This turned out very well, much better than my recently failed attempt to make a collet chuck for my Unimat. I will have to use your method on a redo. 👍
@@myfordboy I wouldn't. There were a number of questionable workshop practices- one example, establishing the centre in the mill using a cone held in a Jacobs chuck. Mounting any chuck only using bolts, rather than a turned feature is to be deprecated.
@@Tensquaremetreworkshop Best to get your facts right before you criticise. Not a Jacobs chuck but a live center with a MT 2 taper direct in the spindle of the mill.
Superb little collet chuck 👍👍👍👍 Your ER11 set looks just like my ER16 set, also came from Banggood. Can't remember how much but I know they were very reasonable. Cheers, Alan.
Are my eyes deceiving me or was the tool lose during the turning operation? Nice little tool however and a useful addition to your workshop. Thanks for sharing.
Would it be safe to say that one of your next projects will be a tray or rack to hold the er-11 collects? I enjoy watching your videos as they are well produced and need few words to explain what you are doing
Ah HA! You've finally revealed yourself Stig! I've captured the fingerprint from your left index finger and will soon know just who is the man behind the protective clothing. Hmmm... slight flaw in my plan. Any chance you know anyone who could give me access to a fingerprint database?
I don't know how you can deal with that loose something noise every time you run your lathe. I just get a kick from it. You're having fun, that's all that matters. LOL
A little disappointing- you did not make a collet chuck, you mounted one. As concentricity depends on four bolts, it would be wise to fit dowels- any number of events could cause the bolts to move.
hi David is their a reason why you are selling out to made in China products ? i seem to see more and more your channel is show products from China you beatiful looking lathe myford and which is made in england and your using this crappy looking lathe from China ?
Most tools at hobby level seem to be made in China even if you buy them here. I wanted a small high speed lathe to compliment the Myford and the Axminster one fits the bill. It is well made and accurate. Not crappy at all.
@@myfordboy i understand but for some reason when a youtuber starts getting big like big subs number , they start doing doing BG or ali sponsors and none of that is made in Canada or England or USA its all made in China i thought your content was different , i am pretty sure u dont need the money from this sponsors so why would you even make your channel look like other peoples channel you have a unique content i would it that way instead of selling it out to this people. and if you really want to make money put a web site up with stuff your making i would buy it from you.
I just love old School marching, Bang a hole in and then True it Up! Simples No BS.
Any way another great video to learn from.
Thank you.

I saw your video ,Jim. Those collets were a good buy but a bit large for the Unimat.
Best to keep the overhang small as possible.

Hmmmmm.....what a crafty idea for the micro lathe......I think I'll have to make one too.
You never cease to amaze me!
Nice job as usual. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Awesome project. Thank you for sharing.

great work as always
Everything you make is finer than one could possibly buy
Very interesting video.Thank you.
Nicely done, thank you...

The cutter did not move, I edited the video at that point.
Nice work.
Always interesting 👍
Thanks for sharing 👍
Surprised you didn't use locating pins...
Nice job
very nice!
excellent vid thanks

Exactly that! Working on a collet rack now.
I’m a new bee, I hope you don’t mind the noob questions or comments :)
No problem.
Ah HA! You've finally revealed yourself Stig! I've captured the fingerprint from your left index finger and will soon know just who is the man behind the protective clothing.
Hmmm... slight flaw in my plan. Any chance you know anyone who could give me access to a fingerprint database?
Yes i have access, but it will cost you, and you can't tell anyone..
I can arrange access for a fee; my nigerian parter will contact you with payment details;)
what happens when the teeth of a gear brakes the sound barrier? 😆
I don't know how you can deal with that loose something noise every time you run your lathe. I just get a kick from it. You're having fun, that's all that matters. LOL
Why are you relying on a solder joint to take cutting pressures...?
Silver soldered is very strong and perfectly adequate. Maybe you do not understand silver soldering.
You have not used any pins since the runout was adjusted.
Is "blackening" the same as "blueing" ?
Not quite the same. I understand blueing is heating the metal and plunging into oil.
There are similar products used by gunsmiths.
So, where do you get materials from, local source, mail order?
Mail order. M metals are very good. eBay for the odd item.
⭐🙂👍
the Crocs...
Safety Crocs.
@@myfordboy ah yes, I can see the steel toebox
Never done it before....1st:)
