Hello sir, I got my Haas mini. I would like to get a coolant oil skimmer and another filter added to the coolant. I noticed some small aluminum flakes already in the tank. I remember you mentioning that you added these to your mini. Any chance you can help me out on what and where to get these please. Thanks.

Good day Sir, I have received my new mini mill and have my OTS tool setter mounted in the same orientation as yours. I also am mounting 2 of the 6”Kurt vises from Haas. My question is how far from the tool setter puck to mount a vise. And also is there any type of cutter and measure routines to avoid like a 2.5” facemill. Would be nice if you could make a video for is newbees when setting these up. Thank you.

19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and [a]fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with [b]the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:19-31

Try to use more concentrated smaller flames for connections. Wider flames make the problem that they heat more than you actually want to. For better results use an even heat while turning up the foot. Is doesn't have to be that hot. If you do this you will notice a Grey film which you can melt away after with a sharp flame. But it will come out way more centered. Awesome Lathe! I could really use one like this!

Nice design! Glad someone else is finally syncing with electronics, there are a lot of things that can be done, I can't wait to see how far you take it. The first time I did mathematically driven switchbacks with spindle differential rotation and saw it work I felt a rush like no other, make a back rail system for tooling! Glass ground joint rolling is fun too. It is gonna work by the way, I've donee it and you can too!

Worked Quartz glass on a 16 ft Heathway lathe with a 300 mm bore for over 25 years at Texas Instruments. We made our own Quartz glass burners. Good job on the work. As a scientific glass blower we call a weld a "seal".

Figure out how to make the whole thing stand on end/ cartwheel 180, or at least seesaw rocking to the 45's, and I think there might be something special here. "Rock the 45's" is what my blower pal told me as I made my first (only) piece. Gravity was suddenly my friend! That always stuck with me. So did talking out my ass apparently, as I don't do glassworks at all. But this lesson was useful far beyond glass, and this IS glass... Anyone willing to tell me? Help me out here, Insight or ignorance?

Impressions as they happen: 1. Cool 2. Geez those bearings. They have to be $500 each. 3. I wonder why a common old south bend base wasn't used. 4. Interesting but I've never seen an inventor show his ideas publicly until a patent or something. 5. No tool post. 6. I like it. I wonder if the weld failed if it would have been posted. lol 7. I wonder if the stepper motors are control with a raspberry pie or Arduino or ? 8. I like it. I'll write a comment and give a thumbs up in order to help out.

@@onenewworldmonkey you don't really need the weight, stiffness and rigidity one would associate with a metal lathe base. no tool post (yet) as most simple glass forming tools are hand held. forming specific tapers, rolling vial threads, these types of operations would be nice to have some kind of tool post, for repeatability.

@@travismiller5548 I see your point. A couple weeks ago I saw some open source videos about machining as I just got my bridgeport up and running. Anyhow there was a video of a homemade machine that was like 8 machines in one. It was made up of 2 engine blocks as the structure.! I had never seen such a thing. The spindle came out of a cylinder and the inventor described how to build it throughout the video. It was surprisingly interesting.

@@shaneprice2102 I'm not a coolant expert. I use Trim MicroSol 606 BD. Coolant selection is really complex and I get the one in stock at my local industrial supply. In general, soluble oil is the oldest, but it gets infected with bacteria and stinks. Synthetic lasts longer and doesn't stink, but it's best for steel and stainless.

I just subscribed-not because I work with glass but because I like how you think. I'm afraid its a moot point because I don't see you putting effort into something that not many view. I, too, invent things. Its a part blessing and a part curse. Since you work with glass I'll tell you one I thought of long ago. If you were to make a glass goose such that it is dipping its head in the water. LOL I know this sounds funny. But place the goose in your microwave such that it dips his head in your soup. That way, one would not need to shut off the microwave, pull out your soup, stir it, place it back in the microwave, and turn the microwave back on. The goose is a stirring device which could be easily cleaned and wouldn't interfere with the waves. Additionally, it''s head could be shaped like a farmer's plow.

Hello Sir, I need your help. I am ordering a new Haas Mini Mill and will be running it in my 2 car garage. We are in a residential area in San Diego and I am worried about picking the wrong air compressor that will be too loud for any possible taddle tale neighbors. They all seem cool, but you never know. Can you please recommend a compressor for me to run that won’t be too loud if they exist? Thank you. We enjoy your videos.
@mikepeterson12075 ай бұрын
The mill doesn't require a lot of air, so a smaller compressor would be fine. Noise is all about speed. Fast compressors are louder, but much cheaper. I use a Polar Air slow speed industrial compressor. Fast compressors have motors that run at approx 3500 RPM, slow compressors run around 1700 RPM. Slower motors are bigger and more expensive than fast motors and the pistons on the pump are larger
