Built in the early 2000s but still looks like a 70's soviet war machine, the Russians have a great sense of style
They also build very robust equipment, from what I've seen. When it works, it damn works!
it has to work not look pretty :D:D . at my former company we had something similar but older and from cssr times :D
I have never seen a Russian lathe that I didn't instantly want. Strong, functional, and absolutely no bullshit about them!
Yeah! If you accidentally receive an another installation guide, this became a T-28 insted of a lathe... :D
@@EFazy 3 x T-28 with spare parts
One of the most well known Russian Lathes of all time.
@Fred Flintstone
Wagon wheel sets, for example))) I was worked on 7 meters modification of such monster, once upon a time, 30 years ago...

An PT117, could be from Ryazan, with a Fagor 8040 or 8055. Good simple to operate CNCs with generally two methods of programming, a graphical interface for operator programming shown at 10:22. Or switched over to conventional ISO part program execution with offline CAM programming.
@@ngt84 only old people and those who are unhealth. wow just like the flu... must be so nice to be a sheep to believe everything spoon fed to you without doing any research and having a less than surface level understanding comprehension of the subject mater in question
@@mitri5389 Mitri dont get baited it was an irony :). I have studied about the scamdemic propably more than you... You have to show composure to go against corruption
It would be real interesting to see a video of the movement and transport of this lathe when someone buys it. The size and weight of it seems like that would be very difficult.
It's actually pretty easy and simple operation. I will make video it when the time comes.
Nah it's pretty easy, cranes are used or forklifts for stuff this heavy
The Russian engineers show up with a couple T-34-85s and drag it out with some chains
And then there was me, struggling to move my 200kg mill and lathe, and there is Lauri saying this 60t behemoth move is easy.
LOL...bigger machines move big MACHINE! Go make a hole in the ground with tiny stick!
I love when Timo makes an appearance. You two work so well together in the shop.
A favorite video for me featuring Timo is the one where he cut a hole in the back wall of the shop to fit a really long workpiece into one of the smaller lathes. 👍😁
My favorite thing to see made with this machine was Timo making the aerial acrobat ring for Anni. Prrritti Guud.
I forgot to mention that use case for the machine :D
@@Beyondthepress Another use case for lathes is to hurl work pieces through windows in the danger zone. You know...for improving air flow in the shop. 😁
@@WoodworkerDon wow so what did you mostly make wheels for?
WHAT a machine. I love how it is only ~20 years old yet it LOOKS so much older, simple, mechanical, will last forever. Unlike most modern stuff that looks so fancy and takes up less space but will be in the landfill in 10 years or less :(
My wife would be VERY upset if I bought this..... BUT I WANT IT xD
I praise the Russians for this. I've worked with a few over the years. They tend to be truly remarkable engineers.
My favorite thing is that theres isnt not a single plastic piece in the casing
@@phisx333 No, it has bakelite balls on every lever. Lovely bakelite)))
Tbf a 24 foot piece of metal is either well built or crushed by its own size
I witnessed a 20 inch chuck fly apart on a CNC lathe, at 1800 RPM, around 26 years ago. Frightened the crap out of me then and still haunts me today! I think if I saw that one spinning that fast I'd run a mile lol
You "witnessed"!
"Aleck Baldwin"! On a empty lathe!
and now you can't own a lathe!
*Cuz he is smarter than you!
@@brianwaiting7899 not sure what you’re smoking there but it must be good. I was running a 4 operation CNC line, machining alloy car rims. A piece of the chuck broke away from around a finger jaw, as I was walking past it. It smashed the external door off it’s hinges, and sounded like a major explosion, 100 times louder than any gun shot.
HA - exactly the sort of reason why '...watching things spin on the lathe..." scares the CRAP out of me - HA. Have a safe and nice day. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
@@timjohnun4297 so, you was operating the lathe and saw it break to pieces! That's all I wanted to know
That brought me back to my childhood :ø)
My dad had a machine/forging workshop and was turning rudder tribes for our local ship yard. We also got an extra huge lathe at one point, I don't remember the length but it was loooong. And heavy. We even had to install a power line directly from the high voltage transformer to the shop, as every time it was turned on it would reset the computers at the neighbors who had a computer software development company.
Ideal for turning up T72 barrels and road wheels :-)
I miss your lathe work/machining videos, they were interesting 👍🏼
I have been too busy to make those lately but I might do more next year after I have sorted out couple work projects.
@@Beyondthepress We'll all keep reminding you. So many people really enjoy those. 👍
Wow, what a wonderful machine! I bet you’ll have tears in your eyes when it leaves your workshop. Absolutely love it!!!
Many years ago I lived in Tallinn, Estonia. And I have been to Helsinki several times. Now I live in Russia. I am sure that we can all live in peace, regardless of nationality. I wish you and your father good luck and health. Happy New Year and Christmas holidays.
That is a great price for such a massive (and upgraded) machine.
Yeah, I'm surprised. I have no idea of heavy machinery prices, but I would have thought it was a lot more expensive than that.
You can often get a big lathe where I am for a song and dance. The secondary market is just so small and they are so hard to move. So often they get left outdoors and end up scraped 20 years later
Haha Lauri's comedic timing is perfect as always 👍 "we are good sales.. mens.. for the lathes"
i liked the hobbist suggestion :)
I've never run a lathe with more than about an 8 foot bed. What you have there is impressive.
That's a neat feature being able to adjust the back roller on the Steadyrest from the front.
My work takes me to a few engineering shops. One has a lathe that is only about 4 meters long in the bed, but the chuck is easily 2 meters wide. Among its uses is redoing the wheels for trains. It sits across the workshop from a very large large English made milling machine. Always great to see what a good machinist can do with them.
HA - "...that's 70-years of watching things spin on the lathe...'. Great to see you and your dad share a common passion (HA - watching things spin on the lathe). It is great to see a dad and his son share their passion for making things (HA - spinning on the lathe) - great video - thanks to both of you for the SMILES as well. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA. HA - as I never get to see snow here - please be sure to add some 'white' into a few videos over your WINTER so it helps to 'cool' my SUMMER a bit - HA - thanks. When I see the 'white snow' video - I will share a 'snow white' story of my mate that was born in FINLAND and now resides here - HA - I still laugh about the story about him starting his apprenticeship as a mechanic at 14-years of age in the middle of FINISH WINTER - HA - more of the story to come. HA - "..ait's a good hobbyist lathe for your garage..." -- HA - and I guess most wives would get angry about that "hobbyist lathe" arriving to be installed in the garage at home - HA. EUR137.0K - I assume (and I am not a machiner - HA - they scare the crap out of me) that the original cost of that machine would be MUCH more these days. SMILE
Good to see Lauri has given up UA-cam crazy videos and is back to regular machine shop work again.
I have been way too busy with business things to do any machine shop work or crazy UA-cam stuff. But I think I have more time for both next year and we have couple REALLY stupid projects with in couple next weeks :D
Speak for yourself :) I like the crazy stuff...well, I like both actually.
This is the sensible channel. Crazy stuff is on the _other_ channel 😘
This looks like the Stanko lathes that we have at my shop. If so, it’s no wonder that it’s still in great shape, those machines are bulletproof. Very cool that it was converted to a CNC as well!
"It's a good hobbyist lathe for your garage!"
😂😂😂
I learn something new every time I watch these videos. For example today I learned that Finnish has a technical term for 'thingy'.
I just measured my flat and it could fit if I leave the front door open but there might be a problem if my neighbours want to open their door
i have the same problem, and getting it up to the 4th floor might also be an issue.
@@levitated-pit Getting there probably isn´t that much of a problem, if you can take out part of an outer wall.
Staying there is the problem, once the crane sets it down, it´ll most likely end up in the basement a few seconds later.
HA - maybe it could become a great community building 'fixture' - HA - and help improve intercourse between neighbours - HA.
Congratulations to Dad! 👍
I also have my 50 yr badge in machining!
Hopefully we will be watching you through your next 30! 😎
I still want to have a lathe in my hobby workshop in my backyard, but this one is probably a bit overkill. Although just looking at such an awesome piece of heavy machinery is also very nice. Same as my 1890s belt driven camelback drill press. I sometimes just turn it on, and sit next to it with coffee and enjoy the sound.
I happen to have probably exactly what you want. I have an Atlas/Craftsman lathe with a 4 foot bed sitting in my garage floor. Do you have an email or something? It is actually in a video I posted a while back if you want to take a look. Here is a link to the video:
ua-cam.com/video/dHUVeaSb4lg/v-deo.html
I had one for three years. absolutely best thing i ever bought. It was not a large one but it was not a toy also. I had absolutely fantastic time learning it. i highly recommend you getting a lathe.
@@365Condoms well, I have an extra just laying in my garage floor, collecting dust.
@@365Condoms the one I use the most is my Atlas 618. It was a gift from a good friend. Drove 2 hours to pick it up for me. I need to level it correctly and it would be just spot on.
@@robertschemonia5617 its a shame it should be spinning metal. I used to like to "discover" items inside material. I reckon Brass was the most fun to turn.
Timo is the man. Shout out to Timo
AvE just needs to find a way to get this to Canada
He will dismantle it before even testing it.
Holy crap! @Abom79 this is your dream machine!
This is an impressive lathe. It deserves to create many applications in the future. Good luck selling it and thanks for the video.
I always fast forward past the ads. I can't believe I just watched a ten minute 'for sale' ad in its entirety! :)
I can see how your Dad is in his element explaining the features of the lathe; I remember just how big this lathe is from our visit in 2019.
What a BEAUTIFUL machine. A work of art. I was a machinist in my youth and still love old machines. Thank you.
A carbon copy of this machine is still in operation in my home town in Russia, I believe. Last time I saw it working, it held the 16MW air-separation compressor's rotor in it.
I'm recommending this to every fabricator/machinist I know personally. Good luck!
That's a cute little hobby lathe for the home workshop!
Ik heb dezelfde machine, ze zijn geweldig...! Grapje
Just in time for Christmas!
I hope the lathe finds a good home! The video about making the threads in that long roll is one of my favorite BTP videos.
I need this delivered to Florida immediately.
that steadyrest at 9:48 would be a lifesaver! what a cool design
Great FAGOR 8055 Control :-)) Greetings from Germany ;)
"your wife might get angry if you buy it." made my day
Perfect for all your watchmaking needs.
I feel like waterjet channel would appreciate this content
In Finland, you spin metal on a lathe
But in Soviet Russia, lathe spins YOU!
Whatever you guys do, do not google this. 🤮
...
Oh god...I've seen that video. RIP to that dude
@@Vilppy yep don't google this :D
DON'T
I'v seen a video of one of these things tear an entire human being apart in one. These machines are absolutely No Joke...
I have an 18" diameter by 1" thick aluminum disc that I need faced. I wish I lived near you guys so I could bug you 😉
Good luck selling the lathe, looks awesome.
mill it
A belt sander can work very well on aluminium
A lathe isn't the right tool for that job. A Blanchard Grinder is what you're looking for.
@@ParadigmUnkn0wn A lathe is a perfectly fine tool for doing that .......18" swing is not even that much
Really great explanation of your gigantic lathe. Some great features in the machine.
I always dreamed of doing even one part on a huge lathe like this. You and your father have both made some very good decisions over the years and I hope it made good money for your shop.
Also bought a Russian "Teknika" lathe in 2000 and I was very impressed with the precision and the quality. Mine was a bit smaller though... 500mm overall lengths but we almost didn't get it out of Russia because of it's precision it could have been used for "weapons manufacturing" ... yeah, that we usually do on long winter evenings - building working Mauser C96 replikas... *Anyway: good luck with the sale!*
Welcome to the world of of symmetrical sanctions. The manufacturer probably had to bribe somebody in the ministry to get that export permit.
@@toomaskotkas4467 Bingo. My thoughts exactly... and then there is the Mafia that wants a share and the Putin-Clan that's quick to formulate a "law" banning the export of lathes to Western countries when your property is next to a property that's owned by a person with red hair (actually, the last one is not as crazy as it sounds, such a law exists and it's only slightly different from what I made up here)...
i remember working on such a lathe :D
we mainly used it to get dirt off rollers
We had an attachment on it with a grinding machine driving up and down
What are you planning on replacing it with?
Gigantic Lathe 10,000,000.
i appreciate you much more after this video. Great video brother, cheers from Croatia
That much rotating mass at that speed is frightening.
lathes are the most dangerous machines
I've worked with much smaller lathes, but I have seen a lathe door (they are pretty solid) get blown out by a high RPM part. Some guys I worked with would leave the door half open...not this guy!
HA - I 110.0% agree with that comment. SCARES the CRAP out of me. Have a safe and nice day. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
I use to work for Heroux Devtek and loved watching landing gear parts being turned .... this was cool !!
It's crazy how little big industrial machines have actually changed since the early 1900's, with the big exception of CNC and electronics.
Unless we consider new additive 3D printing you always have to follow the same basic rules of taking the material away of the raw stock.
It's always necessary to cut or grind something and CNC is just a very precise replacement of human hand/eye coordination. :-)
Welding has changed dramatically too.
"This is a really easy machine to install in your shop. A strong floor is probably enough." I'm not quite at Timo's level.
you and your dad probably made tons of money together with that machine
that's really cool
thanks for sharing
Last time I saw a Russian lathe, I wish I hadn’t seen it.
Yeah..
@@alyx.6311 Didn’t end well for the poor guy operating it…
i had once visited a windmill factory, they had a lathe that makes this one look normal
Awesome !! Greetings from Australia
Temu is a ROCK STAR. Love the heavy-duty equipment episodes when Lauri explains the gear. Machining is such a cool trade. Good luck selling it! Are you getting a new one?
Use the machine with the smallest material you have. That would be fun. Like thraeding a M10 bolt in the bigest lathe you have.
_Abom79 has entered the chat_
"This is good hobbyist lathe for your garage" XD.
TBH 137,00 euros seems like a steal for this this thing! I only know American dollars well but seems like this machine plus a crane, prolly forklift, and racking to match would make for a million dollar plus a year business all by themselves provided you can find the work.
Beautiful lathe, I wish I had the space and funds. Thank you for demonstrating it!
Amazing, can you box it, gift wrap and ship it for Christmas, this is just what my wife needs.😆😍
Man i know i am super late but i bet AvE would love to finally have a proper lathe :P
would this be a good entry level lathe for a hobbyist watchmaker
I know of another video involving a Russian Lathe...
Omg 💀
@@bingus5906 bingus knows
@goronimus304 yeah how tf he go flinging around it
@@bingus5906 the idiot tried to reach over the spinning metal to grab a pair of gloves, and his loose jacket got caught in the lathe. cause of death was not the spinning but repeated blows to the head every time he went around I think.
@@goronimus304 damn
Ща ссылку дам Бербраеру. Мне сдается, самовар аккурат в переднюю бабку зайдет :)))
I can't imagine the size of the beast you're going to get to replace this🤯
When you buy one of these machines it's obviously for a long time, how difficult is it to retrofit the modern upgrades like CNC and coolant?
Retrofitting CNC to lathe isn't super complicated but you have to still manufacture quite a lot of custom parts and know what you are doing. For smaller machines I would reccomend just buying ready made machine but with large machine like this the frame is so expensive that retrofitting CNC is really good idea.
@@Beyondthepress Thanks Lauri!
The older the machine, the greater the difficulty. Considerations are the slideway friction properties and guidance plus transmission rigidity. The large high quality, high earning machines are doable, the others including little machines are best to be simply replaced. Also high quality machines have pretty good lubrication systems and sliding guard sets which can limit wear over time.
I wonder what is the smallest part you can reasonably turn on this lathe. I know it is made for huge parts that way several tons, but imagine making an M6 thread or something on this beast :D
The speed is only limiting factor with the smaller parts. M6 thread would be easy to do with this, just bit slower than with small machine since you cant spin the part fast enough for good feed speeds.
@@Beyondthepress That 1m Chuck rotating at 700rpm was plenty scary!
So much energy in there!
@@muh1h1 Actually that was 400rpm. 500rpm is the max for chuck and 700 for the machine!
@@Beyondthepress You are so cool to answer all these questions. I hope you find a buyer soon and good luck with future videos!
@@Beyondthepress M6 internal thread ... 8000mm long.
I'm just here after watching the Russian reddit lathe video
Would you recommend this for a beginner or should I buy right away a little bigger to be future proof?
Best to jump right in.
Does it fit in a Toyota Corolla? I'll come get it
Perfect machine to turn yourself into a human pretzel. Like that one poor Russian worker during his accident.
I seen that video… wasn’t much left after a few seconds. Scary how fast that happened. 😬
I bet TheMetalRaymond is interested in a small lathe like this, for his everyday needs.
To everybody wondering, I had a look at the website that's selling this, weight is 18600kg
Or the spec in the video at 2:57
Mind: >Blown!<
*JUST* a bit bigger than what we had at school
I would place that on 18 inches of concrete and 18 inches of compacted gravel if the ground is suitable, isolated too. 5/8 rebar wired together in box structures.
Definitely worth asking Cutting Edge Engineering Australia!
absolutely beautiful little machine
Impressive machine!
Very informative & persuasive sales video! It made me want to buy it, and i live in a small upstairs condo in USA 😅
my workshop is 9meters long, so perfect lathe for me :D
I didn't know "thingy" was a professional term in Finland too, here in America we use ,'thingy, 'doo-dad', 'whatcha-ma-jigger' , 'diddly-doo' and for measurements of the micro scale we say 'itsy-bitsy' and 'teeny-weeny' sometimes 'just a fuzz'... :)
Goodluck with the sale!
I can't wait to see what are buying instead of this beauty
bro that chuck... massive
Cutting Edge Engineering in Australia may be contacting you soon. 😀
Yep.. would fit in perfect there... 😛
So uhh... when are you guys going to start turning tank barrels?
I can’t even imagine how you would move something like this? A huge crane? Awesome
I don't know if it's even possible but I want to it slung under one of those giant choppers that can carry a tank
It's only 18 tonnes, weight-wise can easily pick it up with a decent forklift. The main issue I see is the length; its frame needs to be sturdy enough to pick it up from two points if you'd go that way. Else, two forklifts with experienced operators and once it's outside use a crane (or two) with slings positioned very carefully.
Good luck on the sale!
Very nice lathe. I like the steady rest adjustment from the front but worry about replacement parts.
What is shipping cost to the USA? And, do you include the adapter so I can power it from my standard 115V 20A household outlet? ;-)
Now that, that is a lathe!
is huge ,I wish I had enough space for such machine , :D
