SNS 360: American Pacemaker Compound Tear-Down For Rebuild

Рет қаралды 159,390

2 жыл бұрын

I begin the repairs on the American Pacemaker compound slide. We'll begin with a disassemble which proved to be a challenge in itself. Once we get it apart I'll get everything cleaned up nicely and go over the plans I have in store for the repairs. We'll also start working on the t-nut needed for the new PeWe Tools Multifix Tool-post I will be mounting to it.

If there is enough length to the brass nut, you can incorporate a backlash adjuster by making a 2/3 deep hacksaw cut 1/4" from the end of the nut. At the beginning of that cut, drill two holes in that 1/4 section and tap them. All you have to do then is adjust the backlash by tightening the screws. This closes the gap on that saw cut and picks up that backlash.

I got a multifix from Peter and I love it! And as Adam said he was very, very helpful. What I thought I needed was wrong and he looked at my order and contacted me with his suggestions and sent me what I really needed. And for my trouble threw in an extra tool holder to boot. I highly recommend getting tool holders from him if you need one.

Man... I'm glad that I'm not the only one to have that kind of experience in refurbing an old machine... paint, oil, chips, filth, etc... concealing fasters and limiting movement has absolutely been the biggest theme in my own machine tool wrenching efforts. As for cleaning, I don't have a parts washer, but what I have found is the most effective/economical is using diesel fuel as a solvent and a green Scotchbrite pad.

@boelwerkr 2 жыл бұрын

I repaired such a crashed nut a while ago. I bored the old threads (plus 2mm) out made up a brass plug and soft soldered the it in (in place in the milling machine vise), drilled/reamed the inner diameter and cut the new thread on the lathe. it's holding up fine. I saved a lot of machining steps this way.

Don't use normal 6201 ball bearings. You need the 3201 angular contact bearings to take up the thrust and backlash

@Gottenhimfella 2 жыл бұрын

You can use deep groove ball bearings as if they were angular contact provided the thrust load is not excessive, and in fact most drill presses do exactly that. It would be fine in an inexpensive import lathe, but I agree that for a lathe of this class there should be an opposing pair of angular contact bearings, either with the inner ring end-faces ground underflush (by the bearing maker) to provide the correct preload, or by careful engineering of a suitable (cylindrically ground) spacer.

Adam, You are a machinist, Correct! Make the nut and cut the threads on the lathe using a form tool. Drill and (on rectangular brass piece first) cut the threads using the 4-jaw on the lathe. Counter-balance. if you screw up, you can always whip-up another one. File the butchered corners on the cross-slide and go to Sherwin Willians and get a gallon of Industrial paint in a bright lovely color of your choice. Paint the cross-slide and all the cast iron parts. Sand and polish the handles. You can paint the bed/headstock later, Hire some kid. The Multi-fix looks great. Oh yea, cut and throw away those 2 threads on the cross slide screw. My 2 pennies!

Indeed, but it doesn´t do anything (for the home shop guy, at least) which an old laundry tub and some kerosene in a cheap and cheerful lab supplies wash bottle, and stiff bristled brush and some Scotchbrite won´t do. Kerosene is not suitable for intensive long term use in production settings, but if you´re just refurbing the odd machine tool, its perfect. Kerosene used for parts washing can easily be retrieved and reused by settling it over water: the dirt drops out of the kero (top) layer and can be drained away and disposed of (without polluting the grey water system). It´s an easy matter to make your own parts washer incorporating this principle with a cheap marine bilge pump. Fit a drain for the semi clean kero in the side just above the level of the water, and another drain (a large diameter screw cap) at the bottom for the dirty water. If you avoid putting oily parts into the kero it will stay relatively clean. start the process with a ¨total loss¨ stage (ie discarding the minimal amount of solvent needed to wipe off most of the oil) ScotchBrite is a product which delivers (crudely speaking) twice the performance for a price premium of 1.2x That orange stuff, on the other hand, turns those ratios on their head. I deplore the turn so many You Tube influencers are taking in the direction of promoting ¨affluenza¨. It is undoubtedly good for the Gross National Product, but so are such things as war and natural disasters.

Originally 3201s were sold as two back to back bearings but now are available as a single cartridge bearing w near zero axial clearance.
