[@Gkuljian]

This was really interesting. I restored a Deckel FP-3, and learned about taper pins. Can't wait to see the 2 apeed idea.

That lathe is after this work better as she (he ) was on building in the factory. Greetings from Germany.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yes it will be

[@Chromevulcan]

The only part I don't like is watching the original badging go. But I'm glad you're taking such great care in the restoration, great work.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah. They are restored and will go back but at the end.

[@ypaulbrown]

I love the way you capture what you are doing with angle of camera.....well done Kyle

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks Paul

[@bobweiram6321]

It's fascinating how some machine's individual parts scale perfectly with size.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yes indeed

[@edsmachine93]

Very interesting Kyle. That rear cover/housing came off hard. Glad it did not break. Wow that tail stock is heavy. Nice job with the needle scaler. I need to get one of those. Have a good weekend. 👍

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks. Now I realize those taper pins had holes tapped for extraction. Even so might still have been totally stuck but hey you learn something new everyday.

[@procyonia3654]

Oh thats going to be a good one, 2 speed tail conversion be interesting to see how you do that

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

It’s done. Video next week. Spoiler it works

[@procyonia3654]

@@VanoverMachineAndRepair oh i am sure it does work! Can't wait to see how you engineered it I have 2 lathes I thought doing it on would be the cats ass, but never made the time

[@jamesriordan3494]

Was there no filler on that casting, or did needle scaler just make it appear that way? Wonderfully massive 🙌

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

There was tons of filler lol. Maybe hard to tell. Some areas are worse than others

[@rrsteamer]

Nice job! And no, a follower rest is very much necessary even with 4140ht as with the length it have flexed in the center giving you much chatter and variation in the profile due to insert cutting edge wear or chipping. Just for info, if you were to do a lead screw, lead tolerance over a 12 inches would be around 0.005” if not less. But since this a tail stock screw, lead can be a little less “ tight” and the main consideration being the length of the tail stock nut in the quill (interference within the thread engagement male to female. As for thread lead, the main difference being between cut Vs ground threads. While I don’t have any machines with ball screws or digital read out, I can see the benefit of those betterments!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Indeed I am sure it’s less than. 005 of run out
