Every day is a school day Max, never seen that trick before. Worked hydraulic copy attachments but the simplicity of this for 2's and 3's off is excellent. It's been 1 Deg C here today, and minus 8C last night, as much as that is rubbish, I don't think I could work in 40C, in fact I know I couldn't 😂😂
Thanks Jon . Hey , i have never seen the pins on the mag chuck set up before either ! I watch the videos on TV , then have to remember to drop a comment as my computer is in the workshop ! Lol , i could handle the 1 deg but not the minus 8 . The high 30's & 40 get a bit unbearable at times though ! Might have to move back to New Zealand ! 👍
Just lighting up my wood burning stove here in the UK while watching this, so forgive me for being a little envious of seeing you in shorts, and suffering a heatwave.
Enjoying these 'tractor' parts, and another glimpse at your day job, some cool CAT's there. Be good to see your shaper in action for the tractor seat slide ;)
Gday Max, that’s a great idea, I’ll have a look at the LaBlonde page, that’s sound like a very interesting setup, it’ll be good to see the shaper going to mate, top job, cheers
G'day Max, 3⁰C in my shop this morning ya bastard lol, knobs are looking great mate, wizard idea with the tracer, I'm under a blanket on the settee after spending the weekend chopping me bloddy Dyna 😊 Have a great one mate and best wishes to you and yours
Thank you Max, I really enjoyed the learning experience, now I have to engineer a copier. PS, be careful what you complain about, it was 2.5 F here (Ohio, US)this morning, that -16.3 C.
The trick with a trailing stylus copier such as seen here is to keep your main focus on the stylus rather than looking at the cutting tool. That is a mighty shaper you have there👌
Cheers . You have to keep focus on the stylus to prevent a crash . If i am doing them manually with no template , i look at the shape of the work opposite the tool rather than watch the tool . 👍
Fascinating that yesterday I was watching a TH-camr in Canada struggling with the snow whilst today you are scaring us with your legs in a heat wave. 😊
G'day Max, Excellent video of not only duplicating the original ball etc, but your duplicating jig was right up there 🎉😊. Liked your workshop tour, as well as a diff. Lock when things go wrong. Reminded me of an oversize Key Cutting Jig. 😅😂😂
Ripper video Max and a great follower attachment. Was wondering about the compound usage until the power feed came into play! Glad that you weren't affected at the shop there by the fires out your way too. Nasty season coming, stay safe
I can't see well but it looks like that seat slide is curved and made of multiple thicknesses of sheet metal. Doing it on a shaper will involve a lot of different setups - maybe some welding of different sheets ... fun but lengthy. Good luck, Max.
That worked great. I'm guessing you could make a flat pattern from some 6mm steel plate and weld it to some bar stock if you didn't have an original to copy from. Cheers, Preso
That's a pretty cool attachment for the lathe. Looking forward to seeing the shaper in action. You're getting heat waves while us up here in Ohio are expecting 5 inches of snow!
Hi Max, never seen this done before, thanks for sharing, should be cooling down this week. Nice and cool up here, north east monsoon with Siberian winds.
Brilliant method, Max. I'd love to make one, but I've nowt that needs copying, lol. It's on the books though. It'll be great to see your shaper in action. Nice one....Tony
*_I used to rebuild rear ends. Most of them for muscle cars and race cars. Not on heavy eqpt. Good idea on the lathe. I've been working on one for my lathe but it's a tiny bit different. You're more than welcome to send some of that summer my way. We're in freezing temps here right now in Wa state._*
Your going into summer and I'm going into winter . I will like to see the old shaper running . I have one 24" Rockford I need to do a clean up on and do some shop projects with it
Hi Max. Enjoying the lathe work but while in my study as "light snow today with nite temp as -2C" not working to shop as much. Your close in camera and view to process excellent. Here, "All views to terrain above as snow covered. Freezing rain as new week forecast". Regards, M.
Very ingenious. Have done some copy turning on a wood lathe in a previous life wood butchering, so this was very relatable. 👍 The recent heat would have been awful both at your work and in your own workshop. I’ve been hunkering down inside in the air con, not game to go outside. A bit unseasonable for Spring, not even summer yet. Makes you wonder what it’s going to be like when summer actually gets here. Luckily the big fire over Wanneroo way wasn’t out your way, they lost 18 houses and some sheds in that one. Noticed your small lathe “clacking away” during the copy turning brass. You only did the head stock bearings etc up a year or so back before moving out to the block / new shed. Any idea what’s going on there? You were having some issues with movement between the head stock and bed before the move & I think you were planning to put the bed & head stock up onto your big mill table and test for any movement in the connection between headstock & bed? 🤷♂️ Just curious I guess what the issue might be and what your planning to fix it & if the clacking noise might be related to whatever the previous issue was? Should try & catch up for a coldie before Xmas this year if possible.👍
I been around along time and I never seen a follower quite like that before -- simple and effective ! I can always count on you, Max, to come up with a new method and problem solver ! I predict we'll be seeing several thousand similar followers showing up in shops in the near future thanks to you . Double thumbs-up, Max ! 👍👍
I though it looked a little warm in the shop. It is a -5C here right now. Old man winter has arrived. Interesting copy attachment you made. I tried to copy a part once using the same method but I set up a indicator to follow the part. I zeroed the indicator and tried to stay at zero as I copied it. Pretty tricky.
Nice one Max, I have a similar setup on my mini lathe for copying. BTW we are having the same heat wave and tempratures as you, here on the Witwatersrand Highveld in South Africa! Just waiting for the rains and cooler weather.
Thanks . We had a small thunder storm & some big rain drops for a few seconds last night . Only takes a few drops & the noxious weeds in the paddocks take off again ! 👍
Nice to see what you do on your day job! I bought a hydraulic tracer some years back for $30 and put another $150 into it in new oil, electrical cord and hoses. It is fun to play with even if old technology.
That sir is cool as hell, you have taught me so much and it is grealy appreciated 😊 ps i still haven't said anything where your wifes dishes have been😂😂 have a good one
Absolutely Brilliant idea Max 👍👍I'm guessing a few practice runs are recommended..Lol and running from high to low points to reduce the Bozo crash factor... Turned out great ! looking forward to some shaper action! Cold weather is kicking here on this side of the planet... Cheers...ATB....
Hi Max, Nice work with the follower. I did something similar with a mag base and a tapered pin, it certainly beats grinding form tools you'll probably never use again. Best wishes, Mal.
I checked my E-male this mornning and found one of my club member spotted yor post. OK I checked it out, dam I'm jellish, Y could I have not came up with this, Steve Gambone, Jefferson, Oregon
Very nice copy attachment. I hope you don't get cooked by the heat. Got a dusting of snow here overnight with the temperature just below freezing which is a little warmer than average for this time of year too.
You make that look so easy Max. Us (well this) mere mortals would be so anxious about crashing…. Thanks Is there any way you could modify a taper attachment to become a copy attachment? Cheers mate, Mark
In the first couple of years , i think it was all that was commonly available . Used in France & the Pacific , also fitted to tanks . The latter part , the British fitted a 17 lb gun to Sherman tanks . 👍

You would need a gallon of Guinness to keep you hydrated😅

Lol , Cheers 👍
I'm an old lathe dog that just learned a new trick today...Thanks Max, gona try making and using that set up!✅
Cheers 👍
What a ball tearer of an idea!!!! putting this one in my memorey bank incase I need it!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
No worries . 👍
Very cool solution!
Thanks . Simple is best sometimes ! If you ever see a manual (in English ) for a Jung HF 50 surface grinder around , i am looking for one ! Cheers 👍
Clever stylist attachment! Keep the hot chips out of your boots.
Thanks 👍

Cheers Matty . Le Blonde made some great attachments . I still have to check out your vice video , i would not mind the 3 inch version . 👍
nice one Max, I like the variation of Jobs from the Tractor customer.
Lol , he drops in a good mixture ! 👍👍👍
G'day Max, 3⁰C in my shop this morning ya bastard lol, knobs are looking great mate, wizard idea with the tracer, I'm under a blanket on the settee after spending the weekend chopping me bloddy Dyna 😊
Have a great one mate and best wishes to you and yours
Cheers Ralfy . Stay warm ! 👍
Another awesome video Max, wow thank you, I learn so much from your videos.
From kiwi land.
Thanks . Been a long time since i was there last , i am from Wellington . 👍
Thank you Max, I really enjoyed the learning experience, now I have to engineer a copier. PS, be careful what you complain about, it was 2.5 F here (Ohio, US)this morning, that -16.3 C.
Thanks . -- 16 would be a bit much ! 👍
Nice technique Max, always good to see another method.
No worries 👍

That was really cool, Max. You made that look easy. I suspect that following a set of curves like that takes a bit of practice.
Thanks Rob . A little bit of practice ! 👍
Machinist school with Max 👍👌learn so much from you
No worries , Cheers 👍
That is a cool way to do that Max. Nice legs. -14 here in the morning. Snow tonight.
People need to wear sun glasses when i break out the shorts ! 👍
Brilliant, never seen that on a standard lathe, used a bridgeport mill with a probe on the quiil at 150mm centres.
Great job Max.
Thanks . 👍
Very clever. Definitely tucking that idea away for future use.
Thanks 👍
Fascinating that yesterday I was watching a TH-camr in Canada struggling with the snow whilst today you are scaring us with your legs in a heat wave.
😊
Lol . 👍👍👍
Neat technique 👌 Thanks for sharing 👍
No worries 👍
Another trick i have not seen before.......Ill have to try that.......Thanks for sharing
No worries 👍
G'day Max, Excellent video of not only duplicating the original ball etc, but your duplicating jig was right up there 🎉😊.
Liked your workshop tour, as well as a diff. Lock when things go wrong.
Reminded me of an oversize Key Cutting Jig. 😅😂😂

Nice attachment Max. I haven't seen this done this way before. I shall store this method up for future use.
No worries 👍
love the manual copy tracer.. works like a charm..
Thanks . Simple & effective . 👍
Ripper video Max and a great follower attachment. Was wondering about the compound usage until the power feed came into play!
Glad that you weren't affected at the shop there by the fires out your way too. Nasty season coming, stay safe
Thanks . Yes , the heat & fires have come early this year . 👍
I can't see well but it looks like that seat slide is curved and made of multiple thicknesses of sheet metal. Doing it on a shaper will involve a lot of different setups - maybe some welding of different sheets ... fun but lengthy. Good luck, Max.
Thanks . It is one piece & straight . 👍
This is exactly what i'm looking for. I need to make a petticoat for a steam locomotive
No worries 👍
Simple, effective, brilliant. I love it.
Thanks 👍
That worked great. I'm guessing you could make a flat pattern from some 6mm steel plate and weld it to some bar stock if you didn't have an original to copy from.
Cheers, Preso
You could do . I have been thinking about a different design for flat plate templates . 👍
That's a pretty cool attachment for the lathe. Looking forward to seeing the shaper in action. You're getting heat waves while us up here in Ohio are expecting 5 inches of snow!
Thanks . We do not get snow here in Perth . 👍
very good job friend max..thanks for your time
Cheers 👍👍👍
Excellent job max, gotta build me one of those,great video, keep'um coming..
No worries 👍
Real nice job Max! That follower is a great idea! :)
Thanks 👍
nice job max looking forward to seeing the shaper working
Thanks . 👍
Hi Max, never seen this done before, thanks for sharing, should be cooling down this week.
Nice and cool up here, north east monsoon with Siberian winds.
Thanks . The bloody Easterlies are howling here non stop mornings & night ! 👍
Yep, used to visit friends in Forrestfield, absolutely howling easterlies coming over the Darling scarp.
Pilots hate it.
Great idea for the copier attachment Max. Having T slots on my cross slide, mounting will be a breeze. Added to the list of projects!
No worries 👍
Brilliant method, Max. I'd love to make one, but I've nowt that needs copying, lol. It's on the books though. It'll be great to see your shaper in action. Nice one....Tony

Swap weather no worries , unless there is ice & snow involved ! Check out the early Le Blonde copy version with a counter weight . 👍
Max, always keeping it simple and clear. Definitely a keeper for my toolbox memory. Thanks for this!
No worries 👍
I love that idea Max i might try it on my Lathe. Thanks for sharing , Cheers Karl
No worries . Works great , once you get the hang of it . 👍
That is as slick as greased owl poop. Love it.
Lol , Cheers 👍👍👍
nice to see about your day job max!
that copy system is nice and easy and fast.
cheers ben.
Thanks 👍
Your going into summer and I'm going into winter . I will like to see the old shaper running . I have one 24" Rockford I need to do a clean up on and do some shop projects with it
Thanks . Your hydraulic one is just a bit bigger than my 500mm one ! But yes , it will be good to see running . 👍
Love the tracing attachment. All you need to do is to stamp them WD (War Department)& the part No 👍🏴
Lol , a few arrows ! The owner does the stamping . 👍
G'day Max. I will use your set up next time needed, Good and simple and fast. Thanks
Cheers 👍

And indeed, the shaper will be a good choise of machine to make the slide.
Cheers Rusty . Perfect job for a shaper ....although it will take 10 times as longer than the mill , Lol !!! 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop Get your timer ready, so you can compare.
Thank you Max. Good video as always 👍🇳🇱
Thanks 👍

That sir is cool as hell, you have taught me so much and it is grealy appreciated 😊 ps i still haven't said anything where your wifes dishes have been😂😂 have a good one
Cheers . Lol , she gives me the ones she does not want . Otherwise i get yelled at ! 👍
Brilliant work Max. It was 20 degrees F here this morning 🥶 Thanks
That's cold alright ! Cheers 👍
Very slick, great video!
Thanks . 👍
Just like them all, thank your for sharing!
Cheers 👍
Simply put, You Max know some shit. Cheers
Lol , forgotten a lot as well !!! 👍
Nice work, great accessory . I'll gladly trade some of that heat for our approaching winter coldness. Enjoyed the video, cheers Max!

Thanks Dean . Yes , run from high to low . 👍
I like that eyed deer.. Cheers
No worries 👍
-15 c were I am in Canada I think I prefer that over the heat. Good vidio Thanks
Lol . That's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey . Cheers 👍
Great idea , they look perfect . I learn something about every time I watch one of your videos , thanks mate
No worries 👍
That is just slicker than Owl Shit. I've never seen anything like it.
👍👍👍.
Slicker than snot off a chickens lip ! 👍👍👍
Thanks again Max! Love it!
No worries 👍
Hi Max, Nice work with the follower. I did something similar with a mag base and a tapered pin, it certainly beats grinding form tools you'll probably never use again. Best wishes, Mal.
Thanks . The mag base works great when you need to be within about one thou . I bored a spherical bearing bore that way in an early video . Cheers 👍
That is slick Max ! 👍
Cheers 👍
Another great one Max
Cheers 👍
Liked that , that worked out great 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Love that copy attachment I think I will have to make one of those for my lathe, great idea thanks for the video.
No worries 👍
Max that's a great idea . I never thought about making such a simple tracer tool for a import machine . Keep up the good work . JM
Thanks 👍👍👍

'Tractor' knobs?
Yes , tractor knobs . The 1940 , 2 pounder anti tank variety ! 👍
very handy toy that one!!!
Yes 👍
Brilliant
Thanks 👍
You make that look so easy Max. Us (well this) mere mortals would be so anxious about crashing…. Thanks
Is there any way you could modify a taper attachment to become a copy attachment?
Cheers mate, Mark
Yes , but it would be a ton of work & set up time . 👍
21:00 you know we’re imagining you naked 😂.
Lol . If the weather was any warmer , there would not be much left to imagine !!! 👍
Will you be taking on a apprentice in the future to create a 4th generation?
Kit from Queensland
Will have to wait & see on that one ! 👍
For anyone contemplating making a copy attachment a point worth making is the Stylus should have a similar profile to the cutting tool shouldn't it ?
That it does , but not always . Depends on the profile of the part . 👍
How is the guide attached? Do I see a weld?
Just tacked on , in case it has to be changed . 👍
what chuck is that on your AL960 Max?
Gator 160mm , they are good chucks . 👍
A two pounder? That couldn’t have been very effective. Maybe in WW I.
In the first couple of years , i think it was all that was commonly available . Used in France & the Pacific , also fitted to tanks . The latter part , the British fitted a 17 lb gun to Sherman tanks . 👍
