Swiss toolroom machine restorations and DIY projects.
The Old House | Bomb Shelter Deconstruction
We bought an old house from the early 70s. Almost everything needs to be renovated. So all machine shop projects are on hold for some time, sorry.
I'm obviously working on several areas of the house concurrently. The bomb shelter wasn't exactly the highest priority one. But it happened to be the least complex one so it's the first one which was somewhat done enough to release a first video about its renovation. The room will eventually be repurposed into a paint booth. More on that later.
Hope you enjoy.
Project statistics:
Runtime: 25 weekends
Footage: 61 hours, 3.58 TB
Edit: 584 clips

SCHAUBLIN 22 | Ep4: Moving
Просмотров 1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
I didn't abandon the Schaublin restoration. But the house around it. Moving the one tonne machine out of my former workshop with no ground level access was a bit of an act which I thought would deserve its own episode. I didn't get to finish editing Ep3 yet because I was busy selling a perfectly new house for an old and crappy one, which makes sense because I have way too few restoration projec...

I finally get to lay my hands on the machine: a first attempt at cleaning it, fixing the central lubrication hose, measuring spindle runout, dismounting the damaged joystick. It took a while to get the video out. Not because there was no progress, but because I still struggle to find my voice here.

SCHAUBLIN 22 | Teaser Trailer
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Год назад
This teaser is the first in a series of videos about the restoration of my Swiss toolroom milling machine, a 1980s Schaublin 22. I had actually planned to start the restoration over a year ago. But I quickly wanted to build a simple camera slider for my mobile phone camera to get some footage of the milling machine before I touched it. One axis of movement became two. Then five. The mobile phon...
Home Machine Shop Blast Gates
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
Unlike a traditional woodworking blast gate for a high-volume dust collection system, this one is more suitable for metal workers and toolmakers. Based on a cheap, manual cast aluminium gate, the modifications include pneumatic operation and electronic state monitoring. A central programmable logic controller is used to control the shop vac and open and close the individual gates. The new belt ...
Swiss Belt Grinder Amacker + Schmid AS15 - Restoration
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.2 года назад
I restored this old, Swiss-made belt grinder over a period of two years. It took so long because the restoration triggered a couple of side projects, including some major ones, like the extension of my workshop to make room for a sand-blasting cabinet, building a small spray paint booth, and buying my first lathe (yet another restoration project). 00:00 Frame casting repair 04:42 Bearing remova...
Wenn es ginge, würde ich 10 Daumen hoch geben, großartiges Video
Danke Ralf!
Where did episode 3 go?
You really went an extra mile with that work. Chapeau bas!
Thanks. I considered the project also a learning and practicing opportunity for the renovation of the more frequently used rooms in the house. So the extra mile pays off later.
Du bisch eifach krass! Guet, hesch es bi 40min loh!
Ja, so hät's sogar mini Schwöschter bis am Schluss glueget 😄
Perfeito 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯🤩🇧🇷
Thanks!
Very well and neatly done, Hope you'll take into consideration wearing a respirator during mixing cement and similar dusty materials, those are very nasty and very harsh on your lungs, Last thing, I like that you're establishing an inviting environment for your kids to be around and learn essential skills, but don't ever go easy on safety measures, especially when handling heavy elements in their presence, Best wishes for you, I'll keep waiting for more, 👍
Thank you. Many first times in this one. Unfortunately, with the beard, the simple respirators won't do the trick. It's always either the PAPR or quickly holding my breath and telling myself that I do this stuff too rarely for it to be significant. Fully agree to never take such shortcuts with the kids around.
Unbelievable amount of work, top workmanship takes proper time, thanks for bringing us along and doing a great job, looking forward to more.
Thanks. I made this one look easier than it was. Otherwise the video would have been even longer.
You might need it, given the state of the world
We have bought into a municipal shelter, where we will have a bit of company and proper toilets during the nuclear winter.
Fantastic job!
Thank you. It's really only half finished, but the other half might take even longer.
I don't understand how the wiring works completely, you didn't show what happens with the power cable and control box exactly? Did you use shoepolish to blacken the plastic fan? :o
What happened to episode 3?
What did the base mesure? Trying to figure out if I Can fit it in my basement door😅
This will be exciting!!
too short :D
Thanks for the feedback. I can fix that with the next one : )
able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. that was impressive how you rigged up the lift. I would be wary of the stability of the deck with that much weight.
Having recently taken half a day to move my lathe 1.5m and nearly tipped it over more than once I’m both impressed with your preparations and very relieved that your homemade gantry crane worked. It was stressful to watch so I can only imagine what it was like in person. But it looks like you have a great space in which to set it up now!
The funny thing is that it actually felt quite safe to me. Because about three years ago, when I moved the machine in the other direction using a similar setup, but without the two steel props for support, I could see the steel beam bending under the load and I felt the whole balcony swinging under my feet as the electric chain hoist started and stopped. THAT was stressful. But it still worked. So it felt safe this time. But I'm still relieved to have a ground-level workshop now and hopefully never have to move machinery like that again.
Damn glad you stuck with her, that machine deserves a loving, gentle hand and a conscientious operator... She is one fine beauty - she may squeak and rattle a bit now, but with a bit of loving care, scraping, rulon/turcite and elbow grease, she can be set back to virgin state... There are components there which cost an arm and a leg to replace, along with a kidney and a lung, but this is one of the rare instances in the modern world where you get what you pay for... That is to say - high grade, proper quality goods... Tho, on that note, it`s really a bitch that S22`s have the nasty tendency to have their handle rods/spindles snagged on and snapped off... Also, speaking of snagging and snapping, you bloody madman, who lifts a machine like this up on a second floor... I saw that crane in the making, and i just refused to speculate on it`s use in that instance... I knew what you would use it for, but damn... Should any of that anchoring have failed, that machine would truly have been turned into a 1000kg boat anchor to be smelted down and turned into some modern junk... Pretty fucking ballsy my brother in Omnissiah... That bordered on high heresy right there... Hopefully you haven`t angered the machine spirit in that one... Greatly looking forward to your future works regarding this glorious specimen... Also, keep natural wood off of silver surfaces(machined), if you are using wood on silver surfaces, douse the wood in some way oil or similar beforehand... Wood is full of it`s own oils and quite a lot of wood is rich in acidic oils and other acidic compounds, all of which induce rust in a hurry on contact... Quite a lot of synth. oils on the other hand have the ability(additive pack) to tolerate some contamination like such and neutralize it - before saturating fully and turning acidic thereafter... All my pallets that act like a footrest for my machines in waiting are soaked in way oil... Generally a bad idea, but i keep steel and alu slabs underneath to give some proper compressive support to the oily wood, while making sure that a pallet jack can sneak in... All the best and warm regards! Steuss
I won't back down on her.
@@monochromworkshop You have my commendations for that, fine sir! On the topic of machines, do you have any other machines? Best regards!
Exciting stuff!
Hello from Ireland, new subscriber here, just found your channel and looking forward to more videos
Great video hope you keep them coming. I would suggest on surfaces other than ways that DAWN spray dishwashing soap will absolutely dissolve any dried on oil it comes in contact with - and smells better than brake cleaner. I recently bought a 1950's Gould &Eberhardt Toolroom shaper and the oil on it had probably been there since 1950 - looked just like your Schaublin. That DAWN ate it up...
Thanks for your comment and the tip with the DAWN spray. I will give it a try when I start with the parts which don't fit in my parts washer. Progress on the Schaublin came to a stop because I'm moving to a now house. I will have to do some home renovation videos before I can continue with the mill. But I'm very much looking forward to the much bigger shop.
Truly incredible work and very well designed - scratches my ocd itch so nice. Beautifully done.
could you give us some specs on this sander Is it a 6x48 belt size ? What would be the maximum RPM of that motor or the kw or hp ? That was a nice clean build restoration !
Thanks for your comment. It's a 2.2 kW machine with a surface speed of 20 m/s at 2850 rpm. The belt size is 150x1500 mm, hence the name AS15.
@@monochromworkshop thanks for the info! I'm about to build one myself but my motor is only 1450 rpm and 1.5 kw 3 phase. I hope it will be enough for most operations
I’m really enjoying your videos! I hope you don’t find it too unpleasant to make English voiceovers because - at least for me - they are really useful. I like to understand the thought process that’s involved in working on a repair or a fabrication job. I also like to understand how different people react emotionally to problems, puzzles and mistakes. From RUclips I feel like I’m learning not just how to do the work but also how to think and manage my motivation while working on a project. Those things would be difficult to convey in a video that was either silent or just had text on screen. Also with your videos I enjoy the very dry humour! Finally: I’m looking forward to Ep3. I have a Schaublin 13 that might need a little work and I want to see how you get on with taking your mill apart before I take the covers off mine.
Hey Rob, thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate that a lot. Knowing that people find value in those videos is what keeps my motivation up to work on them.
love it! Keep in mind mate that YT algorithm really make it hard for creators if they dont create a lot of content often. Quantity and frequency of visitor getting back to your videos defines the algo signal. Also ASMR tone may not be the best choice here ;)
Thanks mate, I know, I really struggle getting Ep3 out. Regarding the audio: I would love to get the shop audio ASMR-like, but agree that for the voice overs, it might be too close now : )
Lovely machine and a great video. Enjoyed your meticulous work and attetion to detail. Worked on a Schaublin mill during my education as a toolmaker around 1990 and found it to be both accurate and a pleasure to work on. Looking forward to follow this project. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank You for making those excellent videos!
Thanks for being one of my regular viewers and for letting me know you like my videos. Hundreds of anonymous views don’t really mean anything but if there is someone giving you positive feedback, that keeps motivation up to keep sharing.
@@monochromworkshop I restoring some old macines my self so Your videos has been a genuine source of inspiration!
Eyyy, another one! Nice! I hope you have seen the grease name edit in my last comment, its the Kluber LDS 18 Special A... I wanted to ask how old is she? What`s the year of make? If i recall right, Schaublin has a website and you can enter your machine serial number(the metal tag next to the central lube pump) and check out a few things... Im not sure if the page design has changed, but yeah, its what i recall from the days when i first got mine home... I dont know if its standard, but mine has leadscrew spring steel spiral covers on both ends of the table... I find it interesting that yours lacks them... Tho, it could be just something im used to seeing on mine, but i would advise getting those for any machine you have... They are great for any shafts or screws that are exposed and can get shit flying or falling into them, be it splines or threads... There`s an ebay account that sells both such covers and the harmonica style covers for ways... If you want, i can link it, as i dont want to promote stuff on your channel that you dont endorse, but they have good shit in store... Not cheap, but im saying this not just due to the table leadscrew steel spring covers, but im wondering how`s your head ram cover? Mine was looking mighty fine when i first laid eyes on it, but when i took it off to clean and grease the screw and all the ancillary parts in the area, the thing was a gooey mess of oil rotten rubber and threads that turned plastic and brittle from the same oil and rubber decomposition and polymerization... Its a `complex`` geometry way cover and while it can be replicated at home, its a pain in the ass to repair with available flat materials that you have to affix to the dovetail plastic ``wipers`` that allow the thing to act like bellows.... Also, consider making an accessory block for the ram... You are unlikely to ever really pull the ram so far back that its dovetail wont be exposed by at least 15cm(4in)... I can send you, if you want, a lets call it a technical drawing of the idea i have in mind... Its a dovetail clamping block set(a larger accessory block and a narrow one) that is affixed under the ram, just by the head, and it is supposed to have an integrated swiveling angel eye lamp in it, an air blast clamp for chip clearing or a mist oil nozzle(plan calls for both as separate mounts), it comes with a narrow brother block so the ram can be given way covers between them... The narrow block is supposed to be bronze and to be sliding fit on the ram, so the ram can move in and out, and the block is kissed against the body of the mill with magnets, there is enough bronze there to negate the magnetic chip attraction, and the covers deny any of that shit anyways, so even if the chip or two sticks to the covers, well, it doesnt matter, as its the covers, not the ways... Well, i take that offer back, as i just checked my papers and i cant find the damn paper, so yeah, but you get my point i hope... Its not an accessory you see plans for or see often, as other mills rarely have such a conveniently placed dovetail that you can just slap accessories onto... I also had a drawing of the block for main z ways cover... Also a dovetail block that affixes at the top of the knee ways and allows you to drop a harmonica way cover with inox armor sheets... Just in case you shatter an endmill and it decides to fly at your ways rather than trying to disembowel you at high speed or put a hole in your face where there aint supposed to be a hole... If i find the papers, i will offer them to you, but for now, i guess the written idea will do well enough... The store i mentioned above offers such armored covers, so yeah, if you need good covers at decent price(not cheap, but honest and on point), i can share that link... The plans for the blocks are supposed to be open to interpretation or any potential modification, as you are unlikely to find the exact things that i made the plans to, and it doesnt matter, the dovetails are the same, and you can measure and fit your blocks to fit your machine perfectly, and the covers or accessories i referenced just to have some dimension to work from, but yeah, there`s my input for a first project once you have restored her to full glory and health... The joystick is also a bit different in my case... The screw that your has is not present on mine... The shaft has the same look, the same ``handle`` knob at the end, but the screw is a button that you press into the scalloped handle to switch to rapid feed... Yours appears to pull the handle out and thus activate the rapids... Quite strange... I wont say nothing about the bend in it, or the knee handwheel runout, as those arent there from factory, and whoever induced those is a vile beast in my eyes, but hey, i said i wont say nothing and here i am, spewing hate... Who in the hell mistreated that poor lady before you... Yikes! Get that handwheel axle sorted, that will cause insane wear on the internals and dial faces... You also said that you have the arnljot situation with the ram handwheel axle if i recall right... Damn, someone was a beast of the worst kind with that poor work of art... But im most glad to see you making progress... The machine overall seems to be in good condition wear wise, but specific parts are dicked quite badly... Thankfully, from what i see, mostly shafts and components that can either be machined anew or bought(potentiometers and such)... All the best and kindest regards, Steuss
Hey, thanks for sharing your ideas and experience! Did you ever publish pictures or anything about the accessories you built? I would be interested to see them. And I'm also interested in the link to that ebay shop for the leadscrew covers. I saw the spring steel ones on most of the 22 pictures I found so far and also in the manual. They were certainly standard from factory but they were missing on mine. And I actually don't know how old she is. Based on the color, I assumed it's an earlier model since I believe the later ones were gray. I could not find a way to lookup the serial number on Schaublin's website.
@@monochromworkshop No, i havent really taken any photos, nor have i really machined all that much, as all of my machines are essentially in some form of disarray or are waiting to be serviced... The S22 is sitting in my shop for a while now, clean, oiled regularly to keep any rust away, but other than checking her out to see if anything is amiss, i have not really made anything with her, as i want to take her apart fully, just to check if there are any chips or shit anywhere in the ways... I picked her up a few years ago, but with all the shit of daily life, and lack of some real funds, i am slowly working on a dozen machines that all need some form of touchup... It took me a while to make a heavy duty engine hoist type lift, but now that its 99% done, i am hesitating to finish it, as i want to complete it in a proper way, rather than bodging the last 1%... I unfortunately have the terrible tendency of delaying stuff, and that coupled with lack of time and funds really can stretch any project for ages... The link for the springs and covers is: www.ebay.com/usr/bfaccessory?_ipg=72&_pgn=1 I can take my technical drawings to a photo shop to have them laminated and scanned, so i could publish those, as i have amassed quite a thick stack of worthwhile ``plans`` along with some firestarter designs that i use to light my wood fireplace... Yeah, i checked schau website after writing the comment and i could not find that feature, only the support page offers you to write in your serial number, but that is for consultations... Maybe im going crazy and it was the ELB website that had that feature... I have got no idea at this point in time... With all the machines that i have taken up to restore, and with all the searching i have been doing in the last 5 years, i guess some things just got mixed up in the memory... My S22 is gray, the 7031 graublau, and i think i recall seeing somewhere the date referring back to 1972 on her, but im starting to question my memory a bit, so i wont make any claims for certain... Regarding the posting of stuff, i will start posting some videos in some time, as i do want to share and in so doing help others in the way i got all the help i needed... I just have to get my shit in order... I`ve seen hardcore heroin addicts with more organized lives than my own... So there`s that... All the best!
you truly have some balls of steel :D great video as always
👍👍
Great job, man! I have a question about the ultrasonic cleaner - after all would you recommend it for such a jobs? I'm thinking about getting one before starting my Bridgeport restoration project..
I wouldn’t recommend it as your primary tool to clean parts. I would get a manual parts washer first. The ones with the brush and flowing liquid. But I will do a separate video only on cleaning parts. It might take me another month or two, though.
Absolutely cool! Well done. The joystick is solid. Already curious about that video...
That was extremely professionally built.
Regarding the lubrication hose you can look up any of the suppliers for central lubrication systems (Sinntec, Hennlich, Larco etc.) and search for "Schraubhülse" (~ screw-on bushing). These fittings are pretty common for such applications since they do not require very costly crimping machines.
Great start and I can't wait to see next episodes! I have a Bridgeport waiting for some little love and your work is an inspiration!
Great video, I love your lighting and camera work, it's really good! That machine is going to be great when you are finished with it Yes voice overs are something I am always unsure about, I hate doing them and sometimes wonder if I should leave them out. As others have already said your voice over is fine though!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm still using a mix of true video lights and the flickering LED spots which I use as work lights. I have most of the material ready to build a couple of large scale panel lights which should improve lighting a lot.
@@monochromworkshop When you say video lights I assume you mean the style with the parabolic mirror behind the LED and soft box diffuser? I want to get better with lighting, I only use a pair of Neewer 660 lights. hey are ok, but I really need brighter directional lights so I can see what I'm doing, and to get more contrast to the dark background You have that contrast perfect in my opinion!
@@TomMakeHere My only video light is a small Amaran P60x wich I use with the small soft box and grid that came with it. My workshop is too small for larger mobile lights. That's why I would love to build permanently installed lights in my shop which are both soft and directional. I'm currently experimenting with different materials for diffusion and to achieve directionality. I found that especially for wider shots, honeycombs and the like are key to direct attention and avoid filling the whole room with light. The Neewer 660 you have look very nice, especially for that price. The balanced swiveling hinge is so much more convenient than the single side attachment of my Amaran.
Your English is great and the voice overs are a real treat to hear your thought process. This is already starting out as a great series and very eager for the next episodes!
Been looking forward to this since your teaser video a while back! I'm pretty jealous of some of the functionality honestly. Looks like DC braking on the spindle motor? The feed joystick with rapid traverse is pretty awesome as well (or will be once you get it operational 😉). Brake cleaner is nasty but it's your best friend in a restoration. I'd also recommend a penetrating oil (WD-40 or PB blaster for the surface rust) As for your voiceovers I think you are doing great! Definitely worth including. The audio mix sounded good and you even started to come out of your shell a bit in there which got a few chuckles from me. Trust me when I say the more you do them, the more confident you'll get, and the more you will find your voice. Just takes repetition! Hope to see (and hear) more!
Hi Brandon, thank you for your encouragement with the voice overs, means a lot! Proud to have you watching my videos.
@@monochromworkshop Absolutely, man!
No worries sir, your voice-over is recreational enough to me, waiting for the upcoming videos, hopefully they won't be late keep up the good work
Hey, i would like to point you towards Arnljot Seem, he has a Schau22 and a few videos on her... He also rebuilt the electronics for his Schau, so he can be of great help to you, as he was to me... Other than Arnljot, I too have a Schau22, and i feel deep love for any great machine, and even tho i dont own your mill, i love her nonetheless... So, you my dear sir have my offer of whatever guidance i can provide... I have a full user manual, and am willing to send a copy of it to you, should you need it or lack one of your own... To further touch upon that point, there is an english pdf version thereof online, to be had for free... I have that pdf aswell, so if you are unable to find it for whatever reason, tell me and i will email you the file... I should still have it on my pc somewhere... But i can always scan my original and make a pdf file to send to you, should i have lost the file i found online 4 years ago, when i got my S22... If you plan on touching up the spindle(as in full bearings change) i highly advise you to look up robin renz and his precision spindle video, and follow what he says religiously... The S22 is an ``ultra precision milling machine`` as per Schaublin themselves, and any single cut corner during the rebuild is essentially sin... Kind of like watchmaking... Its a process that requires and deserves absolute diligence and fanaticism on the behalf of the operator... Theres a reason why such jobs usually cost in the 10-40K$ range, depending on the scope of the rebuild, when done by right people from whom you will get better than oem results(which is a tremendous feat in itself)... Also, should you need any info or pictures on how things look when they are as from Schau assembly line, i can provide... I wasnt there nor have i worked for Schau, but my S22 is a new-old stock which sat quietly for a few decades before she came into my loving embrace... The main lubricant you need is a Kluber grease... Its used for all bearings, and its used to repack the spindle bearings(which tells you a lot about every other ancillary bearing in the machine)... I cant recall the name right now, and im too lazy to walk downstairs to check the tub`o`grease i have for name or extract the data from the machine manual, which is also in a safe enclosure downstairs... But i will edit the comment tomorrow and add the name here: ``(LDS 18 isoflex special a)`` Regarding voiceover, i think you should do it... I am going to start filming my machines and restoration of some of them(as some dont need restoration), and i will talk, despite english not being my primary language, its practically essential, especially in videos like this... Hell, even CaLem who is definitely not a primary english speaker does talk a bit, and it greatly adds to his content and quality... Dont feel pressured into anything, but consider it, as it will ultimately help you develop your english and make your content much more sought after, as you arent braggadocios and full of shit, you will naturally bring up only the worthwhile points, which always acts as a quality checkmark and a bonus to a good video... For now, all the best and kindest regards...
Wow, thank you so much for your very comprehensive comment. I watched all of Arnljot's videos before I bought my machine. Some of the issues he faced are the same with my machine. The broken Z-axis hand wheel, for example, as I only recently found out. Since my machine didn't come with the manual, I ordered a copy from anglo-swiss-tools. Since the plans will come all cut up on different pages, I had to scan them and stich them back together. However, some of the details are just not recognizable in these plans. Not sure this is an issue of my copy only. Also, I don't have the wiring diagrams for the machine but I think I will eventually need them. I may get in contact with Arnljot for that. A full bearing change on the spindle will definitely remain far beyond my capabilities for a long time and I hope that the spindle is in a good enough condition for me to use the machine for my applications.
@@monochromworkshop The spindle isnt really all that monstrous of an undertaking, and its more a dedicated clean-room work with as much prep as went into the whole machine cleanup and assessment... Sure, it seems like a colossal undertaking and one that needs an extreme amount of skill, but generally, if you prep everything well, and use heat and cooling(like lighter gas filler bottles to cool down the things, or those freeze-nut-breaker sprays and heat on opposing parts) the whole precision assembly that is the spindle and its bearings, will perfectly slide in to position and you will feel it ``hit`` the hard shoulder... Its supposed to be a smooth and gentle process where anything that offers resistance is likely an indication that you either havent cleaned it well enough or that its not properly prepared(temperature manipulation of tolerances)... Kind of like handling a very young baby... If you sense pressure other than gentle touch, you could be doing harm very soon... So dont be discouraged from it all too much in that regard... The price of oem spindle bearings on the other hand will likely discourage you away for a while... I cant begin to guess what they cost, but it would not surprise me that they are 1k$/piece... That being said, im most glad that you have seen arnljot`s channel... He seems like a really nice and decent man, and a person dedicated to proper handling of machinery and his shop... As said, if you want, i can help you in some ways... Like taking measurements and pictures of the headstock overarm cover plate, which is a rhomboid piece of iron with two holes drilled down the center line lengthwise... It should be an easy diy part, and you could opt to make it out of good alloy steel and heat oxidize it into some pleasant and appropriate colour, before cooling it and polymerizing oil on the surface to give the oxide a durable protection and high gloss... Like those dark blue oxides, or the 372C purplish blue(akin to often seen titanium finishes)... I prefer such gentle details in conjunction with blaugrau machine grey finish... And unlike paint, its molecularly bound iron oxide with impregnated layer of polymerized oil, so it wont wear off anytime soon or chip when you sneeze near it... And lubricants wont ever damage it... I will check that Kluber grease now and update the original comment, so there`s that at least, but i well recall Arnljot specifically mentioning the grease name in one of his vids and lamenting the price... *edit(``lds 18 isoflex special a`` is the grease) Keep in mind that Arnljot changed out his electrical finery, so his cabinet plans are custom and not oem(they are arguably better, as they are done with more modern parts, but its a whole project in and of itself)... I will take photos of my manual and send it to you, as that will have whole pages, hopefully resulting in less lost detail... The Z handwheel, or the Arnljot situation as i call it is quite a bitch, and i am at a loss as to how that could ever happen(what with the size of the shaft attached to it) to a single machine, let alone two... But if i were to speculate, i would guess that some crude brute used lifting loops and belts, but attached them carelessly and allowed the handle to take most of the load of a swinging and shifting machine to prevent her from flipping or toppling over like a domino as she was lifted up, which could crack such a shaft, as it seems to be an iron shaft, not steel, from what i have seen in Arnljot`s video, and iron is shit in contending with tension, which is exactly what would be exerted on that shaft in such a mishandling... Either way, im heading off to check the tub`o`grease and take a few pics... I`ll be back... All the best! Steuss
Thank you for this. I like the voice overs, sorry if they are a pain!
Thanks for letting me know. I hope it will eventually become less awkward and more natural to do them.
@@monochromworkshop I'm sure it will happen.

The side project was worth it because every second of this video is 👌 No doubt you will use it a gain and I'm pretty stoked to see what you end up doing with the Schaublin!
And I'm pretty stoked you watched my video! I'm a huge fan of your channel. You're the reason one of my upcoming restorations will be a drafting table 😄
@@monochromworkshop No way! You know I love hearing that then. Quite a contrast to your automation efforts I have to say. I'm definitely looking forward to that as well. Thanks, man!
This is a fine example of some thoughtful electromechanics. Good stuff, man! I have to wonder if a fully PLC controlled shop is in your future 😁
Thanks! These electronic components are so cheap and convenient these days. My homemade compressor even has a built-in web server for no reason at all.
@@monochromworkshop 😂 I'm actually surprised by that... what little experience I have with industrial PLCs (Siemens and AB), is that they are priced a bit out of the hobbyist realm. Are you using an older model line? Or something that is marketed toward shop tinkerers?
@@monochromworkshop I’m also curious about where you get your various automation parts. I’m specifically interested in where you find all your electrical components… thanks!
10:16 I have been thinking about these drawers all week, do you have any more information on that build? What material are the drawers made out of? Very brilliant way to keep everything organized below the machine
It's core colored MDF. Cheap and very easy to machine. That's the one material I keep coming back to even though I mostly abandoned woodworking. As long as you can keep things dry, it's very versatile. I only use a simple bottom panel with no side walls on Blum Movento runners with a front panel attached to it using domino dowels.
@@monochromworkshop thanks for the reply, i was pondering MDF, I did not know about the core colored options they have, that would hide any accidental oil contact better than regular MDF. The soft close Blum slides are a great touch, looking forward to your Schaublin mill video soon! All the best.
I get goosebumps every time I watch your videos! Your teaser has turned out really cool. And the camera robot is awesome! Finally you can continue with the main project 😉
But worth every second of it. Looking forward to the restoration videos. Can't image the work of dissembling such a machine. Good luck.
