My Brother-in-law rebuilds high end racing transmissions. He sent me this job but never did tell me what it is. I am guessing it is for his transmission work.

Simple 4 jaw and mill job.

    Nothing to add just an obligatory algorithm boost for the channel. 👍👍

    Josh- " I got it all bored and milled, you can pick it up." Brother in Law- " BTW, did I mention that the hole has to be perpendicular to the tapered block"

    ahhh, family. My SIL was crying his AC was out in his old ranger in the summer. Said he had to wait a few months to save up for the $900 quote he got. Had leaking accumulator and condenser. Located the parts locally (aftermarket), $225 and 5 hours later, his stuff was fixed. I didn't have anything else planned for the day, but he was so appreciative of it.

    gotta love those precision 'Paint Marker' layout lines....

    Great work. I think odd one-off pieces like this are where shops like yours really excel! One question that came up when you were boring it.... have you ever had an odd-shaped piece come out of the lathe while its spinning? Thats got to be terrifying in the moment!

    Truly a professional job, it's nice to watch someone who knows what they are doing. Thank you for sharing.
  • I haven't seen the live center, dead center trick used in a long time. Thanks for the reminder. I'll most likely need to do that in a week or so.
  • Well you did a good job of making it whatever it is. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

    Besides being entertained I learn something with every video..good job.

    I did not expect to see you today, so that makes it a nice surprise. I do not know much about machining, but I thought it was neat how you were able to put a odd shape into you chuck. I hope that the part works well for him. It is always good to see you. Thanks for your work on the project and the video!!!!!!

    I like the thought process for setups.

    Good afternoon Josh, thunderstorms here, as I settle in to watch this with a fresh hot brewed coffee, thanks for sharing, and have a great one
  • @ellieprice363
    Good job Josh. I wondered how you were going to machine the angle on that odd shaped part. Your years of experience paid off; the part didn’t slip and it turned out just right.
  • @cj7jeep81
    Those clamps look like they'd be really handy, will have to keep an eye out for them.
  • @shuntawolf
    Cool trick to get the hole centered!!!! Gonna have to remember that!!!!
