I've noticed that polished aluminium inserts do a way better job for general turning jobs on ferrous materials. The olde worlde micrometer is coming along just grand!
I find your videos an absolute pleasure to watch. The way you always find ways to solve unique situations and use "scrap" to make your projects is fantastic. Cheers from Canada
Hi Michel. Your ability to see beyond each problem is inspirational. Nothing seems to get the better of you. Thank you for sharing your positivity. 👏👏👍😀
Hi Michel ☺ cleaning up the part on the mill, I expected you to put an engine turned finish on it , but it cleaned up ok. And reusing your leftover metal from the brake drum project was good, pity all those chips can't be used again,lol. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Good to see you persevering with the shaper when you have a nice mill. How do you keep your equipment entirely rust free? I can't believe your climate is that different from ours.
As usual, an entertaining and interesting video. I also used aluminium inserts on steel! They cut very well, but not for long... Waiting for the next part of this thriller....
Just yesterday I was thinking I should get some inserts for aluminium (because I was machining aluminium). A belt sander is on my shopping list. Nice relaxed video talking through the practical issues. Cheers
I bought some of those Aluminum inserts to turn Aluminum on my mini lathe. They did an amazing job as compared to a carbide insert on Aluminum. Nice job! You make us all wish we had that shaper. But I’m sure it’s your skill that really makes it work. 😉
Nice one Rusti. It's all coming together nicely. In regards to cleaning up a face of flat plate, try using scotch-brite disk in the mill spindle to clean up the face of material. It seems to work rather well on aluminium, but I haven't tried it on steel. Cheers, Aaron.
Great video Michel, some really nice setups, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product and observing it in use. as always, a very entertaining video, cheers!
G'day Rusty. Another great video production. With the flycutter, I thought you might have attained a finer glass like finish with a slow auto feed & slightly higher quill speed. Either way, considering the amount of work involved in all the parts, you have an excellent project, which we can Name The RustyMeter 😅🎉😊 👍🏻
Hi Michel, i wonder that you use the parting tool for side cutting operation. I n my opinion the tool does not like side loads at all. But it is unbeatable at slotting and parting. Best regards Tobias
Hi, probably i expressed it wrong. I was talking about finishing/planning the surface horizontally with the parting tool. In my expierience this results in side loads and the parting tool does not like side loads. Which could be an explanation why the surface was not perfect. Nevertheless great project.
*_I must say, really cool electralux you have there. I have 2 from the 70s. Parents had one growing up. And be careful relying on that fly cutter too much. It will wallow out your spindle bore on the machine._* 🥸👍👣

On soft steel they work really well.

Just go for it. That's all.
You’re right - the shaper is a lot of fun! Coming along splendidly!
Absolutely.
"Because shapers are fun." Yes sir!
Absolutely.
The shaper is such a versatile machine. So many possibilities. The project is moving along very nicely. Cheers Nobby
On a shaper you can make whatever you want.
Who rattled the rooster's cage! Great video, very entertaining! Definitely your best project to date!
Roosters... well...
Cool project! The dials turned out really nice.
Thanks. More to come.
For the long half hole you could also use the piece already made and glue an oversize piece to it to drill the hole in one go.
I don't think glue will hold.
Oh yes, I must do that vice jaw mod. Loving the series.
Thanks.

Thanks Stuart. I don't think the circular finish will look good on this part.
Good to see you persevering with the shaper when you have a nice mill. How do you keep your equipment entirely rust free? I can't believe your climate is that different from ours.
WD40 and oil every day. And a lot of clean up.
Very pleased to see your machines at work,Michel.Thank you.
Thanks. Machines are fun :)
Looking good, the belt sander is definitely my friend, it gets me past all sorts of problems. 👍
Belt sander = must have :)
@@Rustinox Absolutely.
I like the swirls made when using a piece of emery wrapped round a dowel asa finish
Yes, it looks good.
Great Michel
it's taking shape, look forward to the next one

Thanks Kev.
very good job rustinox
Thanks.
Coming along well Michel. Nice one!
Thanks Mark.
As usual, an entertaining and interesting video.

Waiting for the next part of this thriller....
In soft steel they work very well.
@@Rustinox I don't know for sure if it was cold rolled or what grinded axles.
Looking good. Getting there. I like the way you get a solution
Thanks Rusty.

A belt sander is a "must have". Go for it, Paul.

The shaper is a very easy machine to run. And fun too :)
Lots of good stuff and shaper action too 💪💪👍👍
And fun to build.
Looking good Rusti. Lots of parts to it.
Steve.
Thanks Steve.
Part 5 already, I got to backcheck the last few parts Michel...been very busy Cheers!
Time flies :)
Good work Michel.
Thanks.

I will give it a go one day.
Very interesting.
Thanks.
Clamping is an art. Good job!
Don't think so. Just do it :)
I agree shapers are fun it’s coming long good Thanks Michael
They are :)
Great video Michel, some really nice setups, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product and observing it in use. as always, a very entertaining video, cheers!
Thanks.
I hear that the rooster is back at work ;-)
Yep, he's happy and he wants everyone to know it.

The RustyMeter 😅🎉😊 👍🏻
I have to use the fly cutter more lo learn it's limits.
And to name the thing... I didnt think about it :)
👍😎
Thanks.
hey michel you forgot to feed the chickens lol.😂 (they don't bother me) what a pity that the carrier pigeon was late
I'm not in a hurry. The tap will arrive when it does :)
Hi Michel, i wonder that you use the parting tool for side cutting operation. I n my opinion the tool does not like side loads at all. But it is unbeatable at slotting and parting. Best regards Tobias
Well, I didn't use the parting blade. I did the side with the "all round" tool.
Hi, probably i expressed it wrong. I was talking about finishing/planning the surface horizontally with the parting tool. In my expierience this results in side loads and the parting tool does not like side loads. Which could be an explanation why the surface was not perfect. Nevertheless great project.
🐓!
Male chicken...
I need to make a anti-bozo marker.
Go for it. And let us know if it works :)
That's a lot of cups :)
9:15........Primitive, as only Rustinox can do.
Lol.
can you send me a packet of anti bozo lines please
Well, there is no guarantee that they work...
Coming along nicely! Thanks for your time and skills.
Thanks. My pleasure.
