Making an ARMY of Tool Holders || INHERITANCE MACHINING
Welcome back to the manual machine shop! This video I’ll be expanding my collection of tool holders for my Aloris style CXA quick change tool post on my metal lathe. Constantly having to mount different tools in the holders is the opposite of “quick” so I’m excited to finally fix this problem. I’ll make the bodies from annealed 4140 steel and I’ll be getting into surface grinding, then dovetail cutting and power tapping on the vertical milling machine. And as you’ll see, this requires a fair amount of precision setup and on the fly problem solving. I’ll then move over to the manual lathe to knock out the hardware which involves knurling and threading the knobs. Then metric threading the height adjustment studs. All in all I’m excited for the functionality these additional holders will bring me for future projects. Enjoy!

8 Months, 20 videos and already 63k subscribers and mostly way above 75k views. You are the perfect example for how to grow a channel and making you a name, just with high quality content. No asking for likes and subscription every 5 seconds, paid promotions or the other annoying stuff. Just you, having fun, sharing your knowledge and even your failures. Awesome. Don't change a thing, I love your content and I always share it with all my friends since I found your channel.
That really means a lot. It's one of our biggest goals with the channel. Thanks for the support and spreading the word!
@@InheritanceMachining I had a vocational training in mechatronics, including working with a lathe and mill and honestly, I learned more from your few videos as in the 8 weeks of machine training. Every small explanation is priceless if you want to understand the basics better. Keep it up, can't wait to see more. Greetings from Germany.
And these numbers doubled in a month.
Can't agree more with the note about begging for engagement. If the content is good, people will follow. But if I have to see a popup telling me to "like, subscribe, turn on notifications" 8 times in one video (in addition to the creator constantly reminding me), I'll ignore that channel no matter how good it is.
One month later, 123k subs.
These videos could be 2 hours long and I would still watch them.
Indeed, but then Brandon would be spending a lot of time on editing.
Likewise!
I third; Its official. We are getting 2hr videos now!
Actually i would take my evening with a giant bucket of popcorn
Agreed 👍
*CORRECTION!! The main bodies are actually low carbon cold rolled steel, not 4140 as I mention in the video and some other comments. Got my McMaster order history mixed up! Also for those wondering raw material, hardware and tooling cost was around $350 USD plus $30 shipping. Not including the die that was ultimately not used. With a battalion of tool holders ready and waiting I think lathe heavy project is in order. Tune in Friday October 14th at 10am EST for the next build!
Yeah! Right on my birthday I really enjoyed your video, like all of them before! I also had this problem with a seriously wonky thread, after cutting it with a die, even though I precut the threads on a CNC lathe with a insert tool. I planned on finishing them with a die. Learned to not trust thread dies at all 😂
I think you have an incredible channel there’s a serenity to it, maybe it’s your voice. Happy birthday to Dodo Jesus rex🎉. Keep up the awesome work……….. Your shop is pretty neat( the bomb)
@@dodojesusrex5380 wow really? I had someone else suggest doing just that, but apparently may not be a good idea either. One other person recommended holding the die in the 3jaw and the shaft in the tailstock chuck. At least this way you could guarantee the die is straight. Happy Birthday!!! Hope it’s a good one!
@@anthonyrivers8395 Thank you, sir!
@@InheritanceMachining Die in the chuck doesn't sound like a bad idea, tbh, never thought about that. And yeah, I gotta say it was only an M10 thread in some very gnarly tool steel over 12xD 😅 So I could've seen that coming tbh. At least i learned from it 😂
Cool project, very well executed and filmed. Little tip at 16:40: you can clamp these well and secured without damaging the thread in the collet.
My mechanics and inheritance machining collab vid? 🤔
Much appreciated, and good tip! Been enjoying your content for years
two of my favourite channels interacting!
Same, love the community!
This has easily become my favorite KZhead channel about machining. The presentation is perfect (excellent lighting, camera angles, graphics, humor, and just plain easy-going warmth); the projects are interesting, with just enough technical detail without being pedantic or too much of an info dump; plenty of practical lessons to take to home shops for hobbyist and pros alike; there's absolutely zero filler bullshit, obnoxious commentary, or clickbaity invented persona; and the video lengths are just right to cover the project without being too long to get tedious or too short to be unsatisfying. Hell, it's become one of my favorite KZhead channels period, and I subscribe to literally several hundred, which are mostly makers/crafters/builders/fabricators/etc. Well done, and I eagerly look forward to the next video!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this, Anthony. Literally every point you mention has been my hope from the start. Thank you for your kind words and support along the way!
@@InheritanceMachining You’re very welcome! You’ve done such a great job, and I have no doubt you’ll keep it up!
I couldn't agree more, impeccable work ethic
As a 30 year professional woodworker , metal working has a huge place in my heart. I love this channel for smaller pieces and Kurtis at CCE Australia for big pieces. Keep up the great work
Best machinist content on youtube, not even close. The music, the voice, the camera work, explanations, everything is perfect. More side projects, please.
Wow! Thank you so much!
i totally love the guy & the content... but you should also check "clickspring" (diff style but amazing!)
"Without a single hiccup, I might add" As he said that, you could see how the tool holder got pulled up from the vice by the tap. If you go frame by frame at 12:34, you can see it lift by a few milli meters.
I didn't even catch that 😂 I guess I'll have to start over
@@InheritanceMachining I assumed that the without a hiccup was in there as a joke... The timing for it was absolutely perfect.
I KNEW I wasn't just seeing things, the movement caught my eye and I watched at 0.25x speed just to make sure I was seeing it right
I saw the exact same thing and laughed when i went back to double check. was perfectly timed with the comment he made
I legitimately can't wait for each new video man this is good stuff 👏👏
😁 Thank you! Glad your here!
Who knew that 'Army' was the collective noun for multiple toolholders? You learn something new every day!!! 🙂
Thank you so much!
I learnt something new..Thanks!
Love your content man! Get excited every time you upload a new vid🙌🏼 don’t change a thing, from the narrating to the music, it all makes your channel very nostalgic and has great wholesome vibes.
Thanks man! Glad your here and happy to share!
I used to watch a ton of videos about woorworking and general crafting a few years ago but no more. This one here got me. I feel the excitement on every upload notification.
@@foulukun got me too! The day I stumbled across this channel, I binge watched every upload back to back to back until I watched all of them. Now I just wait for each new upload. Great story and an extremely talented man. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@foulukun thank you so much 🙏 I hope it inspires you to do some making yourself!
Love the channel. Not preachy, fun to watch, and real. Especially like you keeping those machines busy making things.
I really appreciate that. Thank you
Boy oh boy... With the shop you have .. if be in heaven with all I would build lol .
English 1b is a great class - interpreting the writers' story telling - brought to youtube...... thanks
If you like the bare steel look, you might consider Boeshield T-9. It was developed by the Boeing Company for lubrication and corrosion prevention on aircraft. It sprays on and leaves a thin, clear, wax-like coating when dry. It's a little pricy, but I have had excellent results with it.
Oh thanks for the tip! I haven't heard of that one. I've been using another product called ACF 50. It's kind of like a penetrating oil and has worked great for my projects so far
There is something quite special about your videos. Your skills in the shop are matched by your humour and the excellent production values you possess. An absolute delight. This Scottish pirate raises a dram in your direction 👍
thank you so much!
I'm a grizzled and cynical 39 year old man and every single one of your videos makes me smile.
I really appreciate this, man. Thank you
I have to say I’m super impressed with this channel! As a machinist from Germany, I really admire what you are doing. The camera work and the editing is just perfect. I wish you the best of luck for this channel ! Definitely already one of the best in my book . Greetings from the old world Silas
Thank you so much, Silas!
first time my internal perfectionist feels so good! Thx!
Easily the best into to a video I’ve ever seen. Regardless of channel.
There is just something so satisfying about watching a chunk of metal speedily turn into something
I love what you do honoring the legacy laid before you
Thank you!
As a woodworker I love watching your channel to understand how to think about processes and tooling. It's fascinating to compare the challenges of machining wood with all of its variables to working with metal. There are surprising parallels. Your channel is great. Thanks
Why you gotta go tugging on my heart strings man.... I love the mix of laughing my ass off at you shaving, and the love of your grandfather
Like many said, this channel is one of my favorites! And I know it may be surprising, but I liked the video uniquely because you did not ask for it.
Your Bolt Action Pen video popped in my Recommended list on Sunday. Today is Thursday, and I just finished binging every video you've posted. Amazing. Fantastic video quality, great editing, voiceover as the primary means of communication, time lapses on repeated/monotonous operations. Bravo. Just fantastic. Gives me the same warm & fuzzys as The Repair Shop - a British program where they restore old stuff. Was on Discovery+ for a while, and I think it's moved to Amazon Prime now. Calming, intricate, and really shows an attention to detail and a care for the work that is just unmatched in today's world. Keep it up. Lifetime subscriber. When's the next video?!
Thank you so much and welcome aboard! I post every 2 weeks and the next video is Friday 10/28
I'm finding myself re-watching your videos, two even 3 times over. I love watching makers enjoyinglearning, sharing and honing their craft - for me it can be fabrication, woodworking, blacksmithing etc. The quality of your content is phenomenal and I look forward to future content from you. Grats and look forward to your channel growth.
i f**king LOVE this channel. keep up the good work.
😁 thanks a ton!
I’ve been binging restoration/machining/cleaning videos for some time since I struggle with sleep. What I discovered was that these kind of videos inspire my creativity and get me excited to explore new ways to create. I’m new on your channel, and as of now I just watched your re-creation of the bolt action pen, and I have loved every second. You are incredible. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re inspiring all of us!
I really appreciate that. Thank you so much!
This has rapidly become one of my favourite channels. Great production quality, good editing forces to get enough detail while avoiding it becoming repetitive.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback
I could never do any of this stuff but yet I’ve binged your entire channel in a week.
I'm a Cutting edge engineering fan here for the first time
Welcome! Kurtis and Karen are great!
My favorite youtuber right now. Phenomenal quality, amazing content.
Thank you so much!
Better than a movie. The plot always thickens.
This has become my absolute favorite channel on youtube. Without a doubt. Love the story, love the atmosphere, love the sheer quality of your parts and attention to detail! Not to mention I look up to you for your skill and engineering background. I'm just a humble welder who wants to become an engineer someday.
Thank you so much. That really means a lot. I hope you get there, man!
You can never have to many tool holders. Excellent work
thanks! someone else said 20 is the bare minimum. We'll see how long it is before I make some more.
So nice to see the progression of adding tools. It's a captivating cascade of bootstrap operations that allow you to increase efficiency/repeatability and take on more complex projects. I am pregnant with anticipation of the next project. 🙂👌❤
And broadening my skillset in preparation for "real" projects doesn't hurt! So glad you've been following along
A few videos ago I said, I’m pretty sure Grandpa is smiling. I am now convinced he is heartily laughing and dancing a jig while watching your shop shenanigans. Wonderful shenanigans ! 👊😎
Knowing him he'd probably have a few names for me too 😂 Thanks!
You sure picked that 200 pound rotary table up like it weighed nothing... Or at least less.😂
Perfection 👌 Five quality tool holders, perfectly produced. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😀
Nice work! I agree, very successful and even more useful!
Exactly! Thanks
Power tapping A2 is a bold move Cotton. Bold bold move
To help clear swarf when tapping a blind hole, try pre-filling the hole with vaseline or similar. As the tap advances the vaso is extruded out the flutes taking swarf chips along the way.
Impressed about the accuracy you get with your grinder...
I made a batch of toolholders a while back. When it came to machining the dovetails I adopted the approach taught to me by an elder statesman of machine shop expert. His advice was to make the cut in one pass which meant running the tool well under any theoretical speed and makingthe pass very slowly. It was strongly advised to flood the job with coolant, not to cool the cut but more to wash away the swarf. The result was excellent.
Good work as usual. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks as usual!
Good health habits to keep some simple bueatiful set of lathe machine attached... nice appreciate
Your into montages are so satisfying. Thanks for putting so much into these videos.
I appreciate that! Thank you
You very quickly became one of my favorite channels on KZhead. You also satisfy the perfectionist in me
😁 So glad to hear that! Thanks!
"Now I just have to find a place to put all of these." I smell a side project.
You have a good sniffer 😉
Very nice job. Hopefully you get great use out of them for many years to come my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Mill On. Turn On. Keep Making. Keep milling. God bless.
I made some of these on a hf mini mill abd it turned out pretty nice. Id love to have the machinery you have. Someday i will. I love your channel. It inspired me to find the time to get back out to the shop
This is now my number one reason for wanting a mill. (To build tool holders for my new lathe.) - now I have to convince my wife to let me shell out another 6 grand...
Wow amazing. It is so nice watching and listening to you. As always I can't wait to see more videos.
Thank you so much! 😁
the intro **chefs kiss**
Very nice work. The step by step content is very useful. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.
Thanks, Ed
Great project. I especially liked how you have detailed explanations of all your work holding and fixturing.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback!
I have so much inspiration for when I finally obtain my own machines thanks to these videos.
I'm glad! Hope you can get a shop together soon! Thanks
You did great on these holder's, pretty pieces! Well done, and video's are spot on! Thanks!
Thank you!
I have finally put my thumb on what it is that felt "off" to me about this channel and it's that this channel is so good it inspires me to make my own channel but at the same time it's so good it inspires me to just not waste my time on my junk and just keep watching your quality and to focus on other things. Hope that doesn't come off badly, I promise it's a compliment.
No offense taken. Thank you. If I'm being honest these videos take as much time out of the shop as they do in. More actually. So there's a pretty big sacrifice in that regard.
I have binged every video since discovering your channel last week. I am consistently impressed with your skills, precision, and persistence. You do an amazing and entertaining job detailing your process and thoughts around each project. I look forward to the next video and the small serotonin hit that the notification will deliver.
Wow thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words
Your videos are machinist meditation, Brandon. Your voice is so calming and lends well to the calming quality of your videos. You’ve also got just enough This Old Tony in you without going overboard. All in all, you’ve done incredible job of finding your own niche in the machinist KZhead space and I really look forward to following along with you. I’m sure your grandfather is smiling down on you from machinist heaven!
Thank you so much, John!
If you go back and recheck your dovetail you'll find it's moved because of the giant slot milled in the opposite side. It's always a good idea to do all the major roughing ops before starting finish work.
Great job ! I like were your heads going. How your approach is to each task deserves high praise !
Thank you very much!
Great channel, love your content. I wanted to share a great tip that a well experienced Mill Hand taught me one day: Spot, Drill and Tap all of your holes in the same location across all parts before moving over in the X-axis to the next hole. Then repeat. If you have to change speeds for tapping, then come back and do that after all are drilled. For the chamfer, you can just leave the vise slightly cracked and allow it to self center. His reasoning is that you can swap parts and tools much faster than you can move the axes and lock them down. So long as your tolerance is 0.005" total, you will be good.
"Without a single hiccup I might add" As the part moves in the vice lol
Very nice work, and you can never have enough of them. Enjoyed, cheers!
Thanks!
My new fave You Tube station.
😃
I’m enjoying your content a lot. Glad your finding success here. Every time I watch these I always get the urge to rebuild my shop
Thank you! What's holding you back?
@@InheritanceMachining I don’t have the time or energy at this phase in my life to spend in my shop. It’s on the back burner for now. But eventually I’ll get around to doing something again.
@@J_CtheEngineer I definitely get that. At least you've got it there when do can get back at it.
Easily my favorite machinist on KZhead. Keep up the great work!
Thanks man!
This litteraly kept my 2y/o enthralled for 20 minutes.........I mean I'll have to go back and watch it again later but from what I saw, as always an awesome upload. Thanks man I really appreciate and look forward to your vids
😂 Start them young! Thanks
Oh man! This episode was great. From the “dramatic re-enactment” 😂 to the final product. I’ll admit I was expecting something to go horribly wrong from the moment you said that not drawing your plans might backfire, you tricked us lol but I guess you are getting better at machining things since you started hehe. Thanks for the video Brandon!
I was honestly surprised how smoothly it went 😂 Thanks!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite machining channels. I greatly appreciate the videos. Keep up the great work!
My pleasure! Thank you!
Great vid, enjoying watching the progression of your shop and skills!
Thanks!
Turned out great
Quickly becoming my favorite machining channel on youtube
This holds me over between ToT and Ave content, I love it
I just paused this at the part where the stock fell off the truck......thank you.
Nicely done
Been loving your channel lately. I'm finally getting a large workshop to hopefully get a lathe and mill for. You gice me lots of great inspiration.
Glad you're here man! And that's you're getting a shop together. Best of luck!
Very cool!! I’m thoroughly enjoying your content. Thank you for making such clean and to the point content.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Lovely job 👏🏻
Deeply satisfying as always! 😙👌
Great explanation as to why and how you complete each step. I reckon I’m not alone in wishing I could of met your Grandad, thank you !
Thank you as always, Norm!
So easy to watch 👌 Cheers Chris
This is my new favorite youtube channel. I immediately subbed after the first video. As a machinist And perfectionist I like to keep things as tight tolerance as possible. Your videos are so incredibly easy to watch and the fact you go way above and beyond to make things incredibly accurate is my favorite part. Keep up the good work absolutely love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Excellent video, as always. I can’t wait to see the next project!
Thanks man!
Favorite machining channel now❤
Chamfering is what separates us from the animals - quinn I always enjoy watching and listening to the voice-over comments. Thanks for another excellent video. Everything is perfect, not just from an aesthetic standpoint, but also from an instructive angle. Best wishes, as always.
Does it still count if I pronounce it incorrectly? 😉 Thanks again, Bruce. I've appreciated your support and kind words since the beginning
Such a nice project, love these toolholders. This is one of my new favorite channels, keep up the good work Brandon. All the best from Holland!
Thanks Arnold! My pleasure!
Beautiful work, Brandon! These turned out great! I like the raw steel look as well. Also, seeing that dial indicator run perfectly on zero across a part that big was EXTREMELY satisfying! Thank you for sharing this with us! I'm excited to see how you use these in the future. Keep up the great work!
Thanks as always Jay! I was honestly surprised at that as well. Probably a good thing I didn't get out the tenths indicator 😂 I'll be using these a lot for sure!
@@InheritanceMachining Haha! Yeah. The tenths indicator can make something essentially flat appear horribly out of whack.
Just cane across your channel and binge watched everything in 2 days. Patiently waiting for more. 😁😁
😂 Thanks man!
I used to work in a screw shop they had nice die holders for the tailstock with removable inserts :)
I was thinking something along those lines to I'm not limited to 1 size
@@InheritanceMachining yeah they had hinged bodies for the inserts so you would just put in your pitch and you could disengage the inserts and pull the stock out of the die. I went into CNC but I always remember running those old WW2 brown and Sharpe machines all cam timing stuff
You are a talented machinist! Wonderful video.
Thank you so much!
Such an amazing content, I love this channel
Another well planned and executed video. Thank you.
My pleasure!
These videos are so insanely soothing to my non stop chaotic brain 🤣🤣🤣
😁 Glad I could help!
First of all, your craftsmanship is fantastic! Me I'm a software-engineer turned toolmaker, though I still am a software guy and I use those skills to build automation into my machines, I can say that toolmaking is a concept closely related to meta-programming. But here is what I wanted to say. It is easy to get lost in it, lose track of ground reality (pun not intended but very fortunate). Essentially, it can become a never ending cycle of building tools to perfect tools, but perfection is an illusion, and its not worth chasing. I have learned it the hard way. 80/20 is the way to go.
Your video are so satisfying to watch.
Thank you, Cesar
Keep it up! Great content, wonderful delivery.
Thank you!
Another awesome video. Definitely time for a custom rack to mount all these beautiful tool holders. I have an AXA sized quick change tool holder on my trusty 9" South Bend. Had a spare way clamp left over so it's mounted to the far right rear corner with a vertical post and an angled aluminum plate. It holds 8 tool holders, Allen wrenches, both the 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks, and the tailstock accessories like the Jacobs chucks and live centers.
Thank, as always Keith! That's a really clever ideal. I was thinking something on the backsplash or the wall behind it, but I think I recall seeing an extra way clamp around as well.
