I enjoy hobby engineering and steam model making, for my machining I use a Myford Super 7 Lathe - a warco mini Chinese lathe and a Chester hobby mill. I am based in Norfolk, England. My workshop is half of a single car garage. My lathe projects are usually made as I require them for my hobby.

Very nice work sir. Can’t wait to see the finished engine. I’m sure it is going to be great.
@@RustyInventions-wz6ir thank you, I estimate the end of October for the final fettling and dry running 👍
Lovely job, enjoyed every operation, superb accuracy. All those difficult setups made easily understood by us amateurs, cheers and thanks!
@@howder1951 your welcome, thank you
I'd like to know what the brush-on cutting lube is please.... I use a synthetic soluble oil dripped via a pump but it gets messy at times, plus yours seems to leave a better finish off the carbide end mill.
@@paulrobinson7636 hi, its CT-90 cutting and tapping compound 👍
@@EnglishHobbyMachinist thanks for reply but extensive search here in Australia drew a blank.. seems to be confined to England. thanks for the great video though, there's always something new to learn...
@@paulrobinson7636 thats a shame you can’t find it 🙁
Great job.👍👍👍
@@paulburke324 thank you
Great video and just the right time for me as I have to make some this week .Thanks for making it
I only had to make one 😂 hope it goes well for you 👍
@@EnglishHobbyMachinist your vid helps with my planning for the part
Well done mate. That turned out a lot better than I expected it to. I think the only thing I'd have done different would be to drill the holes for the bolts before cutting the bottom bit which would have helped assure alignment a touch more easily.
@@erickvond6825 Thank you, I usually do it your way, but for some reason I didn’t on this one 🤦♂️😂🤷🏻♂️
some great setups there. It would be interesting to see how you initially set up your rotary table
@@paulrayner4514 I normally just use a pin in the mill chuck and lower it into the centre hole of the rotary table and zero the DRO 👍
Enjoyed the video Mark. Some very interesting set ups. The part turned out really well. Cheers Nobby
@@nobbysworkshop thanks Nobby, have a good day 👍
nice work! Not just the machining but the video editing as well. Well done.
@@dennythomas8887 thank you, so kind 👍
Incredible 😮
@@garytin12 thank you
@@garytin12 Thanks 😊
You always make it look so easy.😀
@@djhscorp you have to remember the videos are edited and all of the faffing around is taken out 😂
Lovely work. Now I just need a project that needs balls turned so I can justify buying the kit!
@@modellingmark I’ve made a ball for the ball turning tool. (Probably the only time I will ever use it)😂😂
Hi Nice work like to see it in the future see you in the next video
@@brianclark2370 watch this space 👍
That's turned out really well Mark. Looking forward to seeing it in action. It's similar in design to the Jabus and Easy Pro ball attachments. I have a very simple one that uses carbide tips. My son bought it for me on my birthday. I did a demo 4 months ago. Amazing how many different designs there are. Cheers Nobby
@@nobbysworkshop Thanks Nobby, watch this space, I expect it will become another project that sits on the shelf gathering dust, but I enjoyed the build 😂👍 ATB Mark
Looking really good. Nice job. I'm sure we will see it pop up in future videos.
@@Rustinox thank you, watch this space 😂
Another great video
@@garytin12 thank you
What brand chuck, back plate, and where did you get it? I could use one for my Rockwell 10" X 36" lathe!
@@tonyc.4528 its an RDG and it comes from RDG in Yorkshire 👍
What on earth is this video for?
Another great video . Keep um coming.👍
thank you
Isn't it 2/100mm runout considering that you have a 0.01mm indicator? I have just added the same type of collet to my lathe, and i got similar runout at first. I manage to reduce it down to few microns by clocking the collet using the next screw hole and gently tapping the collet before fully tightening the screws.
@@EricB420 thanks for the tip 👍
I have been thinking about getting a collet chuck doe my Logan 200. It came with some 3c collets and I want something larger. What brand is that chuck?
@@davematthews7686 it’s an RDG with a screw thread for the Myford lathe 👍
Very nice. I'd certainly be happy with 2 microns. Cheers Nobby
It’s a very useful tool for the type of work I do BFN Mark
Another thing I want to do. I have acquired everything I believe for it, just not got to it yet. Nice work sir
When I reduce my “to do” list something else gets added 😂
wish mine was that good. I'm at 0.02 which I think is very good for chinese c&@p.
I know what you mean about Chinese Cr@p, but as a hobbyist I can’t justify buying professional grade equipment, maybe if I was forty years younger 😂
@@EnglishHobbyMachinist Mines only a hobby machine. I used to have an ML7 and a colchester student square head, sold them and bought this pile of junk in their place. I've regretted it every day since.
@@paulrayner4514 😂
That looks a bit big for your mill. I have a bit bigger mill and I limit mine to 40mm. Use quality inserts, it makes a difference. For Ali use uncoated inserts designed for Ali and you will do better. I can't flood cool so I don't use coolant with TC as the fluctuation in temp can cause insert chipping, and they can take the heat. I have just machined down a cast iron block with good results using 560rpm and 0.5mm cuts.
@@daveo9686 thanks for the advice 👍
Looking good! I’m interested to see how you are going to engrave the graduation marks.
@@modellingmark so am I 😂
Some very nicely made components Mark. See you in the next one. Cheers Nobby
@@nobbysworkshop it’s nearly done 👍
well done
@@RB-yq7qv thank you
looking good.
@@paulrayner4514 thank you
She is coming on superbly! Lovely finish on the ally parts. I noticed your publishing some shorts. How successful are they at boosting your subscribers? I’m wondering about doing the same thing on my channel.
@@modellingmark thank you, I do get a few subscribers from the shorts but I like to use them to direct viewers to the main video and then they subscribe 🤞The shorts are remixes from my videos 👍 Good Luck
Sharp looking parts. Nice!
@@howder1951 thank you
Looking very smart await the next installment
@@RB-yq7qv next week 👍
You made a nice job of the end caps Mark. Really nice finish on that aluminium. Cheers Nobby
@@nobbysworkshop I use the carbide cutter for ali and it produces good results directly off the cutter. Cheers Mark
it will be running soon
@@paulrayner4514 a little way to go yet, but before Christmas 😂
your making a lovely engine
thank you
5:43 "Right, I'm not going to *bore* you with all of the grinding..." Wait, was that a pun?
@@mikesmith4365 well spotted 😂
Enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing
Your welcome
Nice work. I was expecting a single pointed 1/4 -40 thread, as I am going to try and make a tap from a drill and should br fiddling with that for a while. Enjoyed the vid, cheers!
I decided to do it with a die in the end 😂
looking good
Thank you
Thanks for the sticker show
Your welcome
Some excellent parts there Mark. The Router cutter did a marvellous job. Cheers Nobby
Thanks Nobby 👍
Your dovetail cutter grabbed because you were CLIMB cutting at the time. The backlash in your x direction allowed the cutter to grab, Yes you could state the issue as too fast of feed, but even slower speeds, this can happen. Especially with dovetail cutter because of the amount of cutter engagement at one time, it is safer to cut were the cutter wont grab the material and lunge forward and taking up that backlash of your lead screw. Nice fit in the end though.
Thank you very much for the advice, somebody else said the same thing 👍👍
We all have the same one, i was hoping you had the answers😅. It seems to work in ally or just use 1 insert. Cool vid mate👍👌🇦🇺
I might have some answers in a follow up video 😉
The XJ9512 mill I've got is specified up to 20 mm face milling. Likely using this 50 mm face mill contributed to chew up every tooth in the middle plastic gear in the transmission. Yes, some steel cutting was done. Changing inserts for aluminium was never tried but would surely give a better result on aluminium. Never practised fly cutting. Guess it makes no difference for radius larger then 20 mm.
Thanks for you input 👍
I love mine, its fitted to a PMV25 and works a treat, the inserts I have are different from yours, I think that's your problem? also noted that you didnt seem to have the quill lock on?
Thank you, what inserts are you using?
Well constructed review. Really enjoy these videos.
Thank you
Make sure you have at the very least a 1mm flat on the 2 external corners to clear the inevitable internal radii left by the dovetail cutter. This will ensure you are not locating just on the corners, any grit will quickly pick up in those areas.
Thanks for the advice 👍
Yep I’m the same with my mini mill. I stick with my fly cutter I made now.
👍
You might actually want to try a heavier oil for ferrous metal work. It's a good use for used motor oil as it's already spent as far as using it for cars goes.
Thanks for the tip 👍
I have the exact one too with some of the same results. First thing I did was made sure the same number of dots are going outward. (There is ether one or two dots, molding marks). It was I bit better. Then took three inserts out (as mentioned above) better results. Make sure the head is trammed. (Cuts better one way and not the other). I’ve got a Bridgeport clone and this cutter has only one insert now, stays in the drawer too.
😂thank you😂
