Hi Michael. Yes that is very true mate. Plus most expect Chinese prices for one 1 off parts. Cheers 🍻

Hi Kevin. Yes UA-cam have been sticking it to us smaller creators. Many of my subscribers don’t get a notification when I post. Sometimes I wonder if I could even be bothered anymore. Hey your motor sounds good I’ll check out your video progress 👍🍻

They are ok, but you do loose height with longer tools (risk crashing into vice / fixtures etc). Double arm is better, but harder to fix if there is a problem. 👍

Hello 👋. No I don’t think it would big enough for that 😝

G’day Robert. I think the weaving makes the differential work harder to prevent one wheel from spinning 😵‍💫

Thanks Matty. As an old “Truckie” I bet you heard those supercharged 2-stroke diesels before 😜

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering yer I’ve drove a couple to

G’day Preso. No the grey Fergusons are a little underpowered and a bit light to pull at this weight. Most of these tractors were 50-90 horsepower. Good to hear from you mate cheers 🍻

No they don’t unfortunately. Most are fantastic plastic these days. Cheers Aaron

G'day Max and thanks for checking in. Yes those were days mate. They had similar exercises to complete in the navy training also. Sadly, much of the apprenticeship training has changed today. We tend to get them on machines sooner rather than later and make small projects they get to take home. Cheers, Aaron.

Hey Max 👋🏼👋🏼 That would have been me, in about March/ April 1967 ( along with 20 other hairy-arsed 1st year snots 🤣🤣🤣). And that was after a coupla months on hand tools … great Apprentices school for the fitters & turners ( that’s what we were back then). I was the ‘last’ of the five-year apprenticeships… but I got it commuted to four and 1/2 ( for good behaviour 🤣🤣). Regards Robert

G'day Murray. Thanks for tuning in mate. Yes it's beautiful piece of kit with a hefty price tag too. I'm lucky enough to use it. Cheers mate, Aaron.

Thanks Anthony. It was fun to make. I did have some “Pucker” factor on the first part lol 😂

just had a quick look on fusion its called "x axis minimum limit" in the configuration drop down

Hi David. Thanks for the tip mate. I’ll look into it. I did use the dedicated Autodesk ST20Y post processor. The week earlier it used a Y position to drill those crankshaft holes. Cheers Aaron 👍🍻

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering for the hole in the crankshaft, did you have your WCS y axis pointing in the same axis as the hole. hope that makes sense. that would use a y move. usually better to have the x axis in line with something like that just because you have more travel in the x axis. depends on part size obviously.

@@davidpearson3146 G’day David. WCS was set up as a standard lathe job. Z axis on centreline of chuck and X axis perpendicular to the chuck face. I just selected the hole centre. TBH I was surprised it worked so easily. It was different to how I’d pick a positioning move when using the 5 axis mill trunnion. Cheers 🍻

G’day Matty. Thanks for watching mate. Yes very spoilt wasn’t I to have the use of that big lathe hey. Cheers mate 👍🍻

Hi Andrew. You can use the tools stationary to drill on the centre line. However, having them as live tools allows you spot, drill and chamfer off the centre line. The lathe has an additional Y axis.

G’day Glen. Good to hear from you mate. I hope you and the family are doing well up there mate. Cheers 🍻

G’day Bill. Sorry it’s not me mate. However, one of our TAFE apprentices called Trent does play a lot of golf ⛳️ . Cheers 🍻 Aaron

Hey mate. Thank you, yes the apprentices are very excited to make this project. Hopefully I’ve given them a good head start. Cheers, Aaron 👍🍻

G’day Peter. Always appreciate you stopping by and providing feedback. Yes that 4000RPM spindle clamp I programmed was a bit excessive. Should have left it at 2500rpm. I agree, that 0.2mm/rev part off really launched that part 🚀 lol. Greedy bastard aren’t I. 😂 I’ll give you call soon, got some information I need to tell you. Cheers 🍻 Aaron

Thank you Daniel much appreciated mate. Cheers 🍻

G'day Stevo. This worked for a little while, but I eventually bought a proper oil skimmer from Arty over at LiveTools. I've done 2 videos on skimmers I'll attach the links here as it may help you make your decision mate. Cheers, Aaron. Belt Skimmer here: ua-cam.com/video/nGFWTjJuYIc/v-deo.html Disc Skimmer here: ua-cam.com/video/9YX2b788jFA/v-deo.html

G’day Peter. Thanks mate. Yes very spoilt. That MM2 has a 4th axis and through spindle cooling too. Once I prove the program I run 100% rapids, but if it’s the first cycle for the day I’ll slow it all down just to make sure it’s all good. I agree mate, a CNC lathe is a whole different beast. You don’t want to smash that turret. Talk soon mate. Aaron

G’day Robert. You can get it fitted, but none of the TAFE machines have it on them. Thanks for watching mate. Cheers Aaron

Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you so much ☺️

G'day Murray. I appreciate the feedback and totally agree with you. I should have done the mirror option, but only realised this after I made it and tried it out. As a teacher we are always time poor, chasing our tail, and laziness got the better of me. Cheers, mate.

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Your students are very lucky to have you as a tutor. The internet likewise.

I was going to ask the same question! Of course, I only thought of it because I got to see this version first.

G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. Having some fun as always. Cheers, Aaron.

Thanks Guy. I have actually put a few video over the past month or two. But yes, I am a slack bastard! Cheers, Aaron.

Thanks JR really appreciate the support mate 🙏

Thanks brother 🙏🍻

Hello 👋. Yes I plan to show more of this build. I might also cover some manual machining in my Aaron Engineering channel. Cheers 🍻 Aaron

Thank you so much for the kind accolades. I really do love teaching the students. I hope they remember the lessons taught on their journey through life. Cheers, Aaron.

Ha ha ha, yes Marco. I was still running parts in the ST20Y so I fired up the TL2. Cheers mate 🍻

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering 🥰

Hi Douglas. I should have cut that keyway on the ST20Y, but didn’t have a 3mm end mill on hand. Will have to cut manually in my mill with a dividing head at home. Fml 🤦‍♂️

Hi Kevin. Always good to hear from you. Thank you, I appreciate the feedback mate. Hopefully I get more shop time in the coming months. Cheers Aaron 👍🍻

Thanks Adam. Yes I agree with you, it’s a very cool project mate. Cheers 🍻

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the support and feedback mate. Cheers Aaron 👍🍻

Hey Peter 👋. Thanks mate, it’s a cool little project. In hindsight I should’ve machined this part the opposite way, large dia and hole first, flip part into machined soft jaws and then the OD turn steps and face. However as I’m only machining 10 pairs, I didn’t want to waste a set of soft jaws. Oh course and you know me I used Confusion CAD CAM. You would’ve written the program manually at the controller and still beaten me lol 😂 Cheers Peter🍻

@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Got to ❤️ that ConFusion 360 👌😀 I must admit I would be struggling to write a Y Axis part by hand ?? Yes I still think I am running a Manual Lathe and programming everything by hand 😁 Looking forward to watching the whole series. Definitely looks like an interesting project to share 👍

Thanks for the support love 💕

G’day Matty and thank you. This is the one I was telling you about. Only 2 more weeks to go and hopefully get some more free time to work in my shop

G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. I hope lift my game soon, as I start to get a some free time and able to make more video content. Cheers, Aaron.
