i know this video is old i am hoping you will be posting again hope everthing is okay

Looking at buying a 1966 Okuma LS. I dont think it is in vary good condition, not seen it in person yet. Super cheap price though. I have to be ready to do all test possible when I go see it. Most worried about the ways being worn. Does look like the ways where greased when the lathe was decommissioned though in pics...?? Some one cared enough to do that?, I can not asses bed condition in pics due to all the grease. Not a spec of rust it seams. Will it be worth it.... even at the low price? Seller is not machinist and wants it gone from his shop. it is listed at what I think is about equivalent to scrap price. Not under power. Be another 1-1/2 weeks before I can inspect it on site. Might be the deal of a life time or might be a lump of scrap iron. I did find a guy who owned a machine shop and did a video on buying one and then using the tail stock mount to build a grinding jig then regrinding the ways that way and it turned out well. Tail stock ways are usually not worn like bed ways. Don't want to buy it then work on it for 10 yrs before It can make good parts, I'm 66, don't have that much time to mess around. Might just be worth it to find one for 10k that is in super good condition and buy that instead.

Awesome job on the frame updates and incorporating the stand into the frame update. I don't have the space you have and have casters on the stand so I can move it about. Looks as if I am going to come with version 4 to get a stable stand I will be happy with.

Nice job

What gas are you using....?

Excelente trabajo.

Dear, excellent video. I have a question. Does the oil need to go out on the 2 tubes? Mine isn’t working and it spills oil everywhere.

Very nice. Well done

Great repair. I recently watched a guy try to baton some wood with a knife like this (stick tang) and it went about as well as you might think, the look on his face as the blade broke off in a chunk of wood while he was left with the handle in his hand was both tragic and funny.

Хорошая проделана работа!!

Big video dropping soon on the one year anniversary of being away Bart? You know you want to..

Great craftsmanship. Really simple upgrades that take it to the next level

I have the same lathe and i was threading a large shaft and the half nut he wouldn't release which caused the tool to crash. i can see the nut engage the lead screw, and i can see the screw turning, but the apron won't move. Seems to me the half nut must be damaged, but i can't see any broken parts. Any thoughts??

Hey, I have just bought an old LS 450 and was wondering if anyone here might have the English version of the manual. The machine has a Japanese manual

That doesn't look like their Bushcraft knife. Is it a different model maybe?

Greetings have you got plans for yr pipe roller or did u buy it please??

Отличная работа, осталось установитт мотор и пидаль управления приводои.👍

I am facing problem hydrolic in Jones shipman grinding machine model 1052.

Hi sir

Fantástico! Parabéns. Obrigado pelas dicas.

Very nice shaper machine. I’m jealous.

Mooi gemaakt kerel

Workmanship is superb!!

Thanks

How to repair the table in and out and replace the thread bush please

Terrible camera work , can’t see a darn thing.

Hi Bart, I appreciate the quality work. People think I go overboard doing things like that. Mine is older than yours but it has some different features. The compound is slotted and has an Aloris quick change and the cross slide has an extended area about 4” to the back? I converted mine to a VFD drive and did away with the relays. I am wondering if you found a rubber for that oil plunger. What did you use to clean the apron? I don’t do work for others I use mine to make parts for my tractor restorations. Many old parts are not available. Another thing is mine has a cam lock chuck mount, don’t know if it was ordered that way or someone changed it.

I've seen a few of these recently, and it looks to be a quality machine, yours included, at least the mechanics of the machine seem to be in good condition. I did see one with the extra heads, especially one that had both fast and slow hand feeding on it. Nice find, despite the tooling issues, and you can always get more of those.

Merci pour le partage de se bon travail ainsi que les explications ❤❤❤

Todo es super perfecto! La rueda más preciosa y útil que vi! Felicitaciones!

Hi, it an amazing build, I'm surprised you didnt build all the parts for the motor too 😊. How much pressure did you have on the belt? I'm using a spring to hold tension on the one I'm building?

Hey great video, saw your other pullmax video about the vibration and was wondering if you changed or fixed anything? The pullmax looks to be running smoother in this video. I have a P7 and it vibrates just like yours. Any info would be great! Thanks Mark.

Nice work friend, do you have a video with changing the Schaublin 102 VM Spindle bearings?

I came back to this for reference on apron and cross slide. Thank you!

WHERE CAN i GET A COPY OF THE MANUALS FOR THIS EXACT LATHE

Sorry to say, I think a more practical use of time would be to design and build from scratch. Leave the Chinese junk in China.

Masterpiece crafting .

That's a brilliant bit of gear

Nice work

Brother I don't know how you could improve it other than putting a motor on it. You do great work and I really like the work table you built for it. Agen great job.

great work, beautiful lathe

Sehr Gut!

Enjoyed the making of the solid tool post. Liked and Subscribed.👍👍

Hello, thank you for this really informative 😊 just for my knowledge, instead of welding it, couldn't you just heat it up using the tig torch and let it cool down? That way you won't have to turn the weld down everytime. Thanks 😊

beautyfull

Very nice machine.

Hi Bart, I have the same machine here in Australia that I’m currently restoring. Mine is missing the cross slide and compound slide lock levers. I see you play with it quickly in your video but I’m unsure of how they’re meant to function. If you can help me describe them and the function or pull one out and send me some photos please reach out!

Any idea how to decode the serial number?

Hi Bart, heb je normale euro95 gebruikt?

My Cincinnati lathe has the same convention regarding the sliding and facing power feeds. I can change direction of the leadscrew without stopping the spindle (at reasonably slow speeds) via a dog clutch on the threading gear box.
