Restoration of old Lathe - C609（Gustav Esfeld MDO）

[@annette6863]

What a GREAT job you did!!! A masterful restoration.

[@paulrward]

When you restore an old lathe, or any power tool, the first time you put it under power is MAGIC !! And then, you get to cut metal with it ! Very nice work, I am sure it will serve you very well for many years to come .

[@donsanders9863]

As a retired machinist, I found the video very gratifying. I don’t care what the critics say, I would love to own that little thing.

[@g.jeu.2187]

Hello, I have one, lathe lookalike. Working condition . Lorch Schmidt & Co. With all reduction gear wheels. Used it last 60 years. What is the value ? 1940 ? Ex . Philips Eindhoven.

[@georgeforeman89]

I don’t think the critics watched the same video as me. Your dial indicator at the end showed pretty much perfect precision. People just want to hate what they cannot do themselves to make themselves feel better about being unaccomplished and lazy. Good on you for bringing an old machine back to life and probably learning some new skills and techniques.

[@Hereford1642]

Any piece turned in a lathe will end up round in cross section along its length so rotating the turned brass with the dial indicator in one position tells you nothing much. The fact that the dial indicator was reading 10 at the tailstock end and 20 at the chuck end tells you that the lathe is not aligned and is turning a taper rather than a true cylinder.

What a beautiful job you did restoring the old lathe to working order. It not only works like a charm but it also looks a lot better too. Excellent work.

[@n9viw]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK. It was wonderful to watch your progress! Congratulations, that is a beautiful machine.

[@giggling_boatswain]

The bed also has heavy wear in the center. It must be milled. All older lathes have wear in the center of the bed. I would consider upgrading. Replace plain bearings with rolling bearings, make new shafts for this.

[@Renville80]

Right? And there was no effort shown to check the accuracy of the lathe afterwards… the machining channels I’m subscribed to, the operator is constantly checking their work to make sure they are getting the expected results as they turn whatever they’re working on.

[@fulf]

I dont think almost any "lathe restorer" knows what they do. They call i a restauration but its onley cosmetic. In my oppinion the restauration is when you grind/scrape the bed/ways so it preformes as new. The paint has nothing to do with the restauration its just a final last touch.

[@yak-machining]

​​@@fulfI also did a "restoration" on my 1919 lathe from Germany, but when I had to scrape the dovetails and align the headstock I completely gave up the entire hobby and sold everything 😂😂 it drove me insane

[@ferrumignis]

@@Renville80 He's also welding cast iron with MIG, which is a recipe for cracks. Weird how he's happy to slap bondo over everything but felt the need to weld up that little pit in the top slide?

[@bratherssteel3570]

Хорошая ресторация, но необходимо ещё все направляющие шабрить или шлифовать и менять геометрию.

[@amateur2521659]

Смотря какая точность нужна. Для домашних поделок нормально будет

[@strelokzero1179]

Лол биение в районе десятки у патрона. Для каких поделок? Амбарные петли на тяжёлые двери и те только в надежде что просто притрутся лет через 5. Это восстановление станок убило, варить направляющие никак нельзя. Он теперь только для музея пойдет, я думаю автор на то и работал.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Brilliant job. That little lathe looked like it’s done a lot of work in the past and now will do a lot more. I really like the light blue paint you picked and making the handle with the ball ends by free hand was pretty clever too. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺

the fact it was chattering on a light cut in brass means the ways are fucked and need reworked even the spindle bearing is gone on it just because you cleaned and repainted it means nothing if its not functioning as intended

[@d331nk]

По резу металла. Ты этим станком режешь латунь. Она весьма мягкая. Съем около милиметра. А за резцом идёт рисунок. Этот рисунок тебе говорит о том, что точность годится к крайне редкому использованию и обработке напильником после точения. Другими словами над станком еще работать и работать, прежде чем он вернёт себе точность хотя бы класса 0.

[@Excvositorum]

Да он вообще нормально ни бабки не выставлял, ни шабрил по линейкам. Так что-то по жирному слою притёр для вида. Что можно говорить о станочной культуре человека, который даже не прикрывает направляющие от абразива. Одно дело мясорубку от ржи отмыть, другое - станок приводить в порядок по допускам.

Ну красиво покрасить это конечно смотрится, на какой толк если единственная попытка восстановления геометрии станка заключалась в "пришабривании" Изношенного клина к изношенному ластохвосту, станок изношен кривой и плохо точит, люфт шпинделя огромен, зато выглядит красиво, мда

[@x84pav84x]

А что нужно сделать, чтобы он ровно точил? Обычно подшипники меняют, но тут, кажется, втулки только.

Neat little lathe! Looks plenty sturdy for it's purpose and very tidy with the restoration. A needle descaler would be make short work of removing thick crust like at 9:00 mark. Even though sand blasting would still be needed to finish the work, it would be far quicker and sand contamination would be significantly reduced.

[@NoMoreVoxPops]

Hateful comments from some knobs. Who in their right mind is going to restore an old girl like this for serious professional fee-paying work? Who?!!... Surely anyone capable of restoring a machine like this, to its original condition, isn't going to use it for serious work. Moreover, with such high skill sets surely they'd be working on or focusing on high end lathes to restore and work with, the pretentious sarcastic so and so's! This lathe restoration is a lovely aesthetic example. At that level you've done a smashing job restoring it from scrap. But I believe that was your sole intention for the work done. I've decided to comment as the son of a Miller. I've inherited dad's occasional metal turning lathe he used at home. It was absolutely, absolutely knackered when he bought it second hand. I was going to scrap it then saw a Chinese lady restore an old clapped out lathe in China I her back garden. This motivated me to do something similar to Dad's old lathe. However, I had no idea which model it was until I chanced on your smashing restoration presentation. Now I know approximately the model it is, I can begin to look into it more enthusiastically. You even restored the labels and I thought the finishing paint excellent as this seems a very typical Chinese Communist colour choice for machinery apart from light green they may have also chosen at the time. Thank you for this shared experience. It's much appreciated.
