I didn't understand why use all this to move the axis. Do you want to convert in the future as a CNC machine? wasn't it enough for you to put a dc motor and a speed controller?

Fantastic

Very nice work sir

Ring, gloves, wobbly parts... oh man, what a thrilling video! 🙈Glad everything turned out ok 😃👍

You've designed this without a clapper box. Every shaper I've seen before had a clapper box, used to allow the tool to lift on the return stroke. Does this work OK without one? I'm guessing it does, nice design!

Excellent work and explanation

Too much Flex. You did not follow the original plans which show many of the plates are also drilled,reamed and pinned to eliminate slip/flex. The cross slide also should be shimmed as well as any surface with play. The original plans specified faces to be files and scraped to an accurate fit that is missing here. You might recover this with some shims but yea you need a LOT of stiffening. A few welds might help in some areas but bear in mind future maintenance and disassembly. So only weld where it can be easily ground out and where it wont warp the material !

Good job. Nice project.👌

I just finished building this unit, almost exactly to your spec. I used a NEMA 23, with and all in one driver/speed control. I had to add a small tension wheel as I didn’t get the center to center dimension exactly right. The tensioner works great!

Cleaver use of bar stock to make a shaper. Your cutting tool could use more rake when cutting Aluminum. The chip should curl up, not look like it was pushed by a bulldozer. The tool you are using is ground for brass or cast iron. Search for `metal shaper bit geometry`. Getting the rake, clearance, and other tool-work geometries correct can make the difference between success and failure using an Armstrong shaper.

The links to the plans is no longer working

Hi,I'm really impressed with your work and ordered a cast iron x and y table to do the same, I've tried to follow your link for your website and also where you said the drawings are but neither are working, could you please tell me if they are still up and running. Kind rgds

Did you every finish this project? any updates?

Громоздкая конструкция, габаритная , завышенная мощность двигателя и пр. Глупое управление , для порчи деталей и фрез...☹

Like 434, very good !👏👏

Excellent work!

I’m wondering how you will keep the proper tension on the belt or is that even a concern?

Excellent work, thank you for sharing this project!

Nice

14:00 I'm new to machining and trying to learn what I can from Reddit and YT. I had a hard time hearing what you said here.. You said you didnt have a what? So you were going to use a 10mm end mill. What was the proper tool you shouldve used here that you said you didnt have? Is this a special tool for doing a counter-sunk hole for that thumb screw?

So, how is the project going?

Thanks so much for sharing the parts list, and design. I am adding X axis control to my RF-30 and your video is now my reference. I agree that keeping the manual handle is important. Hindsight is always 20/20 so I will just say thank you and keep up the great video's.

Why do you use stepper motor ,any technical reason please

Are plans still available for this? I’d love to have a go at making one! Thanks!

Hi, what is the difference of Workbee and OpenBuilds cnc 1500 x 1500 ?

You said the battery? That is not the battery

Awesome project. Can’t wait to see more of it. Just one thing did you consider brazing the chassis instead of welding. It may have been more controllable.

All 3 videos are quite impressive! Am curious to see how you deal with the flexing.

Is this suitable for car aluminium parts exhaust etc..

Is that GN03YMT?

the secrets in the diesel engire is to use pure eter,if dont be pure ,the engire dont start.!for this reason ,i buil one(sparey),and i have start problems,and put a glow plug., and use fuel for glow engires.

You're not making a live axle?!?

Where u gone mr mechanical

would love to see a part 3

What's the point of the hole in the crank?

Good job mate. Looks like end mill not leaving a very good finish. Does your mill chatter alot?

I usually use either Jizer or Gunk, going to give this a go.

It is now 26/01/2022, and I've just come across your 'Smart & Brown lathe restoration, very good it is too! I found the gearbox rebuild interesting, but could not help noticing that there were NO comments on it, if only for the 'muzak' that no one liked in the first two videos.....me neither to be honest! I much prefer your voice explaining what you are doing, and the sound of tools tinkering away at the job in hand! Well, that's me off now to watch the last part-(4)-of this set, so please, keep up all the good work you do, and bin the 'muzak' please, you make much better video's without it!!

Take those gloves off near rotary machinery, aaaargh! Rather lose half a finger than an arm!

LIAR !!!!!!!! SMH

I couldn't reach the link to the plans, would you be able to fix that please?

A few years ago I bought a Sieg SX2P as my first milling machine. I soon got fed up rotating the X-axis wheel, so decided to motorise it. A stepper motor seemed the cheapest option, so I fitted one directly on the lead screw. It took an aluminium plate, two stand-offs, and s connector. I had an old PC and decided to use that for control using LinuxCNC, with a generic Chinese TB600 microstep driver. Rather than motor drive I know had CNC X-axis, so I used that, and manual Y, to machine the bits to convert the Y axis to CNC. That made the next step - the Zed axis (written that way to assist our American colleagues in correct pronunciation). So, now I had a 3-axis CNC mill. Next I bought a Chinese 4th axis, and was soon cutting gears. That project got rather out of control - all I'd wanted was motor drive. Now I'm looking for a Bridgenorth . . .

That is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages 😂

Hello, this diesel engine is interesting, please ask a question this engine works with truck diesel or is it a special preparation. I want to make it, thanks

Deveria terminar o projeto.

cheers for the info.

Where is Part 3?

Ever end up finishing this? Not sure how to assemble it so was looking forward to that part! lol

Why not just use petrol or some diesel? A lot cheaper than this stuff.
