That last tip at about 18.30 minutes in about how little it takes to cause both parallels to not be super tight has just saved my sanity. Thanks again Quinn! (I was questioning everything as I'm just using 2 sets of ground HSS parting blades as parallels for now while I wait to get an actual set of parallels)

Hello Quinn. Holding material in the mill vise with a piece of round stock against the moving jaw and dialling in a block in the 4 jaw chuck using a dead and live centre are things I do all the time. However, you are the first person on youtube who I have seen do this. The mill vise trick works well for very heavy cuts as well. I have a video were I take a .250" deep by 3" wide pass in 4140. The work was held with a piece of round brass between the part and the moving jaw. The set up was accurate and rock solid. I think when my two sons are old enough to start using my equipment I will have them watch your videos first. Thanks, Ken

I’ve used a lathe for a few years and have just ordered a mill and I’m finding these vids really useful. I’ve milled on the lathe but transferring to an actual mill.... Anyway thanks for taking the time 👍🇬🇧

Very thorough coverage of truing-up stock on the mill. Thanks Quinn!

Thank you for explaining the purpose of using round stock in the vise. I really appreciate it!

Always enjoy setting down to relax on a Saturday and finding a new Blondi hacks video available. I’m new to machining and am learning a lot from you. Thank you very much for sharing.

Love these "skill builder" videos! Terrific for the newbie!

This mill series is good stuff. So many little details. Love it!

Very good series on milling for beginners and little advanced the best I ever saw...keep up the good work ,😎

I have said it before, you add a touch of theory to your explanations that make a difference.

Nice job again, Quinn. But for your viewers I want to share something. Any error introduced during setup for facing will affect consistency of thickness dimensions between larger surfaces more than between smaller surfaces. The angular error would be the same, but obviously any angular error is larger when it is over a longer distance. Thus, I think the second of the largest faces should be cut after two opposing smaller faces are made parallel. If the second of the largest surfaces is cut while the other large face is not able to sit firmly on both parallels, it will surely result in the two largest faces NOT being parallel. Therefore, the third cut should be with the one large milled face against the fixed jaw and the smaller milled face on the parallels (using a rod between the moving jaw and the workpiece, of course). This will give two opposing parallel faces which can then be clamped in the vise while one large flat face is completely down on the parallels, thus resulting in the two largest faces being truly parallel. This is often the most critical parallelism desired in a rectangular solid.

Thank you Quinn for another very informative, well -explained & entertaining video.

Excellent video! Ball bearing or round stock to prevent stock distortion, duh! Seems so obvious now you’ve pointed it out but had me stumped for ages. 😊👍🏻

I set about binge watching yours and was amazed at how many things you explained were either new to me or now made sense, such was your amazing clarity of teaching. I'd go as far as saying your series are actually clearer than Tony's and I'm pretty sure that would be a source of great pride to you given the height of that bar. I shall now embark on a journey of epic proportions by binge watching ALL your videos from day one and hopefully contribute further by commenting on some. Bravo Quinn...bravo! 💙💛

Suggested content, also do a round piece on material such as when you only have a mill. OD's and faces.. turning and trepanning.

Quinn, just got a portaban saw, mostly because it cut more accurate than a cut disc. my lathe is ready to paint but!....living in an apartment so it mat have to waittil summer?

You do an excellent job of explaining these techniques. Very knowledgeable. I just looked and did not see a vijeo for laying out parts, something that I struggle with badly. Accurately measuring,marking and transferring measurements, Could you possibly do a video on this subject or if you have, point me to it? Thank you.

FWIW - regarding steel rods for use in the vice. If you can get your hands on a scrap laser printer or copier, I found that the rollers are usually stainless steel and seem to be high precision. They are about 5mm in dia. and 24mm in length. In their scavenged state the have a foam coating - most of which is easily removed with a razor knife and then I go at it with acetone. I generally just use them as stock for misc. projects, but after watching this video I can see they could have a more elegant use.

Totally should have thrown in the visual pun of having a bunch of various metals and vegetables in a cooking pot sitting on the mill.

Thanks for another great video! Have a couple of questions: On the second face, you chose to put the extruded side up and the sawed cut on the parallels. Did you have a reason for doing this or does it not matter so much at this stage? I would have leaned towards setting the extruded side down. Just wondering about your thought process. Also, do you like dead blow hammers for tapping down parts onto the parallels? They have less of a tendency to mar the work surface. Thanks again!

I thought the tap tap tappy was from happy Gilmore. Haha great video

Nice simple understandable explanation and to the point without any sometimes sick jokes and shenanigans,(i am subscribed to this old Tony) Can you tell me the size of your vice? I got a rather low quality 80mm vice thrown in on my mill purchase but i am looking for something a bit bigger, better quality and safer(not so much lift) not in the kurt price range but say no more than $200, I'm undecuded whether to get the Acculock style like yours or the precision toolmaker style that stefan uses on his mill, your thoughts on the subject and if you had to buy again what would you choose. Thanks.

Love these videos. I am even more constrained in space and weight so have a manual Sherline lathe and mill. Very nice machines but the small size s a bit of a challenge as less rigidity and places to clamp various things. If these videos had been out 5 years ago it would have saved me a lot of grief. Any thoughts on wandering into hobbyist CNC?

I'm paraphrasing, but I believe it was DaVinci who said "The sculpture is hiding inside that block of marble. All I have to do is remove the bits that it's hiding it from *your* sight. Just because I _see_ something that other sculptors don't see doesn't make either of us wrong or right!" On the other hand: With some plunge milling, I now know how to make a solid metal match box (lid to follow)! lol

I enjoyed the video. My hack saw battery runs down pretty quick. The horizontal bandsaw you have is sold by everyone including Horror Fright.

Hi Quinn, I'm struggeling to think of the best way to square up a slice of 2" round brass bar . I have an raw circle and two non parallel bandsaw cut sides. Lots of KZreadrs squaring up a almost square block, but nothing about round bar , it must be a common problem, Round bar is much more common than inch thick square stock. Thinking I might skim one face in the lathe first and start from there. Would welcome your opinion. Great channel.

Great tutorial! I wish you had posted it a couple of days ago! I'm currently making that phone holder out of 20x40 mm aluminium (notice the proper spelling! :-o ) and I "squared" my stock by first milling the top, then the bottom... So I'm moving over to the dead tree carcass guys... But really, I don''t have a proper mill and I don't really need that half a thou precision on the phone holder. I think... I also found that the band saw removes material _a lot_ quicker than my "mill" (an old drill press with a milling table). If you're lucky(?) I'll post a video on my making this in a while. (1 day < "a while" < 3 months)
