I just wanted to let you know that I finally got my hands on the original drawings and like some of you already said, gaskets are better for the gear mesh and the drawings do call out gaskets. It works fine the way it is right now, but of course I will revisit the feed box and undo this mistake. I will show it in a later video (just as a side note).
Thank you all for watching and have a nice day.
4:45 loving the LPL reference! Good job! 👍
Stunningly great work Phil, your discipline and principles are a testament to your work ethic, don't ever change.
I wish I had a friend like you that lived near me. This is so awesome.
Dear Phil, marvellous result. How on Earth did you remember which box, screw, plate and shaft went where?
Prima Arbeit & Video, danke fürs Dokumentieren! Gerne mehr davon....👍
7:40 You should have used the RTV on the side of the screw hole. The way you applied the sealant may result in oil leaking screws.
That appears to be a great machine, the design is great, and it also looks well built. You did good with this acquisition brother, it appears to have all the bells and whistles that anyone would want, I would like to see how well the horizontal milling works as well if you ever get that set up one day. Good vid, I enjoyed the content, you earned my subscription and thumbs up. Cheers mate from Phoenix Arizona USA
Well done. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
That thing is a beauty! Got me wanting to take my mill apart now🙄. Great video.
Is it worth it ???
IF you ask anyone else ?
Most people would say... NO.
But, projects like this can be very interesting to be involved with.
I took it a little further and decided to Rebuild a Mazak CNC Lathe ???
Not something I planned, but once I started I could stop myself 😄👍
I really enjoy your videos mate. Hello from Australia.
Excellent job of tear down and clean up
Nice handy mill
promising channel, nice filming, interesting subject, just talk a little more or put some music. subbed!
Absolutely awesome, wonderful work! I have done a bunch of machine restorations, but I have never been as meticulous and precise as you were in this video! Awesome machine and I cant wait to see more videos!
I tried my best, but it is far from being perfect. I’m glad you liked it!
Hello from Ireland
Thank you for taking all the effort to make these videos, they were excellent.
I am a hobby machinist and you have inspired me to get back to work on a Korradi UW 10 mill that I purchased some months ago and have left sitting.
I am looking forward to your future projects and if your videos are even half as good as these, I have no doubt your views and subscribers will rapidly increase.
Thanks again
Thank you that’s awesome to hear! Consider making a video of it, I would watch it 😉
Nice to watch, thanks for sharing
WOW I followed you, through cleaning and the final assemble. The most impressive was the the test run. I'm a little jealous, I wish my machine worked like yours. Nice work nice machine, Enjoy.
Thanks a lot! Yes, 3 axis powerfeed is pretty fun :D
We don't repaint the machines for ourselves..it's for the frauleins that come into the shop who like to see it looking pretty. 😉
I feel utterly betrayed, after all the years and painting hard to reach spots, I hear it isn't for rust prevention.
From now on, it's golden spray paint and stick on rhinestone.
First class work.
great video, keep up the great work. Many people that are watching it are not aware how much work it is just to do that kind of work, and how much more it is to make a video of it. I like it a lot.
Thank you! It really is a lot of work but also a lot of fun if everything plays out.
Great start to the channel, good luck. Your voice is relaxing so don't worry about providing too much narration.
Very enjoyable video, looking forward to more. Thanks and Subscribed.
Great video! :)
Loved your attention to detail!
That's a great job Phil, you will have a lot of fun on this machine, I refurbish a Bridgeport on the same way and indeed that's a lot of work. But now he is working I use him every day.
Thanks! Yes, it is quite a bit more fun than my Mini-Mill :D
Great job!
Sehr cooles Projekt. Danke fürs zeigen.
Mach weiter so. 👍
Danke!
Well done 👍
Great content!
I love overhauling the machine How much did you bought this ?
Just found your channel and subscribed. Very nice work
Man I wish I was mechanically inclined enough to do something like this. I could get it apart no problem but there is no chance in hell I could ever get it put back together.
4:50 Brilliant L.P.L.
Mill project fantastic done good, well found.
12:22 Marcel Marceau not so good.
Can't cook dinner and listen to Marcel Marceau!
fantastic
One he'll of a mill
Add another 200 hours and 4000 euros in measuring equipiment and you can rescrape the machine :D
Nice job! I enjoyec the videos, but some explanation would enhance the experience I think. I watch a fair amount of machining youtube, but I am not an engineer and I don't have the money or space to be a hobby machinist myself, so a lot of what you are doing looks interesting but goes over my head. Now, I'm not every viewer so take my viewpoint with 500g of salt.
Those 3D printed parts look like mighty tempting first projects for the mill to remake in metal, don't they?
Nice workmanship Phil :) One thing; did you check the gear mesh for the gears where you omitted the gaskets? If set too tight you might experience premature wear and failure of gears and other associated hardware.
Thanks! Yes, I did a dry fit of the clutch plate and the motor before the final assembly and checked every gear.
richtig richtig gut und glückwunsch zur Maschine! Aus welcher Ecke kommst du?
This was awesome!!! Congratulations! Is that rattling noise the motor?
Thanks! No, the nylon gear on the motor has a damaged tooth, this is what you can hear when I'm not using the rapids. I will have to make a new one.
Nice ,but you changing distance between wheels and shafts without gaskets ......will it run? yes, but....
Lovely job. Did you consider scraping the ways before reassembly? Not so much to get them flat again as they seem in reasonable condition, but to increase oil retention and prevent ever-increasing wear of the precision surfaces. Really great start to your channel! Subscribed :)
Thank you! Yes, I thought about rescraping, but I’m just not good enough at it. I still need a lot of practice, but when I got it down, I would like to do it.
Most amateurs do more harm than good when they "re-scrape" a machine. It is a meticulous process that requires precise measuring to establish the datum plane. All the ways are either parallel or exactly perpendicular to that datum plane. You can be perfectly flat, but sloping off in any of the three axes. And as far as adding flaking willy nilly to "enhance oil adhesion", that is often just adding more wear too the ways. The only amateur that I know who can properly scrape in a machine tool has been through a class twice to learn how. I cringe whenever I read RUclips comments from well-intentioned, but uninformed people talking about machine scraping. Well done on your part to resist that.
@@vandalsgarage you are making quite a leap here. You are assuming that I was suggesting that it would have been a great idea to just whip out a scraper and have at it. Your points regarding measurement and experience are excellent, but you could have made them without negativity or snarkiness. I would not make any attempt at scraping or flaking without the prerequisite training and preparation either, and it should go without saying that by choosing not to address wear before reassembling the mill means that should he choose to do so in the future, Phil will need to repeat much of the work he has already done.
Kleiner Tipp wenn man Flüssigdichtung anstatt Papier Dichtung verwendet sollte man das Flankenspiel kontrollieren.
Hab die Kupplung und den Motor vorher einmal trocken angebaut und die Zahnräder geprüft, aber trotzdem danke für einen hilfreichen Tipp!
What make of machine do we see here ? I am a great fun of the deckle s
It’s a Fexac UP.
is that a Sajo?
No, it’s a Fexac Model UP
Hey voll cool gemacht. Was muss du für so eine Maschine € geben?
Kommt sehr darauf an was man genau haben will aber für 2k bekommt man eigentlich was brauchbares wenn man etwas Geduld hat.
Explaining - bear in mind that I haven't got a clue what you are doing. That is not talking. Should you have kept me up with what you did I would have benifited - I might as well have watched paint dry.
As for 200 hours if you are/were happy with what you did then it was worth while.
Thanks for your feedback, I will change this in my next video.
do you have an email? it will help@@PhilEngineering
Chisel is NOT the tool to scrape off old gaskets. The video is all over the place and the time lapse is choppy. Looks as if a professional should have rehabbed your mill.
