MACHINE SHOP TIPS #24 Acme Threading Part 1 tubalcain

[phooesnax]

awesome job..... stumbled across this looking at wood lathe techniques but we have a metal south bend in the family and I may end up watching all of your videos.

[felderup]

possible to get ahold of a measured drawing of an acme thread gauge, for making one?

[akadecoy]

Wow, aaa rex tool bit. I've got a few of those...at least 30-40 years old.

[eyeammi]

Believe me when I say, I would have been one of those 3 kids hanging on every word. Now you have tens of thousands of eager minds as a testament to your valuable work. Allow me to express my gratitude as just one of your many viewers and to offer my congratulations on your success as a teacher. (the world's most valuable profession in my opinion)

Keep 'em coming!

[priority2]

You are an excellent teacher...love all your videos:)

That gauge looks like a flat piece of precision-cut metal, so more likely than a Chinese person, the new version would be made by a robot with a laser. That is still inexplicably located in China for some reason.

wish I would have been in the front row . now I know what that gauge is for that Ive had for years thanks as always keep them coming Have you ever thought of putting you videos together and sell them at a moderte price as a box set type of thing would be xlnt for teachers and guys at home easer to put in a player then turn on computer Thanks

[mrpete222]

@730M Thanks--yes--I may be offering just that soon.

[blacksmith5402]

I like all of your videos could you do a video on cutting Brown and Sharp worms on the lathe thanks bill

[chiefer99]

You rock sir! Another fantastic explanation.

[PWalsaki]

Dear Sir, Do you ever wondering if you are making a difference in the world through your YouTube videos? Please allow me to tell you that you are doing a phenomenal job in help many people learn the correct way to do many shop operations. Don't ever believe that you are breaking it down too far. There is always someone who does not know or understand and the level of detail you provide covers everyone and that is great! Please keep up the great great work. You are really helping many.

[billygotgrove]

Your videos are great. I'm watching them while taking metal shop in high school. You have so much information its amazing.

[ahz123]

@BestCatEvaDontHateMe I believe he's commenting on the deplorable state of China's labor laws and how Chinese industry cuts corners.

[cjkullman]

I was wondering if you could do a video on sharpening countersinks. I struggle with getting them sharp and cutting correctly once they are dull. I have watched most of your videos and have learned a ton. Thank you!

[TribalEclipse10]

The comment about the barefoot boy and schlitz beer cap honestly made me laugh out loud! good work man!!!

[MGARestoration]

Thank you for the quick reply to my threading question. By trial and error I had arrived at the process you indicated. It is the only I could see of not loosing my reference point. Keep the videos comming. Best Regards--

[MGARestoration]

Great video as always! I have an old Sececa Falls "Star" lathe and it does not have a dial to indicate when to engage the half nut when cutting threads. Have you made a video or addressed the subject of how to cut threads on a lathe with no dial?

Thank you again for this lesson.

[mrpete222]

Respond to this video... Use this method--never disengaging the half nut lever. Watch this video--search Thread Cutting Closeup

[GK1918]

Perfect I have done this in the past and I have no tool gage.. Just making a cardboard

temp. of the root works for me. Also any tips on making a radius ball cutter thats

my next project. SP

[cannonball666]

You said Roadrunner liked Acme. It was Wile E. Coyote!

You certainly know machining but I know my cartoons! ;)

[BlindCompass]

Thanks for the videos, wish they taught machining in my HS.

[TheRealAndroid]

Do you not have to account for the helix angle of the thread? Or is that included in the side relief?

[mithigarcha1]

another great video , i was waiting for a vid on acme threads from you, and again thanks for making , uploading them, i check every day for your updates and you are a wonderful teacher ,,thanks and keep them coming...

[turbinedoctor]

You got me hanging on the edge of my seat for part 2. Thanks again for all of your great videos.

[mrpete222]

I'm using a HD camera now. It takes over 10 hours to upload a video. I might have to go back to the old format.

[Geebuv]

@mrpete222 480 is plenty good enough. I think the only time HD is important is when image quality NEEDS to be in 1080 or 720 but for educational videos like you make 480 is perfect!

[Petawatt]

I was worried things were a little quiet from you, it seems that the youtube RSS feed skipped over tips #20-23 (including my requested micrometer episode).

YouTube must be having growing pains, because I'm having to buffer the videos instead of stream them too.

Anyway thanks again. I'm sure I'll enjoy the four I have queued up for the moment.

[zippy308]

I waited a long time for this series and you have done a great job ! I found an acme thread gauge but the tool gauge is what I am missing. This clears up some of the mistery on Acme. Thank you

[mrpete222]

THANKS--glad your in the front row because the kids behind you are throwing rivets.

[apowellz]

I was looking forward to this video and I am in the front row of your class! I wish I had taken shop in school, but I don't recall that it was even offered at my school. It doesn't matter now, even though I am nearly the same age as you, I now have a great shop teacher to learn from. It is very enjoyable to be in your class.
