No Stefan, that does not feel excessive for maintenance... That is how it should be done, and as an Austrian-German myself, i dare say it should be *clears throat* state mandated to be done so... But alas, we have people who still do not comprehend the majesty of machinery and the absolute necessity for proper service and care-taking of the machines... How many people have I alone seen using sandpaper over bare ways of a lathe and then rolling the carriage forth into piles of metal and abrasive dust on the ways...

I actually prefer automotive teflon additive(comes in tubes) for heavy gearbox oils - it`s just 90W oil with exclusively teflon rich additive to it(kinda like moly-disulphi oil/grease)... It is as thick as 00 grease and it sticks to surfaces like shit on sheets... I also prefer it as leadscrew lube and assembly lube for machinery, as well as for quills and other ``piston/shaft-bore`` mechanisms, it is essentially way-oil on crack... But i stopped adding it occasionally to the ways as I am unsure of how compatible it is with actual way-oil... It should be totally compatible, but certainty and speculation are two vastly different things, and in lube and machines - i prefer certainty... Where i only add that as lube - i use it with no worry as it unlike moly additive is transparent and thus does not look like wear-particles rich oil if there is no wear to speak of... Best regards!

Thanks again Stefan for another generous video. I really enjoy when you pull apart your nice machines, as it shows me how the various functions are designed - e.g. the spindle lock - so I can learn from that and improve the horrible machine I have. That Lang gear is very exciting. Thanks very much for showing it all. Cheers.
You milled into your vice. That's not possible. I was sure you were a robot. Glad to see even someone as meticulous as you still makes mistakes. Makes me feel a little better about scraping parts every second day
you bought the system for the best and purest motives . . . YOU WANTED IT! the fact that it will allow you to make bigger, and possibly more accurate parts faster will contribute to the bank account too. besides, we all know that when you find that the system needs improvement you will modify it to your standards. don't worry about tooling, setups, chips or talking, you've always hit a good balance . . .. if someone (obviously a philistine) gets bored there's nothing stopping them from taking a break and coming back later.
Clasic, Torque wrenches only work when you say TALK. Stefan, you missed a comment on your 3D printed mount. The 2 circumferencial straps between the part outer edges, you use them as nice safe easy handles to pull the chuck around. So good you did'nt even notice!
First and most importantly; Thank You! Adjusting the tram and nod of the milling head is something that should be a common practice for every manual milling machine owner. It is not that bad to do and once You omit the habit, it is hard to get rid of it. I have an old milling machine, Schaublin SV-51, and that has an indexing system for nodding and tramming. It is not just a nonius scale (which it has) but rather a real indexing system with tapered pins and all inside there. It is accurate enough (0,05 mm/ 200mm) and the setup takes less that 20 seconds to do. For work requiring moire accuracy, I still use dial indicators and stuff to get it spot on. One more time, Thanks for this late night salad 😀
Great content for ‘hobbyist’ viewers…. We couldn’t see this sort of innovative stuff anywhere else. Also…. I bet any ‘competitors’ ( if there are any), would be glued to your channel Stefan 🤣🤣🤣 REALLY entertaining… ALWAYS super interesting. Thank you for sharing, Regards, Robert 🇦🇺
Very nice looking system, well out of this hobbyists price range but does offer food for thought, I used high density plastic (from bottle tops I melt and mold myself, infinity remoldable) as sacrificial work holding pallets/plugs etc, not high precision but good enough and cheap as chips!
As usual, an really interesting video! I was particularly pleased that you like the Arc Euro vice and find it good enough for your work as I live only 10 miles from them and both of my vices on my mill are the same vices (125mm jaw width) and I am really impressed with them. I was inspired to mount two by you, but I didn't realise yours came from Arc too :)
Very good - nice compilation. Re: tramming a mill head - seems to me that not using the ability to rotate the mill head is a waste of the machines abilities. I’m frankly pleased to see that function being used. 👍👍
I 3D printed a lathe fixture thingy when I needed to turn a square bit of wood in my 3 jaw, since I can't afford a 4 jaw yet. Worked really well since it was just pine.
Very seldom is there only one way to accomplish something and it often comes down to personal preference, habit and experience. It’s also very easy to think of better methods after a job is finished.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on those work holding systems Stefan. Lang will most likely get some sales out of your happiness with there product. Thanks for the vid its great to get this type of content for us hobby/part time professional machinist that dont go to the trade shows. And i trust your shared thoughts more than some sales guys speel.
Hi Stefan, In my experience, there is no right way to do a job, there is only the way that works. Sometimes you have to think outside the box, and as you are thinking outside the box you realise that you are still inside it DUH, so you change the setup and this is how we evolve and grow. How about a 3D printed Christmas tree with reindeer, Santa, elves and (as I can see your face right now) a Grinch. Happy Christmas Stefan, Best wishes, Mal.
@ I’ll gladly proofread, and I’m pretty competent with Illustrator and InDesign for illustrations and typesetting; I’ll gladly offer those skills as a thank you for all of the work you put into your videos.
Every time I pull my Bridgeport apart I am amazed at the dirt and rusty oil I find. Dusty environment here in Australia. Would love to scrape the X axis a I'm pretty sure it is wallowed out in the middle.
At my job i had to make a large number of very similar parts from acrylic tube. Had to machine some large pipe threads. I was doing the work in a CNC vertical mill. I saw you wipe some sort of cutting fluid on your drill. what was that lubricant? I was wiping a small amount of WD on the taps between cycles that seemed to help with chips sticking/clogging up but it was still a pain.
If I owned a DECKLE FP I would also take such care, after 18years of searching I gave up and got a Swiss LUTHYLF10 just finishing the rebuild among other projects .
@ thank you Stefan, it is indeed beautifully built but lacks a quill and the speed range is somewhat limited , it will certainly keep me going until the deckle finally turns up , for some mysterious reason I have just purchased a 1940,s WARD 2A capstan lathe , in buisness I must have moved a few hundred of these antique workhorses, some even went to Berlin! Keep the channel flying , I know of friends across the globe who tune in to each episode. Wielen danke
For the tube, don't discount expanding mandrels as a concept. They'd allow you full access to the part to machine it. And for something like this, brass, softer metals, the mandrel can be made out of hardwood (for the expanding parts, made them out of old oak parquet). I've made one for making filter pods (cheaper) and it works pretty accurately.
Thanks for sharing these smaller updates. As a side note it is very distracting when you are looking to the viewers’ left (I assume your viewfinder is on the right side of the camera and you are just looking at yourself when you talk 😂). I keep looking over my left shoulder as if you’re seeing someone walk into my room behind me! 😂
Have you thought of/figured out a way to still have the ability to easily mount a lathe chuck to the milling machine with the Lang-System in place? I think I remember you having flats machined onto the backplates though, so I guess you could just clamp them in a vice.
Brilliant, wake up to find Stefan has dropped another video. So coffee and an extra hour in bed before getting up, really am enjoying retirement. By the way Stefan, is that Mr. Crispin's brothers toothbrush that you are using to clean the quill?
Yes Stefan we Americans are verbally challenged. All foreign words must first be simplified and then Americanized. Usually by the end only a hint of what it used to be remains. 😂 Happy holidays!!!
fantastic video, thank you for the insights. I wonder how the Lang system actually works. Four round studs in four holes looks way overconstraint to me, compared to the erowa system.
Why is the Lang system not considered an over constrained alignment? Is over constraining okay when you are holding closer tolerances than you expect out of the fixturing?
It is overconstrained :) Most zeropoint/fixturing Systems are overconstrained. I think we as a technical society made a bad left turn when we anotated "overconstrain" as bad - It is not, if used wisely. Erowa ITS is also highly overconstrained, but works absurdly well, because it leads to mechanical averaging (= everything deforms and bends and finds its happy place).
@stefan gotteswinter, You Need to get a hold of NYCCNC and let him know about the magnetic removable whole plugs.. and the whole thing about locating, he should be able to do that with his HUGE platens.
Morning Stefan. Listened to this while commuting today and plan to watch it later this evening :D .. On the topic, do you favor any lathe chuck brand aside from expensive Röhm or Bison ones? Is Zentra worth the hassle?
Bison is great, Röhm and Forkard are nice too. But for me Zentra is a great compromise - Both my 6 jaw and the 3 Jaw for the lathe are Zentra Adjustable chucks.
Is their a way to lubricate the spindels bearings on the Deckel. What I have heard these are very expensive. I'm looking for the same machine because of it's footprint.
13:22, because you are now using a pure oil coolant system, wasn't cleaning up all that wood fibre a real pain? I often see you resort to wood. Do you have a specific way of dealing with this efficiently?

The same cutting oil I run in my machines - I found it helps greatly when cutting certain plastics.
Dont use WD on PVC, polycarbonate or acrylic. Its light naphta based damages plastic in long run.
