@foldionepapyrus3441 5 месяцев назад

Indeed, and for a college the tooling cost will approach zero after the first year or two running such projects - you already have the tools required and most of them are not really consumed. Though I'd think this might be a little ambitious, expensive and while fun less useful than other options - I'd suggest something like one of those die filer or D-bit grinding casting sets makes a better class project for machinists, as the end result is something they might actually need and it still has heaps of challenge to work through. Though for me it seems like more the retired machinists equivalent of the crossword puzzle - something you do to keep yourself amused and challenged. I'd love to have a crack at something like that myself, though I don't think my smaller machines would have a hope of handling such large casting and not being of the older already established wealth generations I'd not be able to afford such a thing yet...

@jannb.6811 5 месяцев назад

In an electronics class we built a small step down converter (a kit) which we tested in the laboratory. Afterwards we were allowed to keep our builds. It was the best learning experience. You get to build something, take measurements and it will be usable for projects later on. There is no better way of learning something new in my opinion.

@rickseiden1 5 месяцев назад

I'm surprised there's not a way that the little handle can't be configured so the hammer pushes it back into the down stroke position when it's all the way up, then it automatically returns to the upstroke position once the hammer has hit the anvil/work piece.

@zakhenry 5 месяцев назад

it really looks like it is designed to do that with the handle having that extension piece that very nearly touches the hammer on the upstroke. with a combination of that plus a spring to return the handle it probably could be made to run continuously. I wonder if that would even make it workable as a forge as tiny workpieces shed heat quick, but if continually hammered they might hold their heat from deformation - a forge can be lit by just hammering a bit of cold wire

So good to see this finished and working! the smile on your face when it finally went up as well as down was contagious! Just a couple of tips to help future projects, when your drilling and tapping on the lathe (or mill) if you put a good sized countersink before the tap it will help the tap to engage and stop the chance of pushing a burr onto the threads. so for m6 if you use a centredrill large enough to put a 6.25/6.5mm countersink before drilling. The other one at 7:29 you might notice a slight grainy texture to your milling in spots, these are caused by chips not evacuating and getting rubbed into the workface, if you use some coolant/air blast it should stop the swarf sticking like that. Im looking forward to seeing you do something small but awesome with this though, Worlds smallest claymore?

Maybe I’ve been watching blondiehacks for too long- I fully expected you to put the ram blank in the mill and square it up and then find and drill the centers on the ends before putting it in the lathe. Speaking of Quinn, I also watched her build the die filer you mentioned. You really should give it a go, I’m confident that you have accumulated the skills necessary to succeed with it. That’s not to say that you are guaranteed not to have moments of confusion and maybe hair pulling mind you, it is a challenge. I’m really happy the tiny power hammer works. It needs a paint job,a name (please, not Rammy McRamface) and a place of honor in your office. Maybe it can even prove useful in a future project…

@BitHappyy 5 месяцев назад

You didn't need to re-tap new holes for the lever, you just need to loosen the grub screw and realign the lever a bit down further so that it bottoms out further down and will give you more space to lift it up. I'm not sure if that made sense.. So right now it bottoms out before hitting the stop at the bottom, and therefore wants to go higher past the stopper at the top. I would undo the grub screw through the hole in the very back, bring the lever down all the way to the screw that stops it at the bottom, then raise the opposing lever controlling the direction up as far as it will go, and then retighten the grub screw through the back. That should give you more range of motion for the lever.
