Sellers Drill Grinder Restoration: Rebuilding and Reassembly of the Rocker Arm

[@Ervan-l9v]

I like the color. Always satisfying to clean up an old machine. I have never seen Rustolium with that nozzle.

[@StevenEverett7]

I always enjoy seeing you restoring old equipment Keith. Great job!

[@peterhobson3262]

It's particularly pleasant to see an old piece of machinery put into "as new" condition.

[@ellieprice363]

Thanks for the step by step reassembly of your heavy duty drill sharpener. When finished it will be better than new. Nice paint choice.

[@johnmolnar2957]

the beauty of a machine shop is making parts for machines. nice choice on the colour

[@billdoodson4232]

I used to dread the sound of a needle scaler. I spent the first 14 years of my working life in the Merchant Navy as an Engineer. I'd come off the 04:00 to 08:00 shift and head for the sack. The bosun, bless him, would have half a dozen of the seamen painting the accommodation block. You could guarantee two or three would have needle scalers and they would really be digging into the rust. Urrrrgggggghhhhhh.

[@jimfiles3307]

Good morning, It’s amazing how a inexpensive oilite bushing can make something worn and sloppy, almost like new. Excellent work.

[@frankdoner8402]

I really enjoy the combination of rebuilding these old machines and the machining that goes along with it. Thank you Keith 😊

[@katelights]

In Australia a lot of companies call that colour Pale Eucalypt. Its a good colour for sheds or outdoor electrical boxes and things like that, because it blends into the environment quite well. Disney is known for painting a lot of their "backstage" things a similar colour as its very easy for human eyes to ignore.

[@jakobrebeki]

Thanks Keith....

[@tomjewett5839]

More awesome progress Keith. By the way I vote For gold paint for the sellers insignia on the base.

[@stephenschuld2863]

If you ever decide to spray a project, look into an inflatable paint booth. One of the best investments I made for painting small to medium sized projects. It sets up in under 5 minutes and deflates and packs up under ten. It would work for stripping items also because of the air supply system. Cheers

[@alandaters8547]

That makes sense. It might also be useful for managing toxic dust when removing lead paint or asbestos insulation during restoration of old equipment.

[@PaulSt-h2f]

What a great restoration, I love the paint colour, it looks great, glad you have mended as such, have a great day Keith.

[@paulputnam2305]

Great job Professor!

[@dalejones4186]

Really enjoy watching your videos Keith. Thanks for sharing.

[@johncloar1692]

A good step along the way. Thanks Keith for the video.

[@alanchamberlin2384]

It’s looking great so far I’m sure you will have that running like it was when new.

[@hobbiesrus]

Always nice when you have a box of bearings that works out ready and done!

[@paulkinzer7661]

What a difference! I'd love to see before and after comparisons once the work is done. You're really moving on this one. You give me incentive to get my loose lathe tightened up and running better.

[@stevemarschman3202]

If you ever want to try a different paint, I can highly recommend Seymour Paint's MRO series (rattlecan). I used it to refinish my Clausing 8520 milling machine. I laid it over Rustoleum's automotive primer (also rattlecan). The MRO paint covers fantastically and covers a lot of surface due to the high solids content. You can cover large surfaces without drying streaks if you spray below 80F and stay in the shade. I could not get it to run. I'm a user who paid retail for every can. Keep up the great work, Keith.

[@PaulSt-h2f]

Woo Hoo another video. Thanks Keith. Your a star.

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

[@ckvasnic1]

Keith…. Yet another nice video…. You need to look for a Sterling Drill grinder…. Much less complex and takes up less room in the shop…. Does up to a 3” drill

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing.

[@butter262]

Good morning

[@argee55]

Good looking piece of equipment. Looking forward to seeing it in use.

[@smaggies]

:) looking great fun little project

[@jamesupton143]

Great message on using a grinder safely. I have a nice scar on my left thumb because of a angle grinder.

[@1953saberbee]

Enjoy your videos ! Been a fan since the Tally Ho Capstan project. Would really like a video showing a walk thru of your shop! How you arrange things,storage , etc. Thanks !

[@marclattoni1959]

Quality work and quality video. Thanks Keith.

[@mrfarmall-vk4gw]

Looking good👍👍

[@timf6916]

Good job, nice color.

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Keith

[@tinkerersgarage2944]

BA benchmark abrasives. All of my abrasives come from them. Very pleased with them

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Me too. Great stuff

[@melshea2276]

Happy Monday from snowy Orange Ma.!😊⚙️🛠🚂👍👍👍👍✌️

[@kitmaira]

I’m notorious for not using PPE when I’m working on projects. Had a wake up call the other day when I was cutting some flat stock with a cutting wheel on a hand grinder and caught my shop apron on fire. Switched to a leather one, and damned if I didn’t burn a hole in it! I like how you breezed though this video without showing every tedious operation. You covered a lot of ground and the video flew by. Enjoyed this one.

[@SciPunk215]

I need to see this in action.

[@johnvanantwerp2791]

Nicely done!

[@troyj3292]

All I could think of while Keith was remaking the linkages was just how much that machine needed to be used in order to wear it out like that.

[@robertharker]

Great video!

[@user-Carl-2964]

Benchmark abrasives face shield, it’s a good one. Nice job so far on the rebuild. I am working on a Seneca Falls star metal lathe. Really old one, and lots of work.. so many parts have patent applied for on it…

[@markneedham752]

Painting. reminded me, mate used the Old Style Mortein Pump Fly Spray to paint damaged car panels. Surprisingly turned out as good as....? Not, as some would think, sort of OK, but as good as any HP painting.

[@paulputnam2305]

In the Air Force, brush painting was the norm. You can really get the twenty to a hundred coats of paint going on strong.

[@glencrandall7051]

Looking good.🙂🙂

[@stevespra1]

I like the color.

[@1howtoplace]

Cool

[@Unrivaledanime]

they do make a sand blasting attachment for your pressure washer works great just a thought

[@daveb3910]

I think he actually has one

[@floydhauffe8929]

Keith has shown water blasting in past. May not be fun with snow on the ground.

[@BedsitBob]

Monarch lathes are often green.

[@RaymondSwanson-u9y]

It amazes me the mass needed to grind a drill bit that weighs only a few ounces. That base alone weighs more than I can lift.

[@bcbloc02]

This will grind 2" or maybe larger drill bits which can easily be more in the 20lb range.

[@tamaradoggett70]

The color looks a lot like the one that the shop where my dad worked at .

[@kevinwayne7546]

COOL

[@rexmyers991]

I, too, wear leather gloves when using a wire wheel. When the tool,slips, it will shred your skin in a heartbeat.

[@ccswede]

CC Equipment demonstrated a laser tool that removed paint ,rust and debris.

[@RichieCat4223]

Keith look into a laser cleaner gun. 31: 42 No oil or grease on those bushings?

[@bencartee2113]

Yea, Rusto Enamel was my goto but it does not hold up at all where coolant is used.

[@ton146]

Love all your videos. I think its time we met Mrs Rucker!

[@AronGreen]

I like the face shield. If you can get more info on where to get one I'd appreciate it.

[@joopterwijn]

Missed the high pressure wasser in you list!

[@robertmardis6510]

😃

[@shootgp]

Face Shield - B. A. = Benchmark Abrasives. Their flap wheels and carbide burs are also good for the price. 👍

[@Otingocni]

May not be practical for you but dry ice blasting is pretty amazing. similar effectiveness to sandblasting but 0 and i mean 0 residue off the dry ice.

[@richardsurber8226]

Beauty drill grinder Keith. Glad tour hand is mending.

[@MorseB]

I thought gloves and protective clothing are recommend for hand held tools, and absolutely NOT for use around stationary tools like lathes and table saws that can pull you in?

[@thisolesignguy2733]

lol in the sign industry we call that "baby poop green"

[@stephenbaker-ix6dx]

Where can I get a bearing bush? Do they grow in the wild? 😜

[@peteengard9966]

They've been cultivated in China for the past fifty years. Hard to get. But I know a guy who knows a guy who has a cousin that has a roommate who's grandmother was in the bearing bush underground.😂😂

[@robertgarrett5009]

Needle scaler is the go to tool for cleaning stuff up, just ask the guys over at the USS New Jersey. Where would one find a Bushing Bush?😅

[@oldschool1993]

Skip to 10:00 for content.

[@masteruniverse3506]

I refused to wear safety glasses until I ended up with a wire from a wire wheel in my eyebrow. Now wear face shield all the time.

[@markbrown-us4xe]

Better sneak in the diamond wheel dresser before Valentine's Day. If you know what I mean?

[@stevespra1]

Keith, Your videos are great, informative and interesting. You've always done a great job with the audio, which is the most important part of just about any video. You've done a great job of turning the sound level down during loud operations and up to a good level for monologue and conversation. However, lately it's been the opposite. The sound quality has been so poor that it makes the videos just about unwatchable. I know this is your primary income now and I'd hate to see you lose watch time but it's getting to that point. Please fix it. Thanks.

[@rexmyers991]

I don’t understand complaints about your audio. The playback sounds normal to me (and I’m 82). I do use headphones most of the time.

[@BedsitBob]

I think filling in the imperfections in a casting, takes away the character of the machine.

[@RobertFay]

*- Keith, why did you not oil the shafts for smoother working and rust prevention?*

[@joebetsygillespie7913]

I like the green! On a separate topic... I would have thought you'd put some oil or grease on the different bar stock pieces that rotate inside the housings. Keeping them dry would seem to guarantee wear on the bushings, etc. Just a thought.

[@Jackspigpin]

👍⚙🗜

[@paulmace7910]

Your shop, your rules but my OCD would not let me hammer new parts together. Since this will probably never come apart again it doesn’t really matter but a little grease clearance wouldn’t hurt. Nice machine.

[@vettepicking]

When he grabbed the shaft with channel lock pliers!!! Ahhhh!.!?@#*!

[@mikededmon]

ow - @12:36 that drill sound is deafening in headphones.

[@garrettworks346]

Agree! The audio volume has not been regulated very well lately. Needs to spend more time editing.

[@danieltaylor3611]

Please please please sort the volume levels. Just blown an ear drum

[@TMxl-w5t]

It must be your setup, it all works fine for me 👍

[@richardsmith-io2is]

you have a problem with your mic I have to turn my volume way up and when another video its good can you turn up your mic please

[@markmainwaring9552]

Long term Canadian subscriber here, but due to the actions of your President and your State being a Red State I can no longer subscribe to your channel.

[@bernardwill7196]

He is not responsible for his president, so don't disturb here.

[@tomswindler64]

Great,don’t let the door hit you in your ass.

[@MattWybiral]

Lol, it's not an airport. No need to announce departures.

[@alantrimble2881]

That’s a strange take. Keith never discusses politics on his channel. I don’t know why you’d “punish” him for the actions of others.

[@timbergel8147]

Seems unnecessary

[@mikelgeren149]

Enough about the hand .

[@garybrenner6236]

Amen! And I'm not buying the BS about how it happened outdoors, I noticed he's not reaching in to lift that clapper anymore!
