I’m a retired master machinist of 40 yrs. in my early years I had the pleasure of cutting internal key ways with a shaper on couplers just like this. Not many of us around with that skill anymore. Really enjoyed you video. Very professionally explained and professionally executed. I miss them rewarding days.

My favorite things about my favorite KZitem machinists: Abomb79: his precision K Rucker: his technical knowledge K Fenner: getter done All three are great machinist and their end result will always be the best for the job. I don't want to take away anything from any of them, since I learn so much from all of them and they are all such good people willing to share their expertise. I just wanted to highlight my favorite parts of each of them. Thanks, Adam for all of your videos.

Well done Adam, I used to use a large Butler Shaper when I worked at B.H.P Steelworks, Tool room. Brings back memories. Today they say, "CNC's can do anything" I'd like to see how they could do an Internal keyway in a tapered bore, and get it anywhere near as good as you did with an "Oldschool " Machine.

I'm a woodworker and there is just something very sensual and satisfying about running my hands over a finely sanded and smooth project that I have applied finish to and completed especially when I know there is a joint there but can't feel it. It seems akin to the feeling a machinist must get when he runs his/her hands over raw steel after turning and polishing.

Awesome stuff, always love these shaper vids! I'm noticing you've got those magnetic dial indicators for tracking your X (Is that X?) travel. Maybe a good project would be a more robust indicator holder that clamps onto the ways, like a lathe stop. That way you could see the dial better, and not have to worry about bumping the indicators and losing your zero? Just a thought.

For anyone who wonders what a shaper is good for now days, this is a good example. If that were anchored and could have run at full tilt with no camera work, it would have been done much faster and no need for a tapered broach plug. Even this was probably faster than having to make one of those. There's something very satisfying watching the shaper make those nice even shaved curls of steel without throwing them all over the place.

Another great video Adam. It's interesting to see just what these machines are capable of. If anyone hasn't already mentioned, I recommend that the one hold down stud for the table clamp be taken out and work on getting the nut out. Then reset the stud in the table with some non-permanent locktite. That way the wear will be between the nut and stud not between the stud and table when adjustments are made.

You can tell a lot from the chip: depending on the metal, the color will tell you the heat being produced and this will tell you if you need better cooling of the work/tool interface. Also, the thickness and shape of the chip tell you about the sharpness of the tool. Both of these also tell you about your feed rate and spindle (or, in this case, ram) speed
@alfredmorency8296
4 жыл бұрын
In addition to telling you a lot about what is happening, as Jon P. mentioned, some chip forms can cause problems. For example, long stringy lathe chips can wrap around a workpiece, posing a danger to the operator, as well as knocking coolant lines out of position, and flinging indicators ( I've lost two that way). Some chip forms will flow smoothly threw the flutes of a tool others will not. Some times a good chip can be produced by small changes in speeds and feed, other times it may be necessary to use different tool geometry.

I have just watched Adam use the shaper to make a a keyway. To verify the final size, he used measured sized blocks. These blocks are very precious as I found out as a apprentice many years ago. I unfortunately have acidic sweat and after using these blocks without using cotton gloves, my finger prints were all over the blocks I had used. These were discovered by the instructor which sealed my demise! So I share this information to help all not make the same foolish mistake as it ruins the blocks.

I understand that from the clacker box hinge point, that everything is heavy, and is cantilevered hanging and keeps the clacker box in its home seated position... But, what prevented the bar from being cracked on the retract part of the stroke, and having all heck break loose, or is it just that heavy ,for the amount of sideways feed rate. VS. If you were cutting the keyway on the bottom, and had a different method of fixture mounting the part? Is the clacker box locked, or not allowed to "clack"? so it would wedge of bind on the back stroke?... I really enjoy watching this shaped in action, and nice job on the videography and lighting, so everything is clear as day and makes great sense, when you are explaining something you are doing, because we can see it!!!
