Ade Hope you are well. Missing your videos.

Like Christmas morning!

Just found this series and getting myself set up with a drink and a snack, looking forward to a good evening of fixing up a lathe , great stuff 😂 thanks

Thanks - THAT unlocked my "brain freeze" which I had for the same problem. I'll have to fit an AXA-QCTP to a 210x400mm mini lathe (CT2140V, 750W), which has the same boss on its compound/top slide. You're right, the AXA-size is way more sturdy and "hefty" than the 0XA-size, and it fits these 8"x12-20" mini lathes just fine.

What's happened to Ade,hope he's ok🤔

Ade, you probably already know this.... I have a 6ltr ultrasonic bath which I use for carburetors mainly but in order to save the cleaning solution I keep a small amount of it mixed in a bottle and use lidded jam jars suspended in the main bath of just water for small stuff like jets etc. The ultrasound travels through the jam jar glass unhindered and, with the parts in the solution, cleans the contents of the jam jar. Saves a great deal of cleaning solution if you only need to clean a few small bits.

Excellent, had my wm250 for 15 years and even though I use it and awful lot not yet tried threading.an inspiring tutorial, thank you.

My best ever birthday present was getting one of these when I was ten.

When are you going to finish the clock

Hi Aidy, Hope you are OK just you haven't posted anything of late, anyway as I say hope all well Alan

What happened to your channel. Everything ok

We’re can I get a dial indicator like this one

Thank you for the video! I have a few of these but making them is appealing (custom shapes, materials). One bit of advice (I am not a pro but have some experience with watches): for watch-sized hands it tends to be best to not have a v-slot, or maybe have a very tiny one. But the edge may need to be quite thin. The professional levers are steel because they need to last, but brass may be better for occasional use because it's less likely to scratch. This is an inspiration for me to try making them, thank you!

Can the milling machine do imperial measurements or is it only metric

Happy birthday Ade.

Just found your channel and got addicted Haha. Could I as is the yellow handle you used to turn the threads one you've made or something you've bought? Thank you

Nice work Ade....well done buddy👍👍👍

Hi Im very late to the party.I have just got my first lathe and the power feed seems like a really good idea. I am puzzled as to how the pulley is attached to the lead screw as there is very little thread at the end of the shaft. keep up the good videos

Just bought a Hyundai chain saw, and I thought I’d look on KZbin to see if it’s been reviewed and came upon a set up and start video. I thought hold on a minute he looks familiar and that voice………..lol

My project for lead screw is for an Atlas 12x54. I'm thinking ...why can't the motor be on the change gear end? Also wonder if switches & controls could be built into the apron with a mini joystick for F & R and jog.

Nice video Ade. I'm thinking of buying one of these mill for my workshop. Would you recommend them after having used it for a few years? Cheers.

Much appreciated sir

Why no take the side panel off and use it for the new side instead of stripping the cladding off it just wondered

Loved watching this , just converted my garage into a workshop and although I have had no practice as of yet and about to purchase a mini lathe I’m learning lots from guys like you , love how one minute you’re indecisive and after a small discussion with yourself a minute later then bang you crack on hahaha Thanks a lot ade

Thanks Ade

Your video gave me an idea. I'll use the L bracket that came with DRO, and attach reading head to the longer wall 80mm, and shorter wall 40mm attach to 40mmx40mm 80mm long L bracket, which would be bolted to moving column. The scale just bolted to fixed column, with opening facing away from the flying chips.

Mounting the base casting to that aluminum plate was very smart. I will use that in my machining endeavors.

Hi,Ade. I somehow missed this DTI holder and box build. I have to say yours is the best version of Stefan's low profile holder I've ever seen. Five star job on this build 👌

Thanks for your helpfull S50 build videos!! I only have a lathe with a milling attachment, to tackle the S50, so wish me luck! Looking fwd to the rest of your S50 greatness!

Very interesting series looking forward to the next one

I rubbed my oil pourer and a Tormach CNC mill appeared so can vouch that there is a workshop genie all be it he only makes an appearance once in a while. However, the workshop gremlins are always waiting to pounce😂

Great stuff thanks Ade - this series is inspiring me to have a go at fixing an old Westminster Chime clock I’ve just been given!

Mr Ade. This clock of yours is looking great. Very nice work.

I’ve always been fascinated by the inner workings of clocks and the high degree of workmanship required to build and repair them, These videos are providing a great insight into how intricate these mechanisms really are. All credit to you Ade as you learn and develop news skills and methods to master your new hobby. Well done 👍👍

Is it a pivot? I suppose it's a matter of a pinion 🙂

Can I have a borrow of your oil can, Ade?

Ade... You cant fart in a workshop that small mate... Risk of explosion! LOL Frank...

I'm enjoying this series on the clock Ade, educational as usual, thanks very much. Stephen.

Hi Ade, 13:00. I like a lot of people love watching Steve on the repair shop and I often wondered how he picks up the centre on worn holes, perhaps he uses this method.

Ade another cracking video. I like the way you explain all your machining processes, which are clear and precise. John

Anything that you do is interesting! A great video!

Those tiny broaches look like 5 fluted hand reamers, but I don’t really know.

Hi Ade, I was shocked to see the price of BA nuts and bolts , I,ve always worked BA but have now run out of stock.

Very interesting video Ade. The fixture plate is a great idea. Enjoyed all the machining on the bearing. Great price on the arbour press. I sent you an email a little while ago. Hope it arrived? Cheers Nobby

Hi Ade, I always enjoy you vidios, the varied content is always interesting. Just a thought on your bushes, the usual practice is to use the pentagonal shaped reamers on the bore of the bushes until the pivot bearing just goes in then use a tapered burnisher to polish and work harden the bearing bore. Yes this does produce a tapered bore but reduces the bearing area to help reduce drag when the clock is operational. It also helps to retain a little oul in the bearing, a plain drilled hole in the bush will work but a polished bore helps to slow wear down on the pivot. I'm not telling you what to do just thought the thought might be of help. P.S where do you get the special oil can from, tried rubbing the one in my shed absolutly nothing, spose I'll have to get the credit card out. Thanks again for you great vidiods

Hi Ade, I want to do a similar project both on my lathe and my mill. I’ve watched all your videos on the subject and you mention links to the necessary parts. Please can you point me in the right direction to find the parts list. Also have you ever done a video on obtaining materials for hobby machining? Love your work and the relaxed style of presentation.

A cam handle

To be honest ade I love the diversity of your channel I love machining and horology having those skills means the skys the limit all the best

Great method . Thank you
