@@michaelhuang2477 no guarantee that other makes have the same system, if it works great but there are other more complicated ways for other types that need resetting.
Very clever little roller tool but my guys would have spun about 8 of these while you are messing round with this one. Get yourself a proper spinning lathe and have a go
@@burtonfootballer5408 I have done ordinary metal spinning and for this particular job the roller worked just fine but thanks forvyour input. One advantage being you don't need an exact form as the od is set by the cross slide.
@@monsterglo indeed they are wonderful creatures, I know there are some who have fears for their safety being so close to humans but they are still wild and need tempting to come near even after all these years.
What is the type of bearing, can't find any information on this inverted V style . It seem as good as using a ball, but easier to make then the a combo of bearing and ball type.
@@mttr4003 thanks for asking, the bearing is a standard bearing(608) with a hardened steel ring pressed on. I can understand why someone came up with the ball and bearing tool but it does add complication.
@@chrisstephens6673 Was that something you were able manufacture yourself. Not sure I would have the precision required for that. I have just done a straight bearing attached to a 1/2 tool post shank. but my result on burnishing are not good at all. Can't seem to get it to accomplish anything resembling what you have shown. Tried different speeds and pressure no results.
@@mttr4003 you need to localise the force applied to a small area to get the surface pressure to do the job. As for accuracy, not a problem just make it a slip fit and bond it with Loctite retainer, although it would be good practice for you to try and make it a press fit, not only as a learning experience but for concentricity too although that is secondary as flex in a lathe allows for ,inor errors. When you harden the ring, heat to boiled carrot colour, quench in oil(even if water hardening steel is used) and temper to straw colour to lower the brittleness a little. If you know that you need a roller burnisher, you should practice the ability to work to tight tolerance when needed. If I can do it so can you!👍
@@adyfinch2918 I use their greed and hunger against them, offer them food, and with patience on your part, they are willing to accept you as their catering manager. I have been feeding them in my garden in the leafy suburbs of NW London for about 15 years but still they only tolerate me.🤔
@@chrisstephens6673 that is lovely and for such a long time. I've had bird feeders in my garden since 2011,a few months ago,posted a couple of videos where I put food out for a fox for the 1st time here in Manchester.
@@adyfinch2918 we had been feeding foxes for years and one night there was a badger on the terrace, and they have been coming ever since. Perhaps you will be lucky too.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Some thinknots see bad even where there is good, a psychological flaw if ever I saw one. The majority of people love them or are indifferent at worst.
I knew about how to reset it, I have the same model. But, what is the tool called for resetting it? I can't find one, and I'd rather not go sticking a nail, screwdriver, or anything in it that's going to damage the rack. Thanks
Now you have me there, I just call it a special tool but it is only a bit of bent wire. The wire is something like 0.6 to 0.8mm, although as long as it fits the slot you should be fine, just push it enough to disengage the rack, you can judge that be the depth of the teeth of the rack, no great force is needed. I could imagine that if you bought one from mitutoyo the price would be significant, so literally a paperclip is the probably an option.
Thanks Chuck, she is an amazing little creature and getting a bit cheeky and stroppy in her badger teenage months. I am only just able to resist kidnapping her and tame her properly.😉 I do have it in mind to build them a proper sett in a quiet part of the garden, in case the neighours garden shed they live under is ever demolished although if they did disturb it there is a risk of 6 months in prison as badger setts are legally protected here.
Yes it is, but last night mum took exception, either she was jealous or thought I was harming her little girl, but we soon made up over a handful of nuts.🙂
Just a heads up…not all Mitutoyo callipers have this facility…some you can lift /prise off the bezel and glass, carefully remove the pointer, replace in the desired position and replace bezel and glass
Thanks for that but I did know. Some other makes that is the way to do it too but not a good way if in the slightest bit ham fisted. The "special tool" method is best and it is a little disappointing that they seem to have dropped it on some models.
I am bad at reading the papers that come with machining tools (Calipers, Mics), and wondered what the little brass rod/pin was for. It worked great. The slot on my 12 inch Mitutoyo Calipers is at the top of the Dial. I got tired of reading it with Zero 180 degrees off position.👍
Nice job works well can you tell me how you go about getting your profiles on your burnishing wheels ? I have several hardened roller wheels but they are already ground to a sharp vee . I haven't been able to duplicate what you've come up with . I especially like the one for close work near the chuck . Great job thanks for the video
Thanks for the comment, the rings were rough shaped from if memory serves EN24 ( an alloy steel something like 4140?) with a normal lathe tool and then refined with a file, after that just hardened and lightly tempered.
Cute but expensive, like I say about having friends, " I used to have one but couldn't afford the upkeep". But since then I gave up smoking and have spare cash now, and what better way to spend it?🤣
That is something unheard of in the badger world, they have been known to stuff themselves, settle down for a quick nap and then come back for more. No fat shaming for them 🤣
Just checked out your channel videos which have some unusual content. About Badgers; some time ago I was asked if I could help out a student in the life science industry , he had to do field studies which involved identification of these animals. I obliged and donated one of my Hypograph identification systems. The study was successful. I am now subscribing to your channel and thank you for your initial comment.
Re unusual, anybody can do usual, I like to look at things differently hence unusual. It's because I don't do usual I don't post regularly only when I have something special. Apart from one badger, who only has one ear, the only way I can identify mine from each other is by their different characters, and yes they do have different characters. Thanks for the sub, it massages my ego.😉
Not just him but another as well, but I won't bore you with a similar video of her. They all seem to be absent recently as the winter is starting here, hope they remember me in the spring.
Thanks for that. Im doing my bit to show the difference between the European ones and the much more aggressive ones in other parts of the world. Im not saying European badgers can't be aggressive because they fight amongst themselves, probably why one of my visitors only has one esr, but if frightened they do their best run away, if they can't then watch out they are powerful creatures.
Hey Chris! Omg, the cute chomping sounds are adorable!!! At this point it seems your Badgers are similar in disposition to our American Raccoons. If they’re around ya and you feed them they’re cool with ya and you can hand feed them. Thx for uploading your videos… One Ear is one lucky badger to be in your neck of the woods!! ✌️🙏🏻
I admit that is a possibility, no matter how unlikely. They have no incentive to bite, I am no threat and if I move to quickly they take fright and run away to the shadows, but soon come back for more free food, which doesn't include human finger. 😉
Just don't run out of snacks or it might make a snack of you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. If that's really a wild badger, you sir are officially the "World's Most Interesting Man" in real life.
They are genuine wild animals but some people confuse the nice and cute European badger with the often aggressive American version. Not so much interesting, as patient! I have been feeding the visitors to my garden for a decade or more. I got the first one to take food from my hand after about a month but it is only this year that I thought to feed them nuts like this, could have done it a lot sooner but never tried before. I'll put your comment on the sweat shirt, just to boost my ego.👍
Thanks for your concern but believe it or not they really aren't interested in eating or even biting me, although the other day one of them tried to suck my thumb. They trust me and I trust them.
I thought I had replied but obviously something went wrong. Thanks Jon, sorry, Grasshopper yes a lot of patience and many hours out in the cold, but not as bad as you get up there. I had to learn patience from dealing with wokes and put it to good use..😃😃😃
Actually a very useful tool if you want to make threads that are actually in spec. Your device gives me new ideas. A proper thread has specific sized flats that must be adhered to in order to meet the standard spec. For 20TPI threads the width of the flat at the root of the Male thread has to be between MIN.00625-->.0125MAX The width of the flat at the root of the Female thread has to be between MIN.003125-->.00625MAX The toolbit must be ground to cut those sized flats and ONLY those sized flats. Your device measures the distance from the point to the flat but a conversion gets the flat width. Which is: (your device Measurement) /.866 = flat width. So that tool you measured .0058 ish will cut a flat that is .0067 wide.👍=good for a male 20TPI! (but out of spec for a female) Conversely you can multiply the spec to get the required reading on your device For cutting a Male 20TPI thread: required flat width.00625 X .866 = .0054 measurement required flat width.0125 X .866 = .0108 measurement So your device will have to measure between .0054 -->.0108 for the flats to cut a proper sized flat for a Male 20TPI thread. For cutting a Female 20TPI thread: .003125 X .866 = .0027 measurement .00625 X .866 = .0054 measurement Your outside the box thinking has given me a pile of new ideas. I think I'll make one but I will trade the micrometer for an indicator for quick checking while grinding threading toolbits. I can only say thank you for this fun!
Glad you like the idea, I recently made one for trapezoidal threads where the flat is more important. While I was making that one I had an extra thought, if you measure the length of the tool before the flat is ground you can grind and measure how much shorter it is after grinding, then you could use a standsrd micrometer to make the measurement.
@@chrisstephens6673 Yes exactly my thought for grinding 60 deg tools . But I think it's hard for an trapezoidal thread because the un flattened tip is so long, there will be a lot of extra metal to grind to get to a point then grind it back. For 60 degree tools we usually grind a 60deg point then add the flat so it's not much metal. For an acme it would mean grinding maybe twice as much metal to get a point to measure from then grind it all off to get the flat. Your tool foregoes the extra grinding and zero's in on just the flat. You just have to calibrate it with a point but after that you don't need a point to start.
@@billshiff2060 I have grinding jigs for both 60 degree and trapezoidal where the overall length could be measured while still in the jig, but that is just technique rather than concept. Feel free to take the idea and run with it any way you like.
PS, last week I made another gizmo, like screw cutting one in the other video, for measuring the flat of the tool, which is much more important on an acme or trapezoidal thread, but you can do the same by measuring from a sharp point to the other end and work out with trig how much shorter it should be with the correct flat width.
What ho young Tom, this video is 5 years old, but I am getting back to playing. I have always been dextrous but I wouldn't have to be if there was enough room for a tripod.😉 Thanks for watching and commenting, this jig is much simpler than the 60 threading one you saw a few years back, if you remember it. I recently made a gizmo for measuring the flat, which as you know is more important on an acme or trapezoidal thread than an ordinary screw one. By the by, where's the meatloaf, I'm getting hungry.

Thanks for the comment, as with all jigs and fixtures they are a means to an end, ie to make life easier. I wouldn't have posted if I didn't think people would copy, so go ahead you have my blessing.
Over the past 40+ years, we simply use 2 large rubber bands. One around the moving jaw and parallel; one around the back jaw and parallel. Nothing to handle when swapping parts, blow/clearing away chips, etc. Easy on and Easy off when the job is finished.
Indeed rubber bands work perfectly well, but I try to come up with things to make people think there are other than the established methods that have been about for decades. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks the comment. If I got you thinking my job is done, and it's 5 years. As I said I wasn't happy with the video so had no intention of posting but HaxbyShed asked for a picture after I mentioned it to him and I thought why not. The normal threading one is a bit cleverer because of the extra angles involved. Maybe I'll post a video one day.
@@624Dudley my new favourite will stand with his/her paws on my knee while I feed it it's special treats, which shows a certain level of trust, or maybe greed, but it is difficult to film.
