Looks a bit like a Bunyip boiler .what istje capacity ? Nice job

@inmyshedwithbc. Your audio really good at the start and did change at when you changed camera angles, however overall good.

The solar fan noise isn’t too bad actually. Have a good one, looking forward to seeing what you get up up to next year.

Merry Christmas Bernie.

Hey Bernie, @ 3:24 commonly known as Fox Wedges.

I have an Astra Elite AR5-E and so far it has been fantastic. It is definitely a lot quieter than that though. I made some extra arbors, but i wish i had more factory ones. I am also missing the drill grinder attachment from it, but I'm in the process of making one to replace it. Thank you, excellent content as always. Happy holidays.

G'day Bernie,, still hard to hear with the machine going. have a good one and enjoy the shed!👍👍👍👍👍

Whishing you and yours a great Christmas Bernie.

Hi Bernie, you know I rebuild High Speed Spindles, I'll strip it and rebuild it for you if you want.

Back again. This video was made with the shotgun mic for convienance and I should have stated that. Maybe that caused the Clarkson to still seem loud. to me the sound is down by at least 50%. The Rong Fu grinder had the same result. It's shaft was shitty soft as well.

I've got tons of E-312-16 all purpose alloy rods...SO DON"T PUT ME IN THE DRAW...but would like to comment that I cringe when I seen people welding "mystery steels, high carbon alloy steels tool steels " with standard MILD STEEL rods with Stick, Mig, or Tig. They should AT LEAST PRE-HEAT to cut the chance of cracking.The welds are cracking underbead and they don't know it and will "HOLD" untill full force loads hit them and WILL fail. As a welder with over 50 years exp.. Very generous of you to offer up a subscriber gift.

Have a great Christmas BC. The content of the channel is great and I'm sure you'll sort the sound out, maybe it will have to be with noise cancelling soft ware. I can confirm the spindle on my early Clarkson is also soft, as I'm in Wales UK it wasn't just for the Colonials 😀😀😀.

It may be a shop-made replacement shaft, especially likely if the machine really was built from parts of more than one machine.

Very nice setup.

Having concluded from hearing your Clarkson run in the past that the noise was normal! Mine has new bearings, just as noisy. I have a "C" spanner hole in the shaft, which I use, no "stilson" marks and I haven't tested for hardness. Mine is a MK I Clarkson, I added a double pulley arrangement to give 4000 and 6000 RPM, the only significant difference from the MK II.

Agree with commenters on audio - you sound a little distorted to me. The lack of hardness on the Clarkson shaft does seem odd, will be interesting to see if other owner confirm the same finding.

BC, sorry to say, but when the machines were running, it was just about impossible to actually tell what you were saying. Constructive feedback I hope.

Hi Bernie, The audio is a step backwards from your audio test video, it sounds like the audio is over boosted and the Clarkson noise is still high pitched and hard to listen to. It's hard to tell with the lighting if you are wearing the new mike but whatever, the last video's audio was clearer. My Herless T&C grinder also has had a kiss from the Stillsons, also right next to the spanner flats, , it must be the approved technique and we are doing it wrong.

Hi Bernie, The mike works well, of course the Clarkson is a problem but the audio is marginally better in my opinion. Still that bearing noise does cut through. You might have to go to voice over when using it. You won't get much sympathy for your machine dilemma. It's a problem many of us would love to have. I look forward to seeing what and why you decide to do about it. Cheers.

Clarkson could be a problem.

Hi BC audio seems fine, can definitely hear the knackererd bearings on the Clarkson? It’s clear you like the TOS and I guess that’s a rarer machine than the Cinci, I ‘d restore the Cinci though as for me electrics would be easier for me to do that adapting it’s parts to the TOS.

Здравствуйте, я из России. Являюсь обладателем похожего заточного станка от Итальянской компании Tacchella Macchine type AC/25, в интернете найти информацию по нему не смог, и тут попалось Ваше видео. Большое спасибо буду осваивать.

👍👍👍👍😉😉😉😉

13Cents, don't spend it all at once! Well 312 rods, so useful and versatile cast iron, dissimilar metals and............ stainless steel!! Cheers mate!

Well done BC, Merry Christmas to you too. Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year too.

@inmyshedwithb. Congratulations on being a partner and I hope you get some value out of it, I think I might be at that stage myself but not done anything about it, nice give away, I am sure they will find a good home, keep up the good work.

G'day Bernie, Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you and yours. If you don't get those jobs done before you retire you have Buckley's of getting them done after. It's true, you will wonder how you ever found time to go to work. Cheers

That sounds better Bernie.

bc your getting to the great

Just subscribed. I'm getting to know my (old) MK1 Clarkson T&C grinder so this channel will be really helpful. I look forward to your future videos. So much to learn....

Hi again. Temu has these wheels listed cheap again. $37.41.

Hey Bernie, I know they are very hard old school good quality taps, that's why they are worthwhile resharpening. Especially after recently buying brand new 3/4" NPT Sutton Tap that didn't even do two holes. Thanks for doing those for my Bernie, maybe next year I'll set up my Stankoimport T&C.

Very well presented BC, as usual.

I would save that wheel for really hard materials…..it’s a waste to use it where an ordinary wheel will do the job.

NEVER buy Chinese if an alternative exists.

Always a good video, Thanks Mate.

Another very interesting video, thanks mate.

Another very interesting video, thanks BC

Great gauge. Yeah never seen it before. Nice work sir

Hi BC could you cut a taller height gauge down?

I use the shaper gage on the T&C grinder, the surface grinder, the shaper, the horizontal mill and on the surface plate. indespncpiple tool and wonderful video.

Bring us in a bit closer!!!

G'day Bernie. Thanks for taking us to school again. I appreiciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Merry Christmast mate. Regards, Aaron.

That's a great little pick up Brenie. Nice one mate. Aaron.

Let me know if you want to sell your borer. Cheers

bc thank you for all the info you give us

Thanks. Very informative video.

Now that was a bargin.

Bernie, you could have had my A3 Board.

Interesting as always, thank you.
