Steve, May I ask, what you do for a living…..your job!!….🍁
@wesbiglin4845
Would be helpful to identify the grinder tooling make and model, where might buy? thanks
@davenicholson3491
Awesome video Steve. Could u direct me to where I could buy one of those cutter grinder angular vices? I have a surface grinder at work and could really use one for acutely grinding form tools. Cheers.
@tedmattingly7564
That's some beautiful property and I love to play in the water.
I've had that same engraver for over 20 years and it's still working great. A quick tip is to hold it a little more straight up and down, and hold it fairly loose. It will make deeper, cleaner markings
@tim9lives
Really great video Steve. Always enjoy them. Beautiful stream. What state are you located in ?
@EngineersWorkshop
Steve's bushings are here, Steve's bushings are here! Here's how they'll be used… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoJIpfS_3lI
@ColKorn1965
What is the name of the fixture that you used to grind the HSS lathe tool?
@ColKorn1965
One good reason to have or know someone with a cutter grinder: when you have engineers from several customers who ask for non standard counterbores that they pull out of their rear ends.
@ROBRENZ
Enjoyed Steve!

Your not wrong about being busy when you have a channel , mine is only small & with work & new home shop build i don't have time to scratch myself ! I really like the t & c segments cheers .

11:13 AvE Torque wrench!
20:06 Don't go saying those things. Doug over at SVSEEKER will just say your a fear monger. He claims that shattering fiber grinding wheels off a hand held grinder can't do much damage. Many told him he was full of it and they've seen horrific accidents in person using those things…nope, he can't get it to happen so it doesn't. I like what Doug Jackson is doing, but there are times where that guys ego makes me wonder how he can get through a door.
@alienphysics8592
Steve, you were talking about finish so here's a few cents worth. Mr Pete and very few others spoke of and demonstrated a "sheer" tool , essentially a simple design on HSS. The quality of the finish was incredible on soft metals ( mirror finishes), i.e. copper, lead, alum, brass, ect. and on steels was a generally a nice finish as well. The price of using such a tool of course was that you must make LIGHT cuts, which as a final last 1 or 2 passes wouldn't be too bad in my opinion.
I don't have lathes anymore, other wise I would test the following idea's ….. buy a few round carbide inserts, make a special holder so you can "slant" the insert at a steep angle such as the versions done for the grinding and usage of Mr. Petes HHS " Sheer" tool. You could also create a similar cutter for a boring bar and hopefully achieve incredible internal finishes … again though at the price of light cuts.
The reason for the round carbide is that you can EASILY rotate the insert for a fresh edge. Mr Petes Sheer tool has a rather sharp edge and I'm not sure if a round insert with a slight radius on the edge would work, however if it had a nice sharp edge might be a different matter ……
Essentially I think the idea of using a Sheer Tool has been mostly undiscovered and or overlooked as a viable way to get a nice finish on at least soft metals, and often wonder if a Sheer Tool might even work nicely on plastics …
Just my thoughts …………. good videos
@shawnmrfixitlee6478
great work Steve .. I sure ENJOYED !! .. Thanks man..

@bcbloc02
Surprised that picnic table down by the creek hasn't been swept away! Did you ever do the 5 block test on the grinder to see what you got? I am still not sure by that grinders design you could entirely get rid of the table rock. I think you would need longer ways to get it all gone as It appears to not be fully supported the entire length of its travel. I wonder if you added weight in the chuck area if it would help? Maybe try putting a suitcase weight on the chuck and see what that does for it. Improving the center of gravity to over the ways would probably help a lot.
@davidstansbury3204
Hey Steve, another great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge, what type oil would you recommend for a Acra Turn 1340 headstock? I just got this late about a year ago haven’t used it much it’s a little low and I just want to drain and put in new oil. And if you don’t get right back to me I will cry and complain and hold my breath 😝 thanks Dave in Louisville.
@JBFromOZ
I watched an awesome video by Don Bailey, on grinding fast and accurate, as you say here about feeding fast and getting great results.. video here if you are interested… https://youtu.be/7FwL55ErfDI
@flatheadronsgarage7345
Good project. Hit the target nicely. Grinder turns out to be a keeper 👍 I made parallels for all the kids in the neighborhood getting familiar with mine. Your videos are always good watching. I’d like to try a small shaper or a cutter grinder for my endmills someday. If someone is in a hurry for something maybe this isn’t the right forum for their question. I understand you do have a life and I’m happy whenever you can find the time to respond. Doesn’t matter when…don’t change Steve, you rock 👍👍👍❤️
@rmccagle
Steve, I ground tooling for thirteen years… Not much I haven't seen as far as cutter grinding. If I can help you at all let me know. I also do a little grinding for others if that helps. I have a harig step tool and a Kao Ming universal with air flo. Great videos!!! I really enjoy watching. Rcagle530@gmail.com Take care.
@garybouchard827
nice video Steve
@e.d.s.inc.shandon9133
Nice job on that lathe tool. On the Grinder that I just got I hand ground a carbide tool that had a sharp tip to a radius, It did a great job. It is a lot of fun grinding your own tools to accomplish a job. Nice job on the part as well.

I hope when you start making t-shirts you'll have a slogan that says 'Its basic really'
@dragman377
Another informative video….thanks Steve.
@kejay74
Hi Steve,
Just curious, as there was no tolerance apparent on the 0.641 thru hole, could this have simply been a 41/64" drill thru & saved some setup and time?
Thanks for the videos!
Ken
@izzynutz2000
Those of us who know knows what goes on in a machine shop we're just glad you take the time the share your shop with us don't worry about the naysayers… If they don't understand it's probably because the tips of their pencils got broken.. thanks again Steve
@kevinhornbuckle
Thank you for the torch maintenance tip. I need to do that to mine.
@imysteryman
You ought to try a Norton 3sg or a 5sg ceramic wheel on the surface grinder, Benefits – High removal rate & extended wheel life, they don't heat up a part near as much either
@woodscreekworkshop9939
Steve, so happy to see your grinder is a keeper! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
@jeremydoblinger3609
Nice grinding on that cutter Steve, Greetings from wisconsin!!
@apollorobb
Steve I love the Quantifiable Almost exactly's you work in i think they are pert near the pretty close almosts i work in lol
@dmorse1000
Any fish in those creeks? They would be full of brook trout in upstate NY!
@paulcopeland9035
416 has a lot of chromium in it. Makes it pretty sticky. 416 is magnetic as well.
@TheTacktishion
why do you use no cutting oil when drilling or boring….?
@jonnafry
Great vid ..with regards to the more aggressive grinder cut … excellent tip … just to quantify a little … what was the first cut vs the more aggressive cut in thou?
@danielesilvaggi
Was the outer diameter an issue as I never seen you bring it down to any specification? When you went to part it out it did not look round as you were cutting it.I may have had a couple pops before watching this so forgive me if I missed something. Great videos as always.
@eXactModellbau
No worries! You can not anneal HSS! Keith Fenner, for example, braced in HSS toolbits.
@eXactModellbau
Please do not start promoting WD40. 😉
@martinfaulkner2546
Another great video. Thanks Steve, snowflakes are more common than rain these days, in my opinion if you don't like what someone says, don't listen. Digging the hoodie.
@SupraSmart68
Steve, try a coarse white wheel on your grinder for roughing HSS.
@TomokosEnterprize
Great to see you again this Saturday Steve. I always really enjoy your posts ! You are sure at home on the tool grinder. I so wish I had one of my own. Doing hands on has always pleased me.Having the creek right past the shop and house sounds soooo inviting. You have a wonderful spot there fella ! It is always a pleasure to sit back and see what you are up to these days my friend. Great visit bud.

Hiya
@AmateurRedneckWorkshop
Nice work on the engine part. I still wish i could sharpen my end mills.
@danmetzger5583
Looking forward to seeing you at the Bash! Are you coming alone?
@gh778jk
You're right, that 416 definitively benefits from some higher RPM's. It's odd stuff…. I'd swear it's leaded… but yet it's still a bit 'gummy'…

Hi, Steve
I've had the same Craftsman engraver for over 50 years now, and it still works perfectly, and I mark most everything with it.
For HSS I usually use a electro marker, as it is much clearer, and deeper on very hard material.
Love your work, and dedication to the craft.
I hope to see you at the Summer Bash.
Tim
@mealex303
Will making bigger gears for the old lathe increase its speed?
