Schaublin 102 (it's up and running!) 

Schaublin made beautiful lathes at astronomical prices. I am glad to see another one saved from the scrapyard. I think you did a Good Thing (tm) by putting in a VFD. The complications of a mechanical VFD are enormous and it saved much time. The heart of a lathe are the bearings and spindle and those look OK. Can't tell without more testing. I envy you :)

Hi great video, as a vintage machine re-builder actually operator turned re-builder in regards to you not having or affording the additional components that you did not get with your lathe I share this. I have a few vintage machines mostly micro, mini and instrument lathes Swiss, American, German as such they all did not originally have all of there feature attachments etc. Over the past two decades we have managed to acquire them and at prices we could afford, some attachments we have many of, added more machines and tools outside of lathes the Internet and making connections allowed these two guys to get what they needed. My advise is this, it is tougher now then when we began this journey (we think) as many people are into or aware of the value in vintage machines and tools of the past, that being said the keys for us were time and patients and making friends. The making friends part turned out to be the best and unplanned part of the venture, we actually make parts on the machines we bought and rebuilt to this day. We are new to your channel, your video is well done we look forward to seeing more of your videos thank you for sharing.

She's a beauty! Great machine, and great video. I'm sure you'll soon be head over heels in love with that lathe (if you aren't already).

Lock wire pliers now they are something you don't see much. Brings back some memories when I used to work on Hueys.

Nice work on getting the Schaublin up and running! First chips on the 102 were awesome, and motivation for me on my resto of a Habegger JH102 bench lathe.

You guys and those darn shapers! JEALOUS! It seems like Canada and Germany are the hot spots. Nice work Justin!

I'm not a machinist or an engineer, but I was enthralled by this video. looking forward to the next one

Really nice video of the whole project! Good job with the new motor and pulley! If you don't know already, on Schaublins, the chuck backplates have a ring that clamps the backplate to the spindle, preventing unscrewing of the chuck when the spindle is in reverse. See in the Schaulin 102 catalogues. Daniel

Really enjoyed the video. Your lathe looks like it is in really great condition.

I still use schaublin 102n and schaublin 102n VM. Great machine!

Nice video, enjoyed! ATB, Robin

Nothing can beat the 102 imo

Nice job!

Великолепный станок!

Well done

Looking forward to getting out to the shop sometime

great video, but for the motor spacers, a safer way of 'de-burring' is to set up a lathe tool, and just 'cut a taper', a small one, which only rounds off this edge. ( you should NEVER apply a hand-tool like that, to a running workpiece! (that's why when tapping, you use a hand -crank, for the Boley/Lorch and schaublin mini (watchmakers) lathes, of sizes 6/8mm as this is safer, and gives you more control, if 'something doesn't feel right' you can STOP, quick, and not break a tap, or other tool) .

I like the machine & I like your shop technique. Any vibration issues with the vfd mounted to the machine base ? Thanks for the video ! Len

I’ve got the same lathe with the flat top to the base , mine is number 224870

i nearly bought a 102 once. the cost of accessories scared me a bit. nice machine though!

my working place still use this lath....

May I ask, how much did you paid for that beautiful lathe ?

hi do you have a drwaing for the motor mounting plate i have tried and failed to make one just wondered if you can share this information kev

Hard to believe you didn't put a washer under that Toolpost nut.....

Awesome looking Lathe, about how old is it?

interesting, where are you from?

I had a 125 - even more complex drive

Nich Video and nice machine. But as a swiss guy it hurts me to see, that you add such a crappy motor to your Schaublin and also the frequency converter makes no sense with the variator. What happend to the original motor with the 2 windings? Toolpost: You can still get some Tripan toolposts here in Switzerland. Unfortunately the Tripan factory closed this year.

Please consider making you videos without the back ground music. I would much rather listen to the sounds of the machinery.

Сколько цена????

tool post, who needs a tool post, use your wrists like our grandfathers did

Horrible music

stupid disturbing music

I've got exactly the same model
