Thank again Adam as usual we felt part of the project ! I went to Patreon today and help Adam with his shop. If you like it guys just drop to Patreon and donate ! THANK Adam

whilst watching your videos it takes me right back remember making one of these as a test piece for my apprenticeship in 1975 wow I'm old

What amazing craftsmanship Adam! That hunk of steel is really getting the Abom treatment and a thing of beauty lies hidden within is surely emerging! Thanks for sharing this build and boy do I envy that mill of yours, LOL!!! Aloha...Chuck

Nice work Adam! The vise is really starting to take shape. Thanks for sharing these updates.

"Keep on Trucking" I haven't heard that in 30 years, I like it, I'm gonna add it back in to my daily. :)

This is 'over the top', but you can you tell by your facial expressions that you really enjoy what you're doing.

That's great stuff! Takes me back to when we made stuff we needed in stead of just buying it.

Everything working on the K&T, good plan, dimensions on the money, great surface finish, nothing broke...life is good..

1/2" cut - shucks.. that's some hoggin' - 'great cutter. So nice to have a big potent machine.

Good job Adam looks good. That K&T is making a big pile of chips.

Someone is going to receive some fantastic tooling when they win this tool box! Thanks for the video, CJ

Adam, Terrific video. The finishing mill did a great job and the collet really came in handy. I can't wait to see the vise after the finish grind. Sorry to see the gear lube leaking from the head at the high speeds.Maybe just a seal and hope it's not a big tear down for replacement. Thanks for the video as always love watching your machining expertise.

Nice job Adam,That mill is a keeper.

Hi Adam, really enjoy learning from all of your videos. Would love to see more detail on your setup process and logic if you ever have more time. Your videos are always inspire me to spend more time in the shop. Thanks!

I just hate when grease drops out of my head... Thanks for the video Adam :)

Good stuff Adam! I've got a large Wilton Power Arm waiting for the bullet vise... love that arrangement for hand work.

+Abom79 Fantastic as usual Adam, thanks for posting your progress. When you said you were leaving ten thou for grinding I had to laugh just thinking about Stan hearing that. Ten thou is a hell of a lot of grinding!

Nice job there! That shell Mill cuts like a hot knife throw butter! :)

Happy Canadian thanks giving Adam great stuff🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

You gotta love that K-T mill great video Adam!!

Very nice series so far. Oh and don't worry Abom, that grease will stop drizzling on your parts after its empty.

In addition to The files, I found the Noga debur tools to work really good. Coming out great man, this is going to be a great vise for some lucky person!

We hog with a bandsaw for cuts like that first one you made. Less mess, less waste. Nice work.

love that roughing shell mill. gonna look to pick one of those up

Ah , Yur going to out do your self again Adam , That is some nice milling work ! Always something to fix on a machine .. Saw that grease flying ..

hey adam some nice hogging with the k&t looks like a really robust machine i couldnt do that much hogging out material with my 9x49 trump 2vsg mill.allways enjoy your approach to real good machining i learn a ton from you as i am an up and comming home wanabe machinist.thanks adam .

Happy to see you working on K&T like you said keep on trucking

Great work Adam, but your costing me a lot of money...! Every time I see you use a new piece of tooling (roughing mill), I have to run out and buy one... :-)I have the same problem with my SAIMP vertical mill, oil slinging out of the spindle at higher RPM. Currently I use the "refill" method, but I know I'll have to pull the thing apart at some point. I'll look forward to seeing how the K&T turns out.Cheers, Daniel

that's a nice rigid machine. I'd have band sawn all that metal out

Vice is looking good. Love how that big rougher can eat through the metal. :-) Colin :-)

Hi Adam wow was sad to see all that oil coming out of the spindle area. I have a feeling the spindle bearing assy might be bad...it was clunking too much That mill should be comfy with large cuts but it vibrates too much. Thanks for sharing

Nice job so far Adam.

Love these videos. But you have not shown and of the face cleaning cuts in the previous video. Finally you show it here at 7:38. Thanks. Here is what I love about these videos: at 14:00 I notice the chamfer at the top near corner. I think, "Adam did not show how he did that. I wonder how?" Then at 15:00 Adam show me how. Thanks Adam.

You know if you ever get the notion you could run training weekends in your shop there. Maybe four or five trainees, one for each machine, a roast on the smoker to feed them, fill the cold cabinet with drinks for the evenings. It would be a scream!

When i make similar milling im first cutting off rough with saw. That save my time and endmills🙂

That looks perfect.

Fantastic work, Adam! One question: How come your Baby Bullet isn't pink powder coated with Hello Kitty stickers on it? (LOL) I wish I had a shop and machines because I think this tool maker's collaboration is such a cool idea. Any one can buy tools and tooling. But something that folks have taken their time and knowledge to build carries a lot more clout (if that's the correct word). It shows how tightly knit the KZfaq machining community is and I'm going to (some day) be a part of it! Thanks again, Adam, for sharing your work. And a nod to Brad for coming up with this idea! Well done! Have a good one, guys! Dave

Guess you made the K&T break a sweat when it started dripping that grease! lol That chunk of steel is starting to look like something nice. :-)

if you had the G&E back then.... would have hogged it right out no issues!!

the finish on my Kurt is about what you milled.

nice job , cool stuff ,thanks..

Hi Adam,does it cross your mind that the mist coolant is in the atmosphere your breathing ?doesn't look good to me ? !!love your videosRichard

Adam, is it possible to use a standing bandsaw here and cut the corner before finishing to size? I don't know if you own one but if it's equiped with a powerfeed it can save a lot of cutting time. Idea? Best! Job

Adam, in the he notes for part one you mentioned putting up links to the other collaborators work. Did I miss that somewhere? If overlooked can you add those to the notes for part 4? Thanks!

Maybe amateur question, but why wouldn't one rough that large cutout on a bandsaw first? Seems like a lot of unnecessary time + cutter wear. Keep up the great videos!

Hey, I’m new here, just found you and subbed last week, been watching all your Videos when it’s slow “late at night/early in the morning “ at work. Love the videos, quality, and excellent work you do and you seem like a all around good man. I have a question for you if you don’t mind, and if you have the time to answer. Do you have a detailed shop tour of your own shop?! If so, I can’t find it. I have watched you do tours of several others and subbed to some new people that I didnt know about. But I like your style and quality of videos better than any other, so Im trying to find your tour man, cause I’m loving your shop and set up. I got an old bridge port from my GrandFather when he passed, so I’m learning and trying to practice all I can. It just hard to find the time with my job and my line of work, a lot of overtime, and of course family too. Sure you understand. But if You have a detailed tour of your shop, could you point me in the right direction please? And maybe if you have a video of all your tools too? Like I said can’t find them if you do. Thank You for your time and I’m sorry to bother.

slinging some huge chips there adam

very nice work .

Thanks.

Enjoyed!

The grease situation at 21:00. One can just picture that situation in a production environment. Operator: Hey Bill! I have a problem over here. (plant mechanic walks over) Mechanic: Looks like the seal is on its way out. Here's my grease gun. Put a shot of grease into the head before every job. I'll take care of it when the shift is over.

OK I give. I cannot find the start of this collaboration. I searched Keith's channel and cannot find it. Searched KZfaq as well. What am I missing? I am sure I am just being a chucklehead. :)

Thank you for replying sir. Are you going to do a shop tour 2.0 to highlight the new changes you have done? Keep up the great work!

Really starting to add beauty to that piece of "Booth Machine Shop Old Stock" Adam. You must have shaved off a good few pounds of swarf there! Do you recycle it for renumeration at a salvage yard?

I'm not a machinist, but wouldn't it be more efficient (at least make material available for other jobs) to use one of those cutting wheels to cut the majority of the mass? Then go in with the appropriate milling tool or grinding tool?

Nice work Adam. Jeff

Asalaam aliakum.. Thank You Adam!! 💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️ thank you for all that you do Adam!!

Forever xs infinity and e=Mc2 but Almighty God aka Almighty Allah loves you all even more then that though!! Have a blessed night and thank you again.. Asalaam ✌️✌️🕊️🕊️ peace

Adam, I have to ask, out of all the functions of a machine shop , what is your least or most dreaded job to preform , or do you like a challenge no matter what the job is?

adam nice tool work interesting video. bob

Would you bandsaw out the whole chuck if you had a vertical bandsaw?

Adam, this project has been a good shakedown for the K&T. In the last segment, it seemed like the rapid traverse was really fast. Is that adjustable? Also, it seemed that the grease dripping stopped or slowed down. Maybe some high speed running helped the seal to settle back in.

What purpose is the slot cut through the fixed jaw? I'm building a vice for a Sherline mini mill and would have thought that would weaken the fixed jaw? Your K & T is making short work of those heavy cust and a nice finish!

Adam, is there any reason that you didn't use the bandsaw to rough that notch out and then mill to size?

Really looking good Adam! As usual, I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. I have no knowledge of the following, hence the reason for the question: Is it typical to leave + .010 material for grinding down to spec?

Another great video Adam .. off-topic question but what's the dimensions of your shop ? didn't know if you had said it anywhere else Thx!

Adam, do you ever check the finish? I've seen people use one of them electronic tools, Rz Ra etc to detect finish Roughness, just wondered if you did? Mark.

Adam, how do you keep the mist coolant liquid from going back down into the flood coolant pan from the bed? Great video as usual!!

Adam, what do you do with all the metal chips you cut off your projects????

+Abom79 Hey bud, just figured I'd share with you. You have talked different times in your vids about flood coolant and your Cool Mist system, which is pretty sweet. I just put together a flood coolant sytem for my Sharp mill. I ordered a 160GPH submersible aquarium pump, got it into a five gallon bucket behind the machine. Drilled and tapped the drains on the table of the machine. I got some 1/2" clear flexible PVC line from Lowes for drain hoses and screwed barbed pipe fittings into the drain lines on the table. I ran the hoses back into the bucket. I ordered a 1ft long piece of flex lock line with valve and nozzle from Amazon for 3 bucks. Mix up some coolant and you've got a flood system! This will work on any machine. By thw ay man, I freekin love the rotary welding table from the face plate. That build is f*****g PRISTINE!! Nice workman! Looking forward to your next vid.

Where is the best square thread cutters available or should I grind my own?

+Abom79 Nice work bud! I made one like this myself a few years ago. I use it for R.C. car work, It's perfect for it! That K&T is running good man. Have you gotten the rapid traverse in Z figured out yet? Keep up the great machine work!

Adam, Are the plans for the vise still available? If so, Where can I download them?

Adam Just wondering.. Why did you not go horizontal mill to plow out everything... Lack of tooling for KT or ?

Hi Adam, great work. At some point, I think it would be a good idea for you guys to cooperate in order to make this type of accessories with the intention of selling them, you'd do good business.

adam when you harden steel does steel stay to the same size

Wrong grease in head needs to be high temp stuff.If you get some of that grease in your eyes you will know about it.Keep your eye protection on untill you get the right grease you just cant use any old stuff

I need to keep reminding myself that its the table thats moving, not the tool, due to the camera mounted.

why not use a band saw to cut away the waste and have a use able block of metal rather than winding up with a pile of slivers ?

looks that you adapted your welding table to a vice table.

Bonjour C'est beau.

VISE, bud.

Only thumbs up so far. Zero thumbs down! How long will we go with zero thumbs down?

Seems a saw of some kind could more quickly remove most of that metal.

could u do that big of cut on Bridgeport mill ??

I am asking this as a total wanna be machinist, why not cut that big piece off with a saw (band or other)??

Sorry to say but the sound of the machinery nod off so atleast it give me an excuse to watch it again lol

Too bad you don't have a roll-in saw. You could have sawn most of that material out and not put as much wear on your cutters making all that material into small chips.

Totally boring vides

In addition to The files, I found the Noga debur tools to work really good. Coming out great man, this is going to be a great vise for some lucky person!
