Well, bully for you to not have any real issues in this episode! I really enjoy seeing you take things apart and piece them back together. The whole process is very satisfying to view.
It is indeed very satisfying to have it all coming back together! You are catching up to my progress in real time. I need to hurry and get another episode out. Thanks for watching!
The drip oilers were probably added later. The spindles which get oiled from the top predate the southbend "A,B,C" oil type recommendations. I forget where but one of the south bend catalogues from the 30's era says to use a 100 grade oil of some long dead oil viscosity unit. The type "B" is pretty close and that is what I use for the spindle, I tried type "A" at first but it was too thin. If you haven't already, you need a bit more shim in the front bearing cap, follow the southbend "Keep your Lathe in Trim" to get the right clearance.
Thanks for your reply. Would you recommend that the front spindle cap be shimmed until the spindle moves more freely? Thanks for the recommendation and info about the oil!
It’s 100 saybolt which is a measure of viscosity (thanks Tubalcain). It translates to a 10wt oil, almost water thin. I don’t think the way oil would be able to flow into such a tight tolerance joint. This is the only place “A” is called for regularly after you initially fill the apron sump. My 13” from the same era has those exact oilers too. Could just be coincidence though. I could imagine it to originally be glass and replaced with plastic in a shop environment after a mishap. That big one is in a prime spot to be snapped off/cup broken, I in fact have to figure out how to get the stub out on mine non-destructively as I want to repair it.
Looking good! The blue jays were cheering you on, too
I have to take that encouragement where I can get it!
that 710 bolt you made was very nice at 24:00
710 "OIL" LOL! Thanks.

I just found that "Keep your Lathe in Trim": vintagemachinery.org/pubs/1617/3533.pdf Thanks!
I'd shim it to get .001" of movement doing the spindle test, and that would probably result in it spinning more freely
@@Hudstr22 Thanks. I'll follow the instructions in that Keep Your Lathe Trim booklet. :-)

9:03 a lathe for a lathe, it’s latheception!
Ha! That is too funny!
