@@routercnc9517 I really am! i actually found this series looking up ways to improve a drill press and was almost thinking of not watching it but I am so so happy I did.
I’m hooked on this series, even though I know I will never do anything to this level. It’s somehow satisfying to see every little part of the project has been so well thought through. If you want to be negative, you could say obsessively over-engineered, or one could just call it perfection! Imagine a world where every product is designed and built by someone like you 😊 Keep up the great work 👍
Wow, your channel is like find a diamond on the ground! I stumbled onto your line boring video today, your first video, and hen started skipping around. Each video is fantastic, and will take a while to go through them. Just wanted to give some encouragement to keep teaching. You have a lot of talent to share. Best wishes, Kent
Thanks Kent. I’ve dipped into your videos as well ! The CNC build was my first series so just me doing stuff set to music (which was a bit loud in places!). The electric kart build series was next for my daughter. Built my own differential if you like that kind of thing. Then this one on the drill press addressing some of the common limitations of most drill presses. Thanks for the encouragement and good to have you following along !
@@routercnc9517 I'm sure she'll love it! I will be taking some ideas from the ekart series. I've been practicing welding with a go-kart in mind. I have a young son who is fascinated by anything that moves. Would be nice to use the invisible dog fence as a safety kill switch. There's an 80cc motorcycle (my first) as soon as he masters two wheels, though today, he would most enjoy a 4884 wheel configuration :)
Yes it’s all finished and she loves it. I considered a remote control from eBay with 300m ? range for the kill switch but it has not been necessary. Good luck with your kart project, you will also have to decide on one wheel drive, solid axle and high caster angle or using a differential. Thanks
Finally getting caught up on the series...... looks like you had good times in the shop 👍👍😎👍👍. It always amazing to me how obvious things are when sitting in the comfy armchair. Seems like a fixing the table to the new mount would have been easier if you removed the table from the arm 🤣. Working around a camera and focusing on framing the shot somehow obscures what’s obvious in the armchair months later. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful work.
9:49 Usually I'm flipping the table upside down til the bolt mech alittle bit then rotate it again Well done ✅✅✅✅✅ I love ur work Ps(usually I don't do that alone so bravo bravo)
Sorry missed this one. I checked them (not on the video) and they were OK. The main issue is the quill outer sleeve which is not a great fit in the casting bore. There is a setscrew to push it to one side but since it also has to slide it is not the best. If you checkout the final video in this series you will see I joined the quill to the linear rails so it is nice and smooth now with no free-play.
Call me an old git ("You're an old git") but I don't like throwing data & functionality away. Perhaps a clear window in the electrical cabinet to get a view of the motor RPM readout would prove useful in the future. Plenty of time for that sort of thing.
I was thinking of mounting the panel on the door but need to find the correct ribbon cable for it. The downside is if I change the pulley ratio I have to go in and change some of the parameters to tell it the new ratio. A better option is adding a pickup on the quill pulley and a dedicated readout but not decided yet.
@@routercnc9517 Excessive. Window in the box and a Chart - Shaft RPM / Quill RPM for each ratio. I suppose you could calibrate the potentiometer, engrave the quill RPMs on a slab of Chineseum with the CNC, and add a custom vernier to make it harder.
