I’ve been a machinist for 18 years and I still love it. That KBC is a really good little mill. Love the videos sir!

As always, Adam's fit and finish are just beautiful. A pleasure to watch him work and see the finished product emerge.

I applaud standing! You will hardly find such simple and excellent content. Well done, boy. No show-offs, no extra words, everything is clear! Bravo!!!

Love the silent intro sequence Adam. Pictures speak volumes.

Adam, you made that drilling and tapping process for the T nut look so easy. In my experience, its always done with effort and with some trepidation ! Thanks for the video.

Wow, awesome generosity from viewers. Ime sure everything will be cherished and put to good use.

Superb work as usual. The Precision Matthews lathe always looks super concentric and stable. The effort you put into setting it up has produced dividends - the finish on the work pieces is outstanding!

Nice work, beautiful photography, class act. I am planning to get one for my old French lathe, now I know what to do. Thanks.

You give meaning to the phrase competent machinist.

Excellent vid. Professionally filmed as always.

Adam, I found out that my Multifix size E couldn’t stop rotating until I put the dowel pin. I used a M6 stud bolt as a dowel pin, as the fit was really tight and made it removable, which turned out years later to be the salvation for mounting my recently acquired toolpost grinder. Your work quality makes me feel ashamed of mine’s!

Lovely work as always Adam and excellent filming

I think it's great to see a project of you making something. This is where you shine! It's like classic Abom. Luv it! Nice work, and the explanations are simple and clear. Nice narrative. Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for the show Adam

Thanks Adam .. Best to you and Abby .

Quite a beautiful delicate work,Adam.Thank you.

turned out spot on Adam. beautiful finish as always

Abom + multifix is a recipe for a banger video 👌

Adam your personal honor and commitment to excellence is always evident. Great work; every .003 thou counts! Eric

Great work there Adam!

High quality video, professionally shot as always.

Loved watching this.

Query, why did you not clamp your compound base directly to your milling table, sitting on your parallels? Pulled down as like it would be in your lathe.

Well done sir ❤

Brilliant Ricky!

I reckon a new lathe is always exciting!

Wow great work old guy!

Eye candybar, great to watch , even theraputic for me ❤ Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts

Nice work Adam !!

Интересный и познавательный формат роликов!

G'day Adam.. excellent video on doing the mods for the toolpost assembly

Beautiful work my friend....as usual.

Very nice and nice clean work

thanks of enjoying another Saturday night

Thanks, Adam (and Abby! 😀 ). Happy Fourth!

Happy 4th of July Adam and to your loved ones😊

This is real technologi..good❤

you just reminded me of TOT Great job mate

nice job adam & abby !👍👍

@abom79, That was an Awesome Video Adam! As soon as I get my Precision Matthews 1660TL I will be hiring you to perform the exact same job for me. Great Job!

Facinating!!

I must not have been listening too closely at the beginning I thought that was for your precision matthews until the very end

Excellent work and very instructive. Thanks.

Wow Adam.... I'm green with envy of your shop, tools and knowledge. I've always loved to play with the shop lathes and mills at work... but I'm retired now with no shop. I''m sure glad I've got you to keep me interested in it Buddy! Cheers! Happy 4th of July !

perfeitissimo amei .muito lindo magnifico..super profissional.parabéns.sucésso e abraços..

Thanks for sharing.

Inspiring. Always a pleasure watching your craftsmanship.

Great work as always !!!

It will eat on you when measurements are so close you will break it down and make it rght. Awesome Adam

Opinions are like assholes everybody has one. GREAT VIDEO Adam

Interesting content. Super filming. Thanks!

Very good

Man I love me a big ol tap

You get all the fun jobs. Thanks for the video.

Adam's new ASMR channel :)

Beautiful work as usual thank you for sharing

Appreciate the good/detailed videos. I went to Walter's site to look at the external threading tool style you were using (vertical insert) and they don't show it as an item they carry. Maybe I just can't find it. Do you have a link for the external threading holder and inserts?

Great video! Interesting point about the 0.003" off parallel. I wonder if the dovetail slides are also off parallel, or if they are true to the bottom. I would have checked that before deciding how to do the top with the new tee nut. I also wonder if this technique might be advantageous when mounting other types of tool posts. I designed my own with a broad, circular base that straddles the slot in the compound but now I am wondering if this mounting technique might make it more rigid.

Well done 😅

Nice job as always 👍. I have watched loads of your videos and I really like you watch. Can I ask what watch it is ?

Perfect timing for me. I’m changing the tool post on my Grizzly to a better quick change. The T nut doesn’t fit, so I think that I have to make a new one. Do you think that I’m on the right track?

All you do, tools are cutting like its in butter. Amazing

Hope you stamped it A BOMB. Really nice work.

Nicely done!!

Well before decking the top surface of that compound and T- Nut, I would set that compound on your AA Starrett surface plate and run an indicator all over the top side to see if it's parallel with the base.

Nice little job thanks Adam

❤ Love it Adam.

Nice job, agree with the shimming to get it level with the existing surface, as you have to assume the compound is probably in line when installed on the owners lathe. cheers, Dave

Станки конечно обалденные..

So what angle do you set the compound to before you pin the multifix tool post holder? 30 degrees for threading?

Good job. Could you give a demonstration of how to use this. Thank you.

This doesn’t require a thrust bearing like the bigger one on the pacemaker?

I'm suspecting that the 0.003" [0.0762mm] was well within the manufacturing tolerance for the compound slide housing. that's seldom a truly precision ground surface. I'd be checking the bottom surface of the rotating base first a little bit more for parallelism and flatness, as that's a machined surface and can be slightly out since it wasn't ground. Only after I was sure about the base would I go after the top, checking my setup as I go along. Tolerances stck up (add up) so a couple of items being off by a few 0.0002" or so, plus some gapping, can add up to a couple of mils (thousandths of an inch). Basically, it boils down to how close do you want / need the final result to be, and how much careful attention to detail you are willing to spend to get there.

Thinking about the front to back 0.003" error, could that not be due to the gib tapers?

Nice job thanks for sharing

Nice video. I'm going to need to do that for a new lathe soon. What size Multifix tool post do you have on that PM 1660-TL lathe you used in the video? I'm about to order the 1640-TL, and it should take the same size. (Unfortunately, PM doesn't have the measurements I need in their manual or on the web site, and I'd like to order the toolpost when I order the lathe rather than waiting until I can measure it.)

Nice product placement.

Great video, great precision!! 🙂

Thank you very much... Lots of great info for me to use

Hi Adam What do you think of a thread micrometer?

Hi Adam, great video as per usual. Have you seen these fractal vices? It seems to me this tool would be in demand if someone was making them at a very high level of quality. Adam Savage recently showed one on his channel from China. I thought of your exacting practices with machining and you would be perfect to make one of these thing of the old patent and it make for some great videos.

You should really post a toolbox tour video, I’m curious to see what different types of tools you have

nice hammer

Since it was off .003, would it have been better to pull the oilers and mill the whole top? Great video and love the content!

Man! I can’t believe what great surface finishes you get Adam with the tooling and speeds & feeds you select. Really nice👌 And also, great video. I have ADHD, so with the way you create your videos, they move along nicely. So therefore it keeps my attention. With my ADHD, if videos are not concise and informative, I lose interest. Your videos keep me captivated….thankyou👍🙂

Hi, What camera do you use for these beautiful images? Thank you

Do you think the 0.003 was from the dovetail? Did you try tightening the dovetail wedge?

Why wasn't the top of the compound, surface ground? I just subscribed with max bell. Very good fit on the tool post thread. Thanks for the machine work. Do you ever use thread gauges for checking the fits of precision threads? Otherwise, I will continue to view to see your work. I was a CNC machinist much of my life before retiring and I also had a toolroom shop at home where I did custom work. See you tomorrow.

great mod man! you should really invest in a surface grinder

americano é americano. perfeito. valeuuu..sucésso..tmj..

Hi Adam you levelled the top of the compound but isn,t the bottom of it three thou out now.. I might be wrong trigonometry was not my thing in school ..anyway love the videos keep em coming

Adam your videos are inspiring, such a lovely thing to come back to and watch after 6 hours of hard work, you really make my evenings fun to watch in 4K :D never stop, keep them coming!

What is the shim stock material? It looked like plastic. ?. Where did you purchase the shim stock?

Well done little brother!

Real craftsmen. Wow.😎

Bravoooooooooooo

17:15 could it be the moveable jaw has a little bit of lift to it?

That's all fine and dandy , but where does the cutting tool go on the post ?

Could that lean be in the table or vise?

you pointing out the pin holes is it possable to use out with the compound at straight at 30 dg and 45 dg instead of leaving the pin out and adjusting the post every time you change the angle
