Hey everyone. No I didn’t knurl it. It’s absolutely completely unnecessary on something of this diameter. Knurling where it isn’t absolutely necessary is annoying because it is hard on the fingers and gets dirty. Knurl yours if you like. Me no like. No need to keep commenting on that.

You so smart! You anticipated my comment, sigh, and it was gonna be [one of] my 1st comment (s). Great job. Love your channel! Not a machinist, but my grandfather was an engineer with Martin (before Lockheed!) and had a home shop filled with Craftsman™ machines. I wonder how they'd stack up against affordable Asian machines of today. Sadly he passed long before I had even a clue what machining was... sometimes I get a little misty watching you and thinking, "if I only knew then, what I'm learning now. " 😢 Thanks again

@@mattrahmanI actually did a video on that exact topic a while back. I think it’s in my Absolute Beginner’s series, but I don’t recall for sure. I compare the value for money of a 1965 Bridgeport, a modern Asian machine, and a 1965 Southbend hobby lathe. The TL;DW is that (correcting for inflation) the old Southbend (or Atlas, Craftsman, etc) is about the same price as current Asian machines but actually less well made and vastly fewer features. That’s not to say those old machines aren’t wonderful. They are great, and one should use what one gets the most joy from. But the facts are pretty clear on what you spend and what you get (got).

I have replaced the crank wheel on my mill too and I added a spinner handle as well. Here's a tip for using it going down in Z, when you are cranking down on the crank wheel, use light pressure from your other hand on the larger drilling handle to counteract the spring force. You can turn the crank wheel very smoothly then. As you said, going up is not a problem. Nice video!

Just a thought, and probably more trouble than it’s worth, but would some sort of slide out or flip up/out handle work to increase the effective radius and mechanical advantage to make it better overcome the return spring force for use in boring operations? Or maybe just a spin handle on a bar that could be inserted in the edge of the wheel and held with a little thumb screw. These would obscure the DRO window a bit, but maybe not so much as to be a problem.

Always find your videos interesting... My mill is a Hafco Metalmaster, made in China, and it is surprisingly well made. My fine feed is more off to one side of the quill axis and has a rather nice adjustable-for-zero graduated scale on the hand wheel as is common on lathes. I've had it for some years now and it has proven to be accurate and reliable. It did cost $3500NZ and is now listed at $1000 dollars more (inflation). It could be a bench machine but it came with a stand and coolant system built in which is nice to have.... I plan to plumb that system for the old Boxford Model "A" lathe that sits by the side of it in the shop. The lathe has proper provision for drainage already built in so it should be just a valve or two and some tubing. One of those jobs that need me to find my "round tuit"... :-)

The cheap Asian made machinery has been amazing for the hobbyist, before these machines were available the model engineer normally had to do all their milling on the lathe which would normally be a Myford, Southbend or similar machine and they would usually have had to build most of the tooling as well as there was relatively little available and it was expensive. Currently its a great time to be a home based machinist, we have the Internet for spreading knowledge and information quickly and easily, cost effective imported machinery and tooling, cheap used industrial machinery because of the decline of industry and its move to almost all CNC based.
@johnsjunkyard2 ай бұрын
Cheap milling machines have been around since the late 70's/early 80's at least. I have one from then, many people do. A company called Rong Fu builds them in various guises, RF25, RF30 etc, actually pretty good machines and one my Father acquired for model engineering himself. I believe you can pick up an RF25 nowadays for less than £2k or thereabouts new. Not quite as large as Quinn's, but the table on mine is deeper in the Y axis so allows for more flexibility in hold down options on larger parts like road wheels for traction engines and steam rollers etc. I know these weren't particularly expensive machines to buy new as lots were used in colleges in the 80's and 90's as training machines which is where he got his from (and worked at teaching people how to use them.) I don't mean to be contrary to you for the sake of it, my point is that although they were available the internet has made them far more accessible to a much greater extent to many more people that otherwise would not have had access to, or knowledge of, them and that can only be a good thing for all of us... but they were out there. lol

Love that handle, makes the mill look twice as fancy ;) Regarding Chinese stuff: I lately almost exclusive get that stuff for electronic test and measurement equipment, also at work .. for exactly the same reason. For what that stuff costs, it is plain and simply amazing. Yes, the software and UI tend to be a little bit clunky and not quite as polished than the big western brands .. but they cost a third or even less. And many of the features that are options with the big name brands and tend to double the price are included in the base package. And yes, people using 100k equipment (they didn't pay for, of course) give me a bad time about it. Those brands have learned though .. they now sometimes sell the same thing, with their label stuck to it. I obviously won't name any company here, but anyone who is even remotely in the business knows which brands I'm referring to.
