Well done Matty. Some people start a video saying they bought a drill bit but not many start by saying I MADE this drill bit. That’s cool. Cheers, Stuart. Canberra.
Nice one 👍👍 As the saying goes: "Great minds think alike" re what Kurtis did on his Zayer. Will be great to see it working when you have the coolant system setup. All the best, Paul
Gday Kempy, the Zayer has a fixed quill, it’ll be a while till I get a coolant setup for the mill at this stage unfortunately, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
Hey Matty. Hope this finds you well. Haven’t seen a video in a while. Worried about your health. God bless buddy. Will be keeping you in prayer brother.
I messaged him a couple weeks ago and he is just taking a well deserved break after the issues with his health earlier in the year and the mammoth boring bar build he just finished he is just having a bit of time off.
Excellent video as always But the guy down the road from u did Same a little while back Curtis U guys are great and I always learn a lot every time I watch videos Thanks ur friend in states
Gday, yes Kurtis did this to his Zayer mill that has a fixed quill, it’s awesome to hear your enjoying the videos mate and truly appreciate you watching, cheers
Gday, I’ve seen a few on horizontal mills before, it was worth the a try mate, it’ll be a while till I get a coolant setup at this stage unfortunately, appreciate you watching
Well done mate 👏👏 Deep hole drilling is not for the faint hearted … Can’t wait to see you put some coolant through it. Might need a few pieces of cardboard to stop coolant being flung far and wide 😎 Robert
Matty sounds like you're having rain this morning so we are also in the mountains of eastern Kentucky hope you're doing good been hot here keep the videos coming really enjoy them
@@MattysWorkshop Hi Matty, it maybe worth machining the 19mm A/F hex full length between top of quill spindle to under side of rotary coupling, ref save having to climb up on a step. Just a thought.
G'day Matty. I just had a thought today that I'd not seen anything come up from you recently, and went on to look to see if I had missed any vids of yours, only to find that you'd not posted anything for a month. I hope to god that isn't because you have further health issues? Anyway I watched this again and am still impressed with the design, the build and the finish. That wobble on the top is insignificant anyway. How much gap is there between the spindle and drawbar? Is there enough room to put a nylon or aluminium sleeve about 6" down inside to straighten things up? Just a thought mate. Cheers from not so great England. Sam
Gday Matty nice job another cool mod for the mill. Yeah drilling those long small diameter holes is always bit scary, good amount of lube is the key as you would know, look forward to seeing the video of it running.
Gday, Having patience is a be help drilling that hole to, its very tempting to go that bit harder but that'll end in tears, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Nice job as we expect from you No Pressure Mate i am sure Kurtis from C E E made one a while back for his new to him Mill very similar in design just one thing when you set up the distribution box thingy make it a double one so you can run air and coolant Cheers Mate
Gday, CEE did build one for the Zayar milling machine, I've built the air distribution setup now which works really well, its going to be a while till I have a coolant setup unfortunately, Thanks for watching, cheers
Awesome job of science. Build a theory and then test the theory so that it is validated to be true. .. Excellent . . Very tricky to drill such a small hole for such a long distance which is a bit risky. . GREAT JOB.
Another really interesting one. Thanks Matty, you do some great work. I’m planning to one day add one of those air operated Maxi Torque draw bar systems, so I’m imagining that the top section on yours with the air / coolant feed tube would interfere with it unfortunately, because what you have done is a really good idea. Maybe the designer who made the plans for you could perhaps design something compatible perhaps? 🤷♂️ My butt was puckered watching you drill that long hole. I once had to drill a hole 4 feet long up through the centre of a wooden standard lamp for the power chord & light bayonet fitting etc, on a wood lathe. I bought a through turning tail stock and a machinist mate turned and silver soldered a twist drill onto a 4 foot + 3/8ths rod, with T handle. I started “pecking away at it” - pulling it out and clearing the chips, every few mm, & it took forever to do. Sadly tho the drill followed the grain inside the wood and wandered off centre & broke out the side about 4 inches before reaching the top, completely destroying the whole piece, that I was copying from an antique made in the late 1880’s. Talk about soul destroying. You drilling this long hole brought back some bad memories for me from at least 35 years ago. I never got tempted to make another one after that. It also made me wonder how the heck they did it back in the 1880’s? 🤷♂️ Watching you with that long drill then had me wondering how rifle barrels are drilled? 🤷♂️ This one made my brain ache, but it really was enjoyable to watch so thank you sincerely. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Gday, A air drawbar won't work with this setup, I didn't think drilling that long hole was going to go as good as it did to be honest, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Hey Matty I haven’t heard yet so is your health doing better? That would be a major accomplishment if you have beaten it. Love to hear about it if you have a chance.
Happy days Matty, hope you're keeping well? my dad's been watching, shout out to Gussie ❤ I'm off crook with me swede, mind you it's 27⁰ and pants o'clock, and I'm in from the garden, chilling out to your latest video, thanks for sharing and best wishes to you
G'day Matty. That is some drill bit, any longer & you would have to put a Patent out on it. 😅😅😅 Great video from start to finish. Looks better than a store bought one 👌 😉 👍🏻
Matty that turned out Great, and is also a Great Idea. What is the Type and Model of your Lathe? I’m looking at getting a better Lathe soon, and I’m really impressed with yours. I can’t wait to catch up on all your Videos I missed. I was in the Hospital for a while and couldn’t use my Phone.👍👍😁
Gday, the lathe is a Hare and Forbes (Hafco) AL960b, it’s a Taiwanese machine, not a bad lathe for the price really, I’d never buy a Chinese machine again mate
G'day Matty, that's a great build mate, a complete win in my eyes. I have a brand new unused coolant pump and tank and if you were in the UK I'd donate that to you for your mill. I'd hate to wonder what the shipping cost would be from the UK to Oz, probably three or four times the cost of the pump and tank as it's a quite heavy unit for its size! I'm a little confused as to where the air was escaping when you did your test. Was that a through coolant endmill you were using? Thinking about it it must have been! Doh! Sorry mate I've just woken up lol. Cheers from the UK. Sam
I’ve considered similar myself, and the arrival of your video left me giddy. A couple of concerns, that have left me hesitant is the probability of leakage from the drawbar / collet interface, and leakage from the collet itself, into the quill, to contaminate bearings, wash out lubrication, and eventual corrosion from water based coolants / and moisture laden shop air. While I expect there are through coolant specific tool holding solutions, my home shop situation doesn’t lend itself to buying additional specific purpose tool holding, even if I was to pursuit second hand through coolant tooling. Guess I’m curious, if / how, you’ve addressed this issue. As always, thanks for sharing another brilliant project via your videos.
Another excellent outcome, that is the longest 4mm drill I've ever seen, I have to admit I was wondering how you were going to get that deep until you pulled that out, Well Done. 👍 PS: Did you receive that sticker I sent you yet ?? I sent one to Belgium the day after I posted yours and he got that a week ago, I haven't received yours yet, good old Aust Post, slow as a wet week.
Gday Paul, Your letter arrived today, Australia Post has been absolute crap lately, I got a quote to get this drill from a company in Sydney, well I could afford to buy quite a few drills and material and still have a roll of notes in the pocket, Thanks for watching, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Back when I sold my acreage property back home, some paperwork was posted from the small town nearby, to another less than 50km away, it took Aust Post 3 weeks to deliver it, absolutely pathetic, Thai Post is awesome, they deliver 7 days a week as well.
Great build Matty. I would think that if you get any leaks when you use coolant, you might want to flip those seals the other way around so that the lips are pushed onto the shaft by the (relatively low) pressure of the coolant.
Matty, I may have missed it, but were you able to make the boring head plans available? This through coolant/air drawbar is a great idea! I may have to build one too to fit my smaller mill-drill. ;)
Gday, hopefully won’t be to long and the plans for the boring and facing head will be available, I’ll let everyone know when they are in a video mate, appreciate you watching and commenting, cheers
Turned out really nice Matty, I wounder though it was hard to see but it looked like you put the seals in with spring facing the bearing which I believe should be the other way to stop coolant from entering the bearings
Superb build Matty. One thought ; when you come to rig up the distribution block have you considered making an annular groove in the space between the bearings/seals on the draw bar to allow a constant supply of coolant otherwise you would be creating an intermittent flow to you cutter having only one hole in the drawbar; or have I missed something in the build?
Awesome job on drilling those long holes! Can't wait to see it in action. I might have missed it, but did you cap the hole at the top of the drawbar? Won't coolant run up and out of it as well as down?
awesome work sir! the olny thing that hit me was did you lube the seals before install? if not you may end up having to chane them out due to the dry friction destroying the sealing surface. if ya did, your good to go sir!
Well done my friend I have a dumb question what do you ues to clean the lathe iv been using brake clean but like everything else it's getting expensive
great build, was wondering about this for my warco mill, just a thought though will the seals be ok running dry eg just air or will they need liquid coolent !
Nice job, Matty. The only thing that occurred to me was do you think the seals are oriented the right way around? The lips want to be facing the fluid that wants to be contained, in this case the coolant. It was a little difficult to see which way around you did fit them but just thought I'd mention it. Cracking job, though. Mart.
Matty, there is a Wohlhaupter UPA5 $750 in my town (Washington State USA) that is available, There are photos available for inspection. thought i'd let you know. I also let Kurtis know as well.
do you have plans for the power draw-bar Matty ? I wouldn't mind getting a copy to make one for my ancient Archdale VM30 Mill , it would make changing tools a lot easier as the machine stands about 7 feet tall and it's a massive old machine. Any help is appreciated TY
Awesome clip Matty! New sub!
Looks good Matty,we'll,done I'm watching this in October 2024 it's been since summer and waiting for a new video is all well. I hope,so from Canada 🇨🇦
Well done Matty. Some people start a video saying they bought a drill bit but not many start by saying I MADE this drill bit. That’s cool. Cheers, Stuart. Canberra.

That was a great video Marty, and for that long of a drill bit I thank the runout is pretty good my friend. Great job👍.
top one Matty between you and Curtis that's my week complete, not to forget Max out Perth way, you keep well, cheers
Yep. 🙂 I look forward to the three Musketeers from Oz every week also. 👍🇳🇱
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Nice one 👍👍

That is the longest down the center hole I have ever seen being drilled. Good job Matty.
Gday John, longest i've ever drilled before mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Blimey Matty, I was puckering up when you were drilling that breakthrough. Well done mate. I've never drilled anything even as 1/4 deep as that hole.
Gday, I was a surprised how well this drilled, Appreciate you watching, Cheer
@@MattysWorkshop yes it was a good watch! It certainly seems that Sutton tools makes quality gear. They're an Aussie brand aren't they Matty?
@@samrodian919 Gday, Sutton tools are Australian, in Melbourne I believe

U guys are great and I always learn a lot every time I watch videos
Thanks ur friend in states
Gday, yes Kurtis did this to his Zayer mill that has a fixed quill, it’s awesome to hear your enjoying the videos mate and truly appreciate you watching, cheers
Nice job and the first time I have seen a through coolant feed for a Bridgeport-type mill.
Next project may be splash guards to control the coolant.
Gday, I’ve seen a few on horizontal mills before, it was worth the a try mate, it’ll be a while till I get a coolant setup at this stage unfortunately, appreciate you watching
Well done mate 👏👏
Deep hole drilling is not for the faint hearted …
Can’t wait to see you put some coolant through it.
Might need a few pieces of cardboard to stop coolant being flung far and wide 😎

Thanks Robert, it’ll be a good while till I get coolant on this mill unfortunately, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
I never get tired of watching your videos
Thanks mate, glad you enjoy
Wonderful video Matty. Held my breath on that last bit of threading... Lotta work before that last bit. Right on👍🏻
Gday, I was really hoping I didn't screw up the threading after drill that hole, Thanks for watching mate, cheers
Matty sounds like you're having rain this morning so we are also in the mountains of eastern Kentucky hope you're doing good been hot here keep the videos coming really enjoy them

I think Curtis at Cutting Edge Engineering has done this also Matty.
He certainly did on the Zayer mill that has a fixed quill
Brilliant idea and execution. I couldn’t see much wobble at all on the finished item - top work as always. 👍
Gday Stuart, there is a bit of wobble up top but not to bad really, appreciate you watching mate, cheers

Another great video Matty, thanks for all you do for us, stay well, and see you on the next one.
I think it's a good idea. That will work just fine.
Ind I like your extra long drill bit.
Thanks Rustinox, it’s not a drawbar I’ll use every day but handy when it’s needed, thanks for watching
Brilliant idea Matty. Made to your usual high standards. Scary long drill, but I guess a quality one. Cheers Nobby
Gday Nobby, drilling the hole went better then I was expecting thats for sure, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

G'day Matty. Sorry for late support on this video. Now that's a bloody long drill bit mate. Excellent work as per usual mate. Cheers, Aaron.
Wow! Epic deep hole drilling, Matty. So, do you have to restrain the upper bearing housing other than by the PU air line?
Regards, Preso
Gday Preso, so far the PU line is doing the job just fine, thanks for watching
Awesome job of science. Build a theory and then test the theory so that it is validated to be true. .. Excellent . . Very tricky to drill such a small hole for such a long distance which is a bit risky. . GREAT JOB.
Thanks Paul, I'm glad it worked thats for sure, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Nice job Matty, it works quite well.
Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
Another really interesting one.
Thanks Matty, you do some great work.
I’m planning to one day add one of those air operated Maxi Torque draw bar systems, so I’m imagining that the top section on yours with the air / coolant feed tube would interfere with it unfortunately, because what you have done is a really good idea.
Maybe the designer who made the plans for you could perhaps design something compatible perhaps? 🤷♂️
My butt was puckered watching you drill that long hole.
I once had to drill a hole 4 feet long up through the centre of a wooden standard lamp for the power chord & light bayonet fitting etc, on a wood lathe.
I bought a through turning tail stock and a machinist mate turned and silver soldered a twist drill onto a 4 foot + 3/8ths rod, with T handle.
I started “pecking away at it” - pulling it out and clearing the chips, every few mm, & it took forever to do.
Sadly tho the drill followed the grain inside the wood and wandered off centre & broke out the side about 4 inches before reaching the top, completely destroying the whole piece, that I was copying from an antique made in the late 1880’s.
Talk about soul destroying.
You drilling this long hole brought back some bad memories for me from at least 35 years ago.

Gday Mart, I did screwup and put the seals in backwards but I’ve fixed that now, thanks for keeping an eye on me mate, cheers
Hey @Mattysworkshop ! I hope you’re ok - I’m getting concerned for you. Kind regards from the UK
I’m doing ok thanks mate
Running air through it, why not turn up a venturi attachment to draw up coolant without using a pump?
Thats a good idea mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Matty, there is a Wohlhaupter UPA5
$750 in my town (Washington State USA) that is available, There are photos available for inspection. thought i'd let you know. I also let Kurtis know as well.
Thanks mate, cheers
do you have plans for the power draw-bar Matty ? I wouldn't mind getting a copy to make one for my ancient Archdale VM30 Mill , it would make changing tools a lot easier as the machine stands about 7 feet tall and it's a massive old machine. Any help is appreciated TY
Gday, this isn’t a power drawbar sorry,
G'day Matty
Gday mate, Hope you had a good week
