Welcome to my Channel with lots of happenings around my little home workshop. I spend alot of time fixing things which sucks because it stops me from what I enjoy doing, making things. When I do get the chance to make things it’s usually to expand the capabilities of my existing machinery. Why have 3 machines when with a little bit of imagination you can have one machine to do 3 different jobs, this is especially so when money and space is tight. Down the track I'll get my foundry up and going again but greatly scaled back from where it was a couple of years ago.

Making Adjusting Feet for the Victor Lathe
Hi there, great video. Looking to do something similar. Unfortunately I don’t have the jacking screws for my Victor 400x1000 lathe. Do you happen to know the thread specs ?
I just watched your video on cutting the 127 tooth gear - that stepper controlled dividing head is gold.
That gift you made is fantastic. A pleasure to see such great workmanship. PS the drive pulley and ss door excellent work as well!
Thank you for the comment. Cam
Thx, dad.
Fuck sake can't anyone get into fixing the fucking problem without the life story....I'm out
Very nice work sir. A DRO is so handy
Happened to me from the other side, luckily i had a hammer and hinges with the pins in, knocked the pins out and took the door off
I wish I could like this video a thousand times.
hi Cam labels arrived i will give a shout-out on the next video
G'day John and Michelle, I received your stickers on Friday (love the card). Next video I'll give a shout out on my sticker board. Cam
@@camatbattler2233 great Cam look forward to video
A very interesting melt furnace, I'd like to see more content using this furnace!
G'day CA, hopefully when my foundry building is complete I can get back to using the furnace and post some videos. Cam
@@camatbattler2233 are there any shareable drawings of the melt furnace and lift system?
G'day CA, the drawings I have are stick layouts to confirm the action of the lift. No real drawings unfortunately. Cam
I just lifted my sixis mill approx. 850 kg with my engine hoist to my new workshop. I set the arm at 1000 kg range and lifting went fine. I only noticed offloading from the trailer that the hook was not in the centerline anymore, it has shifted a bit to the side. I only use the hoist for lifting and have now fitted wood beams under all my machines so i can do the moving with my pallet truck. Also saves on the floor, the metal casters are so bad. I can now move all my machines and workbenches with my pallet truck and easily move equipment out of the way when projects require.
I know you are glad to have this project complete and the lathe up and running. Sweet little piano.
G'day Tom, yep finally got the Victor up and running. Very happy with the result. Rose is very happy to have her 20th Birthday present repaired. Looks like you have been busy in the shop too. Cam
Gday Cam, the lathe job put up a decent fight in the end but you won the battle, the boiler door really looks the part and the piano is truly a masterpiece mate, absolutely beautiful, cheers
I can almost here you saying to your wife you cant rush perfection hon. Look she's all fixed up.
G'day John, I could try that one but after 28 years of waiting I don't think it would fly. Cam
Good one Cam . Nice bit of ornamental work there ! 👍
Thanks Max, I did a lot of that type of stuff when I was a young man with a lot of imagination. Where did it all go? Marriage, kids, work etc. Cam
you can't rush these things!
Well done. You do good work. Now you also have a happier wife.
G'day Bob, yep killed two birds with one stone. It did bring back memories of the work I originally put into it. It was all worth it though, coming up to 38 years of marriage. Cam
Hi Cam. It all worked out well. One tool I use a lot with Allen keys is a very small diameter cheater bar (about 6 inches long) for nipping up and breaking free cap head bolts and grub screws. Simple little gadget, but just enough to save your fingers and hands and put a lot more torque on the job. Invaluable. Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob. Cheater Bar, where can I get one. The arthritis in my hands is starting to be a pain and any tool that helps that out I'm interested in. Cam
@@camatbattler2233 Hi Cam. I just use a 6" length of small diameter (1/2") steel gas pipe with a bit of knurling on half the length. It also is great to use on the short end of "L" shaped keys where you are using the long section to get into jobs. It's always in my go to drawer :) Much better than trying to use a small shifter. I did a video on it years ago : ruclips.net/video/Yi-AORSXvvg/видео.html Cheers Rob
Great thanks Rob, I'm going to make a couple up for different sizes. Cam
Nice one, Cam. That piano is a real beauty.
G'day Rusty, yep I had some talent when I was a very young man. It's wayned a bit over the years. It did bring back memories though. I've been watching the James Watt micrometer build, a nice little challenge. Cam
I fitted a pushbike disc brake when I did the motor change, it was too hard to reuse the band brake.
G'Day Harry, interesting solution. I'll keep that idea in mind if I ever need to fit a brake to any other machinery. Thanks. Cam
So 28 years, Rosemary only had to remind you 56 times about the repair. Well you always was going to get around to it!
G'day Steve, yep I'm one of those I'm Gunnar get that done when it comes to my wife's little asks but it's done. But it was only 28 years. Cam
Hi Cam, very brave carting Hno3, aka nitric acid on a bus, would have eaten through the floor if spilt. I worked in a plant were we made ammonia first, then nitric acid and finally ammonium nitrate, 100 tonnes per day for the mining industry. Interesting process.
G'Day Willem, funny you should say that. The guys at James Officer asked how I was getting home. When I told them I'm catching a bus they found some foam packaging and cut out a cavity in the two halves put the bottle inside with an up arrow on the outside and Gaffa Taped it together. I don't think I would be to keen working around Ammonium Nitrate. Funny though because I work in the Oil and Gas Industry. Cam
Hi Cam, I was responsible for the Instrumentation, Inlec. Nothing organic near the stuff, we couldn't use anti seize on flange bolts etc, made it interesting at turnarounds for maintenance due to the corrosive nature. Always worried me about the heavy concrete blast wall around the Reactor!
And for people with budget sino units like 2s ..... if you are in radius mode and want diameter, enter setup and double the x axis value ie set your 5um scales to 10um
Can you please explain why the tool is tilted at an angle, if it was flat to the bed the insert edge would still be the lowest point. I think cutting the tool on an angle is a leftover idea for when there were flat HSS toolbits. With the insert protruding beyond the toolholder body on insert tools you are using, is this angle required?
G'Day Marley, angling the tool further reduces the rake angle on the front in the direction of feed. I have a straight fly cutter that I tried this tool on, it was like cutting under the skin of a chicken. It skimmed under the surface and didn't create a chip, just created a thin skin. With the angled cutter it creates a nice chip and I can cut deeper with less rake. Cam
@@camatbattler2233 Thanks mate. I assumed that the depth of these finishing cuts would always be less than the radius of the insert to reduce clatter making the approach the same at these shallow depths of cut. I understand that this is not desireable at larger depths of cut but if it was an issue why not use a square insert at 45 degrees or a round insert, both set flat? There seemed to be a lot of extra work to replicate the angle on old style flycutters that were designed for flat sided square HSS toolbits that did not have the advantage of the cutting tip above the tool face.
Hi Marley, the type of tool used was what I had at hand. Its a left hand insert tool the I use vary rarely so I thought I would get some more use out of it in a Fly Cutter. Maybe one day I'll buy a Button Insert Tool and try that but this does exactly what I wanted it to do, leave a brilliant finish on the part when required. Cam
But I’m stuck on the other side
Looks like you have a very nice tool there Cam. 👍
Hi Tom, yep it was a quick easy one but one I've been meaning to make for a long time. Cam
@@camatbattler2233 I know the feeling. Too many shop projects to do and not enough time to get to them all.
Well done! Leaves a nice finish..
Hi DK, yep I'm very happy with it. Cam
Gday Cam, you really can’t beat a fly cutter finish, I’ve been using a Palbit DCMT insert lately, I was using cheap eBay specials previously, the difference between the 2 inserts is very noticeable as well as the longevity of the insert, great build mate and thanks for the mention, cheers
G'Day Matty, thanks for looking in mate. Its my first build for quite a while, got a lot happening at home right now so not a lot of time in the shop. I'm very happy with the finish it leaves, 0.5mm is probably about the max I would take buts its great for finishing off parts. Thanks for the push along to do this one. Cam
A button insert face mill of an appropriate diameter takes a lot of beating. Balanced tool, higher rpm, much faster feeds, and much less impact on the part and spindle bearings. Modern ground inserts in modern close tolerance pockets with multiple inserts engaged all lead to a virtually flawless finish in a fraction of the time.
Hi, yep totally agree, a good face cutter with quality proprietary tips does leave a great finish. Yes the unbalanced dynamic of a Fly Cutter can be a problem. My largest face cutter is 80mm diameter. The Fly Cutter will comfortably machine out to a 150mm diameter with a very good result. I think I will only use this where the finish makes the part look good to the eye, for 90% of work I do the facing cutter is fine. Anyway it was a fun project to do on the side. Cam
Gday Cam, for some reason I missed the upload, I’m off to watch part 2 now, great job mate, cheers
G'Day Matty, just saw your post. I'm very happy with the final result as you can see. Cam
Hi Cam, my OCD kicked in when I made mine, used a ball mill to finish the relief, didn't want the square edge. All blued in my pottasium nitrate aka salt petre bath. Readily available here in Philippines for Mango agriculture and gunpowder for fire cracker manufacture.
G'Day Willem, now that's the sort of stuff we can't get here in Australia any more. I used to love making smoke bombs with Potassium Nitrate when I was a kid. This thing if very bulky so I don't expect any failures with it. I am very happy with the finish it leaves. Cam
Nicely done!!
Thanks twoprop, its going to be great for finishing parts out. Cam
Hello sir Many thanks for posting the video, setting up the Sino DRO for Radius display. I had tried countless times to follow the instructions in the manual, without success. And I must say that the procedure in the video is different. The best greetings from Jens Skovsen live in Denmark.
Nice work. I definitely need a fly cutter. Thanks gave me ideas
Hi Rusty, its been one of those tools I've always wanted but never got around to making one. All sorted now and I'm pleased with the final result. Cam
Cam I realise you are already on your way with building this Fly Cutter but have you looked at the Suburban tool fly cutter ?. I am going to make one based on their design. I already have the LPR 100mm fly cutter but wasn't totally happy with it when fly cutting 160mm wide aluminium cylinder head.
Hi Steran50, yep I have seen those units and they look very nice. Maybe something I could look at making in the future especially for machining the larger plate sizes. Doesn't look like it would be a big job. Cam
Good to see you back in the shop. Nice fit up.
Thanks Tom, its was good to spend some time doing some of my own project work and take a break from the paid work. Cam
looking good
Thanks Graedonmunro. Cam
Great❤
Thanks for looking in. BTW, nice spread of video's on your channel. Cam
Looking good! I had similar thought to use a shell mill holder.. Looking forward to next video(s) Thanks for sharing
Hi DK, just a heads up it worked out well. Cam
Good one, Cam. Keep those videos coming.
Thanks Rusty, I do enjoy doing the videos but unfortunately other stuff always gets in the way. Cam
Great to see another video and looking forward to part 2
Thanks twoprop, next one coming this weekend. Cam
Thank you , you’re video just save my daughter life today ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Lequita, so glad you got your daughter out. I hope she is OK. Cam
Thank you, Sir. Lots of videos around on stuck latches, but not for when the door is CLOSED haha.
👋👍
Hi Cam, greetings from Canada! I have that exact same lathe, that I overhauled completely. Rescraped the ways, fresh bearings and seals. I'm missing some of the change gears for metric threads. What module and pressure angle did you cut them to? Seems like Module 1.75 and PA of 20 degrees, am I correct?
Spot on, module 1.75 @ 20 Degree Pressure Angle. Cam
I have mine setup so that a 1mm reading on my DRO actually reduces the Diameter by 1mm. i.e the tool would only move in by 0.5mm. Hope that makes sense All the best
Also I try to lower onto a pallet jack now adays
You have an incredibly well equipped mill! Congratulations.
Thank you.
so you wouldnt recommend this option then
OK, would I recommend this unit. Yes, but under certain conditions. The motor was a 7.5hp unit, probably the largest you would use in a standard domestic power supply. This thing creates an enormous amount of heat driving this size motor and I modified the cooling arrangement with the thermal switches. This may have been a trigger for the failure. I think this unit would probably be OK with a smaller motor. Cam
awsome, I just picked up an old Harrison with 3hp 3phase motor, might have to give it a try
Is there anything an electrician dould do to modify the circuit board of the busted VFD to make it better before using?
G'day Dutchy, I had a very experienced Electrical Engineer look at it. Apart from what is obvious we don't know what other damage may have occurred. It was cheaper and less of a headache to go with what I know works. Cam
I liked the mug. It takes me back to my tour of Alcoa's Point Henry pot rooms. The magnetic fields were impressive - not unexpected with currents around 100,000 Amps DC flowing in the pot busbars. (The little engine on top of the mug was good too.)
