Wow. The moment that 3D printed cover lands onto the old holes and its outer edge is perfectly spaced from the gear assembly all around. You're an artist.

finally a movie 🎉🎉🎉

i like it. Amount of work that you put in this is remarkable. Often people who watch these kind of videos dont realize that enough. Looking forward to next videos from you....

Thanks! Yeah making this video was a lot of work because it was so many little bits of footage I collected over a few years

I love the amount of detail, and precision!

All nice alterations. I especially like the timing belt drive for the hand wheel.

Talking with footage is welcomed. Talking to straight to the camera isn't.

Your passion speaks my language! I am in the process of restoring my lathe for over a year now, and hopefully I'll get close to the finish line soon. You have just doubled the value of that lathe and extended its life by multiple times. Really appreciate all this work. Subscribed!

Phil you really are passionate about your lathe. The mods should extend the life of your ways! Thanks for sharing.

Your videos are great to watch. Informative and to the point. 😀

G'day from West Australia😉 So nice to find another thinking and practical man. May the only other thinking men in my 60yr life rest in peace. Dad 24/4/1927-- 9/9/1996 My uncle ( the good one) died 2005. My trade :- 3rd generation Automotive Mechanical Engineer 43yrs long thus far. Love Coach building, Mills and Lathes etc etc. Thank you🙂👍👍

You have a good engineering mindset. You think logically and with good precision. I like the way you think. Thanks for sharing these amazing tweaks that your machine needed; and now they're done and working well! Kudos for multiple jobs done to perfection! Thank you for sharing all of this! :)

Excellent work and ideas, thank you for sharing it with us.

A well-thought-out project. I like your videos and I know how much time it takes to shoot. Soon I will be assembling a small lathe at my place. The organizer and ideas at a high level. Super.👍

Very nice work/solutions !!

Even more impressive than your last round of mods. Very well thought out and executed. Definitely not too much talking ! Even though I'm well used to doing machine mods at this level, it's always thought provoking and broadening to be exposed to the detailed thought processes of other thoughtful practitioners.

Well done indeed Sir. All of your talking was never too much. You explained every step in detail that made this video very well explained so many of us could follow along with interest. All of these upgrades were truly needed and quite interesting in both the design and execution to get the final results that turned this basic lathe into a well designed machine you can be proud of. Thank you for sharing all of your workmanship with us! Bill from Colorado

Yay! New Phil Vandelay video day. Been too long - nice work as always my friend.

Great video. Don’t mind the length at all. Great footage and explanations. Best of all no aggravating music.

Great ideas and execution mate 👍

Outstanding, I love a clean shop and shop tools. The attention to detail, fit & finish boarders on OCD, I wouldn't have it any other way. Really nice work.

Loved your ideas! Looks awesome too!

Really thoughtful and impressive work!

what a bunch of awesome modifications you have done , alot of nice work and inspirational stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍

Nice work Phil, I'm inspired. It's great to watch you learn and grow, and how your capacity grows as you go. Thanks for sharing!

I like what you did with the handwheel in particular, but I can see doing all of these things.

Wow, great job on all the upgrades!

These holes where swarf is entering, seem like the perfect application for 3d printing.

I always enjoy your videos, Phil. Everything is very well thought out and clearly conveyed. Great stuff as always man. :)

There are a lot of great upgrades and improvements there. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, also recently found the Stefan video on drill with the carriage, life changing upgrade! Also recently upgraded with a DRO too and was wondering where to mount it so was good to see where you put it. Thanks!

Very nice, neat solution. Thanks for sharing.

Your method of welding the plate to the pipe then drilling the hole just saved me tons of trying to figure out my project, im using 3" pipe and will hog out my drilled hole. Thank you .

This episode is a fine example of the main reason to own equipment such as this: making upgrades to the said machines 😂

​@@larrybud....if thats what you think this is about, you have no idea why people get into this "hobby"... This is about teaching yourself and effectively becoming a true craftsman machinist...its about gaining a deep understanding of engineering and materials and how the world around us would cease to exist without such knowledge... Its also fun to be able to do stuff most others have no clue about ...😂 Would you ask a scientist to "make something useful" when clearly his goal is not that ??... 🙄

@@peterfitzpatrick7032 Not sure why you're taking my comment so personally. You do what makes you happy. I make jigs and tool improvements to my woodworking tools all the time, but in the end, I make functional stuff. But there are channels dedicated to tool making. Doesn't interest me. But this is very similar to the 3d printing world. Some people just like to tinker with the machines. I like to make stuff with them.

Great improvements…nice work! 👍

Some fantastic ideas here Phil. I like the concertina way covers especially. Beautifully produced video which is dead easy to watch too. Thanks for the ideas. Cheers, Craig

I don't know how I missed this yesterday-I really enjoy your videos. As for the content and the length of the video-the benefit of the upgrades speak for themselves; plus it seemed like it was only 15 minutes long; well done. God bless.

Enjoyed that, thank you. Neat solutions.

That's how that lathe should come out of the box. What an improvement!

Enjoyed watching as always, great solutions to annoying problems!

I was hope the video going more longer cause it so satisfying and helpful! Keep it up brother.

I am new to this world of machining. I thank you for being a good teacher and sharing your ideas.

That captive bolt inside the tubular mount was clever! Thanks, Phil, this is inspiring. 👍

"And it looks like it came out of an airplane, which is awesome". Made me laugh, it does and it is!

I'm quite impressed by the final solution for the way covers.

Absolutley enjoyed this video so much good ideas and information. One of the more inforative ones ive watched, in particular the accordian covers.

you are amazing ,Phil. thank you.

your solutions look great executed very well

Amazing work as always Phil 👏👍👌

Softer aluminum alloys which are designed for use in forming operations always turn up burrs even when the end mill is in good condition. If you stack these sheets together and make multiple parts at a time, then you'll find the middle pieces do not get burrs. Of course, this technique requires using a thicker top plate to prevent the sheet stock from chattering and causing all parts to end up with burrs.

Nice improvements, I have been meaning to get some way covers for a long time. Also love the carriage handle reduction mod.

Wonderful and ingenious engineering, as always 😍

Thanks for share!

great vid. thanks for sharing learned a lot

This was such a fun video. I haven't seen a handwheel mod like that before, so cool. Maybe it's been done elsewhere, but it was new to me and I really love seeing fresh ideas like it!

Beautiful!!!

Great little mods that I haven't seens before. thanks.

Great, thanks for sharing!

I liked and enjoyed the modification done on this Lathe machine, Those modifications really worth, Grab Love from your new subscriber from India Uttar Pradesh Agra City, Suneel Kanda

Some very nice improvements sir!

Love these improvements! Next project on the list is to spiff up my lathe area. Lots of inspiration here

Fantastische Arbeit und Ideen! Gratulation.

This was a VERY satisfying video to watch! :)

Very cool! my lathe was manufactured in the early 1940s but you have given me some useful ideas. Thanks.

Very well done

Oustanding, so much variety. 🙂🙂

Erstklassige Arbeit und sehr elegante Lösungen.

Great work and attention to detail. When machining a timing pulley in the lathe I use 3 dowels or drill rod equally spaced where the chuck jaws contact, held in place with a zip tie or similar.

I think i also check your channel once a day to make sure I don’t miss and new video Thank you so much I bought belt grinder plans and i am going to try to make it from playwood

Good work

Thanks for the awesome videos

Fantastic idea 👍👍

if you machine any hard plastics or nylons in your lathe, you will second guess having the tooling shelf near the chuck. that stuff will fly wild. trust me.

I machine plastics quite a bit and haven't had any problems

thanks Phil

Awesome! I have approximately the same lathe model

great upgrades 👍🏻

I'm impressed! Your upgrades were very clever, nifty, useful, and skillfully done! Subbed! Upgrading things you touch to operate a machine like handwheels, knobs, and switchgear are a pet peeve of mine. Good knobs and switches can make a machine seem totally different, and much higher quality.

Fantastic stuff. My lathe is very different from this but there are loads of ideas I can use here! Thank you.

Nice improvements. 😊

The new face looks nice! Beautiful jobs. Thanks

Hello Phil. On April 5th, this was the first date, which happened I to ran into you. I'm located in USA in Michigan. Where are you located?? I'm now 66yrs old. I'm quite impressed by your experience and the upgrades you performed. Currently I'm buried with stuff that I need to get done. I'm interested to get back to you with what I accomplished. Anyway, Phil, excellent work! I plan to spend some more time, with your site. Take care now...

Díky!

Very good video

Brilliant. It's so much fun watching other people that are fussy. Like I always say, there's nothing that can't be improved on, or you just haven't met the right person...

Great video. I like the talking. Keep it up!

Pretty sweet solution.

Once again a fantastic video.👍 Although the mods were small but they were very significant .It will help with OCD perfection.😂🤣.

Very impressive.

The split two piece plastic spacers to hold the small pulley on its OD is what I would have done, except I have found you get run out with two piece "collets" BUT if you cut them into three the part runs very true and not only that you get more grip on the part. Just fit the pieces around the part and hold with three fingers whilst placing into the chuck. Then align the chuck jaws to be approximately in the centre of the collet pieces. For really small fiddly collet pieces you can machine a groove in the collet pieces OD before cutting into three then hold them around the part with a turn of soft iron wire.

nice tips

Привет из России! Я сам живу в суровой снежной и морозной Сибири. Мне 65 лет, но до сих пор люблю как и ты Фил что то делать своими руками. Мне бы такое оборудование и станки как у тебя, я бы столько всего интересного мог бы изобрести. Идей куча, а возможности воплотить в жизнь, большая проблема. В молодости я работал по 15 разным профессиям, такие как токарь, шлифовщик, электро-сварщик, слесарь инструментальщик, художник оформитель, слесарь по ремонту электросварочного оборудования и так далее. Вообщем опыта куча, а своей домашней мастерской как у тебя нет, соответственно нет возможности творить. Вот наслаждаюсь твоими видео, и завидую тебе белой и чистой завистью. Кстати я подписался на твой канал. Видео твои интересные, за что тебе спасибо! Здоровья тебе, всем твоим близким, и конечно же твоим постоянным подписчикам.

Nice mods! Maybe you could have the control panel engraved? That would look so nice

Great vid!...

As a first time viewer to your channel: I find myself mildly enthusiastic with your lathe updates, and so on. Your ideas into actions are now mine to remember. Thank you. In section 41:50...51...52... you used cable-ties to help with the accordion-chip-cover. As I haven't actually tried this idea with an accordion it my not work. However, perhaps using key-rings might do the trick. It's what I'd probably try, anyway. Good luck, and thanks for the ideas and info. I might go and watch your first lot of videos... they might be interesting.

It occurred to me you've Stefan Gotteswinter'd your lathe like he did to his mill. Love it :)

He actually did some of the same mods to his Lathe too which is where I got some of the ideas. In fact, the Lathes are pretty similar - I think I have the knockoff version of his much nicer Emco lathe

Very good ideas, I have a similar lathe that should get the same attention

Very strong hands-on ability beautiful
