There are too many people in this world lacking mechanical sympathy, that somehow get their hands on tools and machine tools, causing generally unneccessary levels of stress for the rest of us. Still - here we are and another machine brought back from the verge of destruction. Excellent!

Great lessons as maint. due. Also, I take note of how well the scraping was done in past *manufacture and assembly. All along the tasks, how a focus of inspection to movement is a key part of re-assembly with accurate check and re-check. Quite all the effort to best performance as tool meets job and chip metrics. Properly schooled, I am heading for my workshop with a renewed energy and safety glasses. To fire up my old relic as a South bend lathe as not so much for any paying job as more to enjoy craftsmanship. It is fitted as an upgrade with a very nice quality 3 jaw chuck. My thinking as influenced where best simplicity might benefit workpiece .Thank's Max, for the great videos. *M.

Looks like a pretty decently thought out and built machine. My 18" Elliott does not have a built-in oil system, the machine is total loss, you fill all the oil cups before and during use and the oil gradually flows through the machine and drips out on the floor, but then it is British so its playing to type. It does have one handy feature, that being that is possible to pass a 70mm dia bar through the machine under the ram.

Max, in case you don't have a foundation drawing for *your* shaper, you can find copies of the foundation drawings for Cincinnati Shapers on Vintage Machinery. You obviously don't need their Parts Lists, Operator's Manuals, Service manuals, or Setup manuals, but they are there too for Cincinnati Shapers. I'm pointing them out only because I have to ASSuME that these big shapers are all very similar in construction/operation. Thumbs up! ;)

There's at least ONE problem, and possibly TWO with this machine's crank throw adjustment: The carriage that slides in the yoke, has no defined stop(think of the wedged gib as you would a lathe cross slide(Always clamped/adjusted at BOTH ENDS). Possibly second is the tail end support of the adjustment screw. - the screw MUST ALWAYS BE RIGID, but free to adjust(think lathe lead screw). If it has no support(dead or live(rotating support), then change it - machine tool manufacturers get things wrong too. For machines like this(high impact/transient loads, require HIGH TACK/COMPRESSION OILS. If specifically blended oils are a problem, then use. 90 grade GEAR(Yes it stinks and is as toxic as hell) oil mixed with 30-50 grade hydraulic oils until your satisfied. Keep up. The great posts.. Ps I exclaimed "crap", just before I was pleasantly surprised when you said it(gotta love YT algos)! 👍👍👍

Your machine inventory seems to be class a stuff. Obviously you have an eye for the good used machines. You've put together a great shop mate that any , machinist worth his salt would be happy to work in. Goes to show that experience is invaluable and that young folk need to look to guys like you more often to learn, but it seems the CNC world turned its nose up at manual machining, which is stupid cause CNC was built on the mannual machining. This world is heading in some strange directions that make me scratch my head a lot. This new generation has access to more information than any other, but seems to be getting stupider.

Thanks Max, what type of oil is used in those as I am sure a gear oil might be too thick and with the stroke mechanism, I have not been able to fully understand how the fast return of the ram acts, I know it has something to do with the bull gear but just puzzled as to how. I came across a shaper that did this the wrong way round an had a slow return. Thanks.
@dutchgray8615 күн бұрын
The return stroke happens over less than half of a complete rotation of the bull gear, so the ram has to reach a greater speed during the return stroke. If you draw a circle and then draw a V around it, you can see the points where the lines of the V touch the edge of the circle are not even around the circumference, this is how the shaper operates.

Usually 46 or 68 hyd oil will be fine . I run 15w40 diesel engine oil in my one . If the return stroke is slower than the cutting stroke , the wiring is wrong on a 3 phase motor . 2 of the phases just need to be swapped over . If the feed is back to front but the stroke is right , the feed drive & rod are on the wrong side of the centre of the drive hub . I will try & point that out next shaper video . Cheers 👍
