Back to the regularly scheduled programming of making machinist tools, I'm tackling an old favorite. The machinist jack. The concept comes from a very generous viewer who allowed me share his idea on the channel. And it was a perfect match for my current lack of machinist jacks, but also for my normal over-complicated style. But it's not all for nothing. From what I can tell this is a revolutionary design. So join me as I bring this new idea to life!


Enjoy!

PATREON - Making a PRECISION Machinist Jack || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to the manual machine shop! In this video I’ll be prototyping a machinist jack with a few unique design features. The original idea comes from a very nice follower who shared his idea with me and I’m excited to share it with you as it solves a lot of the common problems with typical screw jacks. As always I spent a little time at the drafting board engineering the design (mostly) based around the tooling I had available in the shop. The final design is made from A2 tool steel and one of the key features that sets it apart are the knurled clamping collars that replace the standard jamb nut designs. Additionally there is a 2 stage threaded mechanism that uses a very coarse multi start thread for quick adjustment. Then ultra fine threads for high resolution allowing for precisely setting the jack height to within one ten-thousandth of an inch. Most of the work was done on the metal lathe as well as the vertical milling machine, but I used my previously made rotary table chuck adapter to maintain my references as I bounced back and forth between the machines. And it worked flawlessly. #inheritancemachining #machineshop #hobbymachinist Thank you "Micrometer" level patrons!

Finished the lathe work on my first one... now for a good side project... like the saw arbor cause my school doesn't have one lol...

Chris Williams

All mill operations are still needed... but the rest of the milling shouldn't take to much time to do...

Hi I'm new to patron what's up tho lol

Matt.E

looks like you are using 2mm mech pencil. What's the pencil sharpener??? great content as usual!

Jim

I've never attempted multi start threads before but this might be a good excuse! Love the "hack" of doing it with the compound set sideways and using straight infeed. I kind of want to make some interchangeable anvils out of brass for more delicate workpieces.

Inheritance Machining

It's pretty clever! I actually got a suggestion from someone to try it by indexing your chuck (If it's a D1 camlock), or by indexing you change gears. Lets you keep the compound at the preferred 60 degrees.

Art who? I was wanting to look at some of his other work
