Thanks Joseph. I hope this trick or similar helps you somewhere down the line in the future when working on your tractors or running farm implements from them. Cheers Tony

Its just household paint, Crown Solo, one coat, Stuart. You can see the tin in the video on the table. I'd bought it previously to do my lathe drip tray. Check the photo out at the end or my videos. I have to make a proper backsplash for my current, lathe that will be painted white as well. My old Harrison L5 had a white drip tray and backsplash, it looked miles better, a lot brighter and cleaner, easier to see the part your working on as well. Tony

I like it - cheers and all the best!

@swanvalleymachineshop Cheers Max. Getting there. ATB.....Tony

Appreciated Stuart, thanks for your comment. Tony

@Warped65er Great. Thanks for your continued support. It was a bit of fun. It made my day though, knowing I didn't need to buy a pair or expensive tapered roller head bearings. Tony

Your spot on there Rob. Going to sort it out. Thanks for your old school ears letting me know. 😂😂 Top Man............Cheers Tony

Thank you Michelle, I appreciate your approval. Tony

Cheers Jez. Thanks for the feedback.

No if I remember correctly on the spindle bearings. They do sound a bit dry, as does the large drive pulley bearings at the back. I'm going to pump some grease into them and see if there is change in sound. The main drive motor is horizontal at the back of the machine with a wick feed oil reservoir cast into the top of the motor housing. I've often wondered where the oil is going? Motor bearings or the integral clutch assembly, moving parts etc. I don't have a maintenance manual for this machine unfortunately. Thanks Phil 👍

@ tony@lathes has manuals for some Archdales, but they eon’t be cheap! Phil

Thanks Phil. It was a brief brainwave that somehow flashed across my mind when I needed a shorter flat belt. I bet you could use this method as a stop gap to get you out of a hole if the belt suppliers are closed. Cheers Tony

Hi Kev. Never used the slow speed range all the time I've had the milling machine, 24 years. So it hasn't been a problem lol. Cheers Tony

@@improviseddiy It makes me try to work better. 👍👍

Almost new, lol... ...1950's lol

@CliffsShed Yes, grey would have been a lot darker and wouldn't have stood out again the other machines. Cheers Tony

Lol Howard. That's prehistoric that advert. Funny how I remember it though...... ;-) Cheers Tony

@hilltopmachineworks2131 Cheers Tom....👍

@CliffsShed Thanks for the laugh, Cliff. Fun and games, it's progressing nicely. It shouldn't be too long now. Cheers Tony

@@GardenTractorBoyGlad you like the table and the cleaning tip. Cheers Tony

@@HM-Projects Good point, never thought of it that way. Cheers Tony

Thank you Michelle.👍

Cheers, Phil. It's a lot better for filming. Makes a bit of a contrast. Tony

It cuts good enough for what I need it for. Thanks for the observation. Cheers Tony

Hi Paul. Makes the machine a bit more camera friendly when filming. I've got the bug back slightly, can't seem to shake it off. Thanks for your input. ATB......Tony

Thanks for watching.....Tony

Cheers Kev👍

Nice one. You'll have to post a video of it working. Cheers Tony

@GardenTractorBoy Yes, a bit brighter than the grey same as the shaper machine. Cheers Tony

@@hilltopmachineworks2131 Top man Tom. Brilliant. Yes. It will stand out between my lathe and shaper. I've got that on an outake but cut it out to keep the video shorter. Cheers Tony👍

@jennycooper3572 Thank you, Jenny👍......Tony

Get well soon.

@phantomsnaz86 hear hear, too right. That virus takes some shaking off. Thanks for that.......Tony

Thanks Phil. I'll give it a go. Cheers Tony

@RustyInventions-wz6ir Thanks, Rusty. Appreciated, top man👍 ATB....Tony

@KW-ei3pi Hi, thanks very much for watching. I'm not saying it is a Bridgeport, but I have bought a Bridgeport. ATB......Tony

@houseofbrokendobbsthings5537 I'll be looking out for them, cheers Dan. ATB....Tony

Great to hear. Good to know. Thanks for the info. ATB.....Tony

Thanks for your support Rustinox. Good to see you're battling on through your situation. Appreciate you are keeping us amused and yourself busy. ATB.....Tony

Thanks for sharing that important snippet of information Max. Will do. ATB....Tony

@dutchgray86 Thank you for your Input, very interesting. There is so much untapped knowledge out there. ATB......Tony

Is it? You've made my day lol. Have a good one yourself. Thank you........Tony

@RalfyCustoms Hiya Ralfy, it's great to hear from you. I hope you're doing well with your health situation. ATB......Tony

@StuartsShed Hi Stuart, it felt that way manoeuvring it to its current position. Whilst shuffling the other machines around it at the same time. It was like one of those kids puzzles with movable squares to make a picture, but using a five foot long crow bar. ATB........Tony

@GardenTractorBoy Thanks for the tip on the DRO, good to know. The milling machine is not a Bridgeport, there's a twist in the video. It's just a bit of fun. ATB......Tony

@HM-Projects I suppose it's what you're used to working, lol. Thanks for the interaction....ATB Tony

@hilltopmachineworks2131 For the amount of time I use it and the type of work I do. I may fit a cheaper magnetic one. It will be adequate for my level of precision. Cheers, Tom. ATB Tony

Hope so Kimber. Cheers Tony

HI Stevie. Yes it runs, had some fun and games though. Tony
