Boring & Facing Head, Part 3

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I hope you all enjoy the longer video this week, I got a fair bit done so I thought id show it all, Thanks for watching everyone, Cheers

[@AaronEngineering]

That's a lot of work. I'm sure the viewers appreciate it.

[@Preso58]

Gee Matty, I'd be fitting a linear scale to your lathe tailstock and hooking it up to the spare axis readout on your DRO. The star wheel turned out great.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Preso, I've thought about a scale on the tailstock but the cable would be a pain to deal with I think, I wouldn't mind have a cheat over the phone if your keen to, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@TheVillageIdiotUk]

Great work, Matty - you’re showing that young whippersnapper up in Brisbane how it’s done 😊👍🏻(All you need now is a Staffordshire bull terrier with an insatiable appetite for squeaky toys and your very own squadron of butcher birds.) Cheers from pommieland 🇬🇧 I’d also like to compliment you on the quality of the video - lighting, framing, focus, depth of field, lighting and sound are exemplary and your editing is excellent. Watch out Cutting Edge Karen ! 😊

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Truly appreciate you kind words and great feedback, all I use is a GoPro Hero 12 camera on its own, no external mics just the camera, I have learnt a lot from watching Kurtis's videos, Id love to be able to do the work he does thats for sure, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@MrFactotum]

hi Matty a lot of work there, and a great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍atb Kev (UK)

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Kev, it’s been a very enjoyable build so far, appreciate you watching mate

[@mikesworkshopadventures]

Hi Matty. Some intricate work in this episode. Your explanations are great. It's looking impressive. Cheers Mike

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate, I tried to explain it in a way that even I could understand what i was doing, Appreciate you watching, Cheers

[@MyLilMule]

A lot of parts in this build. Looks great, the design is interesting.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Greg, still have a few more bits to build yet but the list is getting shorter, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Looking great . Lol , the star wheel looks like a propeller ! Cheers 👍

Gday Max, Its getting ready to fly off around the workshop, Thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@alanshomeworkshop]

Lots of interesting machining ops there - excellent work as always. Cheers.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Alan, there’s plenty going on with this build, be any chance would you have the information for the 2 gears for the Webster engine build? Cheers

[@RobertBrown-lf8yq]

Marathon Enjoyment mate ‼️ 🥳🥳🥳🥳 And some damn fine machining too Matty 👍 Tonguing for the next bit. Robert

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Its been a mission that's for sure, you only have to wait a couple of hours now, Thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@badger44]

good one Matty, keep `em coming, cheap way of doing a key way, get a square r8 holder for some stock tool steel, grind it up then square it up in the mill, lock out X or Y then use the quill moving over a thou at a time, it`s worked for me in the past as I don`t have broaches,( as long as the key way isn`t too deep) also done it on a Myford lathe like a lot of folks .👍👍👍😁

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I have a solution sitting of the round table in the workshop for doing the keyway now, Appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Matty, Wow that was a lot of tricky details, bang-up job...looks great Nice DRO gift / hookup 👍👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Dean, I have been worried about making this part since I started but now its done I don't know why I was, All the help is in the build notes, The new display is fantastic mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@RalfyCustoms]

G'day Matty, happy days buddy, just in from T'workshop and its throwing it down here, fresh hot coffee and I'm settled down watching, before teatime, have a great one

[@MattysWorkshop]

Certainly an interesting tool mate, I just hope I can keep doing a good job till the end, thanks for watching

[@gregbakke8296]

Watching guys like you and Kurtis from CEE makes me wish I would have been a machinist. I would have had to decide that like 40+ years ago. Oh well, I can live vicariously through you!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I’m only self taught at machining so you can do the exact same mate

[@marionstorm9004]

No worries, Matty. We're happy to watch whatever you do whenever you do it. Cheers!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate

[@andrewhorsburgh2549]

Another top job by matty. Cheers, Andy from NZ.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks Andy, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@Rustinox]

I like the hand wheel challenge. It's a "stay concentrated" job, but the result looks great.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Rustinox, the concentration level was pretty high but really it wasn't that hard to build in the end mate, Thanks for watching

[@624Dudley]

G’Day Matty, looking good. 👍 I see the trusty Bridgeport is doing you right.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the mill is working fantastic, I’d be lost without it now, thanks for watching mate

[@paulcooper9135]

I am NEITHER a machinist nor even a hobby machinist (maybe if I could go back 40 years and pick a different career) ... but this field truly captures my attention. You did an excellent job of explaining what had to be done and how you achieved it! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I tried to explain the process in a way that I could understand, its easy to build the part but not easy to explain it, It really is a great hobby that can be started at any age, all you need is to have a go mate, Appreciate you watching, cheers

[@Steviegtr52]

Nice work Matty. Not an easy project, but you'll get it bang on. Steve.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Steve, definitely the most technical build I’ve done, thanks for watching

[@AllanBirch-yw4cc]

Matty, it appears to me that the harshest critic you have is the little voice in your head. You are a great teacher of how to machine/engineer outcomes of the highest standard. Please don’t doubt yourself. You’re very, very good at what you do! Stay safe.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Thanks for the kind words, I am hard on myself simply because I want to push myself to be better at the hobby, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, This build is starting to take shape now, I think you'll be impressed with the end results mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@StuartsShed]

Really excellent work - that’s a complex little part. This boring head is a fascinating instrument and I’m really enjoying seeing it come together. Very much appreciate you going the extra mile to make a second part to show the process. 👍👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Im glad I did build the second star wheel, I did a terrible job of recording the first one, Appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@nobbysworkshop]

Some real quality machining there Matty. I really enjoyed watching you work on it. Great news that you now have a nice DRO monitor on the lathe. Cheers Nobby

Hi Matty. Way to noodle it through on the star wheel. This thing is going to look so good when finished that you won't want to use it.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, The star wheel was a learning curve for me, is going to look alright when its all complete, Thanks for watching, cheers

[@etbuilds6006]

Great video again, no need to be so bashful, your explanations are a lot better than most of my teachers could manage. As George said, the editing is amazig, considering you do all the build, filming and editing done in week! Keep it up, mate!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I try to explain things in a way I can understand it myself, doing the machining, filming and editing keeps me pretty busy, thanks for watching

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

Like you Matty, I don't have much experience with the rotary table and I've been saying that I believe there is an easy way and a hard way to set them up, glad to see you found the easy way with the 10mm pin, nice bit of work all round. 👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Im certainly getting some experience with the rotary table in the build mate, Thanks for watching, cheers

[@paulrayner4514]

I bet that took some head scratching working that out, well done mate.

Thanks mate, I tried to explain it in a way I could understand it myself, Appreciate you watching, Cheers

[@patrickcolahan7499]

One way to use a less than perfect press run a broach, is to press a little then release the pressure, allow the broach to realign and then apply a bit more pressure, repeating the reset often to ensure alignment. Great job as usual Matty. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I have a solution for doing the keyway now sitting on the faceplate table mate, im also thinking of modifying the press again at some stage and building my own cylinder and ran from a hydraulic power unit, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

Fancy having a go, I've downloaded some plans but they require me to buy parts from an American company that no longer supplies them. No measurements to build my own. Where did you get your plans? Be brilliant to build this engine.

Not my day today. Made a simple part on the lathe, then threw it in the box of shame coz I didn’t check my drill bit when I pulled it out of the drill index box & the hole was oversize. Came down the house, saw a Marty’s Workshop vid & thought “blow it, I’ll watch this instead of going back up the shed & re-make it”. Sat down and started watching & nodded off in the chair & missed most of it. Achievements today? What Paddy Shot At. 🙄😡👎 Shoulda stayed in bed today. 😜😂

[@johnmoore1025]

Hi matt this might be a silly idea but could you put the part in the lathe and use the tail stock to press the broach into it

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

Or make a single cutting edge broaching tool and use the mill quill.

I guess this could work for sure, thanks for watching

Well done on the handwheel. How many hours did it take to make it?

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Tom, I'd say once I had the blank mounted in the rotary table it only took about an hour or two to machine the spokes, it was much quicker then I thought it was going top be, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@bobvines00]

Matty, I've got a couple of questions about this video: 1. Are the drawings for this boring/facing head available anywhere? 2. How does the Inox MX3 lubricant compare to anything like WD-40 when used as a cutting fluid?

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the plans will become available soon once it’s proven my build works, I’m using WD40 and CRC5:56 in the Inox bottle, thanks for watching

[@samrodian919]

G'day Matty. Please don't worry about how you explained things. You did it pretty well mate. And all the parts you've done have come out bloody well. Especially the star wheel. One question, did you have to work out the offsets for the spokes, or is it given in the plans? If you had to work it out yourself, then bloody well done! You're a better mathematician than me! You mate are a much better machinist than you ever give yourself credit for, and one of the reasons I and many others love watching your channel is your humility. Cheers forum England, Sam

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Sam, the build notes explain how to build the components and include offsets, there’s no way my brain could work this out, it’s really been an interesting build so far mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@chrisoakey9841]

Because of filming, have you considered running a few air nozzles down to your lathe and mill heads to both clear the chips and cool? Not to get rid of the other advantages of air, but to compliment the squirts of oil.
