Lathe Restoration || INHERITANCE MACHINING

- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- Join me in the machine shop for the lathe restoration. This is an engine lathe (or metal lathe) that I inherited from my grandfather and it is a metal machine tool used for metal turning and thread cutting, among many other lathe uses. During this machine restoration I will be getting into a little bit of everything including the lathe chuck assembly, power feed mechanisms, tailstock alignment with a dial test indicator, and even lathe safety. And who knows, we might even make some metal chips on this fine piece of industrial machinery.

Hey, everyone! Just chiming in on leveling the lathe, or rather that I didn't in the video. Like many have pointed out, I'll need to do this to take the twist and bow out of the lathe bed and ensure accurate cuts. It might even take care of the tailstock issue I mention. I expect this to be a fairly tedious process (especially given my perfectionist tendencies) so I have been waiting until I am absolutely sure of the final position. Heck, I might even make a video about it. Thank you all for the support and encouragement!
awesome video, I for one would like to see a video on how you level this beauty
tell you what thay all shout about cnc but when shit hits the fan . it will be old school that will save the day .
Gramps is proud of you! Just think all the metal and lives that has shaped..
@@tonyking9235 Amen!
heh I just recently plopped my 10" lathe on a wooden bench for temporary storage, and then for giggles checked the alignment there, under 0.0003" over 10". Guess it lives there now!
Do you think you'll block up the lathe off of the casters with some steel blocks for helping to maintain your new alignment when you get there?
That transition from dirty to clean with you walking in front of the camera was so smooth. You put in effort youtube doesn’t deserve
Hell yeah I got hearted. Btw I’m from kentucky too so if you need a video editor just let me know. I would be in it for the machining because thats my passion too but I’ve done a decent bit of adobe premier editing
Professional level🥇
From my point of view, it is not that he puts in efforts RUclips doesn't deserve, but more that he puts in effort us, the people who enjoy his content, deserve... because, as much as he love his machines, he likes us ^^
Your Grandfather is a lucky Man to have you looking after his machine and tools with such love and care. He will rest well. Thank you for sharing your time.
You are very kind. Thank you
Your channel is far superior to anything on TV. Thank you for all the hard work.
Honestly the bar isn't that high 😂 but still, I really appreciate that! Thank you
It’s like a more relaxing how it’s made episode, but without the final cheesy pun
I cannot express adequately how this warms my heart. Both my Dad and Uncle we custodians of machine tools. Seeing you care and keep using the tools from your Grandfather is so comforting. All of my tools are going to my niece who shares my love of making and learning. She will be required to watch all of your videos to gain perspective.
That is quite the compliment. Thank you! I'm glad you also have someone in your life to pass your knowledge and machines onto.
After viewing your cleanup of the lathe and replacing the old controls with a VFD. You should avoid the use of fluorescent lighting as it blinks 120 times per second which, depending on the speed of the lathe give you the impression the chuck is not moving. Use LED's or incandescents. On any machine tool, you want to have a single source of electricity. Only. You also want to make sure that you have a 'push to start' circuit included. If you have electricity interrupted for what ever reason, you do not want the machine to start up again without your input.
I inherited nothing from my grandfather, and a not much more from my father, so I'm a little bit jealous of your inherited machinery setup. Heck I don't even have a workshop...so I live vicariously through people like you :)
Nice to see your Grandfather left his machines in good hands, that old lathe looks in fantastic condition after a good clean.
It's great that you got your Grandpa's lathe. I have some of my Grandpa's tools as well. I can look at these tools and remember the fun I used to have on his farm. Thank you for a wonderful video!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
I’ve discovered your channel last week and watched all your videos, and I liked them very much. I particularly liked this kind of nostalgia you share towards your grand father and somehow vintage machinery. You started a channel that I will follow with enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing this lively experience in this great home machine shop 👍🏻👍🏻
Peiro from Geneva Switzerland
Peiro, thank you so much! I'm really glad the atmosphere I was going for is coming through. Thanks again for the support!
Peiro, you should make a video, I would gladly watch it.
I love your content. It’s so much different than the other machinist youtuber stuff on here. It’s relaxing and you don’t talk too much or over explain things
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for watching! Next time we will actually be making something in this shop. Stay tuned for the next video on Friday, March 4th at 10AM Eastern. See you then!
Please watch Abom79. He gives good tips on lathes.
@@MrStacygordon Been working my way through some of his backlog. Very knowledgeable guy!
@@InheritanceMachining He grew up with Machinist. His grandfather and father.
I enjoyed this, nice machine bud.
@@MrStacygordon that's what I've heard
just came across your channel, but I hope you realize how proud your grandfather would be seeing you restore and use these wonderful pieces. Can't wait to binge watch the rest of your channel,
These videos are just wonderful and really hit me in the feels. Seeing you give all of this love to the machines you got from your grandfather and were able to use as a youngling.
Coming from a woodworking background I recently bought a Logan 200. I have torn it down once and now a second time for a repaint. Appreciate your attention to detail!
Your grandfather would be proud.
Good job breathing new life into these machines; hopefully one day your children and grandchildren will inherit them.
Truly enjoying your channel.
Started my machining career in 1972 when these kinds of machines still dominated factory floors. CNCs are cool, but nothing beats a manual machine in my book.
I can almost smell the cutting out. 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Very special, thanks for letting us in on it.
The way you are honoring your grandfather is indeed inspirational. I’ve been teaching myself machining since I retired in 2011 after 37 years as a union sheet metal worker. Your videos are a great teaching tool and I appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you so much ❤❤
My pleasure. Thank you as well!
Stumbled on this channel yesterday and am now watching all your videos to get up to speed. I love machining channels as I am somewhat of a maker myself but cannot afford these machines. Really enjoying your journey so far and look forward to what you make in the future.
Ps having gone to school for architecture (now a laboratory design consultant) I really appreciate your drafting set up. Puts my drafting table and parallel bar to shame!
Grandfather would be proud of you for taking such good care of your machines!
I put a lot of time into my old Colchester and got similar results. I’m tempted to do a full restoration but that’s more of a commitment than I have time for right now! Great video and keep them coming👍👍
As an engineer myself, I'm super impressed. How did you learn how to edit and film videos this well right off the bat?
Thanks. I have a hobby background in photography and my wife is a pro at video editing
Used to work on a similar analog lathe for a shorth while and I fell in love with it and machining in general. I'm a HVAC engeneer I just helped my ex father in law in his shop althou the love with my ex didn't last love for this machine and the work did haha. I really enjoy your content and watch every video but this one is my favourite because of my secound love, careing for my tools.
Brandon, my husband and I enjoy watching all of your remodeling projects with Paige. We now found ourselves enjoying this new venture
Watching the care and love that you have put into the restoration of these tools has been heart warming. We look forward to many more.
Thanks so much from both Paige and I!
Absolutely fabulous work over on that machine. Going thru everything gives such a sense of confidence & also pride in owning such a tool. Great stuff !
I like the vibe you bring to these videos, it's somewhere in between the zany energy fireball tool brings and the very simple and direct energy Matthias Wandel brings. both are nice but yours is very comfortable while being informative!
I really appreciate that! I haven't heard of Matthias. I'll have to check him out
저는 한국인 구독자입니다. 선반과 밀링을 잘 청소하고 문제점 등 원인을 찾아해결하는게 멋져습니다.
last shop I was in, I was the guy who had to keep all the lathes clean and operable. it warms my heart that there's a lathe out there getting a proper spa day
It’s so cool coming back to this and spotting the various improvements you’ve made
Nice to see you working in your bare hands, true shop guy. Been doing it that way since 1980 my hands are fine.
I made a hammer in shop class on a machine like that about 35 years ago. I still use it all the time when gunsmithing or wrenching on motorcycles. I love that I made it. Especially because my father was a machinist for Polaroid. I regret not following in his footsteps.
So satisfying. You just can't beat good older made equipment. They were built to withstand time itself.
The late is my favorite machine. I have mine tooled up with about everything you can get. The DRO has been a life saver. One thing I just finished and maybe you’d like is I fabricated an angled holder that I mounted to the back splash guard. I made it wide enough to hold all my Aloris tool holders . Very hand indeed. As always a great video
I completely understand your love for this trade..! Will watch all your videos from the start..
Nice you were able to use your Grandpa's tools. Very satisfying to see a clean machine.
There are few things more satisfying than the reassembly and first usage of flat mating surfaces that you've personally cleaned, trued, and oiled. This was awesome to watch!
you speak my language haha thanks!
I like how much respect you show to this old analog lathe. Though in our workshop we have only such machines.
Whatever you do, don’t stop making videos. These are truly fantastic.
I had the rebranded version of this lathe (Mazak-mate) and it was an absolute dream to work on. Fantastic compromise between power and precision.
Thank you so much! We are doing everything we can to keep them coming!
I also couldn't agree more on this lathe. Did you happen to have the Acra or some other brand?
This is my new favourite channel!! How did I never find this before. I love the video production quality, the audio and of course the content subject matter!! I’m lucky Tonga e so much to go back through!! Thank you for making this great stuff!!!
Nice! I recently scored a NOS 33 year old lathe that sat in a corner at the university for 32 years and wasn't used. I removed all the parts and replaced all belts and common bearings. It's brand new and ready to make me money!
Great cleanup. I have found a magnet inside a plastic baggie grabs those shavings with no issue. Then just fold off the bag from the magnet and bam, bagged chips. Different magnets pulls and sizes make a quick cleanup.
Just discovered your channel and am loving all of it. Like others have said, your quiet presentation style is a unique and welcome change from so much of the other machining content out there.
Btw, I use Tap Magic cutting oil, and it smokes just like that every time I use it. That's what makes machine shops smell so good!
Welcome! I really appreciate that! Tap magic does add to the atmosphere of the shop 😁
@Kettletrigger
Yeah I agree, like his tone and seems quite amusing 😊
One of the instructors in the machining program I took blames his throat cancer on inhaling fumes from burning coolant/cutting oil.
On a much smaller scale I have done this clean-up on several small lathes. Oddly…VERY satisfying! 😊
Man that is neat, I used a 1971 Leblond 19 X 54 Lathe the things I made for aircraft parts was unreal... I can still hear that sound of the Lathe running in my head.
That's awesome! I always find it amazing the things people could make on these manual machines before CNC became dominant.
FYI I had the same feeling when I turned these on for the first time after all these years. Sounded exactly like my memories!
Just watched it for the second time. Sorta reminds me of the old shipyard lathe I bought and fixed up, tho mine was a bit smaller and not as posh as yours. Now a days I make do with my Chinese mini lathe. Great videos and good work you do, thanks a million. Wish I could make drawings like you do.
I just did the same thing, bought a Lathe on 1. March (Tiger Wien III) it is called, and am now taking it apart and rebuilding it. Great little machine with 5mm of gunk on and about 2kg of aluminum chips in it.
Working at Emco making these machines myself, it helps ;)
12:28 Cant tell how you many times I ended with a monkey bump on the back of the noggin from things like that, but finally learned my lesson after the last time a couple years ago. Was sitting on the floor pulling a clutch off of a motor's keyed shaft and my tire machine that was right behind me with the jack stands up against it. The clutch popped off all of a sudden, I slammed into the jack stands, and my back felt like ... well you can imagine. Took 2 weeks before my back healed enough for my wife to unground me and let me back out to play again
By the way, I bet your grandfather would be proud of you, and I really like your videos. No stupid music covering up the actual sounds of things and you give a lot of detail for us to follow
Lovely lathe and a very good clean up - a great way to remember your Grandfather. Enjoy it for years to come.
Thanks a bunch. I definitely plan to
Just discovered these videos, you did a great job. Enjoy watching them. Keep going with your shop videos and highlights.👍
The lathe to me is the most satisfying tool a metal worker can own. You have a really nice lathe that most people would be envious of.
The more I use this machine the more I fall in love. It is such a pleasure to work with.
wonderful and mesmerising work! beautiful lathe!
I knew I'd love watching this channel. I used to have that exact Micronta bench meter back in the 1980s.
Really enjoyable video! Such wonderful nostalgia and production values.
I used to work with an older mechanical engineer, a brilliant man, who had spent time at a major machine tool maker in Cincinnati. He told me they performed extensive studies on the dynamics of the cutting process. They determined that cutting is a process of continuous shearing of the metal, which causes friction, which generates heat. They concluded that the primary function of "cutting fluid" isn't lubrication, but heat removal. Hence, modern machine tools use "coolant" vs. "cutting fluid". Flooding the work area with coolant removes the heat generated by the shearing action of cutting, prolonging tool life.
Thanks! That makes sense. Also something about making the right kind of chips ensures a lot of the heat leaves with the chips rather than going into the tooling.
Love that lathe,brings back memories....
I lost my grandfather in august and like you, he was someone I was very close with. This is an amazing way to honor his legacy
I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been there. Thank you
i am so jealous, your grandpa really knew what stuff to get.
i cant wait to see you make some projects
Thanks!
That machine is absolutely gorgeous, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
I love the fact that the old oil still works to preventing the rust to damage the machine.
But I love to see the result of your cleaning makes the machine not only looks great but works perfectly as designed!
It was a blessing that it kept it protected for so long 😁
Great job getting her back in shape! Really nice machine.
Thank you!
first I want to thank You for Your videos; they are very informative and very well edited. I am not a machinist and maybe I am not the first to note this regarding the smokyness of the coolant, but as far as I understood this the heating up of the coolant takes away the heat oft the tool and the workpiece. So it is ok to get some smoke from there. All the best to You!
I like the way you explain every thing and I am still learning Thanks
since i found your channel it has become my favorite machining channel .. sure ENJOYED.. great job on the cleanup your Grandfather would be proud .
Thank you so much!
Stunning, simply stunning. At that’s the videography and narration, as well as the way you cleaned the lathe. 👏👏👍😀
Thank you!
In the workshop im in we had a dean smith & grace 19×49. It was a gem inside, perfectly clean and everything looking brand new despite its age. Unfortunately the precision bearing collapsed and they refused to pay to get it repaired. The other two a colchester 60 and a Colchester Triumph 2500 are spectacular to use. The lathe is one of my favourite pieces of machine to use.
This is a great example of someting i say with lots of cnc machine, if you keep your machine looking pretty good, it will work pretty good
I have traveled your path via a detour. Growing up in a third world country, technology magically appeared, nothing about it was organic or homegrown. I was fortunate to come to US and get a pigskin saying I'm a Mechanical Engineer. There was a revolution back home and I ended up staying and going into finance, my other love. About 20 years ago, I got the bug of saving old machine tools of people like your grandfather who weren't as fortunate to have a grandson with the vision and passion to appreciate the treasures. I have learned more from these silent old giants coming to life and speaking to me than anything taught in a classroom. Friends in my care for life. Enjoy your good fortune and thank you so much for sharing.
Wow. That definitely is a different path to end up in a similar place. Sounds like you have had your own string of fortunate events. You are 100% right about learning more by working with these machines than you do in the classroom. I can personally attest to that. Thank you for sharing as well as your support!
I love the planned video shots of the lathe before/after. Really well thought-out cinematography! So glad I subscribed to your channel. You do a great job of showing cool machining techniques to newbies like myself who don't have the tools but may one day invest in them. Thank you so much.
😊 Thanks for noticing! And welcome!
Never thought I'd be super satisfied at the sound of a lathe starting up, but here we are
Imagine. Some people go their whole lives...
Coolant helps to keep ur lathe clean ! Additives for rust protection are helpful to. I know sometimes it makes a great mess but cleaning it up with the coolant fluids makes u really quick too
Rocol cutting fluid is good, it's what I use at work and it doesn't smoke unless you take really big cuts, you'll want the suds pump working though it's such a blessing for drilling, boring or parting
Thanks for the tip! I'd like to get my flood system up a running before too long
So glad to have found a new machining channel and it's shaping up to be a great one! Wonderful content, editing and knowledge. Great job!
Thank you very much! Welcome!
Your grandfather would be proud! The lathe looks fantastic.
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
absolutely amazing work and very nice to watch. awesome camerawork and everything was straight and too the point. loved it
Thank you!
Very nice job cleaning it up an putting it in working order. Awesome cool to see your videos and hearing your story. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you, sir!
Nice video, you won't regret what you have done, especially clearing the blocked oil way. Good work, I am sure your grandfather would be very happy. Michael, from Australia
Thanks, Michael!
Yeah, beautiful machine!
Really enjoyed this video. Always fun to watch an old tool get brought back to life
Thank you!
nice photography and videography and editing, it makes for a very enjoyable watch as you use your grandfather's gift. you are very blessed.
Thank you very much!
Though I’m not familiar with the brand, it’s a fine looking machine ! Great narrative and easy going attitude also. It runs quiet also, a lot quieter than many I’ve heard 👍. Thanks for sharing, my Grandad was a butcher and my Dad was a tool maker and Machinest for a company in S. Mi who made seats for Willys, Ford, and Chrysler. I left home to drive Semi, am now retired and thinking about getting an old lathe to clean up, restore, and make some chips with. The things our Dads & Grandads taught us are worth hanging on to and won’t soon be forgotten …… cary on.
Thank you and thanks for sharing. You should get yourself a lathe. Turning is very therapeutic!
Amen ! ❤️
Incredible!!!!!! Those old lathes will last a lifetime and they’ll last two lifetimes if taken care of. Thanks for rescuing a old machine. Enjoy brother! MLGB
Thank you! I hope to keep these machines up and one day pass them on to someone like they were to me.
If there's an afterlife grandfather is smiling I'm sure he never meant to let it get like that busy making a living I imagine keep up the good work
Yeah definitely not. He always taught me that If i use something, always leave it in a better state than you found it. He was retired but plagued with health problems.
What a beautiful lathe... I'm jealous... I've been wanting a lathe for years... Too old now to get one... Enjoy your machining time... Dave
I just stumbled across this channel. It's interesting that I just inherited a bunch of Machining tools from my father including a monarch lathe and Powermatic Mill plus every God knows what attachment. I'd like to learn how to use those tools. I'll be watching more of your videos.
Watched all of your videos posted so far. I'm the son of a machinist, probably of a vintage between your dad and granddad. And, I'm a a hobby machinist as well. The shop keep growing, now at 3 lathes, three mills, two band saws, a surface grinder and misc other stuff. Very addictive. Keep up the good (excellent) work.
Ha! It can get out of hand pretty quickly. If I follow your path I may need to expand before too long. Thanks for the support!
What a beautiful machine. Awesome
Awesome channel and content. Can't wait to see what's in store next. Happy chip making!
Thank you!
I have watched many of your videos and this is just absolutely spectacular story telling and cinematography
Thank you!
great series, your grandad would be proud
For all the things in this world that I dont understand....
I completely understand the love, respect and passion for tools.
They are as close to sacred as anything on this planet,
up there, almost, with plants, forests and clean mountian streams, clean clear skies
animals and... good folk with pure hearts and a perfect moral compass
you won my subscription, cant wait for more!
I meant to say this before Brandon - the frames and wheels for the big machines, that's an excellent idea.
getting big "This old Tony" vibes! love the videos my man
Just found the channel the other day, and decided to start at the first video and watch them all
Greatest video.
The way I center up the tailstock is by putting up a long rod between the chuck and the tailstock and turn it down a few tenths (mm) all the way, then I take a micrometer and measure at both ends and then you see which way you have to adjust it to.
Thanks! I think I'll be trying this in the not too distant future. After I actually level this beast
Great video. I get to run one just a few sizes larger at work. It was made by the same people.
Thanks.
Very satisfying watching u and not me cleaning the mill and lathe. Can't wait to watch you make chips.
Ha! Glad you enjoyed my misery!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Awesome videos you just happened to be living my dream and I wish you the very best of luck with it.
Can't wait for the rest of your videos I would also love a closer look at your welding workbench as I really like the design of that one. Your grandfather knew what he was doing
Thank you so much! The workbench will definitely make an appearance in future videos. There will probably come a time where I upgrade the storage underneath.
Same here. Too bad… I live in a confined space, can only have a Sherline.
Great machine!
