What we thought was one noisy bearing turned out to be MANY MORE! We are finally going to be replacing the noisy spindle bearing in our milling machine. This is a Hafco MetalMaster BM-63VE Industrial turret milling machine. It is a Bridgeport style mill with a 2J Variable speed drive system and has done plenty of work over the past 5 years. We never really noticed the noisy bearing until we started making videos and getting comments from viewers. So today we show the process of disassembling & reassembling the enter head and drive system and how to replace the spindle bearing. But while disassembling and cleaning the parts we find many more noisy bearings that also need replacing!

It's a heck of a lot cheaper to replace some bearings then it is to repair the excess damage done to other parts because of the bearing failing. Timing is always the problem - you don't want to jump on it too fast when it's still working fine, but if you wait for it to completely fail you risk damage to other parts. Great video!

@dikkiedik53 Год назад

In 1966 I was 13 yrs of age when I didn't know what to do with my future. My neighbor took me with him to the electrotechnical company where he was head mechanic of the department for rebuilding electric motors. It was the time factories had a 2 week summer standstill for servicing all the motors. From 0.75 kW to 200 kW. So it was busy in the shop and in no time I was busy taking electric motors and the attached gearboxes apart, cleaning them, renewing bearings etc. They taught me every thing about electric motors. I wasn't even legally allowed to work! I saw it just as a thing to be busy during summer holidays. When I had to go back to school he came to me and gave me the pay of a mechanic for those weeks. He told me I earned every cent of it. The next year I worked there too during vacation. After that vacation I entered the practicum for electrotechnical engineering at school for the first time and the teacher asked me what I thought of the it. I pointed out to him all the different types of motors he had there with all the specialties of them. He got a bit pale around his nose and told me he had 2 years to to teach me what I already knew. You brought me back to those years... thanks!

Had that, take it apart for service and chunks of the sand from the casting was still in there, right next to the 1S bearings that were noisy. Sand all got moved, cleaned, and the new 2RS bearings went, in minus the one side seal, so the oil fitting could still work. then it got a nice fill of synthetic oil to make them happy. Original was something akin to road tar mixed with gravel....

Kurtis, on a Bridgeport mill the noise is from a plastic bushing that wears out on the adjustable lower cone on the DRIVE MOTOR. You just need to remove the motor and take the lower cone off. The bushing is in the cone. I am of course assuming your machine is the same as a Bridgeport mill but I don't see how it could be any different. You should be able to purchase the replacement bushing. I used to make my own to save a few bucks.

@capnkwick4286 Год назад

My dad was a WW2 aircraft mechanic and one thing he impressed on us when working on the farm equipment was to always use something else between the hammer and the bearing. For bearings up to 2 1/2 bananas (63.5 mm) we would use a socket that fit over the bearing race. For really large bearings we would use a block of wood in place of the socket. And that little "pop" when pulling using a gear puller is always so satisfying.

Hafco have evidently put some very nice effort into building a quality milling machine as evidenced by the overall build quality you uncovered as well as nice details like balancing gears that they could arguably have gotten by with if they'd left imbalances few would notice. But you also added significant value to your own machine by installing better suited-to- purpose sealed ball bearing assemblies, by using polymer composite grease in the main gear case and by scribing the precision visual guideline as a visual rotational axis cross-check. Hafco cut (or spec'd) that top drive gear set "off the involute" to give it more robustness at the expense of gear noise. This also let them specify harder (but more brittle) gears there for better long-term wear characteristics also at the expense of noise. But the machine sure sounds sweeter than it did, and I'm confident you postponed any major maintenance on that machine by hundreds, if not a few thousand, operating hours. As an old manufacturing consultant, you're a joy to watch on the shop floor. Your success as a machinist is as well-earned as your, Homeless' and Karen's work in RU-vid production.

Great job on the rebuild. It’s the same design as a Bridgeport machine. Couple of comments.

Second, don’t try greasing those fittings more than once every couple of years.! Grease accumulates around the brake areas 👍

BRILLIANT as usual!!! Karen's editing is first class, I can't count how many times my friends would repair something, sometimes expensive machines, and not bother to clean it going back... as always, you set the standard for a "Job Well Done!!!"

@johnbillington488 Год назад

Before you pulled it apart I had it pegged as gear noise (just because of the rattle)but a new set of bearings won't hurt. Once again interesting, This is the type of work I did for 50 years, Cheers Billo

@scoobtoober2975 10 месяцев назад

Some lads that worked for a few bearing companies told me to chill bearings with dry ice and alcohol if you can't get a hold of liquid nitrogen. Worked a treat on some Subaru wheel bearings. Cheers Love your work

@catttcattt 10 месяцев назад

I like the way you treat your machines. You treat them like buddies. When you need them they sure will treat you back like buddies. For a one man workshop I can see your passions in the trade. Thanks for your encouragement!

I love how you cut off the mechanical "purist" who were all heading for their keyboards when they watched you use a 123 block as a driver block! lol I am sure they spotted themselves when they saw that! Well played my man, well played. And I was going to say at the very beginning of the video that every one of these machines we have in our shop has that knocking/rumble/click sound. Every one. It's the drawbar, straight cut gears, the sliding collar for the hand brake and all the other loose stack up tolerances. Just the nature of the beast as it were. Well done though with the work. It's like buying insurance. You KNOW that everything inside is now up to your standards. When you're trouble shooting a job down the road, you can eliminate the machine as a possible problem

I don't know how I ended up watching your content. I don't have a background in any area of engineering. But I've gotta say. Even for a laymen, you manage to explain everything just enough that I can understand. Plus, the long form content you do is a great insight into what actually goes on when working with machines this big.

@libsrdum Год назад

Maintenance, the unsung hero of every company. How on earth did you keep track of all of those parts? You could do a whole video on that. Again, Karen's video skills were excellent. As for me, I was impressed that not once did I hear you say, "Karen, hand me that wrench.".

The company I worked for had large bench drills. They had large gearboxes flooded with oil, they made identical sounds. I thought it was normal from the beginning too, until someone pointed it out in the comments. The milling machines had helical gears and only the motor could be heard.

I'm glad the out takes didn't have "where in the hell is this part supposed to go!" Great job and I was half expecting the "noise" to remain; however, I think Curtis knew where the sound was most likely originating.

@josecintron2323 Год назад

You are a great example of doing the job right. Since you have it disassembled, why not clean and replace all them bearings. I gritted my teeth as you fought some of those retaining rings. S, I was into your work. Keep it up the entertaining and instructional videos!
