A tight tolerance long internal keyway is no joke. This has become a great repeat job for my shop, as nobody else has been able to hold these tolerances. The vertical slotter is the machine for the job, and is not found in many shops.

The Anchorlube was thinned down just enough to spray mist. No real recipe was used, but just thin enough to work. It has worked amazingly well for this job. If you are interested in trying out Anchorlube, here is a link to their amazon store.

    I hired a young kid out of HighSchool (in my shop) he told me it wasn’t a Crescent wrench it was an”All steenths” wrench. He explained,t,was a four steenths a five steenths a six steen…..Oh, boy. He became one of my best friends. I loved his warped sense of humor. He died of a brain aneurysm at age 60. I still miss him. Keep on using a Crescent wrench, Sir!

    Good morning from Nacogdoches. Adjustable wrenches make the world go round!! Keep it up!!
  • @roliver64111
    well i have to say every machine in my shop has an adjustable 12" wrench on it right now i use them all the time!!!! really like your videos so keep them coming.
  • @mfc4591
    Adjustable wrenches are fantastic for brass fittings, pipe fittings and couplings with large surface areas as well as for taps, square headed bolts , well that's almost everything !

    I, am a mechanic. I, build engines from time to time, also. Not, a machinist, by any stretch of the imagination. Love, watching machinists work! You, guys are such critical thinkers! Watching, just reinforces my thoughts, that everything needs to be as close to perfect, as humanly possible, to work correctly and last.
  • Hello Topper i couldent stop laughing when you said, now im ONLY yousing adjusteble spanner 👍🤣 Big thanks for all your amazing videos. Thanks from Denmark
  • @Rustinox

  • @tomessary4099

  • @GaryBruner
    Some people are always trying to find something so they can criticize. They are perfect people. Keep up the great work.
  • @StuartsShed
    I don’t like it when you send me bundles of cash. Had to be worth a try. 😂
  • The "Anality" of the "Anti-adjustable" cadre is ponderous in it's "excessive verbosity" lol
  • @edsmachine93
    Nice work Josh. That Vertical Slotter is quite a machine indeed. Best machine for this type of job.👍 Thanks for sharing. Have a weekend.
  • @rodjava
    Great vid. My first time to see anybody use that slotter!
  • I keep my Metric and SAE adjustable wrenches in the same drawer! Sacrilege! Cool video Josh!😎
  • @nobuckle40
    I love your sense of humor! It's the nature of the beast for those of us that create content, we open ourselves up to all sorts of criticism. Some people are just petty!. Keep on doing what you do, the way you do it.

    Some guys really overdo it on the AnchorLube. It looks like a giant bird shit green turds all over their shop. Looks like you have got it dialed in. I am still not convinced it is not just bars of Irish Spring dissolved down in water, and put into a bottle. I learned once that it will rust your brand new Kurt vise if you don't wipe it up in a reasonable amount of time. Since then, I became not so much of a fan of the stuff. ---Doozer
  • Love your shop and the work you do. I have a 10” shaper, its old but it works. Shapers are underrated and that vertical one is awesome.
  • @peteengard9966
    That machine is awesome. It didn't even sound like it was struggling to make the cuts. Good job on the naysayers.
