I just love DROs. I don’t have a mill yet, but it’s a eye opener

Nice job. One of those would fit my mill. A job for the future. Cheers Tony

Is everyone else’s video just pictures with noise in the back round??

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the spindle lock used for? I never felt the need for that, so I really don't know. Also, I would do something about that wobbling chuck. It ruins the impression of your work seeing that the mill chuck is wobbling that much.

I set up the bit for metal 118 degree with 50% of drill diameter overhang. I then use the adjustment on the base to gently kiss the grinding wheel for the first pass. I rotate bit keeping all settings same, grind again, then i use the adjustment knobs at the back to move the drill forward, grind the flute that i ended with, rotate, adjust again when required etc etc. this ensures even grind with minimal heat. Also the 50% diameter rule ensures sufficient relief from the cutting edges to prevent friction heat build up during drilling. This works just fine for me this way. I have a dedicated grinding wheel that a dress regularly with a diamond to maintain the surface. I just love this tool, cheap and does the job very well.

O porcărie, am cumpărat așa ceva și sunt dezamăgit de acest dispozitiv!

Geez....that's a lot of work, I bought 12, 3d printed ones off of Ebay for $40, & they fit & work great, right on the backsplash.

I’ve watched a lot of your videos, I just ordered the PM1340GT , from precision, a big upgrade from my Grizzly 10x22. Are they as good as they say. Hope so I got it paid for and ordered

My brother shared this video with me we both have a need to build a box for our meat grinders thank you for such well thought out video and good filming skills

That's nice, but you should install an air dryer/cooler system between each compressor and the tank. That will keep all moisture out of your tank and air lines.

Nice I like your work. I may borrow your idea for my lathe. Regards from Townsville Australia

Brilliant setup sir! Would you mind making one for me?

I really like this set up, it's well thought out and executed and I will deffo be making similar modifications to my newly built machine. I'm in uk so finding all the plastic pipe fittings is a tad challenging at the moment but I'm getting there - this is all new to me so a big learning curve. One thing I have noticed on many of these videos is that everyone seems to have the air and slurry etc enter the cabinet on the RHS, now this is not a problem but looking at the way the hoses go when being used by a right handed person they come in then bend 180* then go back the way they came then turn to point to the centre of the cabinet where the work piece is, this seems counter productive to me, if they entered on the left side of the cabinet and came along the back of the front of the cabinet they would naturally curve around to the centre towards the workpiece without straining to bend the pipes. What do others think of this idea? for left handers the usual way works well.

Great video...doing something very similar

Great speed handle build. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

Very good job I enjoyed watching the video thanks

Beautiful work

Very nice work, sir!

Exellent Nuff Said

Schöne Lösung! Stehe vor genau dem gleichen Problem.

Great work. Enjoyed the machining. Cheers Tony

Mouse click central. Lol. Nice project for mill beginners.

Give this lever anodizing.

I have the same machine and it is a joy to use. Super smooth, very precise, and just the right size for my shop.

I have the same machine. Had it for about 7 years and still love it. Congratulations

Fancy, I hope it gives you many years of trouble free service. Congratulations.

Very pleased for you. Looking forward to your future milling videos. I love the way you can have a fork lift on hand to aid delivery unlike the UK with all the red tape. Good stuff...Cheers Tony

Speed it up. We do not need to see every rotation of every cut

How did I ever miss this awesome informational video???? Truly magnificent!! Thank you for sharing the great information....

I also would like to know who makes the centering scope. Please let us know.

You found the distance off the support to be 1/16" where I recommended it to be about 1/8" so it may not be all that critical? What is important is the leading/cutting edge be vertical on the finished pass and it may not be allowed to be anything else by virtue of the design of the sharpener. I'm doing this from memory from a few years back, so forgive me if I'm mistaken. I still use the sharpener without the lip stop with good results, and maybe that's just my method, that works best for me?

I gave you an undeserved thumbs up for showing what not to do! Why did you grind the hell out of that bit that was obviously extended too far?? Had the Craftsman version almost 60 years ago.

Great solution thanks for posting!

Well, you cannot train monkeys...Gently mate...you rammed it into the grinding face...gentle minimal grinding...Why would you reference an engineers handbook...when you clearly have no idea...and post videos, and not 36 grit!!!

Beautiful job! Looks very functional indeed...

Thank you for making this video - as no one else has taken the time to do so. Mine got jammed in the down position while fishing. I knew i could fix it, but this made it a lot easier to do.

Very nice and very accurate, but you need a laptop A more simple way to go ….. put a mini laser with a narrow point in your nice collet set up and see the laser light on the working top of your insert to see the right center height. Also easy on tools mounted upside down for safe parting with reverse spindle rotation. insert

you do nice work, thanks for sharing :)

Pushing on the left side of the slide to apply the clamp disengages the gib of the opposite side. An alternative is to mod the existing lock screw location. Put a ball brg in the screw hole that can be pushed onto the gib, drill & tap a hole in the top of the slide that will intersect with the ball just behind centre, put a point on a screw to push on the ball brg. Plug the original hole

Keep your desk job! Wonder what them knobby things are for😅

Sony boy 😂 the adjustment dood ,! Behind the end of the bit, w t f !

Very nice work sir

nice job, thanks for sharing

WD on your drill

Very nice. That should bring a lot more confidence on setups.

Very cool.

Love this! Please post information about the centering scope.

Thanks for the video! Where do you buy kit like this?

That is a great tool for a quick but rough realignment of the tailstock. Once you have that wonderful camera set up, have you considered making a dedicated tool height reference cylinder that sits on the saddle to check tool height. Some people measure off the lathe bed but I figure the saddle is a better solution for accessability at any time. Where did you purchase the scope? Cheers

Is the tool height the same while making chips? This seems like a lot of mincing round compared to just taking a facing cut and adjusting.
