SNS 306 Part 1: Okuma Tool Block Modifications 

I have suggested more than once that he should teach at a junior college, as he possesses the knowledge and temperament to do so,

😮

I'm just glad I didn't see it because you all sound like fools talking about this 🤣

Indicating makes it look like it's at the dentist. ROFL

I was thinking it looked excited

All I'm saying is 😮

I was going to say the same. Just waiting for the expression change when it's opened up for the tool holder.

That's just how its face looks. Its actually bored.

It's amusing how humans find human faces in inanimate things.

He's down a perfect balance of new school additions yet keeping the older methods relevant and just as good.

I consider that Monarch lathe restore series Mr. Rucker made, some of the best stuff I watched on RU-vid.

The_Hate_Inside I agree. I also like the plainer restoration except 6 episodes of scraping. I’ve been watching him for years and he’s put out some great content. It just seems there is more talking these days instead of machining or restoration.

🤣😘

This is my Grandfather's ball-peen hammer. I had to replace the head once, and it is on the second handle - but I still consider it Grand Dad's old hammer.

@Pete -More like modifying. Adam and others like him are where you go for things like this.

@2:20 Was just coming here to say that! 😮

I'm gonna have to copy that!

Assuming that the front and back face are parallel, perhaps.

@@vinny142 Abom's already assuming the bore is perpendicular to the face, so why not?

Uh, everything in **this** video was Imperial. The work on the mill will be to metric specs, but no doubt he will convert those to Imperial, since that is how his machines, mics, indicators and brains work.

Imperium strikes back 😀

@Cr0Lar Yeah, CNC is geared towards high production. When you do a lot of one-off's, manual is the way to go.

Depends what you’re doing, your budget, location. A Burke Millrite is a nice 3/4 size “hobby mill”, and can have a Bridgeport head swapped onto it.

Sebastien Bolle ....Here was my comment and description of what I do. I left this on the clutch repair video a couple days ago hoping to get a reply. Sorry it’s long, but I knew I would get a reply like yours at some point. Thank you. “Ok. I’ve been watching your videos now for quite some time and just cannot get enough. For a hobby (well and some money of course) I build forced induction race engines of all varieties, but mainly for snowmobiles, sideXsides and high performance sand cars (a lot of Subaru, Honda 3.5s and of course GM small blocks) right now. After seeing this video of the cool little parts I could be making to help me with that and a million other things, it is finally time to buy a mill. I do have a 48”x48” cnc 3 axis router that I use mainly to cut parts from flat carbon fiber sheets I produce, but have zero experience with mills or lathes. I don’t want to spend an absolute fortune on my first one, but money really isn’t an issue (would like to keep it under 50k ish for the first one). Definitely would like a manual mill (I’ve seen some that are both lathe and mill?), but can see that the auto feeds and DRO is a must Most of the pieces I would make would be smaller than 24” long and maybe 12-16” tall. I certainly have been doing my research and will continue to do so, but any direction or places to start looking would be greatly appreciated. I am very technical and mechanical savvy so I understand all of this, but really no experience on anything other than the router which I use solid works to design my work. Thank you in advance, I truly appreciate anyone’s input they may have and are kind enough to offer. Hate to hijack the comments, but I thought with the talent here it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Keep up the good work Adam! Thanks again!”

Sebastien Bolle....And if I have to spend 100k to get something I can “grow in to” then that is perfectly fine. I want some thing nice and that is quite capable, even though it is only my first one. Cost is really my least concern, but don’t need to overdo it just because. Thank you!

I’ve hit ‘pause’ on the DVR more times than I can count and said ‘what’s wrong with this picture’ for just exactly that! You’d think that the legal department at these cable TV channels would have something to say about it...

They aren't nicknamed "death wheels" for nothing!

Yes if you have a bull nose center it should be very close.

In this case he couldn't sit the piece on the face of the chuck because the key was preventing that.

@@aj7utu Exactly! And very quick.

@@jonka1 That's easily solved with a short piece of flat bar as a shim for the chuck jaw.

Whhhhat.
