For his new watchmaker's lathe, Adam has acquired an equally small 4-jaw chuck--a critical item for operating the lathe. For this chuck, Adam has to machine the smallest tool he's ever made for a One Day Build: a t-handle chuck key to tune and make it useful. A super precise and satisfying machining operation on his large lathe to make his smaller lathe work!

@GrayRaceCat 6 месяцев назад

You lay out your cut lines and sneak up on them slowly when machining. Never rush; in the best case, you will ruin a part; in the worst case, you will get injured. Check dimensions often. Check all measuring tools against Standards before beginning a job and often during the job. Make extra parts so you don't have to start over when one is bad. And finally, you accept that you are human and will make mistakes.

A really great alternative to 4 jaw chucks if you're doing small stuff is a 5C collet chuck WITH adjustable alignment - usually 4 bolts allowing the whole chuck to slide on it's backplate precisely, so you can zero the runout.

Abom79 has awesome videos where he explains how to use a four-jaw chuck. The videos are a couple of years old at this point, but still worth a watch if you are unsure about how to utilize your four-jaw chuck. But he also uses self centring chucks, because not everything NEEDS the four-jaw and it takes time to dial in a work piece in a four-jaw.

@thomasbecker9676 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, 4-jaws aren't really necessary if you're turning everything down without removing the part. I used to watch Abom religiously until a few years ago.

I was going to suggest Adam’s (Abom79’s) video on 4 jaw centring. He used a 4 jaw for almost everything until he was sponsored a 6 jaw self centring chuck. Unfortunately it is the success of a channel that brings the sponsorship deals which can wreck the channel for the dedicated viewers, very much a catch 22 situation. Recently Adam has gone back to doing more manual machining as well as some cnc work, getting a bit closer to the old format.

My old boss would give me into trouble if he saw a 3 jaw chuck on a machine. If the job was too small for the four jaw, make an aluminium tube with the I.d of the o.d of the part and cut a slot. Now it was larger it would fit. Old school things, including having to measure everything imperial when we are a metric nation. In the oil industry, it's probably 60% imperial drawings to metric in Scotland anyway, so his stubborn oldmanness was the best thing ever even though I hated it back then.

Love your videos! I might have missed you going over this in the past.. but until I worked on a manufacturing line years ago, I had no idea what, or how small a micron was. We had posters, showing one micron as a circle, inside a much larger circle as a comparison. The larger circle represented the size in microns of a single human hair or approximately 70 microns. I think other viewers might appreciate knowing just how small a micron is ;)

The chuck key is nice, good work. However, in the end; day to day. Get a #2 phillips screwdriver, cut the end off and grind the square drive on the remaining end. Much more useful with these small chucks. That's about the same size as the 4-jaw on my Unimat!

You should do a review on the Juki LU 563 sewing machine hook mechanism. The SPEED of the mechanism is so fast that an ungrounded head will build up a static charge in the hook. And even that static charge spinning at 3,000 RPM will create a magnetic pull sufficient to pull the sewing machine needle off course ! Followed by a heart breaking “snap” when the needle collides.

In the “switch room” at the phone company we had a plethora of oils and greases for the switches. I wonder where one could find out what kind of oil is necessary for different lubrication points? Some oils evaporate others polymerize. No polymerizing oils in extremely tight tolerance locations, don’t want to glue them together while sitting idle. In that teensy chuck tolerances look very tight.

@allangibson8494 4 месяца назад

WD-40 is specifically designed to leave a waxy water proof coating on what it is used on. (CRC-5.56 is similar). CRC 2.26 (electrical lubricant) leaves a light oil behind (similar to sewing machine oil). Most modern automotive oils are specifically designed to leave a persistent oil film (and in some cases a fluorocarbon film). Straight run oils don’t (but also provide worse startup wear and corrosion protection).

4 jaw chucks are ideal for accuracy. I don't know anyone who doesn'y use one. To really dial in a job in a 4 jaw chuck that you know the center of, that is to use a wiggler (didn't know of this until I was shown the use of it in a group on FB). A wiggler is a length of truely straight piano wire running through a brass sleave with a spring and collar setup mounted in a tool holder so that it extends along the bed from the work in the chuck and you can dial out the runout (wiggle) at the end of the wire.
