    You were extremely lucky that it was a relatively easy fix,most of the stuff I buy like that usually turns out to be terminally expensive.

    Congrats on your endgame mill! $2000 is a good price for a feature rich machine like that.

    Super cool! I too owned a few mills which enabled me to buy my FTV-2 Lagun mill. I bought my Lagun when I was 19. I was still living with my parents, so I was able to dump all of my money into tools/machines. I'm trying to start my own RUclips channel, but limited on time with college. I am super happy to have stumbled across your page. Subscribed! Keep them coming!

    Enjoyed seeing your problem-solving. Way beyond my machinery skills, but RUclips videos have helped me fix almost every appliance in the house needing small repairs.

    Glad to see the fix was not too expensive or super difficult. Really nice mill. I enjoyed the adventure with you.

    Hope you find that long table useful I used to leave a dividing head on the bed (I used it a lot) along with my vice so I didn’t-need to keep swapping. I had a nice DRO that allowed multiple Datums so I could interrupt one job and jump on another. Power drawbar great I had the riser and had to still climb on a box!

    Love seeing the progress, I was intrigued by the power draw bar and this really helped me understand it better. So, i guess the way the air impact drops down is similar to a bendix on a starter motor engaging and disengaging a flywheel on an engine.

    @warbirdwf 3 года назад +1

    Nice job! I love seeing what could have been an expensive fix turn out to be relatively easy and inexpensive. That's a lot of milling machine for $2k.
    Now, get busy making new videos showing that bad boy in action!

    I was really cheering you on as you succeeded in getting it working again. It's such a great feeling to work through a problem and be triumphant in the end. I am curious why you didn't disassemble more (drop the quill out) to be absolutely sure there were no pieces of the quill guard left behind. Have you done anything with the Supermax head you picked up from me? And I haven't seen that surface grinder you picked up in Bohemia a couple of years ago.

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  3 года назад

      Thanks Paul! I was going to drop the quill but i think I got it all (famous last words) the supermax head it coming into play soon!! And I wound up selling that surface grinder and getting another one that’s stashed away!

    You should indicate that quill. I'm curious about the runout if there's any play inside and outside.

    What a beast! Really enjoyed watching your handiwork even if you did add fuel for my milling machine desires, which I am trying to keep in check..."and like any good air tool, it leaks!" 😂

  • @bradthayer6782
    @bradthayer6782 3 года назад +1

    Excellent repair; quite the steal! Any idea what mangled the skirt in the first place, and that it won’t happen again?

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  3 года назад

      Thanks! Im a bit puzzled by that as well, Ive heard of other machines having quill skirt issues but this one was pretty extreme, the tolerance in there is pretty tight so I think once you start mushing that sheet metal in there its all downhill!

    • @bradthayer6782
      @bradthayer6782 3 года назад

      @@MakeEverything so somehow they put too much lateral load on the quill, got things slightly cocked, hit the skirt and mangled it?

  • @Joe_Bandit
    @Joe_Bandit 3 года назад +1

    How does that spacer block work, doesn't it make it harder to get the tool down to the table? Or can you raise the table?

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  3 года назад +1

      You can raise the table pretty high and since 99% of the milling I do is in a vise it shouldn’t be an issue. If it is to far I have a smaller Bridgeport I can use

    Isn’t the Bridgeport a lot more involved to replace the key for the r8 collet?

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  3 года назад

      The Bridgeport process is exactly the same actually, remove the nose cone, take out the lock screw, adjust the key and reverse. The only difference is that the nose cone is right hand thread.

    Yeah you def need the power draw bar after adding the 7" riser....I have a 10x50 VS Acra mill, and it's up 3.5" off the floor, with no riser, and I'm 5'11" and gotta go tip toes to undo the draw bar lol

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  3 года назад

      Seriously! This thing was super tall as is and as soon as I saw that power drawbar I knew I had to take advantage and add a riser. Now that I have it I feel like my Bridgeport needs one too! Its such a great upgrade!
