This video saved my day. Thanks a lot, Sir!

In an aircraft I would never never ever use stainless hose clamps. Do proper safety wire connections that can’t come undone unless you deliberately undo them and then replace them with new properly done safety wire connection. Screw clamps can’t hold that well and I’d never risk my life to one. Use proper aircraft connections.

7" cut off wheel for a skil saw i put on old table saw. 1/2" bench grinder wheel, shape with a diamond to half round. Was fast. That web site is cool. Thanks for posting.

I wish you would have shown machining the collet itself. Maybe the next time…

Is this seamed or seamless tubing? Thanks

Nice shop Doug

This is an old video so you may not receive this, but my question is regarding zeroing the cutter. I am very new at this so if you skip a step I am lost. You said you plugged the 1.875 into the screen? The number doesn't register and I have no idea what that meant? Where did the 1 in 1.875 come from and how do you "plug it into the screen"? I assume "touching it off" meant finding the axis coordinate by touching the end mill to the work piece, but how do you save it for the calculation? Do you touch off both the X and Y axes and then somehow save it to the DRO? I understand that the end mill diameter moves the cut center line probably by calculating new coordinates internally, but I don't understand the starting point calculations to zero the end mill. The rest is straightforward, and maybe I am just stupid, but I have to pay close attention to the terminology because I am not familiar with some of it. I just finished installing the EL400 on my mill and that went very well. Now I am looking forward to using it for more than drilling holes or cutting grooves. Thanks

It's always nice when the source for the items shown are provided. IE emergency collets and those precision (gauge set) dowels. Wakodahatchee Chris

Hi and thanks for your video showing the biax scraper! Can you tell me the internal diameter of the bushings? Would be great, thanks!

Is there any reason your using grease instead of oil?

Now show how to take an e-collet to size with only a turret lathe without x feed.

Will probably work well once you get the feel for it.

The tool produced a nice looking bend . Considering the number of bends required on the parts you are making and the speed and ease of making each bend , the $150 was a good investment .

I love seeing what Doug is up to in his work shop. I think I might have a bit of a man-crush on him...

THANK SIR

when you say cold rolled steel, is that like an 1018? or something special, more suitable for bearings? you've been so precise with the rest, that it really confused me when you just stuck in scrap steel bushings with undressed bores. what am I missing? Original looked like it might be cast iron? was it hard? I expect it was.

Thanks! I just unboxed my DROPros EL400 DRO like yours. Saw your install video as well. My mill isn't nearly as clean as yours. I think I need to spend the first day cleaning it!

Were you able to use the 90 degree elbow on the ballscrew? I have the same arizonavideo99 kit and a PM-25MV but there is not enough clearance on mine for the elbow. It hits the ribs in the casting of the column.

Beautiful. Like the color scheme. What engine do you have there?

Hey! What screwdriver did you use?

I purchased a similar system at Home depot. Snaps right to the 5 gal. Bucket. I also used it for surface grinder application ant it worked great. The bigger problem is the cheap shop vac hoses flex and knock the bucket over because it's so light. Consider adding a base with ca

Just out of curiosity, what kind of concentricity did you have using hard jaws vs boring a set of soft jaws?

By compensating the initial zero of the tool diameter and then compensating the compensation in the angle calculation is a net value of 0. Cant you just 0 the tool and leave the arc configuration at 0 and its the still same thing?

I'm interested in building something like this to power some machines that I have what is the voltage output of your panel to your equipment

Thanks so much for showing how you found the angle. I think I can use your method to find the angle on the internal taper of a hub.

I love fixing old machines in fact I fix old machine to help me fix old machines…. thanks for sharing.

This was very useful for me. I bought the same model that you have a couple of weeks ago and any insight into the machine is a big help. Thanks, very much

Nice!

You also get a bit of storage underneath something like a metal sander base.

Hello , thank u for the video . One q The input is 208-240 v , what is the output three phase 240v or three phase 480v ?

Thanks for the video, it will be very useful to me. I just bought a similar "Craftex" model, refurbished but in great condition almost half the price. I will definitely take it apart and remove all the grinding dust in it. In fact all Chinese made equipment must undergo full disassembly and cleanup. They just don't care about cleaning the grinding dust, not a single item will be thoroughly deburred and cleaned. Another fact, if you can't see a precision surface, it won't precision ground, just machined and probably not very well machined, so in the end I know I will have to scrape some surfaces on both the lathe and the milling machine.

Could I use this to put under my foostball table so I can move it out of the way when we are done playing? Can I play with those coasters under table since they lock? I also have some powerblock adjustable weights with its own stand that I would add coasters to it?

Thank you!

Thank you for your tutorial. I'm waiting till yours is complete so I an follow all your videos.

Verry nice thanks

I built my clamp rack the same way, using just the 3/4” pine. I did add triangular supports but made the mistake of placing them a couple of slots in from the ends. I thought “I’ll be careful. They won’t break...” I thought wrong! All four end tabs broke off. I had to glue them back in place and drive 3” screws in from the back side. I recently went clamp crazy at Lowe’s and 16 more Jorgensen clamps so it’s time for an additional rack or one rack to hold them all, 34 in total. (Still not enough...) I’m debating between sticking with this style, or using longer arms to hold 4 of each size.

Thanks for showing the process of screwing the bolts into the plywood. But, I'm still a little confused. I just started putting this together for my drill press. The 2 size set of bolts that screw in the plywood is a smaller diameter compared to the 1/2" drill bit it says to use to drill the hole in the plywood. Why is that? Won't that leave a bigger hole for the smaller diameter bolt to be loose? Also, the top plate hole has a larger countersunk diameter hole, compared to the bottom plate (with wheels) holes. Is the bolt supposed to screw into the smaller hole on the bottom? It also did not come with "nuts" for the bolts. How do the bolts stay secure if it just goes through the larger 1/2" diameter hole that you just screwed into the plywood, without securing the other end with a nut?

Good video but I was looking for more detail on how are you set up to get the 25 millimeter bore

I wish you would have showed z axis removal! The miter gear on the lead screw is giving me a terrible time

I like the possibilities created by bending fixtures. It'd be cool to make mini bike frames that way.

How big of a plane is this going on? -gb

Rather than a sharpie mark on each part use a small centre punch so it doesn't rub off, I had to do that to get my 3 jaw to run true, now i just join the dots and I'm very close. You could always grind the outside taper on the collet adapter to get it to run true with the centre hole as you have the grinder.

Hi, hows the pm25mv cnc project comming along? looking forward to the electronics and motors you decided on. Stay safe. Subscribed so I don't miss anything.

For the next time set the gib first, leave the bottom screw in and take the gib out again, that way its easier to slide back and forth to set. once mounted njust but the gib back in position that was held by the bottom gib screw. Nice job so far, will watch the rest in turn, thanks for sharing.

Hi !. Does the tool holder "support" has ways at 10 degree ?. Logicaly they shall match, but on movie they looks like a flat.... And seccond question - why you haven not grind mating surfaces aswell ?

where did you find m5 ball oilers? I can't find them not even in mcmaster

Yeah still cuts you off right after that. What a bunch of not-sees. At any rate. Got my pm 25 all bondo’d up and ready for painting. Shitty thing is, I’ve been testing out oil based paints on my Wilton vice restoration, and cannot get the yellow to harden. Any paint tricks for oil based enamels? Is there a better paint? At a loss here.

Wow, immediately after you mentioned the “C” word followed by “Cloth” it killed your video with the “something went wrong” screen. Won’t let me watch it now. You must be one of those dangerous people the tech god elite warned me about. Wtf.
