My affliction with collecting old iron and vintage machine tools has led me down the path of restoring this 1920-something Rhodes 7" metal shaper....Because shapers are cool? This one has some interesting modifications to it. In this video, I break it down, evaluate everything, clean it, paint it, and put it back together.
Part 2 of the restoration can be found here: • Rhodes Shaper Restorat...

That planetary upgrade is very cool! Great find!

Christine and I LOL'd at the USB comment and the goggles, good stuff!

The gearbox has an oil level hole with a brass screw in it, near the bottom. Just fill it until it comes out the hole, it should only have a tiny amount of heavy gear oil in it. Too much oil will put radial load on the gears and will strain the bearings. 🙂 Nice project! 👍

The frog green paint is undoubtedly Paris Green. Do not eat. 😎

Great job! I am truly gobsmacked at how precisely that gearbox was installed... makes it look like a factory option.

Clean machined cast is a sight to behold, very nice work.

Just re-watched 3rd time. 😊 love these builds!

I like how he uses a old school wrench to loosen and tighten the square head bolts.

My cousin has a similar Rhodes 7"..' he refurbished in the 1980's...thanks for sharing the restoration progress, great job!👍👍👍

That was so awesome I'm going to watch it again. Great job Jeremy. Cheers

@bustednuckles2 2 года назад

What a score! Very cool old machine in not horrible condition! I love that you took it all the way down and did it right. I can't wait for the next installment.

New to this block, enjoyed what's to see and looking forward to the menu. Thanks for the look.

@CraigsWorkshop 2 года назад

Nice work Jeremy. You are inspiring me to get my shaper shaping too. Happy new year. Cheers, Craig

@Thysddcf235 2 года назад

I have the same machine. Mine has a bake-o-lite bull gear. And was converted from the line shaft drive to a motor and pulley setup. It’s a nice little machine. Good luck with yours.

@Rustinox 2 года назад

That's a really interesting project. Nicely done so far. I will watch part two if it comes out, for sure.

@JeremyMakesThings 2 года назад

Thank you sir. You’ve been part of my inspiration for getting this thing going. Part two should be along before too long.

@therestorationshop 2 года назад

I have one of the first versions of this shaper, probably a prototype or early production. It is a good little shaper. Cool piece of history.

That is a very cool old, but in good working condition little shaper.

@davewilson1591 2 года назад

thanks for the brake down. I have the same machine and know little about it. It is set up on a line shaft though. subbed and will check out your other vids.

@jimsvideos7201 2 года назад

That planetary gearbox has a bit of an aviation feel to it, based on the thin ring gear. Then again if it was it would have part numbers on everything. Neat project, either way!

@mikehancho3500 2 года назад

The brass plug is the fill level hole on face of planetary but more won't hurt if it is not sealed and vented all depending on speed of it as well faster will build pressure due to oil heat soak and expansion

@crichtonbruce4329 2 года назад

I really enjoy watching you work. It seems you got very lucky with this machine: little seems too broken to fix, wear seems fine for being so old, and almost none of the parts were frozen in.

@desertTooHot 2 года назад

Nice!

@bearsrodshop7067 2 года назад

Morning Jeremy.the Rhodes, Atlas, and SB's are more friendly when comes to tare down and reassembly. Kinda wish Klopp had simplified there machines, would made my life a lot easier. Holidays did slow the tare dw a bit, and the Shot Well sprayer I ordered 2wks ago, is setting on a ship, god knows where? Prior owner pumped the ram and gear boxes full of grease, and Klopp use only 30sae non Detergent shell motor oil. Bull and trans gears do use grease, but since the 450 is a tank, having to clear on the shop floor. Nice that you took time to share the Rhodes, and enjoy. Will come back to see it's next videos,,,Bear.

Excellent job , I've got a 20" shaper to restore don't know what kind it is or how old it is but it's big and heavy. Great video..

@OuroborosArmory 2 года назад

How can you restore a machine on RU-vid and not have either a dirista pick, or a hand tool rescue wrench?!?! Your a rebel!

@JeremyMakesThings 2 года назад

I DO WHAT I WANT!!!

@who-gives-a-toss_Bear Год назад

14:28 I would advise that automotive gear oils with any EP additives will eat any yellow metal bushes in the gearbox. Use a Gl1 automotive gear oils should have no additives.

@jster1963 2 года назад

You beat me! I’m 95% done restoring an Atlas 7B and am doing a 4 part series on the restoration. Shaper videos are scarce on RU-vid so it’s good to see a good one. Great job!!

@aboyd656 2 года назад

Phillips head bolts for jack screws? You are bold!

@metalworksmachineshop 2 года назад

on gear boxes like the one you have. I mix a good grease and oil together and squirt it in,,, how much?? ALL of it.. lol

@camillosteuss 2 года назад

ran through the comments to check if anyone said anything on it, but that bent spring was probably pushing against a ball at some point, its a detent, not a hard one, likely to hold the indicating collar at a certain position... My schaerer ``UN`` lathe has a few similar elements and im not talking about the autofeed ball clutches that disengage upon hitting the stop, im talking about ball detents that interact with handwheel collars and ride in an internal ground in spiral path, one seems to be meant to drive the collar and indicate the feed when a taper attachment is used... I will have to see, its a lathe that i am atm restoring to her glory, so at the moment i am not completely introduced to her finery and secrets...

@JeremyMakesThings 2 года назад

There was another one on the lead screw, there was a little piece of felt between the spring and the dial. I think a set screw was added to the dial on the slide on the ram to “replace” the spring on the dial. My mill has the spring and ball setup on the dials.

@camillosteuss 2 года назад

@@JeremyMakesThings yeah, as you said in second vid of this shaper... I just assumed it to be what my machine has as i didnt consider it a holding mechanism, but you might more than be right, as on such a screw, it makes no sense for it to have anything to do with actual indicating apart from dampening the vibration and making sure the collar stays still... I hope to pick up a shaper soon... They are quite big and to a point not the best thing to have, but then again, when you consider what they can do and that you can let them do their work while you do something else a few feet away is a marvel... Its just that the ones i find are around 2 tons, which makes them quite fucking big... bigger than i would like to house at the moment, or restore... i have a 3 ton lathe that i am restoring, that is work enough...

How do you keep track of where all the little pieces go?

@JeremyMakesThings Год назад

I video the entire disassembly process process. 😆 But really, sometime I go back and watch the video to see how things go together.

Just found your channel. Interesting, but having tried all sorts of rust removal methods I must say that Evaporust is expensive, and no more effective than white vinegar. Anyway, I've subscribed.

@GoPaintman 2 года назад

Evaporust is much more gentle than vinegar and if applied correctly, more effective. They use two different chemical processes

@JeremyMakesThings 2 года назад

The biggest advantage evaporite has is I can throw stuff in and come back three weeks later, which is helpful since I’ve usually got 8 different projects going on at once.
