Got this Swiss made Milling machine for a couple months. Cant wait more to do this. Hope you guys enjoy the video. I'll finish it in 2 videos. As always, Thanks for watching!
I was thinking of you tony when I clicked on this! Not in a weird way either. Way beyond my skill set. I would have a lot of parts to sell i f I attempted this.
You appeared in my recommendations yesterday - and I coulnd't stop watching! Your knowledge and enthusiasm is so incredibly inspiring! My great grandfather constructed and built several machines for his metal-shop in the 1930ies and we still use them, even though the ages demanded their toll. You encouraged me to refurbish these machines to homage his life's work. Thanks!
@Mr T It's not the case here. People want this machine because it is a proven one and the guy whom they "follow" shows how good it is. It's not a gimmick or anything, it is a very good machinery that lasts. That is the main reason people want it.
Beautiful piece of machinery! Thank you for documenting so much of the teardown up close. It's amazing to see how intricate the mechanics work together. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
You sir, are outstanding!!! Just to get it into your shop is a challenge by yourself, let alone completely disassembled by yourself. Now you have an even further daunting task of cleaning, and refurbishing each component before paint and reassembly. I have no doubt your up to the task. I've watched your videos with amazement of how thorough and determined you are bring glowing life back into your machines. No kidding, I'm not just "blithering" a bunch of words. I have great respect for you and how you are growing your shop. I've mentioned it before, in another comment of another of your videos, 'each tool added to your shop increases your agility to do more'. You are definitely amplifying your agility with this one. 👍👏👍
I remember my first months as a machinist in Switzerland. The Schaublin 13 was the first machine i did work with. Will be a perfect machine when you finished. Enjoy the work with the good old technic.
This is a monumental restoration!! Tearing down such a complex machine is a daunting project. I salute you my friend, can't wait to see it all finished!!
Man that's a lucky find! Looked complete and unbroken. What a work of art on the inside and a lot of parts. Love all of the lobed shafts and the bearings, not to mention the swivel table. The variable speed drive is similar to the reeves drive on my Rockwell lathe.
That thing has more gears, shafts, weird ellipsoid transmissions, bearings, and magic, than an F1 transmission. Amazing how precise it's built. Like a watch. Congratulations on such an amazing piece of engineering. And I envy your courage to completely disassemble it the way you did. Even had to make your own gear pullers. Can't wait for your next video. Good job.
Wow, it looked easy from the outside. Inside........ not simple! I really admire your ambition. It is going to be beautiful. can't wait to see it. Thanks Ca Lem!
I really love your presentation style. Some RU-vidrs think they need to say out loud what they are going to do, then restate in different words then explain why and then repeat and recap...... Then 20 minutes later they pick up a wrench.

Me too, i really hate too much talking video. except some cool and funny guys.
Quite brave for a young squirt..... I’ve no doubt you’ll get it back together. Have to state though, I’m sure most would agree this is the sort of thing very few would attempt once in a lifetime and if they ever finished the job, would look back on the journey as a major life achievement.... You on the other hand seem like you haven’t even contemplated any of that. Pulling that whole mill apart to that extent..... WOW!!
just for the sake of sharing, that rounded triangle shape is called "reuleaux". and it's the same geometry (not the exact same shape, but the "formula") used for gears teeth.
Wow what a awesome tear down job, parts management very good I’m glad you took a video of this process, glad both motors are working ok. Couldn’t wait until part 2 comes out🤙🤙🤙❤️
shes a real beauty ❤️ It’s mind blowing to see ALL that goes into the design of this machine and to think created the old fashion way. Paper and pencil. 😀
I refrain from using the term 'tear down' when it comes to things I restore, which are vintage Honda motorcycles. I prefer to 'gently disassemble' because NOS parts are so hard to find!! LOL Nice work and thanks for sharing.
This must be really exciting for you, That machine along with your lathe can make a living for you and a family for the rest of your life... Great purchase CaLem
Being organized and separating the parts in containers into there major sub assemblies, labeling those, taking pictures etc. It's really no different than a car or anything else complex as a repair or restoration. Anyone not willing to do so is going to spend far more time sorting through a pile of parts and most likely end up with poorer results and a whole lot of extra work when reassembling. Yes it takes time doing it that way, but it will take far more if you don't. A used machine will have parts worn into each other such as gears. So it's still better to put even two seemingly identical looking parts back into there original location.
It's a gorgeous piece of machinery! Lucky -- for it, us and you -- that it found it's way to you and will soon be producing chips again. As always, thank you for sharing the journey.
She is not the worst I have seen. That being noted, restoring a precision machine like that, and keeping her within tolerances, takes a heck of a lot of effort. If you manage to do that, congratulations and well done. You will have achieved what very few could.
@ I meant Germans/Swiss, because of Schaublin. But Japanese are up there too, if not at the very top (I assume you're Japanese). I can predict with certainty that Japan will end up on the top, given the smart immigration system they have. Germans are funding their own dispossession, unfortunately.
Always such a pleasure and a delight to watch you create and work... Cannot wait for the next few videos in the series. God Speed, God Bless, and best always.
It's the same machine that This Old Tony has, so you're off at a good start. Mind you, Schaublin is considered the Rolls Royce of milling machines. You keep up the good works! Get it up and running.

Willem Londen thank you. I still love the Bridgeport as a Mustang
I worked with a guy at a heavy equipment place and he would tear down transmissions, engines, and they would send him out on calls. Well he had a lot of stuff tore down laying all over the shop. One day he was in the shop working ( I don't remember on what ) but someone asked him if he was going to ever put any of that stuff back together. He said without missing a beat DOES IT PAY MORE. This reminded me of that. Any way great job keep them coming
Wow, I knew these were nice machines, but It has way more features than I realised TOT has been holding back! Great video, it will be good to see up and working

TommyGun Machining TOT’s version is newer and still in really good condition. As you just watched, the last owner of my machine didnt use it and maybe left it outside in the rain for a while. Everything so dry and rusty. That’s why i had to take care every single part.
Cool. Good job taking it apart. Im looking forward to follow the restoration. Good thing you have the video documentation, thats a lot of parts. This machine seems to be more complex than my Schaublin 22. Subscribed!

Arnljot Seem Maybe more complicated i think, not complex. 22 even better than 13 newer véion (mine is older). But in some cases older always better ;). Thank for watching sir!
