Making a BT50 Tool Holder for SIP Jig Borer Tooling! | Shop Made Tools

Some serious metal removal to transform this scrap piece of material into a shop made BT50 tool holder for our SIP jig borer tooling! In this video we are making a custom BT50 tool holder to suit all of our bigger SIP hydroptic jig borer tooling but mainly so we can use our Wohlhaupter boring and facing head which has a SIP jig borer arbor. The SIP machines have a very unique spindle and all of the jig borer tools have a matching arbour and drive collet to suit it, but that means we can’t use any of the SIP tools in our conventional milling machines…until now! In this video we show the step-by-step process of turning a scrap piece of 4140 round bar into a new BT50 adapter. First, we setup the angle of the lathe compound to match a standard BT50 arbour before rough machining the OD of the round bar. We then drill and tap a hole to suit the drawer bar bolt of the mill before machining the BT50 taper. We then have to setup the angle of the lathe compound to suit the jig borer tooling before machining the taper on the other end of our material and then counter boring that to suit the collar on the jig borer tooling. Next, we use the milling machine to mill out the square for the drive in the tooling and mill out slots for the drive dogs to suit the spindle before finishing off turning the OD to size between centres in the lathe. We test the new shop made BT50 tool holder with our Wohlhaupter UPA-5 SIP boring and facing head before installing it on our BT50 Zayer 3500 bed-style milling machine!
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine

  • Kurtis This is an incredibly intricate job which you made look easy. As a 70 year old applied Australian mathematician who has worked in defence contexts I have been exposed to machinists and mate - you are friggin up there! I know that when JPL wants stuff machined it is like a PhD thesis. I am sitting re-egineering the geometry of what you do works (and it does) and you just do it like a magician. There is Japenese guy Airbus used for a critical part and the final dimensions he did on a lathe by sound ie frequency analysis. There is a KZhead video on it. I did a Fourier analysis at a theoretical level of what type of frequencies he was picking up as I didn’t believe they were within normal human frequency response for the resolution he needed but they were. Amazing. Mate when that Yorkshire welderfabber Baz rates you, you have made it believe me. You know that if I am up your way it will be a canathon of epic proportions!

  • I learn so much from your videos! I loved your technique of finding the angle of taper using a dial indicator. I used to machine stellite, we machine down the part, then tig weld the stellite back onto the part, then machine it back to the original specs. In high pressure steam power plants, the high pressure steam could actually cut channels through the stellite, causing leaks when the valve was closed. Stellite is one of the hardest austenetic alloys and actually retaines it's hardness even while red hot. It's a real bitch to weld cuz if you don't pre-heat it properly it will crack and then you have to start all over again.

  • I just love those long conical pieces of swarf when you use those big drill bits. I don't know why but when Kurtis switched over to the milling portion I was nervous, especially when he had to use the V-block. And of course the cutest potato in the world, Homey, stole the show!

Only a little thing, but it shows how life can be lived - we all need to take time out for those little things! Thanks again, and enjoy your weekend...

  • That is great you were able to locate all that tooling. That cabinet with the pull out shelves is really neat, it has to be pretty high quality to hold the tooling weight. I would enjoy a video of just the tooling. Oh and my projects are the same I imagine what I want in my head and get to work, but that is usually followed with, shoot let me look into this before I try again.

  • Definitely understand why you'd prefer, essentially, a quill extension over a boring bar. I recently had a quicky job drilling about 100 7/64" holes in some stainless. I've burned up cobalt and carbide drills on similar jobs in the past, in _far_ fewer holes. But this time instead of free-hand in the field with a portable drill, I was in a shop and had a drill press! Okay, it's a cheap-and-nasty import model with visible (if minor) runout, and it ran _way_ too fast - minimum speed is, I believe, 750 RPM - but it knocked out all the holes in 20 minutes, dry, with the first HSS drill, which was still sharp. Even a tiny bit of rigidity makes a huge difference.

  • The pied butcherbirds songs are so beautiful. Wow. I could listen to them for hours, no question. Well done on the adapter. As an engineer, I love seeing how machinists come up with shop made tooling to solve problems. Its a completely different mindset at times and so creative. I learn so much from them, and from Kurtis in these videos. Thanks guys!!!! 😀

  • I love how you set the angle. You already had a perfectly good taper to use as a reference so might as well do it that way which was fast and didn't take any extra gauges or such to do. That adapter will likely get a lot of use and was faster to make and certainly far less money than buying one if one is even made commercially. I expect this video may teach some others how to do similar adapters for themselves.
