Giant Can Sealer Machine Restoration - I Failed the Canning Test!
In this video, I restored a can-sealing machine made in 1900s Germany.
More about the restoration process:
I bought this can sealing machine from an auction site. I found it very interesting, and it was worth the effort because we don't see something like this every day.
The restoration process was uneventful but extensive. The pieces were rusted from water and time, especially the lower part. The whole project took almost three weeks.
One of the wooden handles was cracked, and I had to replace it, so I made a new one from scratch. I also made new brass ferrules.
The disassembly alone took over 14 hours. I cleaned the large rusty parts with a 2000-watt laser: www.sfxlyxc.com/?aff=2198
The smaller parts with the sandblaster.
I also wanted to keep a vintage industrial look and succeeded in using RAL 5024 powder coating.
I also bought several empty tins to test at the end, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the proper containers. I also adjusted the machine as much as possible (I spent four hours trying to do the test), but that's probably because the tins from that period had different sizes.
The most exciting aspect about this canning machine is that it was made in Breslau, then Germany. After 1945, the city's name was changed to Wroclaw, part of Poland's territory.
Please ask me if you have any questions about what I used and why! I answer them all!
Cheers! Johnny.

Nicely restored, interesting simple machine! As for the cans not fitting issue, you have a lathe, so it should be easy to make a sized template for the cans you have, with matching internal threads. This machine looks like one could replace the plate to match the cans, hence why it can be removed by unscrewing it.
These videos are so relaxing
Doesn't matter that the can didn't fit, it gave the viewer the general idea of how the machine works.😉 Nice Job as always.

You did a good job overall, but one thing I'd take issue with, is when you are turning on the lathe, the cutting tool seemed higher than the tailstock centre. Turned out great, well done.

Не расстраивайтесь, просто отрегулируйте как следует ножи и всё получится. А вообще банку закатывают обычно с содержимым. С большим удивлением прочитал, что в ссср использовали консервированную кипячёную воду. Казалось бы, можно посмеяться, но задумка очень даже неплохая. Такая вода хранится очень долго. Её обычно использовали и используют на подводных лодках, в аварийных морских запасах, например, на шлюпках, в спасательных плотах и иных средствах спасения, на воде.
Once again great video!

Даже по дереву есть токарный станок. Как я мечтаю, о такой мастерской. Для таких станков, кстати, есть копировальные приспособления, по крайней мере, я так слышал. То есть, вставляете туда старую рукоятку и с помощью резца получаете новую, такой же формы и размера.
6:34 а вот кольцо совершенно напрасно повредили. Можно было замочить, в растворе, который сжирает ржавчину, выбить штифт и спокойно снять.

I would try putting your tool lower when turning on the lathe, it looks like it's super high and rubbing more than cutting. Should help a lot with forming a chip and cutting material. A truck I use to find center height is cut the face of the stock when it's chucked up close to the chuck, starting below center and working my way up until there is no "nub" left when I face the part.

Thank you for your tips. Unfortunately, I can't lower it more than that. It is a small lathe machine, and I bought it to learn the basics; I should probably step up and buy a bigger one. Cheers!

How does lasering differ from sand blasting?
@rustyshadesrestoration
9 ай бұрын
A Sandblaster uses abrasive media (sand, walnuts, glass beds etc.) that is blown by high-pressure air while a laser hits a beam of the particles on different surfaces and makes them lose the bond. The laser is much more eco-friendly and faster (can clean difficult spots) and doesn't damage the surface if well adjusted, while Sandblaster cleans quite the same or even better sometimes, but it is messy and dangerous for health and very slow. As well, you can't clean big-size items. Sandblaster is a cheap way of cleaning rust/paint, while laser isn't-pretty expensive and has high electricity consumption.

10:51 я не вижу справа, но используете ли вы заднюю бабку? Это никакое не оскорбление, а приспособление. Пиноль задней бабки, подвижная в осевом направлении гильза в задней бабке металлорежущего станка, в которой закрепляют обрабатывающий инструмент или центр для поддержания детали. Я вижу, что заготовка у вас "бьёт", поэтому перегревается резец. Если её закрепить с помощью задней бабки, то биение прекратится и резец перестанет перегреваться. По понятным причинам не могу здесь публиковать ссылки и схемы.
