No restoration, nice cleaning, fresh oil and grease.

Phil man, you must have upset the God of mills ! The amount of work and the amount of mechanical intricacies of this machine looks more like a penance than fun. Or maybe a test of mechanical manhood ! 😊😊I realize now that when I did the same as you plus scraping in the guide ways to my Bridgeport, I was merely graduating to kinder garden ! Good job my friend and keep up !

Great work sir 👏 😊❤

Scotch bright pads are not going to damage ways , unless u rub them for 3 decades with it. The maroon pads are fine. I use wd40 and a maroon scotch pad to clean rust off ways. Ive been restoring and scraping machine ways in for 20years. Please dont spread false information. That machine your doing is in Beautiful condition other then being dirty. That was an easy machine clean up. Great lathe

Hello Phil, great 2nd video on the rebuild of the Fexac, I am very interested in any hints or potential problems with this rebuild as I have just purchased the exact model here in Australia. All seems to work ok apart from the feed box, the right hand lever moves through all indents but the left hand lever is stuck in its location ( I am yet to look at this problem as I only had it delivered 2 days ago) mine also has arbor supports but no arbor for horizontal milling. I have obtained parts list/diagrams from a company in Spain, but they are slow in replying about another request for an operators manual, (which they have said it would be in Spanish) Do you have any manuals for your machine and would they be in English. From the parts list I have, there is also a vertical slotting head available for the mill. Cheers from The Land Down Under. I have also just subscribed

Man that Awesome, I'm from Brazil and machines here are a lot expensive, even used one So I'm building my self a lathe, inspired in one Colchester MK2, your video full of details help me a lot, and I love this kind of well done vídeos Thanks for the effort and I already subscribed to your channel

Thank you for the great. It's exactly what I was looking for !

That’sa cool machine! Is it a clone of a Deckel model?

You’rea machinist!! Make a pin spanner that looks like a deep socket…. Also, put that adjustable wrench away! 🤓

Realy good work Phil, nice refurb, plus the fact you had a good machine in the begining,( diamond in the rough).

This is not a restoration, is just a cleanup! Restoration means measuring of flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity on every moving part in relation to head of the machine. Restoration means also, grinding and scraping on the surfaces that have wear or excessive wear over the years of use in order to achieve flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity. If you find a broken part - since it’s a restoration project - you have three options, a. trying to fix it (if this is possible), b. make a new one, c. searching to buy the original part from shops that selling surplus parts etc. Restoration also means, changing of every bearings the machine have' inspection of the apron leadscrew, the leadscrew of the cross and top slide - in case of excessive wear you'll need the change or make new leadscrew-s. The final step of a restoration is the paint job - usually the original color of the machine. Adding a DRO, a new chuck, or another QCTP are consider add-ons and we are doing this simply because we want to improve the accuracy and the quality of the parts we going to make with the restored machine. This just my humble opinion on how a lathe should be restored.

Hmm this last lathe restoration video is 5 months old. I just subscribed but wonder if you are planning to upload the third part of the series.

Are you going to see how true the ways are compared with each other? I saw how Keith Rucker have done it (I think you know him on RUclips). He is really good with scraping lathe ways.

You have built a dream there man.

Hi Phil, I’m really enjoying your channel. I’ve watched your previous two videos on your lathe overhaul and found them very useful because I’ve just purchased 4 days ago) a Cholchester Triumph 2000 which I believe is the same as yours with just a different name. The dealer I purchased it from has changed the gearbox oil but I’m not sure what he used so I will drain it and put the correct oil in it. Thanks for that piece of important info. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

What do you spray to clean the machine?

Hast du den Motor umgepolt wegen der Lautstärke und dem zahnrad zur Änderung der drehrichtung? Meine Colchester triumph 2000 ist auch sehr laut. Könntest du das nochmal erklären? Stehe auf dem Schlauch. MfG Wilhelm

Schöne Drehbank

Gotteswinter standards precision workshop. Respect!

Sieht sehr gut aus, klasse geworden.

Thank you for the video. My workshop space is around the same as yours. I also take inspiration from Clickspring's tiny shop space.

Just came across your channel. I look forward to watching more from you.

Very impressive workshop! And your video and editing are excelllent too, very professional. Liked and subscribed. 👍🛎

So cool!!! So many mechanical parts make up such fine equipment. I marvel at your ability to work with your hands, perhaps you have some contact information or email address we could chat about collaborating?

Absolutely fantastic organization of your tools. It must have taken a long time to print out all of those tool holders.

Good one, top score, well done !!

Excellent looking shop you have made here. I hope to have my own one day

Super warsztat 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾

Very cozy space. 👍🏼

How does that threading indicator works if the gear stack doesn't engage the key?

stabil, ich hab viel mehr platz und es sieht nicht halb so gut aus :)

Just as a shoutout to anyone installing a DRO. Or will I just sound like a grumpy old man picking on every small detail… 🙄🙈😅 If it’s anything like the ones I have (it sure looks so), the installation manual says to keep the transportation lock/adjustment shim (the black plastic piece in the background at 37:00) in place for the correct spacing between the head and scale, when tightening it. I’m not saying you did anything wrong here. It might just be out of the video. Just a small detail for anyone looking for inspiration in this awesome project and video. 👌 Impressive to say the least. Edit: And just because of me commenting about the spacer/liner you mentioning it less then two minutes later. 🤦‍♂️ I’m sorry for jumping the gun here. Ooh, and your brackets look 1000x better than mine. Really nice.

First time viewing your channel. Great job! I have a little bigger shop but it is a challenge for sure to layout ones shop, especially when one keeps adding more machines to it! Yes I subscribed...!

I would love to see your “sorting and storing”-process for this one. How do you bag, mark and keep everything in its place for ease of (sub)assembly?

How is it possible that I haven’t found this channel before? 🤷‍♂️ Definitely need to have a look through your content. 👌

Well organised little workshop. Excellent work making the lathe threading dial.

Fantastic work - I'm very interested to see your solution to the 26tooth gear issue in the headstock. Danke!

You got my sub 🎉

Very interesting and a superb use of very limited space. Excellent job on recreating the thread dial indicator, the result looks really good. 3D printing of tool holder storage brackets was a good idea. I have the same lathe as you but I think mine is slightly longer (40" variant) Vielen Dank!

Workshop Tetris :)

29:04 a mouse will really enjoy living in your tool holder box

Well i'm impressed, well done that man.

Hallo, i have a question: how do you power those tools. Im planning on getting something similar but they are 380v three phase. I have 220v here.

i think that floor is gonna be a real problem for cleaning around

if you don't want to lose an arm or your life don't use gloves. " Two tons of machinery" and the dude wears gloves on the lathe

jeez, youre as organized as clough42, which is rare !

Good work..subscribed..🎉

Amazing job! ill probably take some inspiration for setting up my own garage shop soon. Might I recommend making a access hole in the side of the box holding all your taper holders? Knowing myself I would definitely drop something in there and struggle to take it back out haha

Hey man well done organizing your tiny machine shop. I know exactly what it's like, my shop also has an available floor space of 5 square metres which houses a medium sized 900mm x 300mm lathe, medium sized universal knee mill ( hafco HM54GV for those in Australia ) I also have a universal tool and cutter grinder a pedestal drill a jib crane, small pedestal grinder/linisher and tooling trolley for the mill plus other tool boxes oh and a bench with a vice all in that space, outside that room I have mig and tig welders and a medium sized band saw. If I have to set up the mill for horizontal cutting I have to take the grinder/linisher outside otherwise I am trapped in the room. I don't know what the humidity is like where you are but one tip I would give you especially having a 3D printer is everywhere you have metal and wood surfaces touching together put a plastic barrier between them or you will have a rust problem because wood draws moisture from the air and holds it. I have to keep everything covered in plastic here due to the humidity. Oh and magnetic pickup tools are great for cleaning up the chip mess. Happy cutting and look forward to your next video.

Very nice Mill. Everything about it is industrial quality. Now that everyone knows where it is, hopefully the Bundeswehr won't ask you to make missile parts with it if the Russians invade..😅
