Having followed you working on this it's fantastic to see it up and running and now that lovely Dean Smith & Grace lathe is one step closer to getting some much deserved attention as well.
G'day Max. Nice bit of info about the fruit sales etc. Who would have thought. Sell an accorn off the tree & no Insurance. The lathe assembled means you can breathe a little better,and get to show us what it can do 😊 Well done Max Patience & Perserience, & slowly winning the Race.
It never seems to end the list of jobs, does it? But your certainly plowing through. Somehow some mysterious bastard keeps making a huge mess in my garage just after ive tidied up and put everything away. It never seems to stay tidy. But we soldier on. Great job getting it all put back together.
Hi Max, Nice to see the JMFT nearly crossing the finish line. All those carful checks and rechecks are so important, I know I get so excided to finish a long project it's easy to miss something or take a shortcut. Thanks for that insurance message, I wouldn't put it past them here in the states to pull the same thing. Like you say there always happy to take your money and be your friend until you really need them. It will be nice to see some chips flying 👍 Cheers.....
Epic effort getting the lathe finished. But in your true style, everything is done right the first time. Great series and looking forward to the next. Cheers.
I hate insurance companies with a vengeance, any excuse not to payout ; brilliant videos though, the love topics, and longer format. Cheers from Scotland 🥃🏴
G'day, Max. Brilliant project and fantastic explanation throughout. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action soon on a paying job. So what's next? See you soon, cobber 😉👍🏴⚒️
That JFMT will be an awesome resource for you going forward & assist greatly in getting other machines fixed / restored & working & it keeps adding to the diversity of tasks you can take on going forward. Inspirational stuff to watch. Wish I had even half of your knowledge & skills, but as you say that’s your trade & you’ve been at it long enough to be bloody good at all of it. Insurance company’s - don’t get me started. Loan you an umbrella while the suns shining & want it back the moment a cloud appears on the horizon. You could always “self insure” I guess.
Hi Max, Nearly there mate. I especially like that captive key in the feed shaft bush, nice design. Looking forward to seeing some chips. Best wishes, Mal.
Really solid, methodical work getting the lathe up and running Max. Nice work! That's a really nicely featured lathe with the rapids, and kick outs, etc... Should be a damn nice addition to your shop. Also excellent info on the insurance. They're weasels no matter what part of the world you live in.
You are quite the mechanic! One suggestion. You might check the elec. motor with amp probe under load and see what it's drawing per phase. 5% or less over plate on motor, I think would tell you motor bearings are in good shape
G'day from Arkansas, USA! Sorry to hear that the insurance industry in Australia seems to work about like it does stateside - over here, if a claims adjuster can exploit a loophole, they almost always will. Congratulations on getting the big lathe back in order, and keep up the good work!
@@swanvalleymachineshop if you have Spottify, I suspect you’d enjoy the old British radio show The Goon Show, there was on episode when they insured the English Channel against fire…
Great job the lubrication system function, and testing 👏. Valid point on home Insurance, same for motor vehicle insurance here in the UK, ref using for business. Thanks for sharing Max
Great job. Hey I don't know if you noticed or not but there's a bolt and nut that protrudes where the drive lead screw is connected to the drive right under where the lead screw is connected. I know you never were long sleaves but when you reach down and turn the machine on and off at the head stock, I could see that screw grabbing something and pulling it in and wrapping up what ever it grabs. I'm no safety Nancy but just thought you might cut that screw off at the nut or put a tapered pin in it. Probably was a taper pin, as I don't see you putting a screw in it probably was done before you got it but just thought I would mention it. love your videos
Been a long time coming that JFMT. The apron/ carriage oiling system is a bit of a dogs breakfast, having to manually select the slides or the apron internals, I bet that got forgot about on many of these. DSG next? I have a copy of a mid to late 20's DSG catalogue with the entire range listed, there was a lot of variations, the book is about an inch thick.
Hi , just a suggestion - on the original pump , could you machine 2 spot face's to take the non return valves like whats found in the old CAV fuel lift pumps ? They are only short , with the fibre discs and spring. Many thanks for an excellent channel Kind regards Paul
There must be a great deal of double garage businesses. Owning a industrial estate would offset costs. As my grandmother kept on having this conversation when I was a teenager. Insurance knowledge is vast with businesses & employees. Lemons are also a interesting area of discussion. It does help to have a good foundation. Be it knowledge experience or that mentor that helps in the process.
Nicely done Max. You might consider using Lubrication Engineers oil in the headstock. Their oil is a long chain polymer that gets thicker the warmer it gets, quieted a lot of straight cut gear trains for us. Take care.
Looks like you are off to the races Max. Interesting PSA on the homeowners insurance. They sure can think up ways to screw the public. Thanks for the video.
Looks like you’ve turned it into a really solid machine. How smooth is it? Can you feel much vibration at the toolpost location? My old - much much smaller - Chinese lathe was noisy, and it translated inti horrible vibration at the tool. But that was a terribly made drive to the feeds - yours looks solid. Thanks for the insurance reminder - that’s something I’ll be digging into today. Cheers and all the best.
Hi Max, I run GL-4 75-90 gear oil semi synthetic in my headstock, quietened it down from the 32 hydraulic oil recommended. Figured if its ok as used in rear differentials, pinion gear rotating on tapered bearings at 4000 rpm plus should be OK on my lathe. As you know I am in the tropics where the temperature never drops below 28c. Didn't see any significant current draw increase at higher speeds on the electric motor. Might be a solution on the JFMT to quieten it down. Nothing worse than standing next to a noisy headstock.
I hate a noisy lathe in your ear all day ! My concern with going away from hydraulic oil is the main spindle bearings . Some oils can cause the rollers to skid in the race instead of roll . 👍
Hi Max, do you need to install shear pins on the feedshaft and leadscrew or are there other forms of overload protection? My DSG had a ball clutch on the feed shaft and shear pin on the lead screw. Bed shears are generous in size, last long time. Lot quieter than my 13" lathe.
I will fit tapered pins , as it should have . Although because of the size of them , they will break the fibre change gear teeth first i suspect . The pin in my DSG is way smaller & the gear teeth way bigger . I could cut a couple of shear grooves in them though , better than destroying a big fibre gear ! 👍
Max that thing definitely has a bad bearing. Get yourself a mechanics stethoscope and you can pinpoint which one by probing around the areas where the bearings are located with it running. The loudest one will be the culprit.
Very few of us can afford parasite insurance company premiums now anyway…. They’re making biggest profits ever despite bemoaning natural disasters and calamities
Insurance companies belong in the same category as Undertakers. My insurance has trippled on my home and auto insurance in the last 3 years. They keep saying it is because of the increase in material cost to replace. I'm 72 years old. I do not need a 4 bedroom house. I would not rebuild it if it was totally destroyed. The price increase is not optional and the only way out is to purchase a new policy and that means they have the right to inspect your property and decline to insure it. Here in Texas You must pay insurance on each vehicle you own. No one drives them but me so why not just insure the driver? It is a damn political rip off. You can now carry a hundred dollars in groceries under each arm. "It's a damn shame"
Max, I’m so impressed with the job you’ve done bringing that beauty back to life. All the time working on your other machines and keeping your customers happy. Great job. Cheers, TB
Excellent reminder on the insurance. Thanks Max.
No worries 👍
Having followed you working on this it's fantastic to see it up and running and now that lovely Dean Smith & Grace lathe is one step closer to getting some much deserved attention as well.
Thanks . The DSG was looking too much like a shelf ! 👍
I need to check my insurance...thanks for the shout out, Max.
No worries . Cheers . 👍
What a MAGNIFICENT MACHINE. Lucky Dog!!!
Thanks 👍
This is where the great aussie tradition of giving the insurance agent a whack in the gob comes from..LOL
Lol , Cheers 👍
G'day Max. Nice bit of info about the fruit sales etc. Who would have thought. Sell an accorn off the tree & no Insurance.
The lathe assembled means you can breathe a little better,and get to show us what it can do 😊
Well done Max Patience & Perserience, & slowly winning the Race.
Cheers Ted 👍
Congrats Max, you've been sweating on getting Her going, so it's all Oranges & Lemons 🍊🥭
Lol , Cheers . How is your stash of No 5 or 6 tapered pins ! 👍

Brilliant project and fantastic explanation throughout. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action soon on a paying job.
So what's next?
See you soon, cobber 😉👍🏴⚒️
No worries . Maybe a bit on the DSG next . 👍
Another lovely quality job, Max. My only concern is, when speed feeding the cross slide, watch your nuts on the handle.
Lol . good point . I guess it will only get me once ! 👍
Far out Max mate, proper job well done 🎉 thanks for sharing and have a great one
Cheers Ralfy . 👍
Gday, very interesting, good to see the lathe back in one piece, cheers
Cheers Matty . I am betting that insurance thing could shaft you tubers as well in the wrong situation . Cheers 👍
Max you have a wealth of knowledge from experience of working
Thanks . 👍
Wow max another awesome episode, looking forward to the next instalment.

Cheers 👍
*_You're more than welcome to come work on my lathe any time you want._* 🤣😆
Lol , i have enough of my own to last me a lifetime ! 👍
What an awesome lathe Max. Well done. Wish I could get motivated and work on my Colchester 13x36.
No worries 👍

Just about ! 👍
Get those chips flying! Great advice on the insurance issue Max.
No worries 👍
Real find Max, I enjoy your channel looking forward to seeing your shop purring like a kitten including HBM
The HBM is getting closer ! 👍
Nice one Max. Good heads up on the bloody insurance stuff.
Cheers Graham 👍
Nicely done again Max cheers matey
Thanks 👍
Didn’t sound too noisy once you got it out of bottom gear Max. Look forward to seeing it in operation.
High range is a lot quieter . Cheers 👍
You are quite the mechanic! One suggestion. You might check the elec. motor with amp probe under load and see what it's drawing per phase. 5% or less over plate on motor, I think would tell you motor bearings are in good shape
I have fitted new bearings to the motor , it is all good . I could still get the electrician to check that . Cheers 👍
For the size of the lathe I did not think it was that noisy. Maybe it is louder in person.
Way louder in person ! 👍
Very nice lathe max, great info on the insurance..have a good one my friend..
Thanks 👍
Can’t wait until next video Grant 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cheers 👍
Nice Job! They do quiet down after running a while. You are making great progress getting your machines going!
Thanks Don 👍
As good as new. Or probably even better.
Close as i will ever get to new , except for my smaller lathe ! Cheers 👍
G'day from Arkansas, USA!

Your JFMT rebuild has been a good learning experience for me and enjoyable watching to boot Cheers!
Thanks 👍
Great job. Hey I don't know if you noticed or not but there's a bolt and nut that protrudes where the drive lead screw is connected to the drive right under where the lead screw is connected. I know you never were long sleaves but when you reach down and turn the machine on and off at the head stock, I could see that screw grabbing something and pulling it in and wrapping up what ever it grabs.

Probably was a taper pin, as I don't see you putting a screw in it probably was done before you got it but just thought I would mention it. love your videos
The bolt is temporary , to be replaced with tapered pins . Cheers 👍
Could drill a tiny weep hole in the back of the apron at the correct level. Can always plug it later.
Consider it an automatic oil changer 😁
Lol , that's one way ! 👍
It's a Hallmark day at The swan valley machine shop!! It has been a long time coming. Well done Max. Cheers
Thanks 👍
Wow. . so close to being a working lathe. . just amazing all the work you put into it to get it ready. . Great Job.
Thanks 👍
Been a long time coming that JFMT.
The apron/ carriage oiling system is a bit of a dogs breakfast, having to manually select the slides or the apron internals, I bet that got forgot about on many of these.
DSG next?
I have a copy of a mid to late 20's DSG catalogue with the entire range listed, there was a lot of variations, the book is about an inch thick.
I may start the DSG next , as all of it's parts are on the boring mill & i wanted to start the HBM later this year ! Cheers 👍
good video Max
Cheers 👍
Nice to see this up and running. I love that rapid traverse for all feeds!
Thanks 👍
you make a great Job.
Thanks 👍
Hi , just a suggestion - on the original pump , could you machine 2 spot face's to take the non return valves like whats found in the old CAV fuel lift pumps ? They are only short , with the fibre discs and spring.

Brilliant.
Cheers 👍
That might be the best option . I will keep that one in mind . Thanks 👍
Add a roller to the plunger to get the 10 mm and less side load.
That would work . Cheers 👍
I agree entirely with your comments about insurance.
UK is the same.
Basically you only find out what cover you have got when you claim.
And then they say no ! Cheers 👍
She goes thru the gears like a race car...nice video Max💯

Insurance companies collude with government insurance controllers and the insured get the bad end of the stick.
Sounds about right ! Cheers 👍
Brilliant max If that bush would of got stuck on that shaft that would of been just bloody cruel 😂
Lol , just a bit ! 👍
Nicely done Max.
You might consider using Lubrication Engineers oil in the headstock.
Their oil is a long chain polymer that gets thicker the warmer it gets, quieted a lot of straight cut gear trains for us.
Take care.
It needs thin oil for the spindle main bearings . Cheers 👍
Looks like you are off to the races Max. Interesting PSA on the homeowners insurance. They sure can think up ways to screw the public. Thanks for the video.
Cheers 👍
Great show Max👍 -Loving,Texas
Thanks 👍
Insurance companies are in business to take premiums from the customers and to pay out as little as possible in claims.
Not wrong there , as bad as banks ! 👍

I echo the comments regarding insurance. They have no trouble accepting your money, but slither out from under, when it comes time to pay up!
Lol , too true ! 👍
well done Max, It can start to earn it's keep now.😁
Soon ! Cheers 👍
Hi Max. That looks like a quality bit of kit. They’ve made a really good clone of the MAZAK. 👍🇳🇱
We shall see how it goes ! 👍
Thank you Max!

When the DSG is running , i will re bearing the input & counter shafts in the JFMT . The spindle runs quiet . 👍
Hi Max! What do you think about switching the rear gear strip with the front? might be possible... Ron...
I tried that . But due to the dowel & bolt holes , the sections will only fit one way . If the wear was worse , i would re drill them & swap them . 👍
Very few of us can afford parasite insurance company premiums now anyway….
They’re making biggest profits ever despite bemoaning natural disasters and calamities
Parasites they are ! Cheers 👍

What kind of tool post are you going to use on it?
Probably throw the Mulitfix back on it , as it's a genuine one . Cant quite afford a Dorian Quadra yet ! Cheers 👍
frigging insurance small print. And being aware and using it to advantage can be a crime, I've never won Max...yet
You will never beat them . They can use all of the money they take off everyone for the best lawyers ! Cheers 👍
