No music. Great documentation....

Haven't seen a bridgeport taken apart before. Quite interesting....

Really cool video. I am a retired 67 year old machinist, who has spent my entire life around machining parts for various applications. I was amazed to see the Kearney Trecker mill, the same one my dad had in hi shop, which I ran nearly 50 years ago. Cool video and project, thanks for sharing. Paul, USA!!!

Those precision levels are designed to drive you mad if you strive for perfection! Don't know what you did with that hard stock, but I chuck any material like that in my woodburner for a couple of nights. Gets it nice and red and cools slowly, all for free!

Great tutorial on how to calibrate the level. I have done it before but your documentation is fantastic. Thanks

A level machine is a happy machine

Great job Mr mule.

When I made the pucks for my machines out of some scrap 90mm hydraulic rod chrome bar, I machined an undercut for the screw legs to locate into. It really helped to keep the pucks in position when I adjusted the heights of the legs. I ended up drilling a starter hole with a 25mm drill, just the point, and then opening it up with the boring bar.

I like the level calibration process, Greg! Some old-time machinist know how….

Looks pert near good to me!

Nice work. You'll enjoy it. Then, another place for parts to roll under.😊

Excellent work 👌🏻

I would call that a win. Plus, you created a nice spot under the machine to hide some swarf :)

I can understand "stable" but... what is achieved by "level"? unless you use level at two ends to see if it is twisted?

Perhaps a jam nut under the adjuster nut? Belt and suspenders...

1st. Keep up the great work.

Good upgrade especially since it is a H/V table. Do you have a tailstock for it or is that something you are on the look out for?

I will be refurbing my troyke rt in the near future..this was a great tutorial. thanks.

You have done an awesome restoration series on this drill press. I recently acquired the same model unit and am doing a more modest restoration in my home garage. My motor is identified with the Dunlop brand, and also labeled Sears Roebuck & co. on the same nameplate. I feel very fortunate to have found these videos, they are of great assistance to me in my restoration of my drill press.

That came out nice! I tend to fit the largest accessories I can onto my mill, so 9" is good! Just one thing that would bug me, that wobbly handwheel. Not that its a problem really, but its not right!!!

A2 Steel?? Why? Air hardening! It's getting harder while you're trying to cut it.

I just stumbled onto this video. I'm just starting a restoration of the same unit but without the tilting table. Thanks so much for your documentation of this process, it will be very helpful to me.

Did you use the 110 adapter or the 220?

No project is bonafide without a sacrifice of blood.

Hey I've got one of these in the garage, NOTE TO SELF, DO NOT TAKE APART, JUST ADD OIL.

Rube Goldberg Machine.

You need to invest a a nice little caged puller! Cool little project!!

👍😎👍

I have the phase2 rotary table from the shop fire I need to repair. I believe I will have to try and find/order a new degree wheel as the markings were Burnt off in spots. It was unfortunately painted or coated markings on that particular wheel😑

So no more Android tablets Thanks for the video

Hey Greg did you ever sell the other one you pick up . Looks like you can see some meat in the hole of your glove. JM

Bigger is better....lol good looking rotory...

Nice looking tool. Good quality is by the pound.

Wow, that’s a interesting. Well maybe over engineered design. Definitely good quality. I’m guessing it weighs about 100 pounds something like 11 pounds per inch Dang things are heavy. Very handy when you need them

Well, that sure is an over complicated design. Good thing that there is no wear or broken parts.

I have a clone of this table with one notable difference - on mine when the hand wheel is turned CW the table goes CW, a very handy feature.

Didn't know about that trick with reversing the jaw on a vise. Glad i watched, although with sound off. Wondering why this wasn't faced on a lathe though. You can do that with a faceplate, double sided tape and a live center.

I have one or more of every Pi , except a 5, but ill get one of those too eventually. lol I also had this idea so Im glad to see all the needed parts already exist. Thanks for the video.

Was gonna say, "shorten your arc length," with the 7018 but you addressed it. Ride that bitch. They call them (7018) contact rods. Drag it and it's travel speed is damn near dictated by the deposition/rod consumption rate. Light contact and steady travel speed and slag just self peels.

I have a 1906 Rahn Carpenter 5-Step Cone Lathe. I thought that it had a threaded nose spindle of 2-1/8” - 8TPI but now hearing that 2-1/4” - 8TPI is a common size on other lathes I’m seeming to recall that the peaks of the threads were often flattened which would explain why measuring with calipers I would be 1/8” short if roughly 1/16” was missing from the peaks on either end. This video caught my attention because I happened to have restored the exact same old style Buck chuck (but in 8”) but it ended up saving me from making an amateur mistake when I go to cut my own backplate. I had assumed due to its age it might have a unique spindle nose. Threads really should be measured using the correct method or tool, caliper are good for getting you in the ballpark.

Lets hope the new owner doesn't grind the jaws smooth after all the work you did to "knurl" them 🙄

Is this the system that Jeremy Makes Things was trialling? Great to see more details and the build up, thanks!

Would be nice if welder reviewer would measure the actual current at 110 and 220 to see if we're getting what we pay for

Guessing the 10" could be used also?

Do you even DYI, DRO??

Thanks 👍

Cool! So good that it's all open source. Regards, Preso

Don't you just love using a DRO on the mill. It was the best investment I made with my machine. I put a Ditron D80 on Herless combination milling machine. Cheers, Aaron.

Lots of capability in that pi box! Looking forward!!

Interesting software/hardware project 👍I might shout my manual Lathe a DRO for Christmas because I am really over change gears 😁
