Added 2022-02-11 21:25:33 +0000 UTCHi Folks,
This was a fun little build, and will be a useful add-on to the base machine. Do please enjoy!
Cheers,
Chris.

Thank you mate! That one is shop made, just milled out a hollow from mild steel - Cheers :)

2022-02-22 03:25:15 +0000 UTCHey Chris, glad I finally got to this and as always a treat! Superb build and love the oval head clocked screws...always perfection. I noticed in your heat treating you have a new small crucible for the screws and profile tool. Did you buy or make that and from what material? Like the idea of just covering with flux paste and not doing the whole wire wrap thing although it has its purpose. My Very Best to you always!! ~PJ
PJ
2022-02-18 21:41:26 +0000 UTCThank you for the mention and the link Chris...high praise being from you...especially with your perfectly formed knurls and stylish thumb screw! Hope Dave and Bob get what they need from my dissertation and hands on learning.
PJ
2022-02-18 21:32:57 +0000 UTCAh very good! Cheers Martin :)

2022-02-14 18:23:39 +0000 UTCHi my machine has the same hole so they must have been factory
Martin Godward
2022-02-14 11:50:47 +0000 UTCQuite a skill to make an add on look absolutely original! Great job!
Brandon
2022-02-14 01:50:38 +0000 UTCRite Chris, Stop tempting us with yumminess! The close of the vid, what you working on? Stay safe Dude. GB :)

Clickspring
2022-02-12 18:39:53 +0000 UTCThanks for asking the question! Now I'll have to spend some "quality time" studying PJ's blog too. ;)
Bob Vines
2022-02-12 17:17:11 +0000 UTCAh, I’ve just seen someone else has asked the same question. Simply stunning
Philip Oestreich
2022-02-12 10:20:05 +0000 UTCBeautiful work and presentation, as always. One question: the slots in the heads of the screws have lined up beautifully with each other, and in the case of the locking screw, the long axis of the part. Please tell me this wasn’t coincidental, and you’ve taken great pains to insert the screws, mark them for slot, and then set up to get the slot in the right place? If that is the case, how did you tighten them to the correct position and get them back out again in order to complete the machining? In awe of your attention to detail, as always!!
Philip Oestreich
2022-02-12 10:18:15 +0000 UTCThanks once again for another excellent video - I always learn so much from all the little details in your videos.
Phil Sydor
2022-02-12 08:44:51 +0000 UTCThanks Jeff, that is called Rodico - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2022-02-12 04:41:07 +0000 UTCSo true :)
Clickspring
2022-02-12 04:39:05 +0000 UTCAlways a joy to hear you narrating a video. Thanks for the content. Weird question, what is the clay/gum you use to clean the screws after breaking the edge with the Arkansas stone?
Jeff Krajacich
2022-02-12 02:34:54 +0000 UTCExcellent work, as always. There's something very gratifying about making tools. Creating something with purpose that will survive long after we are gone.
Casey Taylor
2022-02-12 01:26:46 +0000 UTCThanks Jim. In fact in this case it was indeed a happy accident! But your method would work well - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2022-02-12 00:40:33 +0000 UTCThat is a wonderfully written blog. I'll have to spend some time with it. Thank you and PJ for all your efforts to share knowledge 🙂
Dave Cannon
2022-02-12 00:38:06 +0000 UTCCheers John :)
Clickspring
2022-02-12 00:32:12 +0000 UTCBeautiful work and video as always, Chris. How did you time the screw heads? Run them in by hand and mark before you ran the slitting saw? It can’t have been an accident. 🙂
Jim
2022-02-12 00:27:15 +0000 UTCDelightfull
John Reid
2022-02-12 00:02:58 +0000 UTCBut, then, this is why I watch your youtube videos and you (probably) don't watch mine. There's less to be enjoyed in watching "yeah, but I just came in from the workshop doing better than that"
Andy Pugh
2022-02-11 23:58:20 +0000 UTCYep some interesting threads in use across the design, a snap shot of a bygone age - Cheers :)

Clickspring
2022-02-11 23:34:57 +0000 UTCAs Drew mentions below, its a plastic deformation process with this type of knurl wheel. Yes a little math required, but nothing too fancy. Patron PJ is the resident expert, and has written much in detail on the process here: https://sites.google.com/site/pjsminilathe/making-chips/knurling - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2022-02-11 23:34:16 +0000 UTCSo true! Was very pleased to have them already in the shop :)

Clickspring
2022-02-11 23:30:52 +0000 UTCWhat thread standard are the fasteners on that machine? They look sort-of-Whitworthy but could be something interesting like Holzapfel?
Andy Pugh
2022-02-11 22:47:34 +0000 UTCA bandsaw cut not cleaned up at all would be presentable enough for _my_ purposes :-)
Andy Pugh
2022-02-11 22:44:19 +0000 UTCFantastic video as always, Chris! The best way to end a friday evening ;)
Stefan
2022-02-11 22:40:13 +0000 UTCNew Shiny! Wheeee! Always love watching good craftsmanship in progress.
Leo G.
2022-02-11 22:01:28 +0000 UTCThere are cutting knurlers, but the kind us regular folk use deform the metal to make the marks.
Drew
2022-02-11 21:59:55 +0000 UTCWhen you create knurling, I know the wheels are cutting, but how? Is there a vibration that cause the grooves? Sheer pressure forcing the creation of the cuts? And how do you know the pattern will line up? Is there a math equation like teeth number to gear diameter? And if you wanted to round off the teeth, to give them a worn look, would you file or sand while it's spinning on the lathe or drill press? I have so many questions.
Dave Cannon
2022-02-11 21:52:37 +0000 UTCOoo transfer screws! I didn't even think about these. Gonna add some to my tool box. I'll be used rarely but super useful when I'd need it.
