I'll share how to properly modify a lathe compound slide for mounting a PeWE Tools Multifix type tool post. According to the inventors of this style of tool post, you need to have the post body pulled down to a solid surface, not over a gap like you typically seen with the wedge styles.

I’ve been a machinist for 18 years and I still love it. That KBC is a really good little mill. Love the videos sir!

@reinermiteibidde1009 Год назад

Right, these conventional mills are getting very rare nowadays.

@rogerscottcathey Год назад

Did the KBC sound a little loose somewhere? The piece got tight putting it into the key slot. Think there was movement of the vice?

@Frankodilla Год назад

@@rogerscottcathey no it’s not loose just the machine might be slightly tilting with the weight shifting as the table moves if the gibs have any slack. But that machine sounded good. I’d chock it up to the compound having a slight taper in the t slot.

As always, Adam's fit and finish are just beautiful. A pleasure to watch him work and see the finished product emerge.

Wow, awesome generosity from viewers. Ime sure everything will be cherished and put to good use.

@bernardmauge8613 Год назад

Nice work, beautiful photography, class act. I am planning to get one for my old French lathe, now I know what to do. Thanks.

@mfc4591 Год назад

Adam, you made that drilling and tapping process for the T nut look so easy. In my experience, its always done with effort and with some trepidation ! Thanks for the video.

@marceloiannini8199 Год назад

Adam, I found out that my Multifix size E couldn’t stop rotating until I put the dowel pin. I used a M6 stud bolt as a dowel pin, as the fit was really tight and made it removable, which turned out years later to be the salvation for mounting my recently acquired toolpost grinder. Your work quality makes me feel ashamed of mine’s!

@williambramer8217 Год назад

Superb work as usual. The Precision Matthews lathe always looks super concentric and stable. The effort you put into setting it up has produced dividends - the finish on the work pieces is outstanding!

@rickybradby1312 Год назад

Query, why did you not clamp your compound base directly to your milling table, sitting on your parallels? Pulled down as like it would be in your lathe.

@erichoff7926 Год назад

Adam your personal honor and commitment to excellence is always evident. Great work; every .003 thou counts! Eric

@bertblankenstein3738 Год назад

But by lifting the one side by 3 thou he only needed a minimal pass in to the slide. Without that adjustment he would have had to go 3 thou deeper to clean it up all the way across.

@spdy3926 Год назад

I think it's great to see a project of you making something. This is where you shine! It's like classic Abom. Luv it! Nice work, and the explanations are simple and clear. Nice narrative. Thanks for the great video!

It will eat on you when measurements are so close you will break it down and make it rght. Awesome Adam

@bobwilliams7343 Год назад

Hi Adam you levelled the top of the compound but isn,t the bottom of it three thou out now.. I might be wrong trigonometry was not my thing in school ..anyway love the videos keep em coming

@gaboonviper85 Год назад

Potentially yes but thats ultimately irrelevant and wouldn't effect anything....so long as the bed ways are straight and true then parts will be true also.

@petemclinc Год назад

Well before decking the top surface of that compound and T- Nut, I would set that compound on your AA Starrett surface plate and run an indicator all over the top side to see if it's parallel with the base.

@patrickl6866 Год назад

Appreciate the good/detailed videos. I went to Walter's site to look at the external threading tool style you were using (vertical insert) and they don't show it as an item they carry. Maybe I just can't find it. Do you have a link for the external threading holder and inserts?

@EPaulIII Год назад

Great video! Interesting point about the 0.003" off parallel. I wonder if the dovetail slides are also off parallel, or if they are true to the bottom. I would have checked that before deciding how to do the top with the new tee nut. I also wonder if this technique might be advantageous when mounting other types of tool posts. I designed my own with a broad, circular base that straddles the slot in the compound but now I am wondering if this mounting technique might make it more rigid.

@chemech Год назад

I'm suspecting that the 0.003" [0.0762mm] was well within the manufacturing tolerance for the compound slide housing. that's seldom a truly precision ground surface. I'd be checking the bottom surface of the rotating base first a little bit more for parallelism and flatness, as that's a machined surface and can be slightly out since it wasn't ground. Only after I was sure about the base would I go after the top, checking my setup as I go along. Tolerances stck up (add up) so a couple of items being off by a few 0.0002" or so, plus some gapping, can add up to a couple of mils (thousandths of an inch). Basically, it boils down to how close do you want / need the final result to be, and how much careful attention to detail you are willing to spend to get there.

@bulletproofpepper2 Год назад

@wickedwotsit Год назад

Nice job as always 👍. I have watched loads of your videos and I really like you watch. Can I ask what watch it is ?

@n1knunya903 Год назад

Hi Adam, great video as per usual. Have you seen these fractal vices? It seems to me this tool would be in demand if someone was making them at a very high level of quality. Adam Savage recently showed one on his channel from China. I thought of your exacting practices with machining and you would be perfect to make one of these thing of the old patent and it make for some great videos.

@daveharriman2756 Год назад

Nice job, agree with the shimming to get it level with the existing surface, as you have to assume the compound is probably in line when installed on the owners lathe. cheers, Dave

@daveharriman2756 Год назад

@@SteveColluns-hm2xx Hi Steve, he actually accomplished what the owner wanted him to do. he fitted a multifix toolpost to the guy's compound. The run out is his problem, maybe the owner should have been notified as to the .003" error, but thats another point, cheers 🙂

@daveharriman2756 Год назад

@@SteveColluns-hm2xx Ok Steve, I'm a retired machine tool fitter, worked for 50 years, If this was my lathe, I would certainly have corrected that error by scraping or whatever. I agree, if I had this job to do, I would have contacted the owner and asked if he wanted it correcting before I proceeded. So I do get you, should have just fixed it to the surface of the compound as it was, now I've had a long think about it. I've only just seen this channel, it came up on my feed, so don't know of his historical work practices, cheers, Dave

@ronmurphy9819 Год назад

Perfect timing for me. I’m changing the tool post on my Grizzly to a better quick change. The T nut doesn’t fit, so I think that I have to make a new one. Do you think that I’m on the right track?

@CameronMcCreary 11 месяцев назад

Why wasn't the top of the compound, surface ground? I just subscribed with max bell. Very good fit on the tool post thread. Thanks for the machine work. Do you ever use thread gauges for checking the fits of precision threads? Otherwise, I will continue to view to see your work. I was a CNC machinist much of my life before retiring and I also had a toolroom shop at home where I did custom work. See you tomorrow.

@frfrpr Год назад

@Lisa_Turner Год назад

So what angle do you set the compound to before you pin the multifix tool post holder? 30 degrees for threading?

Your videos keep me captivated….thankyou👍🙂

@laurawerner Год назад

Nice video. I'm going to need to do that for a new lathe soon. What size Multifix tool post do you have on that PM 1660-TL lathe you used in the video? I'm about to order the 1640-TL, and it should take the same size. (Unfortunately, PM doesn't have the measurements I need in their manual or on the web site, and I'd like to order the toolpost when I order the lathe rather than waiting until I can measure it.)

@mxlje Год назад

This doesn’t require a thrust bearing like the bigger one on the pacemaker?

@wizardind3203 Год назад

should you put a 3/4" set screw in before milling the top if you turn the compound around to let the back jaw dominate as it does. the moving jaws likes to lift a little any way .you may not need a parallel on the movable side

Do you think the 0.003 was from the dovetail? Did you try tightening the dovetail wedge?

@halkuhns8070 Год назад

Not a machinist and never will be, too old, but I been watching machining for several years now, enthralled with the ability to be sooo accurate. Like others, not understanding the meaning of the .003 parallelism discrepancy. @chemech and @ydonl have plausible explanations I can appreciate.

@revolveperformance Год назад

@davidprovan2250 Год назад

Could the parallelism be affected by the gib not being fully seated? After all the drop shown on the indicator is on the same side as the gib on the topslide.

@brettbuck7362 Год назад

It should be square with the tapers in the gib, not the bottom surface of the cross-slide. I think Adam was probably right. I also note, it hardly makes any difference, because all it does when it is off is slightly change the tool angle

Why would you need to adjust the post? It has 40 positions you can use freely. The post itself never needs to be loosened ( I use Multifix on daily basis )
