I left the tools by passing my examinations as an engineer when I was 30, but I still treasure my trade test certificate. Watched one of deedee's videos immediately before watching this one. Loved seeing your Shepherd keeping you company in your shop. Cheers from South Africa.
Gday Max, you’ve almost got the machine by the balls and not far off having power though it, the pinion gear is worn quite bad and I’d forgotten about that, great job mate, cheers
Thank you Max always lots of useful information. Greatly appreciated. I just got the South Bend milling machine. Very exciting times in my little home shop.
Thank you for addressing my post from the previous video in regard to the alignment of the leadscrew to the cross-slide. Clausing did provide a generous range of adjustment with their TA’s and I’d imagine it had something to do with the varying tolerances of a machine that was in production for 40+years and being that they sold the TA separately so that you could add it to an existing machine. I’d imagine thats the main reason their installation instructions were so good and addressed the importance of alignment. I like your method of reducing backlash and how you took into consideration the backlash in the telescopic joint. I can see some chasing their tail of they didnt think to add this into the total backlash.
Very much enjoyed watching the adjustment methods and component rack wear notes. Very glad your shop is progressing nicely. Mention my shop busy with a telehandler as routine hydralic hose refit with various clean and routine grease and where a Chev truck was towed to next project. Also nice to see other channel comments where critical adjustments are discussed. Look forward to your post(s). M.
G'day Max. Excellent video with tons of content. Looking at the JFMT same as other lathes, we don't really think of all the Intricate bits & pieces that are fitted. The original designing, manufacturing of parts, assembly & fine tuning of such complex unit. Great video keep up the Great Work. Even the Trade Cirtificate Looks Good. Bugger I didn't think of that ohh & I could have put the M.I.A.M.E Certificate as well lol Yep missed that one 😅😊😂🎉
Lol , I have one of those somewhere for automotive aircon . Funny thing is , it's illegal to strip an air con compressor unless you have fitting & machining trade papers ! Go figure .👍
Nice job on setting cross slide leadscrew nut, the petroleum jelly should do the job, waterproof as well, many dont realise most greases aren't waterproof. Coming along nicely Max, nice to see some proper certificates 👍 Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to see both the jfmt and the DSG up and running... a little more the DSG if I'm honest but that's because it was made in England and they're just extra special lathes...
Hi Max There is one more important adjustment on the cross slide to check which can contribute to backlash. The cross slide screw is anchored on the taper turning attachment end with roller thrust bearings. These thrust bearings should have a slight preload. If this preload is lost it can lead to backlash which mimicks the backlash in the front key drive. I am saying this because I had this problem and it took a while to figure out. Cheers.
Thanks . That adjustment was done 3/4 of the way through the last video when fitting the taper attachment . It would be an easy one to miss if you were only doing an adjustment . Cheers 👍
Nice update on the JFMT Max, I've been trying to figure out the rapid traverse drive system. Is there an electric motor that overrides the normal mechanical drive shaft feed or is the standard feed electrically driven all the time. It's keeping me up at night wondering...Lol ATB.....Cheers
Buggered if i know the answer to that one yet ! I would guess the electric motor just drives the feed that is engaged & the handle spins around by itself . Like a rapid traverse on a milling machine . 👍
Smart inspectors coat. Good discussion on machine dynamics. What would this lathes best taper Turning job be. Plenty of torque in the those heavy cast beasts.
Thanks . I cant wait to get the thing up & running . Mind you i have not had the chuck off it yet , so no idea what the spindle nose condition is yet . I will try out some of your ''Hair Tonic '' next week ! 👍
No doubt that’s from his earlier days as a hit man for the mob. 😜😂😂😉 He could probably tell us, but then you understand he’d have to kill us both for “knowing too much!” 😳😳
Remember the Mad Max movies back in the 80's , it's from then ! I was a bit wilder back in those days & was nicknamed Max . It has stuck ever since ! 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop That's funny. I remember your earlier videos when you were just starting construction of your shop. You had your tractor with the backhoe on it and I remember thinking that looks right out of a Mad Max movie. I always like the Mack in the Road Warrior. My dad used nothing but Mack R600's back then and other than the steering wheel being on the wrong side it reminded me of our trucks. Ken
Very good video friend MAX
Thanks 👍
Happy days Max, g'day mate, really enjoying these repair and service videos, it's a proper education
Hey , Cheers Ralfy 👍👍👍
The lathe is coming along great, it will be nice.
Thanks Randy . Eagerly waiting for you to crank up all that forging gear ! Cheers 👍

Cheers . I am just about to go & watch his latest ! 👍
Gday Max, you’ve almost got the machine by the balls and not far off having power though it, the pinion gear is worn quite bad and I’d forgotten about that, great job mate, cheers
Hi Matty . Getting close now ! 👍
Ahh old Dee Dee, yes he really does have some really good tips Max. The Lathe is coming along nicely.
Cheers . Yes , he has some good reminder sessions . A lot of stuff we know about but forget ! 👍
Thanks for answering my question and explaining that there is a lock on the taper slide Max.
Makes sense now.
No worries . 👍
That will be a nice lathe when you're done Max. Nice work.
Thanks Randy , i hope so . 👍
Thank you Max always lots of useful information. Greatly appreciated. I just got the South Bend milling machine. Very exciting times in my little home shop.
Hey thanks . I will check it out . 👍
OMG love your Double coated GSD!! What a joy they are!
Thanks 👍

Really enjoying this JFMT series as well as the little glimpses of the rust removal on the DS&G flat ways. thanks Max
No worries 👍
Thanks Max,
Looking a bit dapper in that workshop coat, thought you had gone all upmarket for a while
Cheers.
Lol , nothing up market in my shop !!! I think the Wife got sick of bits of swarf sticking to my clothes .... as well as the kerosine stink ! 👍

Great video Max.
Cheers to you M8.
Shop is coming together. 👍
Take care, Ed.
Thanks Ed . Cheers 👍

The cross slide of my lathe has the same horse shoe wedge adjusting for the lead screw. It works very well.
Hi Rusty . Yes , it's a great wat to do it . 👍
Nice job on setting cross slide leadscrew nut, the petroleum jelly should do the job, waterproof as well, many dont realise most greases aren't waterproof.
Coming along nicely Max, nice to see some proper certificates 👍
Thanks for sharing.

Good show from Down Under
Thanks 👍
Can't wait to see both the jfmt and the DSG up and running... a little more the DSG if I'm honest but that's because it was made in England and they're just extra special lathes...
Lol , i would like to start the DSG as well ! Have to finish the JFMT first , as i need it to repair some of the DSG handwheels ! 👍

@@swanvalleymachineshop Sorry Max I missed that one. Cheers
another good video max ! thanks for the upload.
cheers ben.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the video mate. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺
Cheers 👍
Morning Max. All the best from the other side.
Cheers Graham . Are you lot getting as much rain as us , probably 5 clear days in the last 8 or 9 weeks ! 👍
Great video max,keep'um coming..
Cheers 👍
Well done mate 👏 👍
Thanks . 👍
Thanks max
No worries 👍
Sangat bagus semoga bermanfaat buat kita semua salam kenal dan sehat selalu untuk Anda dan keluarga.
Thanks . 👍
Thx for the vid.
No worries 👍
Hi Max, the headstock on the DSĜ is pure art, don't make them like that anymore.
Curves in all the right places ! As Roy Chadwick ( designer of the British Lancaster Bomber ) once said , '' If it looks right , it is right '' 👍

Thanks . I will be using the taper attachment to machine tapered shank tooling for my other machines . 👍
That is a deluxe lathe!

Coming along nicely. So how does Steven Alexander become Max? :)

@@swanvalleymachineshop Haha! I love that story. One of my favorite series of Mel Gibson movies.
WoW
Cheers 👍
👍
Thanks 👍👍👍
you look like J Cash all dressed in black
Walking the line !!! 👍
G'day Max can I pm you to have a small cash turning job done cheers
email me & i will see what you have . theswanvalleymachineshop@gmail.com
Always learn good things from you Max! Have to check out the "hair tonic", thanks for your time and skills.
Thanks 👍
