We’re working on the next batch of red drill indexes 😯👏🏼 I’ve learned it’s best to touch the bottom with the precision flat stones because one small ding or burr will throw the engraving depth off. I’m really liking those finishing touches with the logo facing and Deburr 👌🏻 Machine- @milltronicsusa VM3018 Vise- @toolexworkholding Double Station with snap-lock machinable 4140 steel jaws Engraving Tool- @helicaltools 3 flute 1/16” ball mill #abom79 #abom79drillindex #milltronics #helicaltools #tecoworkholding

Customer wants 1/8” taken off the radius of this commercial meat slicer part. I was told the machine fell off the table and was damaged. It was repaired but the alignment of the blade was off and they needed some material removed. The boring head worked great for this. I’ll have a full detailed video on the YouTube channel. #abom79 #manualmachining #boringhead #machineshop #industrialrepair

This is an old mandrel I made years ago. At 14”OD it was the perfect size for the 13” fixture by I need. #abom79 #manualmachining #lathe #machineshop #waltertools

The 3 jaw chuck was in need of a good cleaning. Year of chips, mill scale and grit had worked its way in the scroll threads and giving me a hard time opening and closing the jaws. The job was made simple with the help of the @crcauto Universal Degreaser. It made easy work cleaning and blasting away all of the grit & grime built up in the threads. I decided to go with the Dry Moly Lube on the master jaw threads this time and see how it performs long term. #abom79 #crcauto #crc #machinisttools #machineshop

Turning a fixture from some plasma cut 1” steel plate for a custom adaptor. It’ll be drilled & tapped for bolts, allowing me to hold the aluminum workpiece for the final operations in the cnc mill. #abom79 #machineshop #manualmachining #lathework #manuallathe
