I'm not on patreon, but I wonder if your patreons would like the scrapped bolt as a giveaway, you could even sign it! 😅

I find that cleaning, repairing, tuning and modding stuff like that to be very gratifying.

I was interested in the printer but when I click the link you provided, my firewall refused to allow connection to shareasale. That must be redirecting through an ad tracking site.

Very nice video. Interesting. Nice work.

Good ole Bauhaus.

Interesting to finally see how the variator works, I'm familiar with the torque converters on snowmobiles (centrifical) ,the variators on bridgeport machines (spring +thrust bearing) first time i've seen this setup with the floating center sheave that works with the weight of the motor and the 2 belts . very simple.

The band saw keeps giving.

Generally you should avoid using any solvent on the old phenolic/bakelite composite, some hot water and detergent is a good enough cleaner. It is amazing how much care and thought they out into these old machines, compared to modern junk made on a low budget and even lower care factor. I think that loss of pride in manufacturing has been a great loss to humanity. 😥

Nice work. Regards from Canada

FWIW, The vari-speed on my Hardinge has wider belts.

OK, you've done it now. You understand that we fully expect you to do a break-down video of your Throm-dim-bu-lator now, right?

I have the same bandsaw from 1956 without the replacement motor but it is missing the weight system. Thankfully mine only needed a thorough cleaning and proper sized belts so the motor didn't bounce against the bottom. With a little love, these saws are still fantastic after all these years.

I've been wondering how you feel about having both lathes? On the one hand, you spent 40 videos give or take building the chinese CNC lathe. I watched most of them. You also spent several videos cleaning the schaublin data tag. Are you holding onto the chinese lathe because you want to do "sketchy" work on it and not be worried if it gets dirty or damaged? Or is it your little pet lathe that you aren't willing to give up? I own 5 lathes, some run, some are projects, and one was my first lathe which I'll probably never sell. But you keep a lean shop and are much more productive than me. I thought you might consider making space for something else. A second question, how many times have you considered using your maho as a lathe as well? Biggest problem is lack of a tail stock when trying to turn something on the chuck of a CNC mill. Also spindle torque. Always enjoy the content. One day I hope you will motivate me enough to make content on my own equipment. Thanks

US motors are 1800/3600rpm 1725/3450 for 3 phase so that adds to the fun. Ok I need to go to Vienna to buy hardware by the Kilo. I pay about $3 or so per pound for SAE grade 8 hardware here and metric is higher. Something like that I'll take a pic next time I'm there. No fancy scale though it's weighed on a scale at the register like a grocery store... I wish the US would go to metric hardware and metric for cooking but leave the rest. I also need a supply of metric drill bits and taps as they are more expensive here than SAE even though we use both. My theory is the tool and hardware companies are behind not switching. Force us to buy two sets of tools and stock two ranges of hardware... :) My first choice in belts would be a rubber wrapped belt. A cloth wrapped belt would be too abrasive on those pulleys. All I could think when yo mentioned the air pump was Spaceballs.

I can't believe all the grease fittings on a 767! And I need to put my tools away like that too. Great work.....

time to take everything out of the shop and reorganize it so you can find that one little part... I'll just start on that tomorrow.

3M Super 33 spray adhesive. Spray it on both surfaces, let it get tacky, then bond them together. That stuff is amazing.

Just recently discovered your channel. I don't know how it's passed me by for so long, but it does mean there's a good back catalogue to catch up on. Love the content, though not the music - I just prefer to hear the tool and background noises. Great stuff, and thanks for sharing!

Hornbach sells UNC bolts in germany…

I hate it when there's visible grease through my bunghole

great repair!

Hi, ever worked on a l1011 tristar? You couldnt believe how many greasing points where there on the wings, looked like mushrooms😅😂

Hello Mark, Stefan here, I bought band from a shop here in Sweden that was made from cork, and I must say it works very well, just cut the right length, glue with contact glue and hold it in place with a ratchet band? The thing you hold goods on the trailer with.🥹

Why do i have a feeling that that motor likes oil instead of grease? It doesn`t really look like a plain bearing(journal b.) setup, but that ball point intake talks oil, while the bottom hole speaks of grease preference... One expects two holes for grease(one for in and the other to force all the shit out of by forcing grease through the first hole) and only 1 for oil(being oil, all the shit and the oil are gonna run down your trouser leg... wait, i meant down the shaft... wait no, that is also fucked up... oh well, you get the point...)... That motor was assembled by a woman - i`m sure of it! There is no way that a normal man made motor can send out so many mixed signals without being wired by an Italian... It just makes no sense... Jokes aside, nice work! Glad to see the old girl getting back into shape... Maybe consider some acetal or similar soft-hard pads as ``damping`` ``bearing`` plates between the motor ``feet`` and the base where it sits... Just to soak up some vibration and make it all a tad smoother... Best regards! Steuss

Your electric motor was made ACEC, Charleroi, Belgium, but I suppose you already figured that out. And you're getting close to a fully operational machine now. That's good.

Maybe also think about a VFD as an future upgrade?

Fantastic content. Really got hooked on your channel.

Complicated saw. I’m just about getting ready to order a 17” metal/wood saw. Varying speeds these days with these saws are much simpler, mechanically. Three phase motor with a VFD. Button for high or low speed range

Cans of Brake clean are my go to for cleaning oil and grease of parts.

Definitely Belgian: Ateliers de Constructions Electriques de Charleroi. ACEC. They made motors and electrical switch gear also Eexd. Went down with the downfall of the heavy industry in Belgium I guess. The presence of the ACEC brand in this saw is not totally unexpected since it belonged to the Belgian army (ABL marking is the giveaway)

shes getting there....

Oh wow, I need one of those maintanance computers

26:28 Is a “G” Clamp somehow different from a “C” Clamp or are they just called different “in the land down under”? Honestly when I 1st heard ya I went back and listened to it again 2 more times just to make sure I wasn’t hearing things. I know I’ve been surprised before hearing things called differently so now that I think about it, maybe a G clamp might actually kinda make sense too if i consider the thread too …. 🫤 … 😑 … 🙂‍↔️ yeah probably not happening my brain is already set but I will remember to use the local jargon if Im in Australia w/ a pressing need to clamp something …. 😅 or is a “G” clamp actually something completely different and I’m just now only hearing it

Could it be a motor designed to be usted un 50hz instead of the 60hz the usa has?

This channel makes for a perfect Sunday treat! Will be getting a 3d printer through the channel soon! Cheers from Seattle!

The only thing that worried me was the oil around the variator pulleys. I imagine it wouldn't take much to get on the face for it to transfer to the belt and result in some slipping. Looks like you might have gotten a little on the face with the gloves, but it's hard to tell.

Casually buying fasteners by weight over there, like chook pellets at the feed store. That's a civilized way to do it, not 6 at a time in a plastic blister pack (when you only need four) for 20x the price. Another reason to move to Austria.

Hello Mark, I had confidence you’d get this sorted out. 👍 Somehow I completely missed seeing the two risers during the livestream; now, it’s obvious they didn’t belong. About squeeze-out of gasket compound: a lovely Cessna 206 crash landed in a neighboring cow pasture some years back, about 3 miles short of the hoped-for runway, due to power loss. It turned out that the crankcase mounted oil cooler had previously been opened up for maintenance, and was resealed on assembly with too much silicone RTV. There was quite a lot of squeeze-out inwards, where it couldn’t be seen, and a glob broke off and migrated to the crankshaft. It lodged in a crank throw and starved a connecting rod. The occupants survived with some injuries but the aircraft was a total loss.

put your second tip of the oilgun into the red cap, so you cant lose it again

I’m impressed that you resisted the urge to paint all those parts green. 😄

Looks a lot better 😀 I could use one of those fancy maintenance computers 🤣

Can you buy inch bolts where you live?

"Niggly"? Pretty bold there buddy, as I recall some politician was forced to resign over his use of "niggardly", some illiterate person of color thought it was racist, kinda ironic I guess. I don't know, maybe I misheard the word. PS Goodness I researched the incident and, WOW, there were a lot of them...

Hold on... Length of the belt should have nothing to do with ratio/speed. With of belt is other story, cos it will make a difference how deep on this conical pulley will it sit, and according to this will change ratio. Length will just change range of the speed, but on same settings speed should not change.

Took a look at the bambu link, currently no difference in pricing but that might be due to the current black friday offers? Do you know if you get a commission during black friday sales as well?

That is some good work and fixes that will reward you for years to come. Thanks for bringing us along!

good video RotarySMP

If the motor mount was in the middle hole the air pump may not be hitting the wall? With the correct length of upper belt I suspect you can add an additional stop nut for the highest speed and not have had to cut the threaded bar down?

Hello Mark, An enjoyable video, thank you... I like that you kept the tradition of polishing the nameplate on this project. Take care. Paul,,

tpu tires?
