Looks to me you forgot the tool offset on the x axis.

Give me phone no

This isn't a good advertisement for this Chinese product is it ? I mean this conversion kit should not have been necessary had PLASTIC gears NOT been used in it's manufacture, as the old saying goes, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Now we can appreciate hail damage! It doesn't take much. (make the upper and lower out of ice and give that a shot!)

Proof that you can never have too many tools - However the tool shed can be too small..

Another great video. Keep it up. To make good quality spot welds you have to make the welding electrodes to be coaxial when the welding materials are between the electrodes & the proper clamping force is applied. Sparking is not normal and could be dangerous ( proper protective gear is a must ). The factory supplied upper tong end has to be bent more to get coaxial with the bottom end. It is obvious that for every thickness of welded materials you will have to use different diameter / length welding tips & set up their alignment individually. A timer is also a must for good quality spot welds. There are timers with welding time compensation. These are monitoring the welding current and adjusting the welding time accordingly

How long did it take to make?

Can you adjust the speed?

Hey, my favorite steel is PD#1 (Punch & Die #1) analogous to cruwear or the old spectrumwear.

Looks like you could give yourself more surface area making contact with your guides when cutting if you did the center notch first then the knock off the 45s Awesome set up! My son and I are building motorcycle parts out of our garage and we find we have to make a lot of tooling

Have you tried a power supply from 120v to12v to eliminate the battery that’s what I’m using for my wench in my shop

We are trying to manufacture the Piper Airplane Ashtrays in our haas Cnc and we are having a hard time with the programming

None of my Craftsman taps have a hole.

What is your cnc conversion equipment called?

Why is it so freakishly expensive ? 270 dollar for this easy to produce piece of metal

thanks!

good work

great job

The flare that you was talking about, leave the thickness of material on that edge rather than a sharp 45 degree and it will cure that "Flare".

😂

how is the radius results ? I mean you gave 5 mm raduis and it cuts how much different ?? there is an offsett 1.63 mm on the knife. what is its effect ?

What stepper drivers are you using?

Painfully to many ah ahh ahh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

Nice upgrades to shop and shear.

Did you install a flow divider in your system? Thanks.

Just saw your video about the hydraulic shear. What size of tie rod cylinder did you use or stoke size.

Beautiful video

Are you selling a product or just a job shop?

WOW! What amazing growth and progress! You have been super busy. Great to see all the innovation and your approach to organization, lean, etc. Do you have a link to your website?

Craig, thanks for showing us your set up! It’s really neat to see how other small businesses are set up. I have a motorcycle parts line that is a very similar operation.

This is my first time viewing one of your videos, nice work by the way. What do you manufacture?

Cool production setup.

Awesome to see lean approach in a tiny production workshop!

If you are looking for a shear, you might chat with Gary Ramsey. @ramseycustoms. He imports them and has installed a ton of them around the country. His commissioning and and training are top notch. BTW. your operation has been growing!!! Awesome to see.

👍😎👍

Thanks for the update and all the best for 2024 👍

Thanks for the update, Craig. It's really great to see a family business growing. Maybe you should film short videos that don't need to be edited. That might give you an opportunity to share some more details without spending as much time. YT shorts maybe?

Great tour! It has been fun watching your progress. Maybe someday you could do a summary video of your products. Thanks for sharing details of things like your shipping system. Any thoughts you could share later on snagging steel for home projects would be appreciated!

Congratulations on your continued growth. I assume because you kept saving 'we' that means you have hired or partnered with someone. I wish you continued success.

where is the tormach?

Only problem is you're missing a Break room.. ((Smile)) Nice! Thankyou for the tour!

Great to see you still doing videos and shop updates. You were one of the few I was watching years ago that helped me decide to buy a Tormach 770 S3 and do a shower curtain enclosure. I'm still using it and it's still making me money and fun projects. I've added a few tools and a 14x40 lathe since then. Doing a little more work from home in my shop every year. Working from my shop from home will hopefully soon be my "slowdown career" which is shaping up to not be much of a slowdown but at least the commute is only 30 seconds! :) . You have got a lot bigger concern going at your home shop than I do so far. I really believe in the way you do things, cost effectively in a perfectly good environment at home where you have control of everything. It's awesome.

The flare up its normal, u can make a smal slip in the corners or u got special dye check out rolleri presbrake dye. Verry Nice build.!!!

Looks like the conversion is successful . Thanks for the video.

where can I find the black tooling plate

Hi, what tonnage press did you use?

Could it be done just as accurately with a work stop if all sides were within +- .002?

Great video! I learned a lot. I do not know much about machining, but I am trying to do a project similar for a museum, and am trying to learn. This was a good start, so thanks!

Lmfao, if you can bandsaw it of course it machines with carbide like butter.

Thanks. It seems obtainable for me now. I too thought it was more difficult.
