Milling machine Rebuild Part 2

In part 2 of Mill rebuild I use turcite to build up the saddle and finish rebuilding the mill to its original glory.

THANK YOU so much for capturing and sharing this journey. I've been planning on doing the same to my mid-70's Wells-Index 847 mill. i'm sure i'll watch these many many times before it's all said and done! Can you give us a rough idea of the total time spent?

[@advanceair]

Glad to help

Thinking about building a new head for my 645 and scrapping in the rest hard for me to justify it until I remedy the issues in the head as it’s basically wore out in every aspect from the gears to the bearings

[@SquidoftheD]

You some very expensive measuring equipment for as you call yourself a novice with power scraper and granite worth big $$ and throw in a couple of camel backs, more than some professional work places all for a novice.

Very interesting video, thanks so much Would you mind sharing a bit more about the dial indicator stand you have? I am building one myself and your model looks very neat 😊

[@piavigdalsgaard2230]

instead of machine shop... you could have hammered it ... peening..

[@Musicalbullet]

Great job! Good to see the Turcite application 👌🏻

[@SecurityisaMyth]

Outstanding job! Thank you for taking the time to make the video.

[@whynot-ts9rf]

How long it take to you?

[@matsworld9386]

Hey Vince, thanks for posting these videos, very helpful .. you mention it would be nice to Richard King as a neighbour, I wish you were mine, you don't happen to be in Victoria are you? LOL

[@platypus357]

THANK YOU! I’m at the scraping stage of doing the same thing to my Clausing 8025 mill - much smaller than yours but much the same process. Picked up some great tips from your videos. Greatly appreciated.

[@matsworld9386]

Hey Vince, on you saddle, how did you ascertain that the "slope" was coming from the knee-side ways and not the table side?

[@lindalambert6554]

I'm building a hillside cable-driven tram. Would you be interested in helping with the design for a fee? The responsibility would be all mine.

[@agentcovert]

Really good tutorial and content..Thank you. Really..I have learned so much just from you sharing each step as you chase thousands to dial in your machine as close as possible..I believe your machine is now better than factory spec tolerances..Bravo as I know it is and was so much work to do so..

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good job vince

[@mannycalavera121]

Looks great mate, job well done. Must be satisfying

[@jeremycable51]

[@umargul5644]

[@temyraverdana6421]

Amazing work! go on

[@HaasMill]

It is interesting how were made first machine tools in the world when there were no machine tools?

[@Paul-FrancisB]

Just watch clickspring to answer that 😁

[@jessemendes9491]

Parabéns !

[@mr.wardensworkshop]

Why would it necessarily matter if the bed was 7 thousandths less thickness than it was before?

[@advanceair]

Removing material from matting surfaces can miss align lead screws and nuts. That is why you add Turcite to make it up

[@mr.wardensworkshop]

@@advanceair got it. Thank you

[@martinmarriott3607]

Surely it would be much less work to re align the nut. Perhaps you enjoy the scraping.

[@advanceair]

True. Main purpose of adding Turcite was for longevity of machine

[@hairyfro]

@@martinmarriott3607 How would you go about re-aligning the nuts? They're held in a solid casting at a fixed distance from each other.
