Fantastic tools from the Toolroom V blocks 

Well I always come away Wanting something new!

Anything made out of "drillium" is going to be faster :-)

That's what they were made for. Used in a Harig Grind-All or similiar piece of kit www.harigmfg.com/ultragrind5cv.html#:~:text=Harig%27s%20enhanced%20version%20of%20the%20Grind-All%20No.%201%3B,for%20grinding%20punches%2C%20core%20pins%2C%20and%20EDM%20electrodes. The grind all rotates in one four point bearing

Yes, I remember watching that. Now who the hell was it? ;)

Probably some bozo

Worth it.

It is a machine shop. If you dont get it, you wont get it in HD ider. Go watch some HD movies.

@@emilgabor88 True words, but usually Tom's videos are 1080p, that's why he asked it. I see no offense.

Yea, this one was 480p for some reason. RU-vid doing some strange things these days..

RU-vid processes the video in steps after it is uploaded, so if you are very early to a vid the higher quality might not be ready yet.

@@aaronshapiro2542 Entire Day Passes... "Cricket noises"

Because some of the people he works with are indeed wicked smart. They even design equipment, fixtures, processes, but that does not mean they have to actually make them. None of that detracts from Tom's experiences, knowledge, etc. Utilizing the best resources for the task. I have no doubt Tom has influenced some of their work and revisions.

Lawrence Livermore labs is one of those places in the world with a high genius concentration. That’s what he means.

Watch his work shop tour video for insight about what he means. It's not self deprecation or false modesty, it's just respect.

@@intjonmiller I am 70y/young and hear my whole live, people depreciating them self. I found this wrong 60 y ago and stil do, you are who you are. Not one human is more then me as I am not more than other human, I came with nothing else than a bone bag filled with ideas and leave behind a bone bag without those and more ideas. We are all humanly grown like all animals, by the way the size of our brain doesn't mean we are superior to other beings with smaller heads, its all about hot to use it.

Yeo same here 480p max!

2 minutes after You watch it in 480p

Go to the cinema and wach HD. This is a machine shop...

If you have a 3D printer you can print a set very quickly and be the life of the next party! (I keep a set on my desk for customers to play with, though the real reason is to help me spot the engineering and metrology types who know what they are.) You can also make the linear version that those are based on, called Reuleaux's Triangles (best stab at the spelling), with a lathe and three equal lengths of hex stock. I also have a set of those on my desk with holes drilled almost through them so they double as individual pen holders.

It's not a regular song that would be on the radio. RU-vid "Captain Jack - Backing Tracks" Don't just search Captain Jack the artist, that's something different.

New RU-vid algorithm. It seems to put in at least 2x the adds.

SpaceX and Tesla are doing the most interesting work atm, imho.

It probably really depends on which matal you specalize in. Auto makers are going to higher strength steel that stamp well, so cars can be thinner, lighter, cheaper, higher gas milage. Aeroplane makers also want lighter, stronger but do more titanium, aluminum alloys and are moving towards carbon fibre that gets glued together. Jet engines and rockets want the same thing, but in super high temp alloys that have high heat strength. Machine tool tooling sintered carbides with longer edge life, better finish. There is lots of RnD going on if you get into the right companies. Even govt research is still lead by companies funding and joint ventures with companies.

No. Get a degree in another technical field.

Stay away from Tesla. They are at a point where they're losing money every Q. Tesla can't figure out who is in charge and they came figure out how to turn a profit. They're busy making farting features and developing new cars, instead of improving the products they have. Tesla is not a viable business model when they have to constantly look for an a new influx of capital every year. They're also really trying to move development operations out of the U.S., because they don't want to pay US engineers.
