In this video I'm turning a stainless steel M20 nut into a tiny adjustable wrench. All three parts are completely made out of one single nut. First I turned the thread and the hexagon away on the lathe. After cutting a slit into it I was able to open it up with the help of a torch. A few heats later I had a very straight and flat piece of stainless steel. I first went then on the milling machine and milled the whole part to the final width of the wrench. I then cut of a piece with the hacksaw to make the body out of it. With a tiny t-slot endmill I was able to mill the t-slot very nicely with a very low feedrate and a lot of oil. After milling the square hole and drilling the deep 2.1mm hole I started to shape the outer contour. Then I moved on by making the movable part of the wrench. I milled it all in one operation with very careful steps to not risk and chatter marks or whatsoever. After filing the square bit round I sanded the rectangular part until it fitted nicely into the body. I then cut the M2 thread and cut the piece off with the hacksaw, assembled it with the body and sanded both parts flush. Then I started rounding off all edges with needle files, sandpaper and finished it with very fine steel wool for a brushed finish. All what's left to do now was making the knurled adjuster nut. For that I forged the remaining of the nut into a square piece, which I could clamp in the four jaw chuck on the lathe.I turned it round, supported it with a live center, put the knurling onto it, drilled and tapped the hole, chamfered it and parted it off. Then it was just a matter of quickly assembling the three pieces.<br />This was a very cool little project for me. I really like how it turned out. It's a very cool little item in my opinion.<br /><br />I hope you like my work and enjoy the video.<br /><br />Huge thank you to all of my Patreon supporters and especially to:<br /><br />Adel AlSaffar<br />AK<br />Alex McGeorge<br />Alfonso Baz<br />Alistair Moor<br />Arron Metcalf<br />Ben Sigelman<br />Bendurion<br />Brenna Redpath<br />Chris walter<br />Dane Prince<br />David Barker<br />David Lehnus<br />Edward Conway<br />Embiss<br />Haitham Al Zir<br />John Shebanow<br />Joseph Kamps<br />Josh Ledford<br />Josh Wasserman<br />Joshua Bentley<br />Joshua Scher<br />Kar Marsten<br />Kerem Yollu<br />Lambda GPU Workstations<br />LordPi<br />Mellissa Marcus<br />Monte Gibbs<br />Nathaniel Jack<br />NoLoneSurvivor<br />Pat Thrasher<br />Peter Riddett<br />potokslow<br />Robert Brindley<br />SophieHDLM<br />Steve Bothe<br />StevenVR<br />Tyler Carruth<br />VaushVidya<br />Vickie Bligh<br />Vince Valenti<br />Will Black<br />Xavier Carbel<br />Yale Baker<br />Yuri Zapuchlak<br />Adam Holtzclaw<br />Alex Findlay<br />Alipasha Sadri<br />Andrew Phillips<br />Arni Bjorgvinsson<br />Bonnie Williamson<br />Brett Pitts<br />Brian Hoerl<br />Chad Bryant<br />Charles Copenhaver<br />Crystal Cash<br />Damien Fuller-Sutherland<br />Daniel Trejo<br />Daniel Varga<br />Dave Hardware<br />David P Hruska<br />David Powell<br />Evan Serrano<br />Grant Daniel<br />Haley McFadden<br />Hard_Boiled<br />Jack Curry<br />jake meckley<br />Jeff Smith<br />Jeremy Cole<br />Johan Vergeer<br />Joël Franusic<br />Justin Blackwood<br />Ken Rosso<br />Kevin Robinson<br />Kurt Gazow<br />L Rlta<br />Lina Machina<br />Marc Cerisier<br />Marc Staedelin<br />Mary Casella<br />Mellissa McConnell<br />Michael Lamp<br />Mossy_Forrest
