Multifix Toolpost for the Precision Matthews Lathe

Don't ever remove the photo of your lineage at the end. Your dad and grand-dad there. This is priceless.

Always love the complete projects!

If someone gave me a multifix tool post I bet I could say thanks and not describe it as poor quality.

nice work man, try to make shorter videos, increase speed when show machining its not necessari to see in real time

so large depth of cut cuts, with zero coolant, it sounds awful, more so knowing it has no coolant.

I understand you are not using coolant, becacuse it makes a mist from the vibrations and a mess in your workshop, into the lungs as well. Better in your case, to change the inserts or toolbits regularly. It its not a production line after all.
One could sharpen the bits up with a tool-grinder, and re-use them if having the great time (A lot of time in Swedish / All tid i världen) or all time in the World.

I wish some could explain to me why people set the compound to 29 1/2 degrees for threading, in simple terms I can grasp. 😳

No apologies needed man! You just keep doing you and I'll keep enjoying these videos!

These types of toolposts are LIGHT DUTY. They can fail in heavy turning situations. Not as strong as a square dovetail quick change.

Don't apologize, love the channel! Doesn't the height of the tool need to be exactly at the centerline of the lathe? With the spacer, etc. it doesn't seem like anything is accounting for that. Will have to look for a video on it. 👍👍

I can see that you are really scared of the first cut on the new machine. But well, you do not respond to comments anyway - so thumbs down.

yessir got to keep the Job Jobs rolling, never stop. loke my ole pal Ruby Begotta used to say, keep the ball rolling, if it dont roll give it a kick.

That’s a nice Huot box there. I don’t think I’ve noticed it before.

BRILLIANT MOD!

Really like the way you do the t and the tool holder is awesome

When you weld with flux core and gas, what gas do you use? Co2 or argon and co2?

A legend in your own mind.....

Awesome! Can't wait to see you turn that lead screw!

The more I see of these multifix tool posts, the harder it is for me to comprehend why anyone would choose such a complicated and limited tool post. The biggest thing I don't understand is why anyone would want a tool post that is locked in place and not easily relocated to various locations on the compound. I suppose if an operator was only machining in 90° planes with the carriage or crossslide and not using angles on the compound, it'll be alright. Not to mention the only thing holding the post in place is a couple set screws.
The Aloris style tool post is the superior style.
I've watched every video you have done on these Multifix posts, and I have yet to see a single benefit of having one.

No need to apologise man. Shop life is shop life: Rush jobs come in. Stuff doesn't arrive on time. Wrong stuff arrives, but on time. The gnomes have run off with that piece of round stock you just KNEW you had in the pile. Holes are discovered in "perfect plans" so the angle of attack, and hence the time line, needs to be changed. Things get forgotten because brains aren't made of magnetic tape. Such is shop life.

As long as we all get to follow along it's plenty good man. The downs are as good as the ups. The lesson learned moments are as good as the routine jobs. We just wanna tag along and see what ya doin' today.

Wouldn't it be a bit better in terms of rigidity if the shoulder of the center pin bottomed out on the spacer instead of the threads? (I am not a machining at all so I am maybe asking a silly question)

Many thanks for your videos. I got some of the CRC 3-36 and really like it. I noticed it looked like you were using another CRC product as a cutting lubricant. Which one, or was it something else? It looked foamy.

I wonder why they fitted a quaint pre 1960s compound handle?!

Hey! I'm gonna take a guess that your name is Adam. Hi, I'm Andrew and I've never machined anything. But I am fascinated and interested in the trade. I absolutely love the projects you do. I really like the threading, tapping and milling. The one thing I'm always left wondering is how do you clean up the giant messes after each project? Can you please make a quick video about that? Thanks!

Very nice enjoyed as always. Thank you.

what happens to all your metal shavings, those bins must get heavy after awhile. Can you scrap them for money? Is it worth it?

Спасибо, отличное видео.

Why do you need with two shops ? You will just be running back a forth from shop to shop. Are you going to start hiring people to work at the new place.

Would you also need to make a register mark where the center of the tool holder sits. If the t-nut moves, you will have a hard time realign. Maybe not. Just wondering.

واقعأ عالی،شما بهترین هستید.

I am leathmachine turnner from India we do all this slading and milling in leathmachine

I like you channel, because you explain everything, and you show everything, and you do it at the end of the videos. Thanks for those magnifics videos. Have a nice day

Is that combination lathe and v-mill head a granite lathe? I'm curious where you got it from.

Is this a B size tool holder?

I really like your videos! I am retired from farming and trying to learn how to run a lathe and mill because I throughly love doing that sort of thing. I learn new things everything I watch your videos, thank you!

Like the way you put the scribe line on the compound. Will do the same with my little Bolton

Just a note on the bottom of the multifix, it is not just concentric circles but a spiral like a record. If it tries to spin, it actually has to displace metal and not just rely on friction. Much stronger.

Well done video. Looks like new shop is coming along good

Adam, is Pewe Tools still around? I have tried emailing a couple of times and still no response from Peter! Thanks

Who makes the Clam Shell Tool Post?

Adam, I just love the way you approach all your ops. You are a extremely talented machinist. I learn so much from watching your videos. When I start making a little money I am sending some your way Sir. Its entertaining yes, but so full of education and experience. I truly wish you the utmost success brother. God bless you man.

I bought a Clausing Metosa C1330S that's missing the topslide and the cross slide dovetail channel is busted in various places. It is also missing the quill for the tail stock as well. I may have bit off more than I can chew seeing as it's the only Lathe I have. I wish i lived in Florida man. I would pay you handsomely to help me out. Your meticulous attention to detail is so inspiring.
Unfortunately I don't have machine shops small enough around me to hire so I'm not sure when or if I'll ever get to make chips on it.
Enjoyed watching the video man. Thanks Adam. 🍻👍

What freakin machine is that that you used with the tap...that has gotta be the slickest thing I've ever seen lol

What size Multifix toolpost is that? I'm about to buy that lathe's little brother, the 1640TL, and I'm probably going to get a PWT Multifix toolpost for it.

What size quick-change is that?
Im going to be ordering the same machine here in a couple days largely because of your review and id like to use that same multifix. Im ready to order from pe-we tools. Just picking the right size is becoming frustrating

I am curious why you used a different method of attaching the tool post in this video (using a spacer) vs the video you made 2 years ago with a co-planer T-Nut. Did this application require the additional height of the spacer or is it a better method? (which I believe it may be personally)

Perfekt👍👍👍
