Gday, Ive used this method on my other boring heads and its been accurate every time, Thanks for watching mate

Gday, Ive never seen inside a boring and facing head and how they work, can the VHU face in either direction?, Thanks for watching

@@MattysWorkshop It can face in only one direction but reversing the rotation will reverse the feed. H&F stock a VHU clone, product code M185. Take a look at the detail photos along with this description. This design is very popular in industry. I first used one more than 40 years ago as an apprentice and I can confidently say every place I have worked since had at least one. The way it works is quite ingenious. The feed screw is a trapezoidal thread of 4mm pitch so is very strong and not prone to wearing it's bronze nut. In the end of the feed screw is a 6mm female hex, use this hex to rapidly move the head to the starting radius. The screw also has 4 detents making it easy to count off full mm moves. The dial on the side attaches to a worm which drives the main screw nut which has the mating worm wheel on it's OD. The nut is held in a fixed location in the upper body section and pushes the lower section by feeding the main screw which is attached to the lower body section. This worm drive provides the fine adjustment of 0.01mm. The knurled ring at the top of the head has 4 vertical pins. These pins are progressively engaged to vary the feed rate per rev. These pins engage with the main screw nut so that if the top ring is held stationary while the head is rotating the pins drive the nut to feed the tool out. the ring also has an overload slip clutch should the head reach maximum extension. While I understand it's often about the journey and not the destination for the hobbyist, given the time and expense of making your own the asking price for the fully heat treated commercial alternative makes it a compelling option. My only significant criticism of this clone is the 18mm tool holes, 19mm would allow standard boring bars to be fitted.

@@MattysWorkshop See Kurtis's latest video. his Wholhopter boring head is similar in design and function

Gday, That could work to, good food for thought, Cheers

Gday, your not holding me up at all, take your time, I’ve ordered a set of 0.7 module cutters but there a few weeks away, thanks for watching mate, cheers

Thanks Ted, it was good to hear some good news mate, cheers

Gday Preso, This way has worked really well in the past with my other boring heads, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

Gday, I have moved the workshop around quite a bit, Heaps more room now, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Cheers mate

Gday, I can remember my dad saying something very similar many years ago, I believe he's words were " you can bloody see your been there boy"🤣, Cheers

Gday

Gday, thanks very much for checking the channel out, I was pretty happy when I got the positive report mate, appreciate you watching

Gday, I walked in to the appointment nervous and left smiling, The reduction at this stage will be 50% and possibly a little more, Thanks for watching, cheers
