That lathe is in better shape then when it left the factory. Saying nice job is an understatement.

You underestimate how good job the Japanese precision machine manufacturers do

[@comictrio]

@@MF175mp It was a compliment and not a slam against the original manufacturer of the lathe.

[@VanoverCustoms]

This is not your typical “restoration.” Hand scrapping everything in. Absolutely next level. Then using your mill like a lathe because your lathe is apart. I love it. Watching your videos makes me want to be better.

[@justinstrik7125]

As a woodworker who just made a kitchen cabinet, I feel a bit like a toddler sticking leaves on a piece of paper compared to your artistic skills. Be proud be very proud.

[@stollifa]

The men who first developed and produced this machine would be pretty happy to see what amount of effort, work and love you put into this, finally most likely better then brand new. Congratulations!

[@JT-tz5hp]

This is astounding! I was thinking as I'm watching this, "this is the same guy that was making a welding table with modest tools in a modest shop not that long ago. And now I'm watching him expertly scrap a lathe back into perfection." You are an amazing fellow.

[@robertoscalogni5567]

100 % AGREE !!!

[@deanf7086]

Can someone please tell me about this scraping procedure. I must admit I’m totally ignorant on this process.

[@indigenous.rabbit2877]

@@deanf7086 essentially just making a part as flat as possible by comparing it to a known flat: the granite stone. As you can see he puts ink on the stone and moves the part back and forth over it so only the high spots get inkt on them, remove the high spots and repeat until the entire surface gets spots of ink on it and there are no large concentrations or high spots left.

[@toolsconsumables7055]

What an outstanding job at thoroughly renovating a complex piece of machinery & dare I suspect without any form of manual but merely instinct to go by. One wonders how many hours of labour went into this machine & more importantly what it's resale value must be after all this dedication. If ever there was a mechanical engineering certificate &/ diploma worth it's weight in gold; this surely must be one of them. You've truly excelled & gone beyond what mere engineers would dare to undertake such a task. Very well done once again. Kind regards.

[@soundmindtv2911]

I see so many of these “restoration” videos pop up where someone just scrapes off the rust, strips the paint, slathers on a new coat, and *voila* “restored.” It’s SOO nice to see someone post one where the machine actually was fully restored! Surface plate, ways scraped true, the full treatment, back to true precision. Very nice work!! It@/ also awesome because a Moriseiki lathe was the first rebuild project I actually got to be part of, assisting a true master who really knew what he was doing.

[@bobweiram6321]

Mori Seiko is just one example of how Japan quickly proved themselves to be true engineering masters

[@netoluna1]

Estimado amigo es la primera restauracion completa que he visto, no descuidaste ningun detalle ni de funcionamiento ni de estetica. Te aseguraste de mantener la precision dejando el torno mejor que nuevo. Tenes ahora un lujo de torno que todos nosotros quisieramos tener. Felicidades eres un maestro

[@TheBendixSA]

You honor the creators of the Moriseiki. Much respect to you.

the only Asian guy on KZbin that doesn't make me cringe restoring delicate equipment. perfect job, every time ❤️

[@philallen9650]

I was impressed when you built your own power scraper....I'm even more impressed now I have seen the results. Well done. You are a credit to the engineering community!

[@FirdausAzhar87]

can you tell me why the need to scrape?, why not just flat the slide using vertical lathe or whatever y'll call that thingy is since he have own one, more flat more accurate and lest friction at least that is how i see it

[@ayanomihiiro953]

@@FirdausAzhar87 no machine can archive the same perfection as a blued and scraped surface, even machines leave behind imperfection as a result of tool pressures, clamping forces etc and even if u manage to hold onto the part in a free state; the result will always be off since when machining metal u release stress in the metal even with cast that is super stable its still has to be scarped to get parallelism, flatness and squareness right.

[@FirdausAzhar87]

[@johnkelly7264]

I'd rather use one of your restored lathes than a new top end one!. SPECTACULAR work!

[@crashn]

yup! any day of the week I would take his over any other new one. His work is fantastic

[@Woody-nc1ru]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@wizzardofwizzards]

This has got to be one of the best lathe restorations I have seen so far! With the amount of acquired machine restoration experience demonstrated it would seem one is ready to tackle a CNC rebuild. Especially since the price difference for the older CNC machines in today's market is relatively close to their manual counterparts. The learning curve for the electronics is nominal since most systems or components have dedicated and defined purposes. Either way, the level of expertise shown here is commendable!

[@gothamantiquities2595]

To jest pierwszy film na którym widać że remont robi mechanik maszyn i urządzeń przemysłowych z krwi i kości , po prostu fachowiec. Zrobił remont mechanizmów wrzeciona , skrzyń przekładniowych , suportu ale też wie jak się skrobie łoże i prowadnice. Bo przygotowanie do malowania i samo malowanie zostawił na koniec , bo to tylko estetyka i nie ma wpływu na precyzję obrabiarki. BRAWO !!

[@antoniegill7994]

Only Cà Lem will take an awesome restoration of days/weeks and condense all the groovy details into 25 minutes. You should add longer videos of the content that was cut from the video where you can drill down into some detail of specific sections, all round looking forward to some precision milling. #shoutout to other artisans, you should reach out to Cà Lem on some collaboration work on projects.

I could not have subscribed faster after quickly realizing zero annoying music is included. Thank you with every fiber of my being.

[@ShevillMathers]

Now this IS a lathe restoration, probably better than factory new. I have seen many so called restorations, but none to this standard. Machine scraping for rough work and hand scraped for a fine finish. Brilliant work all the way. Some of the restorations I have seen would be considered ‘black smithing’ compared to this standard of workmanship.

[@jbh.6257]

I am always blown away by the level of skill and talent you have 🤯... keep up the great work and entertaining videos!!👨‍🔧

[@USM247]

FANTASTIC!! I wondered why I hadn't seen you for a while ... now I know. I also know that lathe is in better condition than when it was new. You settle for nothing less than perfection. Thanks for a marvelous video. I can't wait to see what you create next. So glad you are back.
