I absolutely love machining, I love the culture. I learned everything I've known by talking the talk and taking the time to learn shop to shop. I love the learning atmosphere and the willingness of the old guys to teach the young and eager. Warms my heart.
I know the ritzy cnc guys would complain, but this is good stuff and still perfectly viable. Ive heard from old timers that if you cant afford both, then start with the lathe.
I have actually used this, my boring head had to be penned because it was a two piece construction. It worked very well! I made clamping blocks with pens. Thanks for sharing !
Not quite. Turning on a mill, yes but FACING on a lathe - LOL - I know what you mean tho - I gave it a thumbs down for that too. I'm going to try screwcutting / threading on my mill - at some point in the future - Machining by Mike !
OK, I'll show you that one ;) I also plan to do screwcutting/threading on a mill - for some completely odd-ball pitches. All to come someday on Machining by Mike. Feel free to subscribe ! (and notification bell etc.)
4:10 What are you faffing about at ? Touch the top of the cutting tool with the bottom of your work then move the X-axis by d/2. Why is the quill extended ? - Ahh, cheap mill ?
26:10 Quill power feed not working ? Use the knee power feed !!! What do you mean it hasn't got power feed to the knee ? Well that's your fault for buying a TOY milling machine !

Did the woman in the background ever finish killing that drill?
Yea definitely make sure u film the DRO while u start the cut…. Great vid
so turning on a mill and also turning on a lathe.. Noice!

Looks more like turning on a lathe, put the part in the tool holder and an end mill in the chuck and I'd call that milling on a lathe. 😜
Wow, what a rip-off video !
Thank you much.
How did u afford all that ?
That unfortunately did not help me much doing milling operations without a mill or a milling attachment.
You've taught them to make chatter!
You forgot to show me how to do a lathe AND mill part on a drill press. lol

23:05 You explained what you were going to do, getting me all excited - and then failed to show you doing it :(((((
10:20 Turning to a shoulder - "oops" moment - err, I think you forgot to set the quill stop !
it was to make clearance for the parting tool ;)
Voice too quiet and background noise too loud, I couldn't watch very long.
"Please like and subscribe..."
Absolutely no doubt this gets a thumbs down for failing to show milling on a lathe !
30:35 Move too far and hit that shoulder - you'll have half a tool flying through the window - lol.
I have only a Bridgeport. It can do anything.
But make money.
JK
No it can't !
It can't tram the head in ;)
Otherwise, they're very capable TOYS !
So what do you want me to show you ? ask on Machining by Mike ! There's one request here for turning and milling using a drilling machine.....
Jeez, I hope you bought a microphone, sorry could not watch it....
4:10 What are you faffing about at ? Touch the top of the cutting tool with the bottom of your work then move the X-axis by d/2.

31:00 Of course anyone with any sense doing this would use a
la....
rotary table.
6:10 Looks like the cutting tool is on parallels. You are really boring (but not boring ;) ) put the tool on a funny angle and enjoy yourself ;)
26:10 Quill power feed not working ? Use the knee power feed !!!
What do you mean it hasn't got power feed to the knee ? Well that's your fault for buying a TOY milling machine !
That’s a Bridgeport, not a toy.
29:40 Well this really is boring ! LOL - boring as F...k - What do you say Waldorf ?
