Saturday Night Special 134: Turning & Threading, Hackmaster Mag Back Indicator, Shaft Work 

I used your .75 / TPI in class the other day. thanks for the help. same threads by the way

I am from Michigan... I have seen a lot of machining on all levels. You can work metal.. respect bro.

Hi Adam, the gun oil is from Clements Firearms in Enid,OK. They have some videos up on RU-vid under the same name. Dustin and Jade are really great people. They have a machine shop called Pioneer Precision Machine also. I use that oil for a lot of my indicators and tooling at work. I've used it to drill and tap too. It doesn't get sticky when it's hot like some of the other oils. Glad you got the package and thank you for the videos

realy nice to see you operating the lathe. Thx for the multi angles shots.

Nice stuff. Caught me off guard... suddenly the chickens morphed into Brisket !! Man, I need to get one of those grills !!

Nice indicator back that the Hackmaster had there. The smokin' looked good. Nice job on the adjuster bolt.

Scott did one heck of a job building that indicator !!! I hope he is ready to sell them, he's gonna be busy !!! Great video Adam. Thanks for posting it !!!

Hey Adam, these videos are getting better and better man! Looks like you have reason to start working on some barbecue sauce! That brisket looked delicious! I wanted to say thanks man. You probably hear endless praise. I have honestly gained so much knowledge from you that it has taken my skills to a higher level. Thanks brother.

Awesome! My little job hit three of your big machines. So cool to see it in the Victor today and then the Do All that followed being in your families famous Monarch last week. The buffing - deburring wheel you have is sweet. Now I want one for my 8" grinder. Gotta find a supplier up here. Superb work as always. With all the smooth and shiny polishing you did, it'll improve the race car aerodynamics and make me faster to win! But yeah, we do bang these suckers up. That magnet base for the indicator is fantastic. Smart engineering by your buddy. By the way, Spanner is a English (British) term open and box end bolt and nut tools. It was the American's that came up with the term Wrench. Somehow, Canada got sucked up into the term Wrench - living next to the most powerful nation in the world may have something to do with it... But for our grandparents, often ex-pats from the United Kingdom, the term they used remained spanner. Thanks Adam!!!! Gotta go fire up my BBQ ....

That horizontal mill looks nice with your custom hanger.

Machining and smoked meat.....I live vicariously through you, Adam :)

Note to Brad Jacob: Always return borrowed items in the same or better condition then when you received it. ;-) That's what I was always told I should do.

That dial indicator is da BOMB!

That brisket flaked apart like a perfectly cooked piece of halibut. Well done you.

That brisket came out perfect!!!! A black bark like that = meat candy!!! Chris

love the dial indicator back.....will take 2 !!!

Great presentation. Believe you will find the 0.75/TPI formula only applies when using a threading tool with a flat on its end with a width of 1/8 pitch. When using a sharp vee (no flat) an additional 0.125/TPI must be added to the compound movement. Both are for the US National Form with a 30 deg. compound offset. In the case of your 18 TPI this amounts to 0.007 in. So, I use 0.875/TPI as I use sharp vee threading tool. Obviously this is more important for course threads. Of course one normally makes a test fit with a nut.

That brisket looked fantastic for your first try. Nice and tender and it looked nice and most too. I gotta get me a smoker...

I think you could safely travel over here to Texas with that Brisket, Adam...Good job! Thanks for sharing

I used to watch your channel telling myself “It’s cool to watch but I’ll never get into machinery, i like welding fine enough” and now i watch your channel taking notes as i work on pouring new concrete

As usual Top notch. That Hackmaster indicator was nice.

In the UK: Spanner = open end or ring spanner, or box spanner (made of a tube with flattened sides on the ends to fit the nuts) Wrench = generally an adjustable wrench (slip joint, F style, 'monkey' wrench / pipe wrench) Socket = The ends that go on a ratchet spanner :D

I really like the design of that dial indicator magnetic base! I'm going to make myself one ... Excellent design ...

I like the ring spanner that you have on the mill.

Adam, that bark lokked great. You are learning fast. R

Hey Adam, the video on the thread cutting on the lathe was super HD/4K on my iPad in Scotland. And yes, we tend to call 12 point wrenches spanners, but I guess it's just the different nomenclature bro. Really appreciate your efforts Adam. Please keep sharing? Being a veggie, not sure about the 'smokin' but that's your bad man. Keep posting young man. really appreciated. Joe.

That deburring wheel sure looks like it works well.

Good Saturday morning to you Adam. Great mix .

I really like seeing that heavy metal being turned! That and the brisket!

Meat and machining, nice combo. Thanks for sharing.

That brisket Adam, looked absolutely perfect, with a really great looking bark. So, whatcha smokin tomorrow? Love your SNS. Wow #134 time is flyin! Cheers.

Every time you cook something I get Hungary.

Ahh man! The smoke penetration on that brisket has me drooling and hungry; which is great but it's midnight...

Nice job Adam.

big yes for the shop life welder shirt

That indicator mag base would be badass with 3" travel indicator.

Hi Adam ! I like your videos. I'm not a professional machinist, so I have a a couple of question regarding tools you use at work. I can see at 32:00 on your video that there is your name on the tool holder. At work, are you asked to buy the tools you use ? Does the company give you an allowance to buy tools every year ? Do you invest out of your own pocket ? How about consumables (inserts) ? It would be nice if you could answer this question in a video, as I'm sure other people would be interested in hearing the answer. Thanks for your videos Adam, it is so nice to see you at work. Particularly I like how you try to get the most out of your machines. Take care ! Xavier

buen provecho amigo,despues del trabajo terminado,nada mejor que un buen festin,un saludo amigo.

just had supper but I got to and have snack after looking that barbecue

Hi Adam another great SNS. Not a machinist but own some Moore and Wright tool's good UK tools, I know not made in the USA but good gear. As a mechanic in Scotland our spanners and wrenches are the opposite to what you call them, I was always told a wrench was adjustable and a spanner was the right tool for the job. what ever gets the job done. All the best from bonnie Scotland

We used those scotch-bright wheels all the time at school, pricey but worth it.

Adam, Enjoyable as always. Just a note on the sound in this video. I don't really do this much, but this morning my family is away so I hooked up my notebook to my big TV and good sound system At around 15 and a half minutes when you were showing the threading from the tailstock of the lathe, my subwoofer started going a bit nuts. There's some kind of low frequency vibration coming through that I guess I'd never hear through computer speakers and it wouldn't surprise me too much if it's there in many videos. While I'm a bit of a low frequency nut in general, it wasn't really adding to the experience.

Helluva good looking brisket brother! I never tried smoking a brisket yet; on the to do list.

Adam, that is an awesome looking indicator back from The Hackmaster, should be very useful. I love seeing you make those chips fly! Great looking 'eats'! Thanks for another great SNS. ....13

Poor Brad, died to day, his friend thru him under the machinist bus, then backed over him again, he was loved by some of the machinist, but apparently not all. RIP.

Nice work. I REALLY love that crazaaayzee collet cheuck. I don't deal with anything larger than a dremel tool collet..which one broke today! D'oh!

Thanks Adam ,and have a good meal!!!!!! Cheers from france

That meat looks so good Machining was not to bad lol

Those Scotchbrite wheels can do great at smoothing the threads you just turned also.

I bought one of those deburing wheels and just love it, think I am going th order another one!

Thanks Adam, been hitting refresh!

check that dial indicator with the magnets carefully. (6:30 into the video.) If it has those strong rare earth magnets on it there is a chance that the magnetic field influences the measurement mechanism inside the indicator leading to misreadings.

another fine vid,dam that bbq looks great

I'm eyeballing that deburring wheel. Nice! I need one.

looks so tasty , The girls had to go to the fridge after this vid ! good work on that adjuster adam , Hope he does win with yur work on the car !!

your right on the wrenches and spanners :)

Awesome episode as usual Abom!!

Good stuff!

Gotta love smoking!!!

Yum man! Now I need to find me a snack.

Thanks again Adam, would you mind discussing how you calculate the correct measurements when you have to machine a hex on the shaft as you did in this episode. What determines the distance between flats for example. maybe an item for Shop Talk. I think I can smell that briskett from over the pond. regards.

Oh man.. that brisket looks amazing... God damn now I'm hungry lol

I missed the ABOM TORQUE, hope you will do that one again.

thanks Adam....

3m makes a similar deburring material used on a die grinder, works great for deburring tight spots.

Booth machine shirt would be cool, I'd be in for one.

As they say in the classics, "just like a bought one".

Adam, think the "welder shirt" would great, I for one would be in on it. Just a thought, maybe a long sleeve version might be a good offering also, since fall/winter is approaching.

Nice bark on that meat!

I thought the adjuster screw looked good and then I saw that brisket!!!!

"smoked chicken salad" that sounds like something I need right about now.

Looks great I just realized you did not get my email showing the sizes of the charcoal baskets that you need for your smoker. I will get that out to you tomorrow.

hi adam, i always very much appreciate your great attention to details and to the way the work feels and looks. would it be possible to scan your threads pitch and depth of cut cheat sheet? i'd say this might help many people allover. thanks for the video, -toly

Hey Adam, The shop life shirts look good, but I'm still hoping for a pocket tee version of your original shirt.

wow that made me hungry in a hurry....

You can always count on Mom to fix something that sounds as good as smoked chicken salad; MM MM, Greg.

Cause he's bad (bad), bad (bad) Brad bro man, roundin' bits when removin' thous. He's badder than a carbide insert, meaner than the old mill scale. (Sung to the tune of Jim Croce's Leroy Brown)

It's a ring spanner!

Man, is that brisket tender or what? I'm hungry now :D

Adam, I surprised you use a wood cutting board to cut cooked meat. Sucks the juices out man! Although from the looks of it that brisket had plenty to spare LOL. Man makin me hungry!

Thank you Adam. Again a very nice video. With all the threading action I want to ask you a question about multi start threads. Would it be hard to machine a multi start thread on a lathe?

that looks sooooo yummy!!

"toe"tally awesome!!

That Hackmaster indicator was a neat idea. What is the longest shaft you can turn on the Pacemaker? Your channel keeps making me hungry!

Yes, please put out the welder shirt again. I'd like one.

What is that deburring wheel? I want one!

Hi Adam, around 15:41, why is the threading dial jumping so much? I would have thought it was direct driven so it should be moving smoothly, or am I demonstrating my ignorance of how lathes work? Cheers from Australia, Scott.

I had to grind a hex on many aircraft part within+/- .0004 using your basic technique. Have to go slow. The outcome is what is important, not the speed in which it is done.

Well it has been three months has Scott started selling the Hackmasters yet? Adam thanks for the great video again

Adam, What grinding wheel do you have on the Millers Falls bench grinder? Thanks for another excellent show!

Question do you use a filtermto reduce the noice of your machines or are your machines all so silent.

Dinner at Adam's!

Here's an idea. How about a tee shirt that pays homage to all the "makers" on RU-vid that you have stickers for on your "wall of fame". Sort of the tee shirt analogy to a race car that has all those sponsor's logos on them. The tee would feature these stickers (art) on it like a collage. Make sure the tee has a pocket! :) You'd probably have to get permission from the people involved, but you could "bribe" them with a free/low-cost sample!!

Hey Adam, Nice video. Say do the jaws on a Kurt D675 not close up tight ?

+Abom79 Gday Adam, can you talk about the work piece holder that was holding the piece when you were on the milling machine. thanks, Marc

I have a question... would you change cnmg inserts used in the face mill and the RPM when changing from 4130 Steel to Aluminum? I understand that given how light these cuts are, that it's maybe not a big deal, but for a bigger cut, is that something you would then plan for the Op?

Adam another question for you--do you occasionally touch up an insert with a 600 grit or 1000 grit diamond hone ??I do it a little and it seems to work pretty good..You only need 2-3 strokes... .E

Adam, did you use the Aaron Franklin recipe for the brisket?

need to make sure you eat your Wheaties so you can A-Bom torque your parts lol

Abom, How does the cutter take the same path every time?
