This channel is an absolute pleasure to watch. Not sure why it’s taken me this long to find it. Thanks for the commentary. It makes it a fantastic learning experience.

Thanks Sanjay . Much appreciated .

I've really enjoyed the videos and learned how much I don't know about machine shop work! I'm looking forward to receiving my adjuster sometime soon - Ian tells me it's on the way from Australia to the US as of last weekend. Thank you for the care you've put into their creation!

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks Andrew .

I got here on a random recommendation, although I follow recognize a few names from comments and stickers. Thank you for all the tips; the high quality of the parts tell me everything I need to know about their validity.

Thanks Jim . Cheers .

Absolutely brilliant Max, I never doubted you for this project. All 10 have come up a treat, assembled and ready to ship to their new X31 Robland homes this coming week. I cannot thank you enough on behalf of all the members of the Robland K26 & X31 Owners / Users Group Facebook page who will be the new owners of these fine pieces of engineering for many years to come. They will save a lot of time & frustration setting accurate blade heights quickly and precisely, something the original handles could never do. Your practical approach to modifying the original design to cure interference fit issues was sincerely appreciated. I couldn’t be happier and would heartily recommend your work to any prospective clients. Lastly, the fact that you film and publish the process also, means that the new owners can get an appreciation of the work and skill that goes into the manufacture of these machine parts. I’ll try and add a link to a short video of the adjuster fitted to the Robland X31 so that any of your subscribers and viewers who are interested, can see the adjuster in action on the machine they fit to just to complete the series and make sense of this tools purpose. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmtqp2lgJdgjtU 👍👍👍🇦🇺

Hello mate - you don’t seem to have a worry in the world - you’re a marvellous machinist and happy go lucky as you like - what’s the secret - what are we all missing - can you share your take on life. I m not being silly I really admire your no nonsense nothing is too hard approach. Cheers

Hi Max, I’ve just watched the other four videos in this series. Yes I know I watched the last one first but it’s how I found your channel 😂 I just wanted to say thanks for the great videos I’ve learned a lot from these and I’ve learned how to hold parts better and how to use my mill more efficiently. I’m looking forward to going back through your videos mate. Keep up the great work 👍

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. The way you approach your work is highly insightful. I particularly liked seeing you cut the chuck jaws to ensure a clean fit up on the bar stock once finished. Subscribed and liked. Kudos sir, kudos.

Thanks .

[@DudleyToolwright]

Great bunch of tips. I would need a second clamp kit to pull of that really interesting clamp arrangement you used as a stop. I always wondered if a second kit wouldn't be a good idea. I wasn't aware of the issue with bottoming out a reamer. Good one, that. I was thinking mill for the length cut on the bars as well. I guess I'm learning.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Hi Rob , second clamping kits always come in handy . I will email you about the roller set up . Cheers .

[@bobvines00]

Max, thank you for making machining videos like this where you explain everything very clearly. I learn something from every video. This has been an interesting series! I've noted that you use a lot of WD-40, at least when cutting aluminum/aluminium. Have you considered buying the equivalent of a gallon can of WD-40 and an industrial-quality spray bottle? I think you'd save a lot of $$ if you did.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

I should do that with the WD . Cheers .

[@davesalzer3220]

Good series Max. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to the cutter grinder lessons coming up. I bought the Shars unit after seeing the video that Robyn did, but I need help. Thanks again.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Hopefully you will get something out of it . Is the one you have like a D bit grinder or conventional T&C grinder .

[@macsmachine2609]

Yes, I’ve got the d bit grinder so just realized that’s not what you’re talking about. After watching you, that’ll probably be another tool I’ll have to have. 😂

Thanks Max, there's been some great tips throughout this series. Curious to know if you now dedicate those soft jaws for the 3 jaw chuck solely to this job for repeat work & buy new ones for other jobs? regards Colin

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

It is best to keep them , as some can be used for other jobs with out modification . When i make a set of jaw blanks , i make a few as i am already set up for the operation . Cheers .

Thanks for bothering to explain your methods, lots of gems there. Looking forward to seeing how you grind tools, most of the manuals are not good for the inexperienced and seeing it done with your instructions will be helpful

Do my ears deceive me? "quicker and faster than a lathe", Yeah ok it probably is. lol. But my mate Galileo ( I have been here a few times before), when I was making some bits for his teleroscoper ( real weird bugger, thought he could see what he called planets orbiting the stars), didn't have a milling machine so we had to make do with a LATHE.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Your ears heard right ! 👍

[@vettepicking]

Something thats saves a mess and money. Use a Oil cup/acid brush and buy wd40 in a gallon jug. I add some thick oil so its not so runny

[@bostedtap8399]

@@swanvalleymachineshop I think the reason that many use WD40 for aluminium, is that many standard Suphur based and with added Chloride stain non-ferrous material. Parrafin/Kerosene was the metalworking fluid of choice before it was realised it wasn't the best to health etc. WD40 is also easy to clean up, and aids cleaning of machines. Regards John.
