Single point threading is slow. Die wrench results are trash. Both have their merits though so let's make something that is the best of both worlds!

Any guesses as to what kit number two is in that box (i.e. my next project)? Hint: I've kinda... sorta... made one in the past. Maybe. Erik, you're not allowed to answer.
Machinist jack?
Hi. Your the reason I'm taking draw and design for production in highschool. I want to be an engineer when I an adult. Awesome video.
@@hunterlilmanallenWish I had done that in high school. Good luck
Slitting saw arbor?
3 ball bearings? 1 axial and 2 radial bearings? Make a grinding spindle so you don't abuse the old hand grinder?
Can't wait to see the "need a bigger box of shame" side project.

@@Cactusape blondihacks , the best machinist on KZhead
i love that you put the tool on the thumbnail and in the intro, it make us stay for the journey not the end :)
I always liked how Applied Science edits his videos; first show off the thing he made, then show the prototypes that didn't work and how it was made. For machining videos presented in "start with stock, end with part", I never quite understand what everything is going to look like at the end. So the videos where they show you the parts first, then make them, make a lot more sense. (Sure, when you're making something yourself, you don't get the actual part to work off of. But, you did model the part and plan the order of operations, so you start with a lot more context than KZhead viewers get.)
Glad you agree grin 😁 Some folks prefer not seeing what I'm making, but I feel like if I didn't show at least a glimpse, no one would bother clicking the video 🤷♂
@@InheritanceMachining It does ruin some of the surprise of the finished item, but it does add another aspect to the video. Seeing a glimpse of the finished item and wondering "how in the heck did he machine that bit of it?" leaves me eager to see that particular operation
@@corey_nz that's always my hope!
@@InheritanceMachiningThanks for these videos
It’s sad how excited I get when I see a new video. 😂
How us it sad, it's amazing
Nah, He's one of the best machining channels on here definitely reasonable to get excited. Not many get visual, content, and audio quality all in one.
Soothing and informative narration, inclusion of mistakes, and great production value. One of my favorite channels, for sure.
Nah, it means that you're a rational human being
not sad, but perfectly reasonable
26 TPI is a British Standard Cycle thread (BS Cy) traditional on bicycles. 95% of cycle threads are 26 TPI no matter the diameter.
So basically 1mm metric pitch, just 0.023mm off.
You’re mistaken, BSC/BSA is 24tpi, however Raleigh used 26tpi until standardisation and persisted for a while after to save changing their tooling in one factory. So 26tpi is Raleigh-thread
@@emilcarr7190Wikipedia disagrees, and also other sources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Cycle?wprov=sfti1
The bicycle connection makes a lot of sense, the clutch mechanism reminds me of a pedal brake
Your talking about old bike stuff and even then there were lots of proprietary, so called, 'standards' . These days the only standard in the bike industry is that there is NO standard. The majority of modern bikes use M6x1 or M5x.8 small hardware. Bottom bracket 'standards' can be almost entirely non/standard. Even back in the day before modern press fit garbage and its idiotic QC and manufacturing issues, We had BSA threads, Italian, French, Swiss, Raleigh's proprietary threading, and many more. Old French bikes have a whole bunch of odd standards making them very difficult to find replacement parts. Fortunately BSA has become an accepted standard, 1.370" x 24tpi. T47 is a larger diameter variant on threaded BBs and a very few Italian manufacturers are stuck in the old days. There's also numerous headset and steerer tube 'standards. Old style threaded hub axles (higher end bikes now use 'thru axles') might have used 3/8x26 or 24, also 9mm or 10mm x1 and undoubtably others. Campagnolo used all sorts of weird proprietary threading back in the day. Thread tolerances can be so loose and sub standard (on cheap bikes) as to make the 'simple' cone adjustments not just a little frustrating. If you really want to be confused, look at the vast array of tire size standards! For such a simple, supposedly reliable machine, modern bicycles are often proprietary, complex and unreliable. The QC on overpriced bike junk is shameful and they're constantly trying to 'reinvent the wheel' to impress those fooled by marketing BS. As a lifelong cyclist, retired machinist, inspector, turned small business bike mechanic, this is all rather shameful in my point of view. Quality and engineering is extremely bad on overpriced production bikes in general. Even the most expensive. This has all been brought about for reasons of marketing BS, corporate profiteering, Asian manufacturing and modern consumer's intention to create landfill and always the 'upgrade'. Ironically, cycling is known as a 'green sport'.
This was thoroughly enjoyable to watch, even as a non-machinist. I think I've seen most of your videos and within 1 second of seeing that black knob I knew that we'd be seeing some brass in the next shot. 😆 Beautiful work as always!
You know me well 😂
Same as so many others on here have already said, your attention to detail is phenomenal, the videos are likewise so beautifully presented, written and edited. It's also so refreshing to see the mishaps, the mistakes, the parts that come out wrong, or the tool not tightened. A huge thumbs up from me!
Thank you very much, sir! It all comes with the territory so why act like those things don't happen? 😁
Brandon.... Your channel is literally like a medication for my ADHD and OCD... The fact that each step is explained, the manner in which you explain each process and the reason as to why you are doing it.. And the level of craftsmanship...the perfection that you achieve is utterly astonishing. Thank you for creating your channel and such incredible content. I am always so over joyed when I see a new upload
I'm glad to hear that, man! And thank you so much!
Just the voice as well! The voice is calm and assured. Brandon, do a podcast.
I’m not a machinist, I’m a soldier. However, I really appreciate just how much knowledge it takes to do what you do. Something is very relaxing about watching this, parts look great, awesome production value, you got yourself a subscriber!
Right back at you my soldier friend!
He is the only machinist who explains what is being done from the "break it down to stupid level" all the way up to the calculus-based knowledge to design a project to see it completed. That is why I find his videos so entertaining and relaxing. I LOVE MATH and calculus, ohysics, and sciencey stuff.. However, one of my daughters is directionally (north, south, east west) and math challenged says, "Apples and oranges were never meant to be added or multiplied; they were meant to be SEPARATED!" She can write and edit papers like somebody who has a PhD is writing!
Much appreciated, man. And thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
There is a fine tradition of machinists in the Army, still a few around. An instructor I met at former FT Lee was a military vehicle restorer. Got bored of Jeeps etc & was building out a WWII Mobile Machine Shop. All the tools were commercial off the shelf, in fact the military TMs are now some of the better manuals available. And if course the tool set included a shaper. 🙂
What a roller coaster today. I went from watching CEE make an adapter with tapers this morning. The whole time I was wondering how much more would be involved if you were to do it 😂 both turned out great. In machining there is truly more than one way to skin a cat.
You saw that too! 😂 It's the end result that matters
Another fine example of your attention to detail, not just the machining, but the camera work to. thanks for taking the time
Much appreciated, Robert!
Wow your lathe shots are a lot brighter
Very impressive build! And a LOT of work making the video explaining each step in this process. Thank you!
As my Grandad was fond of saying ( as it relates to mushy threads) "Slow down Shane, we're in a hurry, and having to do it again takes time"
I really like that
The rotary fixture table is always so nice to see! It really turned out quite a versatile tool! Chamfered rounded corners are also so cool!
I'm glad you agree! 😆
It's my belief that hex dies are for chasing existing threads and round dies are for cutting new threads. What do you think and what have your experiences been?
Nah not really. Both can be both but you can get descent result with a die if you just take a couple of passes with a single point cutter before hand
Yes, split dies to cut a new thread, the split gives the ability to adjust the thread somewhat, or do a couple of passes. The die nuts should only be used to renovate an existing damaged thread.
I've heard people say this, but otherwise have seen no evidence elsewhere to support it. I've used both types to cut threads with no issues.
Dies are used for both creating new threads, as well as cleaning or repairing dirty or damaged threads. Dies designed for creating new threads are made with high speed steel, as opposed to re-threading dies, which are made from carbon steel. Thread dies are available in the split round adjustable, or hex varieties.
Correct, hex dies are for chasing threads not cutting, that's why they're Hexagonal in shape so you can use a wrench on them. To the ppl who will say "well I've used hex dies for cutting threads and it worked just fine yadda yadda" well you can also use a pair of pliers to pull your nose hairs or a Deburring tool to cut chamfers or use a wrench as a hammer but that doesn't mean that's what they were Designed for.
What a satisfying video. The warmth in the videography, the casual stroll through the process, and the gratifying ending was just awesome. Thanks for this half hour!
My pleasure! Thanks for following along!
A hole being made the right size is just boring to me. But two pieces of metal get permanently fastened together is absolutely riveting.
Project kits like this are really fun to watch. Just seeing the ways you mix it up is very entertaining.
I'm constantly impressed by both your attention to, and skills at achieving, the aesthetics of your work. On lathe threading: An old tool and die maker who gave me some training told me to, whenever possible, single point thread a part close to finish and then use a die to finish to size. He said this saved a lot of time and greatly reduced the risk of spoiling the part. Thanks for such great content!
I've heard about that technique but never took the time to try if out. I really need to though because 80% real time in single point threading is the last few thou getting it right 😆 Thanks, Bruce!
@@InheritanceMachining Indeed. Also: this is a valid use case for hex die nuts. It is not widely realised they are not intended for cutting threads from scratch, and it is risky doing so in anything stronger or tougher than mild steel.
Turned out beautiful, as expected. Looks like a longer handle is in order for bigger dies.
I'm more worried about that little m6 thread snapping off 😂 Thanks!
@@InheritanceMachining It's like a shear pin, just a much harder to replace one.
@@ADBBuild exactly. I discovered the same intentional failure point on my mill's quill handle a while back 😂
i enjoy watching the work you do not because what you make, but because the quality of the work you do.
What a great project! You're only getting better! I have a tiny machinist tip that may help when using a coaxial indicator. When I set one up I use my indicator stand without an indicator in it to hold the body arm from rotating and thus not influencing possible error. Hope that makes sense! See ya on the next one!
Thank you sir! And that's a great tip. I used to do that exact thing but came to prefer just using my hand though i see now what you mean about possible up/down deflection causing error. I should do a test to see how much that affect it!
2:00 lol love the mug
Beautifully made, and up to the impeccable standard we've come to expect on all of your projects Brandon. A real pleasure to watch.
You are very kind, Dave. Thank you!
I'm not a Machinest just a Mechanic but I enjoy watching you make quality Tools, your humour is just the right amount as are the Side Projects.
This man and his puns. It never gets old
So glad to see you tackle this one. I bought two kits... because I know that I am going to f*** up something 😄
Honestly not a bad idea 😂
I worked in a machine shop for a bit and they had a tool post mounted version of one of these! They made hot rod brake conversion kits, so little pushrods where a common item to have to machine, and it made threading a few dozen at a time a breeze.
Where did the moustache go?!?
Momma says that only
I love watching your videos even though I'm not a machinist. I like to apply some of the engineering aspects of your projects to some of my woodworking projects!
Hey a lot of this stuff is pretty broadly applicable if you have an open mind 😁 Glad your following along!
@@InheritanceMachining thanks for replying and always providing great content! I recently designed a computer monitor mount made of wood and I got to apply some of the engineering principles I learned in your videos. Many thanks and keep up the great work!
Quality as usual you need to find a huge project where you can display all your skills, bravo.
Everything you make, one would never guess was done manually. Absolutely beautiful!
You are very kind, but thank you. Scotchbrite works wonders 😂
wohoo a new video always gets us exited
As embarrassing as it is, I'm confident enough to say that it took me two days (thanks Patreon!) to figure out how that clutch works and it's basically nothing. Ah, well, today I understand more than I did yesterday! Edit: Also, it's nice to hear "long time viewer" and be included. It's been a great time!
Ok, so how does it work? I can't figure it out
@@samwise098 So, the die-holder assembly spins freely on the shaft, but when the handle is pushed or pulled the cones move outward and the die holder stops. The part I didn't get was that because you're putting forward force on it, it feeds the die into the part, making the cut. I . . . Huh. Do you run the lathe in reverse to get it off? Otherwise I guess I don't understand it. Point is the clutches just stop rotation, it's the operator pushing forward that actually begins the cut.
That's alright 😂 First time I saw the mechanism (in Jonesey Make's video) I didn't quite get it until I saw it in action. Also your description is exactly right. And I do have to reverse the lathe to back the die off. Probably could have made that a little more clear
@@InheritanceMachining You're making a machining video, not a reference manual. It's all good, I just nerd sniped myself. :D
As always, your machining, video technique and machining skills are a pleasure to watch!
So much beauty in the underpinning of our entire society - making things to make things.
I guess a tap follower would be most appropriate. Beautifully done. Thanks for another enlightening and entertaining video. Would a somewhat longer handle help with those bigger dies?
Thanks Bruce! A longer handle would most certainly help but I was honestly surprised the little M6 thread at the base didn't snap off with the force i needed to hang onto it as is haha
Beauty is in the Die of the beHolder.
26tpi was a favourite of G.H Thomas, one of the old masters of British model engineering, he had a close association with Hemmingway kits producing kits for some of his tooling designs. As others have said 26tpi is B S cycle and British standard pipe threads. Nice video and work, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Hey, it’s manny again here. I am probably an expert at picking back up threads, it’s one of the first things I had to get really good at and not because I just wanted to learn it, it’s because I messed up threads “a lot” when I was learning how to do it. I even have a BIG magnifying glass that has LED’s to see and get that carbide point aligned up perfectly. I still need it at times even years later. Glad to know others do it and I’m not as big of a moron as I kept telling myself I was. 😂 I like watching you create, I love being able to work with my lathe the “JFMT J1C 6240 w/ same apron as yours” and I finally acquired a mill, so many more opportunities just opened up for me. Which means a whole lot more magnifying glass times in my near future. Keep inspiring it trickles down to others.
Someone is making a cam for that lever action slop in the future.
you say "the perfectionist in me" as it was a bad thing, your tools only come out as amazing and good as they always do, because of the perfectionist in you :)
It’s such a pleasure to see you at work.
This is a nice elegant project. Thanks for the video!
That’s a clever little tooling accessory! And brilliant work as always
that's an old holder style that goes back decades when i apprenticed the lathe had one similar mounted in a manual indexed turret tailstock with a rack and pinion feed to move it versus a hand wheel on an old Gilman lathe . the die holder had a stirrup type yoke fixed to a fined pivot to pull the die forward and back
Thank you for the consistently excellent cinematography.
Greetings from Australia, great to see another vid, top quality work as always.
At school we had a similar tool. It had a spring system and you could twist it to add or decrease momentum.
Your YT video title game is getting better, man! Love this title. A cool title like this is usually much better than a title describing the actual title
I watch your videos because I work as a mechanical engineer but rarely have any feedback from the machine shops I subcontract to. Watched all your videos. Thank you for all the insights and showing the mistakes! Such a great learning material!
I've been in your shoes! Glad they can be helpful
I have never seen one of those. Brilliant. Beautiful job of machining, I love your videos and I am subscribed. Thanks.
Wooo I'm finally caught up! I absolutely love all your videos and watching the proses of all your projects from start to finish
Woohoo! Thank you very much
What an incredible device! And beautifully made too.

Best use of Hemingway instructions I have seen!
Great video. When the black knob showed up on screen a little voice in the back of my head started chanting"BRASS...BRASS...BRASS" and you delivered. Thanks for that.
Pleased to see the drafting machine on your desk. My dad had one on his desk. Watching you build the tool is very educational.
This guys work is just so beautiful
There are at least THREE ways to cut male threads: single-point, with a threading die, and by ROLLING them. Commercial fasteners are almost always rolled. Rolling is faster, cheaper in large quantities, and results in a stronger fastener. It is required for aerospace and military-spec fasteners.
such a joy to watch a master at work :D
I've never watched a single one of your videos before, but the thumbnail for this came up on a synopsis/essay video for an episode of The Walking Dead that I consider to be my favorite episode. The entire time that I was watching that video, I kept looking over to that thumbnail and becoming more and more interested in whatever this video was or could be; I'd have to watch it to find out. So after I finished that video, I clicked on this one and figured "I'll give it a minute or two and if it doesn't grab my attention, I'll see what else this channel has to offer and go from there." I watched the entire video, enthralled at how intricate the process for making this die holder was and honestly, the parts where failures were shown and all of a sudden I didn't feel so bad anymore about when I go a little too far on my wood lathe and my bowl becomes a funny looking funnel. You did a great job of holding my interest throughout and I feel like I can take away something from investing my time in this video. Rad. Also: CHAMFER EVERYTHING.
really enjoying your vids lately, the education mixed with humor is great. Keep up the good work!
Much appreciated!
Great workmanship as always and this turned out to be a very practical tool. A longer handle will make handling the torque easier from the longer leverage and it's only a longer threaded rod.
Great video! thank you for your time making this🤩
I can watch you “chamfer” all day long. Brilliant build of a very useful tool. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😀
Your movies and your voice are my therapy 💆♂
its so intriguing that i didnt even realise that i had watched it for 30 mins. I properly zoned out into the video.
always a pleasure watching you work.
Nicely done with the strategically placed coffee cup graphics. Your sense of humor is clucking hilarious. 😂
Cool build it literally took me to be looking at the finished product to see how it worked....My grandfather would say something that rings true to your ethos...whenever he said something was excellent he would add "with brass knobs on" at the end......so here you have it.
haha nice. I might need to incorporate that in my vernacular. also same on the mechanism. had to find a video of it in action the first time I came across it. I think it was a Jonesey Makes video
I too inherited a bunch of tools and wish i could do the justice to them you show in all your videos. Good on you for honoring past generations and those that made us who we are.
That’s a great idea to put the board across the way as you were sanding. I’ve been considering something like that and just haven’t done it. I appreciate the unintentional encouragement for me to do that to protect the machine.
Sure thing. That board actually doubles as a drop protection for when I'm swapping heavy chucks. never actually dropped one, but would hate to damage the ways!
I have been watching your work for a few weeks now. All very nice, looked for the Hemmingway kits after this and was surprised they are here in the UK definatly the best version I have seen. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for not being afraid to include the math-y bits. I love that hypotenuse stuff 👍

Thank you Eric, and thank you @InheritanceMachining !
As a resident of New Hampshire, thanks for the shout out/reference in the title, lol.
Great video! I am thinking about buying a mini lathe, but then I watch videos like this and I second guess myself. It is an intimidating hobby to get into.
great vid and this project was amzing to watch...your video production is top flight and thats what keeps me glued to the screen
Love it! Great work, nice chamfers, and such a great tool. I have not seen the clutched design before and enjoyed watching you make it. Thanks!

I have to admit my guilty pleasure is binge watching your videos. The combination of your voice and the precision of your craft just scratches that itch. If there's anything I can do.
Thank you, sir!
Here I am feeding my son in the dead of night. Imagine my surprise when I saw the video drop. Now is watching the video the side project or is feeding the baby the side project to watching the video. Awesome work. Keep it up.
Very satisfying watching your projects 👌 Cheers Chris
I'm so glad i'm not the only one that has to use tape with the thread wires. I paint the ends of them so i can find them when i inevitably drop them into the chip pan
Love your videos. Keep up the great work. I wonder if it would be possible to build a collet style mount for the adjustable dies without making the tool too long. Also, is that the box of shame, or the box of imperfection? A little of both?
Love this and I can’t believe I’m actually becoming familiar with what tools you need to use!!!!!!
You're going to have a lathe before you know, it, Sally 😉
I really cant leave the urge to comment on this video to thank you for all you amazing videos, im learning to be a mechanic and have nothing to do with the work youre doing, but still i love these videos, theye are calming, interesting and fun to watch and i learn a lot that i can maybe later even use. So thanks a lot for making these amazing videos!
I was just saying how a lot of this stuff is still applicable in a lot of other areas! Glad you like it man!
The die holder turned out really nice. Great work and project as always. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Joe!
The only channel I follow that I get giddy when there’s a new video. Then I realize how many orders of magnitude above the home hobbyist he is! Well done!
I think that's a bit of a stretch, i just have a good editor 😂 But seriously, thank you 🙏
Man I love watching you videos you can come up with new and exciting tools
Some sort of black inlay wold look amazing in the handle grooves. Keep the great videos coming!!!
I'm just here to appreciate the video title. Beautiful work there 👌
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Like Hemingway stuff as well. Had a lovely and interesting telephonic conversation with someone there in UK once. Thanks again and keep them comming please. So nice you are candid about yourself and your mistakes, actualy a breath of fresh air, makes you very human.😊
I always find pleasure in being the guy to tell everyone about Inheritance Machining being the best machining channel on KZhead and that I discovered it first under my pears... until today (I study mechanical engineering 3rd year at stellenbosch University South Africa) my machine design Lecturer shared the link of this channel on our lecture slides. He suggested we watch your videos to show how things should be done. So unfair... now everyone in my faculty discovered your channel.
😂 I'm not gonna lie that's pretty awesome. I do appreciate you spreading the word while you could though!
Brandon - what a gorgeous tool, and I can see that it works to perfection!
Thanks a lot, Ron!
Fantastic content, this is only the second video of yours I've watched but as a Tool and Die Maker myself I can appreciate a talented artisan when I see one. Keep up the great work
Thank you, sir!
Very cool. I've wondered for a while if there was a middle ground between using dies and single point threading. If nothing else, it's definitely good for prototyping.
0:24 a trick i have learned is to support the back of the thread die with the tailstock (which should be a flat surface), letting the handle rest against another part of the lathe to transmit the torque, then by hand rotate the lathe chuck and thread it that way, that works pretty well.
