- We are milling T-Nuts on the Rotary Table in this video.
Tool position and cutting a curved surface to a close dimension is shown.
My Alexander Master Tool Maker requires these two T-Nuts, they will secure the Vertical Head.

new subscriber to your channel -- great info and well explained, hope to see a lot more from you !!!
Hello John. Sorry It's taken so long to respond; I have been on holiday. Back now with batteries recharged!
Thank you for the comment, and your kind words, I hope you carry on watching the channel and hope to hear from you again. Take Care Jim
Hi there
New subscriber form Ireland here
I have just found your channel and let me say that was an excellent video, you are a natural teacher
I have recently purchased a similar machine, its a Klopp-Korradi UW 10 and have a rotary phase converter coming soon
I wonder if it would be possible to make a location pin to avoid having to tram in the head every time ?
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and please keep up the good work
Hello Seamus. Thank you for your comment and kind words. Klopp-Korradi UW10, this is a good quality German tool room machine, you have a lot of happy hours ahead of you using it. My Alaxander has its roots in Germany being a clone of the Deckel FP1, I have noticed in its vertical head there are holes which look like they are there for set up pins, but I haven't investigated them yet. I suspect if I was machining an important job, I would be checking the tram of the head with a DTI gauge, just to make sure. Take Care Jim
Just found your videos. Of course, they're just as useful now as they were a year ago.
You have an impressive talent for creating this type of video! You show it all on camera, you speak very clearly, and at the correct speed, so your info has time to sink in. Very, very good! Thank you for your efforts!
Of course your accent could use a little work! 😂
Hello FHollis-gw4cc. First of all I must apologise for taking so long to reply. I have just found your comment, not quite sure how I missed it the first time round. Any how, thank you for your kind words, I'm sorry about my accent, but I'm really not good at any others!
Anyway, I scratched me "loaf of bread" rubbed the old "mince pies" and went for a "balls and chalk" down the "apple and pairs". At my "digs", I had a nice cup of "rosy lee" while I watching the "Custard and jelly". Now my "north and south" is dry again so I'm off to the "rub a dub" for a "king lear".
We all talk like this in England normally!
Take Care Jim.
12:20 the statement that conventional milling gives a better finish and is kinder to the maschine is plain wrong. Its exactly the opposite. Climb milling reduces the load of the cutting edge, which leaves a better finish and improves tool life. You only use conventional milling if you have problems with backlash from the lead screw and nut. Or in your case the worm gear inside your rotary table.
Hello Tepre H.
You are correct. Recently with the advent of modern machines that compensate for backlash or have backlash eliminator, it is now accepted that climb milling is the preferred way to machine your job.
However, if you have an older machine that does have problems with backlash (like mine!) then Conventional milling is kinder to the machine, and in my case does produce a better finish.
When making videos, it’s a difficult job to decide on how in depth to go on a subject. Its always a balancing act between keeping the video to an acceptable length, and what information to give. What I said is correct for the age and wear of my machine, and that is the machine that’s in the video. Thank you for your comment, and I hope you understand why I said what I did. For the benefit of people reading along with this, there are times when it is best to use conventional milling even on a modern machine, this is normally when the job has a hard surface, or if the surface could contain hard particles, castings, forgings, or a job that is case hardened are good examples. The reason conventional milling is better in these cases is because the cut starts in the softer material under the surface of the job. Take Care Jim
Hi Jim.
I am a retired wood worker but have developed a keen interest in metal working!
You explain things very clearly, and I am learning from your vids...
Thank you, chap...

Hello Frank, thank you for sending in your comment. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos, and over the moon you can understand what I'm going on about. When do you buy your metal lathe?
@@CYC123 I have already got a metal lathe, and a mill. but sadly, I was green, and I don't think they are very good, but get by. However, I did have to buy at the budget end. I have already done one or two mods on the lathe, fitted a bigger tool post... I have removed the compound slide, as it was pretty bad, but can fit it back should I need it!
Funny thing is, I had to make some T-nuts the other day as the one that came with the machines were pretty useless...
Looking forward to your next vid...

Hello Frank, it pleases my heart you already have a workshop with metal working machines, there don't seem to be as many around as there use to be. Good luck with your projects. Take Care Jim
Superb 👍👍😎👍👍
Hello Joel, thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the T-Nut job. Take Care Jim
Nice!
Hello Mark. Thank you for your comment. Glad you liked the video. Take Care Jim
Great job Jim. It's nice to see you giving this milling machine a chance to continue doing what it was designed to do. Maybe a future video will feature it milling parts for another project.
Hello Dennis, I have been rebuilding the Alexander mill for a while now, it's getting close to being painted and finished, all very exciting. One sad thing, I will have to find a new home for my Marlow mill as the Alexander becomes my main machine. There will definitely be more videos including the Alex. Take care Jim
