Domestic Management can't understand why I keep "stuff" in the shed. Once again you have demonstrated exactly why!

Thanks for this vid. Like the idea of using a bucket for the coolant tank. I might use that when I get around to doing a similar set up one day. Cheers

Check -on the mig welding machine datasheets for amps& voltage settings. - the contacts tip dia is correct for the filler wire dia. & the filler wire is free from workshop dust & rust. & periodically blow out the liner with compressed air. You’re welding thick to thin consider pre heating the thicker part. Gas flame or kitchen oven. Start the weld on a piece of scrap metal and run the weld to the start point. Don’t catch your sleeve in the lathe chuck when you switch the pump on/off.

I like the Texas license plate on the wall 😁They say Australia is really just British Texas, haha. Cheers from Houston 🍻

get an old detachable shower head with the metal sleeve Matty, that's how the 336 coolant line is from factory

Nice setup Matty, just prepare for getting wet when you start using it in anger! Coolant goes everywhere.

Also agree with your comment about the clear coolant, I use a semi synthetic too which is a little milky, but it is much easier to see through than the white soluble oil

Well that turned out nice, you may use it more than you think. I have drill bits that slip, had, I finally took them to the mill and put flats on them. Keep smilin.

Put a pressure switch on it so it shuts off automatically and you will not need to turn it on and off. It will also keep it from running hard when you are just using a dribble.

OMG you did it, Those kind of jobs I put off too. But when Done I feel better. cheers mate

Good job . Hope you have been a good boy and Santa brings you some good toys !!!

Good job Matty well worth doing. I used to have coolant on my old lathe, have to rig this one up yet. Its a lot better when your workpiece stays cold when machining. Tony

good job matty...thanks for your time

Thanks for the video and at least you got your coffee. Have a great great Christmas.

Glad you made this video we found one of those pumps in a junk car at local scrap yard while back, best thing it's brand new 😀, trying to build a lathe from scratch, actually been trying for past couple years but life happens, thanks for the great idea 💡 👍 😀

Nice setup matty, I use my coolant system quite a bit, I think you will like having that option, great video, keep'um coming..

Looks like a pretty good setup! Free & repurposed is the best kind! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Good repurposing of salvaged kit - love it:) Cheers, Alan.

Hi Matty, good setup. I used a little USB-powered mini motor and an old 5L tub reservoir with the side cut out as my temporary solution (proving not so temporary). I've looked for proper old suds pumps and tanks but people want too much money. Cheers

I wish you, your family and friends Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! May your wishes come true! Best regards from Dresden! 👍💪🇩🇪❤🇦🇺 Cheers! 🍻🍻🍻😎

Good Day Matty....best wishes from Florida, USA...Paul

Thanks, Matty. I like the cost of that job, and the far corner of the back yard didn't need water anyway. Cheers!

Looks like a good set up there. That should extend the life of your inserts for sure. I think I would use a brick in the bottom of the bucket and keep that nice piece of aluminum for a project.

Great & cheap mod for the lathe Matty. Guess your tooling will last longer too. Regards. Steve.

Nicely done! - never thought of using an old parts washer motor, will have to keep an eye out and see if I can scrounge one myself! I was considering just setting up a gravity feed system with a couple of 10l buckets. One on the floor to catch the draining fluid, the other mounted on the wall above the lathe. Then just emptying the bottom bucket in to the top bucket when the top bucket got low.

Best designs are usually the simplest.

Great little setup mate, and as you said, made from the storeroom no shops. Thanks for the video, Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Hi Matty, great solution and the price was right too lol. Transparent coolant, that's a new one on me, fantastic idea in the home shop as we often work to scribe lines for one-offs etc. Cheers, Jon

That's a really nice little pump you've got there. Now you're setup to take coolant showers :)

Nice addition to the lathe Matty. My Hangsterfers coolant is white. Makes filming a fun challenge. Blows out the exposure big time.

Nice install…so quiet will it be a problem if you shut the valve and forget to,power off and walk away?….maybe tie power to lathe power…off is off?

Great job Matty, nice quiet pump, external reservoir is a bonus. First time I'd seen the full length of your lathe, useful! Thanks for sharing.

A good job done there Matty... I am sure it will be useful from time to time and the setup price was excellent...

Great coolant system Matty, will be really useful especially for parting off. With regard to drill bits in the tailstock, a good idea is to use a collet chuck. This is a recommendation from our mutual friend Rob 🙂 I use an ER32 collet chuck in my tailstock all the time, way better than a Jacobs chuck for holding drill bits. It grips better and even if the bits do spin the chuck won't bugger them up. The chuck holds so well that I can hand tighten centre drills and they don't spin even when drilling steel. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and your family 👪

Nice Upgrade Matty ! Zero cost projects are the best ! I'm jealous your chip pan came with a drain..I'm trying to figure out how to add one to mine. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!

Looks real good! Enjoyed watching, thanks.

I am thinking about using a small garden submersible fountain pump from the local flower power garden centre, the pump 240VAC for less than $50 giving me about 4 litres / minute , would like to hear other opinions before I part with my $50, I look forward to your content, great keep it coming, cheers

Great job Matty. That will work very well. One of the projects I have on the list for the lathe. Thanks very much for sharing.

Gonna need a splash guard on that chuck now. Trust me lol

Good job!

Looks like a winner Matty, I had thought about adding flood coolant also, but have concerns of rust so I just use a cool mister with cutting oil and it does good for what I do on the lathe and mill. Cheers

Great when it costs nothing, and it will save a lot of bucks in the future. Good one Matty! Hope you and your family have a great Christmas - without the bugs! lol

A little blob of weld or 2 on you bits works well!

Morning Matty! That looks great. I love the ball valve control. I have that same pump in my new parts washer. Very good inexpensive solution. Well Done!

Thanks for a great year of video projects and Merry Christmas Matt

Nice work again Matty. That will help with making your tooling last longer. Thanks for sharing.

Well done mate

Slick job is a smooth job. . well done. .

I was planning to build a containment HD coolant pan for my LeBlond, but found, and hoping selling will do some horse trading for his whole table. I too have a parts washer that just set's unused. Great retro fit,,,👍. Safe Holidays, Cheers to all there. Bear

money is well-saved mate. Happy Christmas!

❤️😍

It that plastic hose gives you trouble cause it wants to curl you can pull it straight and hit it with the heat gun while keeping it straight just slight warming usually does it if that doesn't do it put a pipe or rod in the end with a hose clamp pull straight hit it for a lil longer with the heat gun you'll feel it get warm and soften the tension then immediately spray with water and it should solid up into that shape 👍👍👍

Merry Christmas Matty......

Salam hormat pak ,,, 🙏🙏 selamat pagi ,,,saya ikut melengkapi ,moga makin sukses ,dan jumpa lagi ,,lain kesempatan ,,,konten bapak ini sangat bagus ,,,buat saya ,,,makasih ,,, ya

I use the white stuff on my Chipmaster lathe. It can be annoying when you can't see the cut very well, however 90% of the time I'm only using it for parting off tool steels.

Hey Matty, just watched ya vid on your set up and I give ya a congrates! My question is this, does the coolant go bad with time....jelling up,actually turning bad(smelling),or just looses it's juju?. Your kinda like me in the garage if I have stuff here and about I'll make something work instead of buying a setup that costs way more than what I'll be using it. Thanks for sharing mate!!👍🤠

Another thorough job Matty, lucky your electric went off for maintenance, we might be off because of shortage, thanks to the immbocile in rusky🤔🤔 off my soap box now!! take care Kev

"there is no such thing as a free lunch" (Malcolm Fraser)

Always better to have coolant . 👍

put them in the er 40 collet hex and mill 3 flats at 0 120 and 240 degrees no slipping drills no more

👍👍😎👍👍

Good God, Matty. @7:47 That hunk of aluminium has to be worth about 50 dollars.?????????????????😃😃😃😃😃😃

Cor Matty, you were saying about the tap lubricant being cold? I m watching this and it's minus 6 centigrade outside on the outskirts of London and we've had snow on the ground since Sunday evening, and until the heating rally gets going it's not much warmer in my front room lol That coolant pump is a nice set up mate and works really well by the looks of it. You would have to be taking some serious cuts to need the coolant running full bore, unless you wanted a shower at the same time as working on the lathe that is lol Have a good Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours Matty. Sam in the UK

Love projects that are basically free. Is this the type of coolant that can go rancid if it sits for too long?

i have the same pump ect: wanting to do the exact same as you with coolant in my lathe. I have a question. 1. what thread size and pitch did you need to connect with the little tap from the silver hose. I'm not good with imperial inches, grew up with all metric.

Surprised the 960B doesn't come with a coolant system, the 336 does and the larger ones do, so what is going on with the 960B? Just a pricing decision?

Pretty sure that lathe has a coolant switch or provision for one on selector panel, why not use it to control your pump?

christmas beetles............mongrels. lol!

mečkač. zelo nerazumljivo

hay MATTY GO TO RCAFpolarexpress,and see the best channel shout out ever, however he stretches the truth a bit, you'll get a kick out of it, you might think i paid him to do it. LOL GOOD DAYS,KIMBER
