Brobo Leadscrew

Gday, I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years,
This video i made a new leadscrew and nut for a Brobo saw vice, things didn't go to plan to start with but got there in the end,
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching, Cheers

[@pendarischneider]

Greetings and welcome back. It's a new year so let's do the checklist: 1. Health update - sounded boring which is good in medical matters (hope it stays that way) 2. Commissioned job - worked to get a mate out of trouble, excellent 3. Chips - suitable amount of metal sacrificed while extracting those part from stock, nice threads 4. Coolant - present and flowing well 5. Mistakes/complications - just enough for keeping the narrative interesting All up - well done, and carry on. Thanks 😉

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, thats a brilliant checklist and i'm hoping No1 stays that way to, time will tell there mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers

[@RetroSteamTech]

Sometimes Matty it's just easier to make the whole thing 🙂 Nice job as always 👍👍 Cheers, Alan.

[@mongoose388]

Did a favor using a standard thread you can get in a tap.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Alan, that’s exactly what happened this time mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@joedowling5452]

Always a good day when you put up a new video Matty. If internal trapazoidal threads were easy to male we'd surely see them in more places. You got the customer working again which is the important thing.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I think your spot on there, Grinding the tool isn't easy with all the angles but plan B worked out alright in the end thankfully, Cheers

[@merc7105]

Nice work regardless. Onya Matty.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate, Cheers

[@honeycuttracing]

Would say fellow is happy, no matter what thread as long as it works 👍 great job, good to see ya back!!!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, So far its worked spot on and he was really happy to have the machine working again, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@Rustinox]

It's good to see you can find the energy to do things. I know it's the hardest part. As for grinding a cuttung tool, the next one will be spot on. I'm sure you will figure it out.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Rustinox, I’m feeling pretty good now finally, grinding tools has never been easy for me mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@davidhall1779]

good to see you at work in the shop. nice little project to begin the year with.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it’s good to be back mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@harlech2]

Great first video of 2024 Matty! Man, I gotta say... you are looking a lot better than you did in your last video. You color seems better and you are right orney again!!! That's our Matty... fight a Brown Snake before breakfast, and a Great White after lunch and still be man enough to take all the women home at last bell. Hope your health continues to improve and I hope the rest of your 2024 is awesome.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Im finally feeling a lot better then I was but im not 100% yet, the end of last year really took it outa me, more then I first thought but ill claw me way back slowly, Really appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Hhey there. Matty, good morning to see ya! The ability to complete the task,in a different but acceptable fashion is a win no matter what transpires. Well do ne. Matty 👍🏁🏁🙏

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, We got there in the end which what matters, appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@eyuptony]

Always a pleasure to watch Matty. That'll last 50 + years. Why make more work? It's going to do the job just as well. ATB Tony

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Tony, it'll probably out last me mate, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@derinteriors]

You're looking great Matty. Keep hanging on to those mill and lathe handles. There is no better therapy brother.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I’m slowly getting back into it after a good break, appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@sharkrivermachine]

Thanks for sharing, Happy New Year

[@MattysWorkshop]

Happy new year Steve, Cheers

[@paulcooper9135]

Happy New Year! I'm not upset that you couldn't make the tool you wanted ... it gave us a longer video!!! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, glad you enjoyed the video mate, happy new year, cheers

[@johnmoore1025]

Great to see you back online hopefully your scans come back all clear and the rust is all gone

[@MattysWorkshop]

Its good to be back mate and time will tell if the rust converter has done its job, Cheers

[@howardiknow1133]

I believe I have stood on that spot at Twofold....been a while since I was down your way, so I think it's time I get my behind away from work and the van out the backyard 😊

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, hopefully you get back down this way again, nothing like a good holiday, cheers

[@kimber1958]

Nice work my friend you must be feeling better. You look 100% better. Carry-on.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Kimber, Im feeling a ton better but still not 100% yet, I hope you had a great Christmas and new years mate, Cheers

[@mongoose388]

Glad to see you well enough to go in the shop.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, feeling pretty good at the moment thanks mate, cheers

[@barrycaudle9926]

Nice work around, to get something happening.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks Barry, Im not real happy I couldn't do the job properly but thats what happens sometimes, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@bearsrodshop7067]

One thing Matty is great at besides machining, is going out side the box to make a project work even if it takes another way to approach it! Great first video for 2024, and your looking top notch mate. Keep on Keeping on, and old Bear knows your scans will be positive as mine were. Best to the Misses, Bear.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Bear, Plan B worked out well, I get the results in a week or so but hopefully the rust converter has done its job, time will tell mate, thanks for watching, Cheers

[@rjung_ch]

Hey Matty, thanks for bringing us along with this one. Cheers 👍💪✌

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers

[@billmacfarlane4083]

Thanks for coming back for us!

[@MattysWorkshop]

It’s good to be back mate, cheers

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Good to see you back in the new year Matty. You did well to get the job done with the materials you have on hand. I hope you have good news from your results.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday John, it’s good to be back but I did enjoy the break, hopefully have to news soonish, thanks for watching, cheers

[@907jl]

Some times, you just have to roll with what you've got. Good plan B Matty! Bet that V-thread lead screw and nut will work great and last a long time.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Plan B worked out well thankfully and will last for years, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@frankdoner8402]

Find job Mattie. Hope you're feeling better and getting some energy back.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Im a lot better then what I was but still could be better mate, Cheers

[@pst3615]

You have sweat running up your crack, we're freezing our nuts off, great to see you again and thanks for showing a nice job to help a mate cutting big chunks. 😉

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it’s been bloody warm here lately, I prefer the cooler weather, thanks for watching, cheers

[@GoCreatehms]

Plan B worked fantastic, nice work!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Nigel, Hope you well mate, Plan B is pretty common in the workshop here mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@georgeleroytirebitergi812]

Best wishes for clear scans and smoother sailing in 2024. Always enjoy your videos and your can do/will do approach. From a long (long, long) ago third shift turret lathe operator at Standard Pressed Steel (Unbrako!) in Jenkintown, PA, USA. As youse guys say, "Cheers, mate!".

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, hopefully I’ll have a health update soonish mate, appreciate your kind words and thanks for watching, cheers

[@Churchill250267]

Nice to see you're back! Plan A is always to have a Plan B!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Its good to be back mate, Thanks for watching

[@steveg4iwr]

Greetings to you and your family. Good to see plan B worked out well.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Happy new year mate, plan B worked out good in the end thankfully, Cheers

[@chrisstephens6673]

Happy new year Matty, If you have difficulty grinding a trapezoidal threading tool, have a look at the dead simple jig I made for that purpose. Originally designed to be used on a surface grinder but works equally well in a mill using a cup wheel.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Happy new year, I'll check this out mate, much appreciated mate, Cheers

[@MrFactotum]

hi Matty Turned out to be a bigger job than you thought, were there's a will there's always a way great 1st video of 2024 see you next time best wishes Kev (uk)

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Kev, This one took a while longer then first thought but thats pretty common here mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@Michael_CS615]

Keep on keeping on! It WORKS!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Cheers mate

[@zoltannagy1813]

Good to have you back Matty. Hope the scans reveal some good news for you. The job came out real good in the end. Yeah, sometimes things don't go as planned, so Plan B has to be put into effect. Keep the videos coming mate. Cheers.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Its good top be back and I enjoyed the break, Plan B worked out good thankfully, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@ronhatten1692]

I'm glad to see you back. Keeping you in my prayers that you beat your medical condition. Keep up the awesome work and videos.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate, appreciate you watching, Cheers

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Another job in the books. 👍 We have about 6" of snow right now. I can send you some so you can cool off. 😀

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Tom, I prefer the cooler weather personally so I’m happy to swap mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@RB-yq7qv]

Welcome back Matt. Nice save on the nut and shaft. Lets hope it's a great 2024 year

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Its good to be back mate, Cheers

[@65cj55]

All the best for 2024 Matty.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate, Cheers

[@adrianholgeth3208]

Good to see you Matty, Ordinary is great.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate, Cheers

[@Tinman97301]

I was happy to see you posted this morning 👍 nice job as always.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate, Its good to be back, Cheers

[@bostedtap8399]

Great to see you making precision swarf again Matty 👏, lucky you had some suitable bronze, not a good start when free issue isn't any good. Top notch on trapezoidal screw cutting. Great channel donation, ref Dychem. Hope medical results are positive 🙏.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, its good to be back making chips again, the Dykem gift was bloody awesome, ive looked at this stuff for years, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@samrodian919]

G'day Matty, and Happy New Year to you and Becs. There's nothing wrong with the video! Plan B worked out ok mate, and it should do the job as you say for a good while. With that trouble with the trapezoidal thread, I would try a trick that I've done before is to grind up a parallel or just slightly tapered at no more than 20 degrees included, (and having a back rake on it so it will cut well) tool just under the tip width of the trapezoidal one and try running that through the bronze to just under full depth, then centre the trapezoidal tool in the groove and then try running it through to full depth. That gives it a lot better chance not to deflect so much as there's a lot less material to try to remove. I sincerely hope you get good news from your recent PET scan in the next few weeks mate. Cheers from England, Sam

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Sam, ive never ground up a tool like this before and ive never been much good at grinding angles, one day ill have another go at it I think, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@billdoodson4232]

Happy New Year to you and yours Matty, lets hope it's a good one. Nice little job to start the year off with and a good recovery. It's about -5C here at the moment, I think I'd rather have your weather "problems."

[@MattysWorkshop]

Happy new year, the weather's been pretty warm here and funny enough I prefer the cooler weather, feel like a swap for a month or 2 mate?, Cheers

[@goodi1638]

Welcome back Matty hope you had a good brake over Christmas with your family so good to see you back in the shop that layout fluid you can get in Australia looking forward to see more chips made in your shop all the best from my family to yours

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I really enjoyed the break and I needed it, I know you can get DyMark brand here I Australia, ive never seen the Dykem brand here before, I'll have to have another look, Cheers

[@howardosborne8647]

Happy new Year,Matty. Some of those hard bronzes like admiralty bronze and aluminium bronze can be very difficult to single point a thread in/onto. I think carbide insert would be your best bet with that task.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I wish I did have a carbide to do this job, I know for next time, thanks for watching, cheers

[@wrstew1272]

Great to see you making chips again! Please don’t apologize for the camera work, you are doing a great job, and iffn anyone sez something about it not being studio quality tell them that I said to get stuffed! 😂. Really, it’s way more than good, give yourself a pat on the back for the quality work you are getting out.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers

[@alanshomeworkshop]

Enjoyed the video Matty - another good result. An alternative that might have worked for the lead screw is a square thread. It is stronger and more wear resistant than a 60 degree thread form and the cutting tool is easier to grind than for an Acme thread. I had to make one when restoring my T&C grinder and it worked out ok - after I realised that the required thread pitch was 10TPI and not 2.5mm (they are very close)... Cheers.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Alan, I never gave a square thread a thought to be honest, my luck with grinding tools has never been to great, thanks for watching, cheers

[@andysargent4610]

Thanks for sharing this project with us! As usual for you, the result is outstanding, even with the material limitations and the threading setback. I don't know about everyone else, but I am always amazed at the finishes you achieve on your work. I must be some kind of idiot. Try as I might, I don't seem to be able to make anything that looks nearly as nice as your work. Would you consider making a video sharing what you do (and don't do) to turn out these first-class finishes? Materials, tool choices, feeds, speeds - Can you tell us about the magic you use?

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, there’s no magic in getting the finish’s, it’s all about feeds and speeds and insert choice, I’ve had quite a few asking what the trick is, thanks for watching, cheers

[@paulcurtis2779]

So good to see you back. Praying your report from the Scans is all positive. .

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, hopefully I’ll have some news soonish mate, cheers

[@garyc5483]

Great to see you back Matty. Good luck with the scan results. Here's hoping for the best. Nice recovery on the lead screw. ATB regards from the UK

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I get the results in a week or so and fingers crossed the rust converter has done its job but time will tell, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers

[@Warped65er]

Good to see you again Matty.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, sometimes things don’t go to plan but that’s the way it goes mate, appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@wktodd]

It can help to pre-cut a normal V thread then use the acme/trapezoidal cutter as a form tool to shape the flanks

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I never gave that a thought but wish I did mate, appreciate you watching, Cheers

[@pcmfmacs9087]
