Air Bearings: Machining

For trihedral socket, you can use 3 ball-bearing on round socket. It works very well 👌

What is the porosity of graphite

Fantastic tutorial, I like the very detailed breakdown of the operations.

-> Is the carbide vs steel shank on the boring bar important? Perhaps it’s stiffer?

GOD BLESS YOU ADAM. LONG TIME NOT SEEING YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TEACHINGS AND LOUIS. I AN STILL IMPRESSED FOR YOUR GREAT CAPACITY FOR TEACHING AND PERFORMANCE AT THE SHOP. YOU ARE VERY INTELLIGENT AND VERY INSPIRATIONAL!!!

Couldn't you broach the triangle?

Your narrative and explanation of minute details are INSANE !!! GREAT.

I can't believe you put an end mill in a drill chuck. The run out. Do you also use your calipers to scribe lines? LOL

I'm no dentist yet this video has helped clarify a few things. Ty.

Is it possible to build a super precise lathe with these bearings?

Where is part 3

I'm a professional engineer...and I learned so much from this video. Great job!

Can you tell me what kind of graphite material this is? Is it ordinary graphite that can be used for high-temperature molds? I wonder what kind of process is used to ensure the porosity of the porous? Thanks for your answer

Dude, nice video but please go metric like the rest of the world

What type of Graphite grade insert you are using and the type of epoxy to glue, I really enjoy the video. Thank You

where is part 3? have I missed something

In this video series, you keep referring to the videos by their Part number ("Go back and watch Part 1..."), but you did not include Part number identifiers in the titles. Could you refer to the videos by their titles, or better, add Part numbers to the titles of multi-part videos. Thank you, and love your work.

AAAAAAAAAGH, you got your HSS tool blank so hot it went blue! that alters its heat treatment properties.

There is nothing hacky or otherwise shameful about drilling a flat bottom hole with an end mill. It's perfectly acceptable practice. Trust me, it's done in industry all the time.

For the ball you can put it in a drill chuck and a little lapping compound would be more accurate

gotta love the scorn x'D

dude i love the intro music

A detail: increasing material hardness does not increase stiffness.

hope I can buy these air bearing modules... many of us (actually most of us) don't have a lathe...

99% of the world want's to thank you, for putting all the metric values. Videos with fractions and imperial units are just hard to watch and understand.

I'm 4 minutes into this video and had to pause ... to put my noise-cancelling headphones on, settle into my seat so I can give it my full attention, hit "Like", subscribe and write this comment. This has amazing educational and production value.

you present very well.. Good technology.

Excellent!
ATB, Robin

Clever intro

You are awesome really

Oky im soory im not firpic

You gotta appreciate the crooked numbers of the imperial measurements.

I learned a lot, I just wish if I have a workshop like yours

Very cool, good to see you back!

We used to machine graphite all the time. Thank God we do not do that now. The hands were always shiny black tinge. Very well explained video fella.

aluminium

I very much appreciate your step-by-step explanations of machining processes. I'm just getting into simple, hand tool hobby shaping of aluminum and it's nice to see the approach and thought process.

Could you press fit 3 hardened dowel pins into the top to provide 3 hardened contact points for the ball?

I forgive you for the endmill, but not for calling it a ruler.
Team scale all the way

great informative video! On a separate note i'd recommend you buy a polarizer filter for your lens to remove glare from your glasses. Works like a charm!

Fantastic story arc, videography, presentation and editing... and a great subject that has got me hooked. Thank you for making these videos!
I can well imagine you round about 2068 doing a YT channel in the style of mrpete, who knows what challenges and solutions you'll have taught by then!

This guy Adam is awesome.

I'm very much looking forward to the next video! Great idea about using the arbour press to force the aluminium into a conformant shape with the ball bearing.

Your explanations are so clear and detailed. Presentation is very well done. The same type of accuracy we had to do in our school making machining project reports, those were pretty useless, but in this aplication of making instructional videos it just works. Good job!

The world are metric now

Great job with good explanation . In need the same thing for a tesla turbine because the shaft run with a very high speed

i think this project dead.
