Brake Cup & Cone

[@richardfrisbie6069]

In my opinion, Monarch made some of the highest quality lathes ever, and you would make them proud to call you one of them.

[@bobhudson6659]

I am also amazed at the folk who designed this over 80 years ago, without CAD and CAM. All manual, then a lot of testing.. Theory is great but testing is essential to iron out any glitches. Now Keith shows great ingenuity to recreate all these bits using unconventional (to us) machining methods. Have learnt a lot from this and his previous videos, over at least 10 years. Self taught machinist in Land Down Under.

MMGA, Making Machine tools Great Again! I can't wait to see Pearl making chips.

[@MadMotorDoc]

An accomplishment to be proud of !! Great to see you problem solving again.

[@seephor]

Beautiful work Keith. I can see that feeling of satisfaction on your face. I know that feeling when you've planned it out for weeks or months and it finally all comes together perfectly. Nothing like that feeling of accomplishment.

[@CAPTAINHOOK-s7l]

AS ALWAYS KEITH IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE BEING WITH YOU .

[@bcbloc02]

Too late now but a checkerboard or xxx type pattern has been found to be probably the best for wet clutches and brakes. It prevents irregular wear like the grooves in the original hub while also allowing space for the oil to go on application and free flow back to lube the surface on release.

[@KeithFenner]

Okay I'll leave a sealed note inside the gearbox for the next owner! LOL

[@bcbloc02]

@ help that next guy out for a hundred years from now. 😂

[@PhilG999]

Nothing like the satisfaction of making a part that's better than the original!

Sure is great seeing your smile for American Machinery becoming !00 percent again! Fantastic series of videos getting it done!

[@peteengard9966]

The K&T lathe/mill is working out brilliantly. Nice job Keith.

[@grntitan1]

Wouldn’t be a Keith Fenner video without some Sharpum. 😊

[@ironworkerfxr7105]

Keath. Great work as always.. question how is it adjusted or is this why the space at the back, so it has forward room to move in ?

[@KeithFenner]

I will be getting into that because it all ties into the external clutch adjustment also.

[@ironworkerfxr7105]

@@KeithFenner thank you, I see I am not the only one wondering. Your doing a fantastic job , lol even the cnc guys scratch their heads....

Keith, you are having so much fun. It's infectious!

[@ssrengineering2280]

Good to see your back at the videos Keith, remeber these was used as a cone clutch never came across it since. Cheers

[@johnlee8231]

Satisfying result. One step closer.

[@rogerv1405]

Measure twice and cut once….saved my butt many times double checking things when it didn’t look right.

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@adithmart]

Great work Keith.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Keith, would there be a benefit to balancing all of the rotating parts to reduce the chance any possible vibration being induced into the operation? Maybe the intended application does not warrant that degree of precision. But watching the care you are taking, it makes wonder if it is worth the effort. Love the versatility of the K&T universal. Thanks for sharing.

[@KeithFenner]

The big clutch on the outside of the gearbox has been ballanced back in the day and that has weight pull over the differences of keyways and what not on the input shaft.

[@willemvantsant5105]

Good oil soaking before assembly, don't want to tear up all that work!

[@Ron-k8e7f]

good job Keith can't wait to see it running again

[@ohhpaul7364]

It has been a joy to watch this, Keith.

[@Paul-FrancisB]

Lovely match pair cone and taper, that brake material looks like it machines really nicely and I guess it makes sense being a 7 degree taper as that's very similar to the camlock on my Harrison at 7 1/4 degrees.

[@richardsweet7452]

Great work Kieth. Looks better than new.

[@jodyvanliew2514]

Fantastic job as always Keith !!!

[@patrickmazzone9066]

Excellent job a lot of precision tips in this video learned a lot looks good and functions good as well

[@scottjones7279]

Measure twice cut once😊

[@gwharton68]

I am the same age as that machine. Sure wish I was as good a shape and easy to repair.

[@nickd5943]

From the start of this episode I’ve tried to wrap my mind around this break system. “ To me” shove a cone inside a cone, check that works. Friction material in an oil bath system, yep that works too just like in an automatic transmission. Unfiltered oil is my hang up. As the shoe and drum ware the debris has to go somewhere and will stay in suspension until the machine is off for a while ( several hours or even days). Is the volume so small that it a non issue? What is or was the thinking behind not filtering the oil? By the way I’ve enjoyed watching you build this break system. Thanks

[@Paul-FrancisB]

Its no different to the clutch on the primary of an old motorbike (of a similar era), that's why you use a gear oil without detergents in it (and not ATF which is full of detergents) so the rubbish can settle out at the bottom of the casing

[@bcbloc02]

The next series of Monarchs had oil filters on the pressure lube to the headstock. They were just developing oils at this time, much less filtration. In practice its literally thousands of hours of operation for it to damage things so it is not ideal but also not an issue.

[@ÁREAJ27]

Olá amigo Keith que maravilha de trabalho ficou perfeito como sempre!!! Boa sorte sempre!!!

[@bruceanderson9461]

What a nice result! Why not measure across the original oil groves bottom to determine how deep to cut the new groves. The original groves bottom dimension should not have changed?

[@KeithFenner]

What I did is figure the amount of travel for the taper to bottom out and made sure the groves were deep enough to still be effective.

[@TgWags69]

I must've missed the reason, but why are you doing this job in the mill instead of the lathe?

[@TgWags69]

Nvm... saw your reply below.

[@highpwr]

Making it better than it was before. Now that's a plan I can get behind. 😉

[@buckinthetree1233]

Im curious if the really nice surface finish you gave the cone will cause it to glaze over early in its life cycle, reducing its efficiency. I suppose the oil prevents that from happening. It's also important to have the correct brake material for oil bath applications.

[@jimmyboles3409]

I really enjoyed the video and thanks as always really enjoy watching the 2 hl run and do it’s job can’t wait until I can use mine Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills that you spent your life in learning!

Great work! Enjoyed.

[@robertabel7776]

What is up with the jerky/ stick slip start on the K&T X travel? Is something worn out there?

[@KeithFenner]

No I was shifting it in and out of gear, becuse I was looking at the amountt of depth and the way it was lifting the material on the cut side of the bit, had my atention.

[@scottjones7279]

Why did you use your K&T instead of your lathe?

[@KeithFenner]

I have started packing up the Rutland lathe for the "give-a-way" aready and the Clausing lathe, even after regrinding the 66 year old three jaw does not give me what I strive for in the acuracy. The Three jaw attachment I made for the K&T back about 10 years ago, pulls though with accuracy and matching angle cuts with auto feed, in one set up.

[@scottjones7279]

@@KeithFenner you and i are the same age, I have a 25 year old, with 100 hours, Enco mill and a 60 year old, Clausing that I have owned for 35 years. I have been watching you for over 10 years and when I retire i am going to start practicing machining

[@jimfelton1]

I'm not a machinist but enjoy watching and learning from your videos. It seems that most of the work you did could have been done on a lathe. Why did you use the mill to do the work?

Can someone bring me up to speed as to why we are using the K&T as an ad hoc lathe?

[@DavidWilliams-rn6uq]

Power feed to cut this taper. Doing on the Clausing would require feeding the compound in by hand. …not to mention the “just because I can” factor! Dare to do something different in your machine setup.
