- In this video watch me make some T-Nuts on a manual milling machine as my very first project on the mill. I only recently got this milling machine and prior to this have Zero experience on one of these machines so I picked an easy first project.
If you enjoyed watching me machine these T-nuts then please consider Subscribing to the channel. It's completely free and may help you out as I share by journey on the Lathe and now the Mill as well.

Hey Joe, I work and think strictly in imperial and I know your concern, but the simple conversion factor is 1 inch equals 25.4 mm, hence multiply imperial numbers by 25.4 and divide inches by 25.4. e.g. 8 mm /25.4= 0.314" or 5/16" (0.3125)x25.4 =7.9375mm. I often do a whole simple drawing like that, pretty easy once you get used to it. Just convert to your favourite realm.
Great shout out for Ade, he is one of my favourites. Congratulations on the subs, they will come. Enjoyed the vid, cheers mate!
Thank you for the conversion advise, yeah he has a great little channel over there. Glad you enjoyed the vid many more to come 👍
Well done mate!!
Thanks Nick
Before you fully tighten the vice, use a mallet to tap the work down firmly onto the parallels. It might help reduce those small errors you noted. Are you wearing safety glasses? When the chips start flying, you really should. If like me, you need glasses to work, Specsavers supply safety glasses with prescription lenses at a very reasonable cost.
Yeah good bit of advise there for tapping the work down. When I was climb milling the chips were be thrown away from me. Conventional milling thou they flying straight at me so has holding a Perspex lid near the work piece haha
I've only just bought a warco wm180, I now have strange yearnings for another big green machine....
Yeah that’s how it goes you get a lathe and only naturally you progress to a Mill
Just subbed, first thumb's up.
Well done :)
Thank you Adam and welcome to the channel hope you enjoy the content and find it useful

I just like to see how other people fair, when starting out.
I was lucky enough to be a member of a local model engineering club, when I started out.
No CZcams videos back then :), I probably wouldn't have had such a steep learning curve :)
I found Phillips cold bluing liquid, a good thing for protecting bare metal parts, from corrosion.

Cheers Adam I’ll check that make of cold blue out. Yeah CZcams is great for beginners like me get to watch experienced people like this old Tony and see how they do it. Really helps out 👍
Just a? Do u think it easier to just start off by saying point... if there’s a zero or naught???
Good point there haha thanks for the advise :)
The roughing end mill did a lovely job. Can you tell me where you sourced it from?
Enjoyable project. Well done. 👏👏👍😀
So the End mill I bought off of eBay. It’s a Widia 14mm carbide roughing end mill. Yeah seemed to do a great job. Glad you enjoyed.
@@MachiningwithJoe Thank you Joe. I will look for the same or similar.
My master in the apprenticeship would have knocked the caliper around my ears if I had marked out with the caliper - really.
And yes, millimg makes a mess, unbelieveable how far the chips will fly :-)
Haha good thing I’m all alone in my workshop :). Yeah been finding chips everywhere
@@MachiningwithJoe Yes, sometimes it is good when nobody is watching what you are doing ;-)

Use oddlegs to mark out, NOT a Vernier Caliper, that is a precision measuring instrument.
With that setup you could have milled the shoulders out in one go, but not climb milling, you would have had a stack up. Please do not climb mill until you are more competent, there are times where you will need that, surface finish etc, just wait a bit.
Hi dr1verman,
Great bit of advise still learning what this mill is capable of so not sure how much material I can remove in a pass. Sorry about the callipers too, used this method a few times now and picked up a bad habit will try avoiding this in future.
Hope you enjoying my content however all the best.
