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.

These videos could be 2 hours long and I would still watch them.

*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!

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.

This has easily become my favorite YouTube 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 YouTube channels period, and I subscribe to literally several hundred, which are mostly Well done, and I eagerly look forward to the next video!

[aethertech]

Best machinist content on youtube, not even close. The music, the voice, the camera work, explanations, everything is perfect.

More side projects, please.

[BZEDAKING]

I legitimately can't wait for each new video man this is good stuff 👏👏

[wesleyhryszczuk]

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.

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.

[silaskefalas]

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

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 👍

"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.

[jeffkeen]

Who knew that 'Army' was the collective noun for multiple toolholders? You learn something new every day!!! 🙂

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?!

[deanharris]

Love the channel. Not preachy, fun to watch, and real. Especially like you keeping those machines busy making things.

[iancorybutler]

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

[kirillpmarshall]

I’ve been binging 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!

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. 🙂👌❤

[ezekielmadia]

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.

[jm_mort]

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.
