I made some more spark plugs for my V-8 engines I keep breaking them while moving the engines around. I did have 7 or 8 extra but now down to 1 so I decided to set up and make a dozen or so. I decided to video the steps I used while making my plugs. For a qty of plugs I set up my NC mill to turn the parts as an NC lathe. I have done various lathe jobs on my mill when I have a few to make (call me lazy) it get monotonous so I let the NC mill take care of it. Anyway here is the first video I try and explain how I start.

Hi Doc,
Pity cool!
The mill sounded like a jet winding down once you had cut the part...you must of had it wound up!

It was running 6,000rpm

Yeah gods! At that speed I hope you’ve got it bolted down! :lolb:
Thanks Doc. My mill can only do 1/3 of that!

Hay Doc
Thanks for taking the time to make those videos of how you manufacture your miniature spark plugs.
I found them both entertaining and informative. :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:
Waiting for your next 'how to' videos.

Hi Doc,
Thanks for taking the time to make those videos of how you make your miniature spark plugs. I have a hard time getting anything done now, much less if I video it. So I know how much time it takes, thanks again. I would be interested in seeing the G-code you used for your insulators, if you would be willing to post it or send it to me. I still haven't got the best handle on writing it yet.
Thanks
John
