New Drawbar for the Cincinnati Mill 

I've never heard my wife say I don't listen to her...

Mistakes happen .. oh well! Nice to see the mill having a second option now! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

I didn't read all of the comments, but that "Tit' of smaller thread is for using an adapter and running smaller toolholders. I have a 50-40 taper adapter for my Cincinnati, and the 40 taper uses the smaller threads. Great video.

I'm fairly new (within a year) to your channel but appreciate your skill and the way you think, so thank you for sharing them here. One more thing...keep leaning forward mate. I'm 70 and have nearly died a couple of times from maladies due to aging parts, so I can empathize. Getting old isn't for the faint of heart. But the effort is damn sure worth it--to you and the ones around you. All the best and I'm looking forward to your next project. Cheers and Merry Christmas from St Augustine, Florida USA.

For a self taught machinist you handle screw cutting like a pro - good save Matty. Looks good from where I'm sitting in Melbourne. Not going to comment on the domestic query! All the best mate. Cheers

I like when Matty goofs he just makes it right and shows us everything. No big deal, just carry on.

Thanks Matty. Appreciated. Soldier on, Ocker! Oh, and I liked what the fly cutter did at the end.

Great recovery on the thread Matty, not easy to do . Hydraulic Piston rod material is good to work with, even the plain carbon steel grades. Nice addition to the mill, thanks for sharing. Best regards from the Black Country UK. John.

Looking good Matty, as long as you listen to herself when she is reminding you of important stuff.

Good to have the horizontal setup operational now. That opens even more possibilities.

as usual first class job Matty👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 best wishes Kev (UK)

My wife always complains that I have two faults, one, I never listen, two, no idea. I think I've missed the second one.

Nice job on the drawbar, having the horizontal functionality opens up more options for you yet again!

Started watching the next day this was posted, but just set down to finish to the end. The Cincinnati is one awesome mill and to have the horizonal portion back up and going I know we regular viewers are in for a treat to see what uses you will have for it. "May the Chips Always be Flying- But Never Get Us Down" ! You are looking Great. Friday is PET scan day for me, Hoping the Dog comes back wagging it's tail, and not Whining ? Merry Christmas, Bear.

Thanks Matty, those two components look nice, glad the horizontal cuts are so crips! Cheers, 👍💪✌

Another awesome video Matty, Once again so much information to take in and learning. From kiwi land.

I haven’t said a word to my wife in 10 years…………….I didn’t want to interrupt her. 😂😂😂

Lol , i have been told that on a regular basis for the last 35 years ! 👍

Mattie, Great to see that Cincinnati horizontal spindle at work 👏👏 Great work Robert

That's one monster drawer bar Matty, great machining, including the new Lister valve. Next project, an articulated arm bolted to the top of your mill to swing the vertical head to and fro when mounting. Hope your keeping that milling machine now, it does a really nice job. Cheers Tony

Great job! Anyone can make a mistake, but it takes skill to pick back up on the thread.👍You read my mind on the fly cutter, smooth finish. Be good and stay safe!

Thankyou Matty another great video, wife's should always be listened to if a man wants a happy life, I trust things are progressing with the little bit of rust, till next week...

Hi Matty your videos get better and better all the time and so does your workmanship keep on smiling and all the best Paul 🍻

Nice one Matty. Having horizontal capacity on a mill provides lots of options.

Well done Matty, Another great video mate.👍

Nicely done, even the corrective action. Having the option to go horizontal on your Cincinnati gives you that extra width. We made gears for Lister engines in the 70s & 80s, their engines had a good name. The valve looks great, well better looking than the pieces you had anyway 😉. You're so right when you said about retaining the stem diameter when turning. Regards to you and family, take care and be well 👍

Any mistake that can be recovered is a learning moment.... Nice work..... Any married man who says there wife has never yelled at them is just lying lol... you can not have a good relationship without having the love to argue with your loved one...nobody is perfect but if your wife does not yell at you it may mean she does not care lol....

I’ve got to say mate the finishing product always comes out Awesome whatever you build.

I've always found a slightly loose drawbar thread to be better than a precise fit. That way it doesnt bind up every time a minute fleck of debris finds its way into the thread.

Great video Matty. great recovery of part and a good final result. Thanks for sharing

Hi Matty, Always a great day when you can double the capabilities of a machine.....Dave

As per usual nice work to your high standards, it's also good to hear you sounding a little more upbeat. As an old Motor Mechanic, that valve looks the goods to me. Your wife must be the polar opposite of mine, I swear she never listens to a damn thing I say to her. 👍

Great job Matty. . fine job catching the mistake and being able to save the project. . Super cool.

Nice job Matty. Good save on the threading. Great having a horizontal option. I have an old Tom Senior mill I'm doing up. Also has horizontal option. Cheers Mike

looking good, young man. not being a machinist, l couldn't work out where this one was going, until the end, l thought it was for a cutter, so you could cut keyways or slots you are looking and sounding better than you have done in a week or three, keep on keeping.

Nice recovery on the oopses. Having the horizontal option is going to be nice for future projects.

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing 👍

Very nice job on the drawbar 👍 The valve stem is actually imperial. It is 0.43307086614173228346456692913386 bananas 🤣🤣 Hope the treatment is going well. All the best, Paul

Screaming??? Naw!! No not at all. Giggling?? May be.🤣 Merry Christmas Matt and family.

Nice work Matty. I was waiting for you to just lock the 2 new nuts together and mill the flats on both in one operation

Good to see you back up and running. God bless.

Excellent job Matty, good to see you up and running, great video, keep'um coming..

Very nice work on the drawbar and value Matty. Great recovery on the thread. Wish I could find some scrap metal like that lying around. Keep well and safe mate. Cheers Nobby

Lookin real good! Thanks for your time.

Stellar job on the drawbar. I'm guessing we may see some horizontal set ups in the near future.

Thanks for the video Matty! You're looking well!

i was sitting here going "NO,NO,NO!! MATTY!!" but a very nice save there ,if i do similar things,threading from both ends i make a mark whit a pen at the top of the chuck and zero out the dro just in case - then i can get back to the right place,and the gears will be correct for the carriage position

G'day Matty. Great job on the drawbar, & a good save on the threads. Finished bar looks Million $$$'s. The Cincinnati definitely has some heavy arbours

Awesome job Matty. Purre gold channel, thanks

Well done mate thanks

Hi Matty, your Lister valve stem is probably 7/16" which is almost exactly 11m. In fact it's 0.00425" bigger so I'd almost be willing to bet that if you measure with an imperial micrometer you'll end up with 0.43775" or thereabouts. Pretty small numbers and you have to account for years, the last Lister 6 HP diesel I worked on was in Africa in 1962, so sixty years ago, of possible wear and tear. I'd be interested to know if I'm correct and what Lister engine this came out of. We had half a dozen on the folk's farm, from an early 30's "coffee pot" style water jacket, about 2.5 HP (rescued from the scrap heap by my dad) and a few mid 50's version, 1.5 HP petrol engines we used to pump water. As long as they had fuel they'd run forever. 🤞🇨🇦🕊️🇺🇦🕊️🇦🇺🐨👍

Nice job on the drawbar and the valve Matty.

Great job.

Matty pal, nice work from a home workshop, I also take on customers work and I’ve had some jobs that have tested me but touch wood they have all come out to spec, keep at it pal 👴🏻👍

Always great to see you in the shop Matty, especially with what you are going through. You are an inspiration. Your work is excellent, even with the unintended rework. Keep fighting and only do what you can.

Very good job

Nice job Matty 👍

Praying for you brother. Hope treatments are going well.

love the valve Matt!!! good draw bar too.

G'day Matty great video mate.

Ta Matty great work Bud, MERRY CHRISSY TO All your end.

Another great tool out of Matty’s Workshop. Thanks for the video and time mate. That valve looks good and like you, I would have thought it would have been Imperial. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Good one. Really enjoyed the video.

Nice one mate stay and well keep up the good work

Nice work Matty. 👍

Great video again Matty. Think of how much more you will be able to do with this upgrade. Glad you are feeling OK, I say that because you look well. Hope I am right.

Nice save Matty

Matty, thread measuring wires are your friend, finish thread to correct effective diameter, then finish OD.

Hi Matty. Hope you are coping mate. The stuff you turn out always look Factory. Brilliant. Steve.

Nice one mate hope all is well with you and yours

Excellent save on the part. But my money says you’ll make a new one off camera. Good day my friend you look well. I hope you feel the same

Nice work as usual bud! Always so impressed. Looks like you might be feeling a bit better I hope.

You can do so many jobs with the horizontal set up! All the best mate!

Turned out great Matty, Nice recovery on the threading. I detect horizonal milling action in the future.. Enjoyed ! Cheers...ATB...

Ha Mate you think you got it bad I've had that for 47 years and we develop a thing called selective hearing, but it's good to see you getting into a bit more so hopefully you are on the mend.

With everything else that's going on in your life at the moment Matty, a couple of recoverable misshaps aren't that much of an issue. Hoping you are feeling OK.

Hi Matty i believe that that smaller thread is used for if you have a #50 taper to #40 reducer. the thread size of #40 tool holder would use the small thread . Well you get the idea . JM

Well done with the rescue Matty, strange the valve size, like you I would have thought imperial. maybe somebody in the know will enlighten us.

Matty, like you, I have hearing problems too! ;)

Gday Matty nice job mate and thanks for another video. I had to make a longer drawbar for my mill but mine was as simple as a trip to bunnings for some m12x1.75 threaded rod. Your not wrong about the price of material lately I just bought two bits of 4140 1 @ 50x250 and 1 @ 80x250 RND cost $200 with $60 for shipping just on 14kg it's not making things easy huh

👍

Can I suggest the smaller thread on the drawbar is to pull a morse taper socket into an open ended International -to - Morse adaptor? Morse tapers are not keen on side loads and tend to 'walk' out if used for milling. Just a thought. I had an old flatbelt horizontal mill which had a 4 morse taper drive with no tang, the drawbar was ½" Whit. All the best, Robert

Far out Matty and g'day mate, I've used hydraulic piston rod for all sorts, great stuff 👍 Cracking job indeed, I always struggle turning any length and keeping it true Looks bought not made Hope you're keeping well mate and the treatments not making you too crook

Nice work as usual.....That mill looks really rigid.....Going to be a joy to use....That valve looks great too....Does the mill run smoother with the 3 phase motor.....Thanks for sharing

G'day mat, you have a good attitude, you'll be right mate. Hooroo se ya later

Nice save

Nice job on the drawbar. I've only had to catch a thread a couple of times. Followed how Abom79 showed on his channel and it went well. Hope you're doing and feeling well!

Maddie the way you had the camera sit up there and look like a the headstock was moving instead of the carriage

Hi Matty out of interest even Austin 7 cars were made in the 1920s using metric threads, so not too much of a suprise that Listers used them.

Warts and all; Your content is appreciated by people who know we're all human. Question though. If both nuts had the same cut, was there a reason you didnt do them in one operation? It seams you could have put them end to end and machined them at the same time.

Hi Matty, hope your doing ok, love your videos watched almost all of them. Love to know there you got that ring light on your mill from, all the best and good luck. Dazza.

Saved, that was karma for mentioning ‘her indoors’, put the motza on yourself😂

Great job, as always! Just curious….if you’re making the nuts why did you have to turn the shaft down? Just make the nut to fit

Hi Matt. Nice job on the draw bar and the valve. How is the treatment coming along.

Now you can make horizontal parts and vertical parts,, Cheers

No comment that’s a you problem Matty 😂😂😂

Horizontals love big cuts so don't just scratch things with it ;-)

I am 72 yrs old and have been married 48 yrs (49 yrs end of Jan 24). I have this theory. I get into trouble with the wife - doesn't matter whose wife it is. I am always on the receiving end of a wagging finger. Nothing wrong with me. Just ALL the wives I meet.

Nice save! Can I ask a stupid question? When you're single point threading how do you know you've gone deep enough? Is it a matter cutting, trying, cutting trying?

My husband listens to and respects everything I say, said no wife ever. 😂🥴🤪
