Warco WM16B Multi purpose Quill plate part 1

A useful improvement and adaption to my new Warco WM16B mill

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Jim Dedmon is a very kind-hearted and generous guy - he sent me a couple oil pots and some acid brushes a while ago. As for this plate you're making, you're getting a great surface finish on it, looks very good!

[@johncrea9395]

Ade Now get a low profile 3 jaw chuck to go on the rotary table and you will be ready to do round stock easily in the mill on the rotary table. I had a project where I needed 20 3/4 in diameter rod pieces, with 6 equally spaced holes round the edge of one end. Would have be a pain doing this over and over again in the mill vise, but once the rotary table and vise were setup, it was a piece of cake As always, enjoy your videos John

[@johncrea9395]

Ade quick tip on centering the rotary table. Mine has a MT3 hole in the center, however, get a piece of dowel/etc the size of the hole, put that into a collet and then lower down into the hole in the rotary table, clamp down and for many jobs it is more than accurate enough as is. Otherwise, once there you can indicate to the hole in the rotary table will usually find it very close to right on John

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Awesome result Ade - looks like a bought one. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I loved the rotary table movements and so on - if you ever want to do a general rotary table lesson, I'm all ears (and eyes)! Cheers, Craig

I envy you your great little workshop , i am a Toolmaker of 40 yrs standing and would love to do a bit for myself one day and do it properly instead of to someone elses design and budget,one day perhaps , great videos.

[@ade63dug]

We toolmakers have so much to offer to the youth and everyone . get it done pal . Cheers Ade.

[@JamesDedmon]

I’m glad the cups arrived safely, It seems like we do share quite a few mutual friends according to your board. I’m amazed what you gentlemen can accomplish in small spaces in the UK. Of course I’m probably am a odd duck here because I use a smaller building for a shop. The project looks good, great workmanship

[@ade63dug]

Thank you so much for everything Jim . i am sure they will feature a lot going forward. Cheers Ade.

[@Hui9697]

Hi Ade, If you can get yer hands on a couple of decent magnets like radio speakers etc. Stick one into the oil pots and it stays put on the machine for interrupted cuts and wont's fall off.

[@brucewilliams6292]

Perfect! After getting the clamps for the vise done following your video, the next thing I need is a depth stop. I sincerely appreciate the videos. All the Best Abe.

[@ade63dug]

You are very welcome Bruce. Thanks for watching Ade.

[@sparkiekosten5902]

That finish is so clean! Keep up the good work I'm in Aussie land.....LEST WE FORGET!

[@terrycannon570]

Excellent workmanship Ade. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Beautiful work Ade! 👍🏼

[@ianboyd9723]

There’s a nice little app for working out angles it’s called “Right Angle” fill any of the two boxes and it gives you all the other missing ones, I use it often.

[@Machine_NZ]

Hi Ade, Nice work on the rotary table and great finish. Take care and stay safe. Regards Kevin

[@ade63dug]

Thanks, you too!

[@eyuptony]

Great manual machining video demonstration using the rotary table. Big improvement to your mill you mill Ade. Looking forward to the follow on. Tony

[@stephentayler1414]

Hi Ade Nice project,, I made something similar for my mill , but it was for a LED ring light for around the quill, which has made a big difference to the visibility on the machine. Lighting units were about £12 a pair if I remember rightly on ebay and I already had the material to make the mount. I also made a plate similar to the one you have recently made for my rotary table, which has proved useful. I made mine out of a round plate that started out square :) Look forward to seeing your concluding video. Stay well m8. Like you I am on lock-down to so the shed helps keep me sane lol.

[@bostedtap8399]

Quill plate looking good. Great vlog, thanks for sharing and stay safe all.

[@jamesmacrae8161]

looking very good there ade! lovely workmanship there with no cnc you have done yourself a good job and I cant wait to see the rest off the job come through!

[@paulcampbell5202]

Dear Ade If you are going to get a mist type unit for your mill, may I suggest looking at James Kilroy's videos on building one. He produces a set up that unlike purchased "mister" products does not produce that fog of coolant that is very unhealthy to inhale. It uses small amounts of coolant and it comes out in small drops rather than a fine mist that you will end up breathing in. I built one and it uses compressed air to pressurize the coolant bottle, but also a direct jet of air to the nozzle so you can vary each. Using just the straight air is often fine for slotting as it blows the swarf away so you don't re-cut the chips and helps to cool the cutter bearing in mind we are not operating at "industrial" speeds and feeds". Hope that may be helpful. Paul

[@ade63dug]

Thanks Paul . i will check it out .

[@RagsdaleCreek]

Great project Adrian. I made one of those for my small Harbor Freight drill press. God bless and stay safe!

[@chuirios365]

Nice build! I've got to make one for my bench mill.

[@tinker5349]

Hi, interesting video thanks for sharing your idea and method for machining the part.

[@markmawson1]

You need to get yourself a couple of neodymium magnets and put one in the bottom of each spill pot and that'll stp them being knocked over accidently when popped on the lathe gearbox or carriage and the milling machine bed.

[@oldschoolengineer58]

I like the new project and rotary table, great content thanks for sharing Ade

[@ade63dug]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joeduda8507]

Thanks for another Excellent video please keep them coming

[@ade63dug]

You bet

[@billofalltrades1468]

Outstanding! I can't wait to see what's next.

[@ade63dug]

More to come!

[@delstone1919]

As usual a nice bit of work, Ade. Keep it up and stay safe.

[@ade63dug]

Thanks, you too!

[@nikond90ful1]

Thanks for the video Ade. Keep safe and stay well.

[@ade63dug]

Thanks, you too!

[@davescreations7793]

Ade that tool got a work out wow I think you did a great job today you know what would help you get the steering wheel attachment for your millingmachine

[@ade63dug]

Yes. any idea where to get one? Cheers Ade.

[@matspatpc]

You need to make one of Stefan's/Emma's DTI holders... If I can, you can too! ;)

[@ade63dug]

I am looking at getting a co-axial one . but it is a great thing , Cheers Ade.

[@billmaguire6216]

Hi Ade, For your stop could you use one of those after market Bridgeport style threaded pinch stop. You know one would pinch it open and place it up or down on the threaded shaft. Just a thought. Thank you for sharing learning lots.

[@Mexmanix]

Nice project Ade; I have a WM16 mill which could do with a depth stop as well but it doesn't have such a thick spindle collar on as yours so will have to use suitable thickness aluminium. As an aside; please use the wooden handle of your brush to point out particular items, your fingers are too close to the cutter for my liking.

[@mikebashford8198]

I once knew a guy who used a tobacco pipe to point at things. Didn't smoke, just used it as a pointer.

[@ade63dug]

The camera gives a strange prospective to this . i am actually a mile away , but i know what you are saying . Cheers Ade.

[@Steviegtr52]

I love your posts. Can you talk about the type of cutters you use, HSS carbide etc & the speeds you use . Information to the likes of an amateur.

[@robvanbeusekom]

Thanks for the video Ade 👍🏻😎

[@ade63dug]

No problem 👍

[@woodster2594]

Great video as always Ade

[@richardlussier2812]

Great job Ade, as usual ... new subscriber here and a new metal enthousiast from Québec Canada. I have a question here, Could that part be possibly made of acetal ?

[@jrgenneess762]

I like the oil cups , it is time to change soft-drink cane

[@fredjohnson6264]

good job Ade really enjoy you videos keep up the good work can you tell me where you get you metal from as i have trouble finding sum in Hereford where i live all the best

[@ade63dug]

Droitwich Aluminium on ebay , very good service also . Cheers Ade.

[@davescreations7793]

Ade is there a chance I could get one of your stickers I are in a wheelchair and I turn in a lathe like you did in the start of your videos I been watching your videos for almost as long as you have been posting them I learn a lot from them and you so thanks very much for what you do

[@ade63dug]

Hi Dave send me an email with your postal details and job is done . Cheers Ade.

[@andrewparham997]

Good job ade I like you oil can in the background did You make it??

[@andyb7963]

NonCopyrightMusic is a chynese bot, used to be called Tom, so ignore it, always asks the same question

[@garyc5483]

Yes lots of these bots on YT now. I always report them as unwanted spam etc to YT. The other s usually ask if you want to be YT friends. regards

[@incubatork]

Hi ade, great finish on the circumfereces what make is the end mill, I need to invest in some new cutters as till now i just got some chineese ones for practice, I'd rather bust a cheap one instead of a decent carbide or hss one, my mill is similar to yours only blue 1000w or 1 1/3 hp in old money so will be fine with the same cutters/end mills.

[@terryuren9170]

Hi Ades I bough myself a milling WM16B but the weight 130kg lifed up HOW did you lifted it into you shed i would to KNOW !!! I am having trouble putting the milling up on the stand thank Terry

[@DrRogB]

Open Ades's video page and go back to when he first got it. He took it apart. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqi2k52Crtupjqs

[@SgtCude59]

wow that is the old way of measuring the ID

[@nicholasviney5975]

how are you finding the wm16, if you had the extra money would you have got the wm18 with a bit of extra grunt

[@ade63dug]

The WM16B was as big as would fit . I would have a Bridgeport if this was no problem . Cheers Ade.

[@jim69james84]

Siw Mae Ade, can you kindly give a fellow welshman some advice on Warco Mill plz? I see you have the WM16B, firstly what is the advantage of belt drive vs gear drive? Secondly would you know the diff between the WM18 + GH18? I presume they are both gear driven but whats diff? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Diolch yn fawr

[@DrRogB]

Belts can be a bit quieter. The main difference between the WM18 and GH18 is the variable speed drive. The Gear head may be a bit more robust, including in its base and column, which is like the 16B. Both are big machines, see the internet videos. I saw a WM18B the other day, at the showroom, very impressive but far too big for my availiable space.

[@crozwayne]

Hi Ade, Youre based in wales? same as me!

[@samrodian919]

Another nice project in the works Ade I'm also in the UK where did you get the ally plate from and if it isn't an impertinent question how much is. 150 x 150 x 20 mm ally plate cost now? Best wishes to you and your f@mily and stay safe mate.

[@ade63dug]

Droitwich Aluminium on ebay , I think two for under £25. i use them for lots and quick service also . Cheers Ade.

[@samrodian919]

ADES WORKSHOP cheers for that info Ade

[@tonyscott8257]

Hi, is that the rotary table table from warco?

[@ade63dug]

no i got it from ebay . maybe soba make . not sure . made in india , pretty good when i set it right . cheers Ade.

[@matspatpc]

I've got one of the same, came from a company called Assorts in India, and is called HV6. I'm fairly sure RDG tools sell the same one as well.

[@tonyscott8257]

@@matspatpc thanks. I will look into getting one soon

[@frankjames4573]

ADE... Just small request. Could you move next door to me! Detached 4 bed bungalow on about 1/3 of an acre, so you could get a mammoth workshop on that plot... Give it some thought, speak to her, who must be obeyed, get her to think it's a brilliant idea! Frank...

[@deanfranks8242]

split cotters on your stop. "please" not nuts and bolts

[@Steviegtr52]

oops you just did. Sorry.

[@jonsworkshop]

Nice job Ade, rotary table appears to be doing the job despite the strange numbering. The Warco is behaving too, good metal removal rates and appears to be very rigid for a mill of this size and configuration. Looking forward to the next video. Jon
