You did a bang up job that some cannot fathom the amount of actual time it takes to work on a project while also documenting it. Those who do know, REALLy appreciate the work you did here. Now you have to come up with a hero (shaper) and villians (broken end mills) for a future endeavor. Thank you.
I’m not sure how you popped up on my RU-vid home page but I’m really glad you did, I really enjoyed watching your videos and am looking forward to more from you, well done my friend, keep them coming...
Also, thanks again for making this video; it has been useful in showing family/friends what the hell I am building in the garage, mostly as a project for learning how to use my new lathe. Casting set arrived last week, made the first part (shaft collar) on the lathe today. Except I used a small chunk of 4140 that I had, instead of the mild steel called for on the prints. I like some of your modifications, particularly the bronze crank follower, and I will consider making the crank from multiple pieces as you did.
@@gary851 Sounds like a personal problem. I built the same kit, and did use socket head screws, but that was mainly because I was lazy and I already had a piloted counterbore sized to work with them. But for an old-timey machine like a die filer, the slotted screws are probably more appropriate. The modern screws I used look somewhat out of place, to be honest. But you can use whatever fasteners you like for yours. Another point about modern fasteners on machine tools... My lathe is covered with them, and they fill up with chips. It's pretty annoying when I want to lock the carriage and I have to clean out the screw recess before I can do that. Not a functional issue with the die filer, but the slotted screws will still be easier when cleaning the machine after use.
Hi and thanks for sharing. I enjoyed watching this video. I checked the company you had on the description box. That website doesn't exist looks like. Thx
but I need the music name also , this music that you selected is what let me watch 19 out of 19 minutes of the video your channel is too much underrated
Who is this? New Clickspeing? Very enjoyable to watch and some commantary from you wouldn't be bad :) Thanks for horizontal milling action. And want to ask, isn't the ccmt nose radius too much for the job? To my ears it came like it wants to chatter, can it be coused by that? Great contant keep up please.
Thank you! I hope to do some commentary in future videos. It definitely wanted to chatter at some points, but it was the only carbide I had on hand. HSS dulls too quickly when machining cast iron.
50% turpentine, 30% asphaltum, and 20% boiled linseed oil. I used the same recipe that Hand Tool Rescue used over in one of his videos. Thanks for watching!
