MT3 Fly Cutter For Trevor's New Mill 

Don't apologise for not making a video Matty, your health and family are number 1 priority. Happy new mill Trevor 👍. Another great fly cutter build. Thanks for sharing

No worries about the video schedule! I know you said before that shop time and making these was good mental therapy, but your health is far more important than our entertainment! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

My Dad did Chemotherapy back in the 70s. He began to get sick 24hrs before the treatment because he knew what was coming. Hope its easier these days. Hang in there Matty, its worth it.

No excuses Matty! You don't need to make excuses to your audience. Those of us who know what you are going through REALLY UNDERSTAND!

Great job Matty. Trevor will be a happy man. We have a joke in our household how we (hobby machinist) are very good at taking a large piece of metal and turning it into a small piece. Cheers Mike

Hey Matty, good news to see you back. Good luck with the two remaining chemo sessions, then we all hope that you licked that rust and it's gone! A nice fly cutter you made for your mate Trevor. Thank you for posting this for us to marvel at! Cheers, -Robert 👍💪✌

Happy days G'day Matty, hope you're feeling better mate, don't need medicine making you sick Uncle Trevor is a lucky bloke, that's a beaut of a fly cutter Have a great one

Matty. Many thanks for the videos they must take a lot out of you. Wishing you and the family all the best.❤👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey Matty, Next week we will be giving thanks for all that we hold dear. You are a good man, Matty. Trevor is lucky his dad has such amazing skills and a big heart to boot! We pray daily for your recovery. Stay strong and I look forward to your next video, whenever you get it out. No hurry, and no apologies! You So ROCK!

Very nice job, love the way you finished the fly cutter. Keep the faith Matty, we'll be waiting for you, no pressure, just get rid of that nasty rust.

Sorry to hear that you were crook after your last treatment. Great to see you back in the shop. The fly cutter looks mint hopefully Trevor will get lots of use from it.

Excellent, Trevor has a good friend. Cheers

Love your work, as usual Matty. Heartfelt wishes for the treatments to succeed.

Once again, a beautiful piece of work! Wish I could get a perfect finish like that every time like you do. You are truly a perfectionist. Looking forward to the next video. Please get plenty of rest and take care of yourself. Hope your treatments go well and you are totally rid of cancer soon.

You’re a great mate to have Matty, Trev is gonna be rapt with the tool. Sorry the treatment knocked you around mate, better times ahead. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Great job mate your health comes first so don't sweat the missed video

I know that Trevor will be ecstatic with that wonderful gift. Not only is an excellent bit of craftsmanship but more so because it comes from a good friend. Your skills are indeed impressive. Wishing you all the best Matty.

Trevor's going to be a Happy Camper! New mill + new Fly Cutter from an ole Buddy,,, don't get any better! Cheers from TX, Bear

Sorry you had a rough time last week. No apology necessary. Yet another superb piece of work. You get such great surface finishes. Trevor is a lucky guy. Cheers Matty

Great to have you back. Don't apologise for resting and not making a video, your health is more important. Look forward to your next video, when you are up to making it. God bless you heaps.

Lucky boy!! What a mate he's got!! God Bless

That fly cutter was hiding in there this whole time. I'm sure Trevor will be glad that you were able to cut it out for him.

You amaze me with the quality of the work you do,, Another well executed project!

you were missed last week, Glad do have you back with another of your video's. Thanks for taking the time to produce but fully understand that your health and family come first in priorities. Keep safe and well.

Another quality job well done Matty. That sine bar setup is a game changer. Joe Pi does a good explanation on setting up to cut a morse taper. Good to hear that there's only 2 more treatments left. You never have to justify yourself to us when you're going through kicking C to the kerb mate. Trev's going to be like a kid at Christmas with his new tool lol

Beautiful new tool for Trevor 👍 Bang-up job Matty 👍👍 Cheers...ATB....

Matty, thanks for the video. You have a finish on that cutter like it was jewellery. Love it. Best wishes,

Great work as always Matt! hang in there mate 👋👋 I'm praying for your recovery 🙏😊

whatever you can make is good...don't sweat the small stuff as they say...stay good for us Matty!

Nice to see you again Matty. Trev is a lucky man, Look after yorsen mate.

great Job Matty👍👍👍👍👍👍 all the best Kev (UK)

Hi Matty I'm so sorry to hear you've been unwell since your last treatment. Don't worry about missing a video, I'm sure we would rather you get better instead. Perfect job on the fly cutter. I bet Trev will be pleased and proud to own it. Well done Matty, keep safe and happy. Cheers Nobby

Really enjoyed the video, awesome that you are gifting this to Trevor. Stay positive

Hi Matty, I'm not a machinist and I don't own a mill - but I want a fly cutter - LOL. They make such a beautiful finish. Awesome job, Trevor will be very happy with his new fly cutter. Take care of yourself and good luck with the chemo - hopefully it will not be as bad as last time. Regards, Dave

Nice job Matty you always get the best finishes.

Good to see you again Matty, glad you are feeling better ❤ Trevor's mill looks really impressive, but will look even better with your fly cutter in it. Trevor should be really pleased with it. I like the fly cutter finish over the face cutter, it's just more appealing to me. That angle plate for the more tapers is a nifty piece of kit, which would have saved many an hour back in the day. Hope your next chemo isn't as bad as your last. You don't need to apologise to anyone for missing a post mate, honestly your health comes first. Take care regards to you and family and see you whenever 👍

Very nice. Also had a cheap junk M5 tap break on me deep in a hole - what a bugger. Well recovered!! Good luck for the next session.

Excellent vid Matty, another great build. Best wishes.

Good to see ya! Very nice job on the cutter, will go well with the new mill.Enjoyed!

Hi Matty another great job and video there mate no question about it Trevor will just love you for that gift also been in contact with Jim in the hope of purchasing the sine bar and gauges wishing you wellness PAUL🍻👍

I don't know you mate, I'm from the UK, but you seem like a very decent bloke - a good machinist toboot. I wish you the best and I admire your attitude. I hope you have a fair few good machining years ahead of you not least for the rest of us to enjoy.

Very nice work, Matty. Superb gift. Carbon steel taps, avoid them like the plague. Hope everything goes well for you. Tony

No need for apologies Matty, got the T shirt so am with you on the chemo effects. Superb work on the fly cutter; no need to rush on the videos, your health is # 1 in the grand scheme of things.

Beautiful job Matty. Absolutely hate breaking taps while taking care not to. Never fails mine will break in a blind hole. Take care of your health first, videos can wait. Cheers from Canada.

Beautiful work as usual 👍

Great fly cutter build. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

That is a really nice gift! Hope you are doing OK with the treatments, I know they just suck... we are all rooting for you mate!

Great Video. That came out beautiful! Working on steam engines would be my dream job. Actually dreamed about that most of my life. Career change around 30 took me out of machining and into IT but the dream continued. Shame I can’t go to Victoria. Thanks for showing me those jobs actually exist! 🤠

Good to see you back in the shop.

Lovely, 😊, Trev’s gonna love it.❤

I bet Trevor was tickled to get this cutter, yours is definitely better quality that the import stuff and it was specially made for him. Hope you're able to keep your spirits up through the latest life hurdles.

Well done Matty, Trev will be pleased with that I am sure!! Cracking job. Cheers, Jon

Good Luck with the chemo treatment!!!! Wish you nothing but the best!!!

Thanks for sharing. Get well soon.

Beautiful result as per usual Matty, sorry to hear the chemo is knocking you around, but it's almost a given I think, take care 👍

Another nice build Matty.

We are praying for you. Don't over do it! The big " C " can be beat! We look forward to many more great videos. God bless!

Nice! 🙂👌 All the best Matty. Cheers

You seems to be coping with the chemo well. It took my friend (97y.o.) several weeks to feel better after similar NHL treatment . Great job with the flycutter - as usual 🙂

Good looking fly cutter Matty, I made mine on 15'degrees to it works great I use the round carbide tooling, excellent finish, great video, keep'um coming.

Trev should be happy with that!!!

another excellent job, you do not need to be apologising for missing a week, your health is the most important thing. keep on keeping on, you got this. all the best, see you when we see you :)

Hi Matty, I bought the same digital level as yours a few weeks ago, liked it so much bought a second, the first one was spot on against my sine bar, the second one was 0.5 deg out, calibrated and both read the same. Only Sutton taps for me.

Take care of yourself first and foremost Matty!

Another cracking job Matty, I really don't know quite how you manage to get such good finishes. I'd really like to see how the taper bar works, I've never seen one before. The same mill as Trevors here in the UK fitted with a power feed would be over 1000 Aus dollars more expensive. I bought mine second hand for £1,000, barely used, but it does have issues. Update, went back through your videos and found the sine bar video.

*_Great job on the finish. Gave me something to think about when I make my fly cutter. You nailed and taper. My compound is too beat up to trust. Eventually when I get a surface grinder Ill dress it up, make sure it's perfect and maybe then I can trust doing a taper._* 🤙

Matty is a genius machinist...

Anything you enjoy is good for your health! If you enjoy your work, then that's good for you! But don't overdo it! I wish you all the best and much success in your tough battle! I am sure that you will win! Best wishes from Dresden! ☀🍀🍀🍀❤❤❤🇩🇪❤🇦🇺😎

You bloody ledgend Matty👍👌🇦🇺

Another amazing tool👍you make it look so easy.

" he might get the poo's" that cracked me up - a nice tool,Matty,i think Trevor will be very happy whit an early christmas-present

Good ta see ya mate...Our prayers are with ya👍🙏 Tell Trevor congrates for us! Its always brings a smile to get oneself sone new toys to do better with right? Nothing better than new machine smell😁👍 Keep yourself busy like ya have been,give yourself a break,we understand Matty. Your sub from Oregon ❤️👍

God Bless you Keep up the great work.

Nice Work and best of luck!

Nice little trick, Matty , to use a ball end mill when a countersink isn't practical . The only thing good about those brittle taps is that they are much more likely to disintegrate when you drift the broken ones out . .... give me good ol' hss any day for tooling when not making production runs . Beautiful work, once again ! ..... Thanks for the video, Matty !

If you continue making things for Trevor, there will be nothing left for him to make :)

Hi Matty. Nice to hear you only have 2 chemo sessions left all will go well 👍. Great fly cutter I have just seen you make my next project (the fly cutter). Nice mill Trevor has HM48B. I have the same model only about 6 months old. I have made 5 quick change tool holders , the one that you made for Trevor a while back, did you have it hardened??? Stay well Cheers Greg. 👍👍👍Ulladulla

That turned out really nice Matty. All the best from Jim in the UK.

Matt you work that machine I would say as slick as you shift them gears in your truck that you drove I hope you get feeling and get over everything my wife had to have cancer surgery in December I hate cancer you get well friend

It not good to hear that you got knocked around by the chemo Matty. I hope it is better for your next session. Nice machining as usual. The fly cutter came out great.

G'day Matty. Very nicely made flycutter, just a shame there's so much material that had to come off. Wondering why you didn't cut the thread while the shank was still straight before you turned the 3MT Overall very nice unit. Should work nicelly on the Hafco Mill..

Done well Matty.

Nicely done my friend

Great video and work Matty

Good luck with your chemo next week Matty. I'm on a two week break myself. Regards, Duck

Good job mate

NIce build. Thx for the vid., and take care.

High from Vancouver again i check you every week,to support the channel and to see how your doing.I did a bit too much dri king in my youthand i got a piece of toast for a liver so i k ow the thrill of being unhealthy. I Cast silver jewelry when i feel up to it,Im turning 60 so i dont know whats in store but having a hobby makes a world of difference eh? Stay well my friend,p.s i names my son Matt. ;)

Ta Mate great upload ,all the best mate.

Matty, I have to admit... I watched this too early in the morning. When you were showing the first chips on Trevor's new mill, I though you had started on the project. I paused the video, and tried to figure out what optical illusion I was seeing. I even put on my damn glasses. I rewound it, paused it.... I even pulled a pooch and turned my head 90 degrees left and right, Then I hit play and heard your voice describing first chips. I am blaming this on not enough coffee......

good job matty

Nice one Matty, hang on in there pal 👴🏻👍

Wow Matty you did a great job on that I’m telling ya.I’m 1 chemo down 5 to go. Cheers mate.

others have say this but no video so what you are going through a bit old mate to say least and from what i can see handling it dam well cheers never say die was my motto when driving and just seams to fit for you Trevor's new Mill well yes nice one but mine does job as for the Fly cutter nice one just quality i am sure he will get a lot of use from that and he knows where it came from Big Cheers Matty

Nice work as usual Matty. Some time ago a few of us screamed at you HSS. Steve.

Another great job there Matty! Vevor is having some holiday sales. Maybe Trevor can score a vise from them at a good price?

Hope everything is okay with you.. missing me weekly fix of machining. Wish all the best with anything you have going on behind the scenes. Have a good one hope to see more content soon😊

Awesome job for your friend. I'm sure he will greatly appreciate the fly cutter. HOW is your health and medical treatment going??

G'day Matty

👍
