    What a nice, clean build! I especially like how you got into other details besides just machining, like the circuit re-design and anodizing, to get it just how you want. Really neat. This is also my first time watching (not sure why) but your editing and voiceovers are great!

    You were served up and the title caught my mind. I have just spent 2 days modifying a trailer hitch on the mill. The lighting is behind the tooling. My bandsaw has a light on flex which is also a pain. Do I want new lights? Too right.
    As I watched I realized what a quality production you offer. Nicely paced, lovely vocals and lighting, informative. A pleasant change from our usual stateside comrades. I subscribed.
    Re tube bending. Filling it with sugar is a nice twist on the other suggestions. You can dissolve it if need be.

    Another trick for bending small tubing like that w/o collapsing it is to pin it like you did, then fill it with fine sand or something similar. Probably would help to pin the other end afterward and heating like you did would probably make it even easier.

    I must confess that I would probably have made one out of plastic! Much easier to machine. I actually made one from LED strips - several wired in parallel - in a square housing. I just drilled and tapped four holes into the mill's casting. However, I think I might upgrade it to higher brightness LEDs and then I will probably use your dimmer circuit, as it might then be too bright or at least need to be controllable for different materials.

    The through hole vias are called "mouse bite". they are put in the tab where the cut out part is still connected to the larger panel during production.
    They make it possible to (mostly) cleanly break the part out of the panel instead of having to cut it.

    • @Sembazuru
      @Sembazuru ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My guess as to why there were residual hole plating in the mouse bites is often for cost cutting reasons some board houses plate all holes instead of having a mix of PTH (plated through hole) and NPTH (non-plated through hole). If you drill all your holes at the beginning before plating the holes that need it then you don't need to have drill bits in your milling machine when milling the profiles for final board shape as the final board shape. Makes for a less expensive milling machine for the final step if it only ever needs one tool instead of having a tool changer to swap between the single size milling bit and a variety of differently sized drill bits.

    When I made the same thing for my 6040 CNC, I used blue foam (My first 3D CNC milling job) and double sided adhesive tape; having a 3D printer now, it would have been straight into SolidWorks, and then 3D printed. But you can be proud of your finished product and its incredible build quality. For my manual mill and manual lathe, drill press and 3D printer, I have found the 30 LED magnetic sewing machine light on a 200mm gooseneck from Amazon for $10 is very flexible, positional and BRIGHT and is the cat's meow.

    The light housing looks like a stock part. Very nice job.
    I don't know what the obsession is in the UK with replicating gas lamps with LEDs, but finding 6500K lightbulbs in the supermarket or even a hardware shop is a nightmare. The CRI of warm whites is execrable.

    Technically excellent, visually excellent. Just excellently excellent. Just on another level. 😁 Cheers

    I enjoyed your video you should have ground yourself a trepanning tool. It affords much more support to the tool below center by following the radius as seen from the workpiece. You could grind a more narrow trepanning tool to reduce the load and feed with the cross slide to finish to size. The light was grear idea and a great design. Thanks for the video

    Really a fantastic work, the video editing Is super, like the sound! I did a similar job 3 years ago on my mini mill SX2, like yours milling machine! At that time i used the BMW type 1 "Angel eyes", that was use for my Bmw type 1 car of 2005 front position lights! ( You know..BMW= Brings More Womans... 😂that was why i bought It!)Do you have a video how to colour alluminum? That's very interesting for me! Super video congratulation! A big ciao from Italy, Alberto 🇮🇹

      Thanks for watching Alberto! Great minds think alike! I'm no expert on dyeing aluminium, but what works for me is described here: th-cam.com/video/L2RKze7baJw/w-d-xo.html
