Composite Master Square Construction

Did you ever do the carburizing and grinding on this? I'd love to see the finished product!

Which material did you use for this project. Apologies if you said and I missed it

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing. I love your videos!

Something from the woodworking machinery world.... a 1/8NPT thread would allow the use of a headless pipe plug that has a nice shallow taper to it. Would make getting the gnat's hair adjusted out.

That poor acid brush!

Me too Acid Brush, me too.

Out of curiosity, why did you mill the slot for the feet rather than slitting it?

I don't understand why you needed this; it looks like you already have several right angle reference surfaces...?

but how did they do the first master square?

Nice

I'm finally buying my mini lathe tomorrow after many years of wanting it lol. I cannot wait to make some chips!

You been to IOM TT? Sticker on weld helmet. You do. Anything with motorbikes?

why do they use that vertical saw thing. is that like the big guns for milling flatness?

I'm the kind of guy who does stop and think about it. Who goes for coffee and thinks about it some more. And STILL takes it out of the vice with a few features needing machined...

We have a drinking game where we drink every time you say "Uhhhhhhm" Lol
We were drunk 2 minutes in!!!! Hahaha ;)

When ever I made weldments, they were always stress relieved first for stability, then Heat Treated for hardness and then drawn back.

i dont know if you mentioned this in the video, but what material is this master square made from?

I know this is old
This was sent for heat treatment? What kind of steel was this? The base (1st part) looked like 2x2 1/4 hot rolled?
The sides might be tool steel but look like plate?

so unless you area tool maker I would prefer to see you add value to someones requirements....................big tools don't create big worth without some purpose

Is there a follow on to this? i couldn't find it

Did a follow up video ever get made? The heat treat and final finishing?

So! How's the square holding up? Is anything moving? I hope not! fingers crossed

I love it

Never made a part 2? Did heat treat really mess it up?

What happened to the follow-up to this video? Did the Composite Master Square go pear shaped, rather than square shaped? :-)

It is very impressive to see how aggressively those professional machines go through material

So where is the finished results video???

I just watched the LB lab tour video with John Saunders this morning, so when I saw 'composite', I was thinking glues, plastics, layers, you know, composites.

When you were working on the lightening holes, I would have swore you were milling a composite material. I began to doubt that, when it 'clunked' on the vise, just a little, as you sat it down.

Sounded like steel, then I started thinking, why would he need to lighten composite, THAT is why they are used, composites are already light.

It was the grinding that confirmed my confusion. When you said composite, you meant multiple part...

Ah well, it's been one of those days. My morning got interrupted for about 3 hours when a dare devil squirrel was immolated by a tranformer, which then exploded, knocking out power.

My day never recovered...

Guess I need to go back, and look at the first milling sequence, to see what I thought I was seeing...

Thanks for sharing... still blown away by where you get to work.

Love this video, watched it a few times now.

You do amazing work! Love the channel.

I LOVE this video (and all of yours Tom!) .. I am sorry if I am missing something- is there a follow up video to this, inspecting after getting it back from heat-treat and finish grinding etc? I would love to know what happens from here! Thank you

Like the Isle of Man sticker on your welding mask

Where’s the follow up!?

How's the square's stability so far? Any measurable changes?

with the grinding wheel, do you notice the wear across a surface like the side of that object?

Was their ever a follow up video of this after the heat treatment or did it not survive the process

Loving the TT sticker! Greetings from the Isle of Man :)

I enjoy your videos. A suggestion for a name, Slide Form, or Tap Form, kinda obvious but simple and easy to live with.

how can you flatten a surface with an abrasive wheel that ITSELF wears out each and every touch it has with the surface? wouldn't that somehow be a point?

спасибо за видео! лайк за труды

как только придет коррозия точность закончится

Ничего не понял, но выглядит фантастично !!!

Классная работа. Почти как у ДМ! Мечики у Вас очень хорошие. Жаль у нас таких не делают. Успехов Вам!!!

Ox i know someone getting rid of a marvel saw if you know of anyone..all so there is an acer mill TIGHT and a miller 250 dx water cooled. i thought i heard 3500 for the welder..there was a few looking..

Great job !!!

Nice one. A follow up, anytime soon?
