Taking nothing away from your new machines and technology but to me, the Pacemaker is the star of the show. The old Pacemaker at Motion and the big shaft turning was the reason I started watching you.

You know, I follow almost 160 folks on youtube of all different interest, but I think I enjoy your videos most of all. Maybe because Im an old retired steelworker myself, or maybe because your videos are just so true and interesting to me. I would have loved to have trained (worked) under you. Thanks for all the great videos....from one steelworker to another! 😃

I love seeing these videos of old machinery being revitalized. I remember talking with a machine scraper 40 years ago, he told me scraping cast iron is hard, it is easier if you are comfortable while doing it. That stated, I have done a bit and I think it is like welding. If you are in a comfortable position while doing it the results will be better..jmho.

Thanx Adam for the good instructional videos. Not too much talking, great music, inspirational stuff for those who need a little help in this field. 😃

It's great to see that wonderful machine getting the loving care it needs. The video work is also excellent and provided optimal viewing of this work. Without wishing to complain at all, I don't think the music adds to the video, but I know opinions vary on this. Thanks in any case for another wonderful video.

If you setup with the item at 45° to the table you have a reference to go by..... Looks good and will hold oil as desired!

Adam, you are not only a high-tech CNC machinist but also an artisan, able to lay down a really nice scraping pattern. The way you flattened that plate with a mill file and a pair of precision stones was a joy to watch.

I remember as an apprentice, hand scaping the ways and then hand spotting them. I was taught to create a crescent shape spot in a cross pattern, to retain oil. After many hours of practice l got pretty good at it, so much so that l felt it was a sham that it wouldn't be seen. Never used the electric scraper.

I would love a coffee table with the scrapping pattern. There are videos of these Japanese scrapers that do beautiful work it’s like art, your ain’t so bad either Abom

Attention to detail and not overdoing it ! wonderful. I hope this will be a great piece of equipment that will serve you well.

this is the content i love to see. quick clean up to put her to work!

Just doing maintenance and light overhauls on my equipment, I find an ultrasonic cleaner to be very useful for deep cleaning the parts before oiling and reassembly. Especially on any "touched" parts like handles and levers. Really gets them to the next level. Also gets the microscopic particles from chips and grinding out of the parts that normal cleaning doesn't remove.

Adam, really like the intro. I enjoy the behind the scenes stuff as much as the machining. Most folks don't appreciate the amount of work needed to maintain the 'old iron".

Absolutely LOVE the intro roll on this, and the music score fits PERFECTLY!

Glad to see the pacemaker getting some love. I am still looking forward to some big heavy cuts on it. 🙂

It’s amazing to think that that old beast could still be making chips in ANOTHER 80 years.

Finally some real machinery again!

Thank you for another nice video.

Your channel is always fun to watch. One of the first videos I watched was you turning some really large item on the lathe. Listening to you talk through your projects, it’s obvious you have a passion and skill. And often, you are also like Bob Ross. Your channel is very relaxing. Thank you for doing what you do.

Looking really good. Will be nice to have the Pacemaker back up and running. Thanks very much for sharing.

That was fast and will hold oil. Good job.

I'm looking forward to my this after refurbishing my old Logan lathe. I'm a little nervous so I'll have to practice a bit on some sheet metal I have laying around the shop. Thanks for sharing this.

That is a tricky job Adam. Well done, it looks great and it makes sense to have it on the upper surface only. Keep up the good work.

I like the regular intro better

Me encanta ver el raspado de maquinaria, ojala pueda seguir subiendo mas videos con este contenido. Fan desde hace más de 4 años.

I remember when you visited that guy to practice this. Nice to see you applying the knowledge. Looks great! Also looks like a lot of fun.

I like the pattern. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work on the flaking. Thanks for the video.

If you want to move away from the Sharpie marks, put your piece at a 45° to your bench. If the workpiece is square or rectangle, you can visually reference off the edge of your bench to make nice estimated 45° angle passes.

I can hardly wait to see that big boy making chips

Looking great man , your scraping / flaking has improved substantially in the last few years . I really need to get to practicing my own. Looks fantastic thanks for sharing your journey up to this point 👍

Interesting the scraping is 0.002" deep. I would have thought it was much shallower.

What an amazingly thorough job man you do very good work.

Nice Job Adam. I still have my Hand scrapers I used on a German Horizontal boring mill I used to own. And to All the doubter’s yes it helps the axis move much smoother if You have the proper lubrication. Good 👍🏻 Video

Looking good Like always getting things back in shape and useable 👍

Nice work Adam it's looking good. Nothing wrong with the witness lines especially if you don't use the scraper regularly. It's kinda like shooting a gun, yeah you can hit the target but your groupings are more consistent when you practice. I found that my rows are more straight when I lock my elbow against my side and dip side to side from the hips as opposed to twisting at the waist. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Adam

YOUR DOING GREAT SCRAPING, ( I THINK ) PATTERN LOOKS GREAT

I was amazed at how much material was coming off. Thought it was a scratch but that why they call it scrape i guess lol. Nice work!

For a total clean. I found to clean old cast iron inside and out is to do a cascade soap boil out. I use half a 50 gal drum with 2" ID pipes laid in the bottom to circulate heat around the part to do the boil out in. Works very well. It draws all the old grease and emulsified oils out of the cast irons crystal substrate. Than after a torching to draw out the last of the water. I than put the part while it's still hot in 3n1 oil to soak over night.👍👍👍👍👍Even use a 5 gal industrial sonic cleaner for all the other parts using cascade.

beautiful work Sir

Good video.Thank you.

Thank you

Finally some elbow grease. Great job Adam.

Maravilha de trabalho esta máquina ajuda muito neste trabalho, fica perfeito!!!

That's a level up for you mate, scraping is an art👍👌🇦🇺

Kudos!! I’ve been wanting to learn scraping I have an older Bridgeport I want to work over,, I’ve seen the finished result on instagram you did a an amazing job!!

I’m gonna upvote just to spite all the whiners. You know you don’t have to watch this, right?

Good old Biax. They're made in my neighboring town. They also got a monastery there which is unesco world heritage

Thanks for sharing

Great stuff as usual.

Biutiful!! Adam. Como siempre todo a la perfeccion !! saludos desde Uruguay

good job

Great stuff thanks for sharing

Alway a pleasure watch your video Thank you

Exelente trabajo amigo 🙏

like a fine watch.

Yet another excellent video.

Bonsoir de France ville de Grenoble Vous êtes super Adam toujours dans le calme la mécanique vous parle même si vous êtes seul dans vôtre atelier la musique est inutile dans la précision c'est mieux d'entendre le bruit du grattoir

Great content

Very cool work! :)

A little blue would help show what you are knocking down.

Nice video, it seems harder when you are the machine skimming over the metal instead of just cranking a wheel.

Going to be a good one

It would make an interesting video if perhaps Adam (or even someone else) would do a demonstration of different surface oil or lube retention methods .Compare grooving, scraping ,or flaking on similarly sized surfaces and amount of cycles from wear movement and whether or not both wear surfaces need treatment and compare them to a control untreated surfaces, just an idea.

Finally a shaping video

have you considered getting a vapor blasting cabinet? seems like it would be an excellent addition to your shop for cleaning parts

Really like the new soundtrack. The old one was getting a bit weary.

nice

Es sieht aus wie eine 3D Illusion, Funktion und Schönheit treffen zusammen😃

Love this channel, been a follower for about a year now, also HI to all the Engineers out there, i`m not an Engineer myself sadly but my Father was so i inherited some of his love for precision and quality, i`m a 53 year old Kitchen Installer from the UK with almost 40 years experience who takes great pride in the quality and accuracy of my jobs, i`m also heavily into ancient engineering techniques, specifically how the so called Dynastic Egyptians cut and polished igneous stone like Granite and Diorite which has a Mohs scale hardness of 6 - 8, there are a good few Engineers out there now who believe, as i do, that these highly accurate monuments and statues were cut on machines similar to lathes and mills, the precision on some of these artefacts is to within 100th of a millimeter yet were are told by the mainstream archaeological community that they were done using copper tools, chisels and dolorite pounders BY HAND, anyone who knows Quartz, as i do as we use it for countertops, knows it can not be cut or shaped using copper or bronze tools to this precision, also under a microscope these objects don`t show impact marks which you would associate with chiselling and hammering, they are perfectly smooth, perfectly square and they even pass the light test with an engineers light test you can`t get that accuracy by hand, many of these artefacts show evidence of tube drills cut at a rate that we can`t replicate even with today`s highly advanced CNC machines, there`s evidence that huge 1200 tonne blocks and single columns were cut using a huge overhead circular saw and Live Centre holes in the bases of 200 - 300 tonne single piece granite pillars, there is an English Aerospace Engineer who moved to the States called Christopher Dunn, his qualifications are second to none in the field of Engineering, he`s travelled to Egypt and other locations around the globe and conducted tests on many of these artefacts and he`s concluded they had to have been cut and created using ancient engineering machines, something we are told never existed in pre history yet the evidence discounts that, there is a channel on KZfaq called UnchartedX presented by an aussie guy called Ben, his channel is dedicated to exposing these incredible highly accurate artefacts and calls for academia to acknowledge that there was once a long lost forgotten ancient highly advanced civilisation that existed before 12.500 years ago and was erased from human history by what`s known as The Younger Dryas Impact, a theory that has since been proven correct and it`s been peer reviewed, my big ask in all this to all you Engineers out there is to have a look at Chris Dunns work and Ben`s over at UnchartedX, see the evidence for yourselves when you get time and if at all possible lend your expertise and engineering knowledge to their work, the more skilled engineers who get on board the quicker science and archaeology will take it seriously, the theory is that in pre history there was a highly advanced global civilisation that had the knowledge and technical ability to build these ancient monuments and that the Dynastic Egyptians only uncovered, inherited and repurposed these sites thousands of years later once Earth`s climate settled down and human population and society was rebuilt, a big ask i know but i know these guys would appreciate your time and skilled knowledge to either agree with their hypothesis or point out errors in their theories, thanks for reading all this, i appreciate it cheers.

Looks excellent Adam. You're clearly doing an excellent job. I'm just wondering why you used a power scraper and not the power flaker ? It seems to have done a good and less aggressive job but when I was building machines we used a flaker for oil grooves regularly. It definitely does the job for a smooth machine axis though. 👍

Grate ...thank you liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ....

Tay nghề quá đẹp

I always enjoy the scaping. I have a plans sheet for a complicated eyebolt for an antique aircraft that I have made. I thought you might like to have a copy to see how you could program one of the new machines to make it. let me know if you are interested.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought you put a Guilloché pattern on the surface like the do on the inside plates of a watch.

Hi 👋 Adam.

Might be a target area for a chunk of metal or a chuck that plops down out of control.

That’s a super idea! I like the randomness of the pattern. It reduces long term wear and can’t be matched by any automated machine. I guess there’s a reason that machinists have been hand scraping for …well… EVER!

Perfec

So glad my right ear finally gets to enjoy the intro music. Great video as always, Adam.

Bonita técnica me gustaría hacerlo aunque sea una vez 🙏👍

Hi Abom,79, could you use your CNC milling machine to do the hatch pattern ?

Im just curious but shouldnt u avoid honing the stones over the workpiece to keep anything u knock off from landing on the workpiece which could then end up under the stone gouging the metal? Probly not important here but seems like something youd want to just make a habit of not doing

Do you reference one side of the compound to the other so both sides form a single plane?

Best machinist with bate hands, conventional machines and now with cnc

The music changed. Prepare for the outage! Nice choice on the new tune.

Great footage, there is always something to learn from your videos but, *Adam* please can you tell me what grit size your precision stones have, or what grit size is useful ? Special Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

Using a sharpie to draw lines with a 45 deg triangle really helps alignment of flaking.

Can that center post be removed? The entire surface looks like it needs to be milled a few thou. Clean your stones.

Do you know what material the gib is made of?

Abom time

This might be a silly question. But here goes. So the scraper makes micro groves for a reason, so you do it. But so does a fly cutter, or a face mill. I know this compound wasn't freshly made, but on a brand new part, would the machine marks serve the same purpose as a scraping operation?

Adam, if someone was to per say Link a few of your videos into their course content for instructional purposes how would you feel about it?

Негода одобряет!

I seen you were looking for a oil gun Keith Rucker has one you should contact him.

This comment section is a bunch of babies lately. Why do you guys feel the need to be toxic? I just don’t get it. Yes fellas, changes happen. Thats what happens when you work. Waaaa, the music- Waaaa, CNC- Waaa, sponsors! Wheres my trophy? I watched the video too. Nice video Adam.

I remember finding you when you just had a few hundred subscribers. You’ve come a long way man. What do you do to continue learning about the work you do?

I love the test plate, looks like snake skin :)

I wanted to see the face of the boss who saw what his eager employee did to his very expensive vice, must have been priceless!, "Johnson!!!!, what the fcuk have you done!?", "Sir" says Johnsons best friend, "He is already home sir!".
