I don’t think the critics watched the same video as me. Your dial indicator at the end showed pretty much perfect precision. People just want to hate what they cannot do themselves to make themselves feel better about being unaccomplished and lazy. Good on you for bringing an old machine back to life and probably learning some new skills and techniques.
the fact it was chattering on a light cut in brass means the ways are fucked and need reworked even the spindle bearing is gone on it just because you cleaned and repainted it means nothing if its not functioning as intended
When you restore an old lathe, or any power tool, the first time you put it under power is MAGIC !! And then, you get to cut metal with it ! Very nice work, I am sure it will serve you very well for many years to come .
What a beautiful job you did restoring the old lathe to working order. It not only works like a charm but it also looks a lot better too. Excellent work.
Hello, I have one, lathe lookalike. Working condition . Lorch Schmidt & Co. With all reduction gear wheels. Used it last 60 years. What is the value ? 1940 ? Ex . Philips Eindhoven.
Brilliant job. That little lathe looked like it’s done a lot of work in the past and now will do a lot more. I really like the light blue paint you picked and making the handle with the ball ends by free hand was pretty clever too. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Very nice restoration of the lathe. Especially liked some of the component parts you made for the lathe, that was an exceptional piece of craftsmanship. Enjoyed this video immensely, thank you.
По резу металла. Ты этим станком режешь латунь. Она весьма мягкая. Съем около милиметра. А за резцом идёт рисунок. Этот рисунок тебе говорит о том, что точность годится к крайне редкому использованию и обработке напильником после точения. Другими словами над станком еще работать и работать, прежде чем он вернёт себе точность хотя бы класса 0.
Да он вообще нормально ни бабки не выставлял, ни шабрил по линейкам. Так что-то по жирному слою притёр для вида. Что можно говорить о станочной культуре человека, который даже не прикрывает направляющие от абразива. Одно дело мясорубку от ржи отмыть, другое - станок приводить в порядок по допускам.
WELDING CAST IRON!!! 😂😂😂 you clearly know what you are doing!!! 😂😂😂 This is what gives all those stupid videos away as fake! People not knowing basic stuff
The bed also has heavy wear in the center. It must be milled. All older lathes have wear in the center of the bed. I would consider upgrading. Replace plain bearings with rolling bearings, make new shafts for this.
Right? And there was no effort shown to check the accuracy of the lathe afterwards… the machining channels I’m subscribed to, the operator is constantly checking their work to make sure they are getting the expected results as they turn whatever they’re working on.
I dont think almost any "lathe restorer" knows what they do. They call i a restauration but its onley cosmetic. In my oppinion the restauration is when you grind/scrape the bed/ways so it preformes as new. The paint has nothing to do with the restauration its just a final last touch.
@@fulfI also did a "restoration" on my 1919 lathe from Germany, but when I had to scrape the dovetails and align the headstock I completely gave up the entire hobby and sold everything 😂😂 it drove me insane
@@Renville80 He's also welding cast iron with MIG, which is a recipe for cracks. Weird how he's happy to slap bondo over everything but felt the need to weld up that little pit in the top slide?
Picked up an ancient Soutbend Junior lathe in about the same shape as this. (managed to source a tailstock). I'd say I'm halfway through, and your work has inspired me to keep pushing!
I also had an almost identical one before. It was the 0618 produced by China Tianyi. It was almost the same size as yours and the appearance was almost the same.
El resultado final es realmente IMPRESIONANTE, y más; tratándose de una máquina China. Tradicionalmente los equipos, manufactura y calidad de China se conocen por ser casi desechables. 60 años de edad de este torno me comprueba que existen sus honrosas excepciones.
Cosmetically ok job. Next time measurements if needed correct dimensional errors, parallel errors correction, stoning to knock off high spots, scraping.
Y eso es lo hermozo del metal... aunque este aparentemente horrible se puede reutilizar y dejarlo como nuevo... exelente trabajo e hipnotico video... 😁👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😮Anda pasti insinyur mesin yang sangat cerdas dan sabar ,mengerjakan ini sampai selesai dengan baik dan cantik serta Berfungsi kembali mesin ini, Salam Hormat dan Salut dari indonesia
