I can’t be the only one watching the identical curls coming from both sides of that drill bit thinking “what a perfect grind”

With practice, you too can grind a near perfect drill. Better yet, optimized for different materials. The first thing I learned in trade school was cutter geometry, grinding tool bits, drills and how a chip is formed. This is crucial knowledge for machinists because its exactly what we do. We'd best understand what and why it's happening. EVEN IF we can buy all our cutting tools ready to make chips. I'm a retired machinist. I did all of this stuff for nearly 40 years and I still find these videos quite satisfying. Especially on the older manual machines. CNC is amazing, it's the way to make lots of money, merely because one person can keep several machines running at once. But CNC has also effectively dumbed down lots of great potential, much like lots of other tech. No matter how much we 'think' we know there is always something new to be learned.

Well, most of us have "never" left anything loose on a mill or lathe! LOL. We all do it and I appreciate you showing it. Helps reinforce that old adage of check everything before you start a cut. Great result as well! Thanks Adam.

I've never left anything loose in a lathe or mill. But thats because I've never run a lathe or mill. 😆

Personally, as a home shop machinist, I love it whenever you show us the 'woops' moments. Thanks Adam.

As noted frequently; Adam's fit and finish are superb. He's a master craftsman. What a pleasure to watch him so effortlessly turn and mill this beautiful piece. I'll be back, as always, for the lead screw and nut. Thanks so much.

You sure made that look easy. Thanks for sharing.

Adam you should put your makers mark on the top of the bolt. That would be an awesome touch.

4140 My favorite material to machine. An old machinist turned me on to it years ago.

The machined look is my favorite. Great job. That is the benefit of making your own from scratch. You can do those custom touches that make it stand out as something more than functional. Thanks for sharing Adam.

Hi Adam, I love your channel, have been a fan for years, and admire your vast experience, knowledge, and educative approach. COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO IN WHICH YOU TEACH US ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STEEL AND METALS, THEIR ATTRIBUTES, COMMON USE CASES, PROS & CONS, AND HOW TO SPECIFY EACH OF THEM IN A TECHNICAL DRAWING PLEASE!!! You will make the world so much better engineered if you do so...

I think we are all ready to see you making chips on the AP in the new shop. We're all invested in the journey. You must absolutely love your life. I wished I had it. All the best from the UK.

The chips / twists of your drill bit hone never fails to impress. 👏👍💯

I can't thank you enough for getting back to the basics again Adam 😊 The reason why I love your channel so much is because your a proper old school analog machinist. Like I'd be if I had a shop with a few machines 🙂

Thanks for hitting that scratch on the half-lines, something about watching that made it instantly click. And if you did it on accident, thanks for always showing your mistakes. I always learn the most doing the wrong things!

It’s helpful when you tell us the lathe speed & rate of feed for different materials,thanks.

1Your machined bolts always look like works of art!

Always setting a high standard of quality and making it look easy! Really enjoy watching!

Good, "Old Skool" A BomB, shiny, big chip machining. Nice video buddy, nice!

That 4140 machines so nice and leaves a good finish. I was a machinist for a couple years and 4140 was my favorite material to machine. Looks good!

Just watched a video of Curtis at CEE retrofitting a quick change toolpost KZread must think I need this info lol great content Adam.

That is one forevermore BEAST of a toolpost! It'll be a great match for the Pacemaker. Awesome to see that great old lathe inching closer to running again.

Great video as always, Adam. Your OOPS seat 25:15 is an excellent teaching moment. Even the most experienced of us still need to remember the basics. Beautiful work !

A reminder that, as always, humility lies at the core of greatness.

I agree Dave, in my 40 years of aerospace manufacturing, I've always had the luxury of having had equipment the latest and greatest working at Pratt and Whitney and other machine ships. To be honest I've never heard or seen thread triangles.

Needs a ABOM79 stamp on it.

Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!

I like it too Adam, very professional

A little tight you say? After everything is spot on, I think that is Perfect. I was a metal worker all my life, machined everything from re-profiling railway wheels to small brass knobs to replace the plastic/baker-lite ones. Loved the machine-shop. Thanks Adam. Malcolm, North Queensland.

Love what you do always Adam keep up the fine art work

Forgetting to tighten the face mill on the arbor is just everyday life in a manual machine-shop. Thanks for showing it how it actually is, and not needlessly glorifying it. Keep up the good work. -Andy

Abom79 trade mark on top of that bolt should be nice ..................very nice videos

GREAT video Adam, these are the kinds of videos I love making things from scratch. Hearkens back to the excellent series' on the parking attachment and the welding table. That tool post bolt is a work of art, well done as usual.

It is a pleasure to return to this channel and see a real craftsman at work.

I love these videos. They are like mental therapy for me.

I love watching you work. I learned a lot by watching your videos. Greetings from germany 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Nice work. I am looking forward to seeing you manufacture the next two pieces. Thanks for sharing, Adam.

Nice bolt, straight forward and elegant.

The amount if times I've forgotten to clamp something down. Great content and thanks for showing everything as you do.

I'd never seen thread triangles like that before - very cool. I manage to learn something new from every video you publish. Keep up the good work!

Thread wires of different diameters, according to thread pitch, are normally used but are very difficult to hold and measure at the same time.

watching threads get cut is satisfying to watch aha good stuff

I agree. Cutting them is that much better. When you create your own threads and they mate together, well, just look at Mr. Booths face each time he does that first thread check and it works. 😁

Dang Adam, that first pass on the bolt head looked like an untrained beaver with one tooth whittled on it or I did it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside, it turn out awesome like all of your parts do. You have the best finish on your parts.

Very nice work. Definitely can't wait to see the videos of making the new lead screw and nut. Making upgrades to your American Pacer is DEFINITELY a good thing. Just seeing that piece of American history still making parts is a good thing. Yes, CNC is the way of the future for the Machining Industry. However having that large old school lathe with the power it has is as American as that flag hanging in the wall behind it. Id love to have a shop big enough to be able to own a piece of history like that from the Industrial Revolution era.

I saw hundreds of them in China doing nothing, all oiled up, collecting dust in derelict buildings. SO sad.

... road trips and such are all very well but for my money ... a good old flat out machining vid still does it for me ...

Adam, you should machine a plug for the hole on the back side of your T-nut. Might prevent some corrosion and keep chips from falling in there.

You are a true craftsman. What beautiful work.

Man, that screw is a work of art.

Great Video, I've learned alot on this series! Thanks for making the time to do these! That tool post is HUGE!

Thanks for the machining videos. Reminding me of the machining I learned as an apprentice but have forgotten after all these years.

As ever, an excellent and beautifully finished work, Adam. Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us. God bless you and your hands!.

Great process. I followed it well. Especially liked the hex machine work and yes, I think leave it bare metal finish for now. Big ten four Adam.

That bolt was beautiful. I admire your work, Adam.

An awesome piece of machining all done the old school way....Everytime I watch your videos I'm blown away by your skills.....I'm an old guy that did a lot of machine work but very basic mostly engine work. Never did the complex things you do. I think it's a lost art mostly in todays world......

As much as l miss watching the chips fly from the big jobs in the old shop l love watching a tool come into existence. Incredible craftsmanship Adam! 😎

What a beautiful custom toolpost bolt Adam, very very nice work...

I am delighted to watch how carefully and precisely you do your job👍👍

Thank you for sharing, Adam. Been following you from the beginning and always learn something new in every one of your videos. Glad to see you make mistakes from time to time. It just proves that you are human! 🙂

Great work. I just can here to see someone work like it should be, without cutting corners. Love your working philosophie

Nicely done Adam.

very nicely done Adam

Very nice job enjoy this whole segment looking forward to the next part. Thanks again

I saw a Pacemaker for sale in Miami some months ago with an asking price of $1500. I wish I would have jumped on it.

Great video Adam. I especially appreciated you showing us those threading numbers on the dial. I always wondered what it would look like if you hit the wrong line, so I enjoyed the scratch showing it.

I thought this was one of your best videos. I have watched at least 20 videos on thread cutting and everyone uses the nut as a gauge and I thought there must be an accurate way to measure the cut and here it is!

Thanks for another entertaining and educational video. We always appreciate your efforts to share your expertise and experience.

That was cool! The tool looks great.

Looking forward to the lead screw nut and screw. I learn so much here. Thanks.

You’re right, it does look good! Very enjoyable video. Thanks

Very nice job on this bolt Adam. Looks good enough to be used even on Your Lathe. Oh right ~ It IS Going on your lathe. Three Thumbs Up on it.

Enjoyable session. Good work! Thanks for the look see.

Great job Adam as always, thanks for sharing 👌

Leaving something loose on a setup never happened to me lol. Yeah right.. Looked very good Abom

Fantastic work as always 👍🏻

Looks great just the way it is awesome job buddy thanks for sharing

That is a piece of art awesome job Adam

Nice work Adam, great video.👍

I don't know why, but I really like it the best when you're doing "Abom sized" things like this bolt. As someone who tinkers with small things (watches, locks, electronics and such) it's kinda hilarious that I like those "made by giants" things :P

Looks awesome! Well done!

Must say this is the first time being exposed to the PeWe D1... I am absolutely impressed and my tool post currently left wanting, lol. Will certainly check them out! Thank you for providing yet another " above par " essential clip, we appreciate it my friend!

if you want to get a multifix go buy a high quality one like the ones AXA makes. Pewe is produced in china. For not a lot more money you can buy a genuine made in germany AXA (which is way better in fit, finish and resell value). PeWe gives you a certificate for hardness and checks the tools for quality but its still made in china import stuff and not as good as the made in germany tooling. Greetings from Germany ;)

Nice looking rig!

Another fine job Adam!

Beautiful work.Thank you.

You made it so perfect the lubricant made it snug. That's funny.

4:05 .. Love that 6 jaw! :)

Black Oxide now will look so good .... Thanks for sharing ... Stay Safe and well ...

Great job!

Great work Adam really well made fair play to u

good job , that looks really nice

looking forward to the next videos

Beautiful job!

Great video as usual. The one tip I'd offer is to take that t-nut over to the lathe and use it as a thread gage, BEFORE you remove the screw from the lathe. This way you can get exactly the fit you want, since this piece doesn't need to pass inspection.
