Hey everyone, welcome back. This week's project is something a little different for the channel and myself. Join me as we dive headfirst into the world of machining, and we're tackling something super cool, Kant Twist Clamps. Hang around to see how they turned out.
Thanks for Watching!

Beautiful job; they came out great. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

Thanks very much. Appreciate the support 🙏🙏

@MarkEimer-s7i 3 месяца назад

They look really great! You got me wanting to make a couple of them.

@nomadhandcrafted 3 месяца назад

Hey man Thankyou! And why not! They are fun to make and handy to have around. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

Use a bolt hole circle calculator online, or there is usually a button on the dro that will also do a bolt hole circle.

I'm not sure about this case, but engine bearings have about 0.001" of oil clearance per 1" of pin diameter. So you could probably have gone tighter, but tighter tolerance is harder to produce, so 0.004" is probably fine.

What you are looking for is fits and limits. Machinery handbook has a good section on these

@nomadhandcrafted 3 месяца назад

I’m actually yet to get a copy, but it’s high on my list. I enjoy the struggle of feeling things out but I’m sure it would help get a lot closer a lot faster. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

@@nomadhandcrafted Machinery's Handbook is great but a better workshop option is the Engineers Black Book (Total Tools carries it in Oz) There is a few pages on fits and tolerances. Nice job on the clamps too 👍

@nomadhandcrafted 2 месяца назад

Ah that’s cool, Thankyou, slackness is literally the only reason I haven’t ordered a machinist handbook, but if there’s an excuse to go to total tools, I’m in 😂 and thanks mate, appreciate you checking it out 🙏

@czerstwy22 Месяц назад

I have a book with a lot of mechanical things, like tolerances and what kind of fit they make. Book don't tell you how particular fit "feel", this will come with practice, but are really helpful to have that kind of info on hand. Sadly for you it's in polish, so I haven't title for you 😅 Also, what are good and what not. I learn precious mindset from one artist (North of the Border), things that you made aren't only good, they are "good enough". It really help to learn, especially if you are perfectionist with OCD hunger that cannot be satisfied 😆

@nomadhandcrafted Месяц назад

The good enough thing is a problem for me 😂 but having a deadline of making videos helps you to accept things and move on the the next project 😂 thanks for checking it out!!

Great build man. Those are some pretty cool clamps.

@nomadhandcrafted 4 месяца назад

Thanks very much man 🙏

@ColCurtis 7 дней назад

You could also plunge cut instead of using the side of the end mill

@nomadhandcrafted 5 дней назад

I have learned a lot since this one, I would defiantly plunge and use the bolt pattern on the dro these days, but thanks for checking out the video!

Theas turned out very nice

@nomadhandcrafted 4 месяца назад

Hey man thankyou! I'm pretty chuffed with how they turned out!

@radientracing3628 2 месяца назад

for the jaws, why don't you drill a hole in through the brass then cut it in half? Just a thought

@nomadhandcrafted 2 месяца назад

That’s a fair point! If I was making any more than 2 clamps I would probably square the whole brass bar, then drill into it on the lathe, and then just slice off the individual pads, but everything seems easier in hindsight 😂 thanks for checking it out!

@billdoodson4232 2 месяца назад

Nice job. But I find the musak distracted from the whole.

@nomadhandcrafted 2 месяца назад

Thanks mate, balancing audio has been tricky for me, but I think I have it a fair bit better in all of my videos after that one, it’s hard to know exactly how it sounds on every device when produced. But thanks for the feedback 🙏

@DONJUILIO 4 месяца назад

Great video, I love the spirit just keep moving ahead no matter the problem at hand. Of course this does lead us to one very simple problem. Where is the shop tour? Mill, metal lathe, where the hell did this come from? Keep up the good work...

@nomadhandcrafted 4 месяца назад

Thanks man! Those machines have been there the whole time, I use the mill from time to time, but the lathe I’ve basically only ever used to make things “round” and it’s always been my intention to learn to use them properly, maybe we can get a shop tour at 1000 subs 😉😂 thanks mate, I appreciate you following along

@arthurstone9840 4 месяца назад

Dude , can you share the dimensions, I’d like to make some

@nomadhandcrafted 4 месяца назад

Yeah sure, is there anything specifically? I didn’t really do any proper drawings, but still have some measurements written down, if you give me a bit of a list I’ll get some together

@davidchavez81 4 месяца назад

Honestly, being an engineer would most likely make you worse at making those. Also, getting all into fits and tolerances can be educational, but testing it and seeing what you like is the best way to go in the end anyways.

@nomadhandcrafted 4 месяца назад

I completely agree. There is something different about simply figuring things out and seeing what works, and not being limited to what your "supposed" to do. Thanks for checking out the video, I really appreciate the feedback
