The clarity of the oil and the fit + finish of the gears just tells us that it is a high quality bit of kit. It might not be a "forever" bit of kit but is sure isn't a short term bit either.

I was surprised at how much darker the second lot of oil to be drained was in comparison with the Head Stock oil. Cutting fluid even evaporates down here in Melbourne and if it is not topped up with water it can really gum up the piping and pump.

I worked in a machine shop at a shipyard. Their idea of preventive maintenance was to change oil once a year, That's all. And then they used the same oil in all the machines regardless of what the manufacturer suggested. Needless to say, we had a lot of breakdowns. And we couldn't convince management why.

Friend of mine works at the former SEASPAN works yard in North Vancouver which is now part of western Marine Group. When it was just SEASPAN, they did a lot of preventative maintenance. They made sure bearings got changed out on shafts before they fail and caused major interruption. Nowadays, Western Marine Group tends to run things until they fail causing problems and or injuries. When you operate the treadle to stop the lathe, does it automatically shut off with a magnetic switch whe the power is cut?

Back as a 1st year apprentice in the early 70s we used lathes built in the 1920s. At the end of each day we cleaned all the machines from top to bottom and turned off all the auto oilers. The machines were inspected and our instructors could find the tiniest speck anywhere. Each fault cost 10 cents, doesn’t sound much but when you’re getting $21.80 a week, yeah it adds up. Full testing was once a week and the lathes, although quite old measured between 3 and 5 thou over 4ft. Not too bad for apprentices and old machines. Cheers.

Something many don't understand about being self employed, holidays are often a time to catch up on things you can't do while the business is open. Maintenance, paperwork, rearranging the shop, replacing/upgrading equipment, things that would otherwise impact deliverables to customers. Being self employed and and the main force behind anything that gets done means minimal time off.

there's something incredibly therapeutic about servicing/cleaning a machine (when it's not an urgent thing) thanks for the informative content guys. It's great to see that you even address the jobs you don't need to worry about, and point out what would be done if it were a pressing issue. side note 4:42 just a lil bit dead, should get another 12 years out of it no sweat (b^-^)b

I really find it is so rewarding to see you taking care of the machine. Giving it service also give you the opportunity to look at areas that is maybe not inspecteded so often. Well taken care of machines work better and last longer. I take it for granted that the V-belts you fitted are a matched set. Greetings from Sweden.

Nice maintenance Curtis. The only thing I miss is a refractometer for measuring the oil percentage in the coolant 😊.

Thanks for another great video. I always wondered what was in the head stock, it's "just" a transmission! ;) don't know why that's a surprise. Homey seemed just a bit awestruck for bit with that monster bone! LOL! Thanks!

I'm a HUGE advocate for maintaining and caring for my tools and equipment. Like ADHD type care. What ever I have I worked hard for and I'm not rich. SO I am thankful for what I have and need it to last as long as possible. Same with my whole shop. I keep it squeeky clean. Shoot now that I think of it, I am a clean freak. cause i don't touch a project that's dirty and greasy without cleaning it extensivly first, pressure washing etc.

I'm the same, Rob. Can't stand working on anything filthy. I clean it first and THEN I work on it! And like you, I take care of my tools. I'm not rich either, I'm 75 years old, and my tools have to last till I drop dead! lol You can eat off my work bench, that's how clean I keep my shop! :)

I have the little brother to this lathe (AL-335) from H & F, and can confirm that they are pretty good value for money. I only turn things for bikes, not excavators, so can get away with a smaller one :) I wouldn't mind a Colchester tho' . . . .

That machine has to be one of the best maintained and cared for machines in the industry. But then, I'd bet every machine in that shop are likewise among the best cared for machines in their industry.
