hey just wanted to say i used to love your videos. not sure if youll see this but hope your doing well.

This might be my favorite style of DIY drawbar. Really compact, not too tall. Nice design. Great job. As imitation is the best form of flattery…. I will be copying this 😎👍

How does the side knob come off

Well done

Nice work !

Hi Colin, I know I'm late to the party but I'm looking for the first part of this project. I'm thinking of a similar unit for my new PM932 mill. I've seen Mr Presley's vesion and also pragmaticlee's version. He has a similar machine to mine but I'm not enthusiastic about his operational function. I prefer Presley's version. Do you have a part one of this build and if so where is it? Thanks in advance. Regards from Canada's banana belt. 🤞🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇲👍 I think I found it but still seems like a huge jump from your beginning to plan it in AutoCAD to where you're building ot in what I perseve as part 2.

Great job, saved that CV joint from being thrown in the bin

Great design and execution. Chee rd s

You can buy a power feed for a mill and adapt it to your mag drill handle and have power feed. I'm working on mine now if you'd like contact me and I'll send you some videos of it at work

Nice set up, how big is your shop?

Any videos for that adjustment clamp you made?

That is the coolest welding jacket I've ever seen!! what brand is it? and thanks for the teachings i now can afford to line bore :)

Gday, the line borer worked a treat, brilliant job mate, Cheers

Gday Colin, this works great and not expensive to build, new sub here, Cheers

Hola buenas donde puedo conseguir una de esas soy de bolivia

on yer setting tool, its possible to get "micrometer heads" just the threaded bit with the thimble and barrel so you can mount that and use it to adjust the cutting tool.

what is that boring bar od... is it friendly with heavy cuts.

I am curious as to how long this project took you to complete ? Great rebuild !

Simple 😎 nicee

No need for square holes in the boring bar. I built mine 20 years ago and it has round holes for the tool bit. Works fine

Glad I stumbled across your channel these stops are premo buddy absolutely gorgeous work look forward to binge watching your channel as soon as I wrap up abombs been watching machining content about two years been doing it myself for about a year learning as I go picking up all the tips I can as I watch and work thank you for taking the time and effort to video this and post

Man this is sweet

Thanks for sharing! Hope it fits

Cutting edge

Very good job I am very interested and I have learned many thanks for sharing is what I was looking for I have a mag drill and I needed to do a borin line with the mag thank you very much for sharing

Watching from Qatar Awesome

Colin, you are a quality individual! Nice shop tour and gift!

Looks like great stuff! No vidoes in a while...hope you are okay!

Sorry to see that your business is suffering. Hoping you can hold on until this junk is over! Great to stay busy improving the shop while you are waiting. Missed you - I've been out of metalworking for 6 years since my Dad passed away but getting geared up to get back into the shop!

What was wrong with the line-boring unit You build based on a magdrill ? It looked quite solid.

lord 'tunderin. nice job

I'm still perplexed on winch position on the gantry beam. I may build a winch saddle mount over the beam with bearings so my winch wire does not bind and directly meets the pulley block on the lifting end.

Like your crane project...mounting the 12 v winch on top really helped solved my winch location delema. I may use a fair lead or roller to prevent a winch wire failure.

very interesting I once own a inline boring head for doing , lorry calendars I think I still have the micrometre that mad the fine adjustments .

good set up

Holy Moly, Jack Elam is still alive OMG !!!!

Check your horse break to chattering is coming from one too big of a gap and it breaking up properly adjustment but good job on

New subscriber here,,nice fabrication. Thx to Ray, his channel lead me to yours. Now to start fabing up one here at our shop. The kit's like the one's at Priest Tools are way out my retirement budget, and to over designed for a mom & pop shop,,Thz for sharing,,,Bear

Gidday Shagger, about to mount a fly cutter on mine and i thought i'll have a look on You Tube if any one else has done this. The only thing I'd change on yours is the steel base the mag base mounts onto. I'd go 1 inch thick, thicker it is the stronger it hangs on. nice work though.

I did that untill someone walked by and tripped over the plug end and everything came crashing down! So I took the magnet off installed insulated spade connectors and added a few feet of wire enough to get magnet out of the way safely. Then cut a 1" plate to put in the magnets place bolting it to the drill motor. Even a power bump and it will fall. And by lengthening the wires it still ran. Was a newer drill with circuit board in it. Good luck! Nice work.

Nice job looks really nice

Hard to keep smaller bars from wobbling. Without 3 bearings. As long as cuts aren't to deep. Nice machine!

How about of the welding iner face . Any ideas...definitely no by hand ...

Great setup. I have been thinking of doing a setup with mag drill. Thank you for sharing.

👏👏👏👍🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷💗

Great video ! Great work ! The only confusing part for me is the imperial system. I would get a headache if i had to work in imperial😅

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks

Good evening great job compliments I love it kindly could you send me the drawings with the relative specifications and the model and measurements of the pneumatic piston thanks regards Valter Italy

Hello could you kindly email me the drawings for the drawbar including the piston drawings. thanks regards Valter Italy

good stuff but with global warning , you wont see a drop of snow any more there wouldnt you?
