(AD FREE) Part 1 - Making the KING of All Knurling Tools
Added 2023-01-05 15:00:03 +0000 UTCI'm ringing in the new year with a much needed knurling tool upgrade! A very kind Patron named Erik noticed my troubles with my current knurling setup and sent along one of those great Hemingway Kits to build and up my game. This will be the first of 2 parts, though at the going rate of this video it might take more π But I'm still optimistic. Thanks again, Erik!

2023-01-09 21:41:54 +0000 UTCThank you! haha I'm certain I will outgrow that box before too long (if this project is any indication). What size bin do you recommend π

2023-01-09 21:40:48 +0000 UTCI think you could manage with a 6" just fine but would just have to get a little creative with your mounting and fixturing. My 12" was actually a bit of a challenge in some cases just because of how far apart the t slots are. It's honestly overkill for most of my projects haha

2023-01-09 21:39:19 +0000 UTCI am looking to add a rotary table to my arsenal. If I were to tackle this project, what do you think the smallest rotary table is that I could get away with? Could I get by with a 6" diameter one? I have a Bridgeport clone, but not a ton of space to store the table when not in use. Keep up the good work!

2023-01-09 15:36:56 +0000 UTCI would like to see a comparison of the kit that Quinn did compared to the Hemingway kit.

2023-01-09 15:33:54 +0000 UTCReally well done, I particularly enjoyed your thoughtful fixturing. Now, as for your Box of Shame - since it is only a mere box, you are in a very good place; Iβm the proud owner of a bin (!) of shame !

2023-01-07 17:35:40 +0000 UTCThank you! I'm glad they can be more than just showing what NOT to do haha

2023-01-07 04:01:52 +0000 UTCI really like your videos especially since I'm a beginner Machinist and your videos are very educational

2023-01-06 15:12:55 +0000 UTCI know you canβt post any blueprints because this is a kit, but do you by chance have a link to where the plans are available?

2023-01-05 20:31:42 +0000 UTCSorry I was talking about swing. but a lot of calculations no mistakes
Ralph McCoy
2023-01-05 20:00:34 +0000 UTCyou might be able to buy the kit and scale down everything. though that's a lot of parts haha
Brandon Sander
2023-01-05 19:22:37 +0000 UTCπ all in due time!
Brandon Sander
2023-01-05 19:21:02 +0000 UTCAs long as we keep it smaller than a crate of shame I think we will be ok haha
Brandon Sander
2023-01-05 19:20:51 +0000 UTCThanks! The biggest problem with that was I have yet to get around to making the rest of the hardware I would have needed.

2023-01-05 19:15:14 +0000 UTCI love the vid as always but I am getting confused by one bit. Why make multiple temporary fixture plates when you have the fancy universal one? Isnβt it a waste of materials?
