Out with the old and in with the new. I'm finally making a more camera appropriate set of soft jaws for the lathe. But whatever you do, don't ask me how long they took to make.

Enjoy!

PATREON - These Will Save My Parts

Most of the time I use the 4 jaw chuck on the lathe, I also use some makeshift soft jaws to protect the part finish. But my shoddily thrown together jaw covers look like an afterthought and don't necessarily give me the warm fuzzies that I like to have when using my tools. So today I’m spending way more time than necessary making something that will look a whole lot better. I guess they will work better too… but mostly they will look nicer. #inheritancemachining #machineshop #hobbymachinist Get the drawings for this project here: https://inheritancemachining.com/?product=softjaws Patreon (Early Access + Ad Free + Drawings) - https://www.patreon.com/inheritancemachining Drawings Store - https://inheritancemachining.com/?product_tag=drawings Merch: https://inheritance-machining.myspreadshop.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inheritancemachining/ Website - https://inheritancemachining.com/ Amazon Storefront (affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/shop/inheritancemachining Thank you again to the Micrometer level Patreon members listed at the end of the video!

Damn this work that keeps me from watching someone else work!

Rob

Only problem with getting the video's sooner is there over sooner. :( Sorry about the broken mills Brandon. Expenses will be climbing LOL

I was a while back gonna comment about maybe making some soft jaws. Never got around to it but here you are having made some really cool jaws. They are more useful in a manual machine shop and I am guessing you’ll be getting a good bit of use out of them even if they likely won’t pay off in time investment any time soon like the rounding fixture

Jeremy Henry

I absolutely love how you push the extreme envelope of aesthetics in all your work and the function is (usually) perfect. Can't wait for this long weekend so I can have a go at making your captive nut puzzle. Thanks for everything you do. This channel is truly inspiring.

Craig Jackson

May be your best video yet. Saw some new skills showcased.

I read your mind apparently haha yeah I think these are going to be one of my very frequently used tools. Almost ever lathe job of mine ends up needing soft jaws of some sort

Thanks man! If I'm honest that's one aspect I spend a ton of time on. It's tricky getting things to be both functional and good looking. Good luck on the puzzle!

Ralph McCoy

Instead of cutting the pockets out vertically go in horizontally ? Then clean out which ever way.

Rvator

Agree with Rob…early views=over sooner. The mix of materials are very Steampunkish. Wonder how you would build the Nautilus? Lots of brass, copper, rounds and chamfered edges. I sense you have a little Captian Nemo in you 😎. Thanks for another great episode.

Jeff Loffert

Beautiful design and execution as always Brandon!

Nikolaas Noyez

Parts that claim that flute-length doesn’t matter, are shallow

Michael Faragher

See, I'm one of "those guys." The ones that expect things to last forever. So when I see replaceable wear components, I like. Simple as.

Kyle Wellman

Well, i now have a new subject to study in my spare time. Matrix algebra. Never heard of it, but i have a graphing calculator i bought on impulse thinking, surely this will come in handy someday. Thank you for giving me an excuse to call that thought true!

Kyle Wellman

Side note, i am returning home with final materials needed to complete the foundry. As fun as it looks to machine all those pockets, it just seems perfect for an attempt with a casting and machined to dimension. May be a while yet, like all the projects i have in my 'binder o' drawings' that largely say Inheritance Machining in the bottom right corner, but i will let you know how it goes.

Erik D. Radzius

Oh Brandoon, you do spoil us 😁 When you told me you actually used the gauge pins for a project already, I doubt I would've ever guessed what the project was, and yet, as always - I'm pleasantly surprised. As well as that, the shoutout definitely made my day 😅 P.S. - the matrix algebra section gave me PTSD style flashbacks to my second year of university, so thanks for that 😂 P.P.S. - the use of the square tool for the rouded corners in the boring head is absolutely brilliant. I think I might have to borrow that idea at some point.

James Riordan

Masterful - just great. I was fabricating a part for a vintage car restoration this morning, decided my aluminum jaw covers might mar the finish, and had to dig out a set of lead pads - love the interchangeable insert design !

Louis Noel

The script writing in this was *chefs kiss*. The speedo joke, jaw-ometry, etc. I’m only a few minutes in and I had to stop and comment!

The way I've kind of looked at it is that if there are a lot of repetitive calculations to do, there's usually a way to do them with matricies. Would be worth just being familiar enough with how they are used

Inheritance Machining

You would honestly have a faster result with that method 😂 I spent SOO LONG milling those out! That's exactly what a binder of drawings is for. There when you're ready!

Absolutely Erik! Thank you again for sending them (and everything else 😉 ) I have no doubt I'll be using them a lot. I wish I took matrix algebra at U. I had several classes that needed it for the coursework and just pieced together enough to get by. And then made the mistake of taking linear algebra my final semester 😭 I don't really know where that idea came from. Sometimes things just pop in my head!

Michael P Andersen

You should definitely make a tool for removing the pins without damaging either the pin or the soft jaw. Sortof like a plastic drift punch but maybe with something that slips over the steel to keep the punch aligned? A good use case for a 3d printed tool, I think
