I'm curious as to set-up, long ago I ground aircraft cranks, hot rods, to large diesels, then over the decades I taught myself machining by collecting. This is the first video that, as far as I can see, is holding the work as I think it should be done, correctly. I have a planer and mill, both 1x1x3 feet envelope. I would assume that the bottom of a lathe bed would be alike the centers on a crankshaft and possibly held downward without distorting the work, loading, but most other objects should only be trapped horizontally, floating, with minimal downward force. And, place shims in places not in contact with the platten. Is this generally how it is done? Just watching reminds me of the boomerang kid on Mad Max wanting the music toy.
@@taffbatsIt depends, this machine didn't need a lot taking off so didn't warrant the additional expense, its not recommended for tailstocks, better to shim,
UK midlands, with milling machine tables it is usual to do the way side as well as the table surface, they often warp over time from over tightening and bad or wrong sized T-nuts crimping the top of the table, it will depend on how much needs taking off, a rough idea would be £250-£300
Che bello vedere una macchina vecchia tornare bella e precisa meglio che nuova anche perché la ghisa è invecchiata e migliora le proprie caratteristiche e le guide prismatiche così rettificate e senza difetti fanno brillare gli occhi agli amanti dalle macchine utensili... Solo chi ama questi reperti di archeologia industriale può capire😂😂
Olá amigo Joe!!! Que maravilha de trabalho,perfeito!!! Eu estou correndo atrás desta perfeição em meu projeto caseiro, ficando a metade do que o amigo realizou eu já ficaria muito feliz!!! Lhe desejo muita saúde e cada vez mais sucesso!!!
Taking it nice and easy. Sometimes it's good to have some help when moving around machinery. But, I find it's seems a lot easier when there's no one else around. I'm always a little concerned filming things like this. Because it seems something Always goes wrong when you point a camera at it 😒 First time watching your channel. Looking forward to watching more of what you do 👍
Yes I think unless you've got the right people it's better to be on your own. I did think at the time that I was tempting fate given that there was a lorry on its way to take it to a customer, Thanks
Hi, thanks, this one has just had a few jobs such as a broken cam lock then a good clean and paint. ways etc. where all quite good so it made a nice machine without having to put a lot of work into it.
I'm on the opposite side of the planet, fyi. But it would be great to get this done to my old Petersen lathe. It is one with an extendable bed that stood the test of time very well. Eight feet long in the closed position loa. 6ft. bed opens to 10 ft. It's an almighty challenge to resurface due to the size and that machine you have would be something like, what would be the best way to spruce up the ways. You oughta do up a video of the whole process Joe? People will eat it up!
Hi, that sounds similar to the Stanley sliding bed lathes we had over here? if it hasn't got hardened ways it could be scraped, although I cringe at some of the home-brew bed grinding videos on here. Anything that's improving the situation can't really be knocked. I've asked my dad to help out filming (waving my phone around in one hand while working isn't really the best) I'll try and get some more detailed videos up soon
Looks like a great example, CVA toolroom lathes are very good. The DSG in the background though, much more what I would like to have if I had the room.
@@joecorner8974 I have a decent1307x40 that has replaced an older 13x42 that I'm currently trying to sell on. They are wonderful lathes, top tier level with a select few others.
absolutely, one of the machines I regret selling over the years was a type 25 x 144, I kept it for a few years but it was a bit on the long side for anything I was doing @@dutchgray86
Le meilleur moyen de détruire les glissières , les moteurs .de la machine qui fonctionne , il est fortement conseiller des disques avec refroidissement liquide
the earlier CVA lathes where almost a copy of the monarch 10ee, I believe there was some sort of wartime lend-lease deal done, the later CVA lathes look different but many of the parts where similar or the same, really nice machines to use, I've been a machine tool dealer for nearly 30 years and I keep a couple of these for my workshop
