I made this micrometer stop body on my Atlas 618. My best looking FAIL yet (IMO)

I'm so proud of this guys! I made this body of a micrometer carriage stop on my Atlas 618 (for my Atlas 618) only to find out I made a MAJOR error. If you want to see how I made it and find out what error I made, you can check it out on my YouTube video "Journey to Journeyman" episode 6.

If you don't want to watch the video, I will tell you what error I made if you ask. I made a few small errors, and 1 MAJOR error.

Thank you........jster

I hate those little slivers too! I ones I get are so small I can’t even see them with an eye loupe! And from what I have seen, I’m not at all worried about you making it right the next time and will also elevate your skill level…Good Luck, Dave.
 
Hey thanks for the video! I like with your common sense approach on how to get it done using what you've got..

Jster, your doing well. Your doing some decent work on that 6 inch Atlas. The journey may be long but you'll have fun along the way.

Have fun and keep trying.

Jster another well done video. I am starting to think that your video set up is as good as the projects you are showing, nice and clear and good audio. Regardless of what others may say I still use my blue nitrile disposable gloves when working in my shop. I work mostly on brass clocks parts and don't want finger print oils on the brass. I am not concerned with the gloves getting caught since they have very little strength and I often will rip them just trying to get them on.

Also a good idea to reinforce the subject of eye protection, although like you I thought that safety glasses was shop 101.

Keep up the contributions. I love my 618 and like to see others enjoying.

Another fine video from jster. I have enjoyed watching your videos. You are always so upbeat and smiling, so refreshing.


I would not consider this a fail unless your part doesn't fit a 10" Atlas haha.
 
chips&more: You are so rite! Those little slivers are so small and really HURT! I have to figure out how to prevent that. And Thank you very much. I hope to figure out how to still use that part.......

WesPete66: Thank you very much! I'd love to have all the cool tools, but I don't. So I'm trying my best to use what I have. Thank you for the kind words........

fastback: Thank you so much! I really am having fun! It is a journey with frustrations, pain, but more importantly....fun. Thanks again......

David S: After getting 1000 slivers, I plan to use the gloves you're talking about when I use the mill attchment. I'll keep that off camera. That will be our secret;-) I love my 618 too! Thank you very much......

barlow l: You are so rite! Maybe this isn't a fail. I like the way you think, LOL! And thank you so much for the reply. I really have a good time. I'm a 1/2 full kinda guy........
 
Nice looking part there. Too bad about the mistake. I can't say I have never been there before.
