Monday Night Meatloaf 104

welcome back box tools I'm Tom so it looks like it's another meat loaf episode and I got some interesting stuff for you guys to see got some new machines in the shop I just came back from a trip from the East Coast I was back in Pennsylvania on business and shows some little teaser clips of some of the stuff that that I that I saw I'm gonna visited visited some other youtubers there while I was there and so I have some clips of that some of those will just be separate videos because it makes more sense to do that got some viewer mail and a few other things so let's get started let's have a look at this stuff alright this first one here it's a little hammer that comes to us from Doug Maxwell in he's in Arvada Colorado and he was cleaning out some stuff in his shop and he ran across this and decided to send it in so what Doug is he's had a mill and lathe for a little while and he was planning on putting them in the basement and has since changed his plan he's been inspired by the YouTube community to kind of get going and get a shop in shape and and get down to business so this looks like one of these oh yeah it's kind of a it's kind of a multi-tool here we got a okay keeps going here huh okay so we had a little screwdriver a little a little punch or a scribe or something there okay flat blade goes into that yeah this is a good little project if you wanted to make something and practice your threading and some other stuff there's another flat blade no Phillips on this one and this goes on here so if you wanted to practice your threading and knurling this might be a might be a good little project for somebody to do and we dug thank you very much for sending that by and good luck getting your shop set up send me some pictures when you when you get it together and and can show it to us thank you sir all right so this comes to us from a friend of mine Brad Niven and he actually teaches an engineering class a couple engineering classes at a local high school here and he went to to Thailand recently on vacation and anyway he brought this thing back for me and it's kind of crazy let's take a look at it it's a Russian multi-tool and it's I love the little logo on there it's actually pretty extensive here it even comes with sockets but this is one of those one of those multi tools that they they didn't know when to stop okay so it's got a little bit everything on it so obviously you see the hammer part and then it's got a pipe wrench okay and then here we got a quarter inch drive for four sockets okay and then let's open this up okay so then it's pliers all right we can ply with our pliers all right let's close that up and then it's got a variety of knives and pokers and slicers and sours and stuff like that so look at that one I didn't see that one a little serrated nightmare there anyway Brad thank you very much for for strolling that in your luggage and bringing it back that's a pretty crazy Russian multi-tool so thank you okay so you guys probably remember oh you remember a couple of weeks ago I was machining those long bronze keys and I was you know I was fussing around with stacking them together and whatnot what I really needed was some long soft jaws and I just didn't have any here okay so I went and I went ahead and bought some and these come too these come from a company called monster jaws and they're online and they sell a variety of a variety of jaws for Kurt vices and other kinds of Isis and and I I can't even buy the steel for what they sell you the whole job for okay made in the US okay these are steel they're 10 inch 10 inch long 2 inch high inch and a half wide I can't even buy the steel but what I bought the whole thing for here is get them out of the box and there they are they're counterbored they're they're milled all the way around okay even the ends okay and this would have made my life a lot easier on those on those keys because they'd only be sticking out a little bit on either in here which we could have tolerated so I mean it way check them out if you need soft jaws for for Kurt vices or any other vices check out Monster jaws online and they sell direct and they ship from California so check him out okay this next one's kind of interesting this comes to us from my friend Pete Ferguson and he's in well he's he lives in Canada but right over the border near Michigan so I can't remember what city lives in anyway he recently fired up his his surface grinder and then he wanted to do this this five block test right so what he did was he went ahead and did this five block test here okay and here's uh here's the pieces okay and peach pretty clever guy he's an engineer and so what he did was he drilled one hole to hole three all four whole five hole okay to you know to identify the position where each the little pucks came from and even knurled them and did the whole nine yards now I he made his life a little more difficult because this has more surface area to grind than this one so but he sent them to me and we're gonna we're going to spec them here probably not in this video because it'll take a little while to to check these properly here so we're gonna measure all the thicknesses here very accurately and see how see how Pete did okay now what he's done though is he's thrown out he's thrown the gauntlet down and if anybody wants to pur once to try the five block challenge on their grinder so when I measure these you know whatever numbers they get from that so he'll be you know quote-unquote the the king of the hill so to speak and then if somebody else wants to grind these and they're a little closer than then Pete's then they will become the quote-unquote king of the hill and then Pete's blocks will go out to somebody else or whatever and we'll just kind of keep this going a little while and see what happens so if you're interested don't put it in the don't put it in the youtube comments send me an email okay and send me a proper email all right and we'll get these out to you and you can grind them up and and send them back and then we'll do some measuring sono lapping allowed okay they gotta this be off the grinder and you know and we'll go from there so Pete that's a that's a good idea we're gonna we're gonna give you a we're gonna give you a try here and see what it is and we'll we'll measure these and see how you did so he's got his numbers and then we'll I'll figure out what my numbers are and then we'll go from there cool all right so this next one here comes to us from Wes Harper and I forgot what city he's in anyway Wes sent me this book and it's a pretty cool book it's from 1941 and the first interesting thing here is whoever bought this book it's cadet Edie notice as didn't know get anyway it's written with a fountain pen just looking at it here and nice handwriting 1941 anyway there's a couple interesting things in here we'll take a look at and it's got some really some kind of cool fold out the drawings to some large size so let's go to this first page oh so this is a cross-section of a valve and what was interesting is it that you know in a black-and-white book that they actually colored some of these things in here so which you know was a big deal back then so there's some of these images and sections are colored so this kind of cool alright so that's a flag that one okay so this one's kind of neat here what we have is a it's a screw pump right so it's a right hand left hand thread okay and so here's the drive that's the input so it's it's turning this shaft which turns the other shaft with a herringbone gear here okay and herringbone gears are kind of interesting we'll talk about that in just a sec and then these are these fit together pretty closely and what it does is it it's it sucks material from this area here brings it together and then forces it out of the discharge here okay now if you look at this here they've got here's the herringbone gears up here and so why would they use herringbone gears okay my guess is this thing is operating it fairly I don't know a fairly good speed there so if you used straight cut gears there they're gonna be noisy for one okay so gears with helical teeth operate smoother now as soon as you go to a helical gear here what happens is so if you take half of a herringbone there that's a helical gear set right and but when you have helical gears what it does is it introduces a thrust component because of the helix angle of the gear so the way herringbones get around that is they have two helix angles that intersect so they basically cancel the the the tendency due to thrust in one direction or the other okay so that's why they they use herringbones now you don't see them that that much anymore because they're kind of hard to make and in fact you can see a difference between this one here and that one there okay so this one here has it has a relief in the center here that little white line and which means that they can take a cutter and they can cut all the way through the tooth into this relief area into that little white relief area and these are kind of one piece and there's a very special machine that that shapes those teeth and you know I have a book that shows a picture of this machine is pretty crazy and how it shapes that whole teeth tooth without having a little relief area it's kind of neat so clever guy that thought of that mr. herringbone or whatever his name was anyway so that's kind of a scroop up there kind of interesting image there and then the last thing I wanted to show you it was one of these foldouts just how extensively unless and you start over here I think this is a pretty good-sized one here first thing with the wrong way right let's go pull that out pulls out like that and tear it so look at this thing it's massive so this is a I can't read it upside down here it's just some kind of turbine here with blades so it's a it's a compressor of some sort or a pump or whatever does it say here section of divided flow turbine okay so pretty cool I mean you know somebody sat there and drew this all by hand no SolidWorks no fusion 360 on the board so this is you know when guys that did this word were classically trained and they're almost artists so anyway pretty neat so West thank you very much for % in this book that's a cool book and I'm sure I'm sure ray D richard is probably worked on some of the stuff that they show in this thing so thank you very much Wes okay this is one of the latest additions to the the Ox tool shop here this is a monarch n ee lathe and I acquired this recently from a local company they were consolidating two companies together so I think they decided to get rid of some of the smaller machines and anyway this was one of them anyway I wasn't really looking for one but I looked at the tarp on this one and I went oh what do you want for that and it was one of those meals that you can't say no to now it's it's a pretty rough condition you know most everything is here there's a few pieces that are that are kind of missing but nothing too serious so it's a bit of a project to kind of bring it back this is a 1956 I couldn't remember and it has the Wyatt Drive which is the works in a drawer so it's got a - you know the tubes and whatnot and I think that was one of the reasons that they they kind of set it aside was they couldn't sort out the drive I happen to know a local guy here that's a pretty sharp on these drives and he's already come out once and we've taken a look at a couple of things and we're sorting through and I ordered some parts and we're gonna try again here in a in a few days so anyway I'll bring in a little closer I'll show you some of its some of its rough spots here and you guys can see the hamburgers that were that had actually used this machine so all right so this machine's actually set up for 3000 or 4000 rpm spindle speed which is kind of nice and that's one thing that I've been looking for is a lay that will do quite a bit rpm for doing a small collar work anyway here's the this is some of the rough stuff here the compounds really kind of been been hamburger here I don't know what the heck they were doing but they weren't being very careful about it so there's gonna be a bit of work and fixing that up you can see here they've chopped away at that and how they did this I'm not sure they must have been swung around this way and cutting angles on something that they could bump into that easily so I don't know I don't know how you do that what else so this machine came out of originally darn it I can't remember now um it's on it's on the the rear cover back here is a little tag I put it up on Instagram I just can't remember what it is but so if they have an original asset tag on it which is kind of neat and and then so I'm told that if you call monarch what's left of them they'll have a card on this machine and you can actually see who bought it originally what it was sold with originally and then if anybody else bought it later on and ordered parts for it they kind of record that too as well so anyway kind of neat in I've already done a little bit of paint scrape in here just to see you know what I could do and and then I'll waive repairing the drive or replacing the drive as I get into it a little bit deeper kind of exciting and shops pretty crowded right now because they get another machine to show you guys that kind of fell out of the sky into my lap and we'll take a look at that in just a minute okay so this is the other machine that just like I said fell out of this guy recently in my lab and this was a more directed attack here for me this came up on a sealed bid auction he'd been one I used to have one of these years ago and I ended up selling it to the company used to manage Pleasanton and been kicking myself ever since because these are just absolutely fantastic sauce here so if you're not familiar with the marbled side you should get familiar because they're really a nice machine and now this one's been outside for a little while it's got some rust on it but but no heavy pitting or anything you know everything is there and it needs some TLC and a little bit of a little bit of mechanical repair this is one of the lower blade guides here that the bearings were frozen up so I'm filling around with it to kind of bring it back so I'll show you what the basic operation of this is so that you can be familiar with it because this is a really this is liq setup here all right let's take out the four basic features of this thing here so the blades off of it right now but the blade runs much like a vertical bandsaw does okay and but what's what's different about this particular size is that the blade actually moves in relation to the work okay so we have something we have something to cut here it stays position and it's it's fixed okay and the whole carriage moves in like so okay and cuts through the part okay so what's what's kind of neat about these is you can set them up near a stock rack and this is a straight path into the stock rack or whatever and you don't have to scoot the saw around you know depending on size or whatever right there kind of neat that way so for cutting miters and whatnot you don't have to move the vise you move the head on this particular machine so let's see so the head tips it tips this way up to 45 degrees they're actually a little bit passed and it also tips the other way which makes it super handy so now you only have to you don't have to cut from two directions on the saw you can do all your cuts with the stock in the vise on one side you can get additional vices or you can flip the vise on this side if you want or you can clamp in T slots here as well kind of neat capacity wise you can cut 18 inches tall okay and you can cut 18 inches in this direction here okay this thing will come all the way forward and cut 18 inches in this direction so theoretically you could cut an 18 by 18 square block in this not cooperating back there so it also has some stops on the other side which it kind of needs so you can stop the blade so you can cut a notch out of the piece if you want or do things like that and it'll run all by itself so multiple speeds you know the usual stuff so but it's just a very very nice setup for fabricating and machine shops and things like that so nice addition to the shop all right so this is worth mentioning too so this is the this is the feed mechanism so as I rotate this wheel this way you know you can hand-feed if you want okay but you can also power feed to and the way the power feed works is pretty clever it's got a a shaft that runs through here excuse me and there's a little friction disk near the back that collects power from the motor and drives against basically a clutch right well we can vary the amount of feed pressure okay by sliding this weight and that's maximum feed pressure and this is minimum feed pressure here okay now what we do is there's a little lever over here that engages there's a worm gear that engages this okay and then drives this drives the the carriage forward okay and it's just it's dog simple and the friction material that's on the on the clutch is a bunch of corks and you plug these corks in there and then you send them off so they're all at the same in the same plane and clean the disc in and off you go real simple to maintain and everything anyway this is the slightly way to vary the pressure so they still use this the similar a very similar system even on the new ones at least this is this is an old Round Top and the new ones have a square top so that's where the kind of the name comes from anyway web template alright guys I hope you liked that meat loaf episode what's next is some clips from my trip to Pennsylvania I visited some youtubers out there and we'll check out some some sites that I saw and some of the neat things that I did so also I just wanted to mention that the KABC discount code is still good so there's a link in the description that tells how to activate the 15% discount code I think it's good for another month or two something like that anyway if you're thinking about buying something check out KBC and there's a little discount code 15% off so anyway check out these clips and catch you next time all right we're in Bethlehem Pennsylvania and I have a little free time in my hand so I decided to check out some of the steelmaking stuff that's still kind of around the historical things and where we are right now is they call it the SteelStacks and what this is is the the blast furnaces for the the steelmaking and apparently they decided they didn't want to take them down maybe it's too expensive or whatnot but it's pretty impressive so let's take a look at it we're gonna see what we can snoop around and see what we can find so check it out I'm looking from the fence inward but just the sheer size of this thing is just incredible I mean this is a machine here this is this kind of one corner of walking along and I found a couple of gears look at those herringbones yeah Adam can you fix the chef for me all right so we're the Moses Glick scrapyard somebody told me about this and Alex current told me about this so we're gonna have a look around and and see what kind of cool stuff these guys have squirreled away here so check it out right so we're here at Lehigh University and this is the Fritz engineering laboratory and at one time this building has the largest tensile and compression testing machines in the United States now I'm not sure where the the largest ones are now but we're gonna get a look I think it a couple of pretty good-sized ones here so let's let's go commando here and go snoop in here and see what we can figure out a little baby one right there that's a small one a little pencil compression tester there it looks like a tiny soul sin there so take a look around physics departments are always a good one to go looking for shops in see we can find it here invariably they're in the basement oh it's looking good stage 1 this looks like ceramics or Oh glass probably glassblowing that's what it looks like
