`Max I love these set up videos. I've said it a million times "Anyone can make chips" I always want to see how to make them in the correct places. I really do like the simple but brilliant way of shimming and then removing the shims to control the offset. I will be back to see part #2. Thanks for passing along your knowledge.

Love your work Max. Everyone thinks machining is easy. However, what they don’t realise is that’s only part of it. Work holding, set up, and tooling is where the real work and knowledge comes in to play. I bet you can’t wait to get that horizontal boring machine up and running. Cheers Aaron

Hi Max, nice setup using the fixture plate and leveling feet. I see a lot of lathes with Tee slots milled in the cross slide but your setup is more rigid bolting directly to the saddle but requiring more setup without the cross slide adjustment. Used to watch my mate set up a job on the big Richards HBM, took him hours for a short machining operation. Nice to have a portable line boring machine like Kurtis at CEE.
@swanvalleymachineshop2 жыл бұрын
It's a quick set up in the lathe for that small sort of job . The portable machines cost a fortune so it will be good to have the big mill & hbm running . 👍
@simpleman2832 жыл бұрын
I can see why machining work cost so much, the $ is in the setup. Great video 👍👍 I was thinking the whole time, holes in the adjusters for a spanner wrench would be a good thing, then you said, you should have put holes in them & use a pin to rotate them, really made me feel like I am learning. edit: I'm looking forward to part 2. It'll be good to see the tailstock chuck in operation.

Great setup, Max. When I rebuilt my two-cylinder John Deere 620 engine about 20 years ago neither of the local engine shops could handle the 5-1/2" bore to the ~12" depth required. I set the block up on the cross slide of my TOS lathe, which fortunately has t-slots. Setup was all with shims, and there would not have been room for a fixture plate such as yours. Very fiddley setup that took quite a while, but it worked a treat. Wish I had pictures of that setup.
