Drawings and Models for Turning Saw Pins

Hey everyone! Yes, this was an off-schedule video, in order to line up with Rex's release. I hope you enjoyed it! Here are the drawings and 3D models for the pins I made, in case you'd like to make some. There are two drawings- the ones I made, and a new version with the flats on the larger disk. This is a late design change that we made because the small flats didn't work as well.

As always, these files are also available on the shared Patron drive.

This video brought me to your channel (I saw it from Rex's feed). The woodworking jokes were all spot on! I'm more of a machinist than a woodworker at heart, but hand-tool metal working is even more thankless than hand-tool wood working, and until recently I had no power tools! My lathe arrived shortly before your collaboration with Rex, and I've been going through your videos since trying to stop myself building a shopping list of kit! Looking forwards to watching some more.

I actually have thought about doing an inset DRO view... the challenge is that multi-camera setups pretty much double the work in producing a video, and I'm stretched thin as it is right now. All the "multi-camera" setups you currently see in my videos are fake, in a sense. If I do an operation more than once, or the project has multiple parts, I'll cut those operations into one sequence so it looks like a multi-camera shot on one part. This makes for much more interesting video than one "surveillance cam" on the entire operation.

This was a great little video and I loved the reveal about what the new slitting saw arbor was for...I had spotted the old arbor in the intro and thought "didn't she just make a new one of those?" I was watching this video and another one and I wonder(particularly on things like this)...have you ever thought of doing an inset "DRO Cam (tm)" window to track just what the DRO is reading and what you're seeing while machining a part like this? I don't know if it always would be useful, but I know it would be really interesting to me. Love the content, and keep up the good work!

I agree about the crappy arbor (having previously viewed your new arbor vid, nice job, there). My rant wasn't aimed at this part, just an example for observation in general. Anyhoo, glad to be a patron, and really like your honest humor, keep 'em coming!!

Leaving the shaft oversize before cutting it is an interesting idea, but I think turning it down to final size would have been difficult then, because the center wouldn't function properly anymore. The thinness of the part wasn't much of an issue, really. It was just the length of the part and the crappiness of the original commercial arbor that made it harder than necessary.

I know I'm gonna come off sounding like a K-I-A here, but....well, I kinda am. @ 9:45, just leave the big-girl pants off and put on your tin-foil thinking cap! , no (belay dat).....That should be the first thing! A word of wisdom here; Always go into any project, especially when breaking new ground, with the idea; "That you are CREATING A NEW RECIPE, for success, not disaster. " !! That way, you'll be like Abe Lincoln: "3 hrs. sharpening axe, 1 hr. cutting tree" --quotish quote. In this case, with all those fine details livening up the business-end of this part, it would be best to keep as much stock (just aft of the slotty-slotty pokey-pokey bits) as possible, then back to the lathe, to reveal the remainder of the skinny bit with threads, then the easy part (and also where the 'signature touch' should be added) the "handle stop-collar / saw bumper". I realize that's a lot of counter-intuitive babble-on, but it does prevent a bunch of aggravation and I have seen the RECIPE approach proven much safer too!

Neat!
