Extended Small Cross Section Milling -- No Problem !

I would never have imagined such an approach. I feel like I learned something important from watching this. Thank you.

My primary take-away from this one: when planning the order of operations, remember that they're not necessarily the same operations in each possible ordering. I had a jaw-dropping moment when I realized that you were going to leave much more support for the final pass than I initially thought was possible. This just reinforces my faith in my method for approaching difficult tasks: I ask myself, "how would Joe Pie do this?".

Yet another great video Joe. Being a 60 year old apprentice looking over the shoulder of a true master of his craft is an honour, and with no interviews for the position, what a bonus. Thank you so much for sharing that wealth of knowledge.

Another technique for the arsenal. Thank you Professor Pie.

Very nice. You are the master of making small parts.

I’m just a garage amateur. I would have never thought to do it that way. I would have been trying to take 0.050” off and turning the part four times like Joe did at the end.

I just love how you go the plans one better and machine delicate small parts. I realize that the "plan" designers, are trying to make the part easy to make. Even so, Your methods ALWAYS come out on top. A little extra time and effort is the way to go, to make outstanding finished parts. Stay cool, and have a cold one, in the shade, Texas DOES get a bit warm, this time of year. ;-)

Makes perfect sense once you see a professional do it. Thanks for the info !

I always learn something from you, as they say"every day is a school day" Thanks again

I would've loved to see one of the cuts in real time and perhaps list cutter speed for reference. But hat's easy enough to figure out.. Anyway would find that helpful. However I cannot fault the value in what you have presented here Joe, this is huge. I generally make medium to large parts in repair work, but on occasion small parts or some sort of fixturing is needed. You sir have elevated my game in that respect exponentially. I learn something new every time you post a video. Thank you sir.

Joe Pie, on today's episode of sharing next level wisdom..... Thanks Joe!!

Very nice Joe ! Can’t wait to see what this is leading up to . 🤔 !

Joe, You never cease to Amaze me with the tricks you come up with!!

Wonderful idea, this will assist a project I'm involved with right now!

Joe - please do a segment on approaching the hand filing of a semi-finished part..I’m sure I’m not the only one that has screwed up at the very end of an operation by ham fisting fit/finish with dodgy filing. Bench position, file selection, order of operation, filing “assists”, etc. would be most helpful. Great video BTW.

I came running, believing you’ve had accepted my challenge in doing work on a mini mill and mini lathe but that’s not the case 😢 I really would love to see uncle Pie doing work on a Sherline or DB200 Unimat, just to be amazed by the tips and tricks you could come up with to share with us. I even wanted to make a new headstock with bigger roller bearings and larger throat but all made using these mini (micro?) machines instead of a big lathe. Well, I’m very patient, uncle Pie! Still love all videos and appreciate your kindness! You made us better machinists!!!

thanks for the lesson joe, always interesting. cheers ben.

Beautiful!

Many thanks Joe.

Very well thought out thanks Mate.
