Old English Milling Machine Vise Cleanup

[@Tinker001]

Ed, That's a two-speed vise. The brass piece is turned by hand one way to make it crank in & out easily & the other way when you're ready to tighten it down.

[@foxpsi]

It's good to see you back on KZbin and in the shed I enjoy your videos as much as Diresta and AvE. When I moved to Melbourne and I had my own shed you inspired me to build my own silent air compressor to stop annoying the neighbors on the long cold Melbourne nights. Keep up the great work and producing interesting videos!

[@alanmcknight2486]

Nice job. That vice will be good for another 30 years.

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

80 years + i recon

[@MrCinimod93]

seeing a good old aussie50 video up made my day glad to see it great vise learned something

[@markv9185]

I have the same vise. You will see what it does when you tighten a part in it. It will close & open up fast without pressure on the part, then when the pressure starts it will feel like it changes gears (spring twist) to give you more torque on the short acme section (as stated by others). Don't let the dog get ahold of your big pink rod!!!! yOU COULD PUT THAT IN YOUR NEW VISE LOL!!!

[@sidewaysstarion]

But AVE told me to keep my...

[@Aussie50]

Thanks mate, your spot on, its a force multiplier, kinda cool. the Vertex ones have a much finer single stage screw and are slow to open, this one is really fast. I will keep my pink rod in a vise :p

[@FrontSideBus]

The dog barking at the start had me In stiches... The way he was sat there looking up at the camera when you panned around was priceless xD

[@rupert5390]

Aussie 50 -it's a two speed tightening - I have german one which is very similar came with a deckel mill - the vice you have just repaired is 50 times better than a vertex - close to a Kurt. Fantastic.

[@gemini_man3322]

Good to see you back I enjoy your videos.

[@twocvbloke]

And that dog, she has to steal the show!! :P

[@brokenmotorwagen1328]

Doggo wants to steal the show.

[@fluffyfloof9267]

Please upload a puppy dogger video. It's such a cute fluffer. :3

[@boelwerkr]

It's a helper to make it easier to get a high clamping force. While tightening down the outer bearing will lock up. The internal screw then starts to turn. The pitch of the internal screw is less steep giving more clamping force for the same amount of torque. The Spring will return the internal screw to the start position when loosing up the vice.

[@Aussie50]

your exactly right, its makes it faster to open, but acts as a force multiplier when you actually clamp down, very cool idea!

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

Must be a pre load , nice quality , nothing like the old stuff, usually comes up well with a rebuild, and always worth it.

[@mimlomiani6949]

in Europe a new one just like that cost around 2000 euro's that is nearly 2600 dollars. They are really expensive if you find a good one it really is worth it ...:) Nice job

[@Moonblade042194]

Why not sanding on the trailing edge of the thread? It seemed you did the leading face and the outside face

[@Aussie50]

very good point, I may take this down again and give it a once over after some use, now that its being run in again!

[@survivedthenrevived8595]

Nice job man wish a had a man cave like yours

[@rupert5390]

I wanna know where your scrap yard is - jesus you've had some nice gear out of there.

[@stonent]

The dog looked like it was carrying an inflatable doll.

[@DJignyte]

A good wealth of knowledge in your videos, man. Cheers, ay!

[@NicolasBana]

I love when you hammer it with your big pink rod.

[@jcmcadams08able]

Hey From the states! I’ve been watching your videos on your Kubota 1600 diesel mower. I have a chance to get a older one like that right now for about 700. It runs decent just a lagging starter built deck has been rebuilt it’s just off machine so I can’t test it. Other than that what is your opinion on yours! Is it still going? Do you still have it? Thanks

[@Aussie50]

I gave mine to my mother who owns 10X the land I do and she loves it, just doing the belts and service on it this week, its well worth the money! . I have noticed issues with the safety cutout switches that cause starting issues, if the starter motor tests fine try bypassing cutout switches one at a time and see if it starts properly, then replace said switch or just bypass it.

[@jcmcadams08able]

Awesome thanks for the reply man. I bought it from a old man that sent the deck off to get rebuilt then never put it back on. Mine is kinda ruff looking but runs great. I will try that with the switch. They seem to be hard to get parts for here in the U.S

[@Aussie50]

yeh parts are a bit hard to get here too, I do not think they sold an awful lot of them outside of the professional market, very expensive when new and most operators went with Toro zero turn mowers instead. The switches you want to find are the seat cutout (deadman switch) the brake pedal and blade lever, assuming yours requires you to hold foot on brake to start. the ones on mums are a bit flaky but once its running its fine.

[@kevincook2591]

does the sping eliminate backlash

[@twocvbloke]

Ah hardware from an era when "Made in England" meant something, build it right and it lasts a lifetime, build it in china, forget reliability...

[@simontay4851]

Exactly! Back when stuff was proudly made properly in England! Old British made stuff just lasts forever.

[@simontay4851]

Non of this Chinese rubbish.

[@mimlomiani6949]

Just 20 years ago we used to say the world is behind America by 100 years and europe by 50!! Look what they did to America. They are not allowing American made being solled so easily. Destroying America is their first GOAL. The most beautitul pice of paper in human history is the American Constitution and they are enemy of that have been and stil are....!!!?

[@Aussie50]

yeh proper Sheffield Steel and iron, top quality (not sure if tis one is made in Sheffield but its what comes to mind )

[@Madmick82]

Reframing myself from big pink rod jokes

[@simontay4851]

I laughed when he said big pink rod.

[@Aussie50]

whats wrong with the rinky pink pounder :p

[@ShokaLion]

Is that brass spring dealie designed so you can put a repeatable clamping force on the workpiece? Perhaps the spring is pre-specified for a certain tension before it starts to give or something like that.

[@SamSitar]

what's that ATF you soaked the clamp in?

[@Aussie50]

yeh I just used Dex III

[@Thunderbelch]

ATF (automatic transmission fluid) (any old school brand) + acetone = cheaper and/or more effective penetrating oil. The stuff you use when the bugger before you skipped the (copper) anti-seize...

[@zx8401ztv]

You've done a smashing job with an old beast Ed, usable again: -D It doesnt look like the same vice now. That odd brass part doesnt make much sense, someone will know.

[@Aussie50]

apparently its a force multiplier, kind of a interesting way to do it. modern Vertex vises have a fine thread pitch on the screw but are single stage, this corse one is duel stage

[@n__neen]

rest in peace ed

[@DrakkarCalethiel]

You definitely have some of AvEs lingo. :D

[@stonent]

Schmoo!

[@muh1h1]

Weeble Wobble!

[@ionlarisa18]

Nice video

[@TheFurriestOne]

Ha, Curie thinks you should pay attention to her rather than talking to yourself! (us) XD Wow, that cleaned up nice! Great return on your investment!

[@Thunderbelch]

Embrace the schmoo! \m/

[@HDXFH]

Skookum job

[@Ccnsword]

I watch this for the doggy too

[@zaprodk]

Big pink rod :D

[@millibilli7058]

ware have you gone ed? i really enjoy your vids and hope everything is o.k. with you.

[@aleksandergrondalen]

He is dead. R.I.P

[@ethancbaker2002]

Rip

[@SomeMorganSomewhere]

Best guess the spring is to remove backlash from the screw, no idea why you'd bother in a vice though, not like it's a precision positioning device.

[@simontay4851]

If it was made in England, how/why did it end up in an aussie scrap yard.

[@Tinker001]

Quite likely the same way its twin ended up on a mill I've run here in Canada...

[@DrakkarCalethiel]

Scott Miller Or even here in Austria. A friend has a vice made in Sheffield.

[@fluffyfloof9267]

10 bucks? How much does it weigh? If i interpret that Marx dude correctly, utilisation value, it's worth even more than its scrap metal value.

[@HeimoVN]

That brass nut, looks like a mechanism to take slop out of the screw seeing that the threads that goes into that nut is a different pitch than the main screw... speaking from total ignorance naturally

[@240Volts]

I don't think this channel will ever be how it use to be. Even I don't upload much anymore due to safety sissies.

[@crusadershuakbar]

taiwan is ancient chinese province since ..................ancient times

[@SootySweep22]

Crusaders hu Akbar True. Lots of places were once other places.
