Rustinox has issued a challenge to KZfaqrs, Instagramers, and people who make things. Make a coat hanger, or coat hook for your workshop, however you choose to make it!
I went for simplicity and elegance. A simple straight hook, machined from stainless steel, mounted on the door with brass screws.

@@AdventureswithaVerySmallLathe thanks, that helped me a lot 😀👍. here is a tip regarding the burrs you got on your tapped hole. just use a countersink after drilling, not only will this keep the burr away but it also helps to start the tap. or better use only a bigger centredrill before drilling. enjoyed your Video, thanks

I'm a little late but here is a tip for chamfer chatter. If you start getting chatter on the chamfer, continue until a bit behind finished depth. Then, pull the chuck through instead of the motor and you get a brilliant surface finish! Anyways, AMAZING video and great addition to the workshop :-)

@chrisstephens6673 4 жыл бұрын

Looking good, On metals like that it is an idea to drill with a larger drill. Even on your hanger as little as 50% thread engagement would have been enough. It makes tapping tough holes much easier and if you are concerned about strength, go for 2Dia deep rather than a more standard 1 1/ 2Dia. Even for regular metals going for 65% rather than a standard 75-80% can make life easier, without significant loss of strength.

@AdventureswithaVerySmallLathe Жыл бұрын

It doesn't have a brand name or a model number, and honestly it's not a good tool. It doesn't have any adjustment for the blade, so cuts crooked. I have replaced it with a 4.5" floor standing bandsaw from Warco.

@MaxWattage 4 жыл бұрын

Very interesting video. Thank you. At 9:00 an ER40 collet chuck would have helped grip the workpiece firmly and evenly, without marking it. Also, using first a Taper Tap, and then a Second Tap, will make tapping in difficult materials MUCH easier than trying to cut the thread with just a Second Tap (aka Plug tap), and will mitigate issues like tap-breakage and scrapped parts. The reduced cutting forces will mean that the workpiece is less likely to slip in the chuck too.

Great video! You always do a great job to show what can be done with these small machines. One question: I have the same Mill (FF230) and i struggle with the low rigidity. Drilling gives me crooked holes and milling gives me terrible chatter and sometimes it even grabs and it visibly bends the entire machine. I tighten the lock screws *really* hard and still it seems wobbly. Is there any way to handle this or is my technique to blame?

@AdventureswithaVerySmallLathe 4 жыл бұрын

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. It's a flimsy machine. I've chatted with a few experienced owners, and people have tried various things. Several people have added extra screws to tighten the hold on the quill in the headstock, and one FF 230 owner built a large, heavy replacement column from epoxy granite to improve rigidity. Personally I think the possible improvements are very limited, and I plan to buy a much larger mill as soon as I have the space.

@@AdventureswithaVerySmallLathe Thank you very much for the insight. :) Do you have a particular mill in mind? Wabeco F1200 machines seem good (www.wabeco-remscheid.de/catalog/category/view/s/konventionelle-fraesmaschinen/id/393/)

@cooperised 3 жыл бұрын

I must get hold of some of that rubberised abrasive, it looks magic! Have you thought about covering your ways when you use it? I could imagine that the free abrasive might not be the best for a machine tool. Worth noting that Robin Renzetti has flexible way covers permanently installed.

@AdventureswithaVerySmallLathe 3 жыл бұрын

It is really useful. h/t to Robin Renzetti for calling attention to it. Sadly very difficult to get in the UK. As long as it's used on smooth surfaces, it doesn't shed much free abrasive. I do clean up pretty thoroughly after I've used it though. Using a way cover would probably be good, so I'll do that from now on.

Great video's - thanks for your work on these. I'm considering the Proxxon PD 250E as a first purchase lathe to support my model steam engine hobby. Problem is I can find no objective reviews of this model or it's immediate competitors. Your video's show this lathe in a generally good light - but what do you think of it overall? What are the good and bad points - there must be some examples of the latter, I'm sure. The tool post fixture mod a clear improvement but what else? Any further guidance appreciated.

I'm in a similar situation, looking to purchase this lathe however the lack of objective reviews is evident. Perhaps the price is it's Achilles heel for what is actually a Taiwanese lathe though Proxxon would like us to think otherwise.
