If you machine a shallow groove a few millimeters from the held-end of the boring bar, it will help align the bar when fitting into the socket.

What is the diameter of the hand wheel?

Good to hear the wife is doing well Mr.Tom!! Man a half a gallon, that was crazy. Good thing you checked!!! It's a shame when you can't get a live person on the phone!! Thank you my friend, look fwd to seeing what's next !! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲

Glad your wife is doing good. Hope she has a quick recovery. I can't believe it looks that good inside with that little oil in it.

Great to hear she doing good. Nice oil upgrade.

That was a cool build Tom. I enjoyed watching Brad's expression on his face upon the big reveil. Good one buddy.

Morning Tom. Great to hear your wife is doing well after surgery. I hope she recovers quickly and please pass on our well wishes to her. For a machine of that age that gearbox is looking very good all things considered. The gearbox oil was quite dirty, good idea to change them all out. Cheers Tom. Aaron. PS: look at the face on that poor little boy Kaos. He looks upset today, obviously dad isn't playing ball with him enough LOL

Hey Tom. Nice work on the arbor and boring bar. It really is a big machine isn't it. The video doesn't quite give it justice. Hey, glad to see the parcel arrived safely. I hope you enjoy it mate. If you if you don't use it you can hang it up in the office as a taliking piece. It looks bloody cold over there mate. It's been bloody hot over here in Melbourne Australia. 86f - 95f most days, even a couple at 100f. Have a good day Tom and talk soon. Cheers, Aaron.

That's a cool gift Tom. Congratulations and Merry Christmas mate. Kaos the german shepard is happier than pig in mud with his present. He loves being in that shop you with you mate. Cheers buddy. Aaron.

Hi Tom. Well you got to be happ with those results mate. That new MT5 arbor came out really well. Looking forward to see it ripping through some steel. Cheers, Aaron.

G'day Tom. Nice work on the pocket level mate. That was cool project to make. Cheers, Aaron.

Lol , it will be happy now it has a belly full of Texas Tea ! Cheers .

Man factory racing oil you better be careful with all that new horsepower you poured in! LOL

Hi Tom did I hear that year 190x right, is it that old? Interested to see the metal drive belt. Big machine. Cheers Paul

Gear box in good condition and happy with new oil. Good way to start the year :)

Hodwy Tom, I hope all is well buddy, best wishes to Beth, I've been of sick all week, so done youtube to death, very pleased that this popped up in my feed, thanks for sharing

I am glad your wife is doing well. Always love to see inside machinery. Cheers, Tom.

G'day Tom, it's always good when you open something up and it all looks in good condition. Your gears like all high-end machines have a ground lead in on the teeth to allow easier engagement when changing speeds, it's not wear on the teeth. Cam

Cool to see the inside of the gearbox. Depending on when you recorded this, some companies shut down between Christmas and New Years. 🤷🏼‍♂

Fun to see the inner workings, thanks for showing us around. Hope recovery continues to go well!

G'day Tom. That's a good looking gearbox, with a decent drive train. I use a Tellus 68 hydrolic oil, whether in a truck hoist, or a lathe, even in my skid steer bobcat . Never had problems with it. Waiting for you to fire up that beast, & watch it in Action Ted.

Cool to see the guts...thanks for sharing Tom!

Good to hear things are going good, And it makes you wonder how these places do business if you can't talk to anyone. Thanks Tom

Boy, I'm with you on automated phone systems.

Thanks for sharing 👍 Take care of that lady 😊

Gearbox looks in good condition Tom. Good to hear there's no damage and your wife's doing well. Poor old Chaos, he's bored stiff. Those automated answer phones are diabolical....Tony

Gearbox looks really good for its age. OPEC thanks you for your support 😂😂

👍🏻 Right on

The gearbox does look good considering the age of the machine. Glad to hear your wife is doing fine. See you next time. Take care. Nobby

Those appear to be taper plug valves. If there is a nut on the bottom pull it off. Take it apart, clean it up. Put a little lapping compound on the cone, work it back and forth in the valve body. Don't over do it. Clean it. Cover the cone with sharpie and make sure you are making contact through the entire cone. Should s all it up

as always Tom & Mr K thorough job done atb Kev

Looks good in there my one is drip feed to all the gears from a central tray then leaked out to the ground

good video Friend TOM

You really want a taper on your bar, or at least for it to have a shoulder and then tapered pin to draw it tight against the shoulder. I have found set screw type holders are much more chatter prone because there is clearance.

Good one Tom . The never ending story of guessing what you may need ! Cheers 👍

Thank you for taking the time to document the restoration of this surface grinder. It will be instrumental in getting mine back in good shape. So many tasks where I will not to learn first hand how to do it. I still have not found a maintenance manual for it... only the factory brochures and a few other documents that do not go into much detail...

nice job tom good to see it coming together be making chips soon

Great work as usual! Suggestion: Give Anchor Lube a try!

Hey Tom looks good i like your choice with boring bars . if Vevor contacts you try out there heat treat oven it's small 6x6x5 but its inexpensive $350 it's 1500 watts 120v maybe they might let you test it out . i got one haven't tried it out yet but how bad could it be . just an idea . JM

Another tool for the arsenal! I hope it performs well for you, but hey at least if you have to change it its just a bolt now. 🙂

Happy New Year Tom, thanks for sharing your build. Best regards to Bess, i hope she is doing well.

Hi Tom hope all goes well with the bride matty getting your package ready he has been flat out all the best trevor and matty

Neat job on the boring bar and arbour Tom. Happy New Year to you and yours. My very best wishes to your wife for a quick recovery. ATB Nobby

Nice. And another tool ready to go.

The machining possibilities for that horizontal boring mill are amazing. I wish I had one. Are you going to give Curtis over at CEE a run for his money? It was 72F here yesterday., but with the smoke you could call it a white Christmas.

Handy piece of tooling. You guys seem to be getting all the snow. We didn't get much of anything the last couple of weeks. My brother in Kentucky got 10 inches! Hope Bess's surgery goes well!

Nice job Tom. Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared and you are getting that machine ready for whatever comes in the door. Thanks for the video.

Greetings from Dresden (Germany)! 🍀🍀🍀❤🛠💪☀🕊💵🍻🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸😎

My wife had foot surgery the hardest thing was getting her in and out of the bathtub. She was zero help used a webbed weight belt for a hand holds. The weight belt was water proof. Hope you and yours well.
