Evapo-Rust Rust Remover: amzn.to/3dPXg5N
To aid in his machining projects, Adam recently picked up a full set of micrometer screw gauges--precision calibrated tools for measuring his machined parts and components. Today's One Day Build is a deep dive into how measurement affects machining processes and the ways to achieve ultra-precise measurement, and the customization of a beautiful wooden case to organize and hold all of these important gauges.

@timothymilam732 2 года назад

My dad was a machinist for Texas Instruments, and did the prototype work for engineering the last half of his career. For a person who had no actual formal education, and dropped out to help support the family at a rather young age. He was apparently one heck of a natural machinist, and had drawers full of high end by Starrett, and a couple other manufacturers, B&S, and Mitutoyo is what filled all his Kennedy boxes. He apparently spent a great deal of money for his tools, and back in his day, I know they didn't make a lot of money compared to today's wages. Yet he believed in having the best to do his job, and unfortunately they ended up in the wrong hands, and there was nothing my mom are any of us could do about it. Sadly they all probably were given away for next to nothing at garage sales we had no way of knowing about. He left them to his younger brother, and when he passed his daughter got them, and that's another story altogether, but they're gone hard fact of life. Sorry for rattling on about nothing, but just kinda hit a nerve is all.

@MrDarvis69 Год назад

Specialty items like precision tools will always find their way back into the hands of a person who appreciates them. When you see them in yard sales or at the Goodwill they are just on their way back to a new owner who will appreciate them for what they are. It works like this because the people who know what these things are, are always on the look out for them.

@mdoering 11 месяцев назад

@tested loved this video, one suggestion to take it to the next level: Drill a vertical hole on the top edge of the lower cabinet centered above each drawer all the way through into the drawer face. Drill a shallower but slightly larger diameter concentric hole in which you can drop a spring, and then turn a rod with a step so that it rests on the spring and is just proud of the top lip by 1/4" while open, and cut the rod so it's even with the top edge of the drawer opening when the lid is open. In this way, you can ensure the drawers stay closed when the lid is closed and latched. You could also machine a small externally threaded ferrule that could be inserted into the top of the lower cabinet after the rod and spring are inserted to capture the rod mechanism so it wouldn't be loose. I've seen some old machinist chests with a similar setup to hold a panel on the front.

One way I can think of doing is put a latch on the inside just like one of those hook and latches with the little guard on it to keep it from popping off.

Adam, don`t store your micrometer closed! Always leve a gap to keep it accurate. If you store it closed it might get compressed over time and no longer accurate!

@jamesclaeys3192 3 года назад

That really is a non-issue. In the entire set only of them, the 0"-1", can actually be closed that way. All the other eleven in the set cannot do so. The materials of construction are such that there is virtually no difference in the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion. Only if there was such a difference the CTE could very rapid temperature excursions cause an issue arising from differences in the thermal mass of the various micrometer parts. Before use, the gauge is always supposed to be checked against the standard and re-calibrated as needed.

I have been on and off of the machinist field for over 20 years now. I love Adam's excitement given and appreciation portrayed towards machining tools because I think in general, manual machining is becoming a lost art. As for micrometers in general I found over the years you develop a feel to measure accurately and with repetitiveness given that even using the ratchet on it will sometimes yield inaccuracy. For me I developed a little wiggle while trying tightening with the ratchet, and also you tend to prefer using one particular measuring tool because simply you developed the "feel" for that one. You can see inaccuracies when using many different ones, brands, or even same brand but different series whatnot. Unfortunately In my life at this moment I have ventured onto engineering , but machining I can say is one of those fields that I actually felt most accomplished and gratifying completing a project. Oh I also want to give a mention that the runout of a chuck is very important IMO for your spotting drills, when you have to drill and ream something that has to stay parallel and maintain position over 1.5" or over depths.

Adam- Ronald Regan made famous the phrase “ Trust, but verify”, but my experience with machine tools is trust nothing, verify everything! Low paid factory labor is hard pressed to put bolts in correctly, let alone square things. It’s common practice to file and sand the edges that will bite you and put your blood on projects, dings that will bind sliding pieces etc. Lightly stone the metal tops and sides and so forth. Felt was the preferred contact area for precision tools, check Gertsner machinest boxes, one of the finest items that machinists purchased to put their valuables in. Go ahead and admit it, you just found another rabbit hole to put money into! Great find on the mikes, lifetime goods for generations. And the box that they came in is a classic beauty.

@jamesclaeys3192 3 года назад

Some of us have to do both because the US did not convert to metric but many imported products are metric. Some from China are in both. Its really not an issue as long as one has the corresponding tools and instruments.

FYI, calibration of micrometers (and calipers) does not only consist of adjusting "zeros" but also of checking linearity using a set of gauge blocks over the span of each micrometer.

Great video. And very useful to me, since I also just bought a set of 12 Mitutoyo micrometers. Mine came in two wooden boxes, and the box for the six larger micrometers got smashed up even worse than yours did. This video gave me some good ideas for fixing it.

@dennisd1530 5 месяцев назад

Some people are real special. It's hard to put into words, and Adam is one of those people. Best way I could word it is someone who can make something you would never care about very interesting. Like I could careless about space, the stars, astrophysics. But Neil deGrasse Tyson, his passion makes me pay attention, and the facts he shares and the way he explains it make me wanna get into it more and more. He can explain things on every level and trap almost anyone into wanting to learn and then share his information. Then you listen to another astrophysicist, and it sux. Well, Adam has that type of power. He's so enthusiastic and genuinely enjoys what he's doing. Explains everything to keep everyone included, in a way that everyone can understand. And he's cool and welcoming. So much so you wanna be in the shop with him helping out! Love the channel! I'll definitely be supporting!

@gregorysawyer4472 3 года назад

I know this won't be seen but I don't know the first thing about making, building, tools, gauges etc. But I am addicted to these videos. Adam's enthusiasm BLEEDS through the camera and makes the viewer excited for something most would probably consider quite dry content. I love this channel.

The weighted wire is actually a valve, and nothing more. When the rapidograph pen is placed on the surface, it is pushed back and it allows ink to fall out of the reserve, which is replaced by air that goes through the metered air maze on the side of the valve body. A rapidograph should never be held at any position on the paper other than perpendicular to it, as the nib will eventually wear out unevenly and ink will overcome the metered air maze, which results in blobs of ink. edit: rather than shaking the rapidograph, which can damage the wire in finer tipped pens (where the wire is basically as thin as a human hair), you're supposed to squeeze the body of the ink reserve whilst pressing the tip unto a paper and slowly dragging it down. Five 4 cm long lines are almost always enough to prime the system.

My grandfather was a master machinist for Lynch Machinery after he returned from WWII until he retired in the early 90's. After he passed away suddenly in 1998, my father's brother in law convinced my grandmother that his tools were worthless and basically sold them for penny's... without consulting my father. They were supposed to be handed down to my Dad and eventually me. When dad went to check on them, everything was gone. My brother in law was proud of the 20 or so bucks my grandmother made from his literally 45 year career and all of the tools that go with it. Likely many many thousands of dollars worth of irreplaceable tools and priceless notes. Gone forever. I thought my Dad was going to go to prison that day.

@theserenadingcraftsman Год назад

New tool suggestion for making those fine plunge cuts, buy yourself a multi-tool / reciprocating plunge cut saw. Thousands of situations where it will come in handy, tons of different attachments for differing applications, reasonably inexpensive, and, obnoxiusly loud so your neighbors will greatly appreciate it. Love the project, keep up the good work! 👍🤠

@Nathan511 2 года назад

Hey Adam, great content. There’s a fourth way to measure with your calipers. On the opposite side from the tail you’ll notice when you close the calipers the outside edges become flush. Those two faces are used for situations similar to the tail (depth measurements), but because they are so wide it’s particularly suited for measuring step like features. The wide base helps ensure the measurement is perpendicular to the surface. Cheers

@blackbere666 3 месяца назад

@Quadrodiction 2 года назад

Seeing this 12/9/21. Completely understand how you feel. About 6 years ago I found a set of Mitutoyo micrometers that had barely even been breathed on at an estate sale. I asked how they were going to ship them & they were just going to put them inside a standard size box with a bit of bubble wrap but nothing else. After realizing they were going to be bounced around be a USPS guy that was having a really bad day & was off his medication, I quickly told them to hold off on the shipping until I sent a boatload of foam padding to use inside & out. Fortunately, to the great relief of my blood pressure, they packed it properly & shipped it UPS. Got it for about 75% off so it was completely worth the cost of sending the packing materials & shipping UPS. I very much understand how you feel when opening the box. You just can’t help staring, & drooling, at them in all there precision glory. Thanks for the video. I’m following it to the letter on my box. I was originally trained as a machinist but I’m now disabled & appreciate having one less thing to worry about. Keep on making great videos! It’s greatly appreciated! Ed

My god. As an Aussie watching you measure in feet, inches, then mixing fractions and decimals when needed had me screaming internally. I know its way too late for someone who has grown up constantly using imperial to rewire their brain for metric, but god damn I feel lucky I have never had to measure anything in that ancient system. Why suffer so needlessly.
