Indeed I noticed you're quite anal about chamfering. It's like using end sleeves on your wiring. Once started no way back. Same problem here. It's a non-severe medical condition. I think doctors call it a mild obsessive neurosis. You can become old in a happy state. No barriers in chamfers and using end sleeves I believe. I love your channel too btw. Thank you both!
This press has worked like a charm for my projects ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
And in the end...it looks like it's always been there. Another wonderful video and demonstration of how clever and precise you are...well done young man, well done.
Once again, an amazing piece of craftsmanship. I bow in acknowledgment, in the presence of a master. The minutes of your video posts seem to fly by and I’m never ready for them to be over.
At first I was like "WHAT??? He is going to mess with the original part? Is he nuts?" And then I realized, "Wait is Ca Lem! He can probably make the entire mill and will come out way better than the original one!" Had watched the driving wheel on some other videos and wondered where it came from. I guess now I know. Gorgeous piece!
Very nice seeing something useful and beautiful inside the old handwheel. Love it. It all worked out well, mistakes are some times made. Thank you for sharing.
DANG........WHY CAN'T WE GIVE MORE THAN ONE THUMBS UP!!!! NOT FAIR!!!! That's not a hand wheel...........it's a "CUSTOM BILLET STEERING WHEEL"! Ca Lem you have done it again young man. INCREDIBLE WORK...but I've come to expect that from you.
Ca Lem...nice work and creative....may I suggest "rust bluing" in the future....rust bluings durability Vs cold bluing ( which there are several products including the birchwood casey you used) is no match...cold bluing is meant for repairing scratches etc....Rust blue involves some time and effort i.e cleaning and not much more than a pot to boil the part depending on the part size then repeat a process of wipe on , boil , gentle scrub, then wipe on...
Thank you, Chris, for this tip! I found "thecogwheel" has a great video on Rust Bluing how to. Video published March 8, 2018 if you're searching. Best, Andrew @BranchAndFoundry
@@nefariousyawn Heck, small shops, too. CNC has been around long enough that it's cheaper to buy (or lease) a CNC machine and amortize the cost than it is to hire a true machinist.
I know I've said this before, but I usually cringe when I see someone grab a hammer to beat on machined parts. Not the case w you though, sir. Your use of a hammer indicates how damn in tune you are w the way things fit together (running fits, interference, etc.). Much respect to you on that note. Always love your content.
funny, today i was wondering how to improve my quill lever on my milling machine and then i found this in my subscribtions. love it, might do something simillar :D
That wheel looks SO much like a custom car steering wheel that halfway through the video, I actually wondered if the video was going to end with you slotting it onto one. Looks excellent! I really wish I was in a position to do machining as a hobby. Every used machine is just so expensive where I live that I can't seem to get over the cost.
Hope you're health is ok. Nice job man! I bet most of your/us viewers don"t mind if you talk.If not people can switch of sound. Great to see this addition on UA-cam. Stay well. Looking forward to the next. 👍
Hi Cà Lem Again a great job and a very entertaining video. The only thing I don't like is Your splash cooling. The inserts don't like it. Flood cooling or dry. The sudden cooling puts great stress on the insert. Like all brittle materials, it can crack.
First lesson I always tell new machinists is never work harder than you have to. I would have modified the steel insert off the bat to lock in place on the quill handle mount.
This the kind of talent we lov to share and watch. Had too as a new subscriber, post his link to my FB page,,He has me hooked now! Now I have to replace the 1946 Ford Truck wheel I raise and lower my English Wheel with :)> Awesome finish an stylist,,,sure make the BP look killer too,,,Thx for sharing, Bear
The quills on bridgeport mills generally aren't supposed to auto retract like you showed at the end of the video, although it doesn't hurt anything if they do. If youd prefer it to not auto retract its a pretty easy change, maybe 15 minutes!
This looks great! I still have only a single-arm lever for the quill on my knee mill but seeing this makes me feel lazy for not doing something about that. :)
Machining that cast aluminium wheel was very satisfying to watch and I'm very glad you chamfered its holes at the end :-)
Think have a candidate for next collab!
Ahh yes your greatest foe. Edges.

Complex machining made to look DECEPTIVELY easy - the Mad Machinist strikes again. I'm seriously impressed. Seriously.

Really nice dividing head work, lightening and reshaping the handwheel makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing Charles
I learned a new (to me) use of dividing head 🙂
Ca Lem, the Savage Machinist. He's totally fearless and won't let anything defeat him.
At first I was like "WHAT??? He is going to mess with the original part? Is he nuts?" And then I realized, "Wait is Ca Lem! He can probably make the entire mill and will come out way better than the original one!" Had watched the driving wheel on some other videos and wondered where it came from. I guess now I know.

This was awesome you seem to have had a “handle” on it. Couldn’t help but to throw in a little dry joke.😀👍
It was a wheely good joke
@@SalmoTrutti Oh ho, ho, ho You "handled" that smoothly, Nicely done.
I have a commercial version of a mill hand wheel on my mill - very worthwhile to install one. Yours is over the top, very well done!
I have learned a new (to me) use of dividing head 🙂, thanks
Best machinist of youtube
There are better machines on UA-cam that just not as driven as he is. The effort he put in to his work is incredible
That lathe. Everything so clunk, clunk precise. Superb.
Always a pleasure to watch your work and precision. 🇦🇺
Love it! That's got to be the world's most true running handwheel
Well done
Very nice seeing something useful and beautiful inside the old handwheel. Love it. It all worked out well, mistakes are some times made. Thank you for sharing.
Just a second too late 😅. Thanks uncle Randy

You start with an old thing. You made it better than new, cause there s a part of you inside. Respect
Super cool! Especially the work on the tilting rotary table
Lovely video. In the way he is executing this job, no words are needed. Top notch thanks for sharing.

Good to see you again! Great job!
Wow, nice job! Best regards from Germany Nico from Nico's Projects
Thanks brother!
One of the most satisfying machining videos on UA-cam.
Thanks Calem You have taught me some good tricks . Thankyou .
Amazing work as always. You are quite the inspiration: artist, engineer, and machinist.
Also, there must be an abundance of old machinery on your end of the world? You seem to find it quite easy to find old affordable machinery.
Yes, i also want to know more about this abundance !
I wonder if the availability of these older machines has something to do with a transition to CNC machining in larger shops.
@@nefariousyawn Heck, small shops, too. CNC has been around long enough that it's cheaper to buy (or lease) a CNC machine and amortize the cost than it is to hire a true machinist.
@@comridor you need to be a true machinist to run a cnc mill the manual machines are just not productive enough for big runs
Always worth watching. I learn new of doing things I have never thought of before. Thanks again for sharing!
I love that style! Great concept and great work!
Man, that was some serious handwheel tuning. A little bit overkill, but smart made. Cool.
Those old Bridgeports are great mills. I have a old J head myself and I'm local to where they were originally made.
Nice job.We featured this video in our homemade tools forum this week :)

Absolutely beautiful, you have amazing skill. And I love that you seemingly did it just because you felt like it!
Absolutely stunning, Ca Lem~
Beautiful work as ever - many thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work. It's always nice to see your videos pop up.
Quality work as usual thoroughly enjoyed the process thanks for sharing all the best god bless
A wheel worthy of an early Bentley :) Always in awe of your craft, thanks for making such nice videos about it!
Incredible work, masterful technique and excellent results! Great video, thank you.
That looks so good! Great work!!
Great video!
This should be a steering wheel for a Bugatti !! Awesome work.
Amazing work as always my friend!
You should be proud of yourself. Your skill level is up there with the best. Great video. Thank you for sharing your time.
funny, today i was wondering how to improve my quill lever on my milling machine and then i found this in my subscribtions. love it, might do something simillar :D
this is one very high quality quill handwheel. Love it
I always enjoy your videos! Your artist background really shines in the making of!
Nice rescue of an old hand wheel.
Best wishes

That is fantastic. Very inspiring.
Nice avatar photo. Were both doing the same trick
Jon Dillehay lol, that’s great. 3 years riding now and I still can’t stay on the bike!
I am so pleased even the experts make stupid mistakes sometimes. Glad I am not the only one!
Hope you're health is ok. Nice job man! I bet most of your/us viewers don"t mind if you talk.If not people can switch of sound. Great to see this addition on UA-cam. Stay well. Looking forward to the next. 👍
Your attention to detail is amazing!
Solid, professional work. Great job.
It's beautiful piece !!
Nice job, nice refresh.
impeccable work question: are you looking for Ryobi to sponsor you?
Superb work that you have made. Congratulations!
Bác làm với tất cả niềm đam mê. Thật khâm phục
Ca lem excelent video and beautiful milling machine
Beautiful work
Thank you for you amazing videos!

Un excelente trabajo, como siempre cà Lem 😎👍🏾
Looks great Ca Lem, I like how you added your touch to the wheel. What diameter is it?
Thanks Craig. Its 300mm
@ thanks
@ Thanks Ca Lem (PS: I have sent an email)

This lathe works beautifully
DAAAAAM!! 😍 That's very impressive and beautiful!! AND with form and function! Did you make plans or go on the run? I need 4 of these wheels... 🥰
Привет 👋!!! Здорово 👍 его бы ещё анодировать. С любовью из России 🇷🇺
Very nice work !!
Impressive all around.
Wow that’s gorgeous!
The handwheel isn’t bad either😁
Hello Ca Lem,
Great work and a very enjoyable video... I hope all is well with you...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thank you sir! 🥰
Well executed
I would be interested in seeing your belt sander plans, have been trying to decide just how I want to build one for my shop!
This kind of work really makes me miss having a bridgeport in my life.
Awesome mechanical “art”, that’s also practical. Was a little disappointed you don’t have a drive motor for the rotary table(kidding).
This looks great! I still have only a single-arm lever for the quill on my knee mill but seeing this makes me feel lazy for not doing something about that. :)
Awesome video man
Good to see you friend 🍺🍺😁👍
Oi amigo, sou de Diadema-sp Brasil e sou inscrito no seu canal e acho Muito bom seus vídeos!
Magnificent! Thank you. Les in UK
Outstanding work!
You: Why did you do that? Me: Because I CAN! - What a wonderful piece of art! Thank you!
You're the Asian MrPete222! Keep up the good work.
very nice work
I envy your patience with the independent 4-jaw chuck 😅. Sometimes it's very useful, but most of the cases it could be really annoying 😄
Another work of art!!!❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
Отличная работа!
Best wheel in the world
I don't understand what happened here. Was there something wrong with old hand wheel? How is the modified wheel an improvement?
Cà lem anh là ng việt hả...?
Zin luôn sếp ơi
Wow , a có fb hay zalo ko ?? Em muốn tâm sự với a haha ..!
Ciao Cà Lem, (sei straordinario)
great job
