Thanks Ian, my voice is a bit off, but I was mainly thinking about recent comments about narration taking way longer than my views deserve. Take this video, currently sixth among my last ten videos. 270 views in nine hours and will most likely reach 2500 in a couple of months if it does well. I supposedly have 7k subscribers, I would never know it from my video views. Apologies for the whinge, Nigel

@@kepamurray1845 thank you, my voice is off but I was mainly referring to my being unwilling to take forever doing narration when my views are so terrible. Mentioned it in a recent video.

Hi Olly, the minimum speed pots in the Minarik spindle driver will not go low enough to make the spindle stop. It has worked ok for years, but some time ago now the maximum speed became higher without the driver being adjusted. Since then it has been impossible to get the spindle to stop properly. Thanks for your comment. Will keep it in mind next time I have a tech here to look at it. Nogel

Noisy pots are a genuine problem, especially on old ones. You could try spraying them with contact cleaner and wiping them back and forward to try and clean them up. They are just a metal wiper on a carbon track (usually). Otherwise just replace them, they won't cost much.

@@innominatum9906 Thank you, they are amazing for their size. I usually ask if corrosion is an issue, if it is, I job it out or send them elsewhere. With just half a hp at the spindle 6061 is a challenge. I don’t like getting put of my comfort zone, it has taken years to find it! LOL

@@kevind1865 Thanks Kevin, I have always tried to make anything I create look like a bought one. I also do not make anything that is out of my league, the one advantage of being self employed. Recently was asked to quote 400 small parts in 6061 aluminium with m6 tapped cross hole. I quoted a price for someone else to do them. I have 3 well trained customers these days, they know what I can do and always ask if I want to do a job. Even have them trained to not ring before 10am. I tend to go to bed late and get up late. 2.28 am at the moment and time for me to get to bed. Thanks for your kind comment. Nigel

It's 02:16 as I'm reading this, I'm a night person also 👍

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I made a visit and left a comment. Nigel

@@erikslagter3231 Hi Erik, it was the same in UK. Motorbike and sidecar did the job for our family of four until we outgrew the sidecar. LOL Thanks for your comment, Nigel

Thanks for your comment. I often used to write programs for a friend with no tool changer, surprising how much turning can be done with a parting tool when you put some thought into it.

@@larryblount3358 Hi Larry yep, thereabout. Thanks for your comment

The entry angle is quite different on a 35 degree insert. Just wanted to show the differences a small change can make. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. Nigel

@@smallcnclathes yes, when you turn normally "from right to left", the entry angle is 90° + 5° holder clearance = 95° but when you turn "from left to right" or feed right hand tool leftward, the entry angle is 90° - 5° holder clearance - 35° insert = 50° i think in English it's called "Angle of adjustment of the main cutting edge χ" - good for chip thinning when you are heavy roughing parts, basically with same D.O.C the chip is distributed among larger area of the edge, thus spread the cutting forces on larger area the downside to this are huge radial forces and that chip breakers often stop to work because the chip becomes too thin

Hi Kevin, 2011 aluminium

Thank You for your comment

I don’t but even if I did, I would have no idea about how to go about parting it off. Not a material I have used very much. From memory, I think I have made only one batch of parts in 316. A material I have avoided.

@@smallcnclathes I have a lot of it, it's what was available to me. Unfortunately 316 is very tough, 316l being even worse. Thanks.

Oil Tank cap for BSA Empire Star motorcycle

@@nigelberry9210 Yes, after posting the question I discovered another short where it is mentioned. I seem to remember that being made a few years back too.

Same part done differently and each op a separate video. Next is using diamond insert to create the domed top

Machinist with larger machines won’t notice. 6061 is just really difficult for small machines, as it needs decent depth of cut and rapid speeds to control the chip flow as you saw in this video. I choose 2011 because it is a machining grade alloy which is much better for use in small machines. But that is the only advantage it has over other alloys.

@@smallcnclathes Ah okay, that makes sense. I appreciate you taking the time to reply, thank you!

Thanks Frank

I guess that is what should be expected from eBay sellers! LOL

Hi, did you download the files ok?

@@smallcnclathes yeah! I've only looked at the pdf so far, but I'm going to get the rest of them loaded up and see how they do!

Hi Jeff, thanks for taking the time to comment. Nigel

Thank You. Nigel

Thank you. Nigel

Thank You, I have not had this happen previously. I thought it may be the file, but it worked when I uploaded again! Nigel

Thanks Gary

We are not supposed to know how YT works. LOL But losing the audio is just weird.

Hi Gary and Thank You. Olfoundryman is finding Freecad a little daunting but is managing to create part to 3D print

Thanks Julias

Thanks Jeff

Second that. And no, didn't hear a squeak in the previous edition. Very disappointing. ;)

Hi Peter. Blue is looking to be the most popular pick by miles. I did not discover the audio was missing until the next day. It funny that most of the comments on the second video still mention the colour, I think you are only the second person to mention the audio! I was hoping someone might have an answer as to what I may have done wrong when uploading. As it included audio when I uploaded it a second time, I am assuming it was just a gremlin in the works. As always thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you being a "regular" commenter

@@smallcnclathes Thanks. :) I had some problems, around the time you uploaded, with videos I watched that stopped dead a few seconds in. I then read somewhere that YT-users had complained about various problems - especially when uploading. Probably the reason. It's definitely not something you did. ;)

Thanks Larry

Thank you

Thank You. I discovered today that I could not hear the brief narration that I included in the video. Did you hear any narration? I am about to release a new video asking if folks heard it and if they have any idea what is going on!

@@smallcnclathes No, the video has no sound.

@@advil000 thank you, I did not realise it until much later. I then uploaded the same video asking if folks heard any narration The narration is included in that one and should be audible.

@@advil000 Thank You

Thanks Martin

Thanks Michael

Thank you Olly

Thank You. Nigel

Hi, it took a lot of persuasion by a friend to convince me to add narration to my videos. I had also heard my own voice and wondered who was talking! LOL. A number of the folks who watch, seem to appreciate the narration. It is not something that can easily be done at the time of machining as the machines make too much noise. I just need to find a way to make narration less onerous. I am going to try just talking without striving to get it "right" as much as I do. May include a lot of Umms and Ahhs, will just have to see how it goes. Thanks for your comment, oh and as for the Algorithm, we are not supposed to understand it. LOL

Hi Paul, I agree about yt. I think I will adopt the same attitude. Still make videos, but do a bit less editing and narration.

Thank you. Nigel

LOL. The dos does not default to blue, that's all there is! Unless of course you know of a way to get an alternate colour scheme in DOS. You know it may be one of those times when after using a piece of software for years and you have a "How did I not know that" moment. I think we have all been there. I am going to have a go at just talking and unless it is a total screw up just leave it as it is. As I said that short video took 36 narration clips for me to be happy with it. So there will be umms and ahhs and stopping while I think of what I want to say next. Just have to see how it goes. Thanks for your comment. Nigel I just checked out your channel, how on earth can a channel with no content have 5 subscribers?? That must be some sort of Magic!

My wife had some content up with my son playing with trains. Got a bit creepy so we pulled the videos. I do appreciate the effort it takes. I thought that you sounded very natural when you narrated the videos and didn't realize it was so time consuming. No I don't know how to change the DOS colour. You read too much into the "default" part of my comment. 😁 Thanks for the reply.

Thank You, blue looks like the Favourite

Thanks for that Paul. Good to hear from you again. Nigel

Thank You for your response

I agree, it does, has a cleaner look about it. BUT does it provide a better look at the simulation? I always use the blu, because as you know, the dos software is blue with not other choice.

Thank You. Nigel

Thank You. It is the one I normally use, probably because it is the same as the dos software and I use both.
