Not sure where some folks get the idea that John is a know it all. I haven't watched a ton of his vids, but I've seen a few occasions where he's shown a mistake he made on a job and could've easily edited it out of the video. My impression of his channel is that he's not just showing what he knows, but also what he's learning.

This is maybe my favorite BOLTR ever, except maybe the first couple. I haven't learned much from teardowns lately, mainly is all the same stuff I've already learned how to recognize from previous teardowns. It was interesting to tear down an amateur-ish product, more feedback and tweaks on how to save money, why the design could be improved, etc. Feels like I got invited to the table at the process. I'd enjoy seeing more semi-professional BOLTRs and hearing why they maybe did things one way, how you might do them differently. I like how you keep in your mistakes too, when you think it's done one way and you find out you're wrong you take it back, not just edit it out. I think the world is made a lot better place the more people are exposed to role models not making a big deal out of being wrong. Also, emphasizing the value of criticism as an investment in that person, rather than an insult, the better. The less stubborn defensive knowi-it-alls and crybabies we breed as a society, the better.

I must say AvE is brutal but he has expanded my manufacturing and design knowledge immensely. I've actually learned more on this channel (and johns) than most 4 year colleges can teach. I fully agree with the line "It's the little things that matter". I can't tell you how many people have seen a poorly installed "sticker" and thought "well, what else is wrong". Great review and scary reviewer. AvE is a madman but in a good way and John seems to be a great owner who accepts criticism well. It's a VERY hard thing to do. One quick edit: It's very refreshing to hear someone understand what a business must spend to make money. "On order to make a buck he must have to spend 3 bucks". Most people simply do not realize this.

6:20 "Fair dinkum"...? Man...I haven't heard _that_ since I was a kid in Sydney. Getting homesick - hit me right in the feels. :-)

Excellent video with lots of good advice and constructive comments for anyone to apply to their own products or even things they make for themselves. I also enjoy John's channel.

"Luckily it's in metric" - AvE, on the internet forever

I love john. He's so positive all the time and he's a great success story. Glad ur supporting him

Free enginerding advice. John's got it made in the shade.

i love your sense of humour. always makes for a good watch, cheers mate.

Including that star impact socket is a must IMO. I built one of these contraptions myself and using regular socket will not work as they chowder up after a dozen uses. You have to have impact rated ones. Impact rated sockets are extremely hard to find in certain sizes. In my case I had to use a star impact socket as the drawbar nut is square (G0704/BF20). Funny though, I used a brass bushing instead of a bearing as you suggest here...

I remember watching NYCCNC's earlier stuff, involving a silencer for a .22 rifle. Good stuff.

Honest and constructive, I bet you made the Bridgeport jig better for everyone getting a new batch. Free design review.

Most likely he drilled, reamed, tapped, etc the holes complete from one side. Then he just flipped it and faced the other side and did the chamfer. So, if the register was off a little from one side to the other, that accounts for the chamfer shift.

He said they were NPT threads, so to get use out of that taper, you'd need to tap them from the side you intend on using them. OF course, I believe that statement to be a mistake in the lang-age dept because why would these be pipe thread?

Could have been drilled and tapped on the machine, then chamfered by hand. This would account for a an error that is seemingly random. If it was an error due to a work piece being removed and/or repositioned, all holes would likely be affected.

Finally early on one of these!! - keep choochin - John's energy is intoxicating. Awesome stuff.

my absolute favorite video of yours. thank you

AvE- The drawbar in your Bridgey is for a 2J (vari-speed head). They work fine for a J head (step pulley), but are made to project above the taller belt housing of the 2J. Both heads have the same spindle length, hence why they interchange from a manually operated stance. Not so with a power drawbar. I totally agree about the fasteners and such. Counterbored holes for SHCS or countersunk for flat heads would be way cleaner, and is the right way to go. It is a simple solution compared to other power drawbars (like Kurt), but the alignment issues don't work out. Some attention to detail was lacking when this was designed or built. My cred- I'm a toolmaker that runs Bridgeports (I even have two at home- yeah, I'm fucked in the head) and have had to fix them when they break.

I don't know why I watch all these vids, I'll never be a machinist but... there is something *mesmerizing* about this stuff.

SOME TIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M WATCHING SWEDISH CHEF! :D GREAT CHANNEL!

Its always neat seeing cross over between channels I watch. :)

Thank you for being so damn transparent with your findings!!

Also keep in mind that chamfers on threads (especially coarse ones) will look like they are offset due to part of the thread being exposed, giving the illusion that the chamfer is shifted towards the opposite end of the exposed thread.

Most people have to pay quite a bit of money to get a thorough look at their product like that. Especially with so much knowledge to help make a better product and recommendations on manufacturing as well

"I'm not a machinist myself, but..." you got me with that one, again.... your word-shlingin' never ceases to make me happy and more confident in my own daily verbal diarrhea.

I bought this kit before John started offering the assembled unit, you had to go to HF and get your own impact tool, it was $50 and seemed well worth it.

He really is livin the dream! You are freakin AWESOME John!

i really like watching NYC CNC he seems like a genuine good guy

Not sure if someone mentioned it but yes it looks like you have an extended drawbar. Nice to have if using a right angle attachment or other attachment on the quill.

You are correct about split lock washers being worthless. Especially when used with flat washers. Your extended hex drawbar is used with the right angle attachment, so when you lower the quill to install it, you still have hex to tighten the drive collet. Nice video. Thanks.

"Flat as pannenkoeken" < You never cease to entertain me haha

"Pretty loose in the hips there.. Ridden hard and put away wet!" LMAO

I spent years teaching my friend how to say "specific" instead of "pacific" and you just threw that all out the window at 4:25, thanks allot 😛 lol. Love your content, have learned a whole hell of a lot. Keep doing it. Thanks again.

Boy, that is one heck of a long draw bar ya' got there kid.

I love your videos. the thing with the lock washer: I also say always the same thing, especially if it used in combination with a regular washer, than the designed function does not work at all. AvE, keep up the good work.

Having just bought one of those butterfly impacts from Harbor Fright, I can tell you that the Milton "M" male comes with the tool...mine did anyway.

You are the one youtuber for me that I really like watching but have no idea what you are doing, subbed.

Awesome interaction between Ave and John. While It might have looked painful from the outside... a couple of iterations back and forth between these two will result in a much better product.

Great review, I'm taking notes for sure!

Yet again nicely narrated by someone who knows his stuff

if I ever buy anything super expensive id like to hire ya, to look it over, the attention to detail. It's why I watch your channel. Finally got me a brushless drill/driver. my first brushless watch your ass I was running in an #9 2 1/2 deck screw I sent it right thru my 2x10.

Neat idea, fast change on the draw-bar, and all one handed.

nycnc and Ave .. my top 2 video channels! Love them both.

The best you tube tool and shop video channel. Nearly, half a million subscribers agree.

I just bought the Skookum shirt, my first AvE shirt, thanks for the option too get one!!

Chinesium is my new favorite word. I've always been happy with a box wrench with a brass bar braised on the other end, to bang on the drawbar.

The design is a result of lack of experience in industry. I like John's channel and have learnt a lot from his channel but without going out there and doing your time in the dirt (factories, mines, job shops) there's just so much you'll miss when it comes to designing a tool like this.

Your drawbar is the length needed for a right angle attachment. You have to run the quill down to clamp those on so a longer drawbar is needed so it can be tightened with the quill down.

John is a kick ass dude. Thanks for the up close and personal on this one.

Love the business perspective on your reviews. Good to know how to get the most buck for your bang.

I recognize a guy when he's busy. Some people have a focus that's "build it now" and some are "design a system" types. It's very lucky when you combine these - there's a few on KZread who do that.

"Ridden hard and put away wet", that is how I like to work my drill bit.

Keep up the good work AVE - love the channel.

AvE + NYC CNC = unstoppable forces

Doesn't look like the chamfers are offset to me, looks like the thread is tricking your eyes. Try putting a counter sunk screw in there to check. Also, dual rate springs only work if one of the rates bottom out before the end of travel, so in this application he could just replace the heavier spring with a longer delrin piece.

I've built a few variations of the same set-up. I try to thread as much as possible, include the main side bars. It allows for interchangeable size bars with heli-coil inserts. Neat idea though.

You could use leader pin bushings and core pins or ejector pins from injection mold supply place and eliminate those linear bearings

The "tappie, tap tap" reminds me of Les Claypool. Lol thanks for the cool "vidjayos". (Incorrect spelling) thanks for all you do and the KZread machinists out there. I dig all your vids.

I'm a College student currently pursuing my Aerospace Engineering degree, but I've always loved machining and it's my fallback career choice. I learned to operate CNC stuff on my FRC team but that's getting off on a tangent. Just wanted to introduce myself and say I love your work. If you have any tips for me I'd love to hear it!

Awesome honest review!! Thanks!

John's going to be sat in the loo crying his eyes out over this review lol

"Flat as a pan of kuchen. "That's definitely a phrase I'm stealing.

Flashbacks to when students would back the draw bar threads all the way out, then start wacking with a hammer, ever after we told them to only back it out 1 turn. I had to pull a hammer out of someones hands more than once. And the sound of collets hitting the floor......

AvE, just a little tid bit for you. According to a list I got from H&W Machine Repair in Indiana, your Bridgeport was built in 1954. Going by the serial number.

Post Clickspring, any metal surface that isn't lapped, I shake my head, I shake my head....

My aluminium mill bed is 650x450, and has 900, yes 900, M8 holes. That really took some time on the CNC mill with a rolltap. Super time saver - that and double sided tape!

That SMW logo was done with a tool most likely from Hutchinson, MN.

You are correct regarding the fasteners and furniture. It must be as simple as possible, using existing forces within the design. Packaging is very important. It´s about efficiency.

@AvE, thanks for providing an honest review of these products even if they were made by an acquaintance.

It looks pretty obvious to me that the holes for the vertical rods were drilled out of place. That's why one of them is way too close to the edge, and why the socket isn't centered in the hole. Obviously the whole "frame" assembly still fits, so my guess would be that something went wrong with the fixture and the whole baseplate was out of place when they were drilled, or that it was a code error.

The seal on that HF 3/8 impact is factory, FYI. I bought one last year and it's just like that. The male air fitting comes mounted by HF too, by the by.

Preface -- AvE, I love your vidjeos! I know this is a 4 years old video, but I felt a comment was needed. The offset you were seeing on the chamfer of the threaded holes is due to the cut of the thread lead-in not being a concentric circle to the chamfer tool (i.e. spot drill). Threads will always appear to be off-center when they are actually perfect. Please keep the BOLTR series running, and your .. well .. you know .. in a vise!

About the chamfers, perhaps they are uneven because the thread is present on one side of the hole and not the other- the hole appears to be off its own centerline because of the missing top thread.

AVE, i use spring lock washers on the bolt or nut end that i dont want to have to hold or cant get a tool on to hold. most times it works great when using a impact.

I could be wrong here, but I think the butterfly impact is slightly off center due to the shape of the rear section of the tool itself being fixed to a perfectly flat surface but not being perfectly flat itself, you can clearly see the uneven Gap around the mating area and after it has been removed and sealed again it is even less accurate at being flat. glad to see that the screw holes have enough movement to adjust it, that was some good forward thinking.

Would you look at that. Less than 5 minutes in and its already got schmoo on it.
