I know that tone of voice, PRIDE comes through your voice, been there, "best thing you ever made" Patience pays off. Takes alot mate! great job. A very few people have the commitment or patience.
Gday mate those parts turned out really nice how good is it when stuff just fits how you plan it. I noticed you are using WD40 as a cutting oil, could be the reason you are going through cutters especially on steel, Trefolex cutting oil for your steel parts might save your endmills better not that I am trying to promote the brand or anything it's just what I've been using trouble free for years. WD40 will be ok for aluminium though and kerosene or diesel will work for ally as well. As a rule I use Trefolex for high speed steel on steel, Inox for HSS on ally and nothing on carbide on steel; soluble cutting coolant can also be good for carbide on ally. Though I wouldn't set any of this is set in stone it's just what I do. Hope this helps and cheers for the video.
Hey mate… yeh I was surprised myself with the fit 😆 Wd40… yeah that was a first. I don’t normally use anything, just air to remove the chips. Thought I’d give it a go. I’ve been meaning to sort out coolant for it for ages. Just haven’t got there. When I set the coolant up on the lathe, I plummed it in a way that I could just plug another hose straight in for the mill. It’s all done and ready to go. I just haven’t done the return feed for it. And really need a tray under the mill because it’s such messy shit. I need to get around to it. One day…. Anyway, thanks for stopping by again 👍👍
Mate that’s a great fit!!! Massive project, love it all!!!!
@@NeverRest300 cheers mate, yeh it’s a bit of a task this one.
