I did enjoy it! Friday night was a real pleasure for me. My teenage grandson chose his highschool graduation gift. We purchased a 1957 Delta 15" drill press. After Christmas, when I have more free shop time, he and I have a pretty thorough restoration planned. The machine is usable as is, but some missing and damaged hardware needs to be machined and replaced. We will convert it from a bench model to a floor model and repair the highschool shop table pecker mark damage. I am already shopping for an appropriate vise and will set him up with tooling. We are both pleased and excited. I have offered the grandsons a significant shop equipment upgrade, tool chest, or gun, etc. I hope to gift them with enough quality that it will be a lifetime item worthy of handing down to a son. I build heirloom hope chests for the girls. He went easy on me with purchasing used, so I have budget funds to accessorize the machine. My hope is to jump start my young men into their own shops. I didn't have a granddad or dad that could help me get started. I was nearly 40 when I finally was able to restore and set up my first real drill press. I still run that 15" Powermatic that spent its early life in a production environment. It now is a mid grade machine in my arsenal. Like you with lathes, I keep saying that I have enough drill presses... Then... I find something... I have space now for an industrial radial drill press... don't really need it, but I want one 😉
Lyle - A good pair of videos to explain change gears and how to use an indicator to check if things were done correctly. Keep up the good edutainment. I'm sure I speak for man when I say we watch and appreciate all videos even if we understand the subject already. I always pick up some piece of knowledge as there are many, many ways to do most anything.
Lucky for me, my 3 Southbend lathes all have quick change bear boxes. However I would probably bring home a change gear model if one came up for adoption with all of the parts. These videos are very informative, I have never studied the actual process of gear combinations. Thanks for the lessons.
I appreciate the demonstration of the dial indicator to show the feed rate, Tubalcain. It is very helpful to see how you use indicators to check machine travel and position.
G'mornin' professor Pete :) Great way to start the morning learning about something that results in a greater appreciation for a trade that I may never have the opportunity to get into, but one never knows, and can at least hope. Maybe a metal lathe will land in my lap, (figuratively of course! I would like to continue using my legs!) along with the space to put it in :)
I never considered that the cross feed would end up a different feed rate than the longitudinal feed at the same gear selections. Of course, my 13" SBL with the gear box doesn't give me that data. I might go out and set up an indicator and see if I can calculate the ratio between longitudinal and cross feeds. Very interesting!
Hey putting out good videos as usual. Got to deal with clearances, my experiences with gears, fold notepaper 5 to 6 thousands , mesh between gears, quick and dirty gearlash. Ok use notecards, don't have them, just fold over legal sheet. Pretty close adjustment works the best. Hey even with a new newfangled lathe you have to set gear clearance, couple layers of yellow legal paper I usually about right.
I am always happy to see change gear videos. I have a McCabe lathe from 1885 I have been restoring. I have yet to get the feed right. Think I need more gears for one. Second, I see no way of putting cluster type gears on this lathe. Very little information out there on the McCabe lathe,
Very nice. Thanks for the instruction. I need to go back and look at that shelf over the Craftsman lathe. I need to do something like that with the Sheldon. The BXA toolholders are starting to multiply in the dark, they are almost overrunning the chip tray now!!
Well, this little 9 still makes me regret selling my C, but always enjoy when you share these videos with us. I missed that Craftsman Atlas 12 the other day here. But I have been bless to have all the shop tools I have collected over a short 4 year period. "Another Tool" Who's Counting? Loved your's & Janette's Christmas Cars and letter. Sammie was the card sender around Holidays & Birthdays, guess I better get off my kester and make her smile once again (@@)! Bear.
Hey Mr.Pete how are you !!!! Just to tell you that I’m buying my very first lathe and pretty much happy with it. And funny case it will rest in my home basement… Need to figured it out how to slide it down gently by the staircase 🤣 it’s a King Canada industrial KC-1620clm combo lathe/mill. Small but Stil 515lbs. Thanks for the inspirations you give to each of us. From Québec, Canada.
My century old Mueller, according to a magazine article from the same time period, was supposed to come with change gears for specialty work speeds and metric threading. I didn't get those. As it is, the slowest feed rate is 0.006 to 1 revolution. A bit much in some circumstances. I'm thinking on a separate feed drive. Maybe use a drive motor from a yard sale treadmill. I could then leave the gear train to the gear box disengaged and save wear/tear on it. It would be needed only for threading and 'timed' work.
Perhaps an "Odd Couple" would serve you well. Consider adding James Clough's electronic lead screw to the century old lathe. Melding old and new seems to work out quite well in numerous situations.
Thank you for the great videos! Good Sunday morning in Advent! Time to stump the teacher momentarily! (I mean only for a moment or two) Lets see you SHOW OUR CLASS HOW TO figure Out the feed rates without the chart! (: I GOT A FEELING THAT WILL BE A LONG VIDEO even though its just simple math.! , Atlas put a tiny tiny hard to read the numbers plaque on my smaller machine!. > I don't think the cross feed rates are even on my South Bend 13"plaque and I do not have a matching book for the machine. So? This chart looks like 33.8% of the longitudinal feeding or close in you chart. (:
Mr. Pete, Sorry to be off topic. Over the years you've recommended a number of books, especially from Atlas, about lathe operations. Do you know of something similar for operating a Mill?
I always enjoy the extra credit, hope that gets me a better grade. Wait, is their going to be a test on the extra credit? I asked because I was distracted for a moment, I better watch it again. Great video, I had no clue about all the gear changing. My wood lathe has a goofy step pully to change speeds.
Hi Mr. Pete! Is the threading dial interchangeable between the A B & C models? Also, could you explain when to use an odd or a even number for correct timing engagement when threading. Thanks for the video. That's a beautiful little lathe.
I have a south bend 9 that an unusual change gear arrangement. There is a 10/108 compound gear and a 116 screw gear. Have you seen this arrangement before? I don't see any mention of it in any south bend literature. Thx, really appreciate your channel.

You are doing a wonderful thing for your grandchildren. You can never have enough drill presses

Good morning!
Good morning Mr Pete. Another informative video. Can't wait for part 3!!
Good video.
I would have been happy to watch you change the gears again.
Thank you
👍
Nice clear as mud demo.😊😊😊😊

I love your sunday's video, specially when it is about south bend lathe.Great job Mr. Pete.
👍👍
Another fine video. I decided to try threading with my small lathe today. Now I know how to setup gears . I hope I have all necessary gears.
👍
Thanks again.

Glad it was helpful!

My Jet is a different ratio also. It’s either a different size gear or a worm feed for the cross slide.
Thank you Mr Pete.

Hey just fold the paper and mesh between the gears, not rocket science folks.
HI Mr PETE from Victoria Australia merry Christmas and a happy New Year guys 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Merry Christmas

I have never heard of that make
Once again... Thanks so much for showing this Mr Pete! - TyPo
of the Lockport variety
Very nice. Thanks for the instruction. I need to go back and look at that shelf over the Craftsman lathe. I need to do something like that with the Sheldon. The BXA toolholders are starting to multiply in the dark, they are almost overrunning the chip tray now!!
Do not follow my example, I have a terrible mess. Way too many tool holders and accessories, no place to put them.
Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Good luck with your new machine. Be careful, taking it down the stairs.

I do have a 10 year old video where I motorized my atlas lathe the lead screw
Thanks for today’s extra credit, Mr. Pete. It’s now obvious why the B and C ratios turn out differently. 👍
Very well done.Thank you.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for the great videos! Good Sunday morning in Advent! Time to stump the teacher momentarily! (I mean only for a moment or two)
Lets see you SHOW OUR CLASS HOW TO figure Out the feed rates without the chart! (:
I GOT A FEELING THAT WILL BE A LONG VIDEO even though its just simple math.!
, Atlas put a tiny tiny hard to read the numbers plaque on my smaller machine!.
> I don't think the cross feed rates are even on my South Bend 13"plaque and I do not have a matching book for the machine. So? This chart looks like 33.8% of the longitudinal feeding or close in you chart.
(:
That would make a good video
Excellent!! Thank you!
Great video!!

Not really. I do have a book by Cincinnati, but it is a little over the top.
@@mrpete222 Thank you.

Part 4: Metric Transposing Gears - Beating the dead horse.
Is the pitch on the lead screw different, B vs. C? Hence the need to use a different chart for the model B.
What would happen if you used the half nut instead of the clutch? would you have 2 different feed rates you could use?
I have a south bend 9 that an unusual change gear arrangement. There is a 10/108 compound gear and a 116 screw gear. Have you seen this arrangement before? I don't see any mention of it in any south bend literature. Thx, really appreciate your channel.
Sorry, I have not

Is there a way to contact you? I need an inquiry
If you can give me a post address, I have a tool I want to send you.
