If there is enough length to the brass nut, you can incorporate a backlash adjuster by making a 2/3 deep hacksaw cut 1/4" from the end of the nut. At the beginning of that cut, drill two holes in that 1/4 section and tap them. All you have to do then is adjust the backlash by tightening the screws. This closes the gap on that saw cut and picks up that backlash.

You are right! But one good thing he did was stop smacking it (i probably may have carried on) and didnt break it£

I got a multifix from Peter and I love it! And as Adam said he was very, very helpful. What I thought I needed was wrong and he looked at my order and contacted me with his suggestions and sent me what I really needed. And for my trouble threw in an extra tool holder to boot. I highly recommend getting tool holders from him if you need one.

I repaired such a crashed nut a while ago. I bored the old threads (plus 2mm) out made up a brass plug and soft soldered the it in (in place in the milling machine vise), drilled/reamed the inner diameter and cut the new thread on the lathe. it's holding up fine. I saved a lot of machining steps this way.

Seriously admire your knowledge and how much thought and effort you put into projects to get them how you want. Top notch stuff Adam.

That CRC ad placement was weirdly relaxing. I had a sudden urge to grab an old IH intake manifold and start scrubbing - which is odd 'cause it's Sunday night and I'm about to fall asleep:) Nice job.

Don't use normal 6201 ball bearings. You need the 3201 angular contact bearings to take up the thrust and backlash

@Gottenhimfella

2 жыл бұрын

You can use deep groove ball bearings as if they were angular contact provided the thrust load is not excessive, and in fact most drill presses do exactly that. It would be fine in an inexpensive import lathe, but I agree that for a lathe of this class there should be an opposing pair of angular contact bearings, either with the inner ring end-faces ground underflush (by the bearing maker) to provide the correct preload, or by careful engineering of a suitable (cylindrically ground) spacer.

Man... I'm glad that I'm not the only one to have that kind of experience in refurbing an old machine... paint, oil, chips, filth, etc... concealing fasters and limiting movement has absolutely been the biggest theme in my own machine tool wrenching efforts. As for cleaning, I don't have a parts washer, but what I have found is the most effective/economical is using diesel fuel as a solvent and a green Scotchbrite pad.

I've been a viewer for a very long time and always enjoy the content. In a compliment to the channel, the production has moved to the next level with Abby's addition to working on it. You two make a great team.

I'm getting very excited hearing you talk about making tools/ tool holders.

I do love watching these videos, even though I'll never do anything like this myself. There's just something very satisfying about seeing some of the machines that helped make this country given the attention they deserve and made new again.

I forgot to say this on the instagram post,(I saw something shiny) 😆 I love a parts drawing or parts manual at a minimum when disassembling a unfamiliar part. Sometimes they can save time and trouble on unseen things. Of course now days as we found out in this case, the internet is a wonderful resource. Pretty good bet someone has done it before you.

Nicely done Adam. Thanks for sharing this project. I’m anxious to see what projects you have in mind for the American Pacemaker.

Great tool post sales video. I did learn a bit about tearing down the compound on my 14x54 pacemaker though.

Normally I don’t like background music in videos, especially while someone is talking, but in this case the music you picked while washing the compound made my pulse rate decrease by 20 points. And then I had to chuckle when you did slo-mo on some of the washing, it perfectly matched the relaxing music!

Cleaning montage...very satisfying

Love the clear and high quality videos thank you.

We just got one of those parts washers into our shop, I was initially skeptical but was very pleasantly surprised the first time I had to clean off some old pins on just how well that solution works! Just wish the tub was a little bit more heavy duty so we could put our truck hubs in there without worrying about breaking stuff!

That is a wonderful tool post.

You could (maybe) have Peter of Edge Precision in Houston make you a tap as he has shown his cnc tool grinder on YT. It would be such a excellent combination - a Manual Machinist Wizard with a CNC Machinist Wizard.

Thanks for sharing Adam. great footage

The Multifix system looks solid; its good to see that some companies are still making them.

Adam, You are a machinist, Correct! Make the nut and cut the threads on the lathe using a form tool. Drill and (on rectangular brass piece first) cut the threads using the 4-jaw on the lathe. Counter-balance. if you screw up, you can always whip-up another one. File the butchered corners on the cross-slide and go to Sherwin Willians and get a gallon of Industrial paint in a bright lovely color of your choice. Paint the cross-slide and all the cast iron parts. Sand and polish the handles. You can paint the bed/headstock later, Hire some kid. The Multi-fix looks great. Oh yea, cut and throw away those 2 threads on the cross slide screw. My 2 pennies!

Great video, can’t wait to see the rest. The bronze nut could be one whole video by itself, hope you can find the right tooling for it.

Wow - that is one impressive tool holder. I can't imagine the force those cutting tools must be under when in use.

This is so satisfying to watch. I want my own workshop so much seeing all this lol 😂

That is a beast of a tool holder. Put the compound back as is but then fab a new equivalent acme screw and nut. Could also have a new nut cnc thread milled.

Indeed, but it doesn´t do anything (for the home shop guy, at least) which an old laundry tub and some kerosene in a cheap and cheerful lab supplies wash bottle, and stiff bristled brush and some Scotchbrite won´t do. Kerosene is not suitable for intensive long term use in production settings, but if you´re just refurbing the odd machine tool, its perfect. Kerosene used for parts washing can easily be retrieved and reused by settling it over water: the dirt drops out of the kero (top) layer and can be drained away and disposed of (without polluting the grey water system). It´s an easy matter to make your own parts washer incorporating this principle with a cheap marine bilge pump. Fit a drain for the semi clean kero in the side just above the level of the water, and another drain (a large diameter screw cap) at the bottom for the dirty water. If you avoid putting oily parts into the kero it will stay relatively clean. start the process with a ¨total loss¨ stage (ie discarding the minimal amount of solvent needed to wipe off most of the oil) ScotchBrite is a product which delivers (crudely speaking) twice the performance for a price premium of 1.2x That orange stuff, on the other hand, turns those ratios on their head. I deplore the turn so many You Tube influencers are taking in the direction of promoting ¨affluenza¨. It is undoubtedly good for the Gross National Product, but so are such things as war and natural disasters.

Are you able to CNC tap the T-Nut? That seems like it would be alot easier than making a big tap for that kind or thread. I love it when grandpa's tools come into play. I got a few tools from my grandfather that I use alot, I find comfort in it being like he is helping me with what I am doing, even though we didnt get the opportunity to do it much when he was alive.

Adam I have a pacemaker with the same compound. I just dissembled it and my bearings Were sticky like yours. Very similar condition as yours overall. My screw and nut were tight with little wear. [ACCEPT] The first three threads on the brass nut were broke off exactly as yours were. Thats too similar to be a coincidence. I'm wondering if there may be something in the design that either allows too much travel and the screw is coming out of the nut or almost coming out putting stress on the last three threads holding. I'm going to study the length of travel and see if I can figure this issue out. If you can look the length of travel in relation to the length of the screw maybe, you can figure out why this is happening. It may need a stop or spacer to prevent over travel. If you see an issue, please let me know what it is. Thanks Mike

Adam, if you tap new thread then you might end up with loose fit because of the wear that is already in the square thread so if you tap you might want to get a undersized tap then hone out the threads. Someone already posted that you might go to a split nut so you can adjust out the slop when needed

The smart wash Ozzy Juice is an amazing invention. Since it is sooo expensive the juice they claim not to add water as it dilutes it. I queried the compound and 98% of the solution does not evaporate therefore by heating it all the time the water is all that evaporates I’ve already done the expirementing it works great cuts the cost down in fact it seems to me it works better. The mats carry the microbes that eat the oil and grease and have found changing them monthly really helps keep it working great. One of my favorite tools in the shop. Im a bit older and find I feel sick if im in the solvent or diesel and have had to rely on rubber gloves. Getting old is not for wimps LOL. God Bless you brother.

Indeed (picking up on your irony) that´s not the American way-- at least it no longer is, in the new ¨improved" America.... You get howled down for making stuff instead of buying it... even on machinist forums. Business doesnt have to pay to do its own marketing these days, free citizens are falling over themselves to leap into the fray.

Thanks for another great video! I have always twisted the lead screw nuts on my compounds to make up for small amount of backlash, they usually have a set screw on the side to hold it. . No way to do that with that dutchman pin style and that looks like it has a bit much of backlash to be able to do that. Had to check my collection of odd taps, closest size is 7/8-5L in a square thread.

I've used this solvent tank and it really is the best ever. Mineral spirits always leaves it feeling oily. By far the best cleaning system out there not an ounce of oily feeling at all. Not getting anything from this review just a great product.

:Loving the artistic editing with the music and slow-mo. I wonder if there will be an Oscar category for machining videos? :-)

Adam, If you can't find a 3/4"-5 square tap and since there are 3/4"-5 Acme taps available you could make a whole new compound lead screw and nut with Acme threads. It won't be original but it will be do-able and work just as well as the original did when new. I believe the bevel gear on the lead screw is pressed on so you won't have to make (or source) a new one of those.

Making that bronze nut would make a great vid, Adam. I would like to see that.

Great video Adam, I enjoy these a lot. Thanks

I think the design for this T nut will evolve once you get into making it. A stud is going to be way more rigid than a bolt for clamping the tool holder down and that tool holder is a very serious piece of kit! Look forwards to seeing a nicely engineered solution but I think you may be rushing into this which is an easy trap to fall into when you're mad keen to get the new workshop up and running.

another excellent video. love your work.

Love the fact that you are still using your grandfather's tools. He chose right ! Looking forward to seeing the next episode of this really interesting project. One question though on that screw-thread. If the Bronze bolt had play in it, will you have to check the screw-thread for similar wear, (where it looks shiny), or will it be "insignificant" ? Stu

Loving the content you're putting out Adam.

Get Peter at Edge Precision to make you a square thread tap!

As others have said my "starter for ten" for finding the left-hand modified square tap would be Keith Rucker as he has such an amazing collection of old tools (along with contacts for those he doesn't already have).

Sehr gut mach weiter so!!👍👍

Wow - much bigger project than first glance

Adam, at my families machine shop we make very similar leadscrew nuts that are sold directly to monarch and leblond for there spare parts warehouses. They are not typical bearing bronze they are c954 aluminum bronze. Also we get the taps from a supplier called Widell Industries and we use our bigger mills like your new KBC to tap them. However monarch and leblond have switch to ACME threads so I don't know if Widell has square thread taps. Hope this information helps.
