Thank you for the video. We just purchased an older hapfo 7000 and we are trying to get it running. Do you know where to get a manual or other info for these machines?
Hi Jon looking at your steady I noticed what look like white packers on all 4 flats of your square spindle, how are they fixed to the steady have you added them. I have an Intorex copy lathe and when trying to turn small section spindles I get to much vibration even through I'm using my steady with the correct ring on these Intorex lathes the tail stock is hydraulic and judging the amount of pressure exerted on the end of the spindle I find very difficult to get right any advice would be appreciated if tried contacting Intorex and the machine distributors in this country but due to this vivid 19 no ones back to work yet.

Hi Les the packers were hand fitted to a set of 4 elongated plates that were an additional item that came with Hapfo steadies and were purchased separately. these plates were made by ourselves from( a Polythene based Acrylic type perspex) then drilled/ tapped and screwed on , it just made the steady slip along the the sides of the blank easier as it reduced friction not in any way to reduce vibration . In my experience the vibration you are experiencing could be down to a few common problems . 1. timber blanks need to be extremely accurately planed on all four sides ,if passed through a THICKNESS PLANER work from the same 2 faces always ,cutting the blanks with a circular saw alone is not enough prep ,if customers came to us with their own timber that they had prepared we usually had to re size it ACCURACY is vital to eliminate the problems your describing .the fit must be tight but not too tight hence why we used the slip plates ,you do not want any play between spindle and Ring steady 2. Turn the blanks as soon as possible after machining , any delay will increase the possibilities of the blanks becoming BENT like a shallow curve this WILL cause eccentricity from the spindle AXIS which gives unpleasant VIBRATION , 3. At the beginning of the video notice the small block of wood (melamine faced chipboard ) i place over the tail-stock revolving centre this allows the STEADY RING to position the spindle blank as it moves backward . The block of wood allows the end grain to float around and find TRUE center ,then re-lease the tail-stock pressure remove the block and re tighten (this procedure probably the most important and best way to center a blank ) . Having said all this i am not sure how you would do this on your Hydraulic Tail-stock , i have used an INTOREX TF-2 for face plate turning and was amazed how great this company is at building Lathes they are very capable SOLID machines ! and was very impressed with the capability of INTOREX lathes . anything under 25mm will flex and maybe the tailstock could be putting on too much pressure ,but i can not speak from experience of your machine . if any of this makes sense /i hope this helps best regards John
Hi jon hanks very much for your very helpful advice regarding the way you have had to improvise your steady with the perspex packer arrangement and the accuracy of the planned stock. Being a time served joiner with my own joiners workshop I was aware of the importance of making sure the stock is both planned true square. At the moment an engineer friend of mine is going to manufacturer an identical incert ring milled square in the midle of the invert ring and with the 4 corners drilled out before milling it square so that it steadies the stock on all 4 flat sides it moves along during the copy turning I think this will work like your idea on your Hapfo lathe packing arrangement. I will let you know how I get on . But again it's the other possible problem trying to apply the correct pressure on the hydrolic tail stock. Stay safe. Les
hi jon thank you this is a great video (also the other one )! i have also a hapfo ap5000 hydro a great machine i wish it will be more videos about this machine
my apologies for the camera shake at the start ,please be patient it does improve! still many thanks to sparrow who kindly agreed to film video for me at a moments notice! & no tripod
Brave to work during an earthquake

There is a stabilisation option/filter you can use, right here on YT.
Jon enjoyed video can you help me with where you got tantung knives please?
Hey you used the latest camera technology feature: An optical destabilisator!

Hi Les could you get a hydraulic engineer to fit a pressure valve to the tail stock so you can adjust to suit you're needs?
for variable size of square its adjust in steady rest for 12mm to 75mm
hi jon
thank you this is a great video (also the other one )! i have also a hapfo ap5000 hydro a great machine i wish it will be more videos about this machine
Hi, Great work 👌 what method do you use to sharpen your V tool cutters for turning.
please give information about square steady rest
is the camera being held by a vibrator
What’s the biggest square blank this machine can run?
my apologies for the camera shake at the start ,please be patient it does improve! still many thanks to sparrow who kindly agreed to film video for me at a moments notice! & no tripod
What a great machine, sorry to hear the manufacturer went belly up.
Hello John,
Do you still have the Hapfo ?
is this furniture processing parts?
How to buy v knife
very cool and practical
Příště by to chtělo kameru na stativ a nebo nedávat při tom šaškovi za uši.
6:34 Camera man was beaten with a pole to keep steady.
think you so mutch you are my friend
I'm fron Brasil
very good
recomendo
Si no te diste cuenta la cámara vibra demaciado
parece que el que filma esta en el torno...jejeje
The Cameraman's name??? Mr Parkinson.
+carlos anzaldo LMAO
+carlos anzaldo LOL
hahahahahaha. great.
carlos anzaldo
give him a break. lol
I Have tremors it sucks
Hey man, take a drink to steady your wrist!
Is the camera guy having a seizure?
Too shaky guys, makes me dizzy.....
Metal
needs to be translated into English
Jejej el camarógrafo tiene parquinson o que pasa? Jejeje
no justo empezo el video y se estaba tocando jajajja
thought this was good/ thanks
THE GUY WITH THE CAMERA HAS HALZHEIMER OR WTF?????
Ahahahaha cesar mejia it's truee
укочало на первой минуте
who the fuck was filming this? a kangaroo??
Micheal J Fox?
Chris Yates ...
оператор слегка бухнул
А чего у оператора так руки трясутся? ))
