What a great little table and quite accurate considering the material. Ive had absolute horrible experiences with cold rolled! Did you previously work as a machinist or tool/die maker? You seem to have quite the experience and I can see you're using a lot of the same "hacks" that I and my coworkers use to make setups etc easier 😄 I added my email in a comment on your latest video in the "Community" section on your channel. Im not sure if you get a notification from youtube when comments are added there but now you know 🙂

Thank you! I try to keep the bananas out. More than 50 years ago I did an instrument maker training. But, as it sometimes goes, my career was in another area: information technology. As a hobby I have always cherished the field.

Hello Michel nice work and very good result, given using a Proxxon mill. I can recommend "fixture plates", either bolted on top of a t-slot one or even as a replacement. Nowadays, I like them better than t-slot ones. You can leave them bigger than the travel/work envelope, so that your clamps can be set outside of the working space leaving more workable space.

When you wrote "That button is loose", I was horrified thinking you meant one of the dovetail screws, but was later relieved upon seeing the loosened button on your shirt. 😂😂😂

Maybe there is a screw loose here, but not in those dovetails 😉

Unfortunately, this Series II does not have subtitles turned on. It's a great shame. With Building a Micro Mill part I, it is functional and thus one does not get confused. But I have to commend you for these very inspiring videos. Very nice work.

I honestly have no idea why KZbin refuses so now and then to provide automatic subtitles for my videos. But I fixed this one after some fiddling.

@@Michel-Uphoff I thank you very much, but unfortunately the subtitles are also missing for parts V and VI. It is very nice work and I admire your precision. I wish you much success in work and life and thank you once again. 👌 👍

It's a pity that subtitles for translation are not set everywhere. Nice work and very inspiring. Thanks for the videos.

@yelims20 3 ай бұрын

Nice work :) Did you normalize that CRS prior to machining? Hardened, after machining, A-2 would be the ticket...

@Michel-Uphoff 3 ай бұрын

As I told in the video, that was not possible because of the size of the parts and my small oven. Yes, better steel would have been nice, but in this country you can't get it in small quantities. A2 is too hard to machine for my small machines.

Dear Michel, what are the black pads you put down on the workbench to do all your filing on? Thank you and awesome series yet again!

@Michel-Uphoff 2 ай бұрын

Google for Anti Slip Pads or Sticky Gel Pads. Very convenient when clamping in a vise is a problem. When they loose their stickyness, just rinse them with some water (maybe add a little soap), dry them and they glue your steel to the table again.

whats holding the strips on after you milled the screw heads away? Did I miss something? Awesome project, following along closely! Cheers

@Michel-Uphoff 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! 🙂 Those bolts are still there, but the top has been milled flat. You can hardly see them anymore (except for the hexagon): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSQeYuNn69qZq8si=M-1DHO8eTwmI5N-_&t=1125

Having done neither, I'm interested to know why you choose to use dovetails over linear guides. Is there a reason apart from you enjoy the machining? Thanks for another great video.

@Michel-Uphoff 3 ай бұрын

Costs and size are two important factors, and I can trim away any slack with gibs. Furthermore, I doubt if small lineair guides are that rigid. Indeed, I certainly don't mind machining.

@paulbyerlee2529 3 ай бұрын

Will you be using turcite on the dovetails or can you get away with cold rolled steel as a running surface?

@Michel-Uphoff 3 ай бұрын

I hope so. If I keep those surfaces smooth, clean and well lubricated it should do. But I'm also pondering about the possible advantages of glued on thin bronze strips at one side of the ways. Turcite is nice stuff, but it is more intended to restore worn, uneven ways.
