In the mid 70s my father used to use a machine very similar to this for key cutting in our shop. He bought it 2nd hand and he had to do pretty much the same as you did with this. Great video

Another great restoration and a great way to make additional income! I use to work for a retail store and was trained to use the engraver in jewelry and the key cutter in sporting goods. Some times I would spend the day going back and forth to those two departments because I was the only one on the shift that knew how to use both machines.😊 Glad you listened to your heart and made it useful again. ❤

Nice to see it restored! I remember seeing many just like it here in Canada - with 110V motors, obviously! They used to be in EVERY hardware store!

That's in great shape as is. Just needs a cleaning. They make a mess when you use them anyway.

Looks like it needs adjusting. The notches of the copied key were a bit offset horizontally. Or maybe that was a trick of the camera. Generally one adjusts that by shimming the cutting wheel.

To be fair, it’s a process that not a lot of people can afford to have, not so much the blasting media and cabinet, but the air volume required… The ones that went through a lot to overcome those hurdles naturally get biased towards highlighting it more in a ‘I can finally do this sort of thing!’ kind of way…

@@jamesfield5346 as with all novelites, the initial excitement does cool down over time for new ways of doing things, whether it be turning metal, milling metal, sandblasting, ultrasonic cleaning, powder coating, brazing, welding and other things that usually either have a high price tag or require a lot of specialized equipment and skill to perform. This of course varies from tradesman to tradesman, as well as how much of their hard earned money they invest into these equipment _as well as the necessary supporting infrastructure, supplies, ancillary equipment, et cetera.._ It’s doable to buy a big 8’ old iron lathe, or perhaps a Bridgeport, but you get that bad boy home and …wait, this thing runs on three phase power? Whaddya mean single phase 240 won’t cut it? What do you mean i need a dividing head to mill helical gears? Hang on, DROs are that expensive? And on and on and on… and that’s not even mentioning consumables and tooling. This goes for manual and CNC machines, though if one can afford an industrial-grade CNC, either they know what they are doing, or their pockets are deep enough to overcome the growing pains of running one - and learning how to without breaking it (hopefully), whether it be on a hobby level or for a business startup. Same goes with most other processes that involve specialized equipment, and this isn’t limited to the regular skilled trades. There’s also the electronics repair and it’s subset, data recovery. Just the specialized hardware card alone for the latter is going for $7k off eBay, and that’s without the skill set and knowledge that the providers of such a service have on how to make good use of it enough to justify charging the prices they have for the services they provide - and this is despite the efforts of the usual greedcorps to make life difficult for people who want their electronics fixed, instead of chucking the thing over a single dead chip that isn’t even 1% of the cost of the entire device, and buying a new one. Such reasons, among other things, are why Louis Rossmann and many others really dislike Apple, John Deere and all others that do the same anti-customer practices. But enough of that tangent; in the end, people like to show off what they invest in to make things, to make things work with, and to make things work better with. Though, I do agree that putting too much central focus on a single process just for the sake of vanity has little, if no merit, that’s just a content creator’s preference, or perhaps, just them being happy with their new ‘big toys for the big boys’.

I have yet to figure out why they strip the pai t off with stripper then sand blast. The sand blasting will take the paint off in one step without the mess of ghe stripper.

@rustyshadesrestoration

6 ай бұрын

I can help with that mystery. 😀 There are four common scenarios: 1. The paint contains dangerous chemicals such as lead (my case) - that need to be stripped chemically and dispatched correctly. Sandblasting will help only to contaminate everything with lead. 2. The object cannot fit the blasting cabinet; 3. The paint is too solid, or many layers were applied (sandblasting can take too long, and a lot of media and energy will be used ), so a little paint stripper will help. 4. Just for diversity Maybe there are more reasons, but for now, this is what I can't tell. Best, Johnny

The wire wheel kinda dangerous to use that close to the belt

Nice job. Just something to note for future restorations: polishing the inside of a brass bushing like that isn’t a good idea. Those look like “oilite” bushings, which means they are porous and impregnated with oil. Polishing the inside can “smear” the brass and close off the oil passages, as well as heating it up enough that the oil runs out of it or pools in the bottom half, etc. You’ll start to learn to recognize when you see them, and just leave them alone.
