@@paulhewitt1488 Thank you. Yes, that loco was in fantastic condition. The Swanage Railway is nice but its a shame it doesnt go all the way to Wareham.
@@carlwhite8225 Thanks very much! Hopefully this will feature in the next video, when I get round to filming something. The mill is in bits at the mo. Y axis leadscrew is binding.
@@thomasstover6272 Thanks Tom. Its a long way from being perfect. The motor is underpowered and there are other design aspects that could have been done better, but you dont know till youve tried.
Gosh ! That was a lot of work, hopefully it will prove to be a very useful resource for your workshop. First results certainly look very promising. Marvellous job, i do admire how you designed it as you built it.
@@colindrakes4607 Yes, it was a lot of work and I videoed most of it, so the editing was a mammoth task too! I could have drawn everything up in 3D first, but there's always something you'd miss. Like not being able to bore an accurate bearing fit 100mm down a tube!
Ottimo lavoro e ben realizzato! Adesso manca solo una protezione contro la polvere giusto sotto al ram , altrimenti la povere della mola và a depositarsi sugli ingranaggi e nell' olio 😢
Thank you. You're right, it does need better dust control. I'd like to fit my extractor unit to it, like the surface grinder has. Some protection on the aperture under the ram would be good too.
@@badjuju6563 I tried iso68 oil but it sounded very rattley, so I greased them instead. The grease was the stuff I use for bearings on my bicycles... because its what I had!
Same with the result from any machine tool. It wasnt intended to be a surface grinder replacement. I'll show its intended use in the next video, when I get round to recording it!
Love your shaper. You do spectacular work. Great job.
Terrific machining job with a really good result, thank you so much. Love the steam train 👍👍

Robert, that is absolutely Genius, very nicely done and I look forward to the next project, thanks as always.
@@carlwhite8225 Thanks very much! Hopefully this will feature in the next video, when I get round to filming something. The mill is in bits at the mo. Y axis leadscrew is binding.
Very nice work! Some innovative work holding too.
Lovely work, and a very useful thing to have! Thanks for sharing, Robert!

Great video,great machines,Robert.Thank you.
@@angelramos-2005 Thanks. I'm almost ready to do the follow up and actually use the grinder for what it was intended!
Another great project and video production too. Making your own wavy washers - yeah!
@@ianpendlebury9503 Thank you! I looked at buying wavy washers but they were stupidly expensive for what they are!
This is a great creator don't understand why he hasn't got more subscribers
@@dazinull Thanks! My presentation style might not be exciting enough for some?
Excellent Robert!.... Another top quality video as well.
Looking forward to watching you use it in "anger"😃👍🏻
@@GenauMann Thanks! I'm fixing my mill at the mo. Swarf jamming up the Y axis leadscrew - its unshielded by design.
That's something new, nicely done.
@@K_Shea Thank you. Hopefully it'll work for what I want to do with it

What a beautiful idea. thanks for sharing.
@@sky173 Thanks!
That sure was a fun build. And it works.
@@Rustinox I enjoyed building it! Yes, it works, just about. It wouldnt cope with a heavy cut mind.
Cracking video just subscribed
Thank you! Glad you liked it.

hello.toujours de l'excellent travail . bonne continuation .
@@mayhem7090 Thank you, or should I say merci beaucoup!
Brilliant
@@Paul-pl4vy Thanks!
Very nice finish! Can you wring a Jo block to that surface??
@@tonyc.4528 I wish! It's an ok ground surface, but I bet under the microscope it looks like a relief map of the Himalayas!
@@ThePottingShedWorkshop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What are you using for lubrication in the grinder spindle bearings?
@@badjuju6563 I tried iso68 oil but it sounded very rattley, so I greased them instead. The grease was the stuff I use for bearings on my bicycles... because its what I had!
Was that Mr. Crispin's brothers toothbrush that you were using on those left-hand threads?
@@billdoodson4232 🤣 I don't have compressed air, so I use brushes to remove chips.
Of course, the results are only as flat as the ways of the ram. I'd like to see how a resulting surface blues up on a surface plate.
Same with the result from any machine tool. It wasnt intended to be a surface grinder replacement. I'll show its intended use in the next video, when I get round to recording it!
