Wow. My very first job was as a Foundry Technician working at a foundry producing the lathe bed for the full range of Colchester Lathes. The main patterns and moulds were single piece, not made in sections like in this video and most of them very much larger than this one. But amazing to see how they did it here.

[@Sketch1994]

Even the smallest colchester lathes have high precision spindle bearings and are very fine quality machines...as long as you don't need a metric model which is a endless mix and match of imperial and metric

[@hoperp1951]

This was a very long time ago that I worked in the foundry, way back in 1969/70, I moved on very quickly into another industry and stayed for 40 years. @@Sketch1994

Probably gives them the ability to make different size bases with the same basic patterns. Labor is cheap, so it's not an issue.

What materiale is a colchester lathe made of? Is it a special mix if grey cast Iron? Since it can be hardened?

Basically a cast iron, but a high quality one with added Silicon and Manganese. Cannot recall the exact details, I worked there a long long time ago, briefly way back in 1969/70.@@peteromoe4667

Other than the sandals and the electric hoists there isn't anything in this video that wouldn't have been done 150 years ago in the US. And calling these castings crude is a real insult to their skill.

It's amazing what people can do with what they have. In the west ,this type of production looks totally alien and "crude" and the conditions are , the results awsome 👌

[@jeremiahbrown6456]

@@rcbock15 it is very crude and there is very little skill here, they know how do something but they clearly do not understand why they do it the way they do, they just do it because that's how they were taught. Which means they don't understand the mistakes they are making. For instance that casting is made of pure pot metal, that shaper they were using to machine the bed is screaming for some oil, and the surface finish on the bed was terrible. My blind grandpa could do better with a hammer and chisel. Its a case of monkey see-monkey do, but monkey does understand why or what he does.

[@idcashflow]

hahaha, typical american without any education and commenting everything in ignorance state of mind, this is what foundry looks like many years ago, what make now its just modernize, you still can search hobbyist youtuber from US that are not stupid and ignorance like you doing this shit, exactly the same.

[@Horus9339]

Unbelievable engineering, from the ground up (sorry for the pun). I especially appreciate the health and safety flip flops. Can you imagine what these guys could do with some of our modern machines, or even tools from the late 80/90s. Really impressive.

[@sumeerkaul2811]

i remember once i had done a planing job on a double column planer for the fabrication of a dove tail die both male and female part .one of my earlier days project .Thankyou for making me remember

[@lathejack]

Interesting video, but it is a real pity that it missed out the main point of interest during machining, which is of the machining of the guideways on the top of the bed casting. It could be seen that the top had already been machined before the casting was shown mounted on its side, cannot see any logic in not showing the top surface being machined. But still interesting, and a nice product at the end.

[@ValMartinIreland]

Yes, not cast iron either. just mixed steel.

[@nerd1000ify]

They are using a cupola furnace, I'm pretty sure any steel you charge will be cast iron by the time it reaches the bottom.

The ubiquitous South Bend 13 has been around for about 117 years, essentially in its current form other than the change from a line shaft to an electric motor and many of the very old machines are still in service.

You'd probably be surprised the amount of manufacturing that still goes on. Nothing near as much as compared to back the day when even small household items were produced in large numbers but still there is a lot of manufacturing. Ships, submarines, trucks, tractors, planes, cars, rockets, satellites, engineering machines, mining machines, all sorts of stuff - and quality stuff - is still viable to produce in the US. When people say the US, or other western countries don't make anything anymore they are deluding themselves

[@jonnyphenomenon]

On one hand, I want to give these guys some props for working so hard for what must be little more than peanuts, but on the other hand, if that entire casting is made from RANDOM scrap metal, then that means the ways are made of that same metal. DO you really believe that that their mystery allow will accept the type of heat treatment that the ways require?? I found myself gazing on in horror thinking about these guys working in the dirt with no shoes, no safety glasses, and not a care in the world by the look of em. I couldn't help but think the end result of their work must be a heap of trash.... but then it hit me... that casting looks an awful lot like the one under my brand new PM1130. could it be??? oh my god...

[@trahtrebor]

Durn! No iron pour or maching of the ways. I was really looking forward to those two aspects. Otherwise thanks for your work. I have never seen molds made in this manner. I learned something.

my old clausing machine owners manual said the castings were aged for a minimum of 6 months prior to machining them. how long are these aged or at all? i wonder if this would affect the accuracy over a long period of time?

[@memyself3275]

Absolutely. Im a causing guy and IIRC they age their castings for 3 years. These things look like they took all of the flaws of the horrible freight lathes and enlarged them and took no time in getting them right. Dont worry about long term accuracy because there's no inherent accuract to begin with. People saying this is amazing have no clue.

Their tolerance appear to be about on par with their alloy mix... I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were still warm to the touch.
