So Ya Bought A New Machine

So you bought a new machine, I take you through the process to find out if My purchase of this K&T #2 Plain mill was worth the value I paid for it. I talk a little bit abought what to look for and should have done before your new purchase when buying used machinery.
To watch and keep up on all my short clips and pic that use to be on Facebook, go to my MeWe site.

We're just all glad you're back and feeling better Keith.

[@chuckinwyoming8526]

Thanks Keith, I got my first mill, a 1942 K&T 2HL PLAIN when I was in high school. It needed a LOT more work to get running but I only paid 6 cents a pound for it. Has been a great machine for over 40 years now...

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Keith, Good to see you back on our screens… I hope you are well… This was an interesting video, hopefully see you again soon. Take care. Paul,,

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Well worth $700.00.

[@simperous4308]

Great to know you’re well!

Great to see Keith back and shooting jizm all over his new machine,

[@roydawson4882]

Looks like $700 well spent there Keith, stay safe

[@richardhebert6185]

So glad you're feeling better Mr. Fenner... Take care of yourself!!!

[@silverbullet7434]

Looks like gold to me . She's in really good shape . I used one like it many years ago . See we can build things to last for more then 5 years.

[@garthbutton699]

Thanks for the video I have always liked old machinery🤗🤗🤗

[@lisaburnett3368]

Good to see you back in shop again Keith.

[@member5488]

Well bought. Glad to see a usable machine so low priced. I'm 46 and have ran a fence construction company my father founded in 1980 for the last 20 years. Due to a rare tick born infection called Tularemia, my physical strength and stamina was permanently impacted. Having watched Keith from almost the start of his channel, it helped me decide to move into another career and I am signed up to learn machine technology this fall. I hope that with my already advanced mechanical, electrical and welding skills that I can transition my business into a job shop where my brains are more important than my brawn.

[@dozer1642]

I’m glad you are back my friend. We are almost halfway through 2021 and I’m still trying to forget 2020.

[@waynepollard6879]

I'd like to see you rebuild and paint that machine. Great buy !

[@MrKingdavis13]

Glad to see you got your head cleared up and everything. I wish I had the opportunity to buy a piece of equipment like that for my garage but I don't have three phase power and ANY machine within a day drive of my garage would have an extra 0 on the price and would be in far worse shape. It kinda makes me sick to see warehouses full of equipment just sitting there for years and years because they want $10,000 for a 50 year old piece of equipment they they picked up for scrap price a couple decades ago. But such is life.

[@davidmexicotte9862]

Glad you are back!

[@58unclesam]

Glad to know your running on all cylinders again!

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Glad to see you back. Nice Mill. If that was on the West Coast, covered in thick rust, motor barely able to turn, handles missing, oil full of gunk, it would still be selling for a couple of thousand. I am jealous.

[@lfowkes11]

My employer has a plant full of expensive CNC turning centers and vertical machining centers but we still have two of those same Kearny and Trecker mills that we use quite often. They are bullet proof and are often the best way to do certain operations. $700 was a steal!!

I’m calling camera trickery on this one. If I drop a screw, there’s no way I find it that quickly in real life.

Glad to see you back Keith. That looks a really good pick up there, will be interesting to see its progress. Thanks for sharing. Regards from Wales

[@brucelott3583]

I just recently picked up a 60's Clausing 14" lathe and tomorrow I'm going to pick up a mill. I've wanted a mill for some time but couldn't justify it until recently. The lathe was a project but the mill is going to be able to hit the floor running. Good machines are kind of hard to find at a decent price here in Florida.

I have a couple hundred cutters that I ended up with from an auction. Everything from thin cutters to ~6” spiral. Most still have plastic on them (I assume from having been sharpened). I believe all of them are American made HSS. I thought maybe someone watching this may have a need since they’re just taking up space in my garage currently.

[@mobiousenigma]

hey fenner! good to see ya uploading and double bonus a new machine to disassemble and inspect...clean refurbish and put back to use. many of the creators i watch have been talking about work/projects and not showing it which has left me wanting new engineering to explore. as always thanks for the vids

Wow what an awesome find...good to see no major issues. very well worth the cost, my luck usually runs the other way. Sure would be nice if you have the time to give the old girl a full clean-up and keep it in the shop.. Could be handy having two different setups...just saying ATB...Dean

[@PhilG999]

From my time in the Industrial Equipment industry ( I did mechanical power transmission, hydraulics and pneumatics and pretty much everything else) we always tried to sell the customer matched v-belts or two ,three, four + "multi V belts". Like 4 "D" belts in one. Wasn't much more expensive and it was a "fix it once and you're done". So many just got random belts of the "same" size but not matched and bitched that they didn't run the same. Um. "That match number on the belt is there for a reason".

Excellent fixing there!!

[@jamesr.simmons5510]

You may already know this, but if you put a Shop-Vac hose on the oil inlet the vacuum will hold the oil in the case while you change the sight glass, etc. The only thing I don't use this trick on is with something that has flammable vapors like gasoline. It works great for patching holes in diesel tanks or radiators. I realize your oil was over full and you were intentionally letting some out, but I just thought I'd pass this trick on for others to use when needed.

Keith I really like this machine. I don't believe I could store this till I freed up the pump. If not lubed it may turn into a rust ball. The x y and z motions seem really good. Sometimes machines of this vintage have trouble in the up direction on high speed but this is stellar.
