Sorry, I hate when that happens.
Curiosity Stream, eh? I knew it! You're white-n-nerdy like I am! lol
I think you're going to need a shop expansion soon....
there are thousands of "restored to the last bolt" lathes on youtube. many are absolutely beautiful when complete. imho, make the tolerance's as close as you can but do not paint. the paint wear spots on your machine represent it's life character, the "been there tee-shirt" so to speak.
@@jackclark1994dude that guy sounded just like hank hill when he said, I've had this back here for ahwhile
I just have to say that is the politest forklift I have ever heard
Great goodness it's true, that backup signal was so gentle!
Haha was thinking the same thing!
It's so polite i was genuinely double taking for 30 seconds wondering what the heck was going on. :))
That's the Japanese spirit.
Me too. What a lovely sound!
Can't wait for the next installment in the inheritance machining cinematic universe. I hope they expand on the new lathe arc
I don't thanks I have a choice in the matter haha thanks!
Don't be silly, a rotary tool can't have an "arc" lol
@@Nevir202oh brother
Thank you Craig, all the projects, side projects and side side projects for this will keep us entertained for a while.
Yes! Thank you, Craig!!
Don't forget about us. Definitely some tasty content coming from this one. 😁
Thanks Craig!
Oohhh, side side projects!
Hooray for Craig! I foresee a series of videos on the restoration of this lathe. Please don't spare us the details. We like details!
And side projects! Especially the unnecessary ones.😁
@@taitano12 No doubt there will be plenty of these 😂
I'll be including everything I can!
Well done Craig, I hope that he realizes he didn’t just give you a gift. The hours we all will spend watching you make things will inspire so many to go and get a machine and try it out for ourselves. I’ve had an old South Bend 9a living in my shop for years unused, in the spirit of Craig I’m going to start using it or find someone who will.
This is the best comment I could read! Very good point I hadn't considered. Give that machine some love!
Now that's cool !

Those are some very kind words, Matt. Thank you so much. I do have to give a ton of credit to my wife who had a lot to do with getting this channel where it is and is still a vital part of it. We do this as a team and I couldn't do this without her!
I think a big part of it is while there are several other channels, they all post at a fairly low frequency compared to e.g. vloggers. So much like YT animators, if you like the similar ones you almost certainly have time to add another to your list. And I love to see such a community of creators that support the others.
On that note, it would be really cool to see IM be part of Makers' Santa soon
Ditto.
Craig, Craig, he's our man! If Brandon can't fix it, no one can! Gonna love the repair process, keep it up.
😂 Thanks!
If anyone deserves a gift like this from Santa Craig, it’s definitely you! And it is just as much a gift to your YT fam, so thanks for regifting!! Can’t wait to see more 😊
You are very kind! I'll be doing my best to share the whole process!
Loved the video. I would suggest that you paint your shop walls white the next time you tear things up. The unfinished plywood eats up a lot of light. I finally painted my work area when I was in my 40's and it made life easier. Now in my 70's I find more light to work with than before.
White walls would blow the camera out.
@@grntitan1 No, they make everything else brighter too, so you just turn down the exposure
@@grntitan1You think we can't film in a room with white walls?
Thanks! I've debated on painting and I kindof like the warm feeling it gives the shop (though I know this could be achieved with warmer lights too). One advantage of the plywood though is dirt and dust doesn't become immediately apparent 😂
Paint the dang walls!
Humble, generous, and from the video looked like a pleasant guy too. SHOUTOUT TO Craig 👍
Craig's a gem. And I'm not saying that because he gave me a lathe.
I just love seeing people wanting old stuff to find life again. Especially when gifted to another just to share joy with even more people! Y'all are all awesome people, thank you for the joy you bring to myself and the rest of us. Past and in the future with this beautiful piece of history.
They all just need a little loving haha thank you, sir!
I work at Chrysler(Stellantis) Kokomo transmission in Kokomo indiana and we have 6 of these, and they are nice I want to have one of my own, they are so easy to run, enjoy it!
Hey.. so are you the one posting all these super tempting machinist tools and equipment on facebook marketplace? Lol I see a lot of really good deals up there in the Kokomo area. (I’m south of you about an hour in Monrovia)
There is still a few large manufacturing plants up there in that area and I’m sure that’s where a lot of all these goodies I see are coming from. That or there is a lot of real serious hobbyists machinists on the north side ! Lol 🍻
Another great video. Thank you Craig for the lathe. Can't wait to see it fully fixed and working, looks like a fun project.
Popcorn+ "IM" best combination at evening ✨
Craig is one awesome guy!
Btw i LOVE restoration projects like this, hope to see a lot of it!
He is! No doubt I will have a lot of content here!
Craig seems like a down to earth and funny guy. What a lovely bloke and what anamazing gesture. Craig, you're a legend mate! I'll raise a dram of fine malt to you later.
Thank you. It’s easy to help good people tho ;)
One joy of acquiring a “used machine” is getting to make replacement parts for it. Oh so much more satisfying than buying a brand new machine. Looking to watching you resolve all the issues with this nice looking lathe. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😎
I 100% agree. Thanks as always man!
A generous man, and a lucky (very lucky) man. And a very understanding engineer-wife. Loved the video, looking forward to more on this machine. Thanks. Les in UK 🇬🇧
Thanks, Les! 😁
Hope to watch you restore this awesome lathe!
Oh there will be plenty more to come!
It's an absolute joy to see someone as passionate as you are about machining.
I also love seeing all the old dings in my machines, they remind me that someone else used this before and on some of them some of those dings are from over 100 years ago, you cant just buff history like that away
Exactly!
I fixed up a hardinge hlv at work to preform better, but unfortunately it had seen too much neglect over the years and it needs a full regrind of its bed. I still can get that to make parts +/- 0.0002 on diameter and lengths. Love that lathe.
That's impressive despite the wear! Had me extra curious how this one will perform!
As someone going through this very same exercise (not the "got it for nothing" bit, but the "just got it home, gotta figure out what I got here" bit) on a similar lathe, I have to admit that this vid hit close to home. So glad to see that you were able to make at least *some* chips!
Watching your channel has been so nice. Brings me back to machining and building things. I remember when I started I felt so bad when I messed something up. And then I watched my senior operators messing up and realized it's part of the job. I'll never forget the day when the man that taught me everything I knew asked me for advice on something.
I was a CNC guy for the majority of my career. But Hardringe lathes are pretty much my favorite machines of all time. They are capable of very close tolerance work !
Side projects galore. Lathe's go!
Nice one Craig! You're a welcome reminder to everyone who can be a Santa Craig for someone this season, to tap into that spirit of generosity.
Getting lathed makes me get that horrible lathe accident video in my head again...
🤣 You spin me right round, baby right round ... 📢🎶
I love your videos! gives me so much motivation to work on my own projects!
Glad to hear it man! Thanks
Beautiful... I foresee a year's worth of headscratching repair/fix videos...😂😂😂
So what can this lathe do that the previous one can't? Is this lathe replacing the other one or do they have different uses? I had these questions in my head the entire video and would be nice if you talk about it in the next video
Quicker to swap between collet and chuck setups when there are dedicated machines. These are also ultra-precise and a dream to single point with.
Wow, What an amazing gift! Craig seems like a great dude. It’s great to see people like Craig exist in this crazy world we live in. I can’t wait to see this lathe once you’re done with all the restoration.
I think there are a lot of people out there like Craig. You just never hear about them because they are humble and quiet. At any rate Craig really is a gem
Wooow, so happy for you, I can almost feel %10 of your joy cause IHM is my fav channel. Congratulations
Thank you! 😁
OMG those wood slabs. Wow.
I feel the same way each time i see them :)
I can see an amzing series emergung of you and this machine having an adventure together lol
That’s magic , just shows you there are still decent people out there ready to do you a good turn even if sometimes they seen few and far between.
Great video 👍🏻
I’m very glad you started making videos, you made machining school bearable and I look forward to every time a new Inheritance Machine video comes out!
Watching you clean your lathe makes me remember i need to clean mine soon! Just got a 308 lb anvil for blacksmithing to place on one side of it and the plasma cutter is on the other...which dust source will mess it up first...time will see! lol
11:27 if you ever happen to not be able to fit a wrench in some place, get the closest size torx that's just a hair bigger and hammer it in. Get a decent quality one, impact rated. The torx's star points wedge themselves into the hex and grab it really well.
14:55 a modification i've seen on such fixed systems is to remove the gib, machine some inserts where the cap screws are that are threaded and drill 4 holes + three threaded ones between the 4 existing ones. The threaded inserts in the gib accept cap heads that are now screwed from the outside and the three new holes between are given grub screws with the area that's touching the gib replaced with three small pucks of stainess steel that area inserted in there. This was done to a really old lathe from the interwar period (ww1 to ww2) which had basically the same setup.
Absolutely love it! Looking forward to all the updates you are going to do with this machine, making it better than new! Love the channel!
It's going to be a journey for sure! Thanks!
Craig hooked you with a side project content machine!!! Craig and your neighbor are the real MVP's!!
For real 😂
this was a project car but for machinist lol. Love you videos and the voice overs!
Brandon. First, I want to congratulate you on your new lathe. I had to watch your video twice as I was elated that you acquired such a great lathe. I ran HLVH's for 30 plus years. So, when I retired, I felt that I needed one to fill out my home shop. I already had a Victor 16 x 60 engine lathe that was English Metric. Searching as I did, I could not find one that was in a decent condition in my affordable price range. Then one day a machine tool dealer contacted me whom I have dealt with before and said I have something that you might be interested in. It turned out to be a Taiwanese clone of a Hardinge HLVH. It is a Feeler FTL618e in very good condition with only minor paint chips on it. Story has it, it came out of a well-known toy manufacturer in western NY. When I bought it there was copious amount of cosmoline in various areas still on the machine which I had to clean off. I was told that the machine had been in storage in their facility for ten years or possible more. This was a dream come true for me as it has for you with your new lathe. Mine was not gifted to me but the price and condition of the machine made it worth the price. I just want to comment on your new acquired lathe. You might want to step down from the BXA tool holder to an AXA holder. It is in keeping with the with the scale of the lathe, your choice of course. Also, as Hardinge in their manual only recommends oil base coolant when machining otherwise water-based coolant will stain surfaces. I am looking forward to your videos as to your progress on your lathe. I will chime in when appropriate to help if I can. Love your content!!
Congratulations dude! Was about high time! WOOHOO!!! ;)
Looking forward to seeing more of the restoration and upgrading you'll be doing, and the projects you'll be using it for.
Oh there will be plenty of that! haha Thanks
That's a man who knows the value of giving from the heart , bring on those side projects ! .
Wow, that is the biggest “ohh shiny” grin I have seen in a long time. While most of my friends are sitting watching sports, I’m in my shop like you…. I also put stuff of till the very end as well.
Yeh, his feet didn’t touch the ground the first 3 hours he was so excited
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Thanks for sharing this video, I am looking forward to all the 'projects' and 'side projects' related to getting this new lathe operational.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
As a non machinist, but avid watcher of machinist CZcams channels...can you maybe go into detail at some point about what exactly this new lathe does that your existing one can't do? Is there a major precision advantage to this new one? Is it just easier to work on a smaller lathe for some parts? Thank you!
Exactly what I was thinking
Can do! Thanks for pointing that out! I get a little caught in the weeds sometimes 😅
@@InheritanceMachining thank you! 🩷
Great gift for the holidays. Looking forward to future videos on those repairs....I am sure there will be lathe updates as well. Love your videos.
My dream machine tool. And a rebuild project. Awesome!
Somebody gift this man a bigger machine shop!
I'm going to love watching this new series!
3:00 Dang truck had me checking my fridge door LOL
What a wonderful gift. I hope you give the lathe and cabinet first class paint jobs when you have everything fully repaired. I think a new and bigger shop is going to be needed soon.
And right on time for my weekend, because historically watching you clean your shop/the tools therein actually gives me the motivation/inspiration/kick in the ass to clean my house and/or finish any number of projects I have going, I will see if that streak continues. Thank You so much, the value you create is broader than you may know
Thanks man! Never my intention but sure nice to hear these projects are more than just entertainment. Good luck on the projects!
@@InheritanceMachining You are most certainly welcome/No Thank You. Above and beyond the motivation aspect, I (and I can't be alone) find it super cool to see the insides/how the machines are put together
@@andyspillum3588 Well I can almost guarantee you'll see a lot of this one! 😂
@@InheritanceMachining Nice, can't wait for the new lead screw/ assembly
So awesome. You'll clearly be busy for a while but a video on the cleaners, oils, greases, and lubricants you use in the shop would be cool.
Thanks! I'll try to mention them next time. I'm not particularly picky though haha
We have that exact same model of lathe at work! Sadly, it's in very rough shape from lots of people who don't know what they are doing using it.
I’m working at a place that has a nice manual machine shop. I only took one semester of machine tool shop on top of my welding certification. They will never hire me for the machinists position but I will find training and get a machinist position eventually. Moral of the story is I walk by the lathe every day just to keep my dream alive… and I watch your videos. Thanks brother. You really do a good job showing all the details and the struggles.
Congratulations! A nice lathe for restore!
Thanks!
Can you tell a none machinist what's so special about the new Lathe to go to all this effort ? Also thank you Santa Craig for your generosity.
I have the same exact question, a quick explanation would be lovely in the future since I assume a lot of non-machinist watch this channel.
@@TheITWarriorI think he explained it quite well in the next video.
@@DJlegionukYeah he did! I watched the next video right after and that cleared it up. Still think doing it in this video would have been better but oh well. Enjoying the videos anyway.
Thanks Craig for the gift for all of us. Not every day one has the chance to receive a lathe just when Christmas is around the corner.
I love watching you clean and disassemble/reassemble things. Very relaxing!
cheers for Greg/Craig!
I am so happy when people like Craig are paying it forward. Obviously only someone really passionate about machines would do such a give away. But I am glad it was toward someone who deserves that machine and who can bring it to factory like condition. Looking further to the upcoming projects!
You are very kind, Vasi. Thank you 🙏
Thank you craig! Truly enjoy seeing the good in people! So excited for the future side project extravaganza!
Have you considered the air bearing tail stock mod?
I took a matching class for fun where I worked and they had several Hardinge lathes in the model shop. A neat mod they did on them was tap a hole into the casting for the tail stock and connect an air line to it that pressurized the inside of the casting. When the tail stock was locked it sealed everything. However, when you unlocked the tail stock to move it, the air pressure lifted it off the ways a bit and it created an air bearing! You could move it around with one finger! And with a tee fitting on the air line, it was also a convenient place to e to connect an air hose for blowing off chips. This only works on these lathes because of the solid dovetail ways.
Sometimes i wish i had a forklift. I have absolutely no use for one, but still
Like me wishing I had a lathe and a mill. I live on a 37' (11m) boat and have absolutely nowhere to put them but I want them anyway.
Ah, finally. A new upload to continue my procrastination
Whoa Christmas came early. Thank you Craig!! We are going to enjoi this one a lot.
I have a lot of hours on a Hardinge lathe identical to that one, and I loved it for small and precise work. The only thing that I don't like is the threading process, not being able to disengage the lead screw on all threads like you're doing a metric thread and the little quick retract on the compound always moved on mine. Also wish there was a positive stop between low and high range.. can't count how many times I've had something spinning at the faster end of low range and went a little too far and kicked it over to high range instead of stopping. Looking forward to seeing what kind of awesome stuff you will use this lathe to make!
You can't go wrong with a Hardinge type lathe. Yours is even the English/Metric version.
I have two Hardinge HLVH lathes, neither is an E.M. though.
They are a breeze to thread with.
I might have to reserve all of my threading for it now haha Just that little bit I did was addictive
what's the difference between this new lathe and the one your grandfather left you?
A whole lot of difference!
This new one is a lot more accurate, and is made for making precise parts with the highest precision. The other machine is a more common engine lathe or shop lathe. The new one is mostly found in the tool rooms where the basic engine lathe parts are made.
It’s for making smaller parts that are far more precision then the basic engine lathe can produce.
Hope that helps answer your question. Have a good day.
@@jasonhull5712 it does! Thanks!
I had to rewind that intro over and over again just to listen the intro music over and over again. It reminds me of the last time i was happy long time ago. Makes my heart fly...heartwarming yet saddening. What a strange unrelated topic from the video
As a retired tool & die maker I have really enjoyed your videos.
Hopefully you will continue to make many more.
And MOST hopefully at least a few willbe of you putting your new lathe to good use.
Heck if he’s giving away that knee mill too…I’ll see you when you get here with it. 🤣🤣🤣
I'll arm wrestle you for it! That would be a massive upgrade from my old Millrite.
Knee mill is indeed a project in kneed
What's the difference between this lathe and the one you already have?
What are you, his wife? 😉
if i understand correctly its a bit like a normal drill and an impact drill they can potentially do the same things but one is more suited to a type of task and not as much for the other.
simple answer: its for different use cases
(thats what i think anyway feel free to correct me im not exactly a professional anyway)
One is more differenter than the other one, obviously.
20:09 the quick release for threading looks SO convenient, but I’m curious if it sacrifices rigidity. The threads look like they’re sort of shaving apart on the V’s, which might mean that something is rubbing idk
What a great find! I had a pretty good idea what it was with that first quick shot of the carriage control. You must be living right. I hope this is the start of some really epic videos. Thanks for this one!
Can anyone tell me why this specific lathe is special? What makes it a dream lathe compared to any other one? I don't know anything about machining or lathes but I like watching these videos, so I'm a bit clueless.
Precision
Hlv style lathes are built to be more accurate than a regular "engine" style lathe. The spindle, carriage, and tailstock all ride on the same huge dovetail vs an engine lathe where the spindle and head are mounted separately from the carriage and tail stock that ride on two rails.
@@NerfMozambique Thanks!
I learned something new here too! 😂
So.... You found the Lathe on Craig's list?
And so it begins. There is much work in your future! Your to-do list isn’t too bad, for now. A little fix here, another there, and before you know it, you will be getting the bed plate ground, bonding Turcite to the saddle, scraping in the cross slide and compound, then you make the decision to shim the bed plate (to restore lead screw alignment), or bonding Turcite to the tailstock and scraping it as well. Shimming the bed plate is effective, but we considered it a shortcut for these machines. Then come spindle bearings, the speed control system rebuild, and on and on. Speaking from experience here, because that’s how it went for me. I didn’t get quite the deal you did on my 1969 Hardinge HLV-H, but I did well. FYI this style of machine only needs to be adjusted for coolant return to the sump. And while were talking coolant, never use water based coolant in your machine. It will eventually find it’s way into the apron gearbox and ruin the clutches. The bed plate base “floats” on those spring mounts inside the motor cabinet, and there are two more on the tailstock end. It won’t be long before you are chasing tenths in headstock and tailstock alignment. The Hardinge spec on taper is .0001 max, in 6 inches. We managed to get mine to .00007 in 10 inches. These are truly amazing machines. My buddy and I have rebuilt 3 HLV-H to date. I’m going to say it now, good luck with the resto/rebuild. We will enjoy the trip with you. Congrats.
Thanks Charlie! You seem to know quite a bit about these machines! Just this little bit reveals so much I wasn't aware of but also confirms some of my suspicions. Thank you for sharing what you have so far. And to be honest I hope you share more! 😂
@@InheritanceMachining I think most find shimming the bed plate the way to go because machining the tailstock is a big time work holding problem. So, we built a fixture to machine away material on the underside of the tailstock to make room for the Turcite bond. The fixture registers off the tailstock bore and has fine pitch and yaw adjustment to dial in the setup.
@4:12 is the Perfect Christmas Card photo! The joy in your eyes is priceless. 😂
i love this channel. and i think it safe to say, two weeks don't fly fast enough. thanks for sharing.
That's a cool gift to receive and no shortage of upcoming projects. We had an AML-618 knock off at the shop I used to work at. It kinda worked but it had a lot of problems, just like yours. I had to make a new acme nut for our tail stock (I know none of the cool kids use the tail stock). The drive clutches were worn on the power feed and I could not source new ones, the bed was worn pretty bad, the change gears sounded terrible, the lathe had no power on low speed due to the way they hooked up the motor. I had to fix all the dials. I ended up getting a new machine, they still have it I think they are not really using the shop anymore. I have a few videos on it.
16:45 wireless wall outlet, nice. Where do you source them ?
I have a Monarch 10ee. It was also a gift. I am both honored and humbled to have such a machine in my home shop.
That forklift is cute, I love it. So much nicer than those gas ones too.
Nice lathe, great video, lots of follow-up to watch.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂
God I'm jealous😂 but yeah, thanks Craig!
I feel like I need to use this video as a place to talk about dream lathes. Because even though I don't own mine, I do get to play with it. I love the old-ish Weiler precision lathes, and lucky for me, in the local community workshop (it's essentially a shared workshop run as a club) there is one ^^
A Weiler LZ 300, with all the things. A complete set of collets (including shallow clamping ones), a cylindrical grinding attachment, a milling axis attachment, self centering and adjustable chucks, all the change gears, high quality, specifically made for it turning tools, and probably a lot more that i cant remember right now.
It also needs some work mostly small things, and I really should get permission to do a lot of it. One dial doesn't turn reliably with the handweel, another doesn't allow adjustment, it isn't properly leveled, and the headstock bearings are starting to get a little warm when running at high speeds and loads. The live centre seems to like to squeal and some other details, but I've never hit a sub 1/100mm (~4 tenths) tolerance as easily as on this machine.
I have my own two lathes, one small hobby lathe from the 70s (very rigid for a hobby machine, i've even done some hardturning on it) and one i guess engine lathe, probably from the 20s or 30s, with a lot of wear and some dogey mods by previous owners (for example the retrofit electonic motor. Since yk, it was originally run off of a line shaft xD).
In the community workshop we also have a Meuser, wich is quite nice, and can do anything we need it to, but god that Weiler has stolen my Heart❤
Very good video brandon..thanks for your time
Love this kind of video, working through problems bit by bit to achieve a larger goal is very satisfying
Great content. Take your time and don't get burnt out.
Thank you sir 🙏
Congratulations man. Excited to see all of the future projects you will create with this machine!
Thanks, man!
When I read the headline, my first thought was that the Lathe of Heaven got you and your shop was destroyed or something.
08:28 you know, a fractal vice would be a project that would benefit from a nice surface grind finish. Just saying 😉.
I’m so jealous! I would love a hardinge but one of those would be awesome instead. It’s lovely to watch the restoration.
Thanks! No doubt a Hardinge would be the golden egg but with the work this one needs Im optimistic I'll be able to get it better than OEM and as good as a true Hardinge!
Just starting to make it through your catalog. And the best ad for Curiosity I've seen yet! Love them.
Brendan - congratulations on your new 'score'! I will be eager to see what you do with your new, high-precision lathe - after you work through your to-do list of repairs, that it!
Thanks Ron! There's so much to do I'm not even sure I see an end in sight. But it's all about the journey, right?
