    Great job restoring such a big and heavy piece of machinery. When my previous workplace closed down, all our old machinery was sold for scrap because everyone wants more modern equipment. It was so sad to see these go, so I'm happy that this piece was saved.

    Olivier, I don't know if you read the comments, but if you don't want to kill the spindle bearings very quickly, this machine needs drip oilers for constant lubrication of the spindle. Otherwise, you will have to quickly say goodbye to accurate rotation. The oilers are screwed into the holes where you poured WD-40 from a can.

    • @OlivierGomis
      @OlivierGomis  Год назад +27

      I know it needs frequent lubrifications. But I don't think it had drip oilers, since the holes aren't threaded. The the spindle bearings are pretty dead allready and the shaft is not running true. If I want to use this lathe I'll probably change the whole spindle assembly, and go with modern ball bearings.

      @@OlivierGomis the right idea. I would also switch to modern bearings with the manufacture of a new spindle and flange bearing supports.

    Merci Mille fois, Olivier, for a great episode. It is a beautiful old machine, and you did just the best amount of work to save it while letting it keep its character. Someone must have valued it highly, as the mechanics were in surprisingly good shape, with perfect castings and all that solid brass or bronze. Those two meters may well come in handy for one of your giant projects. Please keep us updated, and thanks again.

    Si vous disposez de suffisamment de temps, il ne fait aucun doute que vous comprendrez comment intégrer cette machine merveilleusement restaurée dans votre atelier ou que vous trouverez quelqu'un à qui elle conviendra peut-être mieux. Vous n'êtes peut-être qu'un type ordinaire, mais vous inspirez toujours M. Olivier. Merci de partager vos efforts de restauration honnêtes. Trop souvent, nous pensons "Je ne peux pas faire ça tout seul". Souvent, tout ce dont nous avons besoin, c'est de voir quelqu'un comme vous faire exactement cela.

    The thing I found most fascinating (apart from your amazing restoration abilities) was that so many of the features of modern woodturning lathes were already present on a model from the Victorian era! The advancing tailstock quill, the morse taper, the scroll chuck (even if it is only a 3-jaw one, with no carriers or interchangeable jaw sets).

    You’ve done a good job. You should follow Keith Rucker and David Richards (Old Steam-powered Machine Shop) if you don’t already do so. I also think it was an engineering lathe, never a wood turning one. You now need a steam tractor with a threshing wheel to drive it.
