Great video, Don. The best part is that even after so many years of doing the work, and so many years away from the hands-on work, you still have a passion for it.

These videos are just getting better and better. Thank you for sharing, Don! (and camera guy, can't forget him)

I love micrometers and telescoping gages too, Don. It is a learned skill, though. You have to develop the feel, as you have mentioned. Many thanks for another interesting and informative video.

Any shop that is going to purchase an Internal Grinder should seriously consider investing in a variable speed spindle motor. The operator can make a "K" wheel "act" like a "J" or an "L" wheel by decreasing or increasing the wheel speed. A wheel "acting'" too soft will break down too much, and a wheel "acting" too hard will load up. This is especially important in a high volume production setting. The operator in this video talked about wheel hardness and was aware that the wheel was "acting" too hard. Excellent how to video.

I was an internal grinder at a machine shop in the early 90s. Learnt from a really smart man. It was a challenge somedays. Turning into a lost trade. Now cncs do it at my workplace.

Great tip on the bowing the spuindle to get a couple of tenths and to prevent it from dragging coming out.

Thanks Don! Your experience is clearly evident.

Another excellent video Don. And it's amazing just how well you've maintained that fine touch after being out of the shop for so long. Very interesting to see what a good mike and a good set of telescoping gauges are really capable of in the right hands. I can see I need a few ring gauges and lots of practice.

Thanks for making these video's Now I want a surface grinder!

[davestrong]

great video, need more craftsman like

[brianu]

I agree. I've always had good luck with telescoping gauges. Great video ! Would like to see you cover wheel types for surface grinding materials from HSS to soft steels.
Watch all your videos. Great job and Thanks !

Another great lesson from suburban tool. Thanks for sharing your time

[nineringsh]

I really enjoy your videos. Hope some of your knowledge rubs off.

[spirotagnw]

I am grateful you are sharing your knowledge and experience these are days where computerized machines crank out mass quantities of things but none very good the handcrafting of parts is a dying art. I'm telling you I find your videos terribly interesting, I'm not a machinist nor can I afford this as a hobby but you are inspiring me to get out in my shed and build some simple machinery and by using your techniques and knowledge base build better machinery and more complex machines.
thank you for sharing.

thank you very much its so interesting, from lennart in sweden

Don, great video's... Thank you...!

[davidjames]

Thank you very much. I am a hobby machinist building small compression engines and I have been using telescopic gauges incorrectly. The ID and OD of the cylinder and piston must be perfect otherwise it wont run. Today I've learnt how to use a telescopic gauge, TQVM.

thanks for all your experience your freely sharing. much appreciated !!

thanks for the videos.

I work in a machine shop, carbide manufacturing.
o.d. grinding /step & taper all from senter's. making my own arbors. sunnen honing. blanchers. wish I had your lapping table. but I use Diamond compounds. even machines pressed powder before centering to rough core carbide.
