I will show all the tips I have learned over the years about restoring, design, engineering, and just fixing machines, cars, and tools. Sometimes breaking them, how else do we learn? I also want a channel to document the journey of teaching my son all that I know. Basically, anything that drives (mostly pushed) through the shop door we tackle. Please consider subscribing and lets learn from each other.

How did you know the surface of the stone was level? Did you level it in the past and usted a calibrated level to check it?
Initially I used my level to check the plate, but doesn't need to be extreme as long as it's within range of level. The important thing is the surface plate is mounted on a 3 point system and the surface is level. The plate must be in the range of accuracy of the tool you are using. The critical requirement is to be flat (b grade or better). I moved the level around to find a axis, around 17:38 mins into the video, until it read level. I put blocking behind the level then flipped the level so I am referencing the same axis and adjusted until it read the same. Some error will be shown to be in the surface (being used) and some in the level itself when you flip it. Please reference this link if what I said doesn't make sense, they provide examples, its "how to calibrate engineers levels" www.leveldevelopments.com/2020/11/how-to-calibrate-engineers-levels/.
Very nice training video. One suggestion: insert index fingers into level end slots, lift, rotate.
Could you email those extra figures?
Gorgeous Bridgeport, I'm going to level my mill today.
what leveling feet are you using?
These are the feet with no bar: machinerypartsdepot.com/product/bridgeport-leveling-feet-no-bars-bplvl-nb/ Here is the link with bar (entire kit): machinerypartsdepot.com/product/bridgeport-milling-machine-leveling-feet-bplvl/
Lots of helpful tips and information. Great video! Thanks
It’s a journey, and you will enjoy it at the end when your looking back at how far you have come. The rebuilding/repairing process is a learning curve. But then it’s on to accessorizing your newly rebuilt mill and you find that the cost of that process is far more than that of the rebuilding process. Tooling is expensive but it is worth every penny. Keep pushing through one step at a time my friend, you are doing great ! Best of luck!
"Hoister"? There is definitely a "y" in (Hi-ster)🤦
👍🏻
That’s actually hilarious! Materials Needed: #1, A Lathe! 😂
That is fantastic! Great video. Thank you for posting this. Very helpful. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
All it needs is a wedge under the one corner that will stop it from rocking. As for run out, you don't seem to be ready to work to tolerances closer than plus or minus .005. Spend more time making chips and less polishing the machine. My machines might be dirty, but i make chips almost every day. Practice makes perfect.
I appreciate your comment; we are all entitled to our opinions. Making a lot of chips doesn't mean that your stuff has to be dirty, just my opinion. This is my hobby and hobby shop, I make things and then clean up. Any machine that comes in gets this service so I don't have to worry when I want to make/fix something. Cheers.
Why do you call it a Hoister
Good stuff! Bet it turns out great
Helpful video. I'm getting ready to build my shop and planning out where to put the lift. This was very helpful, thank you!
Good video. Better to have to shorten than to lengthen. BTW, I hope you're not putting all this effort into a coupe.
Awesome video dude. I was going to build a leveling system and I found this. Thank you.
Get a magnetic starter, your running blast cabinet and i bet that compressor was kicking on constantly. The points were probably burnt the F up. Its not hard to wire up. You will run your ground and 1 hot leg from motor to starter, then run your other hot leg to your curent switch biggity bam no more issues.
How about crank the motor and put a starter fluid in your
I have a small shop. When I was laying out my 2 post lift, I found my widest car and arranged it so that if the car was centered on the lift, I would have enough room to do whatever i wanted. The operation that came to mind was if I wanted to pull an axle. If the car is centered on the lift, the outside of my post arms are 27" wider than the wheels. It worked out such that the post is 4ft off the wall. The car is 6'3" off the wall. Tool chests are 18-24" wide. So if I happen to have a toolbox parked up against the wall, the car is still 4ft and some change away from that.
Perfect selection of equipment… super clean mill too👍👍👍
Thanks!
Excellent video. Very informative. Thanks for sharing your experience.
What model lift is that ? I have a Forward lift coming , I wish I had your space , I'm only 18ft wide and 24ft long
It's a Atlas 9koh from Greg Smith equipment.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. I want to install a two and a 4 post for storage and was looking for this information and visualization. Doing a 60x40 with the 40x40 section being a shop
Thanks! Sounds like it will be a beautiful space! I do wish I made it a little taller for storage. Mine is 40x40x12.
i just retired after working for 50 years and in the middle of setting up a machine shop/welding and fab shop for something to piddle with. Same problem: if there is a level place on my floor I ain't found it yet lol. See last few months of my videos if you have a minute. Like your shop too.
Thanks! I will check it out your channel. Yes, lol, in my shop nothing is level and the corners are really bad.
Good stuff !
Is your lift asymmetric, appears so.
Its a symmetric lift but has 3-Stage Front Arms and 2-Stage Rear Arms. So some features of a asymmetric lift.
You really help me to figure out where to place the set back from the wall from the front to the post. I admire you're style in taking the time to explain this in detail, keep up your good work.
Thanks! Glad I could help.
Instructions suck. Good looking out. Thanks
It's sad that current tech is built to last only till the day the warranty runs out.. my old man's air compressor is 50 years old now, runs up to 200psi, and it's only needed 1 motor change in the last 50 years. They definitely don't make them like they used to.
China, china..built.. bye American made..comprsoirs..champion, or Saylor-beall..or quincy...there built in this country..I own a Saylor-beall made in st.johns, Michigan.....I hope where u bought..will make it right. For you. Vary sad to see this. Today I installed a I.R. unit for a car wash ..5 h.p. 2 stage ..it looks ok..but no magnetic starter on it ..he bought at tractor supply.. big box store .. anything over a 5 hp. Unit should have one on it..pressure switchs can't handle the load..like your unit in this video..
Great video. You walked me through my install today. Thanks 👍🏻
Glad I was able to help!
Make sure you have clearance to pull an axle shaft out. Especially on a truck axle.
Yes, there is plenty of clearance for that. As well as a cheater bar. 😆
@@Jayjam209 The paperwork that came with my lift had warnings about using cheater bars. Something about pulling and shifting the center of gravity or sliding the car on the lift. They say impact tools are safer. And thats all the excuse I needed to buy more tools. For safety.
Good job explaining electrical. Wish me luck tomorrow. Same problem on my v- twin. Maybe a tri pod would help you with the videos. Frees up a hand.
I replaced my 1969 Rustang rear frame patch links left and right from CXJ Pony Parts which are well thought out parts but prior to welding I put a 5/8 x 4 long bolt and nut to lock it in place permanently.
Where to download 2J Head Repair Book
I purchased my manuals but if you are looking for something free, try vintagemachinery.org. I am sure someone put up the repair manual for 2j head.
How'd you know that the drawbar shoulders should be 50 thousandths below the top of the mill?
The instruction manual references that dimension.
@@Jayjam209 appreciate it. I just received the exact same kit on my job. Had to cut 0.020 off the spacer and grease it thoroughly to work correctly. Although I like the bars that use an O-ring to hold the spacer.
@@reddnmilla Me to. Original BP draw bars use an o-ring.
THANK YOU! This helped a ton on installing the lock releases.
You have an excellent channel
Very detailed on installing the knee power feed. Do you have to support the knee when removing the shaft? Didn't know if the knee needs to be all the way down before pulling out the shaft to prevent the knee from falling.
Hi Keith. No, you don't need to support the knee. I left the knee at a height that I can still use the mill to drill the hole needed in the shaft. The elevating screw (mounted vertically thru the pedestal) supports the knee. The horizontal shaft is what I took out.
cool gonns get one
i like the jig for holding drill straight :")
Thanks for making this video. I have a Nationwide 9k overhead lift (same design) and the directions are horrible!
Glad it helps!
Good video and that is a good brand of drive. Thanks
Should not need to buy any kits or plans if you own and use lathe s and milling machine if you need plans you better sale your equipment and find something else to do as to level machiney is a plus if there's coolant involved as there built to channel flows back to the tank
Myself don't see the need to level a surface plate as there used mostly with measuring devices few other instruments not used for leveling parts
Thanks for your comment. The plans are free. Plans are helpful for a number of reasons: some people are still building up tooling and want to know what they may need. Others may want someone else to make it. Its always a judgement call in my case, do I am going to make the thing I need or buy it? This case was a combination. Just depends on how much time you have and stock. Cheers.
If you store your zero turn mower for the winter months, install a fuel shut off valve and run your mower until it shut down itself. You will clear all the fuel from the carburetor.
Yes, I do that as well. I also use non ethanol gas. The problem with this mower was someone messed with the electrical to bypass some of the safety switches and debris was in the connector. That's what I get for paying 200 for a zero turn. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
I`m impressed, not only with your weirdly back bending thumbs, but your ability to explain the otherwise confusing schematic reading. Thanks Jamel!!
Thanks! HAHA yes, double jointed. Glad it helped.
Great video. You have saved me so much time by answering all of the questions that I had. Thank You. 😃
Glad I could help!
Tragic...a purchase this pricey is with buying an extended warranty.
