@@MattysWorkshop Mate, its a useful skill to have. You seem to do it because you enjoy it, rather than doing it for the sake of it👍 One of the reasons I enjoy your channel.👌
Whenever I made a slight hic-cup on a piece of a jig or tooling for in-house use, it would become a prototype or proof of concept piece, if it worked it was fine. If you ever meet an engineer who claims never to have made a mistake, they are speaking with forked tongue. Good job Matty, stay safe and well, regards to all 👍
Hey Matty. Flash job mate. The internal female expanding bit, I cut a groove also.. but on the outside, end of the slots near the shoulder., also cut 3 slots., ie 6 segments..! You'd be surprised how much movement the collet makes,.. even Hand Tightened. ... and, for the male expandy bit, I used a 12mm bolt, and booker rod/all thread for "The Adjustable Stop." Amazing watching you do and explain it, how much work there is in it.
Hi Matty, I haven't looked at other comments so someone else might have made the same suggestions. On getting the tapered fingers to spread easier, make the taper only about 10 mm long (deep) and then bore it out behind. You did some but maybe not enough. Also cut another four slots, total eight. On the "drawbar" part, cut the taper only for about 5 mm and cut clearance behind. That way the "fingers won't be so stiff and the tapers are only working against one another over a maximum of 5 mm. At the moment you're working them over about 15 mm though you did undercut them behind a bit but still lots of drag. Otherwise a pretty good idea. Might just try one for my ER 25 ones. As big as I go at present. Already have a couple for the 5 C collets. Thanks for the video, stuffups and all. Regards from "upover" in Canada's banana belt.🤞🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊️🇦🇺🐨💩💥🏁👍
Gday, I’ll definitely be putting more slot in the taper which will improve it quite a bit, I like to show the screw ups in the videos, it’s what happens here, appreciate you watching, cheers
Great job Matty. Looks a treat. Put 8 slots in the taper and it will nip up much easier. The 1/4 of a circle does not like to move whereas an 1/8 will. Printers are a good source of all kind of parts. ATB regards from the UK
Gday, I’m definitely going to cut more slots in the taper, I did screw up there mate, the rods that come out of printers is pretty handy material, thanks for watching, cheers
Hi Matty, a great idea! I would suggest additional relief cuts every 45 degrees to ease the expansion of the taper. This will also work as a lathe spindle stop.
My thoughts exactly, 8 or even 16 segments would work. There shouldn't be much force on it. The collet holds the work in place. Pretty easy to make a couple more cuts.
My old man (RIP) woulda said that piece of rod has been laying around on your bench since Adam wore short pants and played full back for Jerusalem. 😜😂😂 Yet another great build Matty, & a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Nice job Matty 👍 A man after my own heart - don't throw anything away without first stripping it down and saving anything that may be useful (albeit in 18 months 😁). All the best, Paul
Nice job Matty! Yes I thought you were being very hopeful at single pointing the 8mm thread that long, but you did it mate. I though to myself "You jammy bastard," when it threaded on with no drama lol it clearly was a quality piece of steel with the right amount of toughness to resist the cutting forces of the tool. All in all mate it turned out very well. You are a much better machinist than you give yourself credit for. I think I might give one of those a whirl, the only thing I think I would do differently is to reduce the angle to around 6 degrees included instead of 10. It should make the deflection a bit easier and enable it to be done by hand. I will also do 45 degree slots to double the "petals" that expand. That should make it easier to expand it by hand. I hope you are feeling better after your treatment Matty and things are going well for you. Cheers from the UK. Sam
Gday Sam, thanks for your kind words, I have to put more slots in and that should fix that issue, the rod machined really nicely and bugger all deflection, appreciate you watching, cheers
Nice build! Taper ... it's the only thing I might have done different ... 8° (16 included) would have been my choice .. that's the standard for er32 collets and some engineer WAY smarter than me figured out it works best for such applications. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Matty, I was going to recommend that you cut more slots in the female taper, but I see that several others have already done so. If your coffee-colored coolant smells bad, look into getting an anti-bacterial additive for your coolant to kill the oil-eating bacteria. If you've got oil floating on top of your coolant in the sump, maybe get an oil skimmer to minimize the amount of "food" you're providing to the bugs. You might also consider adding a filter to your coolant system. If your sump is full of crud, you'll want to clean it out before adding new coolant to it so that you don't immediately contaminate the new coolant.
Hello Matty. That's a brilliant piece of kit. Plus designing and machining all the fiddly bits on the fly...that's impressive. Well done, mate. Cheers.
Estimado Matty, vivo del otro lado del mundo y veo todos sus trabajos, usted es admirable como profecional y como persona. Aquí en Argentina 🇦🇷 hay muy pocas personas que reunan esas cualidades al mismo tiempo. Le envío un afectuoso saludo❤👍
Hi matty hope your treatment is going well ,you’re looking good . Looks like a good project as I have a set of those collet blocks I bought for my retirement projects if I ever get time between doctors appointments and favours for friends,lol all the best John😎🐈⬛🇦🇺
As I can see, you use printer parts too. They are very nice pieces of steel. Nice little build, Matty. And I share the same idea that I read in the comments. Double the number os slots in the taper and it will work just fine.
Gday Rustinox, ill definitely be putting in more slots, that was a screw up there but easily fixed, the rods out of printers are pretty good material, thanks for watching, cheers
Hi Matty. Absolutely loving your channel!! I've come here from Steve's recommendation (another awesome RUclipsr!). In the few video's that I've seen, I've already learnt a heap of new processes and techniques. Liked and sub'd. Looking forward to the next vid'. Cheers, Pete. 🙂
my er40 collet blocks came threaded both ends for collet nuts so I use a 2nd nut with a 6mm collet holding a rod as my depth stop. Your impromptu redesigns came out ok. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Gday, certainly going to be handy tool to have and I really wasn't sure how long to make the threaded rod, Appreciate you watching and commenting mate, Cheers
Nice work Matty, warts and all but why not just thread the ends of the collet blocks and use the same idea for the stop but without all the screwing around with having an expanding taper.
Worked out fine in the end, I would have thought a shorter taper on the inside part would work better, as is you are trying to flex the whole length of the cut-out, all it needs is a small part of the tip to flex out in order to grip and spread, probably 10 - 15mm would be plenty taper on the plug, this will make it easier to tighten by hand too.

didn't watch it all, sorry if I missed something but how can you hold something at the tip of an ER?? ER collets need a minimum engagement length, or else they collapse
Another well-made project Matty. 👍Tis a good idea that one, but not being able to single point on my little lathe could make it a challenge, I'm wondering if maybe I could make one using a 1" or 25mm bolt 🤔
Interesting build. Thanks for the video. It’s good to see someone else besides me over shoots threads sometimes. How about cutting four more slits in the collar, to let it expand with less pressure? I’m now subscribed!
Gday, your not the only one that over shoots, it’s pretty common here mate, definitely be putting in more lots to make it work better, thanks for watching and subscribing, cheers
Nice build Matty. A thought on the taper....what if the male and female sides were a half degree off so they first engage as an interference then spread out to match? I too think there needs to be more cuts to have thinner sections.
Gday, Im going to put more cuts in and hopefully that'll make it work easier, your idea should work well to, Thanks for watching and commenting, Cheers

Matty, I am having another look at your work. Could you come up here to Central Qld, Tungamull now..😊 I have a million ideas, all the goodies, but have become to Ken Lazy to do the work.😅😅😊
Hi Matty. Do you think that reducing the length of the external taper to something like 5 or 6mm so that you are only trying to deflect the tips of the slotted section would make it more sensitive.
Nice job mate, never going to look perfect if you are just using what you have lying around the shop. Perfection costs brass and tin usually. Carry on cutting Matty.
Hey Matty great job as usual ! Do you think if you put more slits in your tapered collet it would make it more flexible and in turn make it easier to tighten up? Just a thought. Cheers
Only Matty's Workshop would make his own threaded rod! Good result overall mate. All the best. Cheers
