Lathe Apron Gearbox Oil leak Repair
In this video we’ll see a simple repair in effort to minimize the oil leakage from the lathe apron gearbox. If you're an amateur machinist like me I believe that you'll find this video interesting.

Weiss WMD 30LV Milling Machine DRO Installation
Просмотров 997Год назад
Using the mill to create accurate parts for your projects is really nice. Although the handwheel dials on all three axis of the machine offers good accuracy, it’s not comparable to a DRO. I wanted to add a DRO to my mill for quite some time now; this finally became reality! The DRO was gifted to me from a friend and supporter of the channel who wishes to remain anonymous. In this video I will s...
Power feed for the Z axis of the milling machine

Adding power feed on the Z axis of the mill was first in the ‘must do’ projects for quite some time now. My hand was getting tired cranking the milling head up and down every time I needed to change a tool. I started looking at gear reduction motors; I wanted a compact motor with enough power and low rpm to handle the weight of the milling head... but anyway, you'll find out more as you watch t...

You should also put the toolpost on a surface plate, mine was wobbling due to that the material had grown around the dowel holes, I had to surface grind 0.07mm to make it sit flat. So a good check to make to maximise rigidity and accuracy.
Thanks for the tip! I'm sure with careful grind on the surface plate will make a huge difference from what it is at the moment. Thanks again! All the best Jimmy
@JimmysCanal That could work but try not to remove material between the holes until it's getting flat and if you want to measure how parallell it is prop it up on 3 pieces of shim stock between the holes on the top side, then it's sitting flat and hopefully perpendicular to the surface plate.

Copper को जिससे चिपका रखा है ये काला मेटेरियल क्या है
It's a mixture of pitch with pine rosin, fine gypsum and oil. If you're interested making it, look on the comments below and you'll find the recipe with more information.
if you use a small paint brush on top of the tool while cutting , it stops the brass chips ..from flying around.. great job
Thanks for the comment and the tip! I'm glad that you like it! Regards from Greece Dimitris
Arh thats lovely.
Thank you very much, I'm glad that you like it! All the best Jimmy
Good work sir
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment sir! All the best Dimitris
An elegant solution! Congratulations.
Thank you, glad to know that you like it! Cheers Dimitris
Μπράβο Δημήτρη, πολύ καλή δουλειά! Όπως πάντα, άψογος με προσοχή στη λεπτομέρεια! Να τον χαρείς!
Κωστή μου σε ευχαριστώ πολύ! Δε βλέπω την ώρα να ξεκινήσω το καινούργιο πρότζεκτ. Καλή συνέχεια! Δημήτρης
Funny, I need to make the same repair on my lathe. It's not exactly the same model but a similar design. I suspect that the joker* who rigged the machine for installation put a strap against the shaft and applied too much force. It functions well but leaks. * that would be me 😂
If you've noticed a leak, it's definitely worth doing this repair. Besides the satisfaction you'll have once you done it, you'll increase the value of your machine. Thank you for the comment! Cheers Dimitris
nice upgrade with the oil seal
Yes it really is...I should have done it earlier. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! All the best Dimitris
Sir, I really love your work and your channel. You are a great craftsman!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment sir! Cheers Dimitris
Amazing work Dimitris. As you took the whole thing apart I kept thinking that I would never be able to put it all back together. Great job, well done.
Thank you my friend! The whole process of disassembling and reassembling was really easy, I'm sure that you would done it with the same ease! I'm glad that you liked the project. Thanks again. Take care Dimitris
I think you are tightening the post in the wrong direction. I THINK on these you are supposed to push away from you to tighten. I also think using the end of the compound as a reference is problematic. A better way would be to test the length of the compound, and an even better way would be to mount an indicator on the tool post, and sweep a test bar moving the indicator with the compound.
i have found that when you tighten the tool holder they tell me to tighten it anticlockwise and not to pull it clockwise, apparently it holds it better.
I agree, anticlockwise locks better the tool holder
Απίστευτη δουλειά!!μπράβο σου Δημήτρη!!!
Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ! Να είσαι καλά! Καλή συνέχεια. Δημήτρης
Thanks for the videos. This was a great set of videos to watch. The final part for the drill looks perfect. Looking forward to your next thing you will be making.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment. A new project is coming soon..... Take care Dimitris

¡Muchísimas gracias Pedro! ¡Me alegra que te guste! Saludos Dimitris
It's not only the details and the shear number of parts you fabricated for this project, Dimitris, but the absolute beauty, fit, and functionality of all the pinch parts that make it a stunning piece of equipment for the watchmakers drill press. Design and machine work were off the chart for the whole project too! Well Done and Congratulations on what you have created...truly a masterpiece that will last generations! Hat Tip and Salute, my friend!
Hello PJ, I was thinking for quite some time now, what to reply to you. A 'Thank you' seems too simple, with a 'very much' beside it, sounds a little better, but not exactly what I want to express. I'll make a try, but I don't know if I'll manage it. So, besides the 'Thank you very much' I'll say that it gives me great pleasure hearing an expert engineer saying, that what I designed, adapt or copied throughout the entire project, has been done the right way. Take care my friend Dimitris
👌 Άψογο 👍 Αριστούργημα 🙏
Παναγιώτη σε ευχαριστώ, χαίρομαι που σου αρέσει!! Καλή συνέχεια! Δημήτρης
Thats a beautiful lamp. Ive really enjoyed these videos about the drill press and lamp. You a very talented person.
Thank you so much for the comment, I appreciate it!! Regards from Greece Dimitris
Why do you need to have to tool holders so accurate? It's a 40 position holder, so you just move it one tooth. Just machine each holder in the lathe to make them perfect.
Because the particular seller who also states that upon his improved designs the Multifix tool post and holders are built so very accurate. He puts his name on the tools and praise himself and his tools through his site and YT channel for being the best on the market - besides that he doesn't offer what he states, his tools are very expencieve. I regret the moment I bought these tools from that seller, paying so much money for something that don't worth; with half the price I would bought something similar from ebay knowing that wouldn't be perfect but at least it would be cheap! If you sir, was in that same position as me what you would think of? that there are 40 different positions to put the tool on? or that you paid so much money for something that its not so accurate as the seller states? Thank you for the comment! All the best Jimmy
Spend the extra dosh and get the Swiss one.
If I had the extra money I would probably done it.
Very nice work sir
Thank you very much, I appreciate that you like it sir! Regards from Greece Jimmy

I absolutely love this lamp. Your design is great and, as usual, your machining and attention to detail is inspiring. Well done my friend.
Thank you so much, I'm very happy that you like! Take care my friend! Dimitris
Thanks for the video. The part you made for the large thumb screw that wobbles, would be great to see a close up of how you made that. Have a day
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately I had to cut some footage otherwise the videos would be 3 instead of 2. All the best Dimitris
ce ? thats canada howd you git that over t here eh ?

The complexity and sequence of operations is phenomenal, Dimitris! Your commitment to making the best you possibly can in detail and scope of project is what makes you stand out as an artisan. Thanks Dimitris, for sharing your extraordinary talents with us!! Hat Tip, ~PJ
What you said PJ really honors me, Thank you very much!! Glad to share as always! Cheers Dimitris
Amazing indexer but too complex for me.

Seriously phenomenal work. You have done an incredible job Dimitris. I love that lamp. Congratulations my friend.
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that like it! Take care my friend. Dimitris
Thanks for the video. Great series of video. The part that surprised me was how the drive belt worked, it was nice a simple, but my brain could not see it till you put it on. Nice and relaxing with great information.
Thank you too for the comment! I'm really happy that you liked the series!! All the best Dimitris
Well done. Really like the lamp you made
Thank you very much, I appreciate the comment! Stay tuned for the upcoming video of the lamp build All the best Dimitris
Very nice result, sir!
Thank you very much, I'm happy that you like it! Best regards Dimitris
That must have been soooo satisfying to actually use it after all that beautiful work, Dimitris!! Spectacularly Well Done, and a great presentation of all the details you always put into your work. High Compliments to both Kosta's colaborations!! Superb box design fit and finish, and ultra clean wiring...eye candy for sure! Exemplary planning and execution of basically a custom blue print build. Through and through a real treat that will last generations. Looking forward to seeing the Lamp build! Hat Tip, ~PJ
Hey PJ, I don't know if a 'Thank You' is enough for your kind words! Yes, it was really satisfying especially when I saw that this tiny drill press managed to drill a hole on a 6mm thick piece of steel (something that I'm not going to do it again). Both Kosta's did fantastic work, for which I have thanked them many many times. Without their help this project would be really difficult to finish into that level. The lamp video at the moment it's in the editing stage, I hope to finish it next week? I believe that you'll like it. Thank you once again for your comment!! Take care Dimitris
