I picked one up the other day for 200$. It's not as ruff as yours, it's been sitting in old shop for about 30 years. I gotta go thru it and clean up. Thanks for your time on making these videos.... oh,and i picked up a really nice craftsman metal lathe.... im working it first. For 150$ i couldn't turn it down

Nice job... i use brass when beating stuff apart and any time i take something apart that might be "indexed" or worn in i will mark with center punch so when i go back together, i just align dots.

The crossfeed screw bushing at 1:57 does not attach the same as the model without the taper attachment. That bushing is secured by a set screw in a groove.

Interesting concept build ! Very well executed.

“Mineral spirits” I put that S**t on everything.. 😆 An old friend turned me onto kerosene and automatic trans fluid for this line of work and I have not purchased a container of mineral spirits ever since. It’s about a 50/50 blend for that heavy surface rust like what you are battling. This is the first time I’ve came across your channel and I have to stop by and say hi 👋 Enjoyed the format and the content. The lathe is turning out great. 👍

You should never wear gloves while running a lathe of mill bub

That’s a oil fitting on the Spindle Bub. Grease will make the bearing run hot.

Dude I love your shop. I hope that one day I can afford to have an outbuilding/barn/separate garage that I can convert.

Just wondering what is the use for the curtain?

Thank you!

I know this work was done a long time ago but wouldn't a lot of the parts been better off if they were pre lubed with assembly grease?

Absolutely stunning. Love it!

Sad they seemed to just stop producing. I've emailed several times over the last 2 or 3 years and no response. Definitely seems like they stopped trading so I just missed out on purchasing a set.

Looking at buying one of these next week, I think your videos will be invaluable =)

EXCELLENT VIDEO - THANK YOU!

I found this video 5 years later, but no joke I’m buying a 25-100 soon that definitely needs some work but everything seems functional on it, for a whole 200$ or the guy said it’s going in the scrap bin 😂

Hey boss. Any thoughts on this tool post after 5yrs? You happy with it or what changes would you have made?

18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. Good to know your multiples of 9 with this tool. 40 positions out of 360 is 9 degrees for each position. I wish it was 5 degrees for each step.

Definitely a machinist

Careful using gloves around a turning spindle.

Super clean. Well done.

Did you use lube on seatpost? That will cause creaking no matter what post is used with out it. Nice looking setup there. What floor material did you use? Is it dove tailed or finger jointed? What was the reasoning/benefits of methodology?

I appreciate the sharing of information and lessons hard learned. Happy Milling Drying Creating!!!

Great video on the Rockwell 11 inch metal lathe .I’ve got the same lathe and I have a sloppy cross slide brass nut and cross slide bolt I have no idea of where I can get such parts .ls there anything that you can help me with I would really appreciate it I only have a CAT no. It’s FK102503 , No other numbers visible .

What type of paint did you use? Im getting ready to restore a rockwell lathe.

There was a very similar-looking lathe made in Boston with a similar name plate; "A.J. Wilkinson & Co."

Did you buy the seat from the Ford dealer?

This is instructive installation if you have a machine shop in your garage (and those skills). Can I pay you to install one in my gasoline sprinter?

Beautiful work!

The tail stock wrench for the rockwell/delta wood lathe fits on the metal lathe tail stock as well, still not widely available but there is a few on ebay at the moment.

Thank you for showing the pin wrench for the spindle collar, just got mine in today.

The end mill left a really nice pattern on the compound!...

What a beautiful job! This is great inspiration for the abused mill I just bought.

great information. i'm currently converting my 1940's wood lathe from a 12 speed belt drive to vfd

I use an original and have always wondered why they chose the odd angle increment of 9°

Great milling machine, exelent ribuilt!!

I watched this whole series on you restoring this machine and I enjoyed it so much I'm watching it again! I just can't believe you got that for $103!! Especially for a vertical/horizontal mill!! Thank you for making this great content my friend!...

How has this heater held up since your initial video? I am considering ordering but a bit nervous of the price , just wanting to make sure it’s a good one!

Do you discuss why you decided to not paint the entire lathe ?

Some attic

Pardon my ignorance, I’m no machinist. I see you using the same collet for milling and for drilling with the larger bits. What kind of collet is that?

Cá Lem is a wizard

Where do you get your surface conditioning angle grinder wheels? I'm having a hard time finding ones that big. Thanks!

I have enjoyed your videos on the Rockwell lathe. The lathe we had in high school was just like it; that was 1972. You do a good job with your videos and have a great shop!

what size of drive screw rivets did you use on the data plates?thx

I was able to interpret your exceptional video and install a power feed on my Rockwell mill. I am a relative newbie to machining. Prior to this project I hadn't: bored to a precise diameter; cut an interior keyway or even heard of a woodruff key. So, it was quite a journey, but I was so elated when I got the axis to move, I felt the need to thank you and express my appreciation for your fine work I deconstructed the limit switches. They are conventional NC momentary switches. I have some DRO stuff in the way, So I bought two panel-mountable momentary pushbutton switches and I'll design and build a housing that will work. Anyway thanks again for the inspiring video!

Very nice

Dear Sir, maybe I still not seen all your videos. I have question I see on your jaw lathe used proximity sensor. I want to know the purpose and can send me detail infor of control box including components used for it?Thank you your respond.

You think the floors on these would be universal with the passenger vans aka parts would bolt right in.

What type and size of rivets did you use on the data plate?im currently restoring almost the same type lathe,thx
