Great video! Did you make that rotary table yourself? I'd like to know more about it.😃
Beautiful hammer. Sub’d for more vids
Very nice. Both the design and the machining. The Base is a lot of work, but also came out beautiful. PLEASE tell me about the Rotary Table. I've never seen any like it. Thanks. Regards.
Very nice work young sir
I like the vise stop. Didn't you make a video of that some time ago??
great design and manufacture . I don't have vise stop and cant easily attach one to my vice so I will use your drawings to make one Thanks from western Australia
Excellent work. I particularly like the knob (mistake included). Most machinists would have settled for just a knurl for grip.
Its trash but its exactly what I need! Im doing a challenge to make a "machine shop" using nothing but natural materials I can find in the wild or trash I can find on the ground, and that goes for the tools to make the tools as well. So far I have some surface plates made from big rocks I found and a crude forge made from clay to smelt aluminum and copper. No way I can make accurate gears yet for a true dial indicator but now I can move one step closer to my goal when I make this from aluminum.
You're kinda right, every hobby machinist channel on CZcams does have a fly cutter video, but they also all have vise stop videos too. Although I do love your one knob for height and length design. Great video. 👍
The one scenario you DO need leadscrew stabilizers at the top is if you're running a dual-z setup with a synchronous belt to keep the two sides in step (pun intended) with each other. Without them, you can't keep the belt in tension. I feel it would only be fair to make an addendum acknowledging that scenario.
The beginning of the video specified that we are talking about entry level printers. I already specifically acknowledge that modded printers and higher end printers have different needs. Thanks for the feedback but I completely disagree that an addendum is required.
what mini lathe would you recommend?
Honestly, if you're willing to go through it and make sure everything is put together properly, I would buy the standard 7x14 import. I bought my proxxon because I wanted something that worked well out of the box. It's been a good little lathe but over the years I've come up against capacity and rigidity issues with it often. I often wonder if I would have felt like I had a lot more flexibility, if I bought a bigger, cheaper built lathe.
@@makerunderground any suggestions for a chinese branded lathe? Or just a no name Chinese you mean?
That's really slick! I never would have thought of using brass, but it works fine for something that size and they look nicer than their big steel brothers. Thanks for sharing.
Center drill for a spot 😅 I know where that came from... What some people do (old tool makers and such) is heat the metal up cherry and drop it into boiled linseed oil. It blues things up nice.
Sorry did i miss the name of the Blueing compound???

Thank you it is always good when people can admit that they are human and as humans we make mistakes. I'm sure that a lot of people that make videos also make mistakes that they remove when editing the video.
Had one more thing to say. Most people don't realize they are supposed to lubricate their z screw. If you do, you save the life of your brass nut.
I upgraded my Z to 800mm and dual z screws and I had to take off my stabilizers. It's amazing how much trouble they were causing for me. I learned about this myself and I'm glad you made this.
800 mm?? which printer?? the ender 3 thats insane
Love
Sexiest machinist hammer ever!
Absolutely spectacular product! What exactly are those pins you used in the handle and head?
The pin in the handle is a mosaic pin. They can be made or they can be purchased in any number of designs. I bought both the mosaic pin and the stabilized burl on Etsy. Both typically used in knife handles. The pin for the head I just turned down from solid brass to a snug fit and hammered it to form it in the hole for hopefully a permanent connection.
@@makerunderground @makerunderground I'll have to give Mosaic pins a closer look. I was surprised the design on the face of the pin didn't disappear when you trued things up. Always learning!
That's pretty darn posh looking. The wood handle was a great idea!
What make/model mini lathe are you using?
It's a Proxxon PD250e. It's a nice little machine but if I'm being honest, I come up against a lot of capacity issues with it.
that is a very nice design, i like the one knob for height and position in, well done
this is so cool
bro im on a roll making dial indicators right now! i have like 5 different 3d versions. ima make a video soon. thanks for another version!
I have a follow up video where I make .0005" version
@@makerunderground i seen that, it is awesome!
@@makerunderground we should make it completely 3d and use some 3d printed bearings! lol
I like your tap drill size chart. And a lot of other things. Your fingers look like toes
This might be the best comment I've ever gotten. CZcams's automated responses included "They are!"
🙋 *promosm*
and, indeed, maybe a compliant mechanism, driven by a differential screw, that 'gears down' the travel of the screws, to drive the 'jack'
each of the differential screws needs to have linearity near the level of the desired pseudo-pitch...not so easy, but might improve with some kind of mechanical averaging over a longer thread, with a bit of compliance in the threaded body, to allow a bit of squish..
Jesus
WTF ?

You made the cross slide with steel?
Yes, I replaced the compound slide with a 12L14 steel riser block. Made a huge difference in rigidity. I only put the compound on if I need it. I actually made it on the lathe before I had a drill press or a mill but the acentric drilling was a huge pain in my little four jaw. I made a video about it but it probably doesn't have a lot of specifics in it. If you have a PD250e and would like print for the riser block, let me know and I'll put one together.
Not enough was explained. What was done and why.
This is an older video of mine and I try to be more informative these days. Although, I'm still focused on making videos I think are fun to watch more than what I think people will get a lot of information from. At the end of the day, this is just a hobby for me and those are videos I enjoy making. Sorry if it wasn't what you're looking for. Thanks for the feedback.
Fantastic job mate 👍
Thanks for watching
Turducken of bad ideas, nice.
I was quite proud of that phrase so thanks for noticing.
Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Yes, I always notice and appreciate the bump from your site when you share my videos. At one point you had said I might be able to get a free account on your site. My family was struggling with some things that were keeping me from CZcams and I didn't respond right away, but I'd definitely be interested, if that offer still stands. You can reach me here or at makerunderground@yahoo.com if you need to. Thanks for the share, as always!
👍👍😎👍👍
I gotta ask, is this Joel L from work or has my life been blessed with a second Joel?
@@makerunderground I think you have been blessed with two. I'm the one from Arizona. Since there are very few basements here in the desert, I suspect you're not from around here. And therefore, unfortunately for both of us, we've never had the pleasure of meeting. In the meantime, I'll simply have to enjoy seeing what you are working on from afar.
@@joell439 Cool, Thanks for watching! I'm from Minnesota, the land of lakes and basements!
👍👍😎👍👍
Nice job on the tap removal. I removed broken taps frequently in support of the CNC dept. We found that ball end mills gave us the best results, and tool life.
That makes sense! Get rid of the fragile corners and spread the load across a longer cutting edge. I always hate trying to plunge a ball end mill at work (swiss CNC) due to the clearance at the tip but I was feeding so lightly here anyway, I'm sure you wouldn't even hear it sing. Thanks for the advice!
Ironically, it's the printed plastic nuts that keep the differential bolt from runout.
If you're talking about the leveling plate, there are embedded grade 8 nuts in the printed parts. I made that before I had a lathe or mill at home, but I'd do just about anything to avoid printed threads.
@@makerunderground I'm only talking about the printed nut. Everything else in the mechanism, of course, must be made of metal. This is the only solution that allows you to cheaply get rid of runouts of all kinds.
And now you need some little mini pallet toe clamps instead of all those big monsters! I'll be looking forward to seeing the video for the toe clamps.
I agree completely. I didn't know they were going to be so chunky when I ordered them. I've got some other stuff planned for the near future but we'll have to make some cool clamps eventually.
keep up the good work , all the way from Sudan
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
need to use a spiral point tap!
The holes aren't blind. I had much better luck with the replacement tap I bought. Made it through the other thirty two holes without issue.
