I work at a mens addiction treatment center in Canada 🇨🇦 im now the night watchman(i once was a patient). I love watching both you and Kurtis from CEE Every chance i get it really passes the time away at work. Have a great weekend Matty. Take care!

Marvellous Matty great tool😉😉👍👍 atb Kev (UK)

Nice job Matty, another tool in the armoury. Cheers, Jon

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. But I’d rather watch you 😁

G'day Matty great bit of turning. Left, Right, threads, even up the centre. 😂 Most of all it works. Great looking tool .Good video, keep up the good work.

If they can’t be bothered to respond to you then they sure as hell better not be bothered by your admiration to their build. And if they are let us know, I’ll unsubscribe from them. Great job!

I haven't seen the Make It Extreme version but I like this idea. We sometimes have to use and replace RivNuts in truck bodies and a screw version would be far nicer than the lever version we have in the tool shelf at work.

That's a nice tool to make. Lots of different operations and lots of fun.

Enjoyed the lathe work Matty. Finished result looks great. Cheers Tony

Putting a horn on a jellyfish, that's a new one Matty 😅. Great job, fair play in contacting Extreme Engineering channel. Good to see channel donations in use. Thanks for sharing

In a pinch I've used two washers and an over sized nut on a bolt to crush them down. Put washer, nut, washer on the bolt and thread it into the riv nut. Put it in the hole and tighten it until it's crushed. Having the tools is great though and I used them whenever I had them.

Works well . We have one at work a bit like a pop rivet gun . You edited out all the good bits with the internal thread ! 👍

G'day Matty. It looks great. Lovely job you did there. Good on you for giving credit where due. All the best, Mart.

Always a pleasure to watch. Great job Matty!

Nice tool. Well made. Before I started in machining, I used rivet nuts to attach armor plate to my Jeep using a commercially available tool.

Great video Matty. Some of your close up work takes some beating. Thanks for taking the time

Great job Matty👍🏻

Thanks for another video and tool making session mate. The rivnut spanners a great addition to the workshop. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Great Job Matty. I need to make one for myself.

Another beautiful project, Matty. My local Harbor Freight sells the tool for inserting these threaded inserts, but doesn't sell the inserts...too funny.

Hey Matty, it's a nice tool, once again! I've seen Make It Extreme's channel, he makes huge things, even a tank for his kid! Think he must be a company behind him, he uses a ton of materials, surely not cheap to get either. Thanks again and until next time 👍💪✌

Great build Matty, nice mods as well. Enjoyed the vid, cheers mate!

Nice job 👍👍👍

That looks great Matty. I've modified the design of mine to work that way. I've got all the parts, just need the time to do it. Rivnuts can be a lifesaver sometimes.

Still got a box of 1/4 Whitworth Hank bushes from my apprentice days and just like these rivnuts, they work best with a squirt of mig on them ! I've made a couple of rivnuts in the past to replace a mirror on a tractor cab where the originals were spinning in a box section with a rusted screw seized in them, a piece of EN1A and a straight knurl did the job after a couple of test runs on some scrap, then it was on to Amazon for a pic n mix selection for future snafu's.

You made a ice job of that 👍

You always do a great neat job mate. Very clean1

Great result Matty. Far better than my Chinese made one. Your tig welding skills are definitely better than mine! Cheers Andrew

Looks great Matty!

what a good job mate!!👍👍

G'day Matty awesome tool and great handle idea mate. I get my riv nuts off Ebay can't beat the price of the packs of them.

Great Job Matty love your work

A handy tool to work in tighter spaces. A good tip of the hat to make it extreme. I'm sure others have copied some of your builds, such as the oil can. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful beach at the end

Hi Matty, you could still make and harden a couple of inserts. Suggestion for a great video! No recognition required on my end! God Bless

Nice, I should make one of my own!

Nice job Matty!

Nice looking tool Matty. On my list to get one or make one.

Well done mate

you can always dab a dot of super glue on the outside of the rivnut before crimping if its critical not to spin.

Another cool build. I want to make something like that.

Awesome stuff!

Excellent build Matty, whatz up with the eye, pissed off the lady right,lol 😂. Great video, keep'um coming

On your thread adapter, d/t for the appropriate set screw for your nut-sert. That way when, not if, it breaks its a simple repair.

. might be worth modifying the end to accept the treaded portion ofa high tensile bolt , especially with the smaller inserts

Very absorbing video, thanks Matty. I think I will stick to doing mine with a high-tensile bolt and a couple of greased washers. You always seem to put up a video just when there's a dearth of good content, so thanks for that..

grab a few cards they are cheap enough. just ensure you get the high speed ones class 10 or so. love the content and the aussieness.

Lovely solid device with a beautiful finish! If you use a cordless drill driver rather than impact driver, you can set the torque limit ;-)

Nice one Matty

Great result Matty. ya misses whack ya eye mate ? stop spending money , just ribbin ya ol mate😀

G'day Matty, great job there mate, be sure to last a lifetime (if you don't go all king kong on it 😂) tig welding looked bob on to me too, nicely done and thoroughly enjoyed it

Nice work

good job matty

What a beauty! Edit: The tool of course, too:)

Seems a little extreme 😂

Looks good sir.

Nice job! I like the compact design. I just bought a kit with the two handled crimper. And I used too much force on the first rivnut and broke the pin.... 😊

Great build Matty. Some excellent machining. That's a real heavy duty tool. Some of the commercial versions look very flimsy by comparison. Well done mate. Cheers Nobby

Put a horn on a jellyfish. I haven't used that expression in yonks. Us old fellas have to stick together have yourself a like and a subscription. Guessing you're a Queenslander?

I need to get around to making one of these. I have a bunch of rivnuts that im going to put int my pegboard but I haven't had the time to borrow the tool. Cheers

That pin that pulls the nut into compression needs to be hard because it will streatch and snap as regular as clockwork been there

Great work, Matty! How about putting a little locktight on them? Mike

Between you and Kurtis, I'm gunna end up with a lathe and a mill...... from your point, is it easy to get forgiveness or permission 😂......and that rivnut tool is way better than the hunk of junk I've been using...

Awesome tool Matty. Ideally i guess the threaded stud would be made from high tensile steel. & maybe a dab of grease on the threads each time used. Take care. By the way great video. Steve.

G'day Matty, that's a hell of a good build mate! In those small sizes ie, 5 &6 mm you are very much up against it with what materials you make the puller from. And if you don't actually know exactly what the steel is it's a bit of a roulette wheel as to the results. I would try to use a long high tensile socket cap screw and use that as the puller, threading it into the rest of the puller part and soft soldering the high tensile thread into the body. As you get up to the 8 and even 10 mm sizes you're not as susceptible to the breakage I'd hope, but again you can use the same ht bolt idea again. Your fit and finishes are superb and everything you make just looks right on the money. I think I asked you before but what's the type of the triangular insert you use for your wonderful finish cuts. I've at last found a UK supplier of decent carbide inserts rather than the unfinished or just plain crap Chinese ones you find on eBay . Apparently some of these cheap ones are rejects that have not been formed properly, or even been sharpened at all. No wonder I can't get decent finishes on my work lol. Anyway mate another successful build under your belt! Cheers from the UK Sam

Thx for the vid.

Another beautiful and useful shop made tool. Out of curiosity was there a specific reason for the left hand thread or was it just to make it easier for turning so you start the thread from the back instead of trying to pull up the thread in a tight spot. If this is a tool you might use often you might also want to consider a torque wrench if you don't already have one that way you would be able to work out how much force you actually need to use to get the right amount of squash without risking another snapped thread. It would also give you a consistent way of doing multiple inserts as well.

Enjoyed, nice work! Thanks for your time.

First 3 minutes... Its why i essentially always check my first 5 experimental passes on a certain material of a certain diameter made with a certain cutter, with a micrometer... I establish the whole behaviour of the system on a short section that will be either a special nut or some pin in the far future, once the project is done, before starting the real cuts in material... That allows me to find the best cut range, which then allows me to calculate the job and make say 9 passes with an insert, before flipping the insert in the holder on the fresh side and taking a finishing pass that is the same depth as the normal turning passes, but with adequate feed and speed to result in an even better finish, while granting me the required dimension after the part is cooled... Also, Mat, does the lathe(yours) come with an automatic cutout on the powerfeeds? I always see people fussing about threading, and while i havent used mine, as she is being restored(very slowly), my big lathe has adaptive automatic clutches on the main powerfeed, and through that, on the crossfeed aswell... So once set up so that the clutch doesnt kick out due to cutting forces, the stop can be set anywhere along the ways, and once the carriage bumps into the (hard and short)spring loaded stop, the clutch instantly kicks out, and the carriage moves the stop plunger say a 0.01mm before coming to complete rest, allowing you to back out, back away and trip the powerfeed lever back on for another pass... Sure, Joe Pie method is great, no denial there, but i am wondering do these modern lathes come with carriage clutches for powerfeed? Hell, does even the good old Colchester that Mark own have a clutch for that, as i seem to recall him bemoaning the threading at some point due to pucker factor that the threading to a shoulder incurs...

Damn, that's chunky Matty, works well, but don't drop it on your foot mate..

Hi Mat Nice bit of kit. What's the weight, for I was thinking if one was doing 1mm 1,2 mm0r 1.5 sheet there may be cause for the sheet to flex. i can see sheets above 3mm it would work great as one could torque down the insert with eze

👍

Interesting tool. The book of bullsh*t. Hah ha. I think I will call mine the pad of pain. Because it sure is painful when I screw up. LOL!

Respect to the tool you made and all the work you put into it but why people even bother with tool for these rivet nuts ?Get different sizes of 10.9 strength bolts and nuts and you are good to go in a fraction of price and no time. Place a rivet nut in a hole then add washer ,then hex nut and screw hex bolt in the rivet nut.Hold a hex bolt with a wrench while with another you tighten the nut and thats it. You can use socket and ratchet to hold bolt as well or if you want to make dedicated key for it you can just buy cheap wrench set and weld a hex bolt to it. lidl sold these pliers for and some rivets for 35$,but they were expensive for me so i bought a box of rivet nuts for less than 10$ and i spent another 5$ on bolts.

Matty, what is your compound set for during both left or right hand threading? Do you use it or just the cross slide to advance the cutter?

Gee...What happened to the other bloke?

Your book of B.S isnt a Haynes manual is it? those things are full of utter bull*%@! especially for cars I think you did a nice job of giving credit where its due, so no worries there. You can only do just so much and they did put it out on youtube for people to try. Looks like a useful bit of kit for blind holes and shelving and the like. Thanks for sharing and I will go and have a look at make it extreme

Matty, what happened to your eye? Wife catch you eating her chocolates!👊 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey Matty, what release of your "Book of Bullshit", do you use, I'm still using the V.2022.2

Do you sell this for USA?

Eine Schraube und ein paar Unterlegscheiben hätte es auch getan.

I think that you over-designed it. You could have been setting them long before with nuts, bolts, and washers that I am sure you have in your garage already.

Well done mate
