Lathe Spindle Pulley Repair

[@havenisse2009]

Its just so positive to hear an American say "great stuff" about things made outside USA. Too many American youtubers keep repeating "American made", as if that would be a quality by itself.

[@PhilG999]

I've spent over 40 years in the machine industry (as I've said before). Eyes and ears and hands are everything. Along with a brain that can process it all at once! And having "the touch" (as I'm told I do) is something you can't explain! 😁

[@1LEgGOdt]

So you're basically saying that machinery can be fixed or repaired if something goes wrong, but your body can't. Is that it?

[@ellieprice363]

@@1LEgGOdt No, I think he’s saying that eyes and ears and brain all working together create what is commonly known as the “magic touch”.

[@dieSpinnt]

@@ellieprice363 Nah, that is possibly just a mind polluted with a lifetime of abusive religious indoctrinations trying to say that he has expertise[1] ... which is really fine. We need such people who can do things. Correct is that eyes and hands and "everything" is nothing worth without appropriate measuring devices and the knowledge how to use them all together (In fact eyes and hands and all skills that our brain provides "out of the box" are the worst possible set when it comes to technical accurate tasks. That is WHY special devices exist to HELP us. Believing(!!!) otherwise is just a very strange thing, as "believe" wont keep tolerances. Only reality and (material-)physics will do so.). He may be a good machinist but also a bad communicator or teacher at the same time (which isn't unusual or something bad ... totally different skills are needed). This also explains the use of that vague language like ""the touch" and "something you can't explain!", which actually means something HE can't explain (either by the lack of skill or the lack of words ... or to keep it a myth, to ride the narrative). Also: every profession has tendencies for myth-making, trade secrets and internal jokes. There is nothing wrong with it and that is also were we come back full circle: We are humans, and thanks to people like Adam and Phil, we are not that boring like a box of measuring tools;) [1] read further: or it is just FUN ... some kind of:) "commonly known as the “magic touch”" ... the whole point of something magic, or magic itself is that it is NOT commonly known, only to a elite circle and surrounded by myths and marvel that themselves create admiration in the "uninitiated". In other words: Made up fibs and other fairy tales:) You have to know the MEANING of the words when you use them ... Also it would make no logical sense, because magic demonstrably doesn't exist, but only as illusion, and you can learn the mentioned skills of those trades in schools and from other people. This is done frequently to the millions all over the world, even other hominids do it (demonstrably!) and is in no way magical or for an elite circle of people. What we have to admit is that vague terminology like “magic touch” can mean everything and nothing and additionally for every different person something they think they "know" ... and for the next one: the exact opposite:))) So it is really useless when describing something to another person, besides you want to confuse them (with the ... I don't imply this!!! ... very very very unlikely possibility that the reason for the use of "magic" or the-like vagueness is that the speaker/writer is confused himself, hehehe). Problems: There is that kind of people who are attracted to the unknown and therefore get interested and learn that trade. But others can't see so far and don't get even a grasp what it is about and that they are able to develop the skills for something such "divine" in the future. They are lost for the profession. My opinion is: Yeah, have your jokes and "pirate talk" (you landlubbers! Hehe) as long as especially kids and all people get in contact with the opportunity to learn such professions, f.e. in schools or at local institutions. We need experts and experts who teach their expertise to the next generations (I am not saying that they are not allowed to make fun, or have no right to be strange contemporaries ... that is just not their expertise, you get it?!). What is very tragic is that the profession, who really has expertise in myths and magic (like authors and script writers) has a big problem with exactly that knowledge transfer. That is in part a reason why there are only a few outstanding "magicians" with "the touch" to fascinate millions with their writings or screenplay. But that is a totally different story.

I've been watching since I was in auto tech school in 2017. An instructor showed us your videos to help demonstrate how to use all the dial calipers and indicators. I own my own shop now and I'll put these on the shop TV when we have down time so everyone can learn some skills. Now I watch for camera work tips and teaching techniques as I get ready to do content as well. Much love from Dallas, Texas. Semper Fi.

Adam probably asks himself: ' On a scale of 1 to 10, how good will this job be for the channel' before he decides to take it on or not. I wonder if he also has a scale for ' Could this be the customer from hell?', though I suppose if you were a Patreon, it might help.

[@advil000]

It was beautiful work that would not be affordable to have done without it being good for KZbin. The bushing work by itself MAYBE if the rest of the machine was a peach, but the spray weld repair AND the bushing? You'd be wondering why you aren't replacing the machine. Or ordering/having made a new spindle shaft. As he said at the end "A good repair and provide some content to the channel." Nice to see frankly. Even if the customer paid pretty solidly for the work, still worth every penny.

Abom - For the chip deflector you might want to consider taking a leaf from Sandblaster supplies? They use a very thin plastic sheet expecting it to be sacrificial - you could use them with a few bulldog paperclips to hold them to the deflector - Means you have a consumable that you can replace whenever you want to refresh your vision

[@CatNolara]

What would speak against using a piece of actual glass? I know, if something goes wrong you get a lot of shards, but it won't scratch much. Maybe this safety glass that doesn't break into sharp shards but tiny cubelike pieces? Or another idea: put a screen protector for tablets on that plastic, so you can easily swap it out if needed. Those are pretty scratch resistant too I think, might be worth a shot, there's propably one out there in the right size.

[@ioerrorle]

@@CatNolara Glass is not suitable because it will scratch, and all of little glass pieces will imbue lathe guides and wear them down a lot faster

[@bengrogan9710]

@@CatNolara The issue with "Safety glass" is that it's under strain - due to that 1 sharp chip impact can lead to it actually shattering easier in some cases than normal glass that would just chip and be otherwise fine - Plastics on the other hand are maleable and give when impacted far better than glass Tablet screen protector is essentially the same idea as my suggestion - the reason I'd bias towards the sand blaster supply is you can talk to a supplier and get a hundred or so cut for pennies on the dollar to whatever size you want

[@RyanDoesAll]

I was going to suggest this, thought the same but wonder how expensive replacements are. Is it worth it?

[@bengrogan9710]

@@RyanDoesAll Personal decision on that point - As mentioned you should be able to get them for a few cents per sheet - They're a weekly consumable for a sandblaster that is there to protect the actual glass behind it

[@artyseibert]

I really appreciate the fact that you did not flip the pulley around to work the backside. That was some good content - showcasing the complexity of working in opposite directions from inside the chuck!

[@randyshoquist7726]

Very similar to my Jet 1024. I had exactly the same problem, and have learned that it's common in this class of Taiwan lathes. I did pretty much the same repair. I didn't flame spray the spindle (didn't even know about it) but just polished it as best I could. Then I bored out the pulley cone, pressed in a long oilite bushing (oilite seemed like a good idea, though two plain bronze bushings with an oil reservoir between may have been as good or better) and bored the bushing to fit. I made an oil groove lined up with the oil port, just short of the ends of the bushing. It's a straight groove, not ideal, but I didn't know how to do a spiral groove. That largely fixed the problem, but I didn't give it enough clearance, and it would still seize up after 20 minutes in back gear. After 30 years of tolerating it, and just before retiring and losing access to a lathe at work, I bored another thousandth out of the bushing, and now it never seizes. I don't remember how much clearance I ultimately settled on, but it's probably 2 or 3 thou. I hope you left adequate clearance, .0008 doesn't leave much room for an oil film, or allow for spindle expansion. These spindles get pretty warm, I believe due to bearing seal friction. You did an excellent job, but I'm afraid you're not done. As for your chip shield, replacing the "window" periodically should be cheap. I got a couple of pieces of Makrolon out of the remnant bin at Tap Plastics, and they didn't even charge me.

[@richardjones-sl2zd]

His target was a half thou. Not sure if he explained that, as I might have missed it. Googling the clearance for engine main bearings gives a general rule of one thou per inch journal diameter, so for this case might? imply 2 thou.

[@randyshoquist7726]

@@richardjones-sl2zd Plus, the temperature inside an engine, while fairly high, is probably fairly uniform. The problem I found is that the spindle heats up more, and quicker than the pulley cone. Whatever oil gap you have when cold shrinks as the spindle heats up. I had to take two runs at the problem, and wound up with a somewhat loose cold clearance to avoid seizing when hot.

Another great video as always... Keep on making more. A poster mentioned this repair was a lot of time and effort to do for someone you never met. Well, I think I could speak for most machinist's is that your work is all about the "exactness" of the project that keeps you going. Heck, maybe 5, 6-7 years ago I watched you make a hinged support for something bolted to a machine and everything had a chamfer and the pin to hinge was a couple thousands. Was definitely overkill, but I understood the passion of "exactness" Subscribed & liked from then.

[@drive42]

What a coincidence! I have been building bronze (932) bushings for John Deere sprayer booms. For turning the ID of the bushing I put some 2" blue painters tape sticking out 1.75" past the end of the bushing stock. This deflects the chips toward the back of the lathe rather than spraying out radially. Since I turn the bushing ID first, I stole an idea from youtuber Joe Pie and made a mandrel with a rubber packing gland, so I can turn the OD to size. I cut a notch in an old plastic protective lens from a welding helmet that just fits over the cutting tool in a quick change tool post to deflect the chips downward away from me. I appreciate your comments on using manual lathes in a job shop setting. That is what I do 99% of the time. My lathe is a Fitchburg made in 1898 with a National 4 jaw chuck.

Great video, always producing good content. For people with this stile of back gear the reason it galls up is, because people forget to lubricate the center. The reason for the center clearance is for an oil/grease reservoir.
