amd<p>If you're into maker videos this Toolroom Takeover playlist from a bunch of YouTube machinist makers is great: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ISTNaXIkzC2s9OMVn2EnkT_c3g7JU9-" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ISTNaXIkzC2s9OMVn2EnkT_c3g7JU9-</a></p><p>Just about every video had a fun technique I hadn't done before or done in a different way than I expected and some of work is truly pretty exceptional.</p><p><a href="https://gts.amd.im/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://gts.amd.im/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a></p>
Tomáš Znamenáček<p>A wonderful video about designing and making an adjustable allen key <a href="https://boskovice.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://youtu.be/8IewMXUzt7U" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/8IewMXUzt7U</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Things! I made things!! I pair of custom D bit cutters. The top one is 88° and designed for deburring 90° holes. The lower one is 92° and is for milling mitre channels in brass. </p><p>They still need hardening, and sharpening, and in the case of the deburring one, gluing into the handle. </p><p>But I'm pleased with where I got them to today. </p><p>Finally actually achieved something in the workshop. Been stuck in such a rut recently. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakersHour</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>Whilst I've not been making much recently. I did reorganise my member box. I used to have one 35l XL really useful box with everything in it. I've now added a 9l box and put all my machining tools in there. For most projects I only need this box, and it's a lot easier to grab from the shelf and take to the machines. I may want to 3s print some organiser bits in there for the collets etc... too. But for now. It's a good quality of life improvement.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/ReallyUsefulBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReallyUsefulBox</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Win. Design works, once I took into account the taper. I have these Really Useful Boxes with a divider in the top. I wanted a good way to put things like end mills and taps in there without them getting disorganised. 15 mins with openscad, and 40 mins of printing later. A design that works. The one on the left was my first try, it doesn't fit in the space on the right, cos taper. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>
Paul Lalonde<p>My induction forge just gave up. Over current fault, done.<br>So I openned her up and found a smoking gun. Two wires off the current sensor were fused together and arcing/burning. These part of the current measurement, coming out of the coils threaded onto the main power feed to the transformer coil and going to the power PCB.<br>Separating them leads to a functioning system again.<br>But: why were these so hot? Thoughts before I wrap them in tape and close up?<br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/blacksmithing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blacksmithing</span></a></p>
Bo Morgan<p>This is my "robot box" as I tell my 3-year-old. Added acrylic side and top panels to my CNC aluminum router enclosure (in progress). Added french doors to the front.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cnc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cnc</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/aluminum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aluminum</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/routing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>routing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/machine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fosh</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homebusiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homebusiness</span></a></p>
Bo Morgan<p>Got the basic framing parts for the enclosure for my CNC aluminum router. It's 3' x 3' x 2' with a front door. It has an 1/8" aluminum floor. I'll need to cut it down a little to size. I have parts for a top door coming. Also, I'm thinking of splitting the front door into two sides for less leverage and less space required for opening.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cnc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cnc</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/aluminum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aluminum</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/routing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>routing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a></p>
Trevor Flowers<p>As someone who spent a few years becoming a CNC operator and programmer (after being a manual machinist) I saw firsthand that tool and die is a wasteland in the US. We fired ~all of the old hands or they died. We train very few new folks. Finding a shop owner who pays a living wage for tool and die work is dang hard, especially at entry level.<br><a href="https://youtu.be/3ZTGwcHQfLY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/3ZTGwcHQfLY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Very pleased my collets have arrived. Took the delivery company 4 goes to actually deliver them properly. But should make tomorrow's session in the workshop a lot easier as I don't have to change the whole tool holder just the collet. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>
Paul Lalonde<p>Also there was this neat gear hobbing machine (<a href="https://collections.arts-et-metiers.net/?queryId=4aa24804-610a-42ca-be07-1020a2fef082" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">collections.arts-et-metiers.ne</span><span class="invisible">t/?queryId=4aa24804-610a-42ca-be07-1020a2fef082</span></a>), set up to cut inside teeth on a ring gear. In front of it are the parts needed to cut outside teeth.<br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a></p>
Paul Lalonde<p>Getting to really pore over Vaucanson's lathe (<a href="https://collections.arts-et-metiers.net/?queryId=265e613a-0ea8-4bad-9a05-71545df07c13" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">collections.arts-et-metiers.ne</span><span class="invisible">t/?queryId=265e613a-0ea8-4bad-9a05-71545df07c13</span></a>) was a delight. The photos are terrible on account of the glass, but the adjustments are all easily understood. The carriage is fixed, but both centers can be adjusted to bring the work up to the cutting tool as square as need be.<br>The striking thing is how *big* this thing is. It's easily a 1.5m bed length. The frame elements are some 7-8cm (guessing, couldn't measure) in cross section. <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/lathe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lathe</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/metalwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>metalwork</span></a></p>
Isblagi goes brrrrrrrr<p>This was the proposed exercise. You can use any tool/insert but only by turning in the lathe. No mill. No cnc. There was also an 8.5mm flattened drill bit (no angle) you had to sharpen in a bench grinder.<br>Material was F212 steel 40mm round x 105.<br>You could take no longer than 45 minutes to make it.<br>What's your opinion?<br><a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/steel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>steel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/lathe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lathe</span></a> <br>2/2</p>
Isblagi goes brrrrrrrr<p>So, I'm attending as an examiner in the process to select new mechanical machining teachers for the public schools in València (Spain) and a part of the tests consists in machining a piece in the high school workshop.<br><a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/steel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>steel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/lathe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lathe</span></a> <br>1/2</p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Finally completed this project. Been working on it far far far far far far far too long. It's a bluing tray based on the design by clickspring. (Search YouTube for Clicksprings video for a better idea what it's for). </p><p>The cup is my first ever go at silver soldering, and it ain't pretty. But it's gonna spend it's life being shoved into a blow torch flame, so never would stay pretty. The handle is made of ash. With a brass ferrel. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodTurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WoodTurning</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>

cpresser<p>Anybody got an idea what type of collet this is?<br>Its from a high speed spindle that was found without documentation. Most likely sold by ISEL in Germany.</p><p>This one is for 3mm tools, I will would like to get one for 1/8" tools.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/machinists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>machinists</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Today in the metal machine shop I was using a little used alloy called B E E C H...
