Amateur hour. Lol. We love you tony

Hey Tony, you got great results considering the soft wood and the bit used! Here is a tip that helps with the cut being "fuzzy", coming from somebody who has done a lot of CNC checkering on a lot of types of wood. Use a 90-degree engraving bit instead of a V-groove bit. An engraving bit usually has just one flute, it's basically a cone with one side cut flat like a "D bit". But that's NOT the important part. The important part is that it has a slightly off-center tip. A V-groove bit doesn't cut at all in the bottom of the groove because its very tip, rotating on-center, has a surface speed of...zero. So no matter how sharp a V bit you use, the centered point is just dragging in the bottom of the cut and it'll always come out fuzzy in anything softer than, say, rosewood. Not a big deal if you're trying to cut a huge groove, but for the little .025"-.030" deep grooves in your average checkering pattern, a little fuzz makes a BIG impact. The engraving bit solves that problem and gives crisp results. The off-center point technically cuts a tiny flat in the bottom of each groove, but it's not something you would notice.

Soft? Hickory is soft? Also, checkering should be done using a 60' cutter.

@useoftoaster

2 жыл бұрын

@@LBCAndrew Fair enough on the wood, hickory is probably hard enough. I know walnut is soft enough to fuzz up if you use the wrong bit, exotics like ebony are hard enough you get clean results with just about any bit. Hickory is between those two. Regarding the cutter I'm sure you could use 60 all the way but 90 is more traditional and in my view more practical. For the same lines-per-inch, assuming you're making pyramids with actual points and not a flat at the top, 60 would go very deep and the resulting pyramids would be fragile and wear down quickly. For example if you're doing 18 LPI checkering, with a 60 degree cutter you would have to go .048" deep to form pointed pyramids. With a 90 you only have to cut .028" deep for 18 LPI. The pyramids are fatter and have more structural support. Now if you are checkering by hand, it's my understanding that a 60 degree cutter is useful when laying out the lines. It's easier to stay in the groove with a 60. So you can cut shallow grooves with your 60 degree cutter, and then use the 90 degree cutter to chase the lines -- not necessarily making them any deeper, but widening them to change the flats in between the grooves into sharp points. The Gunline checkering guide describes exactly this process of starting with a 60 and finishing with a 90.

I feel like we don't deserve the amount of great video ToT is putting out lately.

Not only is TOT back, but two videos one after the other? Best Christmas present ever. Hope you're doing well Tony, loved watching you step away from metal and into my material where mistakes are expected and the tolerances don't matter. Loving the fancy checkered hammerhead hammer - hope it doesn't end up as a wall hanger!

For a first go on with a handle that started out in rough shape and a slow spindle, that looks pretty good! I think there might be a much easier way of doing the checker pattern in Fusion just using the outline. Run a 2d Contour for the outline, then a parallel op on the "pocket" inside the outline. Tell Fusion the angle you want it to run the parallel passes at and set pass depth and stepover appropriately for the bit you are using. You can then add another pass at 90 degrees to the first pass (in the dialog for parallel) and voila, checker pattern. That won't make your spindle any faster, but it would give you an easy way to control the check pattern without re-drawing it every time. Great to see the new videos pouring in lately.

I can't speak to CNC, but I have done a lot of hand checkering (with file like hand cutters, not dremel), and in my experience, problem #4 is that checkering is almost always done after the hard finish is applied. This has a dramatic effect on the amount of tear out of the tiny wood parts. I have to imagine it would have the same effect with a slow spinning tool. Even if I am intending an oil finish, I sand with 1000 wet /dry, rub in 2 coats of polymerizing oil, let it harden, and then checker.

I can totally confirm that it's the proper way of doing patterns like that. You only need linear geometry to follow if that pattern involves something rather than straight rows. In that case, it has to be generated as a projected contour limited by the outside boundary.

Aaaah, now HERE is the best comment

Our company does lots of wood checkering - you hit on the main issues, but I would also add you might want to try running your lines fully instead of jumping around (by that I mean, cutting each row in one pass, instead of cutting around each diamond). The changes in direction have inertia to deal with, so it might reduce your chipping. Love your work!

Heya, gunsmith here. One of the issues with checkering the harder woods is they become brittle and rarely can be shaped to a proper point. I don't know if it was just convenience or secret planning but one way you can help make stable checkering on harder woods is reduce the ratio of the diamonds, so making them squares like you did gave them the best chance. Normally we use diamonds about twice as long as wide. Another way to help the more brittle woods come to points is to seal and bolster the wood first. I am in the habit of brushing the pattern with a thinned oil mix every time I change direction, even on good walnut. A proper sanding sealer can sometimes be just enough that it helps keep the wood together, which is why we usually finish the stock first then checker it, even though checkering a stock risks damaging the finish (beyond the bit we are intentionally damaging that is). It is possible to do the reverse but not having to avoid checkering while sanding down a finish is also very convenient. It is way harder on the tools but about the only way to reliably get a good pattern on maple is to layout your lines, add CA glue, then cut your points and add more any time you notice the wood getting kind of powdery. On layout, we usually set a pair of master lines in the center of the work then we offset from there. The reason we start in the middle instead of the edge is we cut along (usually with a guide) as close to even with the line next to it as we can. Because we often are cutting on curves we tend to only cut a few lines at a time on a single pass of the tool, the cradle we use to hold a workpiece only gives us so much freedom, so it may be that two or three lines are perfectly spaced by the tool then one line is close to perfectly spaced and as you go on with the pattern the tolerance stacking can start to show. We try to find the common minimum distance for the pattern to be from any particular line and make that the master line, be it a fill in or a point pattern. The advantage of cutting a piece by hand in a cradle that lets us put the pattern over the flow of the surface is the points always go out, not merely up, and they do not deform on curves (as much at least) giving a more uniform texture. That can be remedied to some extent with a 4th or 5th axis but as long as (and I say this with all of the love in the world) amateurs put out work like this it just makes good artistry shine even better. Thank you for the video!

@@stevewyckoff6904 It depends on the tool I guess if strength is an issue or not but if you say it is not an issue then it can be whatever you like. I assume the handle shown in this video is a typical hickory wood, which is good for a handle, but if you want good checkering and don't mind putting in the work then you can really use anything. As I mentioned in the comment, a thinned finish or sanding sealer than can penetrate into the wood or a cyanoacrylate like "Hot Stuff, Thin" or possibly even a thinned wood glue (if color is not an issue) could be used to fill the pores and grain of the wood so it is less prone to chip off. Might even be able to hot apply wax but I have not tried checkering finicky wood sealed with wax so I can't say for sure. The idea is at that point you are more carving plastic that has wood in it than just wood. You draw on your pattern, use a flexible straight edge to set your master lines, carefully start the groove for your master lines with a single line cutter, then use a spacer cutter that is essentially two or three or four v shaped files except one is smooth and you run the smooth one in the groove you just cut and the cutting side cuts in 1 or 2 or sometimes 3 new lines depending on the tool you use. Do that till you have thin lines expanding left and right to the edged from both master lines, using the flexible straight edge for any areas where there is a break in the line pattern to keep it even, add your sealer/finish/glue, let it set, then begin the always time consuming process of cutting those lines deeper and deeper till you have pointed diamonds, adding more stabilizer as you go. If you break a few off that isn't an issue really, just save the dust, pile it where the points broke out, drop of CA glue and then shape it again. Once you have points then you do the edge then brush thoroughly to remove dust, feel free to use something like acetone or cleaner being sure to mask off any existing finish on the uncheckered surface, then apply your finish. Easy.

@@floorpizza8074 It is very difficult to keep a full time gunsmith fed. Efficiency is a major part of it. High volume is profitable. Literally, for a pattern like what is shown in the video (though nicer) would you pay $100-150? Just that panel, not also for one matching or any other, just that one area shown, would you pay that much? That is what hand work can cost. I have cleaned up checkering on many guns, I have checkered my own guns, I have checkered guns for friends and family, but I have never had anyone hire me for checkering. There are guys that have stocks sent to them from all over the country and they just do checkering and they get by ok. For a few years I was the only full time gunsmith in a city of 200,000, and legitimately I only had about 25 hours a week of actual work at the busiest, the rest was just practice or shop tasks. Guns these days don't usually need gunsmiths so we are a dying breed.

When I did it at Lake Washington Technical, just the chips were so bad that I couldn't get it off the college's VF-2's ways and the mill vice, even using a combination of hard cleaners and scotch brite! just leaving the walnut chips there on the ways overnight permanently stained them. Hope this helps.

Oh wow! An engineer with a great sense of humour and self sarcasm! Instantly subscribed! Still in stitches after I saw you turn on the gadget with the broom stick.... And those cuts are also brilliant!

You can do a pocket operation with a stepover value as your checker pattern pitch and skip all the internal lines. Use the chamfer tool even though the program thinks its a flat mill clearing the whole pocket. There are tutorials for knurling patterns that cover this fusion shortcut.

Thanks for the video ToT! I hope you enjoy sharing your knowledge at least as much as I enjoy learning vicariously.

I’m so glad you’ve started putting out videos again, I look forward to see the future videos

The biggest mistake was keeping the checkering separate from the outline. You had a great master line with the center divider on the design. Just make lines following that master line and progress to the end on the pattern, then invert the lines and trim where it goes over the divider in the pattern. You'll have sharper peaks and a little more grip. To get even more though, you need a bit that comes to a sharper angle, which will require a higher lines per inch for the checkering.

Nice! Could you do some weirder checkering, for example using the Penrose tiling or whatever? I guess it'd give essentially the same result, just maybe look more interesting

I'm not sure point topped checkers on the side grain would work out as it sounds. You would have side grain stacked layers all the way to the point making the sides if each checker all end grain. In my opinion, I don't think the points would last or stay sharp, if you could even get them sharp they would chip pretty easy just by using the hammer or go all fuzzy. Having the flat top would give more support to the entire checker pyramid. Maybe make rounded rectangles instead of pyramids using a tiny curved or rounded cutter bit instead of a pointy one. Just some thoughts. I build and finish custom bedroom furniture for a living. Hopefully that is enough credentials for having an opinion. Love the videos.

Coming from a CNC Router Table perspective, and using Vectric, this seemed overly complicated. Especially the way Fusion handles cut paths. And yes, you'd need at least 60° engraving bit if you are doing this for realsies. Or if you are really fancy, a 15° flat tip detail carver bit.

That was totally amazing for the first shot! Very very neat, thanks.

Best Christmas present I could have ever hoped for, Thanks TOT

You're right about the spindle speed. I guess for a project like this you'd need more of a CNC router than an old milling machine. If you're interested check out some of the videos on youtube, some guys even build their own though I wouldn't recommend a beginner like Tony attempt that.

ToT built his own, it is featured in many of his older videos

I was hoping you would do the hammer. Would like to see more of this type of thing too.

Well, Kenny... Look at what you've done. I sure hope you're proud of yourself. Cause I sure as hell am. Bravo 👏

Awesome video! Keep them coming!! Great job, Tony!!!👍👍👍

Unfortunately Hickory wood is very prone to break out like this. Try a fruit wood handle for smooooth cutting.

250 years to colonize mars? Your time machine might have gone down the wrong parallel universe path. My lathe was set to C and it was only 25 years.

This is fantastic! I had the same thought following the surface mapping video!

These videos are the best Christmas present you’ve ever gotten me

Hey ToT! Please consider syndicating your content on Odysee and/or Rumble. I'd love to support you without feeding the KZread beast.

yes, but we need the beast for ToT so please feed it

More unscheduled impromptu videos please 🙂(once you feed the kids of course)

Tony, you bring joy into my life. I hope you have a lot of it in yours......... And you make me cry.......... Laughing.

Congratulations & celebrations on passing 1 milllion subscribers! You earned it!

I'd just draw the 2d curves which would represent center of where the endmill should be travelling -2D contour operation, turn COMPENSATION OFF, disable Lead IN&Lead OUT, set the BOTTOM HEIGHT as how deep the endmill would go and that's it. No roughing passes, no multiple depths, no ramps - the endmill should just go straight down on the center of the line at the set bottom heigh. To get nice sharp pyramid just adjust the bottom height (space between 4 lines define the area of the pyramid). Easy, quick, painless. Edit: You could draw a quick hatch pattern lines and then create an outline which would set the Stock contours - this way you don't have to do any tedious manual trimming of lines. Unfortunately, such a technique on a 3axis mill would not be sufficient for high end firearm checkering - you'd need a 5axis with a 3d model so it could angle the tool properly so you get non distorted pattern.

Hi there

That is a very good example, I'll try that too. Thx for the inspiration. 😊👌
