Good day Adrian. I just successfully mailed the groove 0.0200 deep across a piece of aluminum using techniques I’ve learned from your channel. I mounted fixture plate to my cross slide and clamped vice to it .and used my chuck to hold endmill . I may try it again with my collet holder. Your videos are very helpful. I’ll give you the credit for most of my success. The next thing you’re going to teach me is how to make a fly cutter.
Ade Another rotary table hack - Sometimes you have something too big for the top of the rotary table that you don't want to drill mounting holes in the central area. In those situation, outriggers come to the rescue. Basically mine are 3/4in thick, 1in wide bars, with 2 holes at one end for use with T-nuts on the table, and threaded holes drilled on the other ends to use with your holddown clamps. At least on my rotary table, the outriggers give me an additonal 6 inches of reach for the holddowns and they also act as spacers to keep you away from the rotary table top. Depending on the stock you get, you may need to mill the top and bottom surfaces so they are flat and parallel Take care - John
I really like how that came out and how all the accessories fit to it. I like how you think. And I like your idea for the mist coolant holder - I tried to cheap out on my mill mister but am not happy with it now so will probably make a base for it similar to yours. Nicely done!
Nice couple of additions Ade, up to your usual standards, well done. The quill plate is a really useful unit, it's nice to see the project finished and in position..... Excellent job and interesting to watch. Cheers, Jon.
Awesome result on the quill plate Ade. I have the same mini mister as that, and haven't set it up yet. I like the base you've made for it! Cheers, Craig
Gday Adrain, I’ve really enjoyed this build, I brought the carbide endmills from banggood and very happy with them also the same mist coolant sprayer, also happy with that, I picked up same great tips during this build which is always great, thanks for sharing mate, throughly enjoyed, would you be interested in doing a sticker swap with Matty’s Workshop, let me know, cheers Matty
The Air mister looks good but it moves with the table instead of staying on the cutter so you will be forever moving it as you cut, Add a rod and use the hole for the dti you made.
Nice job on the quill plate and DTI holder. One question: don't you need your mist coolant nozzle to remain stationary relative to the z axis in order to keep it directed at the cutter?
That was superb. I enjoyed every second. You are an inspiration. Every part you make is a piece of precision engineering, right down to the smallest nut. The mist coolant holder was a joy. I've heard mist coolant can be hazardous as you can breath it in. Any truth in that? Keep well and hope to see another video soon. Loved the ending!
Every time I see you I get a giant smile on my face love the videos thank you so much for the promotion of my channel can’t wait to get my own mill debating on whether getting a full size meal or a new benchtop mill what do you think
I have a minimill bench top one, I have converted it to a CNC machine with LinuxCNC i'm building a metal enclosure for white water at the moment always upgrading. Really depends what jobs you going to be running.
Hi Ade, came across your site recently, havnt been off it yet! i've subscribed as well! Catching up with your content. Really well presented if you dont mind me saying so. I'm a Welsh lad myself, coming up to retirement and looking to set up a little workshop in my garage for a hobby. I work in your neck of the woods. I'm working on making a model of the White Bridge behind B&Q in Carmarthen, you probably know it. Very early stages at the moment, doing the research and looking for some drawings but no luck as yet. Yje current situation does not help either. Anyway, really enjoying your content and thank you for posting your work. regards Gareth
Hi Ade and everyone doing this project, I was looking for a better way to adjust the depth stop and found that on the Bridgeports they use what is referred to as an "Educated Nut". I found the following video that shows a gentleman describe how he made his and it is straight forward. I made one and what a difference in usability of the quill stop. Here is the video which is very short: th-cam.com/video/dApjOiTNt-Y/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo All the best, Bruce
Very nice project. And done with perfection as always. Thanks

I love the cold ones too. Beer that is...
Fantastic job

Keep up the good work!
Excellent innovative addition to the shop. Like the manufacturing method on the eyelid clamp.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards John
Great design and nice workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!, Cheers Steven , much appreciated. Cheers Ade.
Awesome work Ades. Excellent machine work. Great add on for any mill. Thank you for sharing.

Great job Ade thanks for the video hope to see more soon
More to come! DRO next. Cheers Ade,
Thanks for the video Ade looks good 👍🏻 cheers mate
No problem 👍
A beer well deserved, good job Ade. 👍
That is very nice work. Enjoyed the machining very much.
A useful addition to the mill Ade,made to your usual high standard.
Those will come in real handy. Great job building them
God bless
Stay safe
Thanks Ade, you certainly inspire me to do the same. I can see no end of uses for the quill plate Cheers.
Nice couple of additions Ade, up to your usual standards, well done. The quill plate is a really useful unit, it's nice to see the project finished and in position..... Excellent job and interesting to watch. Cheers, Jon.
Another excellent project complete! Glad you're well.

It would be better if the mount didn't move with the table... but otherwise, it will work.

Great job on the projects. Nowww I'll have a "Fosters". Thanks -Tom
Well done. Great video as always!
Good job Ade very useful addition to your mill along with the along with the DTI holder and mist coolant. Tony
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Ade.
Great video Ade, I actually bought a Warco lathe after watching your videos. Now im thinking i need a mill to play with.
Great job ade ! I share your joy in your new mill. I just got a rf30 clone been wanting a mill forever hard to find one for a good deal yeah!
Brilliant
Hi Ade , really like your quill plate , cheeky question , would you happen to have a sketch for guidance ?
You forgot to mention your new jumper, 😊
Nice one, Ade. Enjoy your drink.
Nice job on the quill plate and DTI holder. One question: don't you need your mist coolant nozzle to remain stationary relative to the z axis in order to keep it directed at the cutter?
Hi Adrian; Very nice quill plate build, look forward to watching each one.As an aside what video editing programme do you us on your pc?
Good video Ade thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Ade.

Nice work Ade. Well whats the next project ??????????
Could do with one of them for my mill ... nice job (:
Cheers Pal.
