Initial Slideway repair, South Bend 13 (pt4)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2022
- Hi, in this Video I show you what I went through to improve four faces on my south bend 13 lathe.
I know it isn’t what was expected but, these faces could hold the key to getting the main saddle slideways corrected or at least improved. The next stage of the process will also probably raise eyebrows, and many comments. The proposed technique is probably doomed to fail, either way, I’ll still show you what I went through. The next video is probably going to take some doing, and I ask for your patience until I can get the next video out to you.
Thanks for watching

Amazing techniques with limited tools. Initially, I was doubtful but you proved me wrong. Great work.
Hi, I was always taught there’s more than one way to skin a rabbit. cheers.
@@Thesheddweller Cheers to you.
Dear Paul, wonderful Video, Cheers from Florida across the Pond, Paul
There is a lot of thought put into repairing the slideways of the lathe. Thanks Paul for sharing. Gives me a new perspective in examining my South Bend 13.
Thanks, I just get an idea and then go with the flow. Cheers.
Wow that was an amazing amount of work explained in a masterful way. Thank you for sharing Paul. I cant wait to see the next one especially with that teaser.
Hi. thanks for that. Cheers.
You're proving that sheer determination is about 90% of a successful project like this.
I think that's a lot of life, just sheer guts and stubbornness!
Kudos to you for reaching deep and finding the fortitude needed! 😊
Hi, thanks, it did make me wish that I'd taken up drinking... Cheers.
Love it! I am going to attempt to "improve" (that is the best work I will use )the ways on my newly acquired 9A, and this gives me some great ideas!
Hi, glad to have been of service, have fun.
Extremely interesting. Look forward to seeing how you will progress. I struggle a bit, well, ok, a lot to understand exactly what you are doing and measuring. I have to appreciate however that your level of skill and knowledge is something that is and will forever remain way out of my grasp.
Hi Carl, nothing is impossible, you just need more time.. thats my motto. cheers
I can’t believe you filed the ways, and I can’t believe it worked! amazing! Thanks for the great video(s)!
Hi, these faces aren't slide faces, but I’ve cleaned them up to assist me in cleaning up the 7 real slides that need putting right, and only 4 of those need the most work.
Thanks for watching.
Regards
That's a smart job. I especially love the thinking process and the risk assessment that goes before using any of your tools on the bedways.
Hi, thanks more to come, Cheers
Patience paid off !
Hi thanks, but its not done… until its done. cheers
Excellent work Paul 👍
Hi, thank you, cheers
Bravo. A beautiful working !
Hi, thank you, Cheers
Looks like the ways are coming along quite nicely. Good job Paul! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, thanks, I do wish I could get it done quicker though. cheers
thanks for the upload mr hopewell, cheers ben.
Hi, you’re welcome.
Hello Paul,
SORRY I have been on the missing list... catching up now... and enjoyable video, thank you.
Take care.
Paul,,
Hi Paul, glad youre still up there and enjoying what I cobble together.

im bussy working on a boley5lz bed. my approach is to rough shape it with a single point cutting set up, bit like a long bed planer. have some linear bearings bolted to the bed with a slead on top that cary a compound table holding the tool. so that i can treverse sideways after each pass. its very tedious and can only take of minute abount of material. im bussy looking at the posibilety to do drive it with a 24v dc wiper motor from an old truck. and belt or cable drive. had a long air cylinder on it , but that does not give any controle. by the time i have enough air to push the tool its a bit like pushed by a spring, and just go faster till it ram the stop at the end or knock it self off track. so i have done some by hand.
but thats to slow. the plan is to rough th shape in and then finalise by hand scraping. the bed has an eror of aroun 0.24mm , way more than im up to scrape out by hand.
when the bed is done ill cast moglice or bronze bearing pads into the sadle to compensate for the los of material.
this little boley is a shining example of the importance of cleaning your machine and enough of the right oil........ it had none of that in its previous life.
Hi Manus, I’m sure I have replied to you but for some reason it isn’t showing up on my comments markers, so just in case…
I like the single point shaver, ((a little secret) - That idea has crossed my mind and I've set up a similar system rerady to go) and I might use this idea but with a twist. I shaln’t be using a push pull motor like you are thinking of using, I’m going to do it all by hand,…. I hope. Without telling anyone what I am going to do, I also plan to rough shape first then scrape out the last bit…
As far as the bed ways are concerned, I dont have a plan for them… just yet. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
My lathe looks like it was oiled quite well but used very little and after 80 years it is tired and needs a regrind, the rest is history.
Regards
@@Thesheddweller im waiting for you to post so i can see what you do. this one has me curious. i still think your threading tool is the best, but lets see how your genious top your genious....if that make sence.
@@manusholm3536 we’ll see..👍
I still don not understand what you're doing? These top surfaces have no function at all, so what's all the work good for? As reference for further measurements? Looks somehow overcomplicated to me and too much work.
But ok, maybe I see the solution in one of the next videos.
Hi Paul, basically my main intention was to repair my lathe bed Vee slides, by using as many true surfaces as I could possibly find, while at the same time investigating several avenues to repairing the vee slides. The three top faces and the front face certainly do not do anything, but by lining them up, I now have more options to assist me with whatever method I finally decide to use for improving the three worn vee slides. In the meantime and just as I was finishing the video the last channel of investigation came through and it looks quite promising, hence the teaser at the end of the video. regards
Nice one Paul.
8 faces flat, level and parallel.
The question is, have you ordered 25kgs of elbow grease or are going down a powered "gadget" route?
Oh, The nut! Was that Heaths idea,,,, genius 😊
Hi Nell. The elbow grease is already on order. The nut was one of Heaths suggestions, as for the gadget route you’ll just have to wait and see..😆😆😆😆
@@Thesheddweller oh keep me in suspense why don't you!
This is worse than waiting for Christmas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@NellsMechanicalManCave Glad to be of service.😈
😂
I have a 70-years old lathe with two top faces which are not parallel and never worked, and never supposed to work, because of rough milling.
Hi, there are probably many other places to use as references while mapping out your lathe when the time comes. Regards
Есть ли смысл брать за базу вершину призмы, и тратить время на ее доводку ?
Привет, по большей части,.. не совсем!.
Но я все еще разрабатываю систему для ремонта всех трех призм.
и чем больше хороших поверхностей у меня будет, тем лучше для меня в дальнейшем, во всяком случае, я так думаю.
Пока я заканчивал видео, я получил больше информации о системе, которая, я надеюсь, будет работать. С уважением
