Project Powerfeed Part 2

Continuing the smart powerfeed project for the mill
This video focuses on the limitations and build of the mounting and housing plates of the system. Perhaps the least exciting components of the build, however it's exciting to see the shape forming
The powerfeed will be 'smart' in that it can be told what to do and can be programmed.
Woohoo 3 videos in 3 weeks! Let's see if I can get another for next week

Love your little Hercus! And your videos. Looking forward to the next power feed instalment . I have the same mill 😎

[@TomMakeHere]

Ah you have great taste in machines then!

[@carllie4848]

Hello again. Very good. Keep up . Carl

[@TomMakeHere]

Cheers, the mechanical side is proving to be fun

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

Very ingenious!

[@TomMakeHere]

Thanks John!

[@Machine_NZ]

Going to be an interesting build. Cant wait for the next video.......

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Me neither. It certainly is going to be interesting. Gotta say I love this style of fabricating/welding/machining combined. Reminds me of the gearbox build. Cam at battler is doing a similar style of construction to make a slotting tool for the lathe bed. I would love to have the gumption to build a rotary table for the mill in this same style. Maybe if I find the right worm gear set...

[@Machine_NZ]

@@CraigsWorkshop I agree. Its good to see different peoples approach to what they want to design/build

[@TomMakeHere]

Buy a better mill? Where's the fun in that?!
That being said, if solid iron is on offer I would snatch it up

[@Rustinox]

As always, a fantastic video. You sure did a lot of thinking to realise this project.
Fortunately the "weurg wood" was just MDF. Real wood is worse.

[@TomMakeHere]

Nasty stuff either way
Thanks for watching

Cheers!

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Should work out good . Is that a Hercus mill ?

[@TomMakeHere]

Sure is, it's the second model with 3 t slots. Solid iron

[@airgunningyup]

what mill is that ?? its soo small yet soo rigid

[@TomMakeHere]

It's a Hercus Mk 2 mill. Made in Australia 50 or so years ago
The small work area can be an issue (I have some mods planned) but you are right, it is crazy rigid!

[@872stro]

Hi interested in your project any chance to send the Arduino code please

Ok sir. Calc u later. ;)

[@TomMakeHere]

Someone's been watching my other videos :) Thanks for watching!

[@CraigsWorkshop]

First! ;-)

[@TomMakeHere]

You win

[@medienmond]

Please stop shaking your hands around so much. Otherwise: thumbs Up!

[@TomMakeHere]

Lol ok I will try to restrain them in future
Thanks for watching

Annoying 'plop' sound effects are annoying.
