Horizontal Milling - Viewer Job... 

Milling troubles ... Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug! Nice sticker too!! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Love the sticker Rod made for your lathe... Those T-Nut's are real beefy, hope the viewer can share photo of the nuts being used. Funny how a desire for an straightforward job on a rainy day, can often bite ass in many different ways, but you got there in the end.

Good to get the Cincinnati into horizontal mode, a bit of old timer machining. More work involved milling that part than many would appreciate I'm sure, nice job!

Gday Matty always enjoy watching horizontal mill work my mill has a separate drive and spindle in the column so I set it up for horizontal cutting whenever I get the chance cheers for another cool video

Those are the big daddy of t-nuts. They must be at least six times the size of the ones on my mill. Great job Matty. Do like your new lathe sticker. Cheers Nobby

Hi Matty👍👍👍👍👍👍😉😉 Nothing wrong with having days were you don't want nothing to technical to do A change is as good as a rest ATB Kev

Some fancy T nuts. Nice work though there Matty. Thanks for sharing.

G’day mate, thanks for your time and the video mate. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Geez Matty! Watch those bloody Queenslanders mate! Keep ‘em away from your bananas! They’ll bend the lot! Thanks for posting, enjoyed it.

Nice to have more than 1 milling machine for different set-ups. Thanks for sharing. Great Job.

9:46 I like this angle a lot as well Matty. It is working nicely.

Great another Matty video.

Got there in the end 👍

I have heard of people stacking weights at the end on a warn table to make it stay flat. It keeps it from rocking. Thanks for sharing.

Great job Matty ultra precise tee nut blank. Your viewer will be well pleased wih it. Cheers Tony

Thanks for sharing 👍

Hey Matty, from da Bronx, as always, thanks for sharing your Shed Time. Keep up your strength 💪 P.S. great opening shot of how intense the rain is today.

Good work Matty. In my experience horizontal mills have much better rigidity than turret mills and that is clearly illustrated here. But horses for courses, and the turret mill easily wins in the flexibility stakes. Definitely useful to have both on hand.

Thanks, Matty. I hope you got the DRO sorted. See you next week mate. Cheers.

Hiya Matty, hard spots in steel can be a pain in the backside. Many years ago we were machining S96 steel blocks, that steel has 2.5% nickel, chromium-molybdenum. It was a nightmare, luckily the foundry accepted the blame, still didn't help us machine the breeches on a MoD contract. We played about with feeds, speeds and tooling. That helped but it was still very disheartening. Recently we've had an increase of 256% of the normal rainfall. Regards to you and the family, stay safe and well 👍

Very nice component...Thank You...

Hi mate beautiful job. You make it look easy. Great to watch. All the best

HI Rod. . Great stickers. Nice job Matty. . even if you had all kinds of problems. Great job working around the issue and solving the problem to get a "simple" job done. . Have a Great Weekend.

It's really useful to have a horizontal and a vertical set up available without having to take of the head! All the best, Matthew

It could be play in the "Y" axis on the Cinncinati mill? Lock up the "X", just drop a clock on it and put some force on it. Worst case its only worn in a smallish area. I did notice sparks from the fly cutter, so more force?= Nice job Matty, plenty of metal removal 👌. Hello Rod. Thanks for sharing.

God speed to you Matty

thats a cool oil skimmer, my hotsy parts cleaner has a stainless steel disc with scraper blades that runs through the sump...

great to see you getting on with it Matty . new mill is great . I think the x axis needs attention on the good old cincinati . do i forsee a scraping video coming . Great video mate , Cheers Ade #

Thanks for another great video Matty, keep em coming, God bless.

Matty you dropped your ratchet mate, just there on the floor, no no over there 🤣

good job,, good sticker! those milling heads can be bloody heavy, my other mill is a Victoria from the 50s and i can't lift the head without injury!!👍

Thanks Matty, great video the thing I appreciate is there's no :bull: you get what you get... Till next week,have a good one

you got rain We got snow in New York ..

Morning from UK Matty, we had rain so I feel your pain lol Sometimes a nice simple job can soothe you Not going to comment on the play just glad to see you back in the shop and looking pretty good again

👏🏻 great job ! Those t nuts will last forever! Thanks for sharing with us. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

thank matty for that just need to make a table to hold the plate

Forgot about the Speed Controller. Great stuff.😮 Try an Annular Cutter as an end mill, I find it works quite well.

In America your videos come out around 11:30 at night, was I dreaming or did you have some pretty girls in your video, brushing coolant all over your shoulders wearing pink bikini's and dark sunglasses. Great video this week. I remember was HORIZONTAL MILLING AND VIEWER JOB. I think your going to get a whole lot of new subscribers. Keep of the good work, and helping out "Viewer Job"

G'day Matty, nice to see you fella, nothing wrong with a nice steady job mate, thoroughly enjoyed seeing the horizontal mill action, now you have the Bridgeport, maybe you will leave it set horizontal like 👍🏻 Hope your keeping well and thanks for sharing

Dry as a bone here in Johannesburg, want to send the rain our way when you are done with it? Good to see you on your pegs and looking healthy mate!

Thanks

G'day Matty. The "T" nuts section worked out really well. The fine finish with the Fly Cutter came out great. You must have had the Fly Cutter close to the Base, I was waiting for a few marks in the table

Hi Matty, despite the setbacks it came right in the end - blame it on the rain - LOL. Regards, Dave

good video matty

Hiya Matty I think a cobalt roughing endmill would make for an easier go of it on the Knee mill. Alot less tool pressure and a deeper cut. Save you some time.

Perhaps while it's off the machine you could build a bar to attach to the head with a lift point where the weight is balanced to make removing and installing easier.

Thx for the vid.

G'day Matty another great video mate 👍

Hi Matty, you should know mate ,as soon as you say it,s gonna be a nice easy , all help breaks loose. But hey, you being you ,it came out great. Don,t be w ok doing too hard mate, Regards Mike

Great video Matty, keep'um coming..

Looks like you put the "T" in T-nut there. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow here. We are a bit dry so we could use some.

Good work as always Matty. Looks like you had a heap of rain there.

👍

Hi Matty. In the end nothing as good as fly cutter. Beefy T nuts or what 😮

Well it turned out well in the end Matty. Never done any horizontal milling . My machine is vertical only & probably only a 1/4 the size of yours. I cannot take deep cuts like you did , as the machine would take off. Deepest with my facemills are about 0.25mm per cut. Any more & it does not like it. Hope you are ok & see you on the next one. Steve.

Hi Matt. I think the Cincinnati just needs some fine tuning. When you do your next video how about a walk around to show off the wild life.

Hi Matty, from Cumbria, UK, Had you considered the square bar is probably end of a bar? I got a lot of large offcuts which were end of bar off cuts for free, they are OK but can be very unpredictable as for how they cut. End of bar cools quicker and sometimes the mill rollers don't press as hard or press harder at the end of the bar so for critical components many engineering shops dispose of the bar ends, not worth the trouble. Seeing your horizontal mill make me yearn for my old Denbigh flat belt mill. Great old tool, I even used it for line boring motorcycle engine crank bearing housings.

The strange pattern you get could well come from some play in the X or Y. It's maybe a good idea to check the gibs.

Nice work - sometimes it’s good to knock something simple out. It results in a completed project in short order, which is satisfying. There is a lot to be said for “small wins”. I don’t know what might be causing that “break” pattern after flycutting. Curious - I’d love to know the reason if it ever comes to light - although it’s really just a surface texture. Overall looks excellent - but I totally appreciate how you are concerned about the fine details. Cheers! 👍👍

Matty, based on the changing surface pattern you got when using the Cincinnati, my guess is that the table swiveled as the tool pressure changed. If you can't adjust your gibs to eliminate that pattern, you may get to machine and/or scrape the worn surfaces. Good luck!

Hey Matty. The variable finish on the Horizontal may be something to foo with the ‘climb milling’, combined with some variations (from wear) in the X axis lead screw?? Just a thought… Whatever….. the job turned out fine. Those Tee nuts will be big suckers eh? 🤣 Robert

Marty- are you on the level with this one? 😂. Weather like you are having makes my knees and back hurt 😢

another great video, keep em coming, l have what l hope is not a dumb question, is it not possible to have a central sump for coolant, and have each machine draw from of, and drain back to it, it looks like coolant sumps are not high up on the list when machines are designed, judging by the belt drawing out the sludge.

👍 Good job Matty. I wonder what the go with the face mill is? Looks rigid enough. All the best mate. Cheers

Hi Matty, I see patterns similar to that when flycutting cylinder heads, a new insert cures it .....

Did Cincinnati offer a parking attachment for the vertical head like some of the K&T folks have showcased? Another shop project on the list...

'that just fell off" 🤣

Do you ever have trouble finding your welder mate? 😁

you seem well, how are ya doing?

Nice one mate 👍 made a nut from an old bolt ŵith a hacksaw when I was young worked ok but not as shmick as yours
