(AD FREE) Part 1 - Making the KING of All Knurling Tools
🕑 Added 2023-01-05 15:00:03 +0000 UTCI'm ringing in the new year with a much needed knurling tool upgrade! A very kind Patron named Erik noticed my troubles with my current knurling setup and sent along one of those great Hemingway Kits to build and up my game. This will be the first of 2 parts, though at the going rate of this video it might take more π But I'm still optimistic. Thanks again, Erik!

The Family Size !

Thank you! haha I'm certain I will outgrow that box before too long (if this project is any indication). What size bin do you recommend π
Brandon Sander
I think you could manage with a 6" just fine but would just have to get a little creative with your mounting and fixturing. My 12" was actually a bit of a challenge in some cases just because of how far apart the t slots are. It's honestly overkill for most of my projects haha

I am looking to add a rotary table to my arsenal. If I were to tackle this project, what do you think the smallest rotary table is that I could get away with? Could I get by with a 6" diameter one? I have a Bridgeport clone, but not a ton of space to store the table when not in use. Keep up the good work!
Nicholas McNeely
I would like to see a comparison of the kit that Quinn did compared to the Hemingway kit.
James Riordan
Really well done, I particularly enjoyed your thoughtful fixturing. Now, as for your Box of Shame - since it is only a mere box, you are in a very good place; Iβm the proud owner of a bin (!) of shame !
Brandon Sander
Thank you! I'm glad they can be more than just showing what NOT to do haha
OttoTheDoggo
I really like your videos especially since I'm a beginner Machinist and your videos are very educational
Brandon Sander
I don't know why I didn't think of that... here it is and I'll update the description as well. https://www.hemingwaykits.com/HK1115

I know you canβt post any blueprints because this is a kit, but do you by chance have a link to where the plans are available?

That M6 tap looks familiar π π great video
Ralph McCoy
Sorry I was talking about swing. but a lot of calculations no mistakes
Brandon Sander
you might be able to buy the kit and scale down everything. though that's a lot of parts haha
Brandon Sander
π all in due time!
Brandon Sander
As long as we keep it smaller than a crate of shame I think we will be ok haha
Brandon Sander
Thanks! The biggest problem with that was I have yet to get around to making the rest of the hardware I would have needed.
Brandon Sander
Thank you!

I love the vid as always but I am getting confused by one bit. Why make multiple temporary fixture plates when you have the fancy universal one? Isnβt it a waste of materials?
Erik D. Radzius
Oh, I feel honoured haha! Absolute pleasure from my end. Very happy to support amazing creators. Oh, and the video's brilliant too ;)
Jeffrey Spoor
Great episode Brandon. I thought I was the only one with a box of shame, well mine is a drawer of shame lol. Looking forward to part 2

I'd love to make some kits like this. I just need to finish rebuilding my lathe... and my mill... and my surface grinder...
James Riordan
Looking forward to your take on this vs. Blondi and Clough42 !
