Howdy! i think some of the electric motors are running backwards on this lathe. ensure the oil pump in the head-stock is pumping oil, this is the most important thing when setting them up again Also, ensure the motor wiring is correct to run on the different voltages, take the electrical wire cover off the motors, check the coolant pump and the main motor. if your lucky they should have the schematic under the lid. If any motor is running backwards, swap any two of the three hot wires on the motor wherever convenient
JJust a basic rule of electricians. If you have to do something in live distribution box, one hand is in back pocket of your jeans. Especially during measurements.
I was thinking the same, when he was poking around with just the equipment breaker off. If he keeps this up, someone will find him, rolled up, in a corner one day. One co-worker, had a one of 3 main feeds to the mine shut down. He didn't check for live power, the cables where miss labeled on the level he was working on. When he went in to pull the first fuse, the resulting poke blew a hole in the back of one of his calves. Needless to say, he had a bad day, and we got a crap ton of new testing/safety gear, the next supply flight. He lived, but a wiser electrician, after that. Best wishes from the far North.
I just started a subscription on your channel so I’m brand new supporter and the first thing I’d like to see you do with this machine. It’s too clean it up top to bottom and lubricate it and get the pump running.
What a great deal man.. with all the accessories and the manual ! Wow.. 🤯 That’s a 5,000-7,000 machine all day long. Glad someone is cashing in on some breaks cuz it sure isn’t me.. 😊
I'm by no means a expert, but heres some of what I've been taught on the job - 3 jaw chucks only need to be used with the keyway with the 0 marked on it, but it's also how you identify how to put the chuck back on and off the spindle. 4 jaw chucks will allow you to take a dial indiactor on your work piece and independently adjust each jaw for runout. You need to see if your tailstock is aligned on 0 for any type of accurate drilling or turning between centers. Some of these old machines take a minute to get up in high gear, but be warned shit starts breaking at high speeds. Get a bandsaw for your round stock. Get a rubber mallet and lightly bang on whatever you chucked up and tighten it again - the chuck jaws might make a more consistent hold on your part if your flipping it around like how you turned down that steel. If you want to make sure your tool is on center - throw a drill bit in the chuck and line the edge of your insert to the center of the bit to get a close enough for most things height.
That transformer is for control voltage only. A few things need verified first before applying power or attempting startup. If presently set up for 480v, check all motors if dual voltage and rewire for 240v if possible. Check motor overloads and wire size are appropriate for lower voltage and higher current. Then bump start each motor for rotation checks. All in an effort to keep the magic smoke from escaping and attacking your wallet!🤯
@@prestigemanufacturing2611 with the current one you will need a stack of shims of various thicknesses for each tool to get set to centerheight, which is fine if you are going to be using only a couple. With the quick change you just set the height for each one by threading it to the correct height. when you are gonna be doing a bunch of different operations it is way quicker to move between them. Regardless I'd get a "Pro Lathe Gage" from EDGE Technology, it makes setting the height way easier
Also with the quick change tool post you can store the tool offsets in the DRO so you can pick up your X/Z locations between tools without needing to touch off everytime
with the current one you will need a stack of shims of various thicknesses for each tool to get set to cutter height, which is fine if you are going to be using only a couple and leaving them in there.

If you are doing multiple operations it makes it way faster to swap between facing/chamfering/boring/threading. Get a Pro Lathe Gage made by EDGE technology, it makes setting the heights super easy.
usually on lathes it's called X and Z - just like on a mill, moving towards or away from the spindle is Z, and the spindle rotates around Z (which is customarily called the 'C' axis if it's controllable in position - A rotates around X, B rotates around Y, and C rotates around Z)
I can’t believe you got that for just 550.. for once I’d like to be that guy.. lol hell a deal man. That’s a good capable machine my man. And that “gauge” you are referring to is called a trav-a-dial and is a very handy and accurate indicator of how far the apron has travelled. Think of it as an “old school DRO” But that is a perfect size machine to have too. Just big enough to tackle some real projects.
Nice score:) I'm in Alaska we never have good deals on heavy iron:( Dont buy a cheap china quick change tool post and holders find a good used Aloris. Using cheap china tool holders is like putting semi tires on a Powerwheels car. It will may work, but not well. #1 good tool holder #2 Kenametal carbide tools#3 a "good" live center #4 PLEASE OIL THAT WAYS!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!! sorry my OCD kicked in :) P.s dont trust amzons lathe tooling Buy once cry once applies more to lathes than any tool I have i the shop. Bison,Kenametal,Aloris Abom79 is the guy to watch for tooling if he uses it than its good. I'm super jelly of the lathe score also the the fact you can have a tent shop and the weather doesn't wreck it in the winter.
would have been nice to use a lathe to build out the CV slip hub on the CAT Ford driveshaft, but the other guy'd be pissed seeing something being jig fitted and welded using the chuck as a line up holder. cutting only? to cheap to buy a pack of rod bearings so stamps sheet off the shear and cuts it down... wraps square wire around a bar to piston ring slinky... etc.
Time to take those gloves off brother. You’re a manual guy now. And as far as the RPMs go, I run steel at 6-800 everyday. Whatever gives me the best finish in my line of work

Oh and a DRO is a must
Definitely

Also that's a great deal you got! Looking forward to more videos!
Awesome man! Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely use it
Swap two legs of the three phase around. Your motors are running reverse. Nice lathe!
I’ll do that thanks!

quick change tool post and a DRO would make this baby perfect
What are the benefits of the quick change tool post over the one that’s on it now?

DROs on the X and Y will be nice to have as well as quick change tool posts..
I’m already looking at DRO’s on eBay for it 😂

Looks like a good clean up and she will be a great machine
I think so too!
damn fine machine!!! You got a damn deal. Just make sure to clean the piss out of it and level it so that it doesn't have any flex.
Thanks for the view and the advice. I really appreciate it!

How strait are the ways? Very nice catch :)
Thanks. The ways look really good.
$500 ?
You stole that - fabulous deal !
Thanks for the support 🙏
It's a Howa. Great purchase!
Yes! Thank you!
A clean up and refresh video in the future?
Possibly!

That is a HUGE "building" you got for $3500 😯
I just hope you dont live somewhere where there are Tornados or Hurricanes, ouch 😬
I’ve actually had a tornado 🌪️ come right through here and it held up great.
@prestigemanufacturing2611 wow ok, that's impressive.
A win for sure!

lol thanks for the tip, ill definitely use it!
shouldnt 650 be a pocket change to a burger?

12:10 knurl cutter in the midel of the video
💯
Will this lathe remove all your ghastly tattoos?
Always clean the ways prior to use
Thanks for the tip
