I got way too obsessed with collets, and now you can too! Topics include: collets, collet storage, collet blocks, and experimental ways of using collet blocks. Collet storage collar model: www.thingiverse.com/thing:621...
I'm digging the angle blocks that double as spacers! There are so many things these days that have become affordable for hobby people that make life a lot easier (CNC stuff, DROs, etc.), but sometimes those take a lot of the thinking out of it. Machining is a process. You seem to really get the idea man I dig it, thanks for the idea!
THat cutaway between you on the bus, and shower was very premium. It's a detail requires a little personal thought to be outside the machine shop, to match what you were saying in the post-recording. That's worth a subscribe:)
What a beautiful end entertaining video, the ideas within are somewhat twisted and have planted a dark and intriguing seed into my brain that without a doubt will diminish my wallet and social life... Only time will tell if I should thank or curse you...
I like this channel because (as a layman) I have no idea what any of the terms you're saying are but then you show a video of the thing and I'm like "oh ok makes sense"
I haven't watched the video yet. I am 95% sure that you can not convince me that Hexagons aren't the Bestagons. Edit after watching: I will admit that in this specific case, the Heptagon is the Bettergon. But since this is undoubtedly an edge case, and the Heptagon needs assistance to be the Bettergon, I would be willing settle for calling it a Reallygoodagon.
Your line about "stacking up enough prime divisors" reminds me of the Newbould Indexer. It uses a stack of plates with partial face splines to index to any angle precisely. Each spline pair has an unusual spacing, such as 1.1° per tooth. (Since the splines aren't complete, they don't need to divide evenly into 360°.)
No, R8s are much narrower, so you'd need a special block for those. It could be done, though I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing. Since R8 has threads on the inside, you can't pass stock all the way through like you can with a C5, so they have a much more restrictive diameter *and* depth they can hold. They're really just intended for holding tooling.
I'd rather get a 1 5/16" hole saw, spade bit, forstner bit, boring head, fly cutter, or router bushing with hole template, sketch or scribe a circle and cut it with a scroll saw, jig saw, Sawzall, coping saw, jewel saw, than be trendy and buy a 3D printer, thats a lot of money i could spend on more machine parts, more tools, more tacos, tortas, sushi, sandwiches, hamburgers, whiskey or tequila, thats just me though.
THANK YOUI, FOR THIS VITAL, AND HELPFUL INFORMATION!!!.. YOU HAVE SOME AWE$OME TOOLING IDEA$ THERE!!!!!!!!!!! TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THESE KINDS OF DETAILS ID DIFFICULT, IF YOU DON'T WORK AS A PROFESSIONAL MACHINIST.
