60 Years Old Valve Grinder Restoration

Ғылым және технология

I bought this 1950s-1960s Dewet valve grinder not so long ago for a restoration. This is a multi tool for grinding valve and valve stems. The left wheel can be used as a standard bench grinder. Unfortunately I didn't find the proper grinding wheel for now.
All bearing were oiled before first test, and oil was added to each oil hole

    The valve grinders are still very much in use today although younger mechanics probably don't know how to use those. In the marine those are quite common too still. Nice restoration nevertheless and subscribed of course. Edit, thanks no annoying unnecessary background music or noise.

    Pro life tip, if you want small custom size grinding wheels you can have them water jet cut from bigger grinding wheels, just make sure to leave a little extra on the other diameter to allow for some dressing.

    Excellent travail, j'apprécie ce vous avez fait parce que j'ai eu à restaurer ce genre d'équipement pour équiper mon atelier. Dans l'ensemble, votre vidéo est très représentatif de l,ensemble des opérations requises pour remettre en condition ce type d'équipement. Je ne m'arrête pas à l'aspect cosmétique de la restauration, cependant, au niveau de l'aspect fonctionnel, l'état du mandrin porte soupape semble avoir été négligé. en fait, la concentricité de la face active de la soupape par rapport à sa tige doit être de l'ordre de 0.001" ( 0.025mm), c'est précisément ce qui m,a demandé le plus d'énergie lors de la restauration de ma rectifieuse à soupapes. Dans mon cas, j'ai dû faire rectifier l'axe du porte soupape, fabriquer des bagues de friction sous calibrées en regard de l,axe rectifié et de remplacer le collet serre soupape afin d,obtenir une concentricité dans les normes. j'ai fait cette restauration il y a plus de 15 ans et cette machine me rend toujours un bon service malgré que je ne l'utilise pas souvent.

    Harbor Freight sells a “Super Heavy Duty Degreaser” in a one gallon container that is fluorescent green. Soak those parts overnight and all the paint is off, works like magic you’ll have to work on a dilution that works.
