Restoring A South Bend Heavy 10 Bed Turret- Part 1 

Thank you for spreading the word and shaving screws lives. Helical Ramps Matter! We wouldn’t be here without them.

Is part 3 in production? Would be nice to see how everything turned out. Really would like to see something showing this, along with the collet closer and production slide in action like you started to do in the turret overview.

I leave painted parts in Purple Power for a week or so and they come out as a clean casting. Then rinse in parts washer with mineral spirits to prevent that residue.

Good to see you back restoring Brad. Looking forward to this series.

Awesome. I love technical videos. Thank you for taking the time to narrate over the shop noise.

Good to see you back and even better, doing a resto.

👍👍Good to see you back Brad, Nice work!!👍👍

Nice to see the pink vice is still in action.

Great! Brad's back! Glad to see you.....

Enjoyed Brad! ATB, Robin

Nice video, we love a good turret and we see one of your viewers Randy Richards RR made yours and my scribe on his lathe using the turret it was fun to watch him make those nice tools, it is great to have you sharing how the turret works and refurbishing one is nice to see. We look forward to part two and so on.

Nice work Brad and good voice over.

Look at him! Just proudly showing off his pink vice!! Nice! :)

Cool part 1.

Not to bad of a repair to do. Nice project and nice to have two units to work with.

Hi Brad, love the little princess vise............I think you may be the only guy on RU-vid,with one......enjoy your videos very much, thanks for sharing, i just sold my 10 heavy, and picked up a smaller 10 k toolroom lathe which I completed a few months ago,,,,,,having a ball and enjoying retirement.take caesura till next time.

Hope you clean out that turkey broiler pan before thanksgiving! Great informative video Brad, thanks for posting.

Going to be a nice fix up series. :-)

Nice!

Good to see that you've gotten a break. I hope they give you enough slack to allow you to finish your shaper rebuild. I see that the "princess" vise has had to start earning it's keep. I'll have to check back in a few days to see how many comments are made about it. No doubt that by now you'll have some watching that will not know the back story on it. Turret, or Tourette??? ... the latter was my pet name for my old lantern tool post (it didn't hold well, and was the cause of many sudden outbursts of profanity). The fix for that is a work still in progress. It's been delayed by the acquisition of a surface grinder and following that, family needs.

Brad, I have a NOS stop block and gear rack for the double cross slide if yours are damaged or missing. Dean

Perfectly timed voice-over on this one. Also, I see someone’s complaining about the music here in the comments, but I thought it was great. Cool project.. looking forward to the next part.

What if? You make a rounded pocket on the stop where the stop bolts hit,so if they were slightly bent,they would be forced to the center of the pocket so they wouldn't get pushed off and get bent worse? Just a thought.

I always love seeing your work. I'm inspired by it as I'm currently restoring a Atlas 7B. In case you didn't already know, you had some audio editing overlay opportunities in here. Thanks for sharing your efforts!

I know you're a pro refurbing this stuff.. I've found using the purple power in a crock pot on low for about 2 hours will pull the oil/grease as well as 95% of the paint. 1 stop shop so to speak

Nice work !!! Is that another mill in the back ground at the start?

Great work , wish you’d do my heavy 10l. I would like to know just what cleaners you use, in one video I believe you mention purple power and zepp purple degreasers, and of course Cyrus strip. Do you use the zepp purple straight or diluted and if diluted what dilution? The purple power seems like it’s to be used straight no dilution. After soaking overnight do you rinse in water and dry or rinse in solvent then dry, or rinse in water then solvent like wd40? The citrus strip as I understand it is brushed on heavy, paint scraped or brushed off, then rinsed, dried and painted? I am amazed at how many south bends you have rebuilt. Kudos. Another question - the beds do you scrape them or have them sent out to be regrouped? Keep up the good work!

I think I'd agree with others here that it looked like you could braze up that stop pad a lot more easily than machining it, and I'd expect it to last just as long.

Should have said reground - stupid spell checker, I did spell it right the first time, and when I sent it the spell checker got me again.

"somebody used this allen screw as a gib screw" most likely thats the one used to LOCK it down, Like most dovetails and ways have........... prob originally was a handle with a thread?

Instead of milling that stop down and building a new one could you braze it to build it up than mill it flat like what Keith Fenner just did?

I used to use diluted purple power to clean the engine area on my vehicles but that white residue would get everywhere and it would fade out my anodized parts. Great stuff but I can’t stand the white crap it leaves behind, it’s almost like hard water stains.

First

Pleas kill the music. It's distracting and adds nothing to your project. Otherwise, good work.

interesting video. I wish that you did not feel the need to include music as a background to your commentary. Your work is sufficiently interesting without any need for added layers of entertainment especially by means of lift-music. I notice several complaints and your response suggests that you see it as someone else's problem. Try listening to your viewers instead of insisting that it's quiet enough not to be invasive. Why not try to understand that quite obviously it is invasive which is why viewers are complaining.

Trump ad? Later dude.
