How to replace the cables on a 10ft Minn Kota Talon This video is the duplicate of a video I posted years ago that recently became unviewable on my channel. Its odd that it worked for so many years. I didn't delete the old video because it had useful comments that I cant transfer to this video. If you would like to view the comments from the original video go to this link.

Very slick!
Great content. Vise stop should be on solid jaw. Also, end mills should only be used in a collet. Beautiful design though. I have 1340 PM lathe. 43 yrs in the trade and now teaching in an engineering school.
Do have any videos of this lathe running
There are some videos on my channel where I used the lathe mixed with milling work. Here is one that is mostly lathe work. ua-cam.com/video/B6_kdVkMKv8/v-deo.html
that is very well done !
Hi there!! how do you aling the table easily have any trick? thanks
If you are talking about re-aligning the table to the mill head if you have to move it while working on a project. Here is a good video from another UA-camr that shows the easiest way. I use his Technik. Hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/pT1NG4bQfMc/v-deo.htmlsi=lBc2grfwI3t5XHYd
It looks to me like you're adding a chamfer, and not a radius. Great result on that handle though--really polished up nicely!
I think I would have center-drilled all the holes first., to be honest. Never can tell when the power might flicker...and then you're out of luck, in terms of the grid pattern stored in the DRO's memory. Vanishing electrons and all that... At least if you center drill them, you can always take the thing to a sensitive drill press and finish the process.
It's a shame that he doesn't have it in production yet. I'd order one tonight if I could for a job I need it for. :-( . Will have look for a optical one.
Speed that lathe up, dayum 😂
Factual, useful. Thank you. The tool history was interesting. The delivery was great. Not even trying to entertain me with banter and jokes. Just the facts, ma'am. Thank you for that too.
Great video, thanks for your work
Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
Thanks
Nice job, Thanks for sharing! White lithium grease on the bending dies works the best for a smooth bend!
Thanks for the comment. I will try the lithium grease next time.
Wow, HF must have improved the design of their blast cabinet... The one I have, from about 6 years ago or so, leaks like a sieve with DRY media--I can't even begin to fathom how much of a mess things would be with a wet spray. The water rinse idea was a great solution though.
I removed all the sealing tape that came with the cabinet when it was new and not assembled and used GE Silicone on all the seams when I assembled it.
What software are you using to display the camera data and add a set of crosshairs?
The software engineer that wrote the program and designed the system is still working on the patent and manufacturing details. I was lucky to get a prototype. last I heard the engineer that designed the system got bogged down with extra work at his job at ran into a delay on the camera project.
Took me 3 sets of cables, but i finally got it! I couldn’t have done it without your video thanks🤙🏾🤙🏾
Thanks for the comment. Glad the video helped.
I thought I saw in another video where you mentioned you live in Florida? Apparently you guys don't have any gators in your neighborhood...
One small Gator, One Coyote that we know of and many Deer. Our Community owns 23 acres of conservation land. I'm lucky to live next to it.
Nice job and thanks for the videos. I am considering purchasing the same lathe in australia and was wondering what size quick change tool post you are using. As far as i can tell a bxa size aloris clone fits these machines.
Thanks for the Comment. Yes it is a BXA 250-222 tool post. I ordered it from Precision Matthews along with the Lathe. The Tool Post fit the Lathe perfectly with no modifications.
We used to live in Titusville, on the east coast. Went through 5 or 6 hurricanes in about 8 weeks, back in 2004. Went without power for several two- or three-day periods during that time. Wonderful in the winters down there, but miserable in the heat--especially when you're without power. We didn't have a whole-house generator back then. Ironically, now we do...but we're in Wisconsin. LOL. Nice milling fixture plate. Very nice result.
I am about 7 Miles east of Tampa Bay. Not in a flood Zone. We mostly just get wind damage and power outages from the hurricanes. We caught the edge of the eye wall with Milton. Thanks for the comment on the fixture plate.
Good to hear you got your power back on. Your Pole saw lives again. Great when you can do your own repairs. Cheers Tony
Thanks
Very professional! I'm glad you got it working again!
Thanks
I have zero need for a port-a-power unit, but this was a VERY enjoyable video to watch! I used to work in the electric shop of a paper mill, during my college years back before the turn of the century. We used this sort of a pump to power knock-out dies ("Greenlee dies") quite frequently. The power units were almost identical--so this video really brought me back to a time about 40 years ago. Great job on the rebuild. Now if you would have done a full re-paint as well...lol.
Funny you mentioned that. I have no need for it either. I used them a lot at work, but I'm retired now. Maybe some day I will find a use for it. Thanks for the comment.
Great result--looks like a nice lathe!
Thanks
👍
Excellent work 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks
Easily got my thumbs up! Was no stupid music, we got to hear the actual sounds of the processes, narrated by a real person and not ai, and it's just an overall down-to-earth video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Great video. This looks great. I’m sure you will use it a lot.
Thanks. Going to use for my next video.
Beautiful finish with your face mill - does it have inserts made for aluminum in it?
It is a budget 3 inch endmill I purchased from amazon. I used the same inserts that it came with. I believe they are for steel and stainless steel, but they work great on aluminum. I couldn't be happier with this endmill. Thanks for the comment. a.co/d/i2OqhFt
Nice job. 👍
Thanks
Thanks for sharing! I'm planning a similar rack, but for a DIY plywood backsplash on a smaller lathe. Definitely borrowing some ideas from your design.
What's your opinion of this lathe? Would you recommend it? Thx also, did you look at other American made lashes like the Clausing or South Bend as used? Thx again
I am very happy with this lathe and would recommend it. I also have a South Bend 9A Lathe, but wanted something a little bigger. Precision Matthews sells both Taiwan and Chinese made lathes. I went with the Taiwan made lathe because of the better quality. The 1236T is the perfect size for my residential 3 car garage. I considered a used American made lathe, but most of them were too big and expensive to move and I didn't want to take a chance on getting something that I might have try to find replacement parts later if needed, so I chose New. The delivery process was a breeze with Precision Matthews. Thanks for the comment.
I left my Talon down when I pulled out of the water. I foolishly pushed the up and down buttons to try and get it to raise, even though the spike was bennt sideways from pulling it up the concrete ramp. I finally backed the boat back in the water, but it would only raise a bit and not lower, then lower a bit and not raise. I managed to get it up high enough to drive home. I took it off the boat, took off the control cover, and found cable spaghetti. After searching for a while, I finally found and watched this video.Thank you so very much for sharing this video. It gave me the hope and confidence that I could repair my Talon. I bought the cable kit and went to work. Over the course of several weeks, slowly working on it small bits at a time, I finally installed the cable and put everything back together. Your video saved my Talon. Although it was a bit tricky, and I messed up a couple steps and had to start over, in the end, my Talon is back on my boat and working perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Your welcome. Glad the video helped and thanks for the comment.
I just love DROs. I don’t have a mill yet, but it’s a eye opener
Nice job. One of those would fit my mill. A job for the future. Cheers Tony
Thanks, It was surprisingly easy to install.
Is everyone else’s video just pictures with noise in the back round??
After reading your comment, I tried to watch my video on UA-cam. It did the same thing. I don't know what happened to it. I will contact UA-cam. Meanwhile I will repost the video if I still have it saved. Thanks for the comment and letting me know.
Found the file and the video is uploading now. It may take a little while since it is a large file.
Sorry it took so long. I had to reconstruct the entire file. Its reposted on my channel now. I didn't delete this video because some of the comment could be useful to someone repairing their talon.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the spindle lock used for? I never felt the need for that, so I really don't know. Also, I would do something about that wobbling chuck. It ruins the impression of your work seeing that the mill chuck is wobbling that much.
ua-cam.com/video/W50zUfr9sWA/v-deo.html Go to this video. You can fast forward to around the 26 minute mark. I needed to lock the spindle to prevent the tool bit from rotating while I scribed indexing marks. Thanks for the comment. I probably should have linked the 2 videos when I posted the spindle lock. I know about the chuck. its irritating to watch. Its drills true but the outer locking ring wobbles. I have since replaced it and actually replaced the mill.
I set up the bit for metal 118 degree with 50% of drill diameter overhang. I then use the adjustment on the base to gently kiss the grinding wheel for the first pass. I rotate bit keeping all settings same, grind again, then i use the adjustment knobs at the back to move the drill forward, grind the flute that i ended with, rotate, adjust again when required etc etc. this ensures even grind with minimal heat. Also the 50% diameter rule ensures sufficient relief from the cutting edges to prevent friction heat build up during drilling. This works just fine for me this way. I have a dedicated grinding wheel that a dress regularly with a diamond to maintain the surface. I just love this tool, cheap and does the job very well.
O porcărie, am cumpărat așa ceva și sunt dezamăgit de acest dispozitiv!
Geez....that's a lot of work, I bought 12, 3d printed ones off of Ebay for $40, & they fit & work great, right on the backsplash.
True, It was a lot of work. I thought about buying an already made set, but I enjoy making things and sharing on UA-cam. Now that I'm retired, It keeps me Busy. Thanks for the comment.
@@mdw66799 I understand that completely, keep up the good work.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos, I just ordered the PM1340GT , from precision, a big upgrade from my Grizzly 10x22. Are they as good as they say. Hope so I got it paid for and ordered
I couldn't be happier with my PM1236T. Because of limited space in my garage I went with the smaller lathe. I think you will be very happy with your new lathe.
My brother shared this video with me we both have a need to build a box for our meat grinders thank you for such well thought out video and good filming skills
@@GeorgiaRidgerunner thanks
That's nice, but you should install an air dryer/cooler system between each compressor and the tank. That will keep all moisture out of your tank and air lines.
Nice I like your work. I may borrow your idea for my lathe. Regards from Townsville Australia
Brilliant setup sir! Would you mind making one for me?
I really like this set up, it's well thought out and executed and I will deffo be making similar modifications to my newly built machine. I'm in uk so finding all the plastic pipe fittings is a tad challenging at the moment but I'm getting there - this is all new to me so a big learning curve. One thing I have noticed on many of these videos is that everyone seems to have the air and slurry etc enter the cabinet on the RHS, now this is not a problem but looking at the way the hoses go when being used by a right handed person they come in then bend 180* then go back the way they came then turn to point to the centre of the cabinet where the work piece is, this seems counter productive to me, if they entered on the left side of the cabinet and came along the back of the front of the cabinet they would naturally curve around to the centre towards the workpiece without straining to bend the pipes. What do others think of this idea? for left handers the usual way works well.
Never really thought about it, But it makes sense what you are saying about the hose entry. That would be better for a right handed person like myself. I used the factory holes that were in the cabinet for the hoses. If I were to do it again I would plug those holes and come in from the other side as you suggested. Luckily the Flexzilla brand hoses I used are extremely flexible. Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Very good idea.
Great speed handle build. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
@@homemadetools Thank You
Very good job I enjoyed watching the video thanks
Thanks
Beautiful work
Thank You. I needed the spindle lock to be able to scribe increment lines on a dial, without the spindle moving. Here is the link to how I used it. ua-cam.com/video/W50zUfr9sWA/v-deo.html
Very nice work, sir!
Thanks
