MAKING A BETTER ADJUSTABLE TIR LATHE CHUCK

Making an adjustable TIR lathe chuck from a standard 3 jaw chuck and backing plate. Showing a way to stiffen the chuck body and load the chuck body in compression using a needle thrust bearing arrangement. Callibrated adjustment screws allow precise adjustment moves.

Robin, such a clean design - Love the super close fit fine pitch screws.

Thank you so much for taking the time to film and share this design.

Babe, wake up, Robrenz uploaded a new video.

A new Robrenz vid. The holy grail of YouTube machining.

Not a criticism at all, but sometimes I watch your videos to fall asleep to 😅 I figure maybe I'll learn something even if I fall asleep mid video lol, subconsciously. Love the chuck idea!

I especially like the re-purposing of the socket head cap screw! When you started talking about the elongation of non-homogeneous constituents and the grain structure of the material in the direction of working during forging I really got excited. Bravo!

All the best,

Tom

Had to push out watching this video until I had enough time to watch in one shot without distractions. lovely work as always Rob

Wow! Dan Gelbart. That's a name I haven't heard in a while. I worked at Creo when it had 150 people. Dan let me have access to his library of precision design texts. Learned buckets from them. Enjoy your posts!

Spent the first 12 years of my career as a toolmaker, specifically mold making. Spent the last 27 years applying the skills and techniques learned and that you are documenting of precise toolmaking techniques.
It’s amazing to me the tools we make do with - fixtures and machinery, that were never thought out to the level of precision that toolmakers demand.
Keep up the good work, and the awesome documentation of our trade!

Ditto what everyone else said! You are a treasure and a blessing!

[EricBrummer]

If only we could clone Robin and fill a university program with him instructing. I wish even half my instructors were as skilled, knowledgeable and capable of communicating this effectively. Always fantastic useful content.

[Garthinyus]

Hoping you and yours are well this season, God's blessings on you all!

Robin, you truly are the goat when it comes to this stuff. You should have millions of subscribers just off the knowledge you have and all the little gems you throw into each video. I have to watch your videos multiple times to catch them all. I very much appreciate you for all your hard work, especially for putting this all into a video for us to watch and learn.

Once again I feel like a half-wit freshman who wandered into a grad class, but even I can learn a few things for today and a lot of things to look forward to trying in the future. Thank you very much for all the time and wisdom you've put into this.

Robin, I design custom chucks and tooling and I must say, your videos are always insightful and I love watching them to learn new tips and tricks for improving my designs. Thanks!

[floodo]

That shot with the giant orange c-clamp and the indicator coming through the bore was the most mad scientist thing I’ve seen on this channel hahaha
As usual, thanks so much!

[idpromnut]

Today was looking to be a soul-less day, full of software design and problem solving for me. Thank you so much for lighting up my day with your precision design, manufacturing and assembly of cool things!!! :D

[Designments]

I'm grateful every time you post!
Your video on spindle bearings guided me to design and construct my own spindle for my Quorn tool grinder protect using DB ground bearings. Thank you! I know I'm not alone in appreciation of you sharing knowledge.

[agusdrummer]

Put the kids to bed, kill the phone lines. Brace yourself for a proper learning session. Robin, the way you integrate planing and execution, theory and practice ist just wonderful and so accessible that it always makes me believe I could achieve something within this realm of precision. Of course there's it's only wishful thinking still.
Thanks a lot professor.

Rebrenz, I am an electronic engineer and I understand only 50 to 80% of what you are saying. The main reason I watch your videos is the passion and the motivation you put in your job. It inspire me in what I have to do. There is only way to get stuff done: pure and crystal clear perfection... or at least always try to.... Many thanks from Italy

[francisrampen]

Just a quick note to say how valuable and appreciated your vijeos are even with the limited rollout - you are a mensch!
