Tour My Retirement Vintage Machine Shop in Walla Walla

Machining metal in a one car garage using a restored Levin Lathe, Monarch 10ee lathe, Axelson 14X30 engine lathe, Brown & Sharpe milling machine, Moore #2 jig borer with a Cincinati No 2 Tool & Cutter Grinder for factory new sharp cutters of all types in both carbide and high speed steel.
Come along for a vision of how machine work was once done creating cutters in house and close tolerance work on the toolroom lathe and jig borer.

    @DonDyarprecision I have a typical hobbiest's spare room machine shop: SB and Atlas lathes, Burke #4 mill, Delta drill press, Quarn-style T&C grinder, import band saw, Baldor Carbide Grinder & some other stuff. I'm looking for a decent small vertical mill to complete the shop. I can do some decent smallish work, but I love, love your setup of really HD machines in about the same space. Happy New Year!

    Hey Don what size american rotary phase converter do you run, and do you have a panel box between it and all your machines? Love the shop

  • @DonDyarprecision

    @DonDyarprecision

    6 ай бұрын

    The converter is the ADX15. I have magnetic starters on the machines but when the converter is off there is still two hot legs going to the machines. I have a cutoff switch before the converter and only have it powered when I am in there. I had to locate the 15hp idler motor outside because it is loud and vibrates. American Rotary sized this for my 5hp max machines and it works very well even better than some utility 3phase in local rural areas. I can say this unit works considerably better than home spun units or 30yr old commercial units of the same size I have used.in the past. And always had a cutoff switch before the converter to totally cut power anyway. Some don't like the special Baldor idler motor noise, I built a doghouse for it just outside the wall and its all good.

  • @LittleJuniataMC

    @LittleJuniataMC

    6 ай бұрын

    Thank for the reply don I just got a adx 15 myself. I might have to put the idler outside also good idea. I have 3 machines in a row and was going to use outlets and plugs in one corcuit instead of running a 3 phase panel box and individually hard wiring each machine with separate wiring. Hopefully this works for me.

  • @DonDyarprecision

    @DonDyarprecision

    6 ай бұрын

    I am running everything like you describe and it works fine, just have a cutoff for the converter to completely cut power to the machines. The idler is in a doghouse outside, too loud for videos, also it was noted that bearings can be dry in the idler and I did have to grease them, there are fittings for that. This converter works much better than an older phase matic rotary that I have used, these things have come a long way from the dark ages, I am surprised on the much improved machine performance and even switch operation, I think you will like this.@@LittleJuniataMC

    Do you really need to keep that thing in the tailstock? Having drill bits and other sharp things hanging out in the open like that are just a bad accident waiting to happen. A little too much stuff just laying around. I know it's fun to collect but a person tends to start drowning in all that tooling. Really, a jig bore? You work to tenths that much? Pretty cool, I'm jealous. 😅
