I‘ ll built the same. Today I tried to repair my car. Drive shaft needs a new clamp .

Mike, thi si sexactly what I need. Thank you very much for an excellent, but elegane, sdesign and video.

Thanks. Great idea Mike! Not bad for a Jaffa! 😉👍😃

Nicely done, I assume for this application it doesn't matter that the leg is now shorter by the amount you cut off the pipe to remove the old broken flanged end? (Leg is adjustable anyway)

Job well done. Suggestion: I would have put a radius in the corners to make it stronger (given that that is where it broke off originally)

Excellent demonstration made very clear, thanks

excellent! 2-3 bucks at hardware store and a little fun and effort.

Thank you for sharing your ideal

you are scribing wrong - that’s why it is not fitting. compass should be kept in same position, not rotated.

one more of these in the world now :)

Mike I like it very much I think I will make me one very nice clamp for a water hose ex video

Thank you for this, I will be making me one.

Is the red "plastic"attached to the read head meant to stay on, or is it for protection during shipping and handling?. Thanks for your time and your video.

Here's a suggestion you may like. Modify the stools front legs with a very large radius (full radius), so your feet can tip the stool to the desired angle that is comfortable to them - not just flat. PS - putting a 1x1 edge of the front (back?) of it will prevent feet from slipping off. If put on with pegs, it would be removable if disliked.

I would measure the distance I need to cut, then push some medical cotton wool just pass the cutting area, then cut. Doing this prevents debris going deep inside. Just an idea....

Hi Rusty Nice job with the x axis. but i think that scale for the y axis (cross slide) looks much too bulky and will limit certain operations, just my thoughts, i would adapt a standard vernier for the cross slide if it was me, but like you said at the begining of the video we are all different, as long as your happy with it that's all that matters, there's always more than one way to skin a rabbit, as the saying goes. Keep up the good work👍👍👍👍👍👍 atb Kev

Such a simple but effective design.I’ve made one for my table saw and yes it does make cutting longer sheets so much easier.

Just watched your video. Thanks. I have to fit a DRO to my lathe and the scales are too long as well. I wouldn’t have a clue without this.

That's a very handy low profile clamping method. As long as there is enough room to swing the tool if needed for an in-situ application. This is on the next wet day project list. Thanks for sharing. Chers Pete' Hokitika.

“..cleaner ones..” yup, go to a yacht chandler and they will have stainless steel ones.. Thanks for the ideas! Les in UK 🇬🇧

Great idea Mike. Quick and easy. Thanks for posting.

Hello Mike, can you reverse the scale reader on the scale? turn it around so the cable is coming out the other end of the scale? or can it only go inside the scale one way? I am fitting my DRO to my lathe and all of my gib screws are on the right side of the cross slide, so I have decided to put the DRO on the chuck side and I will make a few extra covers for protection of the scale and reader. It is a JENIX DRO. Can you enlighten me please, cheers. Wylie

Instead of using standard pins for the cross pins take DIN 1474/ISO 8742 Knebelkerbstifte/toggle notch pins. The do not require reaming the hole to achieve a tight fit.

Make one of these a few years back - quite a bit simpler, but it works fine.

Great video explaining a great tool. Just added this to the top of my home machining project list. What type of wire do you use, stainless?

Very handy to have in the tool box. Will be my next project. Thanks.

Mike I saw one of those tools about 30 years ago at a farm field day. I didn't buy one then and wish I did. This has inspired me to got out and make one. Thanks for the video. I also like seeing the split screen to see and follow what the DRO is doing. Cheers Mate.

great little tool that you could easily make with just the lathe great share thankyou

Choice video, bro. Love the tinshun, too.

Nice😊

I'm sorry, but you spent far more time and energy on this tool than a hose clamp ever would have been. And they also have much better hose clamps than what you use as an example. Also the correct size hose clamp should just barely slide on with out resistance, by the time it's tight that gap no longer exists.

Clever tool, Mike! Definitely beats worm clamps. I'd say its better than Oetiker clamps as well, in that there's no ears sticking out after crimping, and wire is definitely cheaper than either! Definitely going to make one for my tool box. Also, it's awesome to see someone else including their DRO as a picture-in-picture. I do that in my videos as well! I think being able to see the same screen as the operator is a great addition to the viewing experience. It certainly beats disembodied *beep* sounds as buttons are pressed on an off-screen DRO display haha!

Hi Mike Nicely made tool. I have one but a simpler design. Also instead of threading the wire ends through the loop, make two separate loops on a straight piece of wire. The loops must rotate in opposite directions. After that just fold the wire 180 degrees between the loops until the loops are touching on the inside.. Thread this over the fitting etc etc. This way, the wire can be formed around a mandrel on a bench vice. The wire clamps can be premade to a variety of sizes.

Neat, screw hose clamps are an abomination !!!

i have never seen that tool before

Mike, that looks a very useful tool and I have put it on the 'to make' list. Cheers mate

Brilliant repair mate, well done

That was such fun to watch. Thanks Mike for showing us this. Now I will know what to do when I do this!

Gday Mike, thanks for the mention, the reason I used the 12mm boring bar in mine was so the insert is supported and I was to lazy the mill in a pocket, when I do heavy cuts on a through bore I angle the boring bar around to open up the gap between the side wall and bar and this stops the build up of swarf between the 2, it’s amazing how much more rigid these bars are, great job mate, cheers

Another excellent ticking stick demo. A very useful, simple bit of kit.

Ingenious, but simple and elegant. Thanks for this idea - great for my small workshop and job-site saw. I'm going to build one or two.

This is an awesome idea of all the supports i have seen on utube i think this is the best idea and i shall give a try . Thanks for sharing

An odd characteristic of glass but effective, is glass can be cut with scissors if first submerged in waster. Scary but true. Look it up. The cutting must be done while the glass is submerged.

I don't think it's glass you're cutting. You can't cut glass with a hacksaw. I think it's a clear epoxy resin.

Does these accessories includes for portable table saw

Really nice job. Liked the video a lot. Thanks you.

When I got my table saw & wanted to rip some 4 x8 sheets it really made me nervous so I dropped the blade down set the fence & practised several dry runs untill I got the feel as to how to apply pressure to keep things straight since then no problems Having to work around a leg would get annoying real fast especially if you are doing a lot of ripping but that,s just me

I really like your idea I am going to build both of them for the same reason. Well done thank you for making the video. Jerry Fox

Hi Mike, I just watched this video and this is exactly what I have been cobbling to see what would be the best solution. Did your fence come with your saw or is that an aftermarket rip fence? That aluminum tray works great with your solution. My saw is the DeWalt DWE 7491rs does most of what I need. There is not enough room in front of the blade. Izzy Swan and Maggie came out with a small portable rig that clips in and out of that same type of setup. Izzy and Maggie started selling them and then decided they are not a production house. They had a few but not sure if someone else will pick up the work. Izzy and Maggie have switched over to the Harvey table saw solution. That is built like a tank. Stay Safe, Steven

Hi Mike, great video and what a cool looking table. The kind of thing I would like. Seeing the demo about how to eliminate any blade imperfections for 90 degrees was outstanding. Explained so clearly and something that I’ll definitely use in my work moving forward.
