Gday, Welcome to my channel, here in my workshop I have a lathe, Cincinnati mill, mill/drill along with all the other bits and pieces we all have in a home shop, I am self taught by watching other RU-vidrs and by asking questions, I certainly don’t class myself as a machinist in anyway, I just like to make things to see if I can do it, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t, it’s all about learning, I hope you enjoy what I do and please if you can pass on any tips along the way please leave a comment, thank you for stopping by, Matty
What a great piece of mechanical engineering eh? Well done mate 👏👏 I can’t wait to see how this all works when it comes together. Love ya work… and appreciate all the extra hours you put into the videos. Regards Robert PS We’ve had so much rain, for so bloody long, I’m afraid the whole Sydney Basin will turn into the Everglades 🤣🤣🤣 Flash rust starting to be a problem 😵💫
Gday Robert, The final video is out on the build, you'll have to check that one out for the final result mate, We've been pretty lucky here with the rain thankfully, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Hi Matty! That is a scary idea that works. I am lucky enough to have a Wohlhaupter UPA3 which has roughly the same functionality as Yours. However, Your version can be done by everyone with a decent milling and turning equipment. Wohlhaupter can be really expensive even if it a used one and it is next to impossible to be made in a home workshop. Yours is affordable. It also makes a good exercise to learn machining. Having that shuriken spinning around is really scary so one has to keep hands and clothing away from it when it is operating. Thank You for a really clear presentation and in particular for the "why is this done this way" explanations.
Gday, It would be great to be able to get a Wohlhaupter but as you say there a mile out of the price range, building this is also a great exercise in precision and keeping tight tolerances, i'm only self taught so if I can build this then anyone can, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
This has been a wonderful build to watch Matty. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I can understand how thrilled you are with the result. Looking forward to seeing it in future projects. Take care mate. Cheers Nobby
another excelent build Matty I picked up a couple of things on the way I have never tried making gears I think that will be my next course in machining Cheers
Almost missed that trick with dial indicator 😢, sure glad checked back on your build, that should be just as accurate as the person running the machine 🤔😉
Good morning Matty. Kudos to you buddy. A very complex and in-depth project and you knocked it out of the ball park. Very impressed and proud of you mate. Cheers 🍻 Aaron
Now worries about stuffing the first one up. I can speak from experience that we all do that from time to time. I can't tell you how many times that the "order of operation" has bit me in the bum mate.
That's going to be a really useful addition to the tool library. Looks pretty stable spinning away on your mill. I think my mill would walk it's way out of the workshop with that offset 😂. Gives me an idea though for a mod to a standard head. Thanks Matty 👍👍
G'day Matty. You must be stoked with that! Bloody well done mate, your machining is superb, the thing looks fan-bloody-tastic! And works superbly too. The designer ought to pat himself on the back as well, because it has worked straight off of the drawings without any real mods necessary. ( was the step down gearbox planned or was it a sort of bolt on extra? As I can't remember now. My memory ain't what it was any longer lol) Cheers mate, you deserve a beer or two after that. Sam
Gday Sam, the gearbox was going to be an optional component but I believe that 0.1p/rev is to quick, the gearbox has 3 different gear sets that can be made, 0.035, 0.050 & 0.1 p/rev, Barry did an outstanding job designing this and I found zero mistakes in the plans to, Thanks for watching, Cheers
