No low flow, no blockage impeller replace sensor replaced no blockages filter new what am I missing?

I have got one of these on order - originally tried to get a used one like you but they where all either badly worn or expensive so ended up biting the bullet and investing in a new one from Colchester, it cost a small fortune but will hopefully last me a lifetime, I did consider a Master or a Triumph but they would have just taken up a bit too much room in the garage and obviously cost more! - Can’t wait for it to arrive!!

If you want to really find out if your taper is good then you should blue it and make corrections. Just plonking it in and saying it feels fine is a shite procedure. I will not smash that button.

Joe were'd ya go

you can also make a spring loaded center point to fit anything from a center punch to a 1 inch hole.

Thanks Joe. Excellent video mate.

Will any of these upgrades allow you to turn a 22 inch diameter gear blank?

The red but is a spacer shim . Should be removed after fitting.

Well done. Getting ready to install the same DRO. Cheers

Awesome series please don't stop making them regards from Townsville Australia

What the hell is a “lave”? It’s no wonder non English speakers have so much trouble understanding English!

Sou fã mesmo... profissional nota mil sou mecânico Nestlé Brasil gosto muito trabalho assim se Loko 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent detailing. all the best and be blessed..

"what a lovely surface finish that is" Sorry, but it's not a great finish. As you do more grinding, you'll begin to see the defects. I think most of the problem here is aggressive cuts and large step over. Don't worry, you'll figure it out. Neat little machine.

I'm loving that MT3 insert kit. I taught myself machining for my job and I'm always open to learning new stuff.

Essential MINI Lathe Upgrades..........remove oil fill cap and throw the rest of it away !!!!!!

Everything under 2 Tons is a minilathe😉

Good luck finding a pump! Thanks for the confirmation I am not crazy after all!

Um sonho ainda Deus quiser 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do you not need to add a limit switch to the power feed so it doesn't run into the chuck?

Would be more useful if it had the oil types and viscosity you used but nice lathe

Nice one! Cheapest way of doing "about 20mm" is wrap insulating tape around the drill "about 20mm" from the end😂

Very good video. My question is how do I wire another switch in to change direction of the motor? I want to use a DPDT center off 6 pole momentary switch to change the direction of the motor. The two wires that are connected to the center 2 posts of this switch are the ones that get reversed depending on which way you move switch. Which two wires would I hook to these center posts that would control the direction of the motor?

Just wait until he has to retract the quill to remove a drill chuck or live center, and he'll realize what a kluge this is.

I suggest adding 20% to the budget and purchase the hardened races that are normally available with thrust bearings. If you were able to part off the steel used for your DIY washers they weren't hard enough and will deform under load.

What length of scale did you use

Another quick way to check if the wires are a pair is if you hold two of them together and can spin the motor if the motor is tougher to turn when there touching. Saves having to bust out the ohm meter

Odd when you come across a video and find out left a comment 2 years ago

WM180 have a pre-installed DRO option, although waiting for new stock at the moment.

Nice

I’d sooner just buy a Hemingway knurling tool - rather than buy a kit and make one. Sadly that doesn’t appear to be an option. 🙄👎

Have done my super mini and whole heartily agree.

The new lathes WM 180 are brushless.

Joe's videos are fantastic. But his machine safeguarding needs work #comeatmebro

Surely the force on the leadscrew will be on the inner face when the vice is tightened? I've got a Vevor vice on my mill and to be fair, it was just fine out of the box. For the money, they are hard to beat. Very impressed with the quality of the grinding and the general flatness and tolerances when measured on my surface plate.

Didn't you harden thrust washers before grinding them? 'Soft' washers are a waste of time with needle rollers. From video's I've seen, and after buying a Chinese mill vice, they are not particularly accurate, as mentioned in other comments, base and working surface are not parallel so anything machined in them tapers between 0.004" and 0.006" across width of vice jaws (4"~5") I haven't even measured front to back yet. I guess scraping bottom surface co-planar with jaw surface could fix things and would still be way cheaper than buying KURT or similar at £6~£700.

$800 in matching and you have one half as good as a Kurt, I did enjoy the video, though. 😊

I'm confused about the Lead Screw Power Feed motor. Doesn't your lathe gearbox turn the lead screw, making the external motor superfluous? Otherwise...Great video! Thanks for putting this together.

I have a round column mill and it’s not user freindly

I’ve got a large scale machine shop and can handle multi tonne workpieces but I really fancy one of these for little jobs and not get a hernia lifting my Cincinnati one!

Your M300 being metric, you have metric measurement on the cross and compount slides ? Any chance you could tell me or show in a video the markings / measurements please. I wish to convert from imperial to metric I really dont like working in imperial

Nice job. Just bought one at auction that’s seems stuck. This should help.

Most tapers we cut can be done with a nice clean file

I have the Warco super mini so this video is ideal, never having cut threads before.

Great video, process well explained and easy to follow.

nice work Joe!

Hey Joe...where have you been???

Great vid fella, have you considered adding a limit switch to the power drive feed so that I is stopped say 3mm from the chuck, as you useing a QCTP you probably never use odd tools for stock removal, a limit may be the final element in a great idea

I bought china junk and invested my time fixing a band new vice. Then I bought a Kurt DX4 and a DX6. Buy once, cry once.

It's easy to fall into the "it's only two inches" trap, while technically true, a more appropriate description would be 50% bigger. Everything is half again bigger on the 6" compared to the 4".
