December 03, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 13 – Have You Checked Your Oil?
After over a one month hiatus, Max and Justin are back with episode 13!
Some of the things we talk about include:
Max has had limited time in the shop. What does work always get in the way of what we want to do?
Justin purchased a sub $200 USD digital read out from eBay. He calls it the Shenzhen DRO. And so far it has been pretty good.
Justin’s new lathe – a Standard Modern 12×30 Utilathe. It was terribly dirty.
Which leads us into maintenance. Why do so many people neglect equipment?
Max goes into the wonderfully simple cone style plain bearings. Keep it clean and adjusted!
Bearing preload
How do you keep track of all those oil points?
The importance of way oil
Chuck lube. Let the debate begin. Max and Justin like getting sprayed with oil apparently.
A live stream episode with Stefan Gotteswinter and Robin Renzetti? Let us know your thoughts!
All that and a few tangents (would it be a show without a few?)

October 02, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 11 – Shop of the Future
In this episode Max and Justin decide to prognosticate about what the home machining shop of the future looks like. 50 or 100 years down the road is it going to be full of modified CNC machines, or will the electronics on those machines render them scrap and only the old school manual machines still be in use? We talk about
Max’s sea foam green stamping fixture
Max is working on a new TV stand for the house
Justin finished his tailstock tap and die holder
A new mill drill for Justin’s shop. Did he make the Rong choice?
The Dodge Omni and Shelby GLHS
Do all VW owners hate Honda owners?
Max’s hatred for all things Digifant
Laser bandsaws
Motivated millennials: will they keep CNC machines going?
Are we living in an golden era for home shop machining?
Will the cheap tooling end?
All that and much much more!

August 16, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 9 – We Are Finished!
In this episode Max and Justin talk about finishing and both agree that they are terrible at actually finishing projects. In fact, it is amazing that this podcast is still being recorded and not sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust waiting for completion. It did actually sit for about a week until Justin managed to finish the editing! In this episode:
Justin finishes his toolpost for the Schaublin 102 and now is onto making proprietary arbors for the tailstock. Why do watchmaking lathes seem to always use proprietary tooling? (Max’s Rivett is no exception)
Max made a quick and dirty ER11 collet holder for the Hagar mill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHO_IefxoA8
Stefan Gotteswinter is mentioned numerous times.
We talk about the cool planetary backgear setup on the tiny Craftsmen 109 lathe, its only redeeming feature.
Max’s hand wheel for his Rivett:

As usual after about an hour into it we finally get to the topic du jour: finishing. We look at all sorts of angles but find ourselves looking forward to the next podcast guest!

July 21, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 8 – G’Day Mate
In this episode Max and Justin take a trip down under, and back to the future, and talk with John Creasey, an avid home shop machinist from Australia. As usual the discussion topics vary considerably, but we do talk a bit of machining. In this episode you’ll find:
John and Justin get a little teary eyed over the Queen. Don’t worry – we don’t break out in God Save the Queen
Australian politics: the laws of mathematics are no match for the Australian government!
John lets us know he has 2 Myfords. His first was purchased by his father when he was 16. Let’s here it for great Dads!
Electric cars, VW Vanagons, and taking things apart when we were kids
We talk about scouting, ripping out hard drives, and rip apart day
Stefan is mentioned numerous times
Did Max forget to empty his shop dehumidifier?
Arduinos in the home shop: Edu Puertas (stop motion) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtDnvVeoqlKzpquM7IsNA and the Arduino lead screw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaBK9teKUaA

July 04, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 7 – Work Holding
In a first for us we manage to get an episode recorded, edited, and posted in about 2 weeks! Don’t worry we didn’t skimp on the quantity of the recording – this episode is a long as the rest of them (note nothing was said about quality!). In this episode we talk about work holding and tool holding in general. Apologies for our voices – we both were recovering from colds. Highlights include:
Max gets his turret finished just in time for Emma’s tool making competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe3ACUzET7Y Check out the pile of chips on the watchmaker’s lathe:
Justin is inching (what is the metric equivalent?) towards getting the Schaublin 102 up and running.
Someone opens a beverage. Identify the time and send Justin an email: [email protected] to claim your prize!
Justin is recording in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm.
2 Jaw independent chuck? We talk about one:
Justin and Max are big fans of ER collets. Maritool is a great source for production quality stuff at reasonable prices.
Stefan Gotteswinter gets his mention.
Use your 3D printer, or a 3D printing service to make soft jaws for your vise! Or a fixture setup for your face plate.
Clamping nuts – we don’t know what they are called but Max made up a set of them. Identify them, send Justin and email [email protected] and claim your prize!
Max thinks Justin should build some die holders with driving squares in them like these ones:
All that and much much more.

June 14, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 6 – All Scraped Up
Despite our terrible bantering in episode 2, Stefan Gotteswinter decides to come back on. Max and I think perhaps he might be suffering from poor judgement. In the longest episode to date we talk about:
Stefan’s 1200 km drive to take Richard King’s scraping class and he lets us know some of what he has learned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO9GW0tAOIQ
Push or pull scraping?
Justin still can’t get over Stefan having Japanese power tools. Isn’t there a law in Germany against this?
We talk about Bosch
We talk about machining titanium
Max is busy working on his turret for Emma’s tool making competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_VHt6j_xtw
We talk about bearings
And there might be some beer talk. Wrong podcast. Again.

April 30, 2017Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 5 – Cake Decorating and Hauling Iron
After getting confused as to what podcast they are recording, Max and Justin talk about hauling machine tools home. Of course the stories keep getting better and more ostentatious the more they are told. We also talk about:
Max’s work on his Trent Pinion mill
Change gears on the lathe – you don’t need that 127 tooth to cut metric threads all the time. Max finds a really well done gear calculator on the internet: http://geargenerator.com
Justin gets a Delta Rockwell surface grinder for the home shop and tells the story about dragging it home in his father in law’s truck
Max can’t be outdone: 7 Hjorths, an overloaded van, pouring rain and a flat tire
Any other Hjorth owners out there? Send us some info!
High speed grinding attachments
Decorating cakes perhaps using This Old Tony’s nice rotary table (Max’s wife probably isn’t interested though) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny5Xxwwpkxs
We go through the now not so latest March / April 2017 Home Shop Machinist Magazine (our favorite magazine by far!) http://www.homeshopmachinist.net/marchapril17/
