  • A log of my build of the Versatile Dividing Head as designed by George H Thomas.
    In this part I machine the division plates ready for drilling and make a start on the sector fingers.

    Rotary SMP sent me here. I'm in no way disappointed with your videos, i must say. I, for one, would love to watch you making a die filer. Or anything, really. :)

      Thanks for the input! I'm glad you are enjoying the series. With so many projects in the works it is hard to know where to go next!

    A die filing video series would be awesome, especially if it could translate to other lathe designs.

      Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. If I buy the kit I will certainly look at possible options for non-Myford users.

    I have just seen the 9 parts one after the other in a row. I took me 2 hours, however there are very entertaining: congratulations for this. For a new channel, the quality of both the footages and sound is perfect. Comments are also appropriate. At 07:25: sure, if the series is equally entertaining.
    (discovered your channel thru Rotary SMP also).

    A big +1 on the Hemingway filer - I've also been thinking about this, or the MLA one sold in the States. (I'm also curious about where to acquire files for it!)

    • @DrillsTapsDies
      @DrillsTapsDies  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for the input. I have just had a look and that MLA filer seems to be a much more refined piece of kit than the Hemingway one. I have a suspicion that you use regular files and just ignore the reasons why you shouldn't!

  • @deanfranks8242
    @deanfranks8242 2 года назад +2

    would love to see the die filer. freight makes anything from U.K. very expensive to the U.S. but love Hemmingway's stuff is great.

    • @DrillsTapsDies
      @DrillsTapsDies  2 года назад

      I have been looking at some kits from the U.S. also and you are quite right. I think Hemingway do an export option where they leave out all of the bar stock for you to source locally but I can't imagine it makes a huge difference. Thanks for the input.

    Hi, interesting build so far I have been interested in one of these for some time so interested in the outcome with ref: to a die filer that also would be an interesting build.Thank you and see you again soon.

    • @DrillsTapsDies

      To be honest, I am also interested in the outcome! If nothing else I am enjoying the journey! Thanks for the die filer input!

    I’d certainly be interested in the die filer build. I’ve been looking at the Hemingway kit as it seems to be the only commercially available one in the UK - all the others seem to be from the US and postage makes getting one of those prohibitively expensive.

    • @DrillsTapsDies
      @DrillsTapsDies  2 года назад

      Yes - I have just been looking at the MLA filer which seems to be a lovely piece of kit but shipping would be a killer! Thanks for the input!

    I missed the notification of this episode from YT. Nice workmanship as always. Is that a shop made boring head?

    • @DrillsTapsDies
      @DrillsTapsDies  2 года назад +1

      Thanks. Yes - I wanted a small, solid parallel shank boring head so I could hold it in all of my machines and run in reverse. Couldn't find one commercially so had to make it! The business end is a scaled down version of one TOT showed some years ago.

    I do not have a myford lathe but would still like too see the die filer from Hemingway Kits. For Lathes

    What type of mill are you using?

    • @DrillsTapsDies
      @DrillsTapsDies  Год назад

      It is a generic mini mill. Mine is a Sieg SX2p I believe but all versions are much the same. I would love a similarly sized older machine but they don’t come up for sale often. At least not at the right price!
