Not For Nothing - Otis McDonald (No Copyright Music)
Pretty nice little score, and it's cool to see friends working together on something like that.
Seems to be a UK version of a brown and sharp no.2. Nice little fully universal mill.
Yes we are actually brothers working together!
It's actually a Victoria U1 milling machine made by the Elliott group company in England.
Lovely resto job, but the machine itself confuses me a bit. It has a ram up top, which can slide back and forth but nothing seems to be mounted on it. On a typical Bridgeport style machine, the mill head is mounted on the ram but this one has the mill head mounted to the column. So what's the ram for?
You can remove the vertical cutting head, slide the ram and put a shaft support.On the shaft , you can put some horizontal cutter to cut gears for example! If you want to picture it you can google horizontal milling machine or universal milling machine and you should find what you're looking for!
@@KOPOprojects Aha! yes of course. Thanks.
First
the guy with the beard and cap is the boss; liberal use of oil and grease in the right places and touches the machine without gloves. Touch is one of the best senses.
No way this was made in 1942, this looks way to modern to me
Hi have been offered the same machine, I’m told that with the vertical head fitted max rpm is around 500rpm, also what’s your thoughts on the machine, I have a smaller mill at present buy the deal I’ve been offered on this Victoria seems to good to miss, it also has power feed
In my opinion it's a really great and robust machine that will last forever. My U1 model with the vertical head can go up to 2020 RPM . The built in power feed is a really great feature too!! you should buy it if you have a great deal on it !
Very nice cleaning and painting work will there a part two on restoring the mill ?
Christopher Cullen
That would be a cleaning lady's not a restoration but good job either way
First cut ever is climb milling? Ballsy!
Not a restoration! Just a clean up and rub over with a paint brush?
No scrape in required? Were the ways ground originally? Really sweet machine :)
We don't have the tools to scrape in the way and for the level of accuracy we need it's not necessary. But it's a really great machine !
talk about knowing ones machine...yikes he is on it
Wow, all that work, and all the removal of great British machine-tool fitted assembly, just to repaint and reassemble it? When at 6:57 you see all that beautiful clean amber oil pouring out, it's a signal this machine was not badly maintained. Good luck with your (improved paint job) Victoria. And hey guys, do you think when you start some of that repeat scraping or other repetitive operations you could do the first few seconds atregular speed, so we can see what's happening. Thanks for making this.
im getting ready to restore old bridgeport, i wonder if u can supply with just 220
If you have a 540v motor you'll probably need to change the motor for a 220v one if you want to use it in your shop
Leadscrewas get oiled
I'm looking for a electrical drawing for a machine like this, Its three phase 575 to 600 volts ac. the machine is close so I'm thinking the control and contactor wiring will be close enough to help me
I would have loved to help but this machine runs with a 220 v single phase motor I'm not sur that I can help
@@KOPOprojects Thanx very much for your reply
nice spray can overhaul. POS
So nice to see these young guys muscling and wrenching. They should be proud of their work.
Thank you for the encouragement!
@@KOPOprojects I spent 45 years working on Bridgeport mills, Once you master them the sky opens up and so does wallet.
Yes hahahah ! I'm slowly learning to get good with mine !
Nice work on that milling machine and putting everything back together with oil, always build with oil !.
I hate to be the one that has to do it, but without feedback, you don’t improve . The whole paint process was horrible, old paint was left on, rust was painted over, no primer and some parts still had the old permatex on the surface. I don’t know if you broke it all down, but some internals still had old grease and grim during reinstalling parts.
I like constructive comments it's good to be challenged sometimes! I did what I could with what I had and what I tought was necessary. I agree it's not perfect and I'll take note of your comments for next time ! Thanks
@@KOPOprojects I glad you didn’t see that as rude, I was only trying to help. I understand working with what you had. That’s how I learned, people pointing out where I need improvement. But overall, it does look nice, keep up the good work!
Thanks ! I'll sure learn from your comments
Looks like it was a well cared for "old Iron" mill. You all did a Nice job on the restoration to bring her back to life with a fresh color scheme. Surprising the ways, lead screws, and bearings were in that good of shape. How is the flatness and backlash and what is the designation of the tool holder? Quite the pile of scotchbrite I bet! Well done and thanks for sharing this with us! Hope you get lots more years of good use from it!
Thanks! A lot of hard work went into that machine and it's nice to see that you enjoy it! Actually the milling was a bit rebuilt in 2006 but the previous owner kept it for 3 years in a humid barn without using it so that's why the parts are in such good shape but that she is in such a bad exterior condition. The tool holder is a MTB2 to ER32. The backlash is quite good and I did'nt checked for flatness yet!
@@KOPOprojects Clearly a Lot of hard work! Thanks for the info. Interesting on the tool holder could quite get a handle on it.

Hey we have machines in STOCK like that- that haven't worked in THIRTY years. Not that much love needed to put back in operation, really. We find a good cleaning of all machine ways surfaces, ensure bearings have no rust, some lubrication here and there and it's off to the races, and all else usually falls
in place again. 🙂
Yes exactly she was already in a not too bad shape she needed just a bit of love !
Working at a milling machine with a hair like that ... He's a risky guy.
Primer gray and Mustard yellow. At least it works.
What sort of paint are you using have a similar project epoxy enamel?
I used tremclad oil based paint if it helps !
@@KOPOprojects awesome thank you
Admire your machine..........I have a similar one and I am in need of a few parts I wonder if you can help? Gib strip for the table and the two ends plates for the table..........keep the good work up
I don't think anyone makes them anymore sorry... but thank you !

Nice job guys, I have the same machine but U2 model in my garage, Converted to cnc and 10000rpm iso30 quick change spindle.
Thanks !
How did you converted the spindle to turn 10000 with the gearbox ?
KOPO No, with VFD and separate spindle motor, direct drive. Go check my channel ruclips.net/video/cK8GqIieLMY/видео.html
Nice ! You really did a great job on that modified tool holder !
KOPO Thank you!
What a well-chosen machine. A+ work. I hope it serves you well, or your restoration business takes off!
Yes it's a super well made machine! and thanks a lot!
what is the brand of the machine?.please
It's a victoria milling machine!
Bravo, nice work chaps
Thanks! 👌
Nice refurb fella's. I have the exact same model that I will also do a full refurb on. You can check out the purchase on my channel.
Cam
Awesome! It's funny because we actually had seen your video and commented on it 2 months ago.👍 Looking forward to watching the restoration!
Great job on this restoration! Did you check it for lead paint before you started scraping? Lol 😆
Fantastic job! Is that a slotting head on top?
Thank you ! But no it's actually a sliding arm that ables you to do horizontal milling!
How many days took to recondition the machine. Because iam also service engineer, pls share your comments
It took about 2-3 months but only during week end and free time
Slide ways?you leave same before?
I don't have the equipment nor the tooling for that, I know it would have been better but it's good enough for me!
i can't even afford a smaller one yet, but i like these kind of videos to watch in my spare time. Hopefully i can afford one someday, or build one
I'm sure one day you'll be able to afford one !
Love, passion, knowledge, skill and diligence! That is the way to success! Keep going!
Greetings from Dresden!
Thank you ! It's really appreciated !
Hola amigo , lleva solo grasa en los engranajes de el cabezal ?
Good shape folks !!.. really really nice job ..witch paint or serial number of paint u used for did it?
We're pleased that you like it! We used Tremclad oil based paint .
I really like this job ,its really awesome
Quelle belle pièce, fabriqué pour durer, ce n'est pas les chinoises d'aujourd'hui. Vous avez réalisé toute une restoration, chapeau.
Vous lui avez donné un autre 50 ans de vie minimum.
Oui merci! Une machine robuste j'espère bien pouvoir l'utiliser encore toute un vie !
how do you tram the nod on that?
If it's not perfect, people use shims behid the whole vertical head attachment
Great job on this one. 🎩 off! I am about to pick one up hopefully next week.
Greg
Thank you ! Hopefully the pick up goes well, good luck !
Great machine, enjoyed watching your overhaul. Looks brilliant. Tony
Thanks!
Nice job
Thank you!
I have the exact same machine, and im also in the process of restoring it.. about to watch your video. Mines a Victoria U2 universal mill.
Nice to hear that! Good luck with our restoration!🔥
This is what WE doo.
What oil are you using please??
For the ways I'm using iso 68 oil !
Gear box oil??
Thanks bro great video
Hello, where did you get the new badges from?
We took the measurements and then we vectorized them on Adobe Illustrator. Then we asked a specialized local workshop to make the tags for us. We hope it's helping you!
Thanks a lot. I like your vice, could you tell me how much it weighs? I’ve got a big one too and want to ensure it’s not too heavy.
We are really happy that you loved the video ! The big vise weight about 145 lb !
@@KOPOprojects yeah just a great video. I’ve got a 220lbs vice do you think the mill would handle it ok!?
@@grahamdowdell4356 It should be all right, you will probably only lose some z-axis working space.
Too bad all the ways were shot
Question. I'm not a metal machine guy but as the ways are now attached to the mill itself, couldn't they use the mill itself to resurface the ways?
Unfortunately, the ways are essential to machine with precision so you can't machine the ways of the machine you're using.

hi, nice to see old english machine of same kind one i have owned, if your machine is manufactured in 1942 then mine is too older than your as your machine is upgraded model than mine. plz can you help me as i am also interested to restore my beloved machine with some issues.
Yes that's a really good machine ! But yes I would be pleased to help what can I do for you ?
y and z axis auto feed not working , need to replace drive gears located in z axis knee. x axis table i can remove with swivel but i am stuck with y and z assembly
ruclips.net/video/UVgVwj3PJTE/видео.html
On my Victoria mill, there is only a x axis but there is no y and z axis power feed so I'm not sure that I can help. 👍
@@KOPOprojects i have shared you RUclips like for my machine......plz have a look
Nice…love the outro as well
Thanks !
Nice machine and good job👍
Thank you! I love your videos! 👌
How did you make the new tags?
We remade them on adobe illustrator and a local company put our design on aluminum tags!
@@KOPOprojects Really fantastic. I was interested because I also restore
what you had was a dirty greasy worn out machine. Now you have a beautifully painted cleaned up worn out machine. If you don't scrape in the ways you haven't really addressed the wear in the machine. It could be way out of square, the gibs could be tight in one position and loose in the other. You are not alone, I see this all over youtube where people think restoring a machine means cleaning and painting. I would much prefer to have a machine that was scraped in and accurate with old paint. It will do much better work, cut accurately with the ways 90 deg to each other and take deeper cuts without chattering and leave a better finish.
We are doing that for fun and as an hobby, restoring it this way is more then enough for our use.
How do you know its worn? Previous posts says it was rebuilt earlier. Just needs a clean up.
Scraping a machine isn't for a DIYer
Awsome 🍻
Thanks ! It's really appreciated !
Les meilleurs
👍👍👍
bravo les cousins! super vidéo.
Merci Nelson! 👍
very nice restauration video but the yellow is awful 😂is this supposed to be original?
