- I wanted to put a video together to show all the work I had to do to get these ring rollers running. Some major parts were missing, and this is the story of how I made them and returned the machine to its original configuration! thanks for watching!

I love seeing the old machines at work, and wonder what's been made on them. The bit about not having the tooling to cut the teeth on the clutch was great, because that was the real problem back in the day. To make a better machine, you needed to find a way to do the thing the machine couldn't do.
Me too, I wish they could talk! Thanks for stopping by.
You have an amazing Collection of old Machines and the best thing is , you are actually using them!
Thank you!
I like to watch your old machine working . I have an old Kearney & tracker mill I'm working on . I think it was about 1920 because it has a large pulley on the back . I think that pulley would have been for a lineshaft Keep up the great vidoes
Great content, great commentary, great editing.
Thanks for your efforts restoring work and videos
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by!
Rare beast, great find and work!
Nice bit of kit. I have a besco arbor press. They made nice stuff
I've an asquith radial drill from the early 20s that's a lineshaft drive machine...
I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing it.
Wow, there is not much to find about setting up a lineshaft, so love to watch this kind of videos. Unfortunately I don't have a big lathe to read krone my pulley. So I go with what I find.
Cheers mate. I did the same for years, eventually you'll find the perfect one!
I enjoyed the video thanks
G'day Jonsey? i found this one of the best vids around at the moment.( subscribed) great to see the old lathe doing it's thing. like the large calipers,, they are still useful. i have a Smith Barker and Wilson from the teens ( looks like yours) still flat belt but elec motor, i noticed at the back of your lathe's saddle / cross feed you have a straight cut gear as i do, but have been told by so many that it is wrong because it runs on a worm on the rear shaft with a slight, maybe you call it a helix? is yours running on a straight cut gear or same as mine on that worm thing?? would love to know. i am about to set mine up for some threading which i have never done on that particular lathe , wish me luck. cheers.👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Interesting to hear of the SBW, another Halifax lathe!
The gear on the back of the saddle is driven by a worm and is cut with a slight helix yeah. The pitch of the worm is quite fine so it's barely noticeable, but it's there!
From the SBWs I've seen it should have pretty much the same arrangement as my lathe.
fantastic machine and refurb, I am one of the get it working and looking like its been used sort of people, I'll replace bushes with bearings if its possible but for the most part I actually quite like bushes, theyre a lot easier to make than bearings lol
What is the maximum sort of capacity it will work, it looks like you put it through its paces so I'm wondering if you have ever run it chunky just to see
Absolutely agree with you! All about what was original for me when it comes to bushes v bearings, in all but a very few cases!
I've rolled 1" square solid with it quite happily and also 1.5x0.5" flat the hard way! I've not pushed it any further than that but I expect it could manage a bit more.
Thanks for watching!
@@iron_jonsey wow thats one heck of a piece of kit...definitely blacksmith ready lol
