Machinist's Minutes: So Close You Can FEEL it
An older skill, but in the home shop it can be pretty useful. using feeler gauges to obtain a depth of cut, really worked good on blending the radius.

When I had my machine shop, I used to set my clearances with a microscope then walk the cutter in. I always did this work on a vertical milling machine. I always got very accurate results.
so... 25 yrs of machining... never owned a set of feeler gauges (had a .005 .0015 and a hand full of .020's but that was it) on the subject of collets and ground flats, for CNC stuff I always tried to use solld set screw holders, the collets and the "heat shrunk" holders simply aren't as rigid, and if yer pushing for production, you will find the failure point of a collet vs solid holders.
Every time I watch your videos now I'm reminded of the immortal Ron Durkee
Shouldn't you be working on shirts? Can those gauges tell us how much closer we are to getting them? Love the content and thank you. ...now get on those shirts.
I use feeler gauges all the time in my machine shop. Yes, I have a DRO. I use them together.
Hows your tshirts with the logo coming?
Hows the tshirt project coming with your logo?
Air cut = smoke break.
What happened to your setup block where it looks like it has weld sputter on it? Oopsie with the welding setup or a cheap set of what looks like 2 4 6 blocks? Love your content and your personality! You and your boys keep it up! Also why are you climb milling on a manual mill or is it because of the size of the machine and the light pass? Does it leave a better surface finish? Was it just more convenient than running the table back to conventional mill?
Paper, when the cutter takes the paper away from you, you are now very close. Or layout fluid, when it goes from blue to shiny you have touched it... or at least that is how i do it
Good morning everyone
What's with the big slits in the machine head? kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2yspLWIj8_cqps.htmlsi=Xs4QKlWir1XAprwn&t=160

On the opposite side is the bolt for tightening the overarm ram, they do this to let the casting flex, all the 2mh models are made this way, I have 3 of this model.

@@HOWEES Ah okay, I thought it might be for something like that, but the cuts looked so sloppy (maybe because of the swarf) that it looked like the machine had angered someone with an angle grinder =)
