(AD FREE) Making a PRECISION Machinist Jack

Back to the regularly scheduled programming of making machinist tools, I'm tackling an old favorite. The machinist jack. The concept comes from a very generous viewer who allowed me share his idea on the channel. And it was a perfect match for my current lack of machinist jacks, but also for my normal over-complicated style. But it's not all for nothing. From what I can tell this is a revolutionary design. So join me as I bring this new idea to life!


Enjoy!

All mill operations are still needed... but the rest of the milling shouldn't take to much time to do...

Chris Williams

Brandon Sander

Finished the lathe work on my first one... now for a good side project... like the saw arbor cause my school doesn't have one lol...

Never occurred to me to check if you had Patreon. So happy to help out for great content!!!

Steven Bierlink

His name is Art McKay. I think he's just a nice guy who used to be a machinist. No internet presence or portfolio.

Brandon Sander

Art who? I was wanting to look at some of his other work

It's pretty clever! I actually got a suggestion from someone to try it by indexing your chuck (If it's a D1 camlock), or by indexing you change gears. Lets you keep the compound at the preferred 60 degrees.

Brandon Sander

I've never attempted multi start threads before but this might be a good excuse! Love the "hack" of doing it with the compound set sideways and using straight infeed. I kind of want to make some interchangeable anvils out of brass for more delicate workpieces.

Thanks! Yup its a Steadtler 2mm lead holder. The sharpener is a vintage Dietzgen abrasive lead pointer.
