Gday, This video I make 4 customs collets and i'm not 100% sure what they are for, These are pretty easy to make and I hope you enjoy, Email - mattysworkshop76@gmail.com
Very ingenious solution Matty. I was imagining trying to slot saw them on the mill with an indexing head etc, but the bandsaw solution was far quicker & simpler, so hats off to you for coming up with that. Just proves there’s always more than one way to skin a cat. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Nicely done Matty! Your thinking outside of the box on the fixture for the slots was pretty bloody good mate, simple but very effective. I would never have come up with that in a month of Sundays,and I've done so weird and wonderful set ups both in wood and metal in the past. Cheers from London, Sam
Gday Sam, The fixture worked out good, I was thinking of doing it in the mill and slitting saw then the penny dropped, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
Using the bandsaw to make the slots was definitely thinking outside the box. When I first saw what you needed to do I was thinking dividing head, mandrel and slitting saw on the mill. Nice job keeping it simple. 👍🍻
Gday Aaron, the lathe does a good job for what it is but I think I could do with something a little heavier, Just can't push it as hard as i'd like, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
They're spot on Matty, point zero one....lol. The topslide power feed adapter worked really well. Good quick way of cutting the slots as well. Great job. Cheers Tony
I'll have to remember that fixture for making the bandsaw slits, far better than trying to wing it by hand. That's one skill I need to work on - making simple but effective fixtures - mine have been quite tough to make.
Bloody good that. Great finishes, great result. I'm a fan of coolant also - bit of a divisive topic I know but I like the benefit to the finish. Cheers to you and best regards. Top job.
Ha! I was thinking from the get go on how you would be using a slitting saw on those. Never would have thought of a band saw. Great solution and good work as always. Thanks for letting us loo over your shoulder.
Gday Cam, I was first thinking how I was going to do the slots on the mill then the penny dropped which is a rare thing ins my head🤣, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
I jump back when I hear "easy". . there's always something that comes up to make it difficult. . lets see how it goes. . Turned out great. . Fantastic job. and they're nice and shiny . . Have a great day.
Would it be a idea to drill a relief hole at the blind end of the slots to prevent eventual cracking, and maybe lower the force needed to tighten the collet? Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done Matty, the band saw jig was well thought out mate. Regards to you and family from a wet mountain in Wales. It's the rain which makes this place so green and beautiful. See you next time 👍
G'day Matty nice job mate, very cluey with the bandsaw jig I would have stuffed around all day with the mill and a slitting saw to do that, cheers for that idea. Now all I need to do is remember it, we'll see how that goes. Your videos are always good you never fail to impress.
Nice job, as always, nothing wrong with peeling potatoes with an axe 😂. Keeping things simple makes life a lot easier and this was a living proof of that 👍👍.
Had to make very similar recently but in PB102 bronze, similar size but castellated through on the inside diameter (for oil feed). Was an interesting little job that ya can't screw up because the cost of bronze has gone bonkers! Thanks for the vid, good to see you're well.
Excellent project and fun to watch. Great way to cut the slots. Certainly quicker than using a slitting saw. Worth keeping the jig Matty in case you get another order. Take care. Cheers Nobby
A nice job but I am always curious what material people use for specific jobs. What did you use for the collets? Kurtis usually tells us what material he is using. It adds a bit to the info you give on feeds and speeds as well.
Gday, the material was 4140, spindle speed I run between 450 & 600 rpm, not sure on feed rate, I have trouble reading the chart on the machine, I just play around with it till I think its right, I believe these where for a attachment for an excavator, Thanks for watching
Excellent! I don't know why, but it never occured to me to touch off on a parallel behind the part in the lathe when you're facing to length. Thanks! As for the bandsaw jig, that was brilliantly simple but really effective.
Another good video. Thanks for the video. Glad to see you back in the shop and I'm finally back in the shop. It's been a long road but My son and I have a 7,000 square foot building for our new machine shop and job shop and getting it filled up with some machines and getting going again. Anyway, we'll talk to you later. I'll send you an email Tony a little more
Things get edgy when parting off. If it chatters slow it down. I put my blade in upside down and reverse spindle. Gravity helps keep it from jamming. Great planning, also surface finish looks right on. Hardened and ground would be the finish, but if you dont know what the purpose is it might not be necessary. Nice project and thank you for doing it. I am watching your video from Sacramento, California.😀
The "fiddley" setup for the saw works great, and the result is what matters. I don't think I would have come up with such an elegant solution. You skipped how you set the 12 degrees for the taper, or are the markings on the lathe close enough? I watched somebody (maybe even you) put an original piece in the lathe and set the angle by using a dial indicator on the compound to follow the original taper.
Gday, I set the compound angle from the original part using a dial indicator but didn't film doing that for some reason, That was my bad there sorry mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Hi Matty another great video you put together today I was wondering were do you get the material you use for your projects ps we were up your way a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering what town you live in thanks and bye for now Paul 🇦🇺
Gday Paul, material is getting hard to find at a decent price, a lot off mine is secondhand I get from mates with machines, I live in Eden on the far sth coast, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Interesting video, I think I would have cut the slots on a milling machine with a slitting saw, but any solution that gets the job done is a good solution.
Hi Matty, Could I ask for some info please? I haven't ever seen that digital gauge you used to measure the internal bore before... Would you mind giving me a bit of info? What's it called and where did you get would be very much appreciated. I need all the help I can get on the lathe, especially for doing bearing fits. Absolutely love the channel and great to see you looking well!
Gday, Here's a link to the Mitutoyo web site for the bore mics www.mitutoyo.com/webfoo/wp-content/uploads/Holtest_Borematic_2230.pdf I hope this helps mate, Cheers
There's obviously an obvious place to look that's not as obviously obvious as you obviously thought it was. Obviously! Regards from upover in Canada's banana belt. 🤞🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊🇦🇺🪃🐨🏁👍
Very impressive mister Matty. You are a inspiration. The type of work you do is great.
Thank you very much for your kind words, cheers
Very ingenious solution Matty.

Gday Ian, Much quicker then using the mill and half the setup I think mate, Cheers
@ Now I need a bandsaw but no room & no sh!tsvillian pacific micro pesos to pay for it either. 😂😂😉
Old school thinking outside the box with only the materials at hand to get the job done well-thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching

Awesome Matty i like your thought process and simplicity in your solutions
Gday, I try to keep things as simple as possible. Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Nice work Matty. That little lathe of yours can certainly hold its own. Cheers 🍻 Aaron

Thanks very much Tony, Appreciate you watching as always, Cheers
I loved the fixture. My cup of tea.
It worked well mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Gday, I'll be keeping this fixture for later on mate, Thanks for watching
Absolutely brilliant fixture Matty. Well done.
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
Hi Matty, easy solution to cut the slots, no mucking around with slitting saw and holding the work piece, nice job.
Thanks mate, It worked out better then I thought to be honest, Thanks for watching
The customer should be happy with those. 👍
Gday Tom, This was for a mate that hasn't picked them up yet, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Incredible work! Something I've never attempted, YET!
Have a go at it mate, Its pretty easy to do this, Thanks for watching
Giday Matty. Another instalment from another tutor I enjoy watching and learning from.
Cheers mate.
Happy days from kiwi land.
Gday Alan, Great to hear your enjoying the videos mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Nice builds…bandsaw fixture…..awesome!!!!
Thanks Chuck, Appreciate you watching
Another great video Matty. Great to see your solutions.
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Nice quick project. Always a trick to be learned.
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
nice to see your new inside bore measurers coming in.
Gday, I think you'll see these quite often mate, Thanks for watching
Bloody good that. Great finishes, great result. I'm a fan of coolant also - bit of a divisive topic I know but I like the benefit to the finish. Cheers to you and best regards. Top job.
Gday Stuart, Coolant makes a big difference in tool life and surface finishes, I just should use it more then I do, Thanks for watching mate. Cheers
Great to see you back Matty. Fantastic result on those collets. I hope all is well on the health side of life.
Gday, I'll try and include a health update soon mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Ha! I was thinking from the get go on how you would be using a slitting saw on those. Never would have thought of a band saw. Great solution and good work as always. Thanks for letting us loo over your shoulder.
Gday Bruce, I was thinking of the slitting saw but the bandsaw seemed a lot quicker and easier, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Out of the box thinking Matty. Most of us would have gone with a slitting saw to cut the slots but that was a brilliant solution.
Cam
Gday Cam, I was first thinking how I was going to do the slots on the mill then the penny dropped which is a rare thing ins my head🤣, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
Nice work , love a simple jig. 🍻
Thanks mate, Cheers
That's the first time I've seen index bandsawing! Great job!
Gday Nigel, First time for me to and I think it was easier the using a slitting saw and rotary table in the mill, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Another seemingly simple job done to perfection, well done Matty.
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching
Cheers Matty, a nice job indeed. 👍💪✌
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
I jump back when I hear "easy". . there's always something that comes up to make it difficult. . lets see how it goes. . Turned out great. . Fantastic job. and they're nice and shiny . . Have a great day.

Thanks very much Kev, Truly appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
Would it be a idea to drill a relief hole at the blind end of the slots to prevent eventual cracking, and maybe lower the force needed to tighten the collet?
Good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
Gday, The original didn't have any relief holes and I think the 4140 material should hold up ok, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Always interesting videos 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching
G'day Matty, happy days mate, just sat down with a brew, and a fresh video from you my mate, 🎉 hope you're keeping well buddy 👍 thanks for sharing

Great work! Nice to see the jobs rolling in.
This is what happens when you have mates with toys, Thanks for watching
Nicely done Matty, the band saw jig was well thought out mate. Regards to you and family from a wet mountain in Wales. It's the rain which makes this place so green and beautiful. See you next time 👍
Gday, I wish we had some rain here to cool down a bit, 30c+ here lately, im not a fan of the heat, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
G'day Matty nice job mate, very cluey with the bandsaw jig I would have stuffed around all day with the mill and a slitting saw to do that, cheers for that idea. Now all I need to do is remember it, we'll see how that goes. Your videos are always good you never fail to impress.
Gday, I was thinking at first id do the cuts in the mill but the bandsaw turned out a better option, Thanks for watching mate
Geez Matty, they're as flash as a Rat with a Gold tooth. A clever solution to the slotting problem, well done. 👍
Thanks Paul, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop You're most welcome.
Nice project Matty, great work.
Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching
Nice job, as always, nothing wrong with peeling potatoes with an axe 😂. Keeping things simple makes life a lot easier and this was a living proof of that 👍👍.
That was a good way to put it mate, I like that🤣, Thanks for watching
Nice big parts, Matty. The bandsaw solution was brilliant.

Nice job on the cones for the taper lock pins. Good simple method for cutting the slots.
Gday Barry, They turned out alright mate overall, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Nice job Matty. Very clever. Thanks for posting.
Thanks mate, Cheers
Gotta love a quick & dirty, simple, effective fixture. So it's a little fiddley, aren't all fixtures jobs. 👍🏻👍🏻
As long as it works mate, its a good thing, Thanks for watching
Excellent project and fun to watch. Great way to cut the slots. Certainly quicker than using a slitting saw. Worth keeping the jig Matty in case you get another order. Take care. Cheers Nobby
Gday Nobby, hope your doing well, Definitely be keeping the fixture just in case mate, Thanks for watching
Very nice work....Thanks for sharing......Im going to steal that bandsawing trick.....
Go for it mate, thank for watching
Hi, Matty. Beautiful work, as usual! Thanks for letting us watch and have a great week. Cheers.
Thanks very much, Cheers
Nice the way you did that. Smart.
Thanks for watching
Good idea to make the slits on the band saw. That seemed to have worked very well.
Thanks Rustinox, Much quicker then the mill, Cheers
That fixture is a good idea, I’ll be using that thanks
No worries mate, Go for it, easy to make which is a god thing, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Keep them coming Matt, so entertaining...

Gday Mike, We're all good here mate thanks, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Might be worth brazing/fixing a couple of small coolant pipes to that big drill Matty so the chips get cleared fom down the bore.
Gday, I have an idea for the drill, just have to get around to doing it, Thanks for watching
Excellent! I don't know why, but it never occured to me to touch off on a parallel behind the part in the lathe when you're facing to length. Thanks!
As for the bandsaw jig, that was brilliantly simple but really effective.
Gday, Touching off on the parallel is accurate and quick, Just dont forget to take the parallel out, Don't ask me how I know🤣🤣, Thanks for watching
Nice!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Great job! I would not have though about using the band saw.
Thanks mate, Bandsaw worked well, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Thanks, Matty.😊

You should build a burnishing tool for your lathe, using a ball bearing. I've seen a few made lately.
Gday, I do have one for Tangent Engineering (Jim), Thanks for watching
Well done 👍👍
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching
Hi Matty, another happy customer, no doubt. I would be interested to know what they are used on.
Gday, There off an attachment for a excavator I believe mate, Thanks for watching
Right on Matty 👍🏻
