SNS 237: VW Spindle Mod, Cle-Line Drills, ZTFab Rod Guards

[Music] hey guys welcome back to the shop for another week of Saturday night special so I got a lot of stuff to share with you this week and we're gonna we're going to go ahead and get back on our project for the Duckman cycles VW at the project there and we're gonna we're gonna get on to the spindles I had to do some modifications to the spindles get them set up in the middle of machine over there do some drilling and tap in and all that fun stuff so I'm gonna share that with you and next week we'll finish out the footage of that project I got to do some monitors to the rotors and the hubs and then we'll put it all together and see how it looks fully assembled okay I might have a couple other things to share with you this week we'll see how the time goes but we are going to do another Machinery's handbook giveaway I got one right here to share with you and I've also got some I bought some new drill bits from KBC tools and they were on sale and I wanted to get these drill bits to finish out a set that I had started for one of my classic drill indexes over here so we're gonna get in that I thought I'd share that with you don't forget you could get a discount over at ABC tools if you mention Avon 79 or you can use it promo code KBC 25 a B if you want to go there make you a purchase of $100 or more alright and while we're mincing at KBC they had sent a box full of hats and t-shirts I got their t-shirts right here they're all metal all the time t-shirt I got a couple of these myself that I wear and they've also got a couple of tool kits and then they got the stainless steel thermoses right here you can put your your drink in but they sent this stuff as just little additional items and kicker's that I can give away to the viewers who win these Machinery's handbook so very very nice of kvc tools for them to send this stuff in thank you very much and I'll be sure to add some of these things to the boxes for the Machinery's handbook and there's still quite a few to give away I've been constantly receiving a few in the mail every week so I've still got a pretty good stack in there of them to to giveaway so I think this is going to be continuing on for several weeks okay so trying to member what else I was going to tell you about oh the I've had it some guys asking about the ket electric motor so as you can see I still got the shaft sitting right there alright that is the material that I bought to make that shaft and that's coming up on the list pretty soon I wanted to have that done already but what I've been doing it's been in my time on the fireball tools welding fixture the cast iron fixture plates that I'm modifying for machine use and I've been trying to get that done I'm just about finished with it now I wanted to have it done for the upcoming fabtech I want to take it with me because Jason's gonna be there at JD's Meetup and I wanted to build a how about there for him and all the guys to build a see you know so trying to get that finished up and we're gonna have that I want to try to have that footage released by the fabtech week anyway okay so that's coming up the first week of November it's November 6th 7th and 8th and we're gonna be having the shop meet up there that YouTube meetup meet-and-greet at JD Brewers shop there in Douglasville Georgia the day before the event all right and then don't forget we're going over to Texas for the good of the land fest November the 17th we'll be over there for that as well really looking forward to those events having a little bit of time off of work getting away meet some friends meeting some meetings of viewers and see a lot of cool stuff I'm really excited about that so I wanted to go ahead and and get to our Machinery's handbook giveaway and tell you about these books right here I've already got a winner picked and we'll get to that in a second and I just want to tell you about these books so we have a Machinery's handbook guide and we have a Machinery's handbook 22nd edition so how this come about is I had a viewer that I cannot find that the name of the viewer sent me this book I apologize but one of my viewers found this user guide online somewhere bought it and had it shipped to me so there wasn't a name and a return address for it so I didn't want to have just this to give away you know of course I got other books but I wanted a handbook to match this one right here so I jumped on eBay and I found a 20 second edition she news handbook and I bought it so this one's donated by Adam booth from booth machine shop right here alrighty it's in good shape it's got the protector on there so you can see the book itself is in good condition and this is this is the Edition that I have as well this is one that that came in a cool box that I bought years ago from a retired machinist and it had this 22nd edition in there so we got these we're gonna give away I've already got a name picked so we we use our random number generator as I did as I always do so we've got a total of 909 entries now into the Machinery's handbook giveaway alright and I've got a picture there so you can see what that total is there believe it was 914 and the email list that list just keeps on growing so we go over to our random number generator and we enter those figures in and it picked the number of 482 so congratulations to Ralph done a cliff and he is from where yalda Australia we have a winner all the way from Down Under and very cool congratulations Ralph you're gonna be the winner of this 22nd edition and hopefully you're gonna really enjoy that that's pretty cool we got our first overseas winner nom I'm sorry I take that back we did have another overseas winner but definitely the first one from Australia that won the Machinery's handbook so Ralph his his two questions he answered him there the first one is what what is his favorite content and he says SNS is my favorite part of the week so Ralph's is especially going to enjoy this episode and then content he would like to see more of and he replied he's really been enjoying the shop tour videos very cool I always like hearing about that because I really enjoyed doing the shop tour videos myself it was a lot of fun we were able to visit several people because we did that two-week road trip you know so once you're out on the road you can find some next year I'm really hoping to be able to do more of those I want to try to reach out to more people whether it be businesses of operation or it be private shops whatever I'd really like to get out there and do some more shop tour so I'm hoping there's going to be more of that in the future of this channel here alright so Ralph congratulations on the win I'll be sure getting these things boxed up and get coming to you I will be giving you the sticker kit I don't know where my sticker kit went but I'm gonna give you some a-bomb stickers and will give you a t-shirt KBC hat a tool toolkit and the vacuum flask all from KBC tools there all right very cool I noticed in the KBC sales flyer they had some drill bits on sale and I went ahead and picked up one of each size it was it's a full set up to half inch for this drill index right here my cleveland twist drill these this is the set that i've been I had bought a few of the screw machine length drills in the past and just had you know the gold colored ones and since they had this set on sale I went ahead and just bought a full set to replace those and I'm gonna fill this drill index up with all of these new drills from KB Seton and these are the CLE line made in USA and I'll show you in the catalog right here right here the CLE line screw machine drills on sale so they got them from 1/16 all the way up to half-inch so I just told them I said send me one of each one of them there and I have a full set for my drill index there's the there's the sale flyer right there pretty excited about that I'm getting this getting this filled up I've already got two of them that's been put in use they're over on the the fixture plate I use this one right here to drill all of the drill and tap all of the half 13 holes there so I was the 27 64 and that one went right right there and then we've got your 1364 these are some precision holes these drills fit in man so this is the drill that I used to drill all of the tap holes for the quarter 20s in the fixture plate and it still just like new so these are good quality drill bits and I'd recommend them I wanted to show you the completed index that's all of the new CLE line drills that I just got and that beautiful Cleveland twist drill index right there it's been a while wanting to see this thing filled up and I finally got the set that I wanted in there I love these drills and so far the first two that I've used have worked really good so know that one of my index is completed there and I got another one here I was going to share with you it's another cleveland drill index i just recently got this was given to me by a couple of my viewers Josh and Lisa they stopped by and visited me there they were driving through town on vacation down here on the Gulf Coast and he said he had this and wanted to a hand it to me in person so they stop by and see me so Josh Lisa thank you very much another cool Cleveland twist drill index the finish on it is interesting because it's darker than the other ones that I've got let me pull this other one the honor so this is the other the other index that I've already shown you before and it's it's aluminum but it looks like it's either been blasted or cleaned or something and that's just how I got it just like that but you can see it's got a darker finish to it than this one here but it's also got what looks like copper plating in there here you can kind of see it on the logo there for the Cleveland logo and it reminds me of it looks like this one here so it might have been done this way originally where it's got the black in the background and then you know it was copper plated I believe that's how this thing was made it was plated you can really see the plating there on the bottom so that's how I think this one was done it had originally a copper plating on it that has apparently been worn off over two years or it's been clean and polished by somebody and but it's good just the way it is I'm just gonna leave it just like that so there you go got a cool new shipment of tools in the day there's some stuff that I had ordered from Paul Brinegar over at Z T fab he he sells these rod guards and he's got him in a bunch of different colors now I don't know like six or eight different colors and I've been walking to get some more of these because I've got two of the TIG rod TIG rod holder racks and I've got two additional racks that hold these as well so I wanted to get some for those and build a start store and some of my TIG rods more of my welding rods integrals so what I did is I picked up six of these also in the in the black color these are going to be four electrodes you know stick welding rods so I got I got some of those and then I got six more of these in the red just wanted to kind of mix it up the first ones I got were blue and I just kind of went with red because I like I like red so anyway I just want to share that so make sure that if you if you want some of these picked some up from ZT fab he offers them and for Pat deals where I think you get a discount if you bought four of them he's also got a rack now where you can buy a rack that holds these and I believe four of them you know at a discounted price so check them out over there at ZT fab I'll share the link down in the video description so you can so you can look at them and pick you some up for yourself all right thanks a lot Paul so here's the electrode holders right there I've been getting some of my more fancy and expensive or every or more normal use rods in these which I've got some stainless I got my one ten eighteen they're our nickel rods right here I got a couple different nickle rods in here we've also got these right here somebody gave me called Noma caste non machinable nickel and then we've got our are there nickel rods in there and by the way you can use these also for TIG welding you can pick you up some nickel rods like in a small package and break all the flux off clean it off and use that for TIG welding as well so all of these containers have this neoprene seal in there so it helps protect them from moisture and things like that this one's one that I had already had for awhile it's got three thirty-seconds 7018 so the lincoln Excalibur in there so I got one extra that I haven't used yet because I haven't decided what I'm gonna put in there these are some 316l lincoln Blue Max I also got some one at 3:09 1/8 there so these these tubes right here are good for these 10-pound containers so if you if you pick up one of these 10-pound cans that's what that's what these will hold is up to ten pounds to keep that in mind they'll keep them protected if you don't have an oven like like me I've just got my welding cabinet here that we've always kept them in and I've got a lot of rods in there still left over from the old shop because we used to buy them in the 50 pound cans and so I've just got those in there and I've got some sixty 1160 1360 tens just huge boxes I got a big box at 70 24 still in the cardboard box 70 24 is they're all they're all still good rods there's nothing wrong with them I wanted to collect a few of these and start protecting some of my more expensive and more normal use rods and help prolong their their life here in the shop so really liking these things and I'm gonna enjoy having those for some rod organization so there's another overview of the the TIG rod holders there and also the the racks that Paul makes they're ZT fab this is the ones that I had and I'm filled up this rack and I got two more over there on the Welding cart and what this will allow is to be able to separate all the rods now by not only the alloy but also the diameter because you got usually got different diameter rods and different grades of like different grades of aluminum and stainless and steel and also silicon bronze and aluminum bronze things like that so just really helping to get the shop organized and and be a little bit more pro about it there's a couple more on the back of the ZT fab welding cart this bracket comes like this with the holes already in there so that you can just store you four of these TIG rod tubes on the back of the cart right there very cool alright guys we're getting back on these brake parts here this is the the Porsche brakes being converted over to the Volkswagen spindles there so we're getting to the part where we're having to do some modifications to the spindle so that these calipers will bolt on there and what Glen had told me that people do is this whole location right here on the caliper and I'll take I'll slide this back you can see there's a tapped hole right here supposedly people drill and tap that hole location for this boss to build a bolt in here and then once you get to this side here there's not enough material there I mean there's actually no metal at all right there I mean once you get it on there and you push this caliper all the way up against the diameter of the rotor you can see the metal in the hole but there's really not a lot there so what I'm envisioning happening here is we can probably set this spindle up drill and tap this hole so that this we can get this bolted in and then once we get that bolted on we got to get it kind of lined up right I should be able to locate where this hole location is you know get it located true with the spindle of the machine and maybe come through there with an end mill and cut this section out with an end mill so that you have a round radius right there and then we can just basically take a piece of round stock and make another boss like you would see right here alright and then V this out both sides stick that round piece of material and in TIG welding on both sides real good and then that will be the boss that is drilled and tapped for this area right here to tap into that's that's kind of what I'm visualizing happening right there and the reason why I see it happening like that is because it would be a little bit easier to find the center of this location right here using the caliper and where that needs to be versus just taking some metal and trying to shape it right here and welding it on and then getting into the split line between the piece of material and the caliper so I think I'd like to cut this out with an end mill and make an actual boss just like these two right there now I'm personally seeing some fitment issues with this as well and I've been I sent Glenn a text and told him that I think you're gonna have a little bit more work here than what he originally thought if you look I don't know maybe you can see this one right here but let's see if I can get you all right we'll use this one so that's pushed all the way on there right there where it really needs to line up with this hole right but if you look right here this the OD of this of this brake disc is up against the inside of this caliper which is no good you can't run it like that because then you'll just be rubbing causing friction and burning stuff up I think that because of where this calipers having to bolt onto this diameter of this disc right here is going to have to be reduced a little bit so that you have clearance in there I don't think that's going to be an issue and that's what I'm kind of confirming with Glenn I want to make sure that I don't do something that is going to upset him but that's the only way I see this working is turning this down it's not going to take a whole lot I'm thinking maybe a quarter of an inch OD possibly up up to maybe 5/16 off of the OD of the rotor so there's a hole right here that you can see you know they got these these cooling holes through here and whenever I take my scale and kind of measure from the OD to the edge of that hole you I'm getting about a quarter inch right here so we can probably take about three sixteenths per side and I'm hoping that will give enough clearance inside of here just so that I'm not cutting into this hole and obviously you don't want to take any more off of this that you want to there that means to be okay okay I'm playing with the setup here and I was originally gonna use my super spacer but I figured out real quick that delmas going to be kind of a bad choice just because holding in this position with the spacer this is the hole I need to drill in tap and it would be really hard to get in here with this piece of the spindle in the way so if we flip it over this way it gives us a lot easier access to get to this hole and get over here and do our milling so I'm gonna use this small angle plate right here and this right here is a machined area I'm gonna clean this paint off of it right there but we can use this angle plate and mount it right there on this angle plate and I've got it kind of positioned about where it needs to be and to give it some additional rigidity and support so it doesn't move around on me this arm right here okay what it's sitting right about where it needs to be I can take another small angle plate over here and we'll get this clamped up in this slot on this angle plate like so and we can take this single plate over here on this side and just clamp it to it and then hold this down and that will give it a nice two-point contact there to hold everything where it needs to be so we'll just use this slot right here and use a 1/2 inch stud and get that clamped in so I'll bring you back when it's all tightened up all right that should be pretty square hot to get in here tighten it up and I'm assuming that's gonna be a machine surface let me get a level on them see how level that is so pretty good right there the very first day of the year or this fall anyway that we've got beautiful weather so I can open up the door and don't have to run my AC for comfort and there's been siren after siren this morning man for those that don't know I live right on a busy highway major thoroughfare for ambulances fire trucks and first responders so that's why you hear a lot of sirens in mind in my videos that's looking pretty good right there so now we can take this guy right over here I've already got a stud they're ready for it but I'll take one of my heavy-duty C clamps and we'll clamp it there and then tighten it down right there all right so for that support we're gonna use my little heavy-duty C clamp I mean you guys see me just talk about these in my SNS video an episode of tube back this is one of the new ones I just got it's a proto 2 HD and I've got this small angle plate right here that's going to fit up on this machined surface just perfectly I've got that angle plate where I could pivot around I need a little bit more room and plant this on just like this go ahead and get this one tighten back up the main angle plate there's that and now we just need to clamp this one down I got another hold down all right there we go we should have a nice nice rigid set up to easily build a drill and tap this one and I think we can fit the caliper on here and see where we need to Center up that and then go through here without nml and cut that little radius section out all right so I've got the first hole location here lined up with a drill bit we're dead in the middle of that we're going to go ahead and get this thing drilled in tap so I'm using one of my metric drill bits this is a ten point five millimeter and again we're going to be tapping it to 12 by 1.5 cuts a little chamfer here I'm not gonna be able to use one of my straight tap breeches just because the spindle shaft in the way so I've got my good t-handle right here and a spring-loaded center mounted into the collet there for for height purposes they're just using some regular dark cutting oil just hand tap this hole not the best tap we've had this one a long time that's actually my only tap that's that size what it's doing is it's cutting it need to get my goodbyes here so I can do a little cleaning there's our bolts all righty one down all right I've got this set up so that I can get this caliper bolted on here like so all right so we're gonna go ahead and get it mounted and we're gonna find that other hole location where it needs to go I'm gonna tighten this down and then we're gonna find the center of the hole and so where this is going to be positioned at because you see you can pivot it right there on that bolt now but if you see this boss right here the original other hole location whenever this is on when it's all assembled the whole thing we've got it so that this this this raised boss right there is just before where it starts bumping into those brake shoes in there the brake pads I mean so and also when you look down through this hole you can just barely see the edge of the spindle housing right here so I'm gonna line it up like that so that the edge of this hole is right in line with the edge of this and that should be that should work out fine that's how it is on both of them and it'll be good so then once we once we have our material welded in place right here then we'll put this back in here and then we'll line it up where it needs to be I mean we'll bolt it all together and then we'll we'll use a transfer punch to punch this location for the spindle housing or where it's going to be drilled and tapped all right I'm going to just get this I got to move the camera and get this position where it needs to be and then we'll go ahead and line up this look I'm using my blade coax to find the center of this hole right there and I think that's gonna be close enough right there it's wiggling about and not even a not even a half a line all right we're gonna set our digital readout zero zero and get the table locked in nice and firm they're all ready so now we have our Center location we're going to take all this off we're going to use a one inch in mil because that's about the diameter of what this little machine bosses on the caliper and then we'll machine that radius in here and then we'll make a plug to weld in there I'm going to start with a seven a 10 mil that's a roughing in millet in there but we're gonna use that we're just going to plunge that radius cut down and then I'm going to go in there with this one inch in mill and do it with that when I'm just trying to step it up so I'm not taking the full cut at one time I'm going to lock the spindle there the quill I'm going to use the knee and I'm gonna feed up trying to take it easy so I don't have anything shift on me I don't know if you guys can hear it but I've got a spite mower outside first nice weekend the fall weather you can open the door and the windows and then you got people mowing the grass outside as soon as you turn the camera on okay already went down let's go ahead put the one-inch in there and then we'll finish it out [Laughter] I'm gonna step it up as speed I did touch up the corner this is a this is a used end mill you could tell the edge is a bender well you so I just touch the corners made like a 45 on the corners of it to sharpen it up it still cut pretty good here we go this is an angle mill that I have that will side mill a 45 degree angle I'm gonna attempt to cut a little bit of the weld prep on this side at least with this cutter right here the bottom side I'll have to just do by hand I'll just use a carbide burr and just grind that out but I thought I'd try this so what I'm gonna do is bring it down just till it touches there so looks like it should be touching on all the all the flutes right there and what I hear is that the speed the table over into it a little bit of the time I gotten to 0 set we'll have we'll have weld on top and bottom and then I'll put a well being on each side of that as well so it should have pretty good pretty good holding power I'm going to go ahead and break this one down and I'll go ahead and get the other side set up because it's going to be a reverse wat to flip this around the other way and get it I want to go ahead and get it milled drilled and tap mill just like this and then and then get all that done that way we can go ahead and get the plugs welded on there and then we'll have to come back to the setup to do our final drill and then tapping so I'll bring you back and show you some more of the machining on the second spindle [Applause] all right if that when drilling taps and now we'll bolt the caliper on here and get our hole location figured out it looks good we'll get it zeroed out right there lock our table and then make our cut [Applause] this is some 1 inch cold roll we're going to use to make the little weld plugs and what I'll do is I'm going to chamfer the the ends I'm going to facing chamfer and lathe and then we'll go to the bandsaw and you cut it off so I'm going to clean the ends up with a face cut and then we'll chamfer now I'll have to come back to the lathe and a chamfer the back side of them wants to cut them off there [Applause] I like that [Music] okay just getting everything set up for welding just giving you a little closer shot of what this looks like we've got a piece of flat bar clamped across the back right there and it's got this piece about even with that so there's going to end up being a spacer made for this mount location right here and that's because I'm making this purposely even with this side of the the casting right there because that's about where the caliper needs to be it was going to have to be positioned properly on the rotor so it can't mount straight to this location right here because it'd be too far down that way so having it mounting on this base right here should put it about where it needs to be and then want to put us a spacer right in here to kind of take up that space for this this height right there that's different but anyway we got it clamped in there now I'll get it tacked off real good we'll go ahead and run you know a good bead around this side right there we'll get them over on the sides and weld the other side there as well [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right guys we got both of them welded up pretty happy with the results on this life of cool Dressen just a little bit laughs yes and once they cool down we'll go back to the mill machine start getting our last holes drilled tapped in there oK we've got the first one mounted back up in the fixture here got a leveled out clamped in and I've got this caliper bolted on there where I want and I think what I'll do is indicate this hole just like I did before instead of punching it I've got it centered over the the weld on boss right there I've got plenty of clearance on this the center lug that's not being used it's not up against the rotor and it should have plenty of clearance out here once you flip this around to the inside where this thing actually bolt into I'm gonna line this up with the coaxial and drill and tap it just getting this hole location zeroed out on the all right that's gonna be close enough right there that's where we're gonna drill in tap like it's lino right in the center where I wanted it there I'm just spotting it in this is our ten and a half millimeter drill bit [Music] all right so I haven't got through the second one yeah this is the first one and we've got it bolted in there and it's looking like it's going to work out pretty good and you can see this hole location here this is realm I got to make a spacer for that so I'll have to measure that out and then make a little spacer I've just got it snugged up against the boss that I welded on there and that inside boss the original hole location down inside there it is clear in the brake pad and that if needed that could be kind of ground down and out of the way because it doesn't need to be there anyway but it's looking like it's going to work now I haven't actually bolted on the brake disc yet I was just making sure that this was going to bolt in like I wanted so it looks like it's going my way finally it's all the way down right there it's touching it's not it's not far off at all right they're on it why it go so that's why I was saying that I think this is going to have to be turned down I believe I was talking about that earlier we're gonna have to put this in the lathe and skin a little bit of that OD off maybe maybe we can go eight to the net get that get that the line up really if you is to open this hole up a little bit it was bolt the probably start it's so close but we're probably going to scan the rotors all right last hole [Music] [Music] [Music] I have the meter says the turkeys ready claim it is looks like it's cooked it's at hundred sixty-five so we're gonna pull it I had some moms carving up the turkey you gonna give me a taste test and let me know what you think because I just missed the first taste test and see acting like it was pretty good mm so it's great is it mama BOM approved Oh God 1% alright Hache I'm so good you taste that injection in there yes very good so I injected it with the amazing Cajun blazing marinade so it's got the spikes to it and then we've got the outside shook with the it's incredible season and then it's smoked with pecan wood and the pit barrel yeah and he told me that I needed to get one of those smokers and I said no you can keep being my smoker [Laughter] I'll keep cooking them for you then okay thank you you
