I'm glad that he tested this wheel. I have been considering a purchase for some time.
Nice review Yuchol, and honest too! Hope you and the family are staying safe mate!
Thanks Sam, you too
It would be cool if the wheel had one of those quick releases you see on race cars, sometimes handles and wheels get in the way.
I like how you think 😁
I did one similar on my little mill and it is a handy thing for sure. Good stuff.
It sure is handy
Helpful Review Yuchol, Thank You Very Much!
Say your video yesterday and you inspired me to build a quill wheel for my Bridgeport J head and it turned out great. I really enjoy your videos and follow your chanel regularly. You are inovative and thorough and you share information in an entertaining way. Best regards from maple valley, L J
Thanks neighbor!
Thanks Yuchol. Nice video.
good review, Jim is good with customer service and his product
Yes he is. Thanks Chuck!
You got the spacer kit I helped Jim develop, on a Lagun there is a simmilar problem with the quill feed transmission lever intrtfering with the wheel. I actually machined the first one in my shop and sent the dimmensions to Jim. I see you have found out that Jim is a stand up guy and he offered my viewers a wheel for my recent drawing. You will find if you need more torque just grab the spokes and use them. You will find as I have the it is worth the price that it costs to buy the quill wheel. Good review
Great review , i don't remember any one else mentioning the hi, lo lever thing . Cheers .
I have OCD, so.....
They sent me one of those wheels too. And just like you I put the wing nut on the top. I guess that is just the natural place to put it. I have a PM950V and the wheel does fit a bit close to the gear shift. Stay well and keep on keeping on.
I am sure Jim can send you a spacer if needed
I have the same 950V and measured according to Jim's website, so the CL-1 will fit mine but I would like to get the spacer if it don't weaken the set up. I just want one to be in the cool crowd...LOL I don't do enough work in my home shop to really need it.
Hope you and your family is fine in these trying times. Nice unit looks very handy. Anyways nice way of driving your point home !!!???Lol Thanks for sharing
I see what you did there 😁. Thanks
Look great - I'm sure I've seen Bruce Whitham do this to his mills also (may be wrong?) to help with arthritic hands...well done.
My hands thank me every time I use my mill now
I got to know Jim Enos a few months ago, he's a very cool guy. He's very particular and really wants his stuff to be done right so not surprised he's sent out a couple follow up packages to make the wheel fit well.
Good review.
Thanks RR In The Shop
I have a RF-45 type mill and the quill has three levers. Now and again I bump my head to the lever, when adjusting (metering) the workpiece or picking something up from the floor. The wheel is less painfull I asume.
I have a smaller mill. Going to get a racing kart wheel for it!
I absolutely guarantee if you work the Bridgeport Mill with that on you will bang your head on it many many times when doing something intricate. 100% . Instead of the spacer it could have been made with a ball and socket quick release to flip down. I work a Bridgeport every day and could make a list as long as my arm about them. Hey I subbed your channel. If you have time take a look on mine I may have some videos you find interesting. 👍
I think the addition of the wheel is a good idea. I think making the hub/adapter myself is a good shop project. I’ve never done a x,y coordinates circular hole pattern in the mill.
Fun project!
Three spoke spider quill feed handle for the win!
I use mine, about half the time, because it is low enough to run into the work. When it doesn't get in the way, it is really handy.
Dudley Toolwright I noticed that, I have to pay extra attention
Now I want one of those. Unfortunately, I doubt there is one for a Tom Senior Light Vertical mill - not exactly the most popular version of mill made...
Hi, I have the same milling, what is the brand? It has the M on the main frame.
You forgot to show switching from high to low after adding the spacer. How did it work after adding the spacer?
Works awesome with the spacer
Worked 40 years in tool and die almost every bridgeport was fitted with a wheel . like one of the first things people did when they got a new bridgeport was to move the wheel over from the old one. the hardest was to retro fit on the sharp cnc mill conversions
Great video Yuchol!! Did that hub I sent arrive safely?
Yes, just got it and it fits the Cincinnati perfectly. Thank you!
It seems like just a 14" vehicle steering wheel with adapter. I think it will perform better and look better if they use the 13.5inch boat steering wheel. Those have knob and equal spoke spacing.
I am curious about the long term effects of the various oils and solvents on the wheel over the long term
Robert Oswalt The coating is oil and grease resistant and does not break down over time.
This link will address Robert Oswald's oil and solvent concern; americanurethane.com/urethane-chemical-resistance/
Could you share the brand of your mill? I just bought a used one with the same "M" on the base and I am trying to identify it.
M stands for Meehanite casting process and is not a brand name. Many manufactures have M on their castings. My mill happens to be Precision Matthews.
sweet.
My mill had a single handle.I hated it. I drilled and tapped for two more handles,120deg.apart,at the same angle of the original handle.Occasionally,it gets in the way and I slide it off and lay it to the side. I really think that steering wheel thing would be more trouble than it’s worth.
So what fell off the bench, bounced & rolled away at 1:38?
Xacto knife, good catch!
Yuchol, the steering wheel knob is called a spinner; slang term is "suicide knob".
Brodie wheel comes to mind. Probably spelling it wrong.
@@andyZ3500s That's what I've always known them as "Brody Knob", so you can do brody's or donuts essentially. Illegal in most states these days but awesome on forklifts and any short wheel based off road vehicle.
You can make one yourself with an eBay gokart wheel for 20 bucks.
Francisco d’Anconia $20 Wow, can you provide the link to your video showing this and how to adapt it to a mill quill hub. Thanks!
Don't think he has priced delrin or stainless steel screws and I haven't seen a 14" steering wheel for $20. But I could be wrong.😉.
No way, I’ve looked many times.
Reckon why its a thumbscrew and a wing nut?
🤷🏻♂️
now... make up a holder that goes on the square crank pin just in front of the DRO cables .. so you can snap it on there.. and you can change the steering wheel with the crank lever in seconds.. without having to search the shop... where did that thing go..
like the idea of a wheel for quill. but the looks of steering wheel just doesn't go with the iron!
I understand, I am still not used to the look myself
Now lets see you drill a 1 1/2 dia. hole in steel with that, I have been running a Bridgeport for 40 years and I wouldn't own one, way more leverage with the straight handle, plus, they make quick release handles already
It has the same radius therefore the same leverage, do the sums asshole
Who ever uses a 1-1/2" bit in a Bridgeport????? I would fire anyone that stupid in my shop. Arrogant comment
My machines have never been that clean,even when they were new.
James Davis I clean up before filming. It’s like cleaning your house before guests arrive 😁
now all it needs is some large subwoofers and some flames sprayed on the side
Don’t tempt me bro 😁
@@woodscreekworkshop9939 tuning !
Seems to me that drilling and tapping your old lever center to make it a three 'spoke' would solve all your problems. Such as my column mill or drill press. That molded finish will collect oil and dirt and be uncleanable. I would give that expensive gadget a pass. Seems the waste of what could have been an interesting video episode. I rarely get excited with infomercials. Take care. Doug
Looks hokie joe to me for some reason. not a fan.
Way to expensive! Definitely not a winner.
