This series is INCREDIBLE. Your determination, your ability to pull it off, and show it in such an entertaining and funny, yet, educating way require unique talents in engineering, creating, designing, machining, building, camera work, video editing, etc. etc. Huge congratulations and thanks a billion for doing it.
Hi Rotary! WOw, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do, nice work! I come, however, in search of answers! ;) You mentioned you spoke German and knew your way about a Maho. Music to my ears! Happen to know anything about the Vogel pumps? Nameplate says 110V but there are 3 wires (R, S & T) plus a ground. 110V/3-phase? Could it be?! Any help greatly appreciated!
Hi Old Tony, Nice to hear from you. I have really enjoyed the consistant quality of you videos. I am starting to learn how hard that it to acheive. Respaect. What model Vogel do you have? Mine is a Mini-MFE and it runs on 110VAC single phase. I have the manual for this model. If you post a scan ofyour manual to the MAHO thread on the LinuxCNC forum, I can take a look for you. forum.linuxcnc.org/12-milling/33035-retrofitting-a-1986-maho-mh400e?start=1520 Otherwise you can also contact me through the PM function of Practical machinist. Same user name.
Hi Tot, RST is almost definitely three phase power, similar to other three letter sequences UVW and XYZ to label phases at various point of the power distribution plant.
All kidding aside, it has been a great series. The transformation from turd to awesome, the effort put into it, and the sharing with the rest of us was a monumental task. Thanks for sharing the ride with us. Cheers
You can see the madness in the modifications done list. It starts of all big words than gets all squished into near chaos and finally the words get more spread out and even! Boy, It must have been some kind of holistic experience! Keep up the good work!
This is the video that convinced me to subscribe. I watched the air craft motor hanger vid, saw this then started at number one. Anyone making a multi start carrot holder is my kind of crazy 🤣
These videos are actually very encouraging for me. I see those mini lathes and everybody goes about tearing them down and rebuilding them just to get them to work. Only in this case, you rebuilt something finer. There's some things here I want to try myself now!
Or you could consider a gang tooling arrangement. Would be easier than a turret and possibly just as useful. Depends a bit on your cross slide travel, more is better! Folks can be a bit charmed by the idea of a turret, but some cnc lathes are gang tooling only. I tend to use both.
@@smallcnclathes I like what you do with your lathes. I doubt I will ever do really production runs of anything, so doing manual changes in the OXA QCTP is not a big deal for me. If I ever had a longer run of parts, I would also try o use gang tooling before going to a turret.
@@RotarySMP I have a friend in the UK who has no turret, he makes small parts. He makes blocks to go in the QCTP that will hold small drills and boring bars etc, two at a time, they work a treat for him.
Awesome! If you will add your tools in a tool table, it would be great to make a video too. Not really understand the touch of... I'm trying to figure out, but my QCTP heve only 1 dovetail. Will you use a linear tool change, or may be a turret? Or will you live the manual tool change? In the future I will need turret + linear tool change, but not figured out yet the needed changes in INI and HAL files.
I know what you mean. I have been meaning to learn the tool table use on the MAHO, but haven't got around to it. I only have one tool holder for the OXA at this point., so it is not yet an issue. Thanks for watching.
Did Machinist Authoritative Digest's first-cut-video-wars just kick off? Or did I miss out on universal vegetable holders being awarded a MAKE-IT-NOW in the 'Covid-lockdown-part-deux - essential-accessories-of-martial-bliss category'?

The Pi is 3.14159265.... Or this is an other Pi? But I do not understand the explanation... English not my first language. Did you share this code somewhere? And not really understand, how to use it in metric.
I was a joke. The code is on the LinuxCNC build thread... forum.linuxcnc.org/26-turning/38280-pimping-the-mini-lathe?start=250#185837 Thanks for watching.
Very nice work. I have to say I liked the scraping videos better than the computer videos. All that computer stuff sure adds a lot of work to home build cnc, ha ha. The washing machine picture literally had me laugh out loud. How do you like Onshape? I've been using ProE/Creo for 20 years at various day jobs, and just started one year ago with Fusion for hobby work.
The computor setup videos were more boring. Sorry about that. I mostly use Catia. Onshape is great for modelling. Also assemblies build easily, and the importing and exporting of STL's is easy, so I tend to use it for 3D Print models. The creation of ISO standard drawings is still a bit weak, with many ISO symbols not supported. I signed up for Fusion, meaning to learn it's CAM engine, but have not got around to it. I found Onshape much more intuitive than Fusion. Thanks for watching.
@@RotarySMP I've been taught that Magellan headed SW from Portugal until he reached South America, then proceeded to sail along the coast, heading for the southern tip of the continent, lost a couple of ships to currents and mutiny trying to find what later became known as the Straits of Magellan, then turned NW and a couple of months later he arrived at the Philippines where he was killed. IIRC Australia and NZ was discovered some 100 years later but don't quote me on that. Thanks for the video!
@@sniperasys I know, there is no record which human discovered Australia. It has been continuously inhabited for about 40000 years. Magellan sounds good in comedy. At least I thought so.
@@RotarySMP I'm a bit confused now. I just wanted to follow up on our discussion about the availability of ferrosilicon in bulk (i. e. more than a kilo / costing less than a fortune per kilo) quantities from a supplier in Budapest (whether you got to ordering some or not), and I've been puzzled by the apparent edits to your last comment. The last time I was getting the impression that you're gonna sort it out, but apparently you've changed your mind in the meantime.

Finally you done it! The carrot holder might just save humanity, and you did it with a golden turd.
That is a great summary. Thanks :)
These videos are actually very encouraging for me. I see those mini lathes and everybody goes about tearing them down and rebuilding them just to get them to work. Only in this case, you rebuilt something finer. There's some things here I want to try myself now!
Thanks for the feedback. If you have space for it, start with something with a more rigid bed. The Mini Lathe is a very compromised design.
This feels like the old adage, "Measure with a micrometer, mark with a grease pencil and cut with a chainsaw"......
I like that one. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see a matching nut for this fancy thread. I mean carrot works fine, but i am a bit concerned about it's strength
I think the nut was standing about 20 Chi behind the camera :) Thanks for watching.
Damn I needed a potato holder, I thought my dreams had finally come true, and you let me down.
Understandable. My first concept was gross, and I let Nico talk me into it being a vegtable holder.
as far as info goes, that was a carrot of gold
Balanced on the shoulders of a polished turd :) Thanks for watching.
One giant leap for carrot kind, great series. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Haha good one! Very nice build series, thanks for making it!
Thanks for watching.
I might be wrong but it looks like you're rocking some Stahlwille spanners. I use them too. Great bits of kit.
Oh yeah! I love Stahlwille spanners. I also have Snap-on for my imperial spanners, but prefer Stahlwille.
Here is me thinking you were going to make a Buff Mop holder for the grinder.
That would have been a good use of a similar thread.
awesome work man...glad to finally see it doing its thing
Thats you and me both. Thanks for watching.
Best thing I have seen in ages - bravo🤘
Thanks for watching.
Well you can't patent the carrot holder now but if you move fast you might still be able to corner the market.
:)
"What do you think it's gonna be?" - Well I'm pretty sure it's gonna be... some sort of "weird thread" 🤣
Good guess. Thanks for watching.
Now is that a male or female carrot ?
Hmm.... No comment :). Thanks for watching.
@@RotarySMP all carrots are binary-free
I'm never going to look at a carrot the same way again.
Is the Japanese pi different from a normal pi as you entered your constant as 3.24... not 3.14...
Everyone can define their own Pi :) Thanks for watching.
