Hey Brian, its a product sold by Bergeon: <a href="https://www.hswalsh.com/product/bergeon-1897-roller-sinkers-hr58" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.hswalsh.com/product/bergeon-1897-roller-sinkers-hr58</a> designed specifically for putting in new oil sinks, and cleaning up existing ones. Yes its quite a limited cutter, for use on brass only, and often used hand held as a light deburring tool.

Clickspring

What is a roller cutter and when /why is it used versus a more traditional style cutter? Is it limited to smaller machining tasks like this one?

Brian Boatright

Hey Damien, yes they are the Sherline WW collets. They work well, but be aware that they are not hardened steel, just a mild steel, so they are quite soft and fragile. The price reflects this, and they are still very useful, but they do pick up damage quite easily.

Clickspring

Thanks for another excellent video. Could I ask which collet system you're using on your Sherline lathe? Are these the WW collets that they sell or something different?

Damien Miller

Maybe one day Iain!

Another brilliant video Chris, can't wait to see the final product! But on another note I seen a previous comment asking if you'd make a video tour of your workshop, if you did would you consider showing the audience the man behind the camera? Cheers

Iain Deas

Thank you mate, I very much appreciate your encouragement :)

Clickspring

Cheers Al!

Clickspring

Terrific to hear that mate :)

Hey Paul, yes its a bit tight in my little shop, so I need to be able to move everything around to make the most of my space. The 2 vises are screwed onto an old wooden cutting board 500mm x 350mm x 40mm. I've mounted them so that I can just rotate the board to bring one or the other to the 'front' as needed. When I first tried out the idea, I was sure it would be too unstable, but its turned out to be very effective. I rarely have to push that hard with the scale of work that I do, so the weight of the 2 vises and the board are enough to keep still on the bench. On the rare occasion that I really have to put some muscle behind it, I have used 2 Kwik Grip clamps to clamp the cutting board to the bench, and it holds it quite still.

Thanks Robert :)

Thanks Kjetil! Yes I have been spending a lot of time getting the next project all planned out. It will follow on directly from this one, and the next patron Series project will also tie in with it too. I'm very excited about it, I'll be able to talk a bit more about it when I've got this one finished.

Clickspring

Wow! So close to wrapping this project up. Loving every second of it yet. Amazing how in 10 seconds you described a full days work with those screws Chris, keep up the hard work and dedication!

Magik Eh

Once again a wonderful video! Its all over too quickly.

Al McKague

Man that was beautiful to watch - thanks Chris! My day started in a bad way with my Windows profile getting corrupted, but it sure ended well :)

AM de Jager

Brilliant as always. Really enjoy all these video's cannot wait for it to be finished. The vices you use seem to be mounted​ to something. Do you have an overall picture of the setup. Brilliant idea to have them easily removable from the bench.

Paul Busby

As always, astounding! Job well done Chris!

Hello Chris! Great work as allways! Now that the clock is near completion, have you thought og something new to make in the shop after?

Hey Scott, the toolpost I use on the Sherline is an A2Z light alloy 'piston style' QCTP: <a href="http://www.a2zcorp.us/QC-Toolpost-for-Sherline-Lathe-w-4-Holders_p_12.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.a2zcorp.us/QC-Toolpost-for-Sherline-Lathe-w-4-Holders_p_12.html</a> It works well for this size lathe, definitely recommend it.

Clickspring

Thank you Scott! I think the next project is going to be an absolute doozy. I'll give the full details on it when this one is over the line in a few more episodes, but I am super excited about it.

Clickspring

Great video. I'm getting more excited as you near the end in the construction process. I hope you have another project planned as these videos have become a habit that I don't want to break. Again, well done!

Scott Clausen

Hi Chris, what tool post were you using on the Sherline? I would love a recommendation for QCTP. Thanks for another great video!

SCOTT SWAALEY

I was wondering that myself. steel washers are really hard (I killed a cheap drill bit trying to taper one once); and brass is pretty soft. it might literally just be that!

Paul Grodt

Ditto, I'm also interested in your videography.

Wonderful Chris! Only thing I must have missed somewhere is that tool with the washer on the end. Never seen anything like it but looks to be one of your wizardry! Kind of ball end mill of sorts? You said something about an oil pocket...couldn't quite make it out. Was that a squeaky escapement...@¿@...gona halfta erl that thing. OH Boy, almost there! It's been just the best ride getting here...Thanks Much! ~PJ

PJ

As always, such excellent videos! Any chance that in the future you could do a video on your filming techniques? I know you work in a small space, I'd be interested in seeing what equipment you use, and how you get some of your shots, especially the moving ones you've got for showing things off.
