Thanks

A lovely radio, well done sir.

Hi Jon. I've just finished this fix on my f11. Would not have had the confidence to do so without this great video. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make it.

Thank you. You are so kind.

Brilliant, efficient, simple, much appreciated.

Thank you for sharing.

Very clever mister. That looks like something I would need in the future. Great. Thanks for sharing the plans.

Thanks

Thanks Jon 👍for the ANGLESET drawings

Thanks!

Thank you

My shop Super used to say, "That looks good! Did you deburr it?" Good job, mate!

Oh, and one more thing. The shifter with all the cobbled facing and burrs? Looks like that may have slipped on the arm and was riding against a gear. Mine has two ways of keeping it still on the end of the shifter arm. So looks like the clone had some shortcuts done to it.

It's now 4yrs. later since you presented this video of experience. And I've just begun this same journey on my Bolton ZX45, of which yours is a clone. Having been a Bench Mechanic of many years, I noted a number of tricks I could have suggested had I crossed your path back then. But I just bought my mill last Summer. But currently, I wouldn't have gotten into a rebuild just yet, had I not done something stupid by leaving an quill wrench on the splined top shaft. And turning on the motor!!!!!! Boom! I bent the shaft next to the quill/spindle! $*^%(&^*))*)))!!!!!!! You would think with decades of shop experience, that I was more seasoned than that? So am now in a forced rebuild, which is probably a good thing for this one-owner machine. The guy wasn't rough on it. But I doubt he ever did much maintenance either. So your tutorial on the disassembly has been quite informative. And though our machines have different labels, they are the same machine, which same bearings. Although mine aren't cheap China bearings. I think it was assembled on the troubling Island now in the news. I was curious how you were going to remove the roller bearing race. Basically, we used a similar approach in the shop when I was a much younger pup. We would grind a groove in the hardened race, then use a small chisel and hammer; smacking the starter groove. It then breaks easily, and out she comes Bearings with "plastic" seals are usually Neoprene. They keep dust out. The bearings with metal shields will allow oil to flow freely into them. So you were correct in cleaning the barrel of the quill system. Amazing how lax their installers were when building your machine! Thanks again for the info!

Hello Jon, I would like to know what the appropriate preload is (in kilos of force or Newton), for this type of spindles for HBM 45. Thank you.

Hi Jon. Are you still doing youtube?

I have similar kit. I did not find any useful information about the gas consumption online. Propane is cheap, but oxy cost here around 20€. I bought kit anyway, it was 100€ incl. shipping. Yesterday, I silver brazed rusted Suzuki Inazuma 750 gasoline tank. It was like 500mm of continuous beed,10mm wide in bottom corner. I was brazing with 0.8mm nozzle, pretty small but hot flame. I was done after 30-40 minutes of brazing. I saved a lot of money with this gastank repair, and I still have gas in bottles. So for small home repairs, brazing copper pipes, heating seized nut on bolt, brazing small broken parts it is great choice. Dont know how much oxy left in the bottle, but my gastank job is done flawlesly, so Im pretty happy.

My problem is that it is intermittent and can take many hours to empty the air. Sometimes it can hold for days. Question 1. Can I access the wires going the valve somewhere and disconnect them on a day that it seems to be completely shut? Question 2. How can I can empty the air manually before removing the hoses? Hope anyone can answer :)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi John can i asked where you managed to get the part please

In high-school drafting the terminology was a little different. Baseline dimensioning And point to point dimensioning And each has their time and place.

I am extremely worried about your absence....

This is the one thing I have struggled with in manual machining thanks u so very much

@paul-y2n1d 1 second ago does this automatically start up when pressure drops ?

Mine just died The controller board cooked it self on low effort tasks

can it work a cavity wax injection gun?

But how do the standards know if they are square

Bravo! You have confirmed some thoughts I have had for some time. Thanks!

just had the same issue with my F07, this is a great fix and i hope mine is suffering with the same issue...

You have done a beautiful job on the reconditioning of you shaper. I love the orange and dark gray paint job. It really made the machine pop out it your shop. Only one negative comment. You have a lot of paper items very close to where the hot chips may land on the paper products.

Orange mostly with Dark Gray highlights and trim.

Classic build! Was a final project in 1st year machinist class, but instead of milling out the body, used a bandsaw to rough cut out the waste. Saved a lot of time milling. Used an ACME thread. Case hardened body and jaw before final grind to shape.

Hi John. Hope you survived the new years scottish weather! I've had a stab at drawing the pen. Would you like a copy of the plan? Pete

Hope things are well, hope you had a good xmas and a happy new year when it comes. Hopefully see some new videos soon.

Thanks!

I am not interested in following someone who cant be bothered to clean their machine.

Merry Christmas John mate. Cracking project. Really impressed. Don't suppose you would share the plans so I can have a go?

Good video. I made a couple of notes for my own home shop.

Thanks for sharing ! Would love to see this same applied to the lathe your instruction with the cardboard part turned on a light for me Thanks !!

Just wondering what tools are needed for the job? Including removing compressor from the car. Thanks!

Great review, thanks! Tomorrow I'm getting one of these machines because there's one for sale at the local Lidl supermarket for just about the same money that you paid for yours. Hopefully it'll still be there tomorrow morning. Looking forward to start working with it.👍

I have the Likaci brand heater. Last night, I had an E8 error, which in their manual, is the glow plug failure. When I pulled the original plug, it was cleaner than yours(only been running for 3 weeks)......I just replaced the plug and screen and it powered up, no problems. One thing I found is that if the clicking is too loud, try moving the hose around at the bottom near the air intake. Mine was very loud after putting back together.....I could only take a few minutes of the sound. I then stuck my finger underneath(being careful to NOT get BURNED) found the fuel hose and pushed it back.......the sound went from very loud to almost non-existent. The noise is not always the internal clicking of the pump, but rather the fuel line slapping metal inside the case. The fuel line moves quite a bit while the pump pushes fuel through it.

One very important point that you didn't emphasize is that the ABS and INC datum are totally independent of each other. This means that although you use ABS coordinates to set an INC datum, if you subsequently adjust the ABS datum the INC datum will not change (like it does for an SDM datum). For example, if your part shifts and reset the ABS datum, the old INC datum is no longer valid and also needs to be reset (if you are using an SDM datum, the SDM datum is automatically adjusted to match the new ABS datum).

I’ve got the exact same rotary table but mine had the dividing plates already on it, it’s a bit strange as the dividing plates have a cover over them and it’s only got one plate but it’s double sided.

Any horror stories for this comp ,Anyone used it for a Hookah set up i.e 30 feet under boats with air filter

My x5 f15 only drops on the right side and not the left side, so why would that might be?

Very nice work. I need to make one myself.

Jon, a year later, and I've thought of a question... Would it matter if the ball bearing had a flat ground into it?

Thanks!
