New guy just working through your back catalog. It’s fun knowing some of the things you have done to this new arrival. Really enjoying this trip. Love your channel. Never did much machine shop work small bench lathe cleaning up brazing done on small spools that we replaced the tube that split with seamless tubing which came into the shop as a side project that anybody that ended a job and ended up in the shop for a few day just jumped on the never ending boxes of spools that cane into our shop from all of the wire and cable manufacturers in New England. We had a shop made water cooled TIG welder with a flex head that was like using a thick pencil. We seemed to use it only on Stainless Steel. Root pass was done without filler rod just welded the two parts together. Then run a second pass with filler rod. All pipe welding. This was back in late 1960’s. Company rule always had to weld uphill. 6011 rod for most everything we welded. Except high pressure stuff then it was 7018 Low Hydrogen wire. I’m a retired old man now bedridden who rambles on and on. Sorry. Love this channel. Thanks.
Most time travel inducers are 6v. All that Tony needs is the time travel attachment and, viola', no more rewiring each piece of equipment for time travel.
REALLY NICE!!!! 50+ years ago I worked as a coldheading tool maker. It was a German co. here in the states. We were fortunate to have mostly machines from Europe, mostly Swiss and French machines. Our shaublins were speed lathes used for polishing carbide dies to a mirror finish. These machines had 2 speed switch. Had 8 machines running at 3200 rpm 18 hours a day. The local shaublin repairman was at the factory at least every month replacing bearings in a couple of lathes. They were the best lathes until we got the first Hardinge DV-59 speed lathes. Then it was time to start retiring the old Swiss machines.
I’m happy to watch people work. I find it very relaxing to sit on the couch with a whiskey and some snacks and watch someone else slave away in time laps chipmunk speed and wish I could fast forward myself at work too.
Recently I was very lucky and just drove 20 min. to buy a MAHO MH600 in good shape for just EUR 1.500. I tidied it up from top to toe and babied it all over with new oil. The table is able to tilt in three directions and I have also fitted a DRO, so it's really versatile. These machines are just perfect for small precision work. They are real masterpieces from that era and I'm so proud to own one :-D
I believe you are the first person to express that opinion that I have seen. I have been looking for Deckels and Schaublins and in my "journey" over the internet I came across a generalized opinion that seemed to hint Deckel > Schaublin.
@@BrianFyhnPetersen That is an awesome deal. Congrats! If it moves, you're in the game. It is a shame to see machine tools at scrap yards that are solid hunks of rust.
Hi Tony, My first comment to your channel. I just love the way you present the story. Thank you for doing it. Now to the mill - after owning it for 3 years now I guess you start to undetstand what kind of a gem got stuck in your workshop. A happy birthday video maybe?
Tony, you do some of the best videos I've seen. Your humor is spot on. Keep up the good work and I hope this mill works out for you. Thanks, Bob O. out!
I dearly love to see things like this, when someone makes a great find of a good machine and brings it back to life ! GOOD ON YOU SIR ! I have just recently found your channel and love the content, so please keep them coming ! Subed and looking at the rest of your videos. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks for letting me live out my shop tool ownership dreams through you... I only have the room and budget for things like a drill press and grinder, but a man can dream...
I have a Schaublin lathe, a 102-80 from 1965. It amazes me every time I use it how well built it is and everything is just right. I have the only one I know of in my area and have not seen one of their mills in person yet. My lathe puts the other machines in my shop to shame in fit and finish. The one thing that you may find out is that there is a cost associated with the build quality when you go to buy parts or accessories. There is a section on practical machinist forum for Schaublins if you haven't found it yet.
I've only had experience with a Schaublin lathe, but man was that well built. It looks like this is right up there in quality. I'm a bit jealous to tell you the truth! Although, I'm holding out for a nice Aciera mill to rear its head at the right time.
Yes. the Aciera F3 is just as sweet. I just got a really nice Aciera drillpress. Came from Sweden actually, from a prototype lab associated with the Jas project.

Two videos in and I directly liked your style. Commenting, editing, camera angles: awesome. Maybe not all of them are perfect but it is a real pleasure to watch. You deserver the crown. MILL IT YOURSELF ;)
Great vid, nice find in that the machine really was in very good condition and not abused or repaired by someone who made it worse. It seems from the vid that the mill is very sturdy, accurate and sounded fantastic when you ran through the speeds. Good on you.
Great video. Lucky man finding this mill. I was also looking for a Deckel and ended up with a Thiel 158 made in 1966. I am equally delighted with it and am enjoying your videos on tricks to get the best out of it.
Ooooh, you lucky so-and-so. Next week we're gonna find out that you've traded an old lawnmower and $27 to your neighbor for the Hardinge HLV-H he's had rotting away in his basement...
Just think. Such a machine tool could be sitting, unknown, only a few miles from any one of us, and available for "pennies". The odds are "lottery like", but still. Everyone wants money but not as many want a machine tool.
@@jlucasound You are right. Lately I've been looking in abandoned industrial buildings around my area to find a lathe and then contact whoever owned that place to arrange a deal. And in just a couple of weeks, found many. Unfortunately most are in such a bad shape they can't even be restored, or at least I can't. I've seen some pretty nasty ways, 10 grit sandpaper is smoother than that. And some are just too large (there's a 14 meter, one piece lathe from a textile company that shut down back in the 90s)
R4M I am wolensky9000 at gmail dot com I'd be interested in hearing more about these lathes you saw. If nothing else they can be scavenged for useful parts. let me know tyv m
"A couple of 6 volt outlets and a switch" sounds like something for some work lamps if both are turned on with the switch. It wouldn't be hard to make some appropriate LED lamps wire into that.
its amazing how often older rusty metal cleans up so nice relative to newer stuff.. ive pulled almost 100 yr old car parts out of the ground/edges of a field that was bulldozed over a junkyard that was running in the massive back yard of a family members place from around 1900-1960's. also pulled a early 40s flathead v8 outta the ground, it had wood bolted onto all of the openings and bolt fastened type faces so it was closed up really well. and when i was cleaning it, it just seemed incredible how there was pretty much no pitting and the rust wasnt scaly and thick, old american steel was definitely nice stuff.
I swear I thought I had subscribed already but now I am. I think you did best by getting this machine over a new one. I worked in a steel fabrication shop for a short time out of high school and those older machines were built outstanding with amazing tolerances. I would've been a little scared with the few problems it had bit would've done the same and tried to just fix them. With a little care, this mill will outlive you. 👍 Your son will inherit the mother load. LOL
There is a new machine shop channel called Inheritance Machine. The owner’s grandpa worked for Ford in their tool and die shop I think. Right before he retired he bought almost new machines for his own shop. Grandson tinkered around in the shop with Grandpa. Thusly pushing him into an engineering degree. Grandpa passed not super long ago. Of his 6 current videos he is bringing it home and setting it up. Little side projects. Like making 4&6 sided R8 collet holders or E25s
The Schaublin 13 is a very nice machine, i worked on it when I was young. Very stable, much better than the Brigeport, yet les adaptive for special needs. Congrats, clean it, maintain it, enjoy it.
Oh man ... I've just watched another video about something with which I'll never play. I'm not a machinist or metal worker, but I really enjoy your videos!
Tony, that is a beautiful machine, it has many features as the Aciara F3 machines, I'm not sure who followed who on design but I spent years on the Aciera, you have a very high quality machine there, and a great video to boot, Edmund.........Alberta
+Walter Maisey thank you Walter.. not sure which came first.. and I'm new to these "euromills" .. but they are indeed a joy to work with. thanks for watching!
Congratulations. Schaublin is amazing. I studied on a technical school where all machines were swiss-made, mostly Schaublin, Aciera, Mikron, SIP, Tripet and Jung. I love the precision and the finishing of swiss machines. Now I have money to purchase these machines but they are extremely hard to find in Brazil.
Very nice machine,i used to work a lot with the schaublin 13 in the past. These machines are known for their accuracy,especially in combination with the Heidenhain dro. The 6v sockets are for worklights an some schaublin made attachments such as a microscope to center the cutters
What’s the serial number on the machine as it looks like the one my dad sold to a guy in the us when I was 5 found a old video of me sitting on the work bench as he was using it
Swiss engineering is marvelous. No bells and whistles. Pure practicality. The common man can run this machine expertly in somewhat short order. That’s done by design.
I'm totally jealous. Three axis rapid is sweet. The speed range and speed control are really cool. There is no quill, but that isn't what this machine does anyhow. Thanks for the cool vid!
A very nice mill, can't beat the Swiss for precision machines. I used to work a Deckel in a toolroom way back about 46 years ago, that was a little beauty too. I am envious, enjoy it, Tony! :-)
I think you are fortunate to find that mill and the pieces to make it useful. It seems that many accessories are sold off, making the mill almost useless. Nice vid. I actually do want to see someone cleaning up a mill.
You just became my favorite RUclips american machinist !! I learned machining on a Schaublin 53, those mills a the greatest mill out there !! Greetings from Switzerland !!
Hi mate. I think I can hear whimpering from someone in Germany ( Stefan ) that would have loved to own something like that very nice machine. Congratulations on a very nice but exotic machine. I think any parts for it you will have to make yourself though.
+Marcel Timmers Yeah I've been looking for a high speed head but seem to be scarce as hen's teeth. Actually found a few hen's teeth, but no high speed head.
What a great machine, Swiss come on what a great find for you. It sounds really great as well. There are so many operator setting options that you have a star in your shop. Never heard of Rohm vise and I love our vises.
Worked on deckel FP machines as an apprentice (and still do sometimes) the heidenhain read out on most of the FP's I used has this feature where you can enter a number, select an axis and it moves that axis (after you engaged it) to that value. you can use it absolute or incemental, with incremental you can just push a button and it goes to the next position. Awesome for drilling lots of holes.
Wow, color me green with envy! I am dreaming of a mill and it seems like it's going to be a long dream, but this makes me hopeful that something good may come up when I least expect it. Thanks for sharing your Schaublin and a few laughs...Aloha, Chuck
Wow, I'm just a novice but that looks like a dream tool. Hopefully you can find more accessories, I'd love to see how useful the horizontal mill function can be.
You're a lucky man! Schaublin are the best, and you will be very satisfied with this machine. The whole Swiss watch industry worked with Schaublin! They are made in Bévilard in the Swiss region of Jura, where the most watch companies are (mechanical watches of course... ).
Hi Tony! You made me wanting to buy a milling machine. And so I did! It is TOS FN25. Now I have to rewatch all your videos. I hope you are happy! Because for sure I am.
Mine is a Bridgeport clone, and imported from Canada, so it is really friendly, and socially accepting of most other machines, regardless of lifestyle. Excello. Variable speed, typical 9 X 42, GE pancake motor. It was $2,000, and like new, although it was made in the 80s. Seems like 84, but I can't remember. Yours is neato-er.
I'm not sure if you take requests, but I was wondering if you'd ever considered making a video about what to look for when shopping for a used mill or lathe?
What do you mean? I´d look for names like Deckel or Schaublin and then have a look how you feel about it. Even small grooves in ways are usually an indicator they didn´t oil stuff properly so leave it if you don´t wanna rebuild the whole machine. If you find one that was stored for some time, see if it was coated in anti rust like the one tony bought as when it was last run. Usually the ones with famous names are more exspensive but also more reliable in terms of build quality and how they resist their circumstances.
Actually, that information alone was awesome! I've been researching this for a while, and learned that you should inspect the ways to ensure that they still have some "fish scales" visible to demonstrate that they have not been worn out, but I didn't know about the small groves. I'm in the US, so used Bridgeport mills are probably the most common. I keep bouncing between getting a very small import mill to begin learning on, or saving up for a used Bridgeport. I can see pros and cons to both. Machining is something I've wanted to get into for most of my life and I just keep talking myself out of one option or the other. Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it!
Just an update, I ended up getting a Deckel FP-1. It's a newer one with the ISO 40 spindle. It came with a large cabinet of accessories. Actually I think it may be every FP-1 accessory they made. It's the last entry on the Euro Mill Registry on PM with photos if you're interested.
Hey thanks Old Tony! :) Just so you know this new habit is all your fault and my wife wants to have a word with you... In all seriousness, thanks for all the videos. I've always wanted to get into this stuff, and you gave me the kick in the pants I needed to get to it.
Man, I wish I could learn all about milling. Other than watching videos like yours, I have no idea where to even start. I recently started re-building a Jeep frame up. Therefore, I learned to weld and other metal fabrication skills. However, milling would be an awesome additional skill to learn.
Just discovered your channel, have watched over an hour's worth of videos nonstop, subscribed and gotten a friend to subscribe. Great content, fantastic sense of humor, 10/10. Keep up the good work.
Nice Machine! I NEED a mill, too! Your channel is great! I dream of a Deckel FP1, too but they are soooo expensive... Best regards from Germany! Nico from Nico's Projects
Never underestimate the Schaublin tools, their finish and craftsmanship are second to none. Just wait until you find a Schaublin lathe. I would kill for one of those.
It looks great! I have a smaller Euromill, a Sixis 101. I am also lacking the overarm support for it, but it can still be used as a horizontal mill. When I got it the motor ( 3 phase 1/10 HP) was seized from internal rust. I was able to get it working and replaced the bearings. The split phase here is 240 V. I use a 110 V - 220 V step-up transformer with a Boston Gear 3 phase speed control. The cuts are much better looking than when I was using a rotary phase converter and 240 V. No DRO or power feeds; everything is strictly by hand.
TOT, I program and run a 2018 mazak 815/120 mill , a 2016 mazak qt-350MY lathe everyday and I'm so jelly belly right over this machine. Side note: Wife is just goes over the moon when I watch one of your videos a 2nd time. Thanks for reading.
Congrats on quite the find,Tony. That is a Beauty - First Cabin. Can't wait to see what you can do with it once you acquire the tooling you want...a never ending quest. Hopefully the horizontal support and your vice handle will show up. That Rohm vice is great. Let us know how repeatable that fixed stop is. Just got their (7182) DP vice and it's amazingly sq/straight (.0005-.001) and threads are a dream. Great Video as always, Thank You for the drool! ~PJ
Always a good day when a random, old ToT video Ive watched half a dozen times gets recommended.
The difference in the confidence in Tony's voice now and then is amazing
I know right :D
I was listening to him as he was rebuilding his surface grinder, and what struck me was how kind he sounds. Then and now.
Try now 😅
With the dedication and patience you showed to bring this tool back into service you deserve a good run. Well done.

The 6v outlets are for 6v stuff.

Cool to see another market anarchist in the comment section. At least, I assume that's why your tag has "austrian" in it.
Likely for 6v lamps. You could mount an LED lamp to them and get some good spotlights on your work.

Very nice machine,i used to work a lot with the schaublin 13 in the past.
These machines are known for their accuracy,especially in combination with the Heidenhain dro.
The 6v sockets are for worklights an some schaublin made attachments such as a microscope to center the cutters
That looks like an awesome mill! Sure cleaned up amazingly well too.
Very nice addition to your shop! Looks like it cleaned up well.
What’s the serial number on the machine as it looks like the one my dad sold to a guy in the us when I was 5 found a old video of me sitting on the work bench as he was using it
Swiss engineering is marvelous. No bells and whistles. Pure practicality. The common man can run this machine expertly in somewhat short order. That’s done by design.
If you send me the BL number I can tell you what year it was made. I might also be able to find out who the machine was supplied to. David
TOT appears to be deaf :(
OMG you're killing me, "Captain's Log, Star Date TODAY..." The things you say and your timing are impeccable... LOL...
I'm totally jealous. Three axis rapid is sweet. The speed range and speed control are really cool. There is no quill, but that isn't what this machine does anyhow. Thanks for the cool vid!
A very nice mill, can't beat the Swiss for precision machines. I used to work a Deckel in a toolroom way back about 46 years ago, that was a little beauty too. I am envious, enjoy it, Tony! :-)
Thanks David.. so far its been a wonderful machine.
I think you are fortunate to find that mill and the pieces to make it useful. It seems that many accessories are sold off, making the mill almost useless. Nice vid. I actually do want to see someone cleaning up a mill.
Good score on the new machine !!!
Congrats and I hope you enjoy it and it lasts a lifetime for you !!!
You just became my favorite RUclips american machinist !! I learned machining on a Schaublin 53, those mills a the greatest mill out there !!
Greetings from Switzerland !!
+Ben's things & thoughts Thanks Ben. I love the heads on the 53's but thats too much machine for my blood.
Man did that clean up nicely! I can't wait to see what you will come up with, playing with your new toy!
Hi mate. I think I can hear whimpering from someone in Germany ( Stefan ) that would have loved to own something like that very nice machine. Congratulations on a very nice but exotic machine. I think any parts for it you will have to make yourself though.
+Marcel Timmers Yeah I've been looking for a high speed head but seem to be scarce as hen's teeth. Actually found a few hen's teeth, but no high speed head.
You might have to contact Stefan for that. He might have some contacts that can help you.
What a great machine, Swiss come on what a great find for you. It sounds really great as well. There are so many operator setting options that you have a star in your shop. Never heard of Rohm vise and I love our vises.
I cant afford a milling machine so I watch this old tony. Holuu desde uruguay
Worked on deckel FP machines as an apprentice (and still do sometimes) the heidenhain read out on most of the FP's I used has this feature where you can enter a number, select an axis and it moves that axis (after you engaged it) to that value. you can use it absolute or incemental, with incremental you can just push a button and it goes to the next position. Awesome for drilling lots of holes.
The best hobby mill Ive ever seen... good luck : D
That is a small frame production mill
Can’t wait to see the video of your cleaning up the DRO.
Wow, color me green with envy! I am dreaming of a mill and it seems like it's going to be a long dream, but this makes me hopeful that something good may come up when I least expect it. Thanks for sharing your Schaublin and a few laughs...Aloha, Chuck
+Knolltop Farms Patience comes to those who wait! ;)
LOL, that's classic! You got me rolling til my cats ran out after I finally read it correctly :D
Wow, I'm just a novice but that looks like a dream tool. Hopefully you can find more accessories, I'd love to see how useful the horizontal mill function can be.
Nice machine, great job in bringing her back to life!
You're a lucky man! Schaublin are the best, and you will be very satisfied with this machine. The whole Swiss watch industry worked with Schaublin! They are made in Bévilard in the Swiss region of Jura, where the most watch companies are (mechanical watches of course... ).
i really enjoy all of your videos, you've come along way in 3 years
Knew these machine well, worked sometimes on an newer modell with foot fastfeed. Good little milling machine, similar to Deckel FP1.
Very nice machine, quite a find. And I liked the screaming head!
Great find, purchase and clean up ToT. Entertaining as allways. Cheers.
Hi Tony! You made me wanting to buy a milling machine. And so I did! It is TOS FN25. Now I have to rewatch all your videos. I hope you are happy! Because for sure I am.
Congrats on the new mill, great cleanup and looking forward to seeing the unit in future projects. ATB
Mine is a Bridgeport clone, and imported from Canada, so it is really friendly, and socially accepting of most other machines, regardless of lifestyle. Excello. Variable speed, typical 9 X 42, GE pancake motor. It was $2,000, and like new, although it was made in the 80s. Seems like 84, but I can't remember.
Yours is neato-er.
been rewatching a bunch of your videos and i just had my mind blown with the hex driver with the indent behind the tip of it!
I'm not sure if you take requests, but I was wondering if you'd ever considered making a video about what to look for when shopping for a used mill or lathe?
What do you mean? I´d look for names like Deckel or Schaublin and then have a look how you feel about it. Even small grooves in ways are usually an indicator they didn´t oil stuff properly so leave it if you don´t wanna rebuild the whole machine. If you find one that was stored for some time, see if it was coated in anti rust like the one tony bought as when it was last run. Usually the ones with famous names are more exspensive but also more reliable in terms of build quality and how they resist their circumstances.
Actually, that information alone was awesome! I've been researching this for a while, and learned that you should inspect the ways to ensure that they still have some "fish scales" visible to demonstrate that they have not been worn out, but I didn't know about the small groves. I'm in the US, so used Bridgeport mills are probably the most common. I keep bouncing between getting a very small import mill to begin learning on, or saving up for a used Bridgeport. I can see pros and cons to both. Machining is something I've wanted to get into for most of my life and I just keep talking myself out of one option or the other. Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it!
Just an update, I ended up getting a Deckel FP-1. It's a newer one with the ISO 40 spindle. It came with a large cabinet of accessories. Actually I think it may be every FP-1 accessory they made. It's the last entry on the Euro Mill Registry on PM with photos if you're interested.
congrats!
Hey thanks Old Tony! :) Just so you know this new habit is all your fault and my wife wants to have a word with you... In all seriousness, thanks for all the videos. I've always wanted to get into this stuff, and you gave me the kick in the pants I needed to get to it.
Congratulations on your new mill!Looks like it will be right at home with you! Enjoy the way you put you vids together.Razor!
Pretty good find beautiful and good machines greetings from switzerland 😉
Man, I wish I could learn all about milling. Other than watching videos like yours, I have no idea where to even start.
I recently started re-building a Jeep frame up. Therefore, I learned to weld and other metal fabrication skills. However, milling would be an awesome additional skill to learn.
Probably my 5th time watching this (and most of your other content...) Swear I could recite the words of some of your videos
You really did score on this machine Tony, I've watched this video a couple times and get the same jealous feeling every time I do ;-)
often when I'm using it I like to pinch myself in the handwheels so I know I'm not dreaming. ;)
Looks like when they designed it, they couldn't figure out where to stand when they were going to operate it. lol
That bit around 14:40 to 15:00 - well I could understand you perfectly because that's exactly how my teenage son talks.
Just discovered your channel, have watched over an hour's worth of videos nonstop, subscribed and gotten a friend to subscribe. Great content, fantastic sense of humor, 10/10. Keep up the good work.
Nice Machine! I NEED a mill, too! Your channel is great! I dream of a Deckel FP1, too but they are soooo expensive... Best regards from Germany! Nico from Nico's Projects
Thanks for sharing! I always look forward to your videos.
Looks like a real nice machine good luck with it and thanks for sharing.
Never underestimate the Schaublin tools, their finish and craftsmanship are second to none. Just wait until you find a Schaublin lathe. I would kill for one of those.
love your old machines I rebuilt actually remodeled a 1940 British small horizontal mill 30 taper
That Old Bob?! It's me, This Old Tony!
It looks great! I have a smaller Euromill, a Sixis 101. I am also lacking the overarm support for it, but it can still be used as a horizontal mill. When I got it the motor ( 3 phase 1/10 HP) was seized from internal rust. I was able to get it working and replaced the bearings. The split phase here is 240 V. I use a 110 V - 220 V step-up transformer with a Boston Gear 3 phase speed control. The cuts are much better looking than when I was using a rotary phase converter and 240 V. No DRO or power feeds; everything is strictly by hand.
Tony- loved your humor and video
Markus
Not sure how I missed this and a couple others but the reminiscing is nice.
TOT, I program and run a 2018 mazak 815/120 mill , a 2016 mazak qt-350MY lathe everyday and I'm so jelly belly right over this machine. Side note: Wife is just goes over the moon when I watch one of your videos a 2nd time. Thanks for reading.
Nice machine. I see that you have a Colchester Student. I just bought a Colchester(Clausing) Master Mk 2 and am very pleased with it.
The 6v outlets are surely for the work lights pictured on the production line at the start
Congrats on quite the find,Tony. That is a Beauty - First Cabin. Can't wait to see what you can do with it once you acquire the tooling you want...a never ending quest. Hopefully the horizontal support and your vice handle will show up. That Rohm vice is great. Let us know how repeatable that fixed stop is. Just got their (7182) DP vice and it's amazingly sq/straight (.0005-.001) and threads are a dream. Great Video as always, Thank You for the drool! ~PJ
+pjsalchemy Thanks PJ!
Machine looks great - good fixes as well Cheers Tony
Very nice score brother.
And, it cleaned up amazingly well.
I think you're going to get a boat-load of use out of it.
6 volt sockets? Sounds like lighting
Still one of my favourite intros, even after four years
If you've got to settle for an import, Switzerland ain't a bad choice! lol. Great score! Thanks for the video.
It's amazing what a little degreaser and towels will do! Beautiful machine.......
