I Test the Metal Masters Flycutters
I test out a flycutter with a unique design that according to the manufacturer is made for low power machines. It uses a round insert that leaves a remarkable finish.

In this video I make and test the Swag Off Road Finger Press Brake Kit (not sponsored). I weld everything together using my new ArcCaptain MIG 200 (not sponsored) and then try it out making some shelf brackets. If you're interested in either the press brake or the welder links are below. Again, neither of these companies sponsors me in any way. @Swagoffroad @arccaptain-weld www.swagoffroad.com/...
I make an Olly Tool Setter!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In this video I make my version of an Olly Tool Setter for setting the height of lathe tools. The original Olly Tool Setter was designed by Neil from@NellsMechanicalManCave and it is called an Olly Tool Setter because he named it after Olly from @ollysworkshop because Olly gave him the material. In my opinion this style is much easier to use than the traditional style that just has a fixed arm ...

      It's been a great tool. I would definitely buy it again. I haven't made a summary video but I've been thinking about doing a shop tour video and I could include that kind of content in it for all of the machines. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Precision Matthews. And I've paid retail for everything I have.

    • @MicksWorkshop
      @MicksWorkshop 4 месяца назад

      Most of the time nothing, but the chop saw makes a huge mess of large sharp very hot chips. And it's extremely loud. I'm not in a hurry so I prefer the band saw. In fact I sold my chop saw.

  • @anthonycash4609
    @anthonycash4609 5 месяцев назад

    I've been a welder for over 45 years and the best thing you could do is get rid of that flux core wire and switch over to gas . You would find that you could weld much better. Flux core wire is made so you can weld outdoors on a very windy day where the wind blows the gas away . Also when using flux core wire remove the nozzle tip on your lead its not needed .

    • @MicksWorkshop

      Yes, it's an Evolution saw and blade. I've since sold it because I prefer to use the band saw.

    I was thinking of doing something similar with oxidized metal like you did with the blues metal. When you removed the bluing was the surface you revealed metallic like an in blued piece or a bit dull?

      It was a pretty flat finish, almost a bit yellow. Definitely not shiny steel.

      @@chrome72 I don't know. What would you oxidize it with? If I have any I would be willing to try it. I haven't tried brass at all. On aluminum all it did was cut into it, but with stainless steel it cut and it left a black finish. Normal steel it left a finish similar to the blued steel.

    • @chrome72

      I'll let him know. For him it's not so much a hobby as it is a side gig, and he doesn't really know anything about the rest of the work involved in making videos, so he doesn't want to invest the time. He has offered however to let me record some more videos about some of the stuff he's made, like his lathe radius turner. If that's of interest I'll talk to him about it.

      The inserts do not rotate when in use, but like other round inserts you can loosen them and rotate them to a new cutting edge. I will definitely be using them on future projects. Hopefully I hear back from the company soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!

      According to the Alumiweld web site: "ALUMIWELD is a welding rod that is able to repair any aluminum metal by using a PROPANE TORCH ! Also will repair Zinc based metals, (Pot Metal), Mag-Alloy and Galvanized Steel all with a propane torch. AlumiWeld is capable of repairing copper and brass to aluminum." Given that it is specified that it will work with materials other than aluminum, I thought I would try it to attach stainless steel to carbon steel. Worst case scenario, I need to make it again and use more traditional brazing techniques. I really doubt that it's going to come apart, I've literally banged it on the welding table and it's still stuck tight.
