Very inspirational. Thank you for showing what can be done, including some nice milling on the Lathe.

[@chuirios365]

I love it! Very simple design, easily made components. Thanks so much!

Alan, thanks for these useful tips. Always refreshing and with attention to detail.

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks For your comment Pete

Hi Alan. I’ve watched a few of your videos & I find you inspire me to make things in my new workshop that I would have attempted. I also thought the tip for milling in a bench drill really clever indeed. I really hope you keep on making them. Thanks

[@ijohnson9088]

Sorry I meant it to say (wouldn’t have attempted)

[@josezepeda7198]

Just enjoyable to watch a true master . Gracias for sharing your video

[@tomappleton1223]

Can’t wait to make this

[@irish-simon]

who needs a cnc when you have the skill to make the tools you need
great job and great video

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks

[@keepsmiling7172]

Thank you sir for the informative video ❤

[@trafalgar22a8]

First time on your channel. 'll be back.

[@ARIFINLATHE]

Thaks about your information father...❤🇮🇩🤝

Alan, thanks for sharing this video! I always learn something new from your videos, because your solutions are both innovative and elegant. Keep up the good work!

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks John

Alan loved the step bystep way you went about this it shows what can be achived without a huge great milling machine of expensove castings i plan on making a smaller version at some point for my simat Nigel

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks Nigel
I have a 4 jaw chuck to repair then I will be working on a few mods for the radius cutter.

[@gagasmancave8859]

i will be waiting to see what the mods are

Very nice tool, First time I’ve it used for concave cutting. Cheers Peter

[@davedigs]

brilliant very well made shows what can be done on the lathe

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks David

[@phobos977]

Piece of art, masterwork.

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks Alan

[@tomherd4179]

Very impressed with your work holding on the lathe. I have made a similar one, except I have a mill so I did not need to hold work like you did. But I learn and now have a few extra tricks for my lathe as well. Wanted to point out two things; first, mine like yours requires the turning to be far enough away from the chuck to insure no chuck interference (this has caused me to sometimes secure the work rather poorly), second, my lathe chuck is mounted by screw threads, so running in reverse is extremely dangerous.
Overall very good job!!

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks Tom

[@FishmanEricRussell]

Love making what you need instead of just buying it

[@danmoreton1788]

Impressive project. Thanks fromm Angola, NY

[@MegaChekov]

well done thanks for sharing all the best from John in Texas

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks John

[@brentmcfadden944]

Great commercial and show!

[@ernestw1]

Excellent video, for once someone that actually speaks , well done form New Zealand

[@ledsalv1]

Muito interessante seu projeto, vou fazer um para facilitar meu trabalho. Obrigado por compartilhar.

[@enotsengineering]

Obrigado por assistir

[@koksalcelik75]

bunu herkes yapıyor kafamda iki fonksiyonu birden yapacak bir topuz aparatı var ama yapması sıkıntılı bana yardım edecek birileri ve sponsor lazım

[@ياربيارب-ص1ظ]

Very good

[@fasialsartaj3999]

Great jod sir

[@airrifletech8085]

Get a collect holder for the mill tools, your methods are very dangerous and dimensions / finish must be poor due to the chatter and play. However well done I like it

[@sahibbhullar9838]

Good made

[@user-cq1fv6uf8c]

👍👍👍

[@derwissenskiosk8041]

Very nice designe... :D

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks

[@dasharathpatil273]

Good

[@ronaldnickell6110]

Why not just put a cut mark on the side, and a 0 mark on the sliding piece. Then all you need do, is mark on the center for each inch of ball size, from the zero mark?

[@enotsengineering]

Hi Ronald
I could do that if I used the same tool tip and tool holder. As I have different tool holders the tool position changes, so the marks would be wrong.

[@redataleb9420]

Cool !!! can be this used to make WHEELS ??? thanks

[@enotsengineering]

Hi it can put a radius on the outside of a wheel watch next weeks video
Alan

[@user-df7yw2rw9g]

Окей👍

[@JohanDegraeveAanscharius]

Not right, if it falls out you have tampered with it

[@malianansur3337]

aku menyukai video yoube.
sangat suka sekali
menyukai. Enak tenang nuntunya...oki...

[@enotsengineering]

Terima kasih

[@talhabhatti4851]

You are garet

[@سلامالساعدي-ق7ل]

روعه جيد جدا

[@bobuk5722]

EEEK! Never, ever, use a drill chuck with a milling cutter. Drills push back into the chuck as they cut, end mills pull out. Nothing to do with the chuck holding taper. It's potentially dangerous, damaged work, damaged operator if cutter escapes. BobUK.

Very confusing.. all over the place

[@csonracsonra9962]

Go to the channel ( this old Tony ) much better way to maker one. And a better one at that
