Mr. Pete, when I was in basic training, my Drill Sargent would yell, "Is Everyone Happy?" And we were required to recite an inappropriate ditty, That was 40 years ago and when you said it in this episode, I automatically recited that ditty. My wife looked at in shock and horror.

When machining a hexagon the distance across the flats multiplied by .866(sin 60 degrees) will give you the distance across points. If you make it 10 or 15 thousandths smaller, a nice corner will be left.

I really appreciate the varying methods presented to achieve the same result. Not to mention providing information about reference materials.

I agree! Everyone I talk shop tools or machining with knows him! Bravo!

Many times a *separate* (hardened) washer has the advantage of allowing the nut to spin, without moving the alignment of what is being clamped, especially if one lubes only the nut-washer interface and not the clamping side of the washer.

Once again our "Mr Pete" dazzles us with things that are so helpful. Thank you kind Sir.

Honestly please don't cut anything out, the information you're providing is utterly priceless and takes me back to when I was a kid talking about these things with my dad uncles and granddad in the kitchen (all engineers/machinists) you may feel like you're teaching us to suck eggs but some might not know, and if they do they can skip it...personally I could just listen to you talking about this for hours. I wanted to ask though how is it that you get the chamfer on the top of the flange leading away from the flats of the hexagon without breaking into them like it is on your example nuts? and does it matter if the flange is just flat like in your finished ones.

Went back to this video today to remind myself how to make flange nuts. Thanks Mr. Pete.

Thanks for making the video, nice techniques. For anyone that does not want to make flange nuts, they are available at McMaster.com, they sell grade 8, grade 5, and low strength nuts, metric and imperial. Bridgeport mill tee slots are 5/8”, and the studs in my kit are 1/2-13 thread. I always wipe my drill bits off after use before returning to the rack. If you lay some covers on your mill table, makes it a lot easier to clean, not so many chips in the t-slots.

Thanks Mr.Pete

They are common stock items ( well they used to be !! ) and would be the cheapest solution in my case.. but this is something you could easily do in a I need it NOW ... and have the skills and tools ( and material ) to get er dun !! 👍

Good job with flange nuts. We used to use castlenuts on the railroad, so you could cutter pin them in place.You still have all ten fingers, so good for you!

I made some of these after you showed me how using the collic blocks. Thanks for the info.

Looking good Mr. Pete.

Thanks Mate, The gift of being able to teach has been bestowed upon you. Lucky fellow. Many can do but only guys like you can teach. Thank you. With this vid i have finely decided which device to buy to make nuts on my mill. The rotary table nearly won the race but after this vid an indexing device has been found online. Before your vid my tool shop only offered very expensive heads i didnt want. Its a deep hole this 'at home' machine shop. I thought id buy a mini lathe but instead i got a got a heavy 600mm lathe and a seperate massive mill drill so now i need a bigger workshop. With your help and knowledge i willl now make uniform sized nuts just like this vid so i dont have to use different spanners on each machine. Thanks Mate, thanks from all of us. We do need this knowledge and appreciate your gift of being able to teach your skills to us.

yea! For the pleasure of watching it be done . Thank you. Then the manufacturers go and taper the flange . Add a centering taper that almost removes the extra thread available to the nut with a deeper cross section due to the inclusion of a flange. Yur an interesting ol' bugger, I love sitting through your lecture and sometimes even fall into a sleep state where I listen to every word but realize my deep subconscious is your student ,at the time I stretch my eyes open against the natural tendency to completely drop off?

Worth doing this job if you need nuts that are special titanium nuts or bolts. I sometimes have to remake a nut that (due to rust) has lost it's edges. This is the case mostly on classic cars that have those unusually sized octagon nuts. somewhere between modern sizes.

I like both designs flange and washer. Problem with the standard nuts is finding the washers. Good morning Lyle, thanks for the video.

Flange nuts are my go to's as well. The type including the underside burrs tends to stay put best I've found.

I like flange nuts, and these ones you've made are great. Maybe on a future video, you could show how to make nuts with captive washers. Like a flange nut, but the washer can slip. These are great for when the nut is clamping something of soft material.

I tried to talk Randy Richards into doing this, but you made a very nice multiply nut project

Good morning Mr. Pete, Good video of going nuts, lol. Coffee please .

Hi Lyle, I have the 25th edition of the Machinery Hanbook, and it has the flange nut dimensions but only for metric, in the 25 edition it is on page 1470. In the index, it is listed under "nuts", "ANSI, metric dimensions" "hex, flanged". I would be surprised if they had omitted it completely by edition 30. I think you used some poetic licence on needing a bob cat to move your cincinatti dividing head, I have a cincinatti dividing head and I agree you have to be a very strong man to lift it onto the table unaided. I would agree that it would cost more to make than buy, in Oz, they are around $10 plus 10% GST for 2. Regards Dennis

One of the best things about making your own washer nuts is you can standardize your parts to use as few wrench sizes as possible. My lathe has all the commonly used fasteners converted to 9/16 heads. I have bolts with flange heads that are 1/4- 20 with a 9/16 head. One wrench does it all.

I watched for the pure enjoyment of it, thank you.

Now personally, I prefer to have to use as few spanners around the Lathe and Bridgeport as possible , so making new Nuts for me is a case of Standardising Nut sizes regardless of thread size. and I have brazed Heavy washers on - found less distortion than welding. Just sweated on. Great - Thanks for posting. Keep on milling!
