Another awesome video, I have been watching from your oldest one to now and I'm just in awe of your skill set and attention to details. I have so much to learn and thank you for the way you explain things. From the kiwi.
Ya bastard! No idea how I missed this Max ? Time to settle down after me fish and chip supper, a good shot or 7 of rum, and catch up with your endeavours my mate 👍
Nearly there . I usually film on Sunday but worked on the new shop as their was no wind to blow my tin & insulation around ! I have not even filmed the next episode yet , so i will have to pull my finger out !!!
I have done that job many times by just making 3 transfer screws from socket head screws, just cutting off threaded portions, pointing with a small teat in the center and hacksawing a slot alongside the teat for a screwdriver point to install them with the point of the teat just barely projecting from the surface, then assembling the backplate and giving a whack with a hammer above each screw; Do your drilling and counterboring and Bob's your uncle!
Dang what a cliff hanger ending 😁 can't wait to see next video, these videos keep our attention better than any old tv show, keep up great job sir, hope you get your new shop finished soon, bet its gonna be your new favorite room😉😁
@@swanvalleymachineshop Well sir we wish you best of luck, that roofing isn't too fun, we had that fire back this May and had to replace (3) 26ft long by 3ft wide sheets, anyways, you have a good one and a Merry Christmas too!!!
Gday Max, coming along nicely, funny you say about making a protector for the headstock, I was using the ER-32 collet with a MT3 arbor today, I was looking at how I could make something, haven’t come up with a decent idea yet but I do have a set of spare D1-4 pins, awesome job as always mate,ave a great weekend, cheers
An alternative method to calculate the PCD for "n" equally-spaced holes is to measure the distance "m" across 2 close-fitting screws or pins (each with diameter "d") in adjacent holes and use the formula PCD = (m - d) / sin(180 / n). It's a good idea take the average over a few holes.
That's getting a bit high tech for 3 quick & easy clearance holes !!! If it was for something that had to be dead spot on i would look at alternate methods .
I almost got caught with a Chuck that I measured as 85mm and logic said this should be right, a nice round figure, but it was actually 86mm when I checked the documentation. Which basically says, yet again, RTFM....
Nice Max. Almost there. What's the advantage of the 12 point bolt? I usually see those in higher torque applications. Just going for a higher grade? Best! Eddie
I was going to use a countersunk head cap screw but the allan key size looked a bit small , so the 12 point head bolt was the first thing i found in my bolt tin !
On a good machine you should be able to . Sometimes i use a tool mounted in the taper & go that way . Remember you only have to be under a thou because the rotary table will have at least 1/2 a thou to 1 thou clearance so it can rotate .
Ahhh-haaa !.
The yappy dogs explain how you were able to get the new shop ready so quickly 😂
Lol , your not wrong !!! 👍
Cool project, Max. I was never bored, counter or otherwise.
Lol ! Thanks Rob .

Ya bastard! No idea how I missed this Max ? Time to settle down after me fish and chip supper, a good shot or 7 of rum, and catch up with your endeavours my mate 👍
Sounds good !
Bloody grumpy old men - me included. Great series, looking forward to seeing it working.
Grumpy's ok ! Cheers .
Thanks for the guide/instructions, I got to fit a 250mm Pratt 4 jaw to a D1-4 back plate.
No worries 👍
Looking good Max, on the home stretch. Gary

Enjoying this build!!
Thanks .
can''t wait for the next one

That works as well . Cheers .
Great job keep the good work.
Thanks .
Enjoying and learning, thanks.
No worries !
Like the rotary table centre to spindle method. 👍.
Nice project, thanks for sharing.
It's easy & close enough for rotary table work ! Cheers .
Excellent job max, great video, keep'um coming.
Thanks .
Hi Max. Very nice piece of setting up & machining. Waiting to see it all together & working
Cheers Ted .
Thx for the vid., nice work as always.
Cheers .

Thanks . I am trying to get the roof done before Christmas . Cheers .

thanks Max, almost done.
Nearly ! Cheers .
Nice job ,with a bit of "sods law" thrown in. Stay well
Lol , i had to google that one ! Cheers .
Great job Max, nearly there now. Bearings were a great fit, you'll be glad to see the back of that stringy stuff! Cheers, Jon
The rubbish bins don't weigh much with the string , there is a good side to everything !!!
Nice one, Max. Almost finished.
Nearly there Mate . I need one of your magnetic brooms !!!
@@swanvalleymachineshop I'll be there in 2min :)
Good work Max, I like that you still use a non digital Vernier sometimes
I use them first then the digital callipers , then a mic .
Thanks for sharing 👍
No worries !
Thanks Max!
Cheers Sam . Thanks .

A future project !
I guess I cheat all the time using my clapped out machines 😂🤣😂. Beautiful execution. Cheers mate
Been there done that .... alot !!!

Love your comments on the dogs, I couldn't agree more. Having to concentrate while listening to your neighbors yappy dogs is effing annoying!
You are not wrong there !!!
👍👌
Thanks .
Coming along very nicely, Max. Can you use a faceplate as a sort of spindle protector for ops like this?
Yes , good idea !
I almost got caught with a Chuck that I measured as 85mm and logic said this should be right, a nice round figure, but it was actually 86mm when I checked the documentation. Which basically says, yet again, RTFM....
RTFM if you have one , then measure to check the FM !!!

I was going to use a countersunk head cap screw but the allan key size looked a bit small , so the 12 point head bolt was the first thing i found in my bolt tin !
@@swanvalleymachineshop lol, "first one in the bin", that was my next guess.
I’ve never tried it, but can you really count on the outside of the spindle, or quill, as being accurate to the inside of the taper?
On a good machine you should be able to . Sometimes i use a tool mounted in the taper & go that way . Remember you only have to be under a thou because the rotary table will have at least 1/2 a thou to 1 thou clearance so it can rotate .
how about using a small faceplate or catch plate as spindle protector if available
Yes that would work .
I hold that if your dog is the size of a cat, get a cat.
Yep !!!
Why didn't you use your x&y axis to center your part than O your x&y than do your bolt hole circle
Because i do not have a DRO .
