As a retired machinist, I will say kudos to you, you did a pretty good job for what appears to be your first time with an indicator. 90% of the time a damage indicator like that is from a bent plunger shaft, after somebody crashed or dropped it on to a part. BTW the springy thing on the last part of your indicator holder is your fine adjustment. You can 0 your indicator without turning the dial, just turn the screw adjustment and you'll see the arm move.
Thanks for the great content. I saw your Grant video and while it was harsh you did have some valid points. Don't get discouraged by all of these people, keep up the good work!
Impressive fix , Was one point i was thinking "nope that's not going back together" but you got there , guess its not as complicated as taking apart a wind up clock and having various parts springs etc twang off everywhere.
Neat, I'm so thinking I'll be back on the RF projects where I need to use the lathe before this fall. Have the Swivel Vertical Slide and Toolmakers Grinding Vice on the way in the mail so I can use my mini-lathe as a mill with an adapter plate on the cross slide. Other than the elliptical axle... thinking unless I start making custom engine parts... I won't be back on until this fall. I'd almost dredge it with a solvent if wasn't for the indicator material and ink... then maybe do some de-oxit just in case there is corrosion and oil. You got it cleaned though, alright. Mine need the cover lens cleaned... they're all opaque. Interesting working on the engines though and seeing the capabilities of doing EFI with an EMS/ECU as well as other custom machine and even cast parts. Nice little lathe too.
Now that you have the internals figured out, you might want to set the "pretension" so that the smaller clock dial also aligns with 0. This is just a suggestion, not a criticism. It's your dial indicator to do with as you please. The larger dial measures 0 to .100 inch, in .001" steps. The smaller dial measures from 0 to 1" in units of 100 thousandths of an inch (or .100"). So once the large dial goes all the way around one time, the smaller dial would read 1, indicating the plunger has moved .100 of an inch. Once the larger dial goes all the way around again, the smaller dial would read 2 and so on (or .200"). From trying to catch a glimpse of the face after your repair, it seems the smaller dial was reading like 3 or 4 when the dial was at rest, indicating that the plunger has already been pressed about 3 or 4 hundreths of an inch from where the the plunger is at rest. That offset might get confusing when you are trying to measure something over .100". For example, if you had the dial indicator set to measure the distance the carriage moved left and right, you had the cutting tool set to the end of your part being turned, and you wanted to know when you have turned .75" inche from the end. If the smaller dial was not set at 0 to start with, you would have to count each revolution, while at the same time paying attention to the actual cut. It can get real tricky to do both at the same time, and that is where mistakes can be made. Just a suggestion to make your dial indicator more useful to you. Keep up the good work, I do enjoy your videos.
The spring and the knob located on it are for fine adjustment. Say if you really want the needle to start at zero when measuring. Great job getting it to work btw.
You have some cool videos, but what I'd like to know is how you plan on collecting SSI later on in life considering you don't work ? RUclips doesn't count. Are you going to RUclips until your 90 ?....

Im impressed Ive seen machinist destroy those and never get to work again.
Excellent video, I have two that need to be fixed. Now I got the inspiration and courage to do it! :)
I really like seeing the insides of things like that. The fix is a bonus.
Thanks for your videos.
Thanks, great information!
Very nice video. A very useful tool too. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, gj! I have to say I was a little worried when you disassembled the part with the coil spring but it turned out great!
great job!!.... love your channel........
Good for you Rin,,,, nice job on the adjust and clean up on the indicator. You'll get a lot of use out of that.

well i never changed the orientation between those parts, and i also showed me winding it up before putting it back in
Very good! You've got the knack.
Nice! Congratulations on the repair! The metal filings were due to wear, or did they just find their way in somehow?
it would be due to wear.
1:19 - its very BRUTAL!
1:52 - also brutal, you can broke the arrow
whats brutal?
This is very ROUGH
The spring and the knob located on it are for fine adjustment. Say if you really want the needle to start at zero when measuring. Great job getting it to work btw.
sure but i also want 0 to start at up so its easier to read.
Congratulations on ya repair . it looks grate. job well done . looking forward to ya next one.
thanks! i think next for the lathe i should make a cabinet for all the bits and bobs
You need to calibrate the small dial :-))
I think the bar pressure gauge system is damaged by the Spiral Spring.
Can you do more Polaroid spectra, maybe try double exposures?????? Please?
yes but only when i feel like doing it
@@RinoaL thank you 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 (also love your channel I find myself watching random videos hours on end
Great job 😎
Your voice is getting cuter
Your channel list is interesting. Do you know/like the channel mastermilo?
You have some cool videos, but what I'd like to know is how you plan on collecting SSI later on in life considering you don't work ? RUclips doesn't count. Are you going to RUclips until your 90 ?....
sorry what?
you clearly dont understanf anything about my life, and yes youtube is a job
and whats ssi?
A yo
No you
@n11 should i ban you? or do you know each other?
Ban him
No we really don't
Don't know each other
Problem with that indicator is its Chinese!
Wow ,anything she can’t do?
