With my 35 years of experience as a CNC metalworker, I would like to comment on this video, but I am speechless, wow.

The longer format videos are more enjoyable, see more/learn more great work 👍

I've also been having trouble with those edge finders. To be honest, you can't beat the Starret ones. Good work again mate. Cheers, Aaron.

I am always impressed by the quality of work you do. Wish I was half as good a machinist as you.

Wow, very complex. . super cool it moves so smoothly. . .can't wait to see it in use. .It'll be amazing. . Great Job.

Another nice video Matty, I am enjoying this build. Cheers SteveO

Your finished items always look awesome.

Fabulous work Matty. Really enjoying this build!

Looking awesome Matty, lots of details and order of operations, well done. Can't wait to see it in action. Cheers.....

That is quite a technical build Matty, very nice work indeed. I have one of those Vertex edge finders, and I've just about had enough of it, so I ordered a little electronic version off Aliexpress today, reasonably cheap at under A$15 delivered, I'm hoping it makes life a bit easier. 👍

That is bloody brilliant - you must be well happy with that. Perfect fit and operation. That kind of result on a complex assembly only comes as a result of a lot of thought, care and attention. Very cool. Also - I never thought to attach a dial indicator to a boring head like that - so that's another tip in the toolbox. Cheers and best wishes!

A fearless mover of metal 👍

coming together nicely Matty . great work as usual. Cheers Ade.

Brilliant machine work, Matty. A lot of work just figuring out how to work hold and machine some of those angles and radii. Well done!

Love this series. Also wanted to add that your camera work and editing is quite good. I enjoy seeing you improve as a machinist, and a youtuber.

Looking good . Fiddley bloody thing isn't it ! 👍

It looks awesome Matty. Looking forward to seeing the completed tool. I’d say your getting pretty good at this machining caper. 👍🇳🇱

G'day Matty, I've stopped this at the point you were talking about your vertex edge finder. I have the exact same tool and it's never bloody repeated properly ever. Ive ended up doing it ten, twelve times sometimes to try to average out where an edge is. So much so that I've bought one of the beeping, at touching the part, it's just a simple continuity circuit, only about £10 not one of the £100 ruby stylus ones I add lol. But it's fully ground and I've measured it with a mic and it's accurately parallel and I'm confidant it should work. Not tried it out yet but it must be more consistent than the Vertex edge finder. I'll watch rest of the build now lol. Watched it all now! Matty you're a true craftsman mate, that thing looks bloody awesome! Don't worry about a couple of little balls ups, as the old boys used to say if you're not making mistakes you're either making nothing or you're learning! Looking forward to seeing the boring facing head run next week. I think I'm not going to try to make one as I was going to scale it down to 50 or 60 mm in dia, but looking at what you did this week, I think some parts would be very , very fiddly to make. And a full size one is just too big for my little milling head

Great job Matty. We like the long Vlogs. Well I do anyway! Looks real nice. ATB regards from the UK

Good one, Matty. I think you have good reasons to be happy about the result.

So close to the end. I can’t wait to see this in action. You can hear it in your voice how you like that mill and the improvements you’ve made to it.

absolutely immaculate Job Matty👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 atb Kev

G'day Matty. Excellent work so far. Should be great to see this tool in MattyAction 😊😊😊 👍🏻 👍🏻

That looks brilliant. Would cost a fortune to buy one like that. Steve.

well we are getting close to another weekend time to watch another video

👍Good one Matty, next week eh? looking forward to it. ATB mate. Cheers.

very good job matty..thanks for your time

Hi Matty, it is getting complicated, but I'm still hanging in there with you - LOL. Coming together nicely. Regards, Dave

Looking good there Matty. On the home stretch now. I know that feels good. 👍

Nice one Matty 👍👍 Definitely nitriding. All the best, Paul

Hi, Matty: Beautiful work and a pleasure to watch. She's a beauty! Looking forward the next op. Hope all is well. Cheers, mate.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing…

The machining is the easiest part, how to fixture and determine the order of operations is the hard part. Very nice work Matty. Thanks very much for sharing my friend. All the best to you and yours.

brilliant work.. looks like a fun project.. would love to give this a try

Looks beautiful !

"That's an achievement. Ehh!" You're selling yourself short again Matty, that's totally amazing. All of that in a week?? Fantastic stuff.

Looking pretty fancy mate nice work

😃👏👏👏👏👏👏 Robert

Matty that there boring head is coming together very nicely i like the way you go about making the various parts required looking at each then working out your plain of attack to get it done what you have so far seems to work really well and looks smooth as Cheers Mate 👍

One hell of a project, Matty. You can be really proud of your results.

I'm really enjoying this project Matty. Great to see how you're tackling each part. Lots of useful tips. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Nobby

G'day Matty busy week for you mate you got a fair bit done good to see I'm interested to see how it works it looks like it has few more features than the one I paid a packet for from H&F . Yeah those DRO's are magic I'd be lost without mine now. Another top video cheers mate.

Its a big unit, cant wait to see it in action.👍

Cheers Matty, pretty darn close to finishing it up. 👍💪✌

Happy days and g'day Matty, another belter mate, well done over coming the hiccups, it's reassuring to see it happens to all of us, thanks for sharing buddy and best wishes to you and yours

Very nice...Thank You...

Luv ya work Matty.

G'day Matty a very interesting video. This project is coming along nicely 👌

You can be proud of yourself mate 👏

Job well done Matty this project is really coming along nicely. Looking forward to to seeing it in action next week

Thursday night let's see what Matty has been up to.

Coming together nicely Matty, great video, keep'um coming.

wow just wow you did great it looks wicked

Looking good Matty. Bet your frustrated your gear hasn't arrived.

bloody first! aha

This is a really interesting build! Good on you mate!

Hey Matty, nothing to complain about there! It's all good. Have you checked to see how much the nitriding would cost? Asking for a friend 😅

i have one of those edge finders and youre right they are not consistant at all

Matty, please do me a favour, remove the laces from your hoodie, or at least tuck them away when machining🤪. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

G'day Mate, that's a great milling machine. I should've got something like that and not the junk I actually bought. What model is your mill, Matty? BTW, nice sharp bits as well.

I don’t know why I want a lathe and mill, I would get so mad at myself and start throwing parts into the neighbors yard. I don’t even like some of my neighbors.

G'day Matty, I'm curious as to why you do lots of passes with a small end mill rather than less passes with a larger end mill? Is it simply because changing end mills takes so long?

Is there a lot of mass on the one side of the boring head. If anyone wants to put me right, I will understand. I'm still enjoying it.

Listen....

First to comment 😂

just curious why you insist on milling all your material that you could just cutting the majority out with the band saw
