Absolutely agree. I really appreciate it too, my eyes are super sensitive to bright light and when people start welding unfiltered in videos, it's very unpleasant. So a warning or a "filter" like here, is much appreciated!

I've been a professional draftsman for over 18 years now, and have called out run-out specs in GD&T per engineer's direction. Until now I have never seen that actually managed from a machinist's standpoint. Just so used to that being validated by the QE in the metrology labs. Love ALL of your videos by the way!

@@uralmash07 Sure :) Because there is run out on the second gear he cut, the teeth won't be be perpendicular to the axis of the shaft so for some portion of each rotation the gear won't mesh properly which will increase the backlash in the gear set. It will be noisy to begin with but also they will wear unevenly, getting worse over time.

@@BloopTube I've seen most machining processes in my career, but not for run-out. I'm not a machinist so I don't get out to the machine shop very much to see everything the machinist does to make the part. Some places I've worked at the tooling shop isn't even on site.

Grounding through the vise screw is a great way to either get poor welds because of the grease on the screw preventing a good connection or to ruin a screw or nut due to secondary arcing.. Fine if it's a $20 Chinese vise, but a bad thing on an expensive or antique vise.. If you are welding in a vise vs a fixture, clamp to the body or jaw of vise. Our shop vise actually had a tab on the side of the body for a grounding clamp.

There were a bunch of satellites in orbit in the 2010s whose gyroscope wheels failed prematurely. The first one was unusual, but when more and more happened the odds of it being random bad luck were basically zero. Turns out that the metal bearings were repeatedly exposed to several megavolts of static charge (it's not really possible to ground anything in orbit), and over time the micro-arcing caused tiny fragments to flake off inside the bearing housing, eventually leading to total seizure. Newer satellites all use non-metallic bearings.

6:01 That Dremel speaks German, it goes up to every sharp edge and goes "NEIN NEINE NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN NIEN"
