The alternative there being, carry a hammer, nail-bag and a 3foot plank of wood and go for a wander around the place....no one is ever going to ask what you're fixing, seeing you're the boss....especially in a metal engineering shoppe! !:^)
@@mariusthefaker9339 I am a lift driver , and since thats about how we always look when we are busy as crap they don't know know the difference between busy and not lmao
Max Goldberg explain in detail the grievances of the current situation and all the variables you are running through to prevent money loss for the company.... boss gets confused and you have passive aggressively let him know you are smarter than he is.... boss leaves you get to finish your coffee and read the news, then you get back to trying to figure out something stupid like a caveman on your own time.......
You can’t keep stealing parts from your future self, Tony. How would you like it if I already watched this video last week, so present you doesn’t get the views? That’s what past me thought! Now take your present self back to the future and apologize for what you haven’t done yet.
your pfp made me think this was going to be one of those "Nooo! You can't just steal parts from your future self!" "Hey, I'm taking this..." virgin/chad memes lmao
Why not just steal the whole mahoo when it is ready in the future? Just leave the dirty starter project parts for the future guy so he can start from scratch. The guy in the future knows how to make one so the second one should be even better. So then little bit later do the same thing but swap the version 1 mahoo to the improved version the future guy built and you get a free update and technically the guy in the future gets his machine back so you did not even steal anything.
@@_MisterDude pretty good had to have the H-vac guy back out to fix some connections, but it passed inspection, so all in all, a good day. How is it going over there?
Read the title “Consoling a Milling Machine” and originally thought you were going to reassure it that its pet goldfish was swimming in a better place or something 🤣
ahh the English language and it's infinite quirks. silent letters, words that sound identical but differ in meaning, and finally words that are spelled identically only to confuse all non verbal communications XD
Installs a limit switch to stop himself from destroying his custom setup. *Several weeks pass not using the mill* Spends a couple hours trying to figure out why the machine is giving him a limit switch error.
This channel is easily one of my most cherished subscriptions. Thanks, Tony, I know you probably hear it all the time, but I like to let creators know I appreciate the hard work that goes into making videos like this, on top of having other responsibilities.
So, I'm a mechanic and I worked on a young lady's car the other day, her name was Stacey... It was a complicated repair and I was proud of my diag. And efficient repair... Anyway at checkout I asked her how her mom was doing because I heard she's got it going on. Stacey didn't understand, I felt old. Love your humor and if you're ever in lower Alabama I'd buy you ba beer.
@@MJ-nb1qn No, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_New_Orleans_(song) which was two major hits (Arlo Guthrie and later Willie Nelson, posthumous grammy for the writer Goodman) as well as covers (Johnny Cash/ Tennessee Three at their train-chugging best).
Tony... Problem. My fascination with watching your tubes has resulted in me buying, at auction a big old English lathe, an East German milling machine and an old English surface grinder all sitting in my workshop gathering dust. For this indulgence and recklessness you are ultimately responsible.
This is true. I too have been accumulating machines. I've got a cincy Sabre 750 cnc sitting in the barn waiting for new electronics and a cincy 24" shaper waiting for me to scrap the funds together and pick it up. Would really like to start finishing projects before I get another!!
You Sir are suffering from a "finishing" disability. It gets worse the more toys you buy and then neglect, then depression sets in and all begins to feel frustrating and sad...but enough about me!!!!
That’s funny. I start a project full of enthusiasm and ideas, and then at some point realise I need something, or need to make something, which then becomes a sub-project. Then I repeat the process of project/sub-project until I’m at least half a dozen layers in, and either a) forgot what the original project was; or b) find another top level project to get all excited and enthusiastic about. That or my significant other reminds(tells) me what what i should be focusing on (stop wasting time on that useless junk). This I call the Recursive Development Cycle, as a homage to my software development days.
That plaintive dancing sheet metal was beautifully choreographed with an unexpected pallet and colour values. I can see that you have held many a Mark Rothko to many a wall while "The Boss" decides if it should live there. From the depths of interpretive agony, art writhes it way to the surface of awareness.
When you were talking about the parts and the different types of fits, press fit and so on, I fully expected you to mention the notorious conniption fit. Thanks Tony.
Someone probably already said this, I just didn't have time to read the first 600 comments to find out, but as with every TOT video, I learned something valuable - Use nail polish to cover the black thumb nail you smashed while working on the milling machine. Great video as always.
Some ideas: - Swap out the bronze bearings with polymer ones > less stiff, better dampening though (better for the electronic components) The eigenfrequency of the hole arm is kinda low, so you don’t have to be worried about this.. - get your self some industrial PSU for 24 V and 5V > “made in Taiwan“ is not running smoothly all the time :) - if you‘re going to attach the encoders in the positions of the original hand wheels, add a button next to them for shifting the increments (this might be convenient) - use a stylus for the touch screen - it won‘t be a clean operation all the time ;) - add a tool rack on the side of the monitor to store frequently used tools (just about 4), cone cleaning tool and cleaning equipment underneath - Emergency-Stop... According the CNC Router: - Convert it to a Plasma cutter - You already have the control - There is a removable bed.. swap it out for a plasma table with vertically arranged plates + maybe a water reservoir Great video!
@@aaronbuildsa There is quite a bit of torque on this arm.. Thinking about it: it would be easier to keep the bronze bushings and decouple the console with some steel-rubber connectors. Decoupling the console could also be advantageous in terms of electrical isolation to the machine frame 🤔
Hey tony, just wanted to let you know that your RU-vid channel is what got me into machining. I have now been working as a CNC machinist for a month and have to thank you for introducing me to such an amazing trade.
Machinering, CNCing, weldering, I don't care. I learn about things that I'll never put to any use, but that's great. It's interesting, and it's fun, and I'm glad you're back. Thanks for producin'.
@@benbaselet2026 I hear that comet or ajax powder with bleach is a good way to get the last layer of oil/grease off a metal surface. Chemical reaction makes sure there's none left
I think the car is going on there to make oil changes easier, but nothing says This Old Tony like a part being 10-20 times stronger than it needs to be.
Dear Mr. Anthony. I've been following your varied exploits for more than a few years now and wish to tells you how much I enjoy your videos. On an unrelated thought, due to my TBA, I am recalling sitting in the chair during my pre-fluoride childhood in the late Dr. James Jonson, DDS's chair while he was running a drill into my upper jaw that somehow managed to reach both my little toes, at the same time. Anyway the tray he utilized had and additional hinge location on the attachment arm just at the edge of the tray which seemed to allow the tray to be located where he could easily stand beside the chair, sit on the attached stool, or stand on my chest using a diamond tipped pneumatic jackhammer to extract three of my 'wisdom' teeth. Thank you so very much and sorry that I sometimes always ramble about stray thoughts...
It's always a joy to open RU-vid and seeing your favorite hands and not so lean pretty mean half green machine on your mom power feed webpage; It felt like christmas came early and unexpected.
3:57 hay! I've used that shell mill on that CNC mill. also I mentioned we have the same gasket leak you said your had, its not really a problem just never leave it with the tool holder unlocked, otherwise you may find yourself getting yelled at by an old German machine shop manager.
As a CNC machinist, I can 💯% verify we locate our holes using hand spans. It's more than accurate enough for the kind of work we do, making transmissions for Nissan.
Dear Old Tony. I want you to know that your videos are a highlight of my quarantined life and one of the best things I look forward to on RU-vid. Also, you are directly responsible for inspiring me to build my own mini cnc machine. Consequently I am now knee deep in figuring out cnc control, setup, electronics, software configuration, motor selection, encoder/dro selection and usage, and much more. And I haven't even built my machine yet. 😫. I blame you for this, Tony. Anyway, please share your thoughts and setup for controlling your machine. (I need a basis to compare to because I am so lost right now). Good luck, and Godspeed. (Also, maybe add a locking swivel castor to the console arm so you can lock it in place and not have it move from any vibration).
Armature Theologian and Chemist here! Spilled paint loves the rough surfaces that it frequently finds at the bottom of spills and drips. Rough work benches, broomed concrete floors, and old surface plates that have a little wear are the perfect surface for paint adherence. latex gloves, plastic drop-cloths, and other smooth surfaces don't offer that texture, and make it ease to peel off.
nice to see up updates no the maho. i think that you got that idea that cnc is for production or odd shapes, not really meant for one offs or modifications on a part. i do work as a cnc mill machinist and manually program most of my parts. for countours and facing operations, that usually dosnt take longer than 5 min. add that a cnc mill is far stronger and precise than a manual and you will be doing things way quicker 😁
My wife thought she was being replaced when I started talking about a thicknesser. She was incandescent with rage when she heard it was both planer and electric.
After all this time, I still avert my eyes right before you're about to strike an arc. I guess my brain still hasn't registered that this TV ain't got that much output.
You forgot to add in the time retrospectively spent in the future that will become a negative co-efficient of the current video, but be added in to the future video that we wont have to make now.
I know the man probably just chopped a bit off the video with a poorly programmed Z axis move at the end of the editing process (whoops) but clearly we didn't get the claimed result :p
I'm really digging this return to early noise music. no contact mics and distortion pedals and loud feedback. just the pure tones of sheet metal and grinding. that was a good time.
I welded tabs on an angle plate just like that one at work, so I could use our surface plate as a hibachi grill. I think they fired me because the steaks were overdone.
Well, we aren't here for cnc or manual machinig. We are here for fun projects, good humor and clever machining (im wire EDM guy and i have seen a lot as a toolmaker but still sometimes I see in your movies things that makes me "oh...so there is faster way to do that ?!"). Thanks for all this and all best to you and your boss ;)
This popped up while I am procrastinating doing my own work, this just isn't right watching other people work when I'm supposed to be doing my own work but for some reason that is exactly what I'm doing :(
