Hi there Tuamos
I would like to comment on you project but your video says it's private
Ooops. Sorry.Quote:

Tuomas, thank you for your excellent videos. In 3.jpg, what does the yellow tube to the drill press head convey? I assume coolant/cutting oil, but I've not seen the setup before!
Thank you very much!Quote:

No. There's an support for cutters. Coolant flows through it. If used twistdrills, there's no hole in the adapter, so coolant doesn't come trough.I have used coolant directly from the hose with twistdrills, if necessary. Usually only when drilling austenitic materials.Quote:

Tuomas,
This is excellent design and fabrication work. You make it look a lot easier than it is and so very encouraging for the rest of us. I like your artistic creations near the end of the video.
Thank you for the posting,
Paul Jones
Thank you very much Paul!Quote:

Great tool, and great documentation. I think this is an example of a tool that will be widely-built by people reading your post.
Some other nice picks from this week: a Mini Bulldozer by beast7018, Alignment Cones by Frank S, a 4-Position Lathe Stop by oldtimer, a Lantern Vise by C-Bag, and a Helix Cutting Technique by rgsparber. We also saw three different boring bars by Frank S, including a Grooving Bar, a Different Style of Boring Bar, and a 1.75 x 12" Boring Bar.
Tuomas - you'll be receiving a $25 online gift card, in your choice of Amazon, PayPal, Giftrocket, or bitcoin. Please PM me your current email address and gift card choice and I'll get it sent over right away.

New you were going to win, Congrats
congrats on your tools
Really nice vice congrats
Thank you very much mates!
How on earth do you bend that 5mm plate so easily please?
Nice build. Thanks for breaking it down in your video as well. I am also impressed with your grinding skills too. Very nice. Keep up the good work.
I used 10mm bending radius. That's the reason.Quote:

So, i have plenty of possibilities to train my cutting skills. :)
Attachment 22565
Why not teach them about the 42mm sheets.
The bender looks quite light , is it?
Thanks
You definitely make it look easier than what it is. I was in the military for 20 years in the fabrication shop, I understand completely how the designers/engineers are. A pain in the rear, but you can sure pick up some good skills.
Awesome video, full of tips, tricks, and knowledge!
Sorry my late reply. Somehow missed these comments.Quote:

So. It is what it is...
Thanks you very much!Quote:

" Trick " is a piece of axle that's bend to 90 degree angle.
Clamp one end to the vise, and tighten other end to the chuck.
Then tighten vise to base.
I also made some improvements to this.
Attachment 38933
Piece of angle iron is used as a longer lower jaw.
Clamped it to the pipe vise, then i weld it from both sides to lower part of the vise.
Then i made the opening for the upper / sliding jaw with angle grinder. This way it comes straight.
Before welding, i ensured that new longer jaw, and the bottom of the vise are at same level.
This longer jaw gives better support, and it works specially well when used in drilling.
Attachment 38934
Centering is fast and result reliable: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=433030261135150
PS. Paint, " lightning " is made by pouring solvent on top of the dry base coating, than solvent is spread by spraying it with compressed air. Top coating is spread on top of solvent, before it evaporates.
That was just one experiment. Result seems to last, and paint stays well.
Repost attachments please, they're not coming through.

So there's a short clip linked from my FB page.
It just shows drilling through centered pipe.
