This Part Should Be a Test For all Machinists........

As usual, the teacher teaches new holding techniques for tiny pieces of metal. Jewelry in disguise 😊

Your planning to avoid potential cockups is unique.

Sooooo, the next machinist challenge for the BarZ get together? I have learned so much from watching your videos, and for that I am truly grateful

As you were discussing setting up the angle in minutes and second, my brain screamed, jumped out of my head, and ran out the door never to be seen again. I guess I'll have to get into management..

As you promised the other day here is that tricky beast in person. This piece is exactly why they "The smaller the harder the piece will be to achieve. Then throw in a directional turn or 3 and you really have a piece to give you a headache. Mine is moderate but really not wanted eh, LOL. This is /has been a really neet one. Thaanks I think, LOL.

Man Joe you can humble a guy real quick ! I have a lot to learn your the Daddy !

You are truly amazing. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. There is a saying that if someone cannot explain something simple enough for you to understand, then himself don't have enough knowledge of the subject. You are an excellent machinist. Thanks for the great content. Riaan.

Hi Joe, Another incredible piece of work. Being miniature any error is magnified. Cheers from Oz, Dennis

The process here is amazing. This video is full of gems. Also - the early stages where the key set up moments are shown quickly at higher speed both saves time and provides a full view of the important aspects of the set up - that's excellent presentation. I wonder if you would mind making the short refresher on using the rotary table dials its very own video to make it easy to find in the future? I know you have other videos on it but that was the best summary and presentation on how the dials work that I have seen. Cheers Joe - making a complex little part like this by the numbers - inspirational.

Grinding Vises in sizes from 1 1/2" up to 3 " are super handy and cost almost nothing. i bought two RÖHM grinding vises New for less than 150 Bucks. i know they are import vises but they are accurate to almost a tenth in terms of squarness and paralellism and flatness . i highly recommend a tiny one and one 3 vise. the options u can do with them are so versatile !

Retired chemist, old school lab equipment used vernier scales for some pretty fine measurements. It’s the ONLY bit I won’t watch twice…or more.

As usual Joe another awesome video masterclass. Your methodology and thought processes regarding workholding are truly mind boggling to me as a hobbyist. Right now my mind is well and truly boggled 😮 your shop gem of using a vice in a vice for holding parts is something I used while following your tutorial on the pm research #1 engine, cylinder oblique ports. Such a simple idea yet it gets you past so many workholding problems. Also your mini fixture plate is a must have item. Finally Joe I would recommend your mill skill maze to all budding hobby machinists this teaching aid is superb for honing ones skills on the mill. I will leave you with one of my own "shop gems" if you mount the mill skill maze on a rotary table on your mill, then you have an almost infinite variety of maze/puzzles to traverse. Never get bored doing that. Thanks for all that you do for us mere mortals. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Regards allan.

Wow. Joe, that was Tremendous. Respect.

Well done Joe, the shop gems are priceless, it reinforces the need to continually challenge yourself with demanding pieces. It’s all about the how.

I enjoy watch every one of your videos amazing just doesn't do it justice thank you for sharing

I'm not an engineer/ machinist but watching this is truly inspiring, the skills, knowledge and how you present you have Sir is nothing short of amazing, I do hope there are apprentices learning off you at the shop, it also has to be said that the YouTube videos you present to all of us are highly educational and helpful at whatever skill level and knowledge base we have. Thankyou, tip of the 🎩 to you

WOW Joe! This was some impressive work on a milling machine. My initial take was that this part would have been done on a watch makers lathe like a Lorch. Damn this was good! This part would be easy if it was several inches long. But the small size and requisite precision was impressive.

That part is a beast. And the result is stunning. Well done! It will be some time before I try something that challenging...

I said it before and I'm going to say it again... I wish you or someone like you would have been my shop instructor. Your vids like this are very thorough and extremely informative. Thank you for showing us this.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Reminds me of the days I spent making taps for Western Tap and Die in So. California in the 80's. 👏
