Now this is the kind of KZbin machining channel I love watching! No shilling of products, no tiresome machine of nuts and bolts, and no boring steam engine build--just interesting projects with a practical purpose.

I found this video on my suggested feed, and I'm glad I did. I love this build series just as much as I love watching TOT, Blondiehacks, Mr.Pete, and the rest of the usual suspects. I'm a big metal head, but the classical instrumentals in these are perfect for the style of video and I find myself looking forward to them ( just as much as I look forward to you explaining your process haha). Very well done so far. Thank you for your efforts

Good evening, first of all, thank you for your excellent videos. I like the way you work in terms of machining, measuring, calculating, being precise and eliminating errors as much as possible. For the last few days i followed your videos about improvement of the Proxxon milling machine and lathe, lately coming to this "DIY milling machine" series. As a former machinist i really enjoy the way you work through this project. As constructive critism (not really worth it) in my experience: If you do dovetails with adjustable bronze/brass sliders, some decent wavy groves which are connected to the adjustment screws are good for a little extra amount of oil reservoir (hand sliced will do it). It helps to prevent a consistant lubrication of the sliders, despite this, maintenance have to be done :P By the way: I usually don't listen to classical music, but the longer i watch your videos, the more i enjoy it. Fit's really good to the videos and the overall "envoirment". Keep it up!

Thanks for the comment and the oil retention tip! I am even happier with your reaction regarding the classical music. I know that there are viewers who do not like it at all. I think some would rather hear machine sounds, or the monotonous continuous mumbling of a creator telling twice or more what you already see, or they rather listen to a ripping guitar and pounding bass. But fortunately there are also viewers who, like you, see this differently. Great!

Также очень хочется похвалить ваш английский. Смотрю вас без субтитров и всё понятно. А вот почему не понятно британцев мне непонятно. 😊

My mill and lathe weigh 1tonne each I'm impressed with the work you do on such small machines. 12 microns of backlash is ten times better than the cross slide on my lathe.

I am following your build videos, they are great! What I was wondering watching the mini mill build is why you didn't use cast iron for the table, the saddle and so on. Cast iron can be scraped to very precise tolerances.

Ooh... that might explain why there was no 'scraping in' of the ways... I'm not a Machinist or a metal worker of any sort but I've watched quite a lot of people on KZbin who are and the scraping thing seems to be quite popular. I've watched all four of this build series so far and it wasn't until the last minute or so when it occurred to me that no scraping had happened and yet there was an astonishing level of accuracy 😂
@Michel-Uphoff
@Michel-Uphoff 3 ай бұрын
@@Vandal_Savage The surfaces of the dovetails are about 7 mm wide. That is almost impossible to scrape. Apart from that, scraping is hardly done nowadays with new machines. The machining can be very precise nowadays. Scraping is currently mainly the domain of restorers of larger machines. And of course, every toolmaker has a good set of files. You can do a lot more with them than you would think at first glance.

Am I missing something? Or are you referring to his ff500? If so, then shortly explained: "Big" problem with that machine is the low rpm. It's great for medium sized cutters but you just can't really use smaller than 2mm bits on it. Max rpm is only 4k rpm afaik

Ive watched a couple of the videos on the build and I would say If it was done all over again I'd use linear rails instead of the dovetails.
@TheBakafish
@TheBakafish 3 ай бұрын
Dovetails are much lower profile, easier to build, and cheaper. Linear rails are not nearly as space efficient or rigid in the sizes he is dealing with. There are more esoteric solutions, cross roller guides and such, but don't underestimate the accuracy of a well scraped dovetail.

Hello thanks for sharing your video with us. Ihave a question:? Why didn't you use cast iron? That’s means steel is better than cast iron for milling table? Ween yes please let me know and also say me why. Thanks Im watching your videos from Austria 🇦🇹 Best regards sina

@Michel-Uphoff 2 ай бұрын
The main reason I didn't use cast iron is that it's not available here in good quality in small and manageable dimensions. In addition, working with grey cast iron is a very dirty job and I don't like all that nasty dust at all.

@@sinadaneshkhah8537 That depends on the purpose, but certainly also on the quality of the cast iron. A good quality gray cast iron is fine for the base, the table and the saddle. But for the column it is unsuitable, unless you make the column much heavier. Cast iron can withstand much less tensile forces than steel, and it is more brittle. One of the advantages of cast iron is its vibration-damping property. It is a lot cheaper than steel, a more complex shape is of course the easiest to cast.
