Hi! Do you know if G02 and G03 can be used in GRBL?

Recently bought a used VM32L machine, and experienced the very same issue. Got hold of a replacement spindle from Amadeal (UK), and some quality SKF bearings. Managed to reduce the runout from 0.08mm to 0.02mm. Still not ideal but it will certainly help with the work that I use it for.

just earlier I was sketching out a sphere cutting attachment for hair clippers, to get a perfectly orbular hairdo

Best video that I have seen you make. Didn't realize that you can do such excellent work. Impressive build.

Merci !!!

I am a machinist for 40 years now and I don't understand why you're blueing your part and wreck your calipers for marking distances on your part. All my lathes came with an Y-axis nonius or, better DRO indicator. Touch of, zero the Y and Bob's your uncle. It looks fancy maybe... But the only thing here which get's blue sometimes is me ;-) I own a Swiss centering microscope for years now and I discovered that you have to tune it every time when you mount it; tip. I also discovered, watching this video, mine has a much better image and therefore much easier to set and use. It's a nice project to build but is doesn't approach the quality of a bought Swiss or German optical centering microscope. I know price is an issue here. But first when do you need a centering microscope? This question should be involved in this video I think. For me the only reason is to find the center of a hole in a rotated part in the X-Z or Y-Z plane. What you see through the microscope then is an ellipse. And you're able to find the center with this tool. Start of with looking at a straight edge and tune the position of the center of the microscope by moving the x or the Y axis on your machine (depending on the orientation of the edge you're looking at). When spot on turn the microscope 90 degrees. Adjust the lens so it centers on the same edge. Rinse and repeat. If both 90 degrees apart movements show the same edge at the center of the microscope you're tuned in for measuring the part and find edges and centers. And pretty accurate within 0.01 mm. TRhank you and all the best, Job

them calipers must worn to the nub, ouch😂

I have been machining stuff for over 40 years and is one of the coolest things I have seen

New to the channel. I appreciate you showing the use of the tool as well as the machining.

Neat.

Very well done, the part and the video.

Nice 👍

👍

Great editing! I enjoy watching machining hate watching ever hole drilled,tapped etc. Nice job showing the finished part in use also. subscribed and thumbs up!

This is like therapy. Amazing levels of craftsmanship and excellent production quality/values. Very impressive, to say the least.

i didnt know i needed one till now... thanks.. jerk.

i always think....could i make that....probably not. nice work

Well know I know how to tell if something is square. Gotta have something flat first, agree?

These were used on jig borers and they were in all the catalogs 20yrs ago, then faded away because they only work on jig borers. The reason is conventional milling machine collets or tool holders are not accurate enough to remove and install the device without losing its calibration.

There level artistry that goes into mill work like this, also we used these for measuring the depth of scratches and gouges when I was a helicopter mechanic. Now I know how they’re made.

Top Job, Sir 👌

Very interesting. Nice work sir

where do you get the reticle?

I have one, it certainly will shorten sone setups And help in adjustment of not only tools but also fixtures and machines (re center tailstock to name one)

How to ruin a caliper. Well demonstrated.

Looks great, does the kit include the graticules/prism/objective or are they separate purchases?

My ears! Choke up on that boring bar! You'll get a lot less squealing and chatter. Looks like you've got about a 6:1 stickout. Anything over 4:1 with a steel bar is questionable, especially in a #2 universal tool holder.The #41 is more rigid.

Happy days, thanks for sharing Paul, that turned out nice buddy

How long did it spin?

I started one of those kits a decade ago, must be getting round to the time to start again. I only stopped because there wasn't a local anodising company to do the necessary, i think I'll just paint it on the inside.

awesome work! clickspring is starting to have some competition :)

beautiful work!

nice ..... you will be up there with Dan Gelbart soon chap .... peace

Ha, Hemingway also has _centering microscope_ misspelled at the top of their webpage, but done properly in the text.

Please how to make a cnc with grbl full video 😊

👍👍👍

Hi Paul, as a fellow-builder of useful projects & tooling / fixtures, I appreciate your contribution to the community. You inspire me & keep me motivated- thank you. Could you share some feedback on how that O1 is performing? How is durability/ edge retention? I appreciate the level of care in your turning and drilling of your 0-flute C/C, In practical application would you reckon your heat treat is on par with the same quality of workmanship? My HSS 0-flutes work very nice in 5086 & 6061 when crisp and sharp, but they don’t do as well in A36. I’m optimistic that o1 might be a beautiful material choice to build my own countersink from. Thanks for sharing. I’m my small circle I’m the twist drill rehab guy! I have a crude jig and can at times subsidize it with enough attention to make a real respectable & symmetric 4-facet grind, but always chasing “better” I would love to rebuild it. I mentioned my reaction of inspiration. Specifically, your tool & die cutter has inspired my vision of its next iteration. Thank you.

Well done, nice editing, stop biting your nails.

This is interesting. Why is it shiny? Normally, you should get a dull grey color no matter the grit size of the diamond. The cast iron must be of weird quality (mythical chinesium) that it enables the diamond particles to "scratch" instead of "tumble".

1:38 bless you!

Thanks for putting out this great video Paul. I will use it as a guide during my build. I bought a handful of their kits a couple months ago and have been enjoying working my way through them. As I was sitting down to start this build, I fired up your video and immediately discovered that my order was missing that bag of parts with the Oilite bushings and other assorted hardware. :( I reached out to them (on Friday evening (after closing hours) - and hope to hear from them tomorrow AM. If their reputation is accurate, I am sure they will take care of me. I really wish they would use decimal units in their diagrams. I don't have them memorized, so I have to break out the calculator for every measurement. I hate to mark up these beautiful schematics with my terrible handwriting. - But, that's my Only complaint!

Gostei muito valeu muito obrigado!

Does it chatter more than normal?

good

Genio totaaaal...!!!!♥♥♥🙌

Hi, is that a german lathe? Cus I saw that 0 compound degree is when the compound is parallel to the way, and with american lathes it is 90 degree that way. Nice Video!

Are any plans available for this ?

Is there a reason you decided on using a deburring tool on that first part after reaming that first hole? I mean, you were already set up in the lathe, why not just turn a light chamfer instead?

Excellent video, thanks.
