Amazing work! The only thing I disagree with in this resto is your abundant use of bondo. If I were a buyer of this lathe and light wear and tear of future steel projects, saw bondo showing under the paint on all those surfaces, I wouldn’t be happy… But that’s just me. I’d rather see the porous cast and have steel show where the paint will inevitably chip with use than white obvious bondo showing. Other than that, great job! 💪

I noticed that too. He did a stellar job overall. Arguably the best of all the guys that do restoration vids on KZread. But it just seemed like more emphasis was placed on its outwardly appearance rather than what is most important, its function. Not to say he totally ignored that aspect. As I was really impressed when he went so far as to break out the surface grinder. Yet many mechanical such as the brake didn’t even appear to have been at least disassembled and cleaned. The DRO reader head looked the same. I’m not 100% sure but it looked like the headstock might have been together still and just taped off (rather well 👍🏻) when he sandblasted the outside of the casting. I don’t care how well you tape something off when sand or bead blasting that shit get everywhere. Been there done that. Just seemed like some of the most important mechanical and functional parts and pieces were “glossed over” as they don’t show so maybe weren’t deemed important. Yet still, the young man did a superb job overall. Very nice and I even like the color oddly enough. So please don’t take this in the wrong way as I’m trashing you. Just pointing out an observation and my opinion on when restoring a lathe more focus should be on restoring precision into the lathes functionality. There a good old video on KZread from the Colchester company detailing the care and effort they went into building these machines originally. The Gamet bearings are hand picked for the best possible examples and fit/finish/tolerances, if I remember correctly. Again excellent work and going to subscribe and check out your other vids 👍🏻!

Sorry. I have to rain on your parade: that is not a "restoration." This video shows what is essentially a last part disassembly, cleaning, and paint job of an engine lathe where minor repairs were performed. What was NOT performed was an initial survey of wear and accuracy, critical part inspection, machining/grinding/scraping of the way bearings to original manufacturer's specifications, in process geometry checks, measuring room quality inspection of the spindle and bearings (replacing them if necessary,) restoring original manufacture's fit and finish on the tailstock quill in the tailstock upper casting, step by step reassembly of the machine (verifying axis geometries for quality of fit, linearity, squareness, etc), final testing of the whole machine running a test card where as-found error is recorded and compared to OEM specs. Finally the run-off where every mode of operation and control position is verified, the cutting capacity is validated by taking full capacity cuts in test pieces of differing diameters, drilling holes from the solid using the largest twist drill available for the tailstock socket, finish cuts where roundness, taper and finish are verified, etc. Restoring a machine tool is quite a process traditionally practiced as a niche specialty of the machinist's trade. A full restoration for a lathe like the one in the video might take a skilled machine tool specialist working in a fully equipped shop several hundred man-hours. I'm not detracting from your beatiful job of COSMETIC restoration nor your excellent video exhibiting your process. I'm only pointing out it us not a restoration any more than dismanting cleaning and painting an automobile engine to glistening perfection without replacing the rings and bearings, and deglazing the cylinder bores is an engine overhaul. Having scotched your accomplishments, I should mention my qualifications for doing so. I've been a machinist for nearly 60 years with 15 years diversified experience in the rebuilding and reconditioning of precision machine tools. I've written technical specs for contracting the restoration/reconditioning of machine tools going into the finest detail. I've taught classes in precision scraping going all over the country wherever 12 or more students who desired my services organized classes.

Correct. Beautiful cosmetic restoration- highly commendable. But not a "rebuild". To me, this could be considered a "cosmetic restoration". The higher level you describe in my book would be a "rebuild". But it's all just semantics, it's the work that counts. To his credit, he doesn't claim to have performed a rebuild, just a restoration. But it is an important point you make that people should be aware of. Unless there is a bunch missing from the video that we are not shown, you are completely correct. There is a whole additional level of inspection and potential correction that is missing here.

That would include scrapping the bed and adjusting for wear in saddle etc… I have no experience doing that, but also this video was super long and not everything was captured in the footage. When I got the lathe I ran it for a few months to see the issues and fixed many of them, backlash, bushings, etc… then I decided to pull it apart and do a “KZread Restoration” then I turned on the camera during the disassembly, hence this video.

No cool. To call external cosmetics a restoration of a lathe ? it impresses boy scouts, but not adults. Sanding without metal scraping is also pointless work. the electronic ruler will not add accuracy.

music is unnecessary, irritating, distracting and ridiculous
