We need a pair of V-blocks that are heavy duty and easy to setup so we’re going to make them! This has been a project on our list for a while because the standard cast iron V-blocks just aren’t handling the setup of larger and heavier jobs that we do on the milling machine. In this video we show the step-by-step process of turning high tensile steel plate into a pair of heavy duty parallel V-blocks. First, we need to do milling and face cutting to get our surfaces machined true. We then machine a slot and drill holes for key steel that will be used to align the v-blocks to the bed of the milling machine. We also drill and counterbore the holes that will be used to bolt the v-blocks onto the t-slots of the machine. These shop made V-blocks are not only heavy duty and solid but will save so much time in setups!
In this video we are using:
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine

@mickgrimes9078 Год назад

20-30 years ago to be a good machinist you went to school, and if you got really lucky you ended up working under an old greybeard who had been doing it for most of their life. you learn a lot of little tricks and practices they just dont/cant teach you in school. now adays we just come on youtube and watch masters at work and pick up those cool little tricks. it really is incredible.

So satisfying watching a good machinist do great work. I always appreciate seeing Kurtis take the time to break every sharp edge and corner, knowing that these parts will be put to good use and sharp edges / corners are nothing but a liability. I still have the scar on my wrist that reminds me frequently what happens when a machinist doesn't take the time to do this.

@demandred1957 Год назад

no magnets involved. There is a spring inside that keeps the pieces in retraction. the join line is a lapped flat surface, and whenever the nose piece is disturbed from flatness by being nudged over, it grabs and causes the piece to track over.

Hello Kurtis and Karen , Just had a whopper 70th birthday yesterday, 11/30... went to work at 1 am till 4 am, came home, went back to the shop 1 PM till 8 pm, got home and was too tired to even have a bite of the cake my wife made for me,,,,it was good, had some tonight, welding aluminum frames for RedBull displays I am building....over 300 37 mm [1.5 banana] welds in each.... verticals, flats and overheads, butts [with bevels for max penetration] and fillets...thank heavens for spool guns for aluminum. the first few were done with TIG that my boss wanted because it looks good, even though the flat welds get ground flush..... and then he decided the fillets needed grinding too......give me a break......but he is the one paying......6063 Square tubing 3.2 mm wall Looks like a good show tonight, I hope you all are doing great ...... Best Wishes from the other ' Sunshine State' , Paul the Old Weldor they are calling me now...... p.s. give Homeless a hug for me.......

my favourite bit 35:40 the realisation that the slot distances are not the same as each other :D

Just love it Kurtis when you make shop made tooling, always "go big or go home".

@purplerunner1715 Год назад

Love your attitude, of If I can't buy what I need, I'm gonna make it myself.

some of the best tools are shop made 👍

I had a bet with myself to see if Kurtis would face the bottom side sequentially or simetrically. I am glad that he did it simetrically... I got the OCD chills.

Thanks Kurtis for accidently giving me a great idea. As a handyman that needs to make a lot of precision cuts on different materials I've started using the metric system to measure and cut my materials. The best part is that it's incredible accurate and amazingly simpler to use than the imperial system. Thank You.

Hey mate, great to see our videos getting the ideas rolling! Cheers for watching! 😀👍

There are still 3 developing countries in the world using imperials. Libera, Myanmar and USA.

Love your videos. My friends think I’m nuts for watching a guy machining things for 40 minutes each week but that’s their loss. I have a question, what is it you say at the beginning of your videos? To my Canadian ear it sounds like “ hey young guys” but not sure.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering Год назад

Hey mate, most of our viewers think that's what i'm saying 😂 It's actually "how you going guys"

@Aragorn450 Год назад

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I've always heard "hey young guys" too but knew that wasn't right... Thanks for the translation! 😃

It’s all about shaving time off the jobs but still producing a quality job, these V blocks as you say are going make setting up quicker. Outtakes brilliant, the minute the camera gets pointed the sync between brain and speech just turns to mush😂
