Rustinox, great video. One tip I have for your bandsaw, I have the same style. I made thumb screws to replace all the Phillips head screws for the blade cover. I can now change/fix a blade in 1/4 of the time it used to take. As always thank you for sharing your expertise. I always learn a lot.

Nice work on the rollers Michel. Looking forward to seeing them in use. Hope you cure the oil leak problem. I don't think the Russian election will bring any surprises, but we live in hope. Cheers Nobby

Hi Michel. A well crafted project using your no nonsense approach and reuse of rusty steel. The rollers look perfect. As for your oil leak I feel your pain. Both my milling machine and lathe suffer from unknown oil leaks 😢. One day I must find where and why. 🥴🤔

As always, an entertaining and inspiring video. "25% extra"... Be aware! When a liquid soap bottle contains 25% more the hole is 50% larger making You consume the content 25% faster! This according to a seller for soap! Working well, well done, as always. Cheers and thank You for well recorded and presented happenings.

Handy set of rollers, I'm intrigued to see them in use. Of course you could also screw them to the bottom of your shoes and go roller skating! 😂

Well, it's for welding longer round pieces.

Maybe a thicker oil will stop the leak? If not, maybe a catch tray to divert it into tin can?

With quality bearings, it would work very well.

it's typically shaft seals on either the big main seal behind the chuck (which is a PITA to change) or one of the shafts that run the thread cutting acme screws in the lower gearbox that leak oil most of the time

Leak-Trace is a spray leak tracing powder in a spray can. This can be used to find your leak if it is in a visable area. You spray it on the surface (surface must be dry and moisture free) like spray paint and it dries to a white power. Let it sit and any leaks will cause the powder to change color/ darken. When done you can easily wipe away the dried powder. The key to using this powder is to throughly clean and dry the surfaces to be checked. If a gasket edge is not completely dry it will show a false positive for a leak.

That's useful information. Thanks.

In the past, when doing auto repairs, we used a fluorescent dye in the oil of the component we are leak testing. With the aid of a black light, the leak will be very visible. Hopefully this will be useful. 😂

@Rustinox You should be able to purchase this product at any auto parts store, They make dyes for AC, Engine oil and transmission. You can just use a blue LED light to illuminate the dye.

My lathe has a slow leak in the seals for the apron drive shafts. I am too lazy to disassemble and install new shaft seals, so I just put down some of the pads used for puppies to pee on. ( pads that are also used for patients that wet their beds)

What works well too is cat litter.

Greetings Rusti, as an old motocyclist (for over 50 years), I don't mess with gaskets on troublesome joints, use a good quality silicone rubber gasket maker and kiss all oil leaks goodbye forever........ BUT OF COURSE THERE IS A PROBLEM.....You have to strip the beast down again! Lookin forward to see how you fix the problem.

Cant wait to see what the rollers are for. Perhaps you could have put a 10mm reamer through the drilled holes, then make 10mm axels?

These don't need to be perfect. It's for welding.

Hi Michel, Always good to see you making stuff. I see Paul from Haxby Shed has been chasing oil leaks today. Could you too have a blowhole in one of those castings? Look forward to seeing the rollers in action in the future. Have a great weekend!!

G'day Rusty. Since you brought up the Election, we already know who is going to Win. But coming back to Fun & Reality in our little Universe, the rollers & brackets turned out very nicely & they do a Perfect Job for what they are. Looks like you will have a 2 or 3 part series on Oil Leaks & How to Cure Them. 😮🎉😊

The next time you need to do deep parting off try going in part way them move the parting tool over a bit to make the groove wider then go back and finish the rest of the operation

Well, even then it fails.

I don't think I have ever had a machine tool which didn't leak oil from somewhere. 0.3mm over on a 9.5mm twist drill seems in line with my experience, if you're after accurate holes drill under size and use reamers, or bore on the lathe.
