Very nice to see the process from start to finish! I especially like the touch with adding hand flaking to the ways for oil retention! I'm mainly a CNC guy but this makes me want to make a nice manual mill when I have some spare money.
You should set available the plans… charging a reasonable price, so you can finance your future project… Wonderful and remarkable work😊…. Many Thxs for sharing! ❤
It is very likely that in a while I will make the drawings (which are not there yet) available for free to anyone who asks for them, just like I did with the Tiny Tool Grinder. And again I will then ask those who want to do something in return to donate a small amount to War Child.
Michel, using a tap wrench in combination with a tap follower doesn't make sense. They are not aligned. Attaching a hollow point on your tapguide works much better. Tip from the Knep. I enjoy watching your work! Best! Job PS; cutting speeds with the dovetail cutter seem rather high... Or is it the sped up footage? The grey color when anodizing depends on the amount of Silicium and Magnesium added for better machine-ability or breaking into short chips for automated cutting. The extruded quality is near pure and anodizes into a bright silver color. Cutting though can be problematic as it's a gummi material which galls the cutting edges of your tooling real easy. Lubricating the cut with an oil rich compound helps here. And last but not least; fill your files with chalk before using them. It fills the narrow end of the cutting edge and makes removing filing residue much easier. I tap the file during filing on a hard surface to losen the debris and a brass brush to clean it further. I would like a new fine brass brush by now but I don't know where to buy them. Do you have any ideas here?
Hi Job! Why should they not be not aligned? Are you referring to a wobble you see? Another reason to support this wrench with a tap follower is that it absorbs any excessive one-sided load on the tap and thus helps prevent breakage. I do have a hollow point tap follower, but with these small tap sizes my wrench is too thick, so the point is not accessible. When there is time and I feel like it, I will make a wrench with a ratchet that runs smoothly and true. I like to cut that chewy aluminum with some alcohol. Cheap bioethanol prevents galling, cools down and important for me, does not leave a greasy mess. That middle grey anodised layer is actually nice to see. Yes the footage is sped up (2x).
Brass brushes and tapping are familiar to me, the chalk isn't. You could try one of these. The amount won't bankrupt you, so maybe buy just all three: nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005262929347.html nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005262882423.html nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007511932942.html
@@Michel-Uphoff Michel, for bigger taps no real issue; still misaligned but no drama, for smaller ones it counts. Just for fun put a tap in a work piece in the lathe and run an indicator along the tap in the wrench. Ethanol works great but I don't use it in my cooling systems because of the fire hazzard. "Spiritus" was the first liquid I used for cutting soft aluminium. The family started complaining about my smell after a days work though. Hard anodized has also a nice grey color even on soft aluminium. Thank you! Best, Job
Yes. Simple steel precision blocks with 3 holes on two sides with a flat bottom. A thin-walled plastic tube with a neodymium magnet in it is pressed into the steel. The magnets are less than a tenth of a millimeter below the surface. One side with the positive pole upwards and the other side the negative. I use them a lot for all kinds of jobs.
@@Michel-Uphoff I think they are just amazing. I need to try making something similar. I just don’t have a lot of milling experience. I practice every day and I am improving
I really like the classical music! Would you mind including the name of the music used, perhaps flashing the name in a corner when a song starts? It's very nice, and I'd like to find some of it for myself.
That's ExtraLock from Gfittings. A fast curing very strong metal glue (Steel, brass, aluminium). It is very similar to Loctite 277, but less expensive here in the Netherlands. Shear strength is about 10 N/mm². For such a strip that amounts to roughly 2,500 kg. Degrease everything very well beforehand and a bit of surface roughness is a plus. By the way, those bolts stayed in there and the strip is locked into a recess. I don't think I'll ever see that come loose.
Its a recording of the Brandenburg Concertos played by the Slovakian Chamber Orchestra, director Bohdan Warchal 1978. Let's agree on this: De gustibus non est disputandum
Замечательная серия фильмов, спасибо, отличная работа.
Музыка Баха - потрясающая👍
Thanks!
Bach is, in my opinion, the greatest composer to this day.
Beautiful! I have to say your diagonal filing pattern really adds to the look
Prachtig weer. En zeer leerzaam !!! Bedankt Michel
I just discovered your channel, and love your work... And your music selection

I wish I had your skills, love the music it befits the standards you set yourself.

Many Thanks for sharing you work,... it is wonderful !!!
Keep on the good music,...

Very nice work sir. You are braver than me. I would love a milling machine, but I’m planning to buy it
Cheers 👍💪✌
Great videos and work !
Magnificent

If it makes you feel any better Michel; I can’t understand what this guy is talking about either (regarding tap follower/wrench misalignment)…
It's a pleasure watching a skilled craftsman creating such precise pieces. What are the black pads that hold your work for filing?
Sticky gel pads. see www.amazon.com/JIMISHA-Anti-Slip-Dashboard-Detector-Resistant/dp/B08C572S2B?th=1

Realy hard to listen to this terrible recording of Brandenburg 2!
Try the Freiburg Barockorchester or Il Guardino Armonico!

Turn the volume down! Snob.
The music really is a torture 😢
Yes, of course. It's only Bach after all. He didn't know anything about music. You do, thank goodness. Can't find the volume knob? Snob.
