[@diegovianavillegas3297]

Disagree. NEVER attemp to use an endmill in a drill chuck like in this video. Use a proper endmill chuck. Drill chucks are not designed to work with radial loads that appears during milling. Some day, the mill or the entore chuck will fly away from its arbor...and you don't want to be there if this happens, believe me. Not talking about any kind of precission. You just can't pretend be in this hobby if you are not willing to spend the money in some basic stuff.

[@TinC33]

Diego Viana Villegas true but for small work with endmill i just use basic chuck because it's fastest way, if i mill more i put out the chuch and use mk3 cone for mill i got from 2mm to 20mm.

what a great video. im not planing on making any hydraulic cylinders soon but i really enjoyed your work. the instructions are so clear i think even someone who has never seen a lathe in his life can now make a hydraulic cylinders himself... great work thank you and subscribed

[@jeffpierce8115]

What do you mean boring! This was one of the most interesting videos. I had been wanting to try making an RC hydraulic machine and now this construction video really got me going. I would love to see the same thing and plans for the valve! Again great video.

[@TinC33]

Thanks, i can make valve on a lathe but for the pump i must include my mill into project :)

[@jeffpierce8115]

Go for it. I have a mini mill and I have found a lot of people who have lathe have the mill also.l

[@habiks]

I'm living in apartment building and have a lathe, mill, bandsaw, cnc router, etc in my room :P

[@jeffpierce8115]

I have a question though. I took a quick look at the rotary valves and while there is an O ring around the unit, there is no rubber seal between the ports. How do you keep fluid from going between the brass disc and aluminum body?

I have dreamed of having my own lathe and cutter in the basement for many years now! I am 42 summers old and have previously worked for about 20 years as a cnc operator in industry it would have felt wonderful to get an outlet for their creativity through projects like yours .. respect..you do a great job ...

[@TinC33]

Thanks, do something for yourself and buy a minilathe you can get one like mine (chinese) for about $500

[@jarekmace1536]

Decidedly NOT a boring video. I am a mechanical engineer and built hydraulic shears in a previous job. We often had pistons in the 450mm+ range, but I can say they went together just like yours mostly, especially the seals. Any part stuck out or was forced during assembly would slice a seal then the whole thing had to come apart and be replaced. I enjoyed seeing this video and am looking forward to more like it. Thank you.

[@TinC33]

Thanks, also me work with cylinders, i work in a gray cast steel company, so there are lot of big cylinders, two of them wich push the mould to send is about 400mm diameter, than ther's a few long about 3m leingth...

[@TinC33]

Je englis is my pain it the ass so some special word i just directly translate 😅

[@pavtrimble8062]

@@TinC33 All good mate, you're doing awesome stuff.

[@aserta]

If you don't have a milling machine or CNC you can also put a mill in your lathe's chuck, then install the part you want milled on the tool post holder. A plate is best (like an L profile plate, for example). You won't have an axis, so you have to install the part where you need it to be cut, but, you'll have the option to mill flats, which is more than you had before.

[@TinC33]

aserta true

[@rascallhunter]

To take this a step further, if you mount the L plate directly onto the cross slide, then mount the compound slide to the vertical leg of the L plate, you now have your third axis. Best bet if you are using an angle plate (L plate), if there is going to be any heavy milling done, you may want to brace it to keep the vertical face perpendicular to the lathe spindle. An alternative is to find a milling attachment for your lathe (Taig and Sherline both sell such attachments for their lathes, other manufacturers may as well). This is what I have for my Taig lathe.

[@Rimrock300]

Nice instructions on how to construct a basic hydraulic cylinder for RC models. If one have the possibility, I advice to put 2 off o-rings on the rod. The outer o-ring will stop small bits of sand, then the inner o-ring will last longer.

[@TinC33]

Rimrock300 yes, i mean to mention that, but... Also can be put double sealing on piston, but loose abou 2mm working area.

[@tefocharlesmodise9937]

[@BuhdaPunk]

Something you can try when doing final cosmetics . When sanding the primer or final color, swipe a few of the wife's multi grit finger nail files. The ones that have 4-5 different grits on one stick. Use the Medium, Fine, and Polish grits. I use them wet and/or Dry. wet for final polish stage. I have even glued the fingernail files to the head or disposable electric toothbrushes after removing the bristles. Oral B work great especially small parts like these cylinders.

I also liked how you had a little cross-section view of the part you were making down in the corner of the screen, so we could understand what the final part looked like while it was being made. Many KZbin machinist make the mistake of just filming what they are doing, without telling viewers what they are thinking, before and during the part making. Good job!

[@exhempknight]

This is fantastic. Very informative, and also entertaining. You do very good work. One thing... Please get a set of collets to hold your end mills. Milling with a drill chuck is at best inaccurate, and at worst, very dangerous. That chuck isn't meant for the lateral forces, and there's a good chance it'll pop off the arbor and go flying across your shop!

[@TinC33]

Chris Santacroce that's true, i use collet when milling more, but for small milling operation till 10mm mill i use chuck without a problem, it's just much faster.

@@TinC33 You have given me inspiration to buy a lathe and some necessary tools, I am competent with them and love both to use the tools and to create small details. I built a Tamiya Knight Hauler and Flat bed trailer and recently bought the Tamiya tipper and a hydraulic system for it, I love the idea of using hydraulic power, but it is sooo expensive .. but the reality of making our own is in principal so simple.. assuming you have the tools and of course the right design data, well done for your precision and base design, the numbers have to be created .. again well done .. I want to build some trailers from scratch including a tipper with full hydraulics and other things to utilise hydraulics, but the control blocks are still necessary of course, unless you also have some designs, but that is a bit more precise due to size I guess.
