Did you happen to have a5-40 LH tap? or did you buy it for this job? I have know about fixtures and used them all my life. However....since I started watching you build these models I look at fixtures in a whole different light. You sir are the Fixture Guru! That follow rest is pure genius. Bravo Zulu!

Another fantastic tutorial from the master. Thanks from Australia

Thanks for another great video. God should have had someone like you around when he was designing human beings ❤

Nice to watch somebody, who knows how to do things. Great tricks.

This is not an ellipse.

if you don't want to pay the silly high price of anchor lube (in the EU it's 27eur/8oz bottle), just use any brand of canned shaving cream... it works even better and makes the same wonderful mess and only costs 3 buxx a can

Hey Joe, great video. I'm new to machining, does disengaging the half nut need to be on the line? Or can the half nut be disengaged with your eyes closed?

👍 great idea making the new lug. I probably would have made it a press fit and had another mess.🙂

Man it seems like there is a lot more porosity to that surface than there was when you initially milled it! I kept thinking it was dirt. That was certainly an elegant solution to the misalignment of the lead screw. 👍👍

Lots of bubbles in that casting.

Almost all of my repairs are better than the original. However, I have also created chain-reaction breakages from overbuilding the replacement parts.

Much more betterer now. Do the people at PM Research act on any issues you find with the drawings or the castings? Regards, Preso

Another great video from the master thank you Joe .

Wow better than the original cast boss.. The brass nut insert looks awesome !

Hi Joe, can you please go over the advantages and disadvantages of using a center drill vs a spot drill when starting a hole, either in the mill or lathe (or drill press)?

The best outake ever!

OK Joe, my hat is now getting vertically challanged and I conceed that your solution justifies more self pride than welding a blob onto the casting and milling it back to be dimensionally true. I am inspired as usual.

Man, that porosity is just gruesome.

I haf no idea my spring followers were reversable until this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

I’ve learnt so much from you Joe keep up the good work.

Nice attention to detail as usual but it's what we expect from you Joe. Thanks for sharing. J

Very nice.

Interesting fix. I have seen a number of old full sized machines and this feature is generally not cast in the body but separate. I have also seen a hole in the base to accept the lead screw for clearance. Kudos on a great fix but also a fix making the model more realistic. Nice Job Loe.

cool video

Love your videos Joe, been with ya for a while.. Keep em coming! I started a DIY channel about a year ago and you been a great help in a lot of things I do! 👍👍

That was cool.

I'm a bit surprised you didn't drill that out before screwing it in to avoid the hole in the base, given it was possible once it was a separate part.

impressive, as usual. Cheers!

Beautiful! Work of art.

Hello Joe. What would we do without fixtures and jigs in our trade. Retired now and still every once in a while I still use them on a friends lathe and mill. I really like this one for threading I am going to make one for his Bday. Well my friend, You've done it again. Nicely I might add. See you next post eh.

That's indeed a very creative solution. And you're right. The repair is better than the original.

I think you always make them better when you build them. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Wonderful! By far better than the original.

B E A utiful work Joe. Thanks for the video. Regards from Wales

"Doing what you can, with what you got." Great looking solution to that issue! 👍

Extra work yes - but, for sure this is definitely way more sophisticated now and super job on the knee leadscrew - great result Joe. :)

i love it when a plan comes together... cheers ben.

It does seem that someone in the drawing office didn't do their homework on component relationships before signing the drawings off.

Put on 6” casters (scale) 😊

Joe Your the “Daddy !”

Looking for suggestions on mounting solid brass round stock on rotary table to mill flats for a decagon???

Maestro 😊

Joe, You Are The Man......thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Paul in Central Florida

Fantastic stuff as usual, thanks for your efforts.

going to have a miniature Kurt mill vise video?

Thanks for the vid Joe , my big take-away is that phenolic support for the follow rest, brilliant, as most jobs are tiny like yours and simplicity is golden! Cheers!

Great work as always, but how did you create the accurate radii on the plug.? It feels like a very long setup in a rotary table just to allow ease of with the pocket..

✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼

the porosity of that aluminum is really bad
