Lathe Restauration - When it Tipped Over I Wanted to Quit (But I havent)

[@reps]

Great work! Wish I had a suitable workshop to adopt such a beast 🙄

[@Roetz40]

Thank you! Someday it'll fit :)

[@johnkelly7264]

WOW!.. Came over from This Old Tony. So glad I did, Love your channel. Subbed here!

[@magran17]

You are a man I can respect! Such quality workmanship.

[@N1RKW]

Wow, so glad the lathe wasn't significantly damaged by that fall!

[@DanielHeineck]

Using multiple gas pipes where you keep circulating them to the front (in the direction you're rolling) is another way to move heavy equipment. Glad she's in place and making chips!

[@Roetz40]

Yes, I've used that often times :)

[@yodasbff3395]

Nice job👍. It's hard to understand why people would neglect and abuse such a fine piece of equipment, thanks for restoring it. 👍

[@Roetz40]

Don't understand that either :))

[@weldmachine]

This reminds me so much of my Mazak CNC Lathe Rebuild ?? Still not finished after much time trying my best to get it done 🙄 My main problem with the rebuild is ? ME 😁 I am Very Fussy how things look which only adds to the time it takes to get it finished and i have my normal work coming into my shop also. It will Definitely be a Big Help when it's Finally running again. Hopefully Soon 🤔 Wish you all the best with your mission 👍

[@sidewinder15599]

Parts washers look like magic every time. Also, awesome job!

[@dannywilsher4165]

Awesome job on the rebuild! I have 3 LeBlond lathes. The 17 x 120 had been tipped over or dropped or something. The taper attachment was broke off of it and the lead screw was bent. Other than that, it is inasty and rustind it now works like a new one also. Next in line is the 13 x 96. It is not in as good a shape as the other 2 but it will be when I get finished. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching!!!

[@PiotrSarnacki]

Awesome work! And it's great to hear nobody got hurt, those things are dangerous when moving. Some time ago I had an accident with a lathe tipping over on a pallet jack on an uneven surface. Fortunately the lathe was small (Weiler Matador) and I didn't get hurt, but it really made me much more careful when moving anything. What is the model of the vacuum cleaner? I'd love to have something like that for restorations etc.

[@keranobrien1529]

i have just bought the same lathe, I hope to restore it like yours. it looks like you did a great job, well done.

[@Roetz40]

Go for it!

[@cho4d]

i am actually crying with laughter at the unboxing. i needed that. thank you!

[@dermozart80]

Schönes Maschinchen. Und was ein Glück, dass nichts wirklich kaputt gegangen ist. Viel Spaß damit!!

[@patricklaible7527]

Nice work, moving top heavy machines like lathes is always scary. For the way wipers if the polymer parts are missing. I reprinted mine out of TPU on the 3d printer, and they are doing a nice job so far.

[@Roetz40]

Never considered that, but I might try that in the future!

[@julias-shed]

CO2 laser cutters are great for felt seals and wipers. 😃

[@neonalon]

Great idea!

[@rustblade5021]

TOS are interesting machines. almost unheard of in the USA, but somewhat common here in Canada. they are very well built. but they have their quirks too

[@kamikazeratte]

4:30 Some love it, others hate it - resedagrün (reseda green). In my opinion the best choice for this machine, beautiful!

[@parttime9070]

I'm new to this channel.. I helped move some large stone counter tops, they were over 3 tons.. We rented air bags that ride on a cushion of air, you lay down that brown Masonite board and duct tape the seams..

[@TheMetalButcher]

Cool to see some nice tos content. Lucky it dropped on it's back.

[@sicstar]

So happy you showed that thing some proper love. Looks almost like new again and all the crud got removed out of every hole i guess :D VERY nice work and trough work there, love it. Also ... automatic tailstock feed? That's not stock isn't it? :D Peace and keep up the good work! (edit : be glad the thing tipped over on its back... a hit from all that weight on the front ... Rip all levers, handles, buttons etc ... that was lucky as heck (and that nobody tired to catch the thing while tipping over LOL))

[@Chris-kk8xg]

My shop has the same lathe in it. It works a treat still.

[@CllAslnr]

En sevdiğim iş kolu. Bozuk veya bakıma ihtiyacı olan makineleri tamir etmek huzur veriyor bana. Bu yüzdendir ki bu türden yüzlerce video seyrediyorum.

[@max_eley]

Great video!, will never move machines with 4 skates, i have only ever used 2, forks at the front, skates at the back notched in. Thanks for sharing!

[@mxlje]

How did you get ahold of This Old Tony to teach you the ways of cutting metal (and joining it!) by hand?? Also that is some serious piece of equipment, very nice.

[@JustAnotherCraftsman]

Is it SUI40 or 50? I have SUI40 and it is absolutelly amazing piece of machinery. Did you also check the overall geometry? Btw nice clenup and partial restoration 😉. Only a few can imagine how much time and effort was invested in the project.

[@greggroos2271]

Great video thx. The TOS lathes look really capable, great resto. The teachable moment in this video is the skate mishap. If you're using skates and they are not bolted to machine, you have to watch them every second. Even with 3 skates, you can't depend on the tripod effect. I foolishly thought I could, and got lucky when one came out from under headstock end, just lucky it didn't flip. Pipe rollers are more reliable, and can be steered remarkably well, plus they are low profile so if they drop out the machine won't tip far. Videos showing pallet jacks always make them look problem free, but the slabs on my planet are too rough, or there's a slope. Loaner Harbor Freight engine lift? Sorry no thanks. Lathe plus pallet jack plus slope equals potential for disaster. Pipes: free/cheap, easy to steer and keep machine movement controlled. Just add come-along, bob's deine Onkel.

[@jovahsangel]

ALOHA! Heard about your channel from This Old Tony.😎🤙

[@Roetz40]

Welcome aboard :)

[@r4z3r91]

Gute Arbeit, die TOS Drehmaschinen sind wirklich nicht schlecht. Trotz allem stehe ich eher auf VDF :D Hätte ich mehr Platz würde ich eine VDF Hamburg oder Göppingen restaurieren :)

[@Roetz40]

Sind alles schöne Maschinen und am Ende des Tages unterschieden die sich nur noch marginal. Kommt immer drauf an was man machen möchte und in welcher preislichen Kategorie man sucht

[@nikolaiownz]

Nice job on restoring that. Thats an awesome lathe Also i have a tos sn500 from 2000 with the same steadys as you. I love that lathe. Its awesome 👌

[@Roetz40]

Thank you

[@JorgenLarsson]

Nice job! It sure takes up a lot of space when you tare them down like that.

[@Roetz40]

For sure. 15m² of workbench space is not enough

[@badguyjr007]

Great video. Great choice of music. Nice to see the lathe back to its former glory.

[@Roetz40]

Thank you!

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

Tolle Arbeit! Wie genau hast du die Gewindespindel repariert, also wie die neue Spindel mit dem alten Teil verbunden?

[@Roetz40]

Eine Schraube geht durch das Stirnzahnrad in die neue Spindel und zudem wurde mit loctite Welle Nabe gefügt !

[@WeCanDoThatBetter]

@@Roetz40 Ah super, danke! Vor einem ähnlichen Problem stehe ich nämlich auch :)

[@jbprospector3638]

Can't wait for the next one 🤠

Servus welchen Ölsauger nutzt du ich bräuchte auch einen für Öl und Späne Schöne Grüße aus Niederbayern

[@captcarlos]

It seems you have two lathes, one the mirror of the other, nice! You should have painted the underside while you had the opportunity! Hahaaa!! Seriously though, I've moved some heavy shit in my time and I'm glad no one got hurt and that the lathe didn't crack. Thanks for the video, enjoy that lathe.

[@Roetz40]

haha youre right, should have done that. But I had other things in mind at that time :D

[@akfarmboy49]

Nice Lathe and handy size

[@xephael3485]

Apparently this lathe was rode hard and put away wet... what sort of paint did you use? Epoxy based?

[@renehuizinga3630]

Wow, wonderful machine ! 👍😎

[@Xlaxsauce]

nice to see a machine get an extended life

[@mikelodoncz2886]

it should be crime when someone puts old machine like this to the scrap yard

Great restoration ! ! !by the way which company made this lathe?

TOS!

[@andude3]

What kind of vacuum cleaner is that? it really does seem like an MVP

[@Roetz40]

Thomas build it by himself. A 3 phase side channel blower with a cyclone divider. Works really good!

[@OmeMachining]

Great video 👍🙂💪

[@Roetz40]

Thank you!

[@OmeMachining]

@@Roetz40 but also sad to see your lathe tip over. TOS machines is great, - very accurate but super strong. They can do some serious material removal 😁💪

[@felixe.8402]

Schöne Maschine! Aber wenn ich mal ganz indiskret fragen darf: Betreibt ihr/ du die Werkstatt eigentlich privat oder gewerblich oder ist das ein Mischmasch aus beidem? Die Werkstattausstattung spricht im ersten Moment für gewerblich, KZbin und beispielsweise die hier präsentierte Restauration sind aber Sachen, die in der Industrie wohl konsequent von der Buchhaltung unterbunden werden würden ;) Andererseits habe ich in einem deutschsprachigen Internetforum schon private Hobbywerkstätten gesehen, die ähnlichem Ausmaß entsprachen...

[@Roetz40]

diskrete Antwort: Gewerblich! Aber wo hört Hobby auf und wo fängt Arbeit an? Ich arbeite ausschließlich FÜR die Industrie und daher zeige ich hier nahezu NIE die Dinge an denen ich arbeite. Den Rest versuche ich hier mit (m)einer Portion Humor zu zeigen ;)

[@mallyuk1]

Nice job looks like new, you could use something like skate boards all made from metal, or you could of rebuilt it in the place it was going i,ve sub as well cheers

[@wyattselleck7236]

Very nice indeed. 👍

[@Roetz40]

Thank you!

[@turdferguson74]

U always see them using machine skates to move heavy stuff

[@Chris-bg8mk]

I dropped my 1970s Graziano SAG17 on its face due to faulty forklift hydraulics, and riggers that didn't follow my instructions. It's in storage now and my heart is still broken.

[@hinz1]

Most times stuff lands in the worst possible orientation, this time you were lucky and it dropped the best way possible ;-) Operator side with lots of handwheels/shifting levers would have been a whole lot worse!

[@Roetz40]

If it had dropped operator side down, it would be game over. This way it was still a lot of work to fix it, but nothing serious

[@ChristophLehner]

Glad it only fell on the backside. Recently i totaled a mill, by dropping it from a tractor...

[@Roetz40]

I feel you, bro. Never totaled something in that regard but moving stuff is always hard on the nerves...

[@devindecater]

Always only 3 skates under the machine! They give you four in most kits, which I never really understood. 3 points are stable. Four are impossible to be stable.

[@JaspervanStijn]

I expected tears ;-)
