@@StefanGotteswinter Reminds me of when i gave my oldest brother a shop tour of the Factory/ Pressroom where i worked, (years ago), and he was gazing upon our 600 ton Verson with a direct drive Progressive transfer cycling in continuous mode, he said "now that's Heavy Metal". We had two 600 tons and they were taller than some one story Houses. But I must say the precision and craftsmanship you work in routinely is just as 'Impressive" Stefan. Amazing work.

KZread has lots of people taking huge cuts on machines. It is nice to see videos like this where skills are demonstrated on how to machine tiny parts.

Thanks Stefan - beautiful parts! Great video!

That was one of my favourite videos Stefan, you are a true craftsman.

Wow. Two videos in one day. Now I can have a good day. Thank you so much Stefan. Appreciate you sharing your time.

Tremendous detail. You’re really at the top of your game. Thanks.

Super cool man! I love seeing you work on these tiny super precise pieces... awesome!

Stefan, I am always impressed by your attention to detail, and your abilities to turn a complex procedure into simplistic learning exercise for people like me. Never thought I would need a microscope at the lathe, but now I see the reason to get one.

One of your best videos. Thank you for making the effort to share your work.

I just finished drilling out a broken 14-24 tang screw in a 1863 Model 2 Maynard Carbine using Milwaukee Titanium ShockWave Red Helix bits in my floor standing Delta Drill press. Using ring bolt vise-grip clamps and a block of 2 x 4 pine wood, starting with a 1/16th bit and then stepping up to a 5/64ths, following a spritz of 3 in 1 penetrant oil. I channeled my inner Stefan/ToT/OxTool & Abom79 as my hand gently pecked with the quill. The broken end spiraled out and triumph was mine. I didn't screw it up. Some civil war veteran in my mother-in-laws family owned it. I got a box of parts. The precision of the machining on this thing is amazing. The side plate fit to the frame is perfect. Look up the good Dr. Maynard on the Net. He invented dental fillings and laid the intellectual foundations for the cap gun. The Model 1 had a shellacked paper tape priming system in place of a percussion cap that was advanced by opening the breech to load the weapon with .50 caliber brass shells containing black powder and tiny holes drilled in the base of the brass case. But primed cartridges were right around the corner so the whole percussion cap system was soon obsolete. All precision machinery development was driven by the need for better guns. By the way, what does that part you made do?

Thanks for the video Stefan. Lots of good tips . I would like a set of those drills. Look very handy.

Just don't look at them too hard, or you'll have lots of carbide blanks to grind stuff from...

Fantastic attention to detail! Thanks for the video.

A little hint that might save you from trouble...PCB drills aren't solid carbide. Their shanks are usually made of steel with a silver brazed cutting tip (at least that's how the Union Tool ones that I get from ebay for 3-5€ per 10pc are). Was really surprised to find that out and kinda embarrassed as I had already made a 1/8" lathe adapter to convert the broken ones to tiny boring tools.

Very intricate work Stephan, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Doug

thanks so much for taking the time to document this Stefan, I know it's hard work. I've been waiting for this video for quite some time...

Watching the amount of work that goes into such a small part, one mistake, and the part is binned. I’d say the greatest talent you have is being patient, just so you think clearly about the procedure and potential failure modes. That said, I’m sure you’ve binned your share of parts over the years lol. Love your work. 🇦🇺

Excellent, as always!!!!!!!!

Stefan you are my inspiration for my daily work in my workshop !!! Thank you !!! greetings from Argentina

All I can say is WOW! Great work Stefan.

Excellent video. Thanks for the time and effort you have put into it.

Stunning work! You never bore your fans with mundane work. From A Bomb and Cutting Edge AU to Clickspring and yourself, this web based education is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for your dedicated filmmaking.

Great execution as always, thanks for sharing!

Very good explanation and good video. You do a great job of explaining why you do a certain procedure and I thank you for taking the time to do that.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Stefan I know how much longer it takes to make a video and work versus just do the work. I enjoyed your reasoning as to what you make as a choice while working and why you have made those decisions. Still waiting on a electronic lead screw showcase video!

That was interesting ! Thank you Stefan for your effort!

Somehow you are always able to reduce complex, daunting tasks to understandable compibents. You are a superb machinist and teacher.

I worked with a Thermal Creep once, quit and got a better job to eliminate said person. Dang Stefan, wouldn’t think about things moving overnight. Learned something new again! Successful video!

When someone else is fishing the parts out of a tumbler its customary to tell them that there is one more part in there than there actually is. SO they keep looking and looking until you tell them "Oh yeah there were only 5"

Opti visor time, my tired eyes need all the help they can get, very good job Stefan.

Thanks for giving inch dimensions when possible. I appreciate that. Always good to see your videos

Stefan, As a testimony to the quality of the subject matter and of the video, I just stayed up much later than I should have watching it (even re-watching bits of it).

Seriously complicated and difficult part to create, amazing job executing!

Outstanding!

Fantastic!

PCB drills are surprisingly short-lived for drilling PCBs. Fiberglass (PCBs are mostly fiberglass impregnated with epoxy) eats the hell out of the carbide. I bet they last a lot longer on aluminium.

I always enjoy your videos u do excellent work thanks for sharing

Excellent. Cool mystery part.

Stefan, "MYSTERY TOOL'', I don't think so, Mr. Pete had them on his guess the MYSTERY TOOL SERIES already, something to do with LEGO'S. Exceptional presentation on the snap ring portion of the build. Only 35 more pieces to go, I hope the first one fits.

I like the idea of machining flats on the side of your chuck adapter. It makes re-indicating the part less problematic and error prone. I will probably be making new plates soon.

In the end you actually make an amazing pair of micro-machined parts. The lead screw yes the "self living life" of the backlash (life of its own thing) vibration and yes the human bumping as you mention. Stefan the UPA 1 price from Niels Machine 1550.00 Euro much more then the 200.00 Euro (I am sad now LOL) so wow nice you have one. The stacking of the holders, shafts, collets as you mention in that mill and such is a lot of potential run out to us, cannot wait to see the results its always about the results and then in production the repeatably to us. We enjoyed your video thank you. PCB carbide drill grade could prove interesting we will watch and learn here you cutting American equivalent of 6061 aluminum? You did it, it worked for you GREAT.

So nice!!!

Thank you for your great videos! Would you share where you buy your grinding and polishing media ? I would like to use it for 3d printed titanium parts. As you probably know 3d printed parts usually need quite a lot of attention when it comes to the surface finish. Thanks a lot !

Excellent !!

"it's just a piece of tool steel.."

I never have liked using small end mills. A full size mill versus a bench top type usauly has a much coarser leadscrew in the 5mm/.200 range. Consequently going for a really fine have feed is a lot tougher. After a while you do develop a touch. But sometimes I have wished that the hand wheel hand a built in planetary drive that had a 10 to 1 ratio. Similliar to how you see on some surface grinders. Brilliant work as always. Good to see that you are getting some Ca Ching, moola, dinaro, cash, money out of your equipment.

The PCB drills, especially the thinner ones, sometimes have a steel shank in which the carbide drill is attached. Found out this the hard way as I tried to make a boring tool bit out of one. After that I checked my PCB drills and found out half of them being hybrids.

Most hss drills and Mills have a shank from steel alloy. You can easily turn, drill and mill shank.

Nice video!

Great Stefan I liked the tip of taking the pressure off the leadscrew. Looking at your hole position, it would have been good to see the drawing of the hole positions, cant imagine the designer would mark hole positions in a X, Y positioning. Unless the holes were of a different radius. I myself would have designed the hole pattern in a angles and show the PCD. Did I miss something? Loved your video as always, Thank you Noel

I see Stefan is following Peters (Edge Precision) example of divulging manufacturing details of 'secret' parts :D

Wow, what a ride! is that weird to say? we're all probably a weird bunch, so i guess it's okay! thank you for another big big chunk of knowledge shared! but i'm still super curious, what these parts were made for!

You make a good teacher

I think you should take up watchmaking for relaxation. See your fellow countryman Steffen Pahlow for inspiration. I will do a clock first, but you could probably jump into a Tourbillon movement right away :). Love the lessons in small part machining.

Very, Very Well Done

Magnificent work, as usual! Is that isopropyl alcohol you're using as a cooling lubricant?

very cool!

Fantastic work as usual, Thanks. Quick question Why did you use the Pantograph not the CNC router to machine the profile?

@StefanGotteswinter

5 жыл бұрын

The pantograph is the more rigid and precise machine, so I went for that.

Screwy little bugger parts alright, but it was fun watching you peel apart the problem of making them.

Stefan I noticed in a previous video that you used moly grease on the re-assembly of a chuck, and I wondered if you could add micro-fine moly power to something like way oil to get enhanced lubricity on ways/etc?? Anu comments? Would there be any downside to this idea? John

It's nice to hold parts that don't feel like they're stabbing you at every corner and edge, isn't it?

I find the elves and pixies come and move the wheels on my machine tools at night, after they have finished tying all of my meter leads and other cords into knots in the drawers of my toolbox, regardless of how I loop / tie them separately. BTW - laughed at the IPA on the oil bottle. In Canada (probably other places) IPA is India Pale Ale - a type of beer..

One trick I saw for getting stuff out of a tumbler more easily is to attach zip ties to them.

Great Video Stefan! Question... How do you dry your tumbler media after washing it before storing it for next use?

I will like you machine a custom camlock spindle for my logan lathe, and mod the pulleys to multy v belt, i really like the silence of belt drive lathes, i know you are in the other side of the sea but, the care and caution you take on every part is what i need for this purpose, shipping $ is not a problem or services fees... And of course i'd really love a video and a part made by you....

Damn it, I knew I should've kept the vibratory feeders they threw out at work! Those stones sure do a nice job. Did you buy a half inch ratchet set yet? It's just not healthy you know, going without one for so long. Even the cheap 192 piece sets from BGS are fine once you grease the ratchets.
