You’ve put a lot of time and effort in this rebuild Stuart. It’s made an interesting series. Bet you’ll be happy when it’s done, and the chips start to fly. Cheers Nobby

Very nice work sir. I’m sure you are getting tired working on it, but you will be very happy when you are done.

Great result there Stuart . Cheers 👍👍👍

Question, in the videos I see diagrams of the various parts you mill, 10:06 in this video's case. Are you getting those from the manufacturer or designing those up yourself?

That should give you years of trouble free service. 👍

This aggression will not stand, man!

When I sit down to watch a video on UA-cam, whether yours, or any of the other 150 channels I subscribe to, I watch the entire video Start to end. It doesn't matter how long it is. When a content creator takes the time to film and edit a video, I am going to take the time to watch it. I usually learn something new from the video, as I did by watching your video today. Thank you Stuart.

Striving to make the part the best you can is always the best approach in my opinion. Great result.

Gday Stuart, excellent work I say, well worth the effort mate, cheers

Great attention to detail there Stuart, you get out what you put in, excellent job. Now some advice about using telescopic gauges ( sometimes referred to as Snap Gauges ) for a good reason. Ideally you need to place the gage in the hole at a slight angle, put slight tension on the locking screw. You then straighten the gage until it Snaps out of the bore, this will give you a much more accurate dimension than how you were trying to do it by "feel". By having it oversized and at an angle to start with, is that when you straighten it, the cylinders compress until it reaches the high point of the bore, then "snaps" out. Providing you have put sufficient pressure on the locking screw, the measurement will remain. It will take you a bit of practice to get to know just how much to tighten the clamping screw. Too tight and you will have a job to get the gauge to "snap" out. Hope this helps. Kindest Regards from Australia.

I got a cheap stand for the mirometer for boring bar measurements saves juggling them

I enjoy the longer videos with voice over added at the end. I feel the operation of the machine tool requires close to full concentration by the operator, and not be distracted by having to talk the viewer in real time. As another viewer just commented, those that don't have the time of the inclination to watch the whole thing can skip through specific sections. I'm enjoying watching the restoration of your mill, I love seeing what is possible, and the seeing the many different ways of 'skinning the cat' to properly restore a worn machine back to proper working order.

hi Stuart nicely explained, as for long or short videos, detailed or not so detailed, you will never please all of the peolpe all of the time. I just go with my gut and what suits me, if anyone wants to know more and i've omitted it, i will willingly help anyone with more info at anytime, if anyone wants less then they can just skip through the video. Keep on keeping on👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 see you next time regards Kev

good video stuart

Telescoping gages are perfectly acceptable for these types of measurements. A dial bore gage is even better, once set up with a suitable ring or gage block stack. Might I suggest tilting the telescoping gage slightly in the hole and then snugging the lock and gently pulling it thorough the bore. This is the accepted method for using telescoping gages. If you want to test your method, get a suitable ring gage from EBay of a known size and practice measuring the ring gage until you can repeat the measurement reliably time after time with the telescoping gage. This was how Apprentices were trained back in the 70's at most Navy Yard"s that I worked in. Practice like this will help you immensely.

Sorry to hear about Oskar, looked to be quite the companion around your place.

Nice work sir. That looks like a really nice machine.

Sorry to hear about Oskar. Loosing a best friend is always hard. Looking sharp in that ball cap. 👍

I now know where my tape measure is!🥲

Nice repair! You will enjoy having that little press, the whole neighborhood uses the one I have🙂

Sorry to hear of the loss of your workshop companion, they ask so little and give so much and leave a big hole when they go. I said never again but lasted 2 days before looking at dog rescue sites...

It sure is a nice puzzle. The kind of jobs I like to do.

Sorry for your loss Stuart. I know the feeling. Good progress on the mill. Soon be back together. Cheers Nobby

Oskar, the goodest of boys.

You are correct on the quill clock spring. So many people set it to snap back. It is supposed to be neutral balance thing. Nice job on the reassembly. Lots of fiddly parts.

Gday, great job mate, cheers

Great video Stuart and your product placement is so subtle I almost missed it on my racing horse. Do have a spare tape measure? On a more sobre note. RIP Oskar

We never truly own such machine tools. Providing they are properly maintained and repaired when necessary, they will outlive us mere mortals. Nice to see the current custodian of this mill (Stuart) will be leaving it in 'pucker' working order for the next custodian, all while documenting the does and don'ts for others that have to follow the same path for their mills.

Farewell Oskar ❤

RIP Oskar

Got tape measures?

Good to see the head back on 😀

I just checked on those Edge Technology tap wrenches. $50 USD, so that'll be around $75 Australian and then shipping on top which might be another $75 if they even ship to Oz. They do look nice though. We here in the colonies miss out on some nice tools. Regards, Preso

Looks like that will do the job ! Cheers 👍

Laughed out loud when Picard popped up! The endless debate: is it scraptonium or stuffalloy? We may never know. Nice video!

Great video Stuart😀. I laughed at 'Scraptonium' and 'Stuff-alloy' 😂. A new tool, the hydraulic press will come in useful...once in a while, ha ha. We all find ourselves buying 'essential tools' for this job or that...what fun that is...to have an excuse, I mean 😉😂

I think this was the best solution Stuart. Flame weld would be an expensive option and building up with weld could distort the part. Nice result in the end. ATB Nobby

looks like a win to me. Nice job!

Brilliant. I just purchased a Weiss lathe with DRO and was scratching my head because the DRO scale blocks access to the locking screw exactly as per your setup. This is a really good solution. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Hi Stuart, a very pragmatic repair and definitely the right choice to let the video run time match the detail you wanted to cover. Cheers Paul

Very nice job Stuart, extremely well done, video documentation and explanations of what, why and how were spot on. Don

But, if you don't have a press you have to improvise... :)

Looking good. Longer content with detail is always better in my opinion.

Great solution, enjoyed the format.

I've never seen a split collar used for such a repair, a rather sweet solution Stuart :)

Great video and the longer version is much better

A brave repair, very well executed, and a good result! We are of the generation where longer was usually better, and who is number1? Phil

good job stuart

great solution Stuart where there's a will there's a way regards Kev (UK)

Gday Stuart, that was a perfect result, nicely done and enjoyed the longer format mate, cheers
