As a former Metrologist I really appreciate seeing you work through the problems associated with difficult measurements and then applying the best solution. I think what most people don't realize is how much thought has to go into the initial setup. You have to not only take the measurements and use them, but you have to be able to visualize what measurements need to be taken and then also know why and how to apply them to solve the complex geometry. Really outstanding work!

This channel and Cutting Edge Engineering are the best 2 on you tube.

Neat application of lube on the drill point. I've not found the Anchor lube yet but anxious to try that stuff. Good to see you increasing your equipment base. Better equipment eliminates "shade tree processes".

It's great whenever you show step by step, it's always a learning process! Keep up the videos, be safe!✌🏼💯👏

Over the years I have found that a chewing tobacco can makes a pretty good tap, die and drill lube storage container. I just fill it lube of chose and dip the tool in it. Gluing a magnet to the can be really helpful.

G'day mate, I went the other way, I used set screws with the hard ball end. Single point of contact they work well for me. cheers.

Another great repair. 👍👍@7:36 Digipas level for more accuracy if needed

You can get a more accurate measurement by using measurement sticks. Two sticks put length wise in between your rods. The sticks are each about 3/4” the length of the gap and you simply spread them until each end contacts the rod and you mark where the end of one stick comes to on the other. Then you do the same to the other side and spread or bring in the rod until it’s the same. You can probably find a better description on the internet. They are commonly used to measure for square on things like drawer bottoms.

Nicely done Sir.

I’m an electronics guy. So that servo that connects to that manual ball screw when turned will generate an electrical signal that could be bad for the controller. Make sure when you adjust the hand wheel you either disconnect the shaft from the servo motor or your disconnect the control cable so you don’t get ‘back EMF’ and fry the control board. Just a bit of nerdy advice.

@OFW

Ай бұрын

Well we would hope it would be near perfect. But I have seen some that are 1/4” or so off.

Great content as always. Suggested on leveling the bars to each other, as a toolmaker I would suggest the use of a machinist level instead of the digital level. It will be much higher accuracy, especially once you get use to reading the bubble. You can see changes in the bubble that the digital level will never display. You may not need this level of accuracy but I figured I'd suggest it as you seem to be a person that enjoys continuously improving their quality of work.

I do not. The bushings all have part numbers stamped on the edges. Usually you can still read them after years of abuse.

Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍

Everything about taking the bushings and submerging them in liquid nitrogen to cool them off. Leave the bushings in the liquid nitrogen for about 10 minutes and they will contract and you can easily slide them in to the hole you just machined. Let the bushings warm up and they will appear as if you pressed them in with your hydraulic press. Food for thought my friend.

Does the s-power unit have to go upright? I wonder if it would be easier to set up if the unit wasn’t top-heavy. I also wonder if the unit has enough torque to handle two rough cuts at the same time (if the bar were long enough).

Wondering on your parallel bar method; the level got reversed 180 degrees and still showed the .10 measurement but was the deviation reversed too? In other words by switching sides and flipping the level's direction was the difference between the bars null or .10 + .10??

@OFW

Ай бұрын

It was .10 the same way

7:00 Not to be nitpicky but were you showing that 0.10 is essentially zero, or were you showing that the 0.10 was the same on both sides? Since you flipped the ends of the level as you walked around to the other side, it should have shown 0.10 and -0.10 right, if they were exactly the same pitch. Right?

Except you're .20 off on the level because you didn't spin it around when moving to the bar on the other side. It should of read -.10
