I love the way all the parts just slid together without any teeth gnashing and swearing. Never happens that way for me. The Le Blonde drill press is looking pristine!
Build Fix Create --- Your channel is correctly named. Nice smooth presentation. Well thought out. The sequence of events are chronologically perfect , no back tracking or Fast Forwarding . Nicely articulated. Nice clean camera work. Nice Machining techniques. Two thumbs up , If I had three hands , it would be three thumbs up.
The missing parts that you made look great, after a little time they will look original. In the video you mentioned that you don't know how much you should show. I enjoy the pace of your videos, the only thing that I could think of is to explain some things a little more. For example I am using this milling cutter because or I use this supplier because. The sheldon is coming along nicely. Looking forward to the next video.
where do you get parts for things like these? do you make them? I am tasked with adding a power feed to a Heald horizontal mill that has been converted to a vertical mill. The drive setup looks VERY similar to this one.
I have all of the parts except for the worm gear mounted to the lead screw. Can you tell me any of the details of that worm gear? It looks like it is about 1.25 inch diameter with about 20 teeth. If I can get the specs, I can either make or buy one. Or maybe you know a source where I could get one? Am I right in assuming that it has a bore threaded to match the acme threads of the lead screw?
It’s doesn’t have a back gear but it has variable speed from both the VFD and from a mechanical pulley system inside it. There is quite a large range of speed
You certainly get the old machinery better than brand new.
Thanks!

This has been the easiest of all the machines I’ve done to put back together. It just wants to be running again.
@@BuildFixCreate It's funny how some machines want to fight you!
Neat little mechanism for the power feed.
Great to see new videos from you again. Always satisfying to watch your work.
Thanks for watching and the nice comment!

Thank you very much!
@@BuildFixCreate I'm like an Umpire , I call them like I see them .
Nice work. I need to do this to my Hardinge Mill. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see you back man!

Gday, great video, keep’um coming
Thanks!
Great work. A beautifully restored power feed.
Thank you!
Can’t wait to see it running. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Very good video. And good to see you back making videos. Did you finish the drill press.

Can you say me the diameter of the pulleys of the power feed please!!??
What kind of mill were you using to make these parts? Great videos btw!
It didn’t have a name on it when I got it from Craigslist. I think it’s a Rong Fu. RF-30 ? Thanks!
Great video as always! 80 likes and no dislikes - even the loser trolls can't dislike this one!!
Does your mill have a back gear?
