Making a Rotary Chuck Adapter || INHERITANCE MACHINING
Welcome back to the manual machine shop! Last video I walked through the process of reverse engineering a D1-5 camlock mechanism and manually drafting a rotary table chuck adapter based on that design. Now for the fun part... the machining! I’ll start with the most complicated part, the main body and walk through the process step by step. Including precision taper turning on the manual lathe, multiple milling and drilling setups with the rotary table on the vertical milling machine, and also nearly scrapping the part. But don’t worry, whenever there’s a mistake, there’s often a solution. Enjoy!

I have to credit my wife again for not only the project saving idea, but also for all her support with the channel. These videos wouldn't be possible without her. Join us again on Friday September 16th at 10am EST for what will hopefully be the conclusion to this project. Fingers crossed for no more mistakes. Or at least no more BIG ones. Thanks for watching!
Perhaps she should have her own channel??? Or at least feature her in one of yours. As well, helping your followers to get to know you by making a video about your background, hers, grandfather, etc. would be nice. I really enjoyed your first video that told a bit about you and your grandfather.
@@KW-ei3pi or a link to her channel?
@@BrilliantDesignOnline, Paige’s channel is called Farmhouse Vernacular.
I know exactly what you mean about our Better Halves.
Haha, my wife puts up with the mess I make and the expensive hobby. The better halves definitely deserve a lot of credit 😆
As a fellow toolmaker and engineer, I think it's great that you don't leave out the mistakes. Anyone watching can learn from that. The adapter looks great.
Thanks. That's exactly why I leave them in.
When we are talking about misstakes, there are 2 different people. The ones who hide it, and the ones who are talking to colleagues about best way to fix it. I have seen both at my work. Everyone makes a misstake sometime.
Yes, 100%. That’s the place where I learn new techniques and approaches. Keep including them!
mistakes are how i learn myself, you learn explicitly WHY you shouldnt cut corners
The box of shame had a fine feast.
beautiful
Thank you, sir!
There's nothing more gut wrenching than screwing a part, and nothing more satisfying than the bodgery required to salvage it actually coming out looking professional. As a machinist in a repair environment rather than manufacturing, I think I've found a new favorite channel.
16:59 I like to think of this as "Clickspring clean" as far as sanding away a metal join until it becomes invisible goes. Well done and nice recovery!
A little sand paper will go a long way... Thanks!
ah, i see you are a man of culture as well...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Clickspring is out of this world clean
Dude, I've been following you from the beginning of your channel and I just want to say, as a none machinist viewer, that your channel is a wonderful contribution to the machinist community in KZhead. I'm sure you'll grow and have a very successful channel. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. Well done.
I really appreciate you saying that. Thanks for all the support along the way!
I felt the pain, when the sleeve got stuck 😅 This was an absolute monster project, came out nice 👌
😂 everyone knows that "oh shit" feeling. Much appreciated, man!
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot!
The recovery from the oversized hole was top notch. 👌 Thank you for such an inspirational and educational video. 👏👏👍😀
Thank you!
I’d almost be jealous of what you’ve got going on. Hell, I am. But I think your’s are the right hands the legacy has chosen. Your videos are superb. Your missus rocks. The machines are art. And your work…..is…all of these things
I really appreciate that. Thank you so much!
well said there!
Very well spoken, Sir.
A bit late to this particular party, but I second this!
My Dad always said “did ya learn your lesson?” I said yes. He said “ok , call it a learning process” Ain’t a day goes by I wish Dad was still here. Praise The Lord for a memory ❤️👍
.002" is quite a heavy press for a 1inch sleeve. I use the .0005" per inch of diameter rule. .001" per inch for things that will have a lot of load. Nice save with the sleeve and boring head and a beautiful part!!
Ah, good to know. Thanks!
As a moron, I appreciate when I see others making some of the same stupid mistakes I do. I appreciate your work and love the videos!
😂 We all make bonehead moves at times. I appreciate the support!
Making a major mistake is a frustrating and sometimes panic-inducing experience. The way you recovered from it is nothing short of inspiring. As always, you produce professional grade, beautiful tools. I enjoy your videos a lot, thank you for making those.
It still amuses me that a critical step in the process of aligning materials very, very precisely, usually involves wacking it with a hammer. Still enjoying the videos man. Keep em coming!
I literally think about this all the time 😂 It's so inelegant! But it works. Thanks for the support!
Alongside my mechanical engineering degree, I plan to become competent at machining (took my first few machining courses not too long ago). Watching your videos has made me realize that I have a long long long way to go and to be incredibly patient when I'm working away. Subscribed!
You are very kind, but I'm still a beginner myself. There are honestly endless things to learn in this field so you will never get bored, I'm sure. Thanks for the support!
Drills are made to cut on the end while end mills are for side cutting. When a flat bottom hole is needed, drill to finished size then follow with a flat bottom drill. But you knew that already. Keep up the good work.
this channel has one of, if not the best, intro song and styles of all the channels I've seen
We all make mistakes - we're here to learn from the "saves". Good work - both of you!
Exactly. Thank you!
i love seeing old school drafting. thats what i went to college for, and still use in lots of my design work. great content! keep it up!
I am a woodworker. We do the same thing in different mediums, but I have to live with 'wood moves'. I love seeing a craftsman at work, and your videos are Frist quality. Nice that your wife is involved with problem solving. Team.
I have watched this viedo multiple times by now and the "Death"-joke gets me every single time.
To be fair, dying would be a catastrophic mistake 😂
dying of a catastrophic mistake is their 3rd worst nightmare
Not necessarily, assuming you're in massive debt and have good life insurance
I guess the primary rule in aviation applies here as well: "Death is bad".
Just food for thought. I wanted to mount a four-jaw independent chuck to a rotary table to hold oddly shaped objects. I was going to make an adapter plate, but lazy me, I decided to do it differently. This was an 8" table, and I wanted an 8" chuck for it. Using the T-slots would have required a rather thick plate. Since it is common for a 4-jaw independent flat-back chuck to be mounted to a spindle adapter with bolts from the front of the chuck, I simply drilled and tapped four holes in the top of the rotary table. I did take the rotary table apart to make sure I didn't hit anything important when I drilled and tapped the front. A simple solution. If I want a 3-jaw scroll, I'll just mount it in the 4-jaw.
It's not how many times you do things right,,, it's how well you are able to recover from mistakes.
As a machining apprentice in my second of three years, this channel is pure gold for me. Thank you for leaving in the mistakes you made, especially in this video it shows how errors and bad ideas cannot only exponentially grow, but also be solved and turned into good.
I give you a tremendous amount of respect for showing your mistakes along with everything that went right in your videos . We learn so much more from our mistakes than we do from our successful endeavors .
It's nice to know it's not just me that starts with a plan, which goes wrong, and then I spend 3x as much time and/or money coming up with creative solutions to my ineptitude.
Comforting for me as well lol
One learns more from mistakes than from successes, thanks for another very nice video.
very true. Thanks!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who occasionally has cascades of bad ideas 🤣
I've learned in my machining career that once I started to calm down relax and slow down my mistakes diminished so glad I do job shop work now vs production work.
i appreciate that you have the full documentation of your journey its helpful i often find myself saying to myself" i could just do X" or " i dont know why i couldnt do x to make it easier" nice to both know im not theonly one that finds myself doing that and also why "x" isnt gonna be faster but sometimes its fixable lol look forward to watching more of your stuff
Brandon. i just wanted to take a second to let you know ive been having a hell of a couple days at odds and out of sorts. feeling a lil ill to top it all off... going back through your catalog and watching a couple of episodes really did help relax me man. much appreciated.
Shoot, man. Sorry to hear that. I appreciate that my videos could help though. Hope you feel better soon
The best machining channel on KZhead in my honest opinion! Well done Brandon, you do gramps proud buddy! /Cheer
I like your sense of self humor.great job
beautiful part and wonderful recovery.
Absolutely love the video quality man this is great stuff. Cant wait to see the final result and get to see this piece in action. Keep it up!!
I’m no stranger to FUBAR but hearing “…unFUBAR this FUBARed hole…” made me laugh and spit my coffee. Enjoying these video greatly. I’m about half way through binge watching them. 👍
Fantastic work, I’m gripped! Thank you for taking the time to share your work.
My pleasure!
That was a very complex project, great job! Love you post from all aspects, machining, video and narrative. This was even "action packed". I remember yelling inside "Nooooooo! when you tried to use the quill as an arbor press :)
Thanks, Jose! Yeah haste usually leads to bad decisions. Fortunately everything seems to be alright (except the poor handle).
@@InheritanceMachining How ‘bout that rotary table? Did the hammer thwacking do any damage? 🤔
@@wayngoodman3099 From what I can tell so far no. I think it's mass saved me!
I swear, machinists are miraculously-patient geniuses. I'll stick with drafting.
Great video. Great recovery. End results priceless. I bought the drawings from the ASME to duplicate a similar build for a D1-4. All I can do is hope it comes out close enough to do the job. Having the tools to work with means everything to a Hobbyist. We kind of learn as we go at times when it get complicated. My mill will be a JET 2hp mill/drill. It doesn't belong to me and sits at a friends shop about an hour away. IF we can get past the setup and take baby steps it might work out fine, of course nothing like you did. But we did pick up some good ideas watching your build. Thanks.
that sleeve was a good fix . all in all looks pretty good
Thanks! Turned out better than I expected
Brandon, I have to say big thanks for your videos. I have no idea why me as web developer have this sick interest to videos of machining. You channel is awesome. Your videos are awesome. I getting huge doses of dopamine watching you videos. Just a few days I got your channel in recommendations and I'm so happy because of it. Only few videos left to watch and I'll be waiting for new videos much more stronger then for all of series I've watched. The biggest appreciations for you and your wife for this story. With you both I have this chance to watch this awesome story of inheritance. I have a chance to improve my english as well. I have a chance to listen to good music. Big thanks right from my heart
That recovery was top. Man who never made a mistake never made anything.
Nice save, Great video.
Most enjoyable, looking forward too the finally.
Thanks!
Excellent video Brandon. I can totally relate. I've made plenty of mistakes myself halfway through a complicated part, and more often than not scrapped the part and started over. My hat's off to you not only for sticking with it but also for owning the mistake and learning from it. One of my first projects was a brass gyroscope. I got all the turning on the lathe done, and it came out beautiful....only to get completely eaten up by a 1/2" drill bit while I was drilling the flywheel. As I was punching the 5th out of 6 holes, the bit grabbed and pulled the flywheel right out of my clamps, totally destroying it. A total loss because stupid me didn't want to clamp it down too tight on my mill table for fear of marring the finish. How's that for irony? Regardless, the best lessons are those that sting a little....you never forget what you did wrong and you always remember how you fixed it. Great content and take take care my friend.
Oh man.. the ironic mistakes like that are always the worst! You usually have a gut feeling that what you are doing isn't quite right then it comes back to bite you... been there before too! Also that's exactly right. You could watch all the videos in the world but until you make the mistake yourself and at a cost, you may not truly learn. Thanks again for the support!
😳 Snuck in a part 2!! Good stuff as always Brandon. As echoed by a lot of other commenters, love how you are so unafraid to share your mistakes and how you went about fixing them.
2 for 2! 😂 Thanks man. I'll continue to share them when they happen. As long as people can learn from them then I think they are valuable to show. And if not, at least they are entertaining
Dude has an amzing machine shop and his wife is an engineer. Living the the dream.
I'm so happy you inherited those machines - KZhead is a much much better place because of it! You've managed to hit your own style and beat in a sea of machinists on here, and it's so very enjoyable to watch and listen to!
Thank you so much!
Your wife is awesome. Thank God for supportive partners. You did a nice recovery and your mistakes remind me that not everyone gets it right the first try. That is so important. Nice recovery too. You really showed the value and importance of not giving up. Thank you for another great video!
Thank you so much and I'll pass along the sentiment!
Using the quill as an arbor press reminds me of a welding meme. The picture is the welder using a micrometer as a c-clamp to hold a weldement to the table. With the wording being, “My machinist coworker got super pissed when I used his c-clamp…”. Fine job so far sir! 🤘🏻🇺🇸 #happymistakes
I know that meme... I guess now I am one! 😂 Thanks!
You explain the entire process so clearly. This is becoming more of a favorite channel.
I love to hear that. Thank you so much!
Excellent recovery! I had that heart sinking moment just as though it was my own project. Glad you got things back on track 👍
I think we've all been there. Thanks man!
What a beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing your mistakes along the way, it will always help others like me not to make the same mistakes. I cant wait for the rest and Kudos to your wife for being so brilliant!
That's exactly my hope! Thanks and I'll pass it along!
Beautiful result for this custom part. It may not match every dimension on the drawing, but when you’re done you can update the drawing to match the part. Happens all the time in industry…… even in aerospace companies. If you want to document these changes, just capture what’s change on a “engineering change order” and roll the drawing’s revision letter from NC (no change) to Rev A. 👍👍😎👍👍. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Oh I know this well 😂 Thanks for watching!
Over here, "A" would be a prior to construction rev. Your construction drawings would be rev 0, with the short description "issued for construction" in the revision block, and the update would be rev 1, probably described as "dimensions updated" and the revisions indicated with a "cloud" drawn around the changes in a light line weight. Interesting just how different standard practice can be.
Nice recovery and adaptation
I'm really enjoying your videos. I know exactly what it's like to have one bad decision snowball into a series of them. It's good to see how different people go about solving screwups.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one. Though I suspected I wasn't 😉 Thanks for watching!
That was a really clever way to set the taper angle. I’ll have to remember that.
I'm so glad you leave in the mistakes. We all make them. But I'm amazed at how you fixed your mistakes. The bush was a great idea. Very well done, you can be proud of yourself. Cheers. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you very much!
This turned out great despite your mistakes, Brandon! Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm excited to see the finished adapter and how it works! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Jay! You and I both!
Enjoying your channel ,👌mistakes and all , working my way thru Cheers Chris
Thanks for your videos. As a hobbiest setting up my own shop in my shed its great to see these projects and learning points!!!. Looking forward to the next one.
My pleasure! Hopefully seeing my mistakes saves you from making your own!
Envy having an engineering supportive wife.. Though, that hand drawing is a channel by itself! Would love to see more!
Thanks! No doubt I'll be dabbling in it more
I had no idea machining could be this intense!
Hi Brandon. Fascinating. Leaving out practicality I've frequently wondered what it would take to convert my lathe spindle to a 'D' series. The practical aspect being the additional overhang of course. The real answer folks is a new spindle - or lathe but neither of those is going to happen. Still, very useful to see what is involved. Thanks.
really enjoyed it and makes me miss machining!
I love the work! Very inspiring to me. I would have blown a fuse at the quill lever snaping. Good job pushing through to the end, it looks marvelous.
Thanks a bunch! Oh I did blow a fuse but decided to cut out the rest of that clip 😂
So many good lessons here for the rest of us. Thanks for sharing as we all need frequent reminders. It's amazing how many silly mistakes one can make in such a short time span as soon as one bad thing happens. Make one mistake and then you overcorrect and overcorrect and never stop to think.
That really sums it up nicely Happy to share for exactly that reason. I need the reminders myself honestly (and obviously)
My father, who worked for Honeywell as a production engineer in their aerospace department, always told me “a craftsman will always make his mistakes look as if they were an actual part of the design” or something very close to that! One of the interesting things about your videos is your willingness to own, or feed to your box of shame, the errors made and how you correct them! Keep up the very interesting commentary!
very good complicated job..thanks for your time
thank you and thanks for watching!
Neat video. Wow, I haven't seen a drafting machine like that since I was an Engineering undergrad in the late 1960s. I used one that my older brother had, he moved from the machine to a simple parallel bar. When his engineering company hired me an an intern during college, I grew to prefer the parallel bar as well. (sometimes nepotism is very nice).
That is an amazingly complex project and making a mistake is almost unavoidable. Your channel is unique and we highly appreciate it. Thanks for all of your efforts to share your work with us, boo boos and all.
Thanks as always, Bruce! Happy to share all aspects of shop doings
Without mistakes, we'd never learn problem solving. Plus it's cool to see the solution.
Sleeve for the win!! Excellent solution. This project looks like a ton of fun to envision, plan, and, execute.
Woot Woot! Thanks. it definitely was!
Great lesson for when things don't go as planned. I think fixing mistakes take more skill than when things go smoothly. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
If not more skillful at least you might learn a new technique or two. Thanks!
This is my new favourite machining channel. Absolutely love the slow pacing, the subtle humour and the awesome results your machining produces. I'm mainly watching it for entertainment purpose since I'm not a machinist myself. I'm more of a hobbyist woodworker. But you wouldn't believe how much tips and tricks a woodworker can get from a good machinist. Everything from measuring to work holding is a infinite number of steps up from what's actually needed for most woodworkers. Me however, I strive for a precision on my woodworking projects that almost(well...quite far from almost, but hey...) is on par with machining. Thank you so much for this channel!
Thanks so much! I do a bit of woodwork myself and I'd say there are a lot of overlaps. Wood also has its own special challenges being non-homogenous and more susceptible to temperature and humidity. From that perspective I wouldn't claim that metal machining is any more advanced. Anyway thanks again for the support!
Your voice-overs are so calm and relaxed that I _really_ appreciated the break into real-time audio when you, ah, gorilla'd the quill handle off :) My workshop air is usually filled with blue words..
Thanks! Most of my real time audio is curse words as well 😂 especially when I do something stupid
Very nice clean result, well done! Can't wait for the next installment...
Thank you!
Very nice save , nice part and a nice lesson in perseverance. And a little lesson in what not to do haha. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you and my pleasure!
Thank you both for the great videos. The audio and video quality is also really nice👍 ….and thanks for showing the solutions to mistakes that happen …very helpful 👍🙂
Our pleasure!
Without mistakes, there is nothing to learn. Good rescue operation on the hole, thumbs up.
Very true. Thanks!
Great save. Nice part.
Thanks!
Fast becoming my favourite channel, Thank you 👏👏
😁 Thanks so much!
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦
My pleasure. Thank you!
ponder about life and the universe, well spoken
So pretty, nice save.
thanks!
Don’t you just love the look of machined parts. Thanks for sharing this awesome project 👍🏻
I do! My pleasure
Hi mate, you are so thorough and brilliant at showing yourself dialing everything in on the machines, visually and verbally painting a fantastic picture of all your operations. I feel I've learnt a bunch! From the drawing to this, it's awesome. Thank you for taking the time to do this. All the best
Much appreciated. Thank you!
I've made a few adaptors for the same taper. I believe that crazy angle is also 1 in 8. Much simpler to set...
Astonishing job! Never characterize a mistake as stupidity. Stupidity is a result of an intentional error, not an accidental error. Keep up the good work!
I suppose you're right... Thanks!
Loved the video, i've done the same cascading stupid decions before when making parts... I've learned to take a break and come back when things go sideways! Look forward to your next upload!
That's honestly what I should have done 😁 Thanks!
I find great enjoyment in seeing your videos. I've only seen 3 so far but look forward to watching many more.
Thanks! I'll warn you some things will make a lot more sense watching from the beginning
@@InheritanceMachining I've been exploring your channel, it's awefully therapeutic with the right amount of comedy. The work you do is impressive.
@@-Just_Justin- I appreciate that. Thanks again
Very, very nice video. Nice to see how you repair your mistake.
thanks!
Another great video. Thanks again!
Thank you as well!
Very nice work! You and your grandchildren should be very proud.
I hope they will be. But that's also a long ways down the road!
5 Words! YOU Are A Great Machinist!
I still have a ton to learn but thank you very much nonetheless 😁
You do know how to pull it through - well done
😎 Thanks!
Great recovery. That part is looking very nice.
Thanks!
