This rebuild is well worth it, moriseiki machines are probably the best build machines out there.

I´m studing for a university subject about fabrication tecnology and this year, due to cuarantine, practical learning is impossible. This must be one of the most instructive videos i have been seeing this year, amazing work

You are still one of three KZread channels that I give a thumbs up to BEFORE I watch the video! Anxiously awaiting your next.

Ya I've seen some of his work wish I could pop over to his shop and work on something lend him a hand but oceans divide but machinists will conquer!!!!!!!!

How anyone can possibly understand that gear system, disassemble it, fix its problems, and get it back together in a perfectly working way is completely beyond me. You, Sir, are a master of witchcraft. I bow down with deepest respect.

Met a chap in the 70s who worked in a naval gun factory before WW2. They had a big lathe to shape gun barrels for naval guns. The tool holder was on a platform with a chair on it. You sat in that and supervised the tool as it slowly moved along the barrel, starting at one end in the morning & getting off the other end for lunch. Imagine the drive system on that thing. I wish I'd seen that in action.

Really excellent work CàLem! Keep them coming. All the best, Uncle Robin

Man, those old Mori Seikis are a nicely made machine. That thing is going to last centuries if it's maintained.

What incredible workmanship in restoring an obviously uncared for magnificent machine.

Amazing, truly appreciate all of time and effort put into this. I hope you keep it ! Don't sell it, nobody will ever appreciate it more than you my friend. Love this content!

The way you use a hammer... so skillful. I usually cringe when I see anybody pull out the hammer, but you use it like someone who has rebuilt a million transmissions or other gear boxes. Much respect to you sir. Nice work as usual

From the start I've loved Ca Lem's perfectionism. It seems this lad just doesn't know HOW to cut corners. He doesn't stop at "Good enough" if there's a chance that by putting more work in would upgrade that to "Perfect"! If it wasn't for me being about half the globe away from him, and not wanting to risk it to shipping companies, I'd have already been negotiating to try and commission him to fully strip and restore my well used (But still worth restoring if I had the time) vintage lathe.

@@seanrodden6151 That's all very well, but If we did it that way he'd need to bring a fair chunk of his well equipped workshop with him to do the work. :D It would be easier to get my lathe to his workshop than his workshop here, but it would still cost more than the lathe's worth just to ship it there and back.

That gearbox has had a pretty easy life so far. I like flushing gearboxes like those out with kerosene, since it prevents flash rusting while things are dry and doesn't matter if you get every single drop out, since it doesn't hurt the gear oil. Nice spindle you got there, as a comparison a Monarch 10EE or Hardinge HLV spindles are held to around 1 micron or better. Mori-Seiki are excellent manual lathes. They are still very popular in job shops in Japan. I feel like blue grey is the best color for manual machine tools.

never seen the headstock broken down before, very cool. you are a pro

Thank you very much, nice job! I must've missed the head stock bearings, would've liked to see their setup & adjustment. It looks very well used, not abused and well taken care of.

Slow down and let us take in all the details of your professional workmanship, To get where you are now lots take at least 10 videos(abusive), not that slow but its just nice watching you do things properly. You do realize once finished you will have to build a soap box to stand on to operate it, its a beast, bueaty & the beast all in one. looking forward to your next video as always. If the video was over an hour long I think most would watch in awe, then rewatch just in case they missed something. thanks for sharing

That workbench with those trays in it is a really good idea. Great for rebuilding equipment.

👍took some guts to go that deep. You're very talented my friend. Great job!

For the future.... hit the headstock with hot air gun or even a small propane torch prior to beating in the outer races. Helps a lot.... allowing nearly push fits until it cools down. Not much heat is needed as those outer shells have very little interferance fit from the get go. Nice work.... ive done lots. Always fun.

You are very good at what you are doing. Enjoyed watching.

Такому мастеру и помошники пожалуй не нужны ! Работа приятно посмотреть , молодец !

The lathe is a beast, like a 2 ton wristwatch and you opened it up without reservation. Excellent work.

Fantastic lathe and video and no pointless background music !. Looking forward to the next instalment. You must have a photographic memory too 😀

buddy you are a good repairman great job done! it's nice to see how old machines are given a new life ...

Your videos are so nice! You are living proof that art and engineering can go hand in hand.

Those improvised pullers are genius

Rebuild it and they will come👊👊 Nothing better than a restoration vid

To be honest I think your films should be longer. Around 2 hours would be nice, then they would be perfect for a nice movie evening with some popcorn. I really love your films and I admire your ability to remember where all the pieces go after the disassembly. I have a Meuser M1L that I need to restore so I need to watch your films carefully to learn how it is done :-). Can't wait for the following parts!!!

Old lathes can be used again Moreover, because it is made in Japan, it is sturdy and can still be used in active service. I'm glad to see it

Rất ngưỡng mộ em! Xem clip của em anh thấy có động lực để sửa mấy con máy của anh, bàn trượt ngang đang bị dơ quá! Chúc em sức khoẻ và thành công!

Thank you! Makes it look easy. Nice to see the insides of what is clearly a well made machine.

Im doing a lathe restoration right now too. A much smaller bench top Logan. You’re doing an excellent job and your videography is superb. Subscribed

Even if I could get it apart, I'd still be shitting myself that I'd never get it back together. To tackle jobs like this takes a calmness and self-confidence that knowing one will be able to work it out, or actually knowing how it's done. Either way deserves a great deal of respect.

Your skill and work is exceptional ! You are an inspiration

You Sir are an amazing individual with the ingenuity and skills to be successful! Thoroughly enjoy all of your videos.

I really like the restoration process like this, a lathe like that is similar to the lathe on my campus, and I really like the maintenance process related to machines.

This machine lasts absolutely for good if maintained like the operator manual tells you to. Only really wearing parts should be the brake disc and brake pads and chuck, maybe belts and a few little parts. Everything is carefully engineered to maintain precision over decades of hard work but if the service is not done, then you need the repairs...

Cool vid, nice lathe. Can’t wait too see the finish lathe. 👍

Those gears at the end were smooth. Looks like a beautiful piece of machinery, the Japanese make excellent stuff. I once had to reassemble the headstock of a DLZ 180 Präzimat. It's a 120kg hobby lathe with almost as many gears as the Moriseiki, only tiny. Three of my fingers still have a permanent bend in them.

Great to see you again. This machine will be a gem you you finish it. You have so much talent.

Off to a good start so far, hopefully no major issues. Thanks for sharing, Cheers

Hi Ca Lem, liked your video, as always. You do very nicely with the equipment available to you. Love the 'I'll just move the bearing in a bit' work around, hope it works for another half life! Looking forward to the next instalment.

Hey Carl - fancy seeing you here! Agreed - Ca Lem does a great job with minimal equipment, but the equipment list is growing with each episode, he's now built the roll-around gantry with electric lift. I would love one of those (and the space to operate it)!

Ambitious teardown and rebuild. Always a pleasure to watch you work.

You're a great mechanic Ca, I hope you go far and enjoy every moment!

Awesome! Another beautiful piece of machinery. Thanks for sharing!

Apple should give you top Mac desktop to render your videos! You are true professor there will be machinists learning from you discipline care and work proper and smoothly. Top worker here!

Nice surprise to watch with my coffee waking up😉✌🏼I do believe there isn’t anything you can’t reassemble or fabricate!

Thanks Ca Lem from your video. You are awesome young man! Huge progress in just one video!

A work of art. A true joy to behold. The knowledge and care you take in your work really shows! Thank you for sharing it with us all.

These are great lathes. I have the same model (you are inspiring me to give mine a spa day). It's a work horse.

It's nice to see you again Calem working on your sweethearts :D It's odd when I watched the video how similar are the lathes, lets say from Japan and mine which is from former Yugoslavia. Gearbox is similar but not so big, because mine is a small lathe. I had also some big problems with knocking sound in lathe, changed all bearings from where the sound was coming with no success. After third teardown I noticed some hard to see markings on the shaft of gearbox and on the sprockets...I aligned them and ground one tooth on the other sprocket (guess one time something exploded in it and grabbed the tooth) and the knocking sound was gone. I'm happy now but wear on the slides still bothers me allot to hand scrape it but never scraped nor I don't have a tools, straightedge surface plate, etc... to do it... Can't wait for more on your restoration of this beautiful lathe...It really is big hehehe All the best Calem kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpOks9KRYJCtnbQ.html

an epic machine,extremley high quality, mori seiki now involded whit german manufacturer Maho,so i have some experience whit similar machines,very nice things,nice buy Ca Lem,i think u'll be happy whit it
