G'day Anthony. Thanks mate, but it's not that hard to do. You could do this easy on your Hercus machines mate. Trust you and the family are well buddy. Cheers, Aaron.
Thanks Micheal. Very much appreciated 🙏. Oh, the 1,2,3 blocks turned up too. I gave you a mention in the Aaron Engineering video at 4:55. Talk soon. Cheers, Aaron.
Thanks Peter. I was very pleased with the result. To be honest, I stuffed the first set due to an incorrect CNC work coordinate set up in Op-2 🤦♂️. Had to redo it and that’s why I shot the video 👍🍻
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering anytime Aaron! I have learned out from watching you. So cool we have the same machines, and definitely share the same interest in being a Machinist 👍
@@DGil504 That’s awesome, you have a Syil too. it’s an amazing trade isn’t it. I also still enjoy manual machining. That’s probably why I stated a second channel called Aaron Engineering.
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering yes it is Aaron. I am definitely addicted to machining! My syil suprises me each day, it's a great machine! That's so cool, I will check out and subscribe to your other channel Aaron. Cheers to you too mate! God bless!
@@DGil504 You're too kind, thank you 🙏. This is my other channel, it is predominately manual machining and non-cnc related. If you shoot me an email with your address I will send some channel stickers to you in the mail. Cheers & God bless. Aaron.
Hi Aaron, nice little job for the Syil. You achieved an excellent finish on those wheels. More of this type video please and well explained. Cheers Kevin
G’day Kevin. Thanks for the support and positive feedback mate. Yes my little SyilX7 is a great machine and is still going strong. I tried something different with this video edit, so I’m glad you picked up on it. 👍🍻
Love that you decided to do something a little different and print the holder for the Dremel. Looks like you had fun as well as got the job done - best kind of shop time in my opinion. Hope all is well, my friend. - TZ
G’day Tom. It’s great to hear from you buddy. Yes this was a fun little project. Did my dough 💰 on it though, as I stuffed the first set (didn’t clock the WCS properly on Op-2) 🤦♂️. Oh well, lesson learned the hard way. Cheers buddy, Aaron
Hey Marco, I believe these wheels support a stainless steel drum that rotates for harvesting. I am unsure what they're harvesting, but apparently the prototype worked and this is now the first actual test model. Cheers, Aaron.
G’day Matty. I bet your young bloke was drooling over those vintage truck photos from yesterday rally? Hey thanks for watching and your support Matty. Very happy with this part, although I did it back in late January and forgot to edit the video 🤦♂️. Cheers 🍻
Hahaha, thanks Max. I’m a lazy bastard aren’t I. I should have machined these manually on the Colchester. Gave you a little shout out tonight on my Workshop Rambles 😉. Thanks for watching. Cheers 👍🍻.
Hi Jody. Thanks mate, I appreciate your support. Hope you and the family are well? No doubt it's spring over there now and summer is just around the corner. Makes for some beautiful landscape in your part of the word. My old mate Fargo Kevin (Mechanical Advantage) loves this time of year. Cheers, Aaron.
This seems to work out well for your customer, but for optimal bearing journal fits a boring head is the way to go. CNC milling machines do not hold concentricity very well.
G'day Richard. You are absolutely correct mate. The best way to get a "true accurate concentric hole" is to bore or ream it. Circular interpolation is close (depending on the build quality of the machine) but it's not 100% accurate. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Aaron.
Hi Aaron, how you doin? For some reason I didn't get your notifications for a long time and wondered what had happened. Nice video. How did you set the two soft jaws to be in the right distance from each other and had the front jaw fixed in it's place? Funny thing is I did the same thing about 2 years ago and I have no recollection of how I did that...
Hi Dan. It's really nice to hear from you mate. Yeah, I've been rather slack on this channel lately. I've been concentrating on my other RUclips channel called "Aaron Engineering". Heaps of videos over there if you want me to bore you with ramblings and manual machining LOL. To answer you question, I used a parallel strip to offset the jaws. I measured the parallel strip and matched that in my CAD set up. However, when machining I set the WCS (G54 & G55) to the centre of the wheel. So it didn't really matter if the gap was identical or not. Hope this makes sense, or I can send you the CAD file if you want it. Cheers, Aaron.
Thanks Charlie. The grove was rather “Humpty Dumpty” of me as I didn’t have a grooving (slot cutter) tool. Customer was happy with it, so he should be as I stuffed the first set 🤦♂️. That’s another story buddy 👍🍻
G'day Andrew. How have you been mate? It's really good to hear from you buddy. Oh, feel free to say whatever you want mate. Taking the piss out of each other is what us guys do best. You should see me and my buddy Fargo Kev go at it LOL. Cheers, Aaron.
Hello Aaron, Cool video... and nice work... I downloaded confusion360 the other day, hopefully I'll start practicing with it soon... Keep up the good work. Take care. Paul,,
G’day Paul. OMG, confusion360 that is bloody hilarious 🤣. I haven’t heard that one before. Stick with it mate. Matty’s going great guns at it. He’s even been doing my online RUclips tutorials. Thanks for watching buddy. 👍🍻
Hey buddy how's things? Great to hear from you again. Thanks for the positive feedback. All things considered, the Dremel worked ok but it wasn't very rigid. I should have bought an O-Ring cutter or used some shaped tool steel in the lathe. Cheers, Aaron.
You found the finish and accuracy from the dremel OK? My experience with a dremel (would not ever be without mine) is that its bearings are crap - sintered bushes in fact! Also the use of a round bottomed o-ring grove is unusual - universally, square bottoms seem the more common as they allow somewhere for the rubber to deform into as it takes shape to provide the seal - or was this not a sealing application?... Martin
G’day Martin. Nice to hear from you mate, trust you are well? Yes the little Dremel worked well. Customer called for a round grove, although his CAD model was square. The O-Ring is used to drive and support a stainless steel round drum like a tumbler. He wouldn’t tell me exactly what it did. Model is in a prototype stage.
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Well - no not really - but it is what it is 😏 Tumbler type application - yep the round bottom grove makes perfect sense. Interesting how you use the ball mill for that chamfer, why not a straight angled cutter I am curious as knowing you there wil be a good reason....Martin
@@olfoundryman8418 Hi Martin. I really need to call you to pick your brains "grasshopper master". I want to have a crack at melting and pouring aluminium (castings), but have never done it before. Anyway, that's another story. To be honest, I could have simply used a a grooving tool on the lathe to do this, but I wanted to get creative and give the Dremel idea a crack. To be honest, I should have just used a tool in the CNC and completed it during in Op-1. Oh well, I was trying to be createmative (see, I can't even spell it) 🤣
G’day Mark, thanks mate 👍. I think it was 10mm (10K) or 12mm (8.5K) at 1500-1750 mm/min. I actually filmed this back in January and forgot all about it 🤦♂️. Cheers 🍻
G’day Peter. I don’t have a CNC lathe. However I could have made them manually on the Colchester. The main reason why I didn’t was “laziness” 😂. Thanks for watching. 👍🍻
Hi Aaron, loved that video. While using a lathe to make "round stuff" sounds obvious, the accuracy and repeatability of a CNC mill(or lathe) to do any shape is a simple choice. Not to mention the time advantages CNC brings. A wonderful level of technology that you can have in your own garage. Waahooo!!
lathe parts on a mill, how cool is that!
G'day Anthony. Thanks mate, but it's not that hard to do. You could do this easy on your Hercus machines mate. Trust you and the family are well buddy. Cheers, Aaron.
Nice job Mate.The video was very professional.
