Great, informative video. You have a great attention to detail.

Thank you.

[@Vandal_Savage]

Very nicely done. 😊

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thank you.

Amazing stuff. 👍 I have one of those little aluminium Chinese XY tables that came with a mini drill mill I bought and it's absolute rubbish.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Yes, they are not great. I adjusted the gibs and it is a lot better now. There are a few issues with it though. I will probably address those in another video. Thanks for watching.

Drill bits usually have a soft shank so the drill chuck jaws can bite into it. Try to use milling cutter shanks or tap shanks, both are hardened and will get a keener edge that will last much longer.

Thanks for your comments.

Gday John, great results and very interesting, cheers

Thanks Matty.

Very interesting Jon. I'm no woodworker, but always wondered how they did that. Cheers Rob

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks Rob.

Cool project. I'm thinking some really dense desert hardwood would give really crisp details. I've turned mulga wood from the dry areas in south west Queensland that machined like steel.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks Mark. In NZ I think they use Camellia. It has tight grain which produces fine detail in the cuts. Those test pieced were macrocarpa which is too soft for ornamental turning, but just what I had laying around.

If those ornamental turning devices are still made, the manufacturers are not very good at advertising.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Yes, it is hard to find any info on the internet for these devices. Thanks for watching.

Heard about CNC? If not then get educated, if yes then this channel is useless, got it?

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

Second hand manual machines are relatively affordable for those of us who are interested in machining as a hobby. CNC machines are a whole lot more expensive, and very far out of budget for all but the wealthiest of hobby machinists. It doesn't matter how good CNC machines are for those of us who cannot afford them. It's like you saying, on a channel devoted to the ford fiesta: "Have you heard about BMW? If you have, then this channel is useless, got it?"

[@joseeduardobolisfortes]

Not everyone wants to just see the finished work; sometimes, it's better do the things manually and appreciate the time spend with. Think about.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Thanks for your reply, and a good analogy with the cars. There is always going to be some unappreciative people who write ding dong comments.

You skipped the part where this is a hobby machining channel?
