Lol , would not want to get tangled up in that ! Good result 👍
I don’t plan on it, thanks for watching
So satisfying Matty! Absolutely love the attention to detail. Love the effort you put into every build. 😊
Thanks mate, I try to make everything I build look nice at the same time, appreciate you watching
Excellent job, Matty. This has been very enjoyable to follow. Funny enough, I've been using my milling machine a lot lately and I've been enjoying it. I'm nowhere near your standard so watching your work is inspiring. All the best for your health, Mart in England.
Gday Mart, this build has been a step learning curve but enjoyable, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Based on what we know about NASA, you are building to far better tolerances than they are building their rocket ships. Another good one Matty.
I don’t know much about NASA really, I just try to hit the numbers as close as I can, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
LOL You know why? Because NASA, the atomic bomb industry, etc. auctioned off thier machines and retired the machinists. I own several refugee machines from this world. So if you need a new bomb or space shuttle etc., try going to us. I am sure Matty would get a thrill making some flight hardware for them.
@MattysWorkshop Hi Matty, do a search on Wikipedia for 'Mars Climate Orbiter'. And this is not the only example of NASA, or their subcontractors messing up. There is an old expression about not being able to organise a pi55up in a brewery. Well I worked as a senior or Chief Engineer in a number of breweries and I can tell you we really knew how to organise a pi55up. Particularly in the one that brewed Fosters under licence. But NASA and rocket ships, you got them beat mate.
That is a beautifully made bit of kit Matty, you should be very proud of yourself. Well Done 👍 PS: I received that electronic Edge Finder yesterday that I mentioned last week, sometime in the next couple of weeks when I finish the T&C Grinder, I'll make a dedicated video about it, but you may get to see it being used before then.
@@incognitoyt7940 Absolutely
Gday, it’s been a big build that’s for sure, is the electronic edge finder long?, thanks for watching
@@MattysWorkshop Yeah it is a bit long, it has a 20mm shank that fits a fair way up into my ER32 collets, so I assume it will go a little further into an ER40, which is what I think you are using, I just used it 10 mins ago for the first time and it's very sensitive, I'm impressed so far. 👍
G'day Matty, cracking work and video mate, that's a job really well done. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you and yours
Gday Ralfy, it’s been a mission to get this far and a step learning curve, appreciate you watching mate
G'day Matty. Good work on this video installment. It's been a massive build for you and I'm very impressed. You never cease to amaze me. Cheers, Aaron.
Thanks mate, Certainly been testing the skill level, Cheers
Once again you've produced a "good as" if not a better than anything you can buy from the dealers. Outstanding work!
Gday, when the new boring bar arrives I just hope it all works, only time will tell, thanks for watching
Geez you do some nice work Matty. I learn so much each episode, thank you for doing what you do. Cheers
Gday, it’s great to hear the videos are helpful, cheers
"If I get this wrong this part is scrap" Pukafacta. Great build, cheers, Butch.
I was pretty nervous making this part, especially towards the end, appreciate you watching, cheers
That is a thing of beauty. Better than a horn on a jellyfish
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching
Amazing piece of machining Matty, loveley accessory

Thanks very much Kev, appreciate you watching mate
Another nice video Matty, nice work on the rotary table. cheers SteveO
Thanks very much Steve, been a learning curve that’s for sure, cheers
Wow, that is amazing. . it looks fantastic. . keep showing us all your work, even the tiny stuff. . Just amazing perfection. . NICE ! !
Thanks mate, so far it’s looking alright, appreciate you watching as always, cheers
Brilliant piece of kit - really well executed. The mount bracket made here would give some CNC programmers conniptions. We just priced out a commercial version of one of these heads at work - they're 10 grand U.S. and upwards depending on exact configuration. I'll wager the one you made is every bit as high quality as those ones. Great work again.
Gday, there was a bit involved making the mounting bracket, I can’t believe how expensive the commercial boring and facing heads are, far to expensive for the hobbyists, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Hello Matty, I see it all coming together now - it looks great. Thanks for the video. Regards, Dave
Thanks very much Dave, appreciate you watching
wonderful Matty, keeping this old man awake in the other Sunshine state, Florida, USA, cheers, Paul
Gday, hope you enjoy mate, thanks for watching
You don't give yourself enough credit Matty! You sir are a very talented and capable machinist.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Gday Paul, thanks for your kind words, I class myself a hobbyist that’s learning everyday, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
I'm loving the build process on this. I can't see what you make with it once it's finished. Great shot of the fishing. Hope you caught something!
Gday, I’ll be happy to see this build finished, the fishing shot is my young bloke, he loves it, thanks for watching
love it Matty. I know what you mean about rotary table angle work . I always forget stuff I have learned in the past on this . I guess I just need to use it more often . The only facing boring head I have ever seen was on a sip Genevoise jig borer when I was an apprentice . shame I was not allowed to use it back then but I did get to use an identical machine years later , sadly no facing/boring head with it . looking forward to the in use video . Thanks as always . Cheers Ade.
Gday Ade, this has been a step learning curve that’s for sure, reading the dial on the rotary table doesn’t add up in my head so a lot of it is guess work and luck, thanks for watching mate
Nice job Matty, really pleased it went so well, so far 😉, I bet you feel well chuffed. Making prototypes and one-offs can always be a challenge, I loved the pressure, it made me think and focus so much on the job. Looking forward to next week's post. Hope you are well, and regards to you and family. 👍
Gday, I’m pretty happy with how it’s turned out so far, it’s had its far share of challenges but I haven’t had to scrap any parts from mistakes yet which is a bonus, appreciate you watching, cheers
Hay mate all good things take time i will be watching next week 👍👍
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching
Fantastic job Matty. Really envy your dedication.
Gday, this has been a really big build, appreciate you watching, cheers
That's looking fantastic mate, can't wait to see the first chips with it.
Thanks, hopefully won’t be to long until I get to try it out, thanks for watching
Some more amazing machining Matty. Looking forward to seeing it in operation and how it works. Cheers Nobby
Gday Nobby, I still haven’t tried it cutting yet so it all could be a failure, I have ordered another boring bar so when that arrives we’ll see if it works, thanks for watching
Hey Matty, your best video yet IMO. The design is elegant, perfect for the hobby guy, although I think your past that level now.
Nice stuff from the gift shop as well. All the best mate. Cheers
Gday, thanks for your kind words mate, the viewer gifts are amazing that’s for sure, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Gday Matty good to see it finally spinning you've knocked it over pretty quick for a technical build. Those annular cutters are awesome I've used mine plenty of times with the collet chuck no worries there, they work good in the lathe as well. Look forward to seeing the project throwing some chips next week. Cheers for another quality video
Gday, it’s certainly been a busy few weeks, I need to build an arbor for the annular cutters to suit the mill on day but it’s not on the priority list yet, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Nice machining, once again. Interesting engineering on the mechanism.
Thanks Greg, hopefully it works ok when it’s finished, thanks for watching
Nicely done and well explained.
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching
Fine work Matty, excellent job all round.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching
Ok. I get it now. Ingenious mechanism. Top job as always Matty. 👍🇳🇱
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching
Good better that good, keep it up mate ...if I get to be half as good as you I be a happy man
Thanks Danny, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Mate…. your work is inspiring 👏👏
Regards
Robert
Thanks very much mate, appreciate you watching as always, cheers
Very cool project Matty!
You do top shelf work 🙂👍
Thanks very much, cheers
G'day Matty, (Samrodian here) officially you can now call yourself a Machinist! That all told is a bloody fantastic build mate. This weeks episode especially. The quill mounting plate, has a great deal going on with it, and even with a slight mistake reading the drawing you have admitted your mistake, (that many probably wouldn't admit to) and were able to correct it. The whole build looks
fan-bloody-tastic mate. As I said a few weeks ago, reading drawings is not easy if you are used to building things on the fly, which most of us in a home workshop tend to do, even with the aid of a sketch on the proverbial back of the fag packet. Only machinists in industry work with drawings day in and day out, so it's second nature for them. But for the home shop guy not so much. So don't beat yourself up Matty. One tip I'd suggest is to make sure if your numbers for that particular bit you are doing and have them written down with permanent marker on the vice or table, and when finished wipe them off with meths and go on to the next bit. Almost like your post it note for your offsets. I'm really looking forward to seeing the boring and facing head working next week. Cheers from England, Sam
Gday, I’m still only a hobbyist at this still, this build has been a great learning curve in reading plans, I’m not good with numbers at the best of time and to be honest I thought I would of scrapped a few parts by now but I’ve been lucky, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Beautiful work, Matty. Just a pleasure to watch your technique. Hope you have a great weekend...you've certainly earned it! Cheers.
Thanks mate, certainly been a big build, thanks for watching
Finally got to watch it mate. Great result. Excellent job on it.
Thanks Steve, appreciate you watching mate
Hi Matty, really liking this build, can't wait to see it in use. Also, enjoy the fishing 🙂👍💪✌
Gday, it’ll be interesting to see how it does work when it’s all done, my youngest bloke Toby is a keen fisherman, if he’s not at school then he’s fishing 🎣, thanks for watching
absolutely stunning work Matty. Pure engineering at it's best.
Steve.
Thanks Steve, it’s been a big build mate, thanks for watching
It's a lot more than half promising Matty. It's been great watching you build your latest project. Looks superb.
Gday, so far it’s looking like it’s going to work ok, appreciate you watching, cheers
54- Clean the floor!
Gi-day Matt.
🤣🤣🤣 how ya going mate
@@MattysWorkshop Ok as I can.
Went and used that 336 lathe I spoke about and I don't know what the boys there have done on it but its stuffed now. I couldn't even cut a straight cut without it undoing the load on the tool. I did get the thread feed working but only in the high range so I was cutting off heaps but with a course metric thread pattern. So I won't be using it to turn my 4140 bits to make that crank. I did get most of that 1045 bar stock for the dies but I need to get my chassis home from west of Adelaide first so every thing else is stopped for now.
Oooops on the long message.
very very good job matty
Thanks very much mate
Still more nice work from you keep it up stay safe
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching
Vwry nice fishing and job...Thank You...
Gday, that’s my youngest boy doing the fishing, appreciate you watching
More than half promising.............................! All the best!
Thanks for watching mate
G'day Matty
Gday mate
"Better scrap it and start again"😂😂
It was close mate, almost binned it🤣
A thou off...better scrap it and start again...🤣🤣🤣🤣.........my son in law just bought a brand new mill, only a medium size one for his knife making escapades......so now i have a mill too😆....your vids are gunna come in very handy now...
Gday, almost had to scrapped that part🤣, have fun with the new mill mate, cheers
Great work as always Matty.
Thanks, appreciate you watching
Oh yeah, gotta go and edit, and then you go fishing 😂 Very nice build indeed! I'm guessing there's a practical limit on the spindle speed when it's set up for facing? That star wheel might get up enough inertia to keep spinning between rotations.
Regards, Preso
Gday Preso, you won’t find me fishing, Toby has that taken care of, if he’s not at school he’s fishing 🎣, it’ll be interesting to see how this all works when I get around to trying it, thanks for watching
Hi Matty Job well done it should work nicely
Thanks mate, I really hope it works well, thanks for watching
Great job Matty. Looking forward to the finishing video. Stay well. ATB regards from the UK
Gday, I’m looking forward to seeing it finished to mate, thanks for watching
G'day Matty. nice bit 😁of kit mate.
Thanks mate, Cheers
Now you have the jig made you will have to keep making them parts hey
Making the parts once is enough for now mate, thanks for watching
Hi Matty, it came out great! You'll need to dream up some projects to use it on.
Thanks, I’ll hopefully come up with something to try it on when it’s all done, appreciate you watching
Very, very nice work.
Thanks very much, cheers
Great seeing the Annular Cutter Matty. Y'know I'm a fan of 'em. I was going to come down, (Winton Historic Car Racing 26/5) Maybe later on, September.?
Gday Mark, I’m really impressed with how the annular cutters work, hopefully you’ll get to the races soon mate, cheers
Fantastic build Matty.
Thanks mate, cheers
Beautiful work. Always looking forward to your next video.
Thanks very much mate, cheers
Great job! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Nice work 👍
Thanks mate
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching mate
Awesome job Matty
Thanks mate, cheers
hay Matty another couple of parts ticked off the list nice ley done i must say the other thing is you made a comment on someone saying some MUMBLE about the way you measure the cut on the boring head i never gave it much thought as i do it the same way have done for years and has not failed me yet i would love for MUMBLE'S to tell us all how he does it would be interested in that one pretty sure i have seen Kurtis from CEE unseeing the very same method anyway till next week Cheers
received your email re where you got the D R O from and as yet bin a bit bussie to get round to it
i also got a good report on my Rust problem D r 's are very happy with the tests results so another 6 months and test again Cheers
Gday, I’ve never had a drama setting the boring head this way and always hit the numbers I’ve been chasing, that’s good news from the doctors mate, thanks for watching
Beautiful build 👍🏻
Thanks very much, cheers
dam'n good fine pretty piece of machinig.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Now it all makes sense.
Thanks for watching
Hi Matty another excelent video, next time I use my boring head I am going to use my dial gauge like you do good idea that, two other thing I want to ask, 1 do you have T shirts and mugs for sale, and 2 do you know the name of the font that mattys workshop in, cant wait for the final test and making chips, cheers
Gday, setting the boring head works well with a dial indicator, unfortunately I don’t know what the font is sorry, I don’t do merchandise yet, I’ve had quite a few asking about hats, shirts and mugs now, maybe in the future I’ll do something, thanks for watching
Well done mate
Thanks mate
This is an awesome project that you are doing and I know a few in the trade that would struggle to perform to your standards. I'm a fitter and turner with 35 years experience fitting but only 6 months in a machine shop and your work is up there with what I've seen going on. Since I've been semi retired is where I really discovered I love machining and hope to be as good as you eventually. are you planning to sell the plans to this project? as I would be really keen to give this one a crack.
Gday, thanks for the kind words, this has been a great build and a really good learning curve, In the next few weeks I’ll be making a gearbox to reduce the feed rate when it’s in facing mode, once it’s all completed and everything works then the plans we become available, hopefully this won’t be to far away, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Hi Matty really enjoying your build and all your videos may I ask you where you get your milling and lathe tools from thanks in advance Paul 🍻
Gday, some of my tooling is from eBay, inserts I buy from livetools here in Australia, depends what I can afford at the time really
looking good. what s going to be your first project for it? can hardly wait.
Gday, I don’t have any projects planned yet, I’ll be happy to just see this one finished, cheers
Matty,,, I am about to become an Australian distributor for Anchorlube and will send you a sample bottle to try.,. Would you give me your honest thoughts on this product please. Regards Frank
Gday Frank, my email address is in the video description, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop soon as the shipment arrives your number 1 to give it a try regards Frank
I contacted Anchorlube the other week and asked where I can buy the stuff in Australia. Their response was nothing concrete yet. When you get sorted can you give us your details so I can get some. A lot of good operators on UA-cam (that I trust) have said really good things about the stuff. Want to try it. Bob. Retired mechanic/machinist in SW Sydney. Still have my home shop with up to 2" drill bits and 660mm x 2500mm capacity lathe and 2 milling machines.
@@bobhudson6659
Matty I need a address thanks mate
The facing head is looking spectacular. Great work Matty. Question: What is your opinion on your Vertex rotary table? I've seen some Vertex tooling, and I was wondering on the quality, price, accuracy etc. Where is it made? Thanks.
Gday, Vertex is Taiwanese 🇹🇼 and I can’t fault the rotary table, I have the dividing plates also and cut a few gears now and worked well, the price is up there but in my opinion I think it was worth it, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Thanks Matty. I didn't think that Vertex was one of those Chinese ones. 😀
Allgood 👍👍🦘🇦🇺
Nice to see it come together and run. I was wondering how it was going to work. I guess the designer of this head will offer different sized mounting brackets so the unit can work on different mill models?
Gday Tom, I believe there will be a few different versions for mounting to different mills, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
What an interesting project and a hell of a lot cheaper than a Wohlhaupter at $5000 US.
Gday Robert, there crypt a cheap item, this may not be as flash but if it works then it’s a good thing, thanks for watching
On the face of it i expected this also to be boring but it appears not so.
Thanks for watching
Hi Matty, just a heads up, it seems that every one of your videos the first 8-12 seconds there is no sound while you are obviously talking. Not a big deal just a heads up my friend.
Ok thanks, I’ll have a look, cheers
Wow' Matty thats sexie as socks on a roster, great video, keep'um coming.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching as always, cheers
The kind of jobs where you better stay concentrated all the time and check mesurements several times before taking the cut.
Gday, I’d hate to think how many times I was about to start the mill then stopped to measure everything again, thanks for watching
Me inscrevi no canal por causa desta ferramenta no pais que moro é muito caro comprar uma quero fazer uma voce tem algum desenho
Gday, once I have completed this build and it works, the plans will be available, cheers
Very nice work! Thanks for your time!
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching
