CHRIS IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....TALENTED YOUNG MAN....as he gets older imagine how much better he will be.....I would buy anything he makes...the attention to detail and love he puts into what he creates....makes them priceless!!!!!
That’s what I like to see, straight in the metal stash with bare hands, No shits given. No gloves here. Proper hands on. Thanks for sharing the build, in the process of making one myself. No space for lathe unfortunately. currently waiting for my rollers to be turned at a local engineering shop out of solid 50mm EN8D Steel turned down to 20mm on each end With a H7 tolerance for the bearings. Having them cut in radius grooves ranging from 2-10mm aswel enabling me to form steel rods too. I’ve Got Great inspiration from this video to apply to making my own. Top bloke 👍
Top bar should be solid steel as the force placed on it is almost double that of the lower rollers. That (28.35) was the biggest coat hook I have ever seen. Keep up the great videos.
Solid isn't always the answer, but I don't feel like doing the stress calculations to determine which one is stronger lol. Increasing in diameter or heat treating might be an option though
@@bradensmith888 Agreed, solid isn't ideal, however an increase in Dia means having to increase space between two lower rollers aka start over from scratch. Heat treating cold steel is a non starter and a thick wall chrome molly tube means cost triples, also a non starter.
Rather b welding a tip for you.... Mark a center line in each slide end horizontal. Then make or ribbit a metal ruler on each end so you can make sure each end is at the same setting for a perfect flat roll. Also you can adjust one end slightly more or less and make comical rolled shapes.
In my opinion, metal workers and electricians are rockstars. Anybody can build a shed or paint a wall but very few people can do what you do. Any build video you can put out there, I'll gladly watch. Subbed.
Unexpected Gem! Cheers for the extra upload this week. Pretty badass making your own tools. That bow was showing really well before dropping the straight edge onto it. Seems to be strong enough for what I might use it for on car sheet metal mostly. It was a good video man in the format presented.
I like when you say what the project is in the title and get straight into it. No need for and intro and explanation. Music is nice on some videos. For a semi-simple build like this, it was nice to just hear the machining
You could fix that little hole in your table by putting weld in it, then smooth it out, back to normal. I love your channel, you are very Interesting at what ever you're teaching us . You always explain stuff that is going on. So what ever way you do your videos keep up the great work and God Bless
The mill is a precision machine tool, not a tractor. The table is cast iron and it's precision ground. Don't get anywhere near it with any kind of welding or the grinder you'd have to use to "smooth it out." The hole is a battle scar. Live with it.
Hey Chris that’s a good job. If you build your end pieces with the roller centers wider you will be able to roll thicker metal. The wider the bottom rollers are the less force it takes to bend the steel but won’t make really small rolls like what you have.
Now you could also make a hydroform for fuel tank endcaps. The simple ones use either a grease gun or a pressure washer to supply pressure. Also, if you weld the rod to the upper roller link without going all the way through, then thread the top cap, you could slip the adjuster off the roller for an easier part removal.
Don't be disheartened. I am a Sheetmetal Worker and the rollers that can properly roll 1/8 th plate have solid rollers of about 4 inch diameter (and are usually motor driven). I love your optomism though. Your roller tool is awesome. Imagine the curvy body work you could do now.
I work in a steel mill and we have a similar setup for bending coils. If you put a heavier bigger roll on top of your bending roll. You will reinforce it and take a lot of load off.
Dude . . . I love your work. What do you do for a living ? Your HOBBY is amazing. Your TOOLS & equipment are out of this world. And the knowledge that you possess is beyond impressive. Much respect... From my shop to yours.
I liked the stepped milling edit.. pretty cool. It's really only your top roller thats not as strong because it's hollow.. You can still make a beefier top roller and make it stronger still.... You could make it solid like the bottom rollers.. and then just make a bearing holder that can float and be adjustable.
Nope they all are deflecting the only fix is to use larger diameter tubing because going from a hollow tube to a solid bar of the same diameter has only negligible deflection gains (approx. 10-15% anti deflection gain) for the weight added however going from a 2 inch to a 3 inch .50 wall tube nearly doubles the deflection resistance (this is why in racing they use gun drilled larger dia. axleshafts to reduce rotating weight while increasing strength. (If you want to test this take a 1/2 inch solid steel bar and try to bend it... then try to bend a 1 inch od 1/4 wall steel tube (same total overall material thickness) this is also why building a frame with 1 inch .120 wall steel tubing will end with a weaker frame than a 1.5 inch od .120 wall steel tubing will
@@dodgeme1986truck If you go back and look at how he puts it together.. the top is only riding on a 1" bar in the center... but yeah, I agree-- I don't know why he built a new one if he was just going to make it a similar size.. Should have went with 3" pipe.
Making your own tools is always so satisfying. I made a slip roller last year, never knew I needed it so much. I used a cheap harbor freight electric pipe wrench to spin the rollers. Excellent build, bro!
I would appreciate more of these types of videos. I really enjoyed the quality of the camera shots and just being able to watch it peacefully with no background music. I feel like background music is ok for transitioning clips but when it's 20 or more minutes of machining, sometimes the music starts to get irritating. The only other thing I would say is if you could focus on the audio of the lathe humming and turn it down a bit. It gets a little echoey in my speakers. Other then those nit picky things. You're machining skills are awesome man. That sheet metal roller is a beauty.
Maybe a backup roller sitting on top of the top roller to reinforce it when rolling heavier metals. That's what they do in the mills when rolling steel. You could add it to this design which otherwise is awesome.
I definitely like your original editing style, talk as much as you want the haters can hate. Your full of knowledge and I always learn something from your videos 🤙🏻
Just pausing to come down here and say, I'm enjoying the hell out of this! I so loved the lathe build series! Hopefully there will be more build series like that, and this one in the future too! You're so darn talented, appreciate your content!
Very cool video, and a nice heavy duty tool. I kept thinking while watching this that you need a grinding station with some of those magnetic door locks to hold the piece to the workbench hands-free
When you want to deal with metal and such machines, you must choose the thickness that suits the roll and the plate, and before that, know the plate how much pressure it needs, and by the way, and know how to choose the right roll diameter and the required thickness. Makes a great video, thank you 🌹🌹
I for one love how You did this video ! As far as drilling the mill table goes , I have been doing machine work a lot longer than you have been alive and I have never seen a well used mill that doesn't have a few Oh shit marks on it ! If you use it , it will get them !
@@carabela125 it's actually the same amount of pressure its just not as noticeable because the rollers are bowing in differing directions the lower rollers are bowing at an angle between 30-40degrees from vertical while the top roller is bowing vertically... the human eye cannot see the bottom rollers bowing due to the steel plate being in the way

You don’t need music, I think it’s pretty bad ass excellent job I have a roller now but I’m wanting to upgrade and have been thinking about building one. yours, give me a better idea of how I would like to do it and I would like to make it power. Thank you very much great video.
its was bloody time to do that metal roller,but its good to have leather sand pack and right hammers to make metal work,that was one way how i did back in day all my 2 stroke pipes chambers, hammering and stretching metal to right shape.
You could strengthen it with pipe over top of your rollers with plug welds and tiny spacers between them. Weld the hole in your table and methodically grind and file it flush. I'm a maker of stuff too on my channel but I enjoy yours so I subscribed. keep having fun .
Was looking at exactly how to make this. Didn't realise the level of detail that's in it. You are definitely a skilled metal craftman. Subed immediately.
I personally enjoy this format. I watch a lot of similar content and to be honest the same royalty free tracks everyone uses gets kind of old. Keep up the good work, you've got real talent, it's fun to watch.
Some solid rollers would sort that problem out. Also you answered your own question about how to remove the rolled sheet (at 22:36 just pass it under the bottom roller, or lift it up while rolling & it springs out) because your never going to roll a sheet with 2times overlap. Usually I cut it to size on the guillotine first so you have nice clean edges the whole way around, then roll it with 2” lap (depending on radius = more or less lap) it’s easier to work with it over rolled than under rolled. Love your work, absolutely amazing job👌🏼👌🏼 Video format is very cool, a little like Pask Makes channel
Leaving a like just for seeing that you finally have a reasonable amount of the turning tool sticking out of the holder. Not so much on the parting tool, but one step at a time. If you're having trouble with parts being tapered when using the steady rest, I'd be happy to find you a video showing how to avoid that.
That lathe is a thing of beauty.. Great work man! Watched the whole vid, wow! what an outcome. I'm very impressed!. I wish I had the tooling you do..... And the know-how
If you want to roll 3 mm plate you can increase the distance between the lower rollers, that will reduce the load on the machine. you can possibly achieve the same radius if the top roller can go further down between the bottom rollers. You will find that not only the top roller bent but also the lower rollers would have too.

A tip for beginner lathe users.....dont use the threading half-nuts for a power feed. It wears your feed screw out. Use the feed handle and gearing

If you want to roll 3 mm plate you can increase the distance between the lower rollers, that will reduce the load on the machine. you can possibly achieve the same radius if the top roller can go further down between the bottom rollers.
You will find that not only the top roller bent but also the lower rollers would have too.
Fine as is. We get to hear what you put up with noise wise making stuff. Like humming of the motors and screeching or the metal removal.
