Hello from Norway 🇳🇴 I like your videos and thank you for sharing your knowlege! Also nice to see that you don't make an hour long video about cleaning a chuck 👍
Old timers do know a lot if said old timers have had all the experience because experience is what counts in reality. Personally I think Max is a young sprite chap with plenty of experience and not a hint of age 🙂
Far out Max, g'day mate and thanks for sharing, bloody love seeing how you do these jobs, I always learn something from you buddy Hope you're keeping well
Learnt how not to squash fingers when I was a apprentice, taking of a truck engine flywheel, sadly I thought I could hold the wait, didn't think of putting a crogy bar into a bolt hole, when it came off the ring gear crushed the end of three fingers, lucky to still have use of them. Been a reminder everytime I have taken a flywheel off. From kiwi land. Awesome job young max,
Brilliant viewing Max, no room for error or you'll have to replace the parts. I like the way you say "little lathe" now you have some big ones. Cheers Tony
That was way more than just facing 2 parts that was how to do it properly. thanks for all your videos max been helpful for me more than once and I’ve been machining for over 40 years cheers 👍👍👍👍
Exactly why the post is useful to my interest is the techniques as inside to outside travel as also, selection of tool. And, a bit larger than my usual work piece. Which would be of note if I manage a larger machine or larger chuck as the particular to 4 jaw. Thanks Max, for the well filmed product views. Nice to see work flow in your new shop. M. Washington State, US.
Looks good Max. Dialing in four places, mapping out with markers etc. was a constant in the gas turbine overhaul shop I worked in. I wasn't doing the machining back then, I was the production engineer in the marine and industrial division, but I spent hundreds of hours a year standing next to the machinists working with them to figure out how to save the part. I learned a hell of a lot from them early on. I was only involved when we were working outside of the 'book limits' so I (not the machinist) had to take responsibility for anything we did beyond that. As an ironic twist, the flight engine production engineers had a much easier time than we did as they just scrapped anything that was beyond 'book limits'. They were constantly getting what we called the 'burning bodies at the end of the runway' speech from the company lawyers and therefore took no chances. Ken
It is one thing throwing something in the lathe and facing it. It is another thinking the whole process through - even stopping to ponder when you need to. Well done.
Always some thing new to learn from Max When installing those parts you need to put Max was here on them. For the next time they may need servicing. Cheers
Thanks Max! Your videos are very relevant to guys like me, a hobbyist who has modest capabilities both in machinery and skills, but finds myself tackling similar jobs. I guess you could say that it’s great to have someone do the head scratching for me.
Very awesome. It was very good to show us how to make sure things are parallel to one another to ensure a good tight fight and for the o-ring seat. . don't want to over crush.
Excellent demonstration on machining a wonky part, preparation and planning are key, as with any other technical procedures 👍. Smaller adapter looked great material to machine. Thanks for sharing Max.
Another good job done Max. Looks like you are enjoying working in your new shop. It must feel great to have everything set up just the way you want it. Have a safe and happy Christmas. Cheers Ian New Zealand.
Always something interesting in the workshop Max, keep up the good work. Waiting to see the JFMT lathe finished. I guess that fits between paying jobs but. 👍 Cest La Vie.
Hi Max, I have a range of parallels which I can bolt to the face of the chuck using the Tee slots for jobs like these, saves a lot of setting up as you can skim them and you know the faces are going to be dead parallel to each other, you only have to clock the bore true. Good tip about mounting and de-mounting heavy work, you only got one set of fingers. Best wishes, Mal.
Hi Max, the White metal bearing will appreciate the true alignment of the pump body, no conflict there. I have Noga knockoffs, bit of doctoring and they work fine, unfortunately not the same prestige as owning a Noga.
Hey Max, great video as usual. Just thought I would let you know that I had no audio from the left channel right through this vid until the camera jumped from the view from the back of your lathe at 25.24, to maybe your phone? or other camera from the front of the lathe. Sound was suddenly back in both headphones. As soon as it jumped back to the camera on the back of the lathe, it went back to only the right channel. Just thought I would mention it. I'm currently working through all your older videos. Up to 3 years ago, so got plenty more to go to catch up. 👍
Thanks . I thought i might have an audio issue when editing , unfortunately you don't know until too late . My Rode mic , i think has an issue maintaining it's settings , as i use it with the go pro . The recording on the phone seems ok , audio wise but the picture drifts around a bit . A bit of work to do in that area . 👍
nice job Max , I really enjoy watching learning from you . I was wondering what speeds you were running those parts ? You might want to mention the speeds and feeds in up coming videos . Thank you , I look forward to your next video
not a complaint but an observation. the audio when you are mounting the part in the reverse three jaw is off, the body mic(if that what it is) is mixed on the wrong side of the camera mikes so in stereo audio you sound like you on the wrong side of the camera which is a bit weird. please keep up the content I find it very interesting.
Nice result Max. On the large flange, the out of parallel probably explains the one sided wear from the pump housing. Some sloppy setup from factory there. Cheers, Jon
Yeah its not so much about the part being pretty basic, its about the intricacies that go with it, to you being the seasoned greybeard its muscle memory almost, but to the ones learning like me, its critical information. Even the bit of safety stuff about keeping your fingers out the way incase you drop it is somthing that will be in my mind from now.
G'day Max. Excellent set-up on both Lathes & to get with 1/2 thou. Or .0005 is spot on. Good bit of machining all roung. But to have so much thickness difference on the large body, is not good. Wonder if that is due to incorrect tightening of the main bolts, or to not machined properly from original fitment. Well done, catch you on your next venture 😊🎉
The machining on 'small one' is pretty simple but set up is always time consuming, that cast steel was cutting nice and came out parallel enough In my experience there is a bit of clearance in the spline drives (even on Ingersol Rand stuff) That big bugger, I don't blame you for setting it up it off camera, out of round and distorted face, I'll bet it was a 'bunch of fun', ( at least you didn't have a manager in his suit asking to explain your doing and a foreman getting pissed off about the distraction) 🤣 (I can laugh about it now Nice one though, you made it better than new Would the slight angle be enough to cause the wear? 0.005" across a 10" plate doesn't seem like much but drive will be moving around on splines trying to push pump with it Seeing how spline wore could be interesting?

The designers and engineers are working to a much tighter budget so don't know everything when it's 'near enough' If Caterpillar product fails it doesn't 'fall out of the sky and kill people' (even if it does get very expensive)
Thanks . It is just the weight of the pump combined with the bouncing around the machine takes ( Cat 740 truck ) . Also a heavy pump combined with very little face contact area where it bolts to the flange . Often they have a support bracket to help . 👍

interesting video, it doesn't always have to be complex to be interesting max. btw, at minute 30.05 your camera is acting strange, it constantly moves a little from left to right? cheers ben.
Very well done Max. Handy tip too, about removing parts from the machine and not crushing fingers.
No worries 👍

No worries 👍
Hello from Norway 🇳🇴 I like your videos and thank you for sharing your knowlege! Also nice to see that you don't make an hour long video about cleaning a chuck 👍
Lol . When i cleaned the chuck for the big lathe , it was off camera ! 👍
Your videos are great and very informative. Greetings from Alabama, USA.
No worries 👍
Explaining everything is great. Keep it up. Old timers are the best to learn from.
Old timers do know a lot if said old timers have had all the experience because experience is what counts in reality. Personally I think Max is a young sprite chap with plenty of experience and not a hint of age 🙂
Thanks , i am not that old yet !!! 👍👍👍
I very much enjoy your videos. Don from Oregon USA.
Thanks Don . 👍
Gudday Max, Repair is fun! Great work and attention to detail...as always. Cheers
Thanks 👍
Far out Max, g'day mate and thanks for sharing, bloody love seeing how you do these jobs, I always learn something from you buddy
Hope you're keeping well
Thanks Ralfy . All good here down under ! 👍👍👍
Your conscientiousness proves why you're still in the business. The lack thereof winnows out the less capable over the years. Great job Max.
Thanks . 👍
Thanks Max. Learning tons of great info from your videos. All the best!
No worries . 👍
I always learn something from you Max, THANKS!

Awesome job young max,
That's a hard way to learn , ouch ! 👍
Who ever thought? Well you did and it's well appreciated.
Lol , no worries . 👍
Max, Great job, great camera work. ....Dave
Thanks Dave . 👍👍👍
Definitely a video worth making. There is a good lesson there watching you map out the larger flange. Every day is a school day!
No worries 👍

Ta Maxi Mollydooker great job mate.😁
No worries 👍👍👍
Thank you Max

Max, I keep an old but good Scherr-Tumico indicator on a Mini Noga at my lathe--works a treat. Money well spent IMO.

In my experience there is a bit of clearance in the spline drives (even on Ingersol Rand stuff)

(I can laugh about it now
Nice one though, you made it better than new
Would the slight angle be enough to cause the wear?
0.005" across a 10" plate doesn't seem like much but drive will be moving around on splines trying to push pump with it
Seeing how spline wore could be interesting? (at least to some of us) 😁
