(AD FREE) Making a VERSATILE Mini Pallet
Added 2022-12-08 15:00:07 +0000 UTCIn the ever expanding quest to have the right tool for every job, this build should hopefully cross off many items from that list. Here I'll make a mini pallet system that, in theory, should give numerous mounting options for different parts. Infinite, some might say!

Absolutely. Chris at Clickspring uses a very similar tool quite often. He did a video showing more detail on his fixture plate and hardware here. https://youtu.be/fyUPwMgfJwc

2023-02-01 03:53:38 +0000 UTCHi there. I am a newbie hobbie machinist. I really want to build this. But I don’t even know how to use it🤓. Do you have a link for one in use? Love the videos.

2023-01-11 00:58:38 +0000 UTCI think that could work as well as long as the profile is design right. By that I mean that the eccentricity isn't such that it can come loose.

2022-12-09 02:05:34 +0000 UTCNow that I think about it, the curved part of the fixture clamp could also be made into a cam right, It'll do the same thing but have a smaller contact area with the piece on the fixture incase you need more than 200 thou reach? I'm just curious if I'm thinking about this right.

2022-12-09 01:38:15 +0000 UTChaha Thanks, Erik! I think you are right about that too. I googled it and found a lot of "shell mills" that were either indexable or required a separate arbor. Never really found one like mine

2022-12-08 20:46:30 +0000 UTCI did and happen to have the same one on my lathe. I've made a habit of unplugging the machines anyway so not too big a deal for me

2022-12-08 20:27:15 +0000 UTCI don't know if you already purchased a VFD, but I would steer you away from the one you pictured in the video. I have a similar model that came with my mill when I bought it on Craigslist. The biggest annoyance for me is that the VFD is always on (fans running/display on) when it is plugged into the wall. To turn the VFD fully off, I have to flip the breaker.

2022-12-08 19:48:14 +0000 UTCThat finish though! My god. Exactly what I needed after a crap day at the real job haha. Funnily enough, I did a very similar job about a year ago, although a smaller version, and my one didn't turn out anywhere near as nice. P.S. - Pretty sure the endmill you used to suqare up the sides of the plate is technically a shell mill ;)

2022-12-08 19:02:19 +0000 UTCHis channel and work is truly something to aspire to. What will you be trying today?
Brandon Sander
2022-12-08 17:15:07 +0000 UTCChris/Clickspring is who got me into machining. Glad to hear you’re a fan. I always head to my shop after watching you videos to try what I’ve learned from you.

2022-12-08 16:33:37 +0000 UTCOh that's genius! I wish I'd have thought of that

2022-12-08 16:01:07 +0000 UTCAt the old company i worked at we made similar fixture plates, but we made them with every hole threaded m5 25mm deep and reamed the top 10mm to 6H7 for dowel pins
