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 .

[@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.

@@Hereford1642 Il faudrait gratter les coulisses (banc) mais cela demande de l’expérience ….je ne pense pas que ce tour resservira à fabriquer des pièces de grandes précisions…….🤔

[@Hereford1642]

@@jpg224 En Franglais:- Premier chose c'est le twist dans les coulisses. Vous voulez un 'level' de precision. Deuxieme - Correctez vous le Tailstock Droit/Gauche si c'est possible. Apres, gratter les coulisses. Mais, aujourd hui, c'est bon pour fabriquer les tapers de grand precision. Je parle le Franglais tres bon Je pense.

[@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.

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.

Gorgeous job! Now I need to go buy one, figure out how to use it, & restore it, to feel like good about myself! Very inspiring work sir.

[@georgebrown8312]

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.

[@kv2315]

You really know your stuff! Especially the part where you are welding cast iron! Very well done!

[@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?

[@garytreible8950]

A first rate restoration. This was a pleasure to watch.

[@Ghadiali]

I loved to see you work on that lathe, you did an awesome job of it. 💖

Aesthetic and functioning nearly perfectly. That is a really nice bit of work!

[@CeesMaas]

Very nice restoration! Craftsmanship combined with an artistic eye! Enjoyed it very much.

[@hamcheeseenterprises6975]

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

[@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 🇦🇺

[@canonsonico3752]

Nice job buddy! Keep on the good work

[@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.

[@KVshich]

Да кому это надо? Сдреднеазиатская рестоврация, она такая. Помыть и покрасить и всё становится новым.

[@robkarnosh117]

好好 Well done sir. You brought it back to life and I hope this lathe brings you years of service.

[@paulorth2251]

My kudos for the superior craftsmanship you displayed bringing this back to life. Thanks for sharing 😂

[@terryrogers1025]

Very nice restoration of the lathe. Especially liked some of the component parts you made for the lathe, that was an exceptional piece of craftsmanship. Enjoyed this video immensely, thank you.

[@JShel14]

Picked up an ancient Soutbend Junior lathe in about the same shape as this. (managed to source a tailstock). I'd say I'm halfway through, and your work has inspired me to keep pushing!

[@Ded_mechanic]

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.

[@vanishs3173]

@@x84pav84x Поменять втулки, не?

[@bloodytusk9897]

Т.е. на стадии когда этот рукожоп начал стамеской скоблить краску вас ничего не смутило? И вы продолжили спокойно просмотр ролика.) По факту этот процесс трудно назвать реставрацией, это скорее не очень умелый косметический ремонт, который сделан исключительно ради просмотров. Вы думаете автор знает что такое шабрение?)

[@ПавелХлопотников-щ7о]

Он просто сделал красивый намытый покрашенный кусок железа который к работе не имеет ни какого отношения он больше в музейные экспонаты годится.

[@EmmetPhD]

@@x84pav84x Втулки разрезные, посажены в конусы, гайками люфт выбирается вплоть до полной невозможности прокрутить))) Это даже лучше, чем подшипники, просто требует постояннного хлопотного присмотра.

Superb work it's gonna last years now, very useful addition to a workshop

Looks to be a well made lathe worth the restore. Good job

[@kulebyakinjoe]

What a restoration, just like new. I too am reviewing these machines after restoration

[@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.
