Keyway cutting tool for the Mini Lathe - Part 1

[@Vinlaell]

I'm proud of this being my first machining channel that I subscribed to when I first started watching it on KZbin months ago and I bought myself a full set of gear lathe Mill tooling subscribed to tons of different channels but this one was my first and I can tell it's going places

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I really do appreciate your support!

[@WheatMillington]

Love this channel. I love the innovative ways you use your lathe and tools, very inspiring. Looking forward to the finished product.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate that!

[@muskokaliving2072]

Looking forward to the finished product. As a tool & die maker I'd just like to suggest slowing down the speed and increasing the feed when reaming. Speeds and feeds for reaming are very different from drilling. Thanks for the videos.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you very much for your comment and hint on reaming. It felt like it needed a lot of force to press the reamer in so I did it very slowly. But obviously that wasn't the right way :)

[@rogerdeane3608]

As usual, a piece of work done to perfection. Thumbs up.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you very much! I really do appreciate that.

[@robsonmarinho6143]

my brother I don't know where all that intelligence of yours comes from, I can only tell you that I'm addicted to your videos on your channel, a hail to you here from a Brazilian who admires you and your works a lot🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I really do appreciate it and thanks for your support!

[@trashes_to_treasures]

Dang, that is more than 3 signs of you being in Germany in this video… Your channel kept on popping up when I was binge watching TOT for the 23rd time, so I thought I gave it a chance. Wasn’t disappointed. So, all in all: Glückwunsch zum Kanal und natürlich zur Berg&Schmid! Großartiges kleines Maschinchen ☺️ Grüße aus Berlin 🙋

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Haha :D, vielen Dank! Freut mich, wenn es gefällt! :)

[@JamesBitz]

Just found this channel. I have the same lathe, and now I'm going to be very busy for the next few weeks! 😎

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

If you want, you have a lot to do now :)

[@homemadetools]

Good work as always. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Congratulations on the bandsaw! It makes a world of difference 🤗 keep up the great stuff 🥳

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, the bandsaw is incredible useful :)

[@rickpalechuk4411]

I think you should do the bearing swap in the headstock. I did mine and it really was a night and day difference. Congrats on the new machine, that was very generous. Look forward to more content, Cheers

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. To change the headstock bearings is definitely on my list to do in the future. I have some ideas what to change also when putting out the lathe spindle and disassembling the headstock.

[@daveys]

Bandsaws are awesome! Makes these things much easier.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Yes, I'm really glad now to have one in the shop.

[@daveys]

@@WeCanDoThatBetter - I like mine for sure. I never could cut in a straight line!

[@BITTYBOY121]

Superb work ! - 10/10 - Can't wait to checkout Part 2 ! - This is a very useful tool. 👍 👍 👍

[@angelramos-2005]

This is better than better.I just subscribed.Thank you.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate that.

[@DrTimmay]

The feels when the bar wiggle accelerates in frustration after the boring op... Been there, done that, _so_ many times

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Haha :D Oh yes, it was so disgusting! ;) All the effort I put into implodes to scrap:)

[@wizrom3046]

Awesome! Cant wait for part 2. Sorry about the reamer incident, we've all done that. Its hard to get a bushing to have a perfect sized bore... 🤔🙂

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you! Yes, it was really disappointing with the reamer. But I managed to bring the new bushing to close tolerances in part 2.

[@andre2028]

Super, ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, was die kleine Proxxon schafft ;-)

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Dankeschön :) Ja, man kann schon gut damit arbeiten. Die Halterung des Fräskopfes scheint mir der schwächste Punkt zu sein. Da werd ich vllt mal nachbessern müssen.

[@daveys]

I’m well impressed with what you produce on your lathe. Sure, a milling machine would probably be easier, but only having one tool makes you think about minimising setups, so it’s probably good practice!

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you a lot!

[@mrwolsy3696]

The 'sino' straight flute reamers killed me also, try to find the reverse helix type, the negative helix helps keep it centered.

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rc166honda]

Fascinating, subscribed 😁

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you very much! And welcome ;)

[@FaskaRestoration]

Kleine Tipps fürs Reiben: -Viel mehr KSS am besten sogar beim Reiben noch mehr damit die Spähne herausgewaschen werden. - Mehr Vorschub, sonst wird die Reibung zu groß. -Nie in der Bohrung ausschalten und herausziehen, sondern doppelt so schnell wie du hereingefahren bist wieder herausfahren -Schnittdaten sind beim Reiben auch sehr wichtig.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Vielen Dank für die Tips! Da hab ich ja einiges nicht beachtet :) Das werd ich beim nächsten Mal berücksichtigen. Hab schon etwas doof geschaut, als die Bohrung plötzlich 2/10 größer rauskam :/

[@vincentdevries8858]

@@WeCanDoThatBetter ich kann noch hinzufügen das zur verhinderung vom schneidenaufbau bei alu ethanol als kss benutzt werden kann. Ausschließlich bei alu. Und ja, bei alu schmiert auch ethanol. Krigste billig beim Action. Zudem wird messing grundsätzlich trocken bearbeitet ,auch gerieben.

[@FaskaRestoration]

@@vincentdevries8858Ra gebe ich dir vollkommen Recht. Spiritus ist auch super.

[@FaskaRestoration]

@@WeCanDoThatBetter Da habe ich schon öfters meine Probleme gehabt. Ich habe es sogar z.B. mal geschafft, per Hand ein Sechseck zu Reiben 😅. Das wichtigste sind wirklich die Schnittdatenund. Vf kann man etwas variieren aber der VC muss für den Werkstoff passen.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

@@vincentdevries8858 Ah, dann hätte ich das Öl also schonmal weglassen sollen..

[@zooobidooo]

Great work 🙃

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you! :)

[@kendonahve924]

Very interesting !!

[@d1rty1oser]

Sehr nützliches Tool wenn man Keilriemenräder selbst drehen oder anpassen muss. Wird es davon auch Zeichnungen zum Nachbauen geben?

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Gute Erinnerung. Ja, ich versuche auch davon Pläne zu machen. Sie werden dann auf der Patreon Seite auftauchen.

[@plang42]

Oh I keep forgetting to suggest that you should get yourself a quick change tool post (a high end one, not the super cheap ones). Plus lots of tool holders. I went mad and bought 20, yes 20! Now every lathe cutting tool I own has a holder (plus 4 spare ones for future tools). No shimming or adjustments needed once set up 👍

[@jimsvideos7201]

I do look forward to seeing this come togther; I could certainly use one myself. If I may ask, what happened with that oversize bore? Was the reamer a bigger size than the shaft?

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thanks for your comment! I don't know it exactly. The reamer was for a 18mm h7 hole. That means, it should produce a very tight tolerance hole. But obviously something in the process went wrong. Perhaps the tailstock with the reamer wasn't aligned properly or I hadn't the right speeds and feeds for cutting. Perhaps using oil for lubricaton wasn't right. I don't know it really ...:)

[@zsolta1639]

​@@WeCanDoThatBetterMay be, it is a hand-reamer..

[@karlbeckmann8865]

Das mit der Drehmaschine als Fräsumbau ist eine sehr coole Idee :) Das könnte ich auch mal versuchen, umzusetzen aber die Materialpreise sind so hoch, da kommt man in der Ausbildung dann nicht hinterher. Schade eigentlich. Bisschen neidisch auf die Proxxon, ich will auch eine Fräsmaschine haben :D

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

:) Ja, dieser kleine Frässupport ist praktisch, wenn man keine andere Möglichkeit zum fräsen hat. Allerdings ist das Teil etwas lieblos gemacht und nicht super stabil. Besser als garnichts, ist es auf jeden Fall :) Und die Fräse war einfach ein glücklicher Zufall und unglaubliches Geschenk :)

[@plang42]

You need to get a coolant sprayer on your bandsaw as it make your blades last a lot longer 👍

[@قدسيا]

Your channel is wonderful and distinctive .. so I hope to activate the Arabic language for translation. I am a good follower of the channel and I learn a lot from you. Thank you and I always wait for your new

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Thank you very much for your kind comment!

[@orion7353]

Where did you buy the milling attachment for the lathe? Or did you make it? 🤔 Would like one myself now

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Hi, I bought it on the used market. But you can get it on ebay for example. It comes from india and is very poorly made but anyway helpful :)

[@michaelhallas6450]

What brand is that mini saw ?

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

It is from Berg&Schmid, a german saw manufacturer. I put the link in the video discription.

[@michaelhallas6450]

Thank you

[@mftmachining]

Alter Schwede, wie hast du denn das geschafft mit der Reibahle? War das ne H14? Mit einer H7 oder 8 schaffst du das nicht.....da kriegst du Nennmaß plus 12µ im schlimmsten Fall. 200µ mehr ist schon heftig.

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Ja sehr gute Frage. Das war ne H7 Reibahle, irgendwas ging gehörig schief... :)

[@gillywild]

Sitzt, wackelt und hat Luft ;)

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

haha :D Ja, leider zu viel:) Dachte ich dreh ab, als die Bohrung plötzlich 2/10 größer war als geplant.

[@Canajaf]

For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21
