Brilliant honest initial review Jon. Thank you.

Thanks!

Bij mij vliegt de stop eruit bij gebruik, hoe kan dat nou ???, is toch maar 750 watt??

Perfect. Only problem was some previous owner had effected a repair minus the retaining washer and substituting the split pins with 2 nails to retain the vice together. These I had to drill out because too stiff to drift. Because the washer was missing the buffing spring was baddly buckled, with the spring binding around the nail. I imagine this vice was used in a workshop, why did the "repairer" cut corners, when a workshop of useful material would be available?

Nice review, thank you!👍

Thanks for a great video with a very good and detailed explanation of the system 👍 I had my 520d 2013 up on the lift and was just about to replace the airbags, when i came across your video, and realized that it more likely was the solenoide that was broken. My BMW was also sitting on the ground, and when it was started the compressor would start for a few seconds, without anything happening. I took the solenoide off and found out that it was in the closed position which it should be. When i checked the resistance of the two pins of the solenoide the resistance was 12,8 ohm, which seemed pretty normal. I then connected the two pins of the solenoide to a 12V battery but it remained in the closed position, until i did connect it maybe 20 times and then it suddenly started to work, and i could now blow air through the solenoide when it was connected to 12V. I then assembled it again and the car worked perfect and still does, and i could even return the unused airbags 😊

Thanks

Absolute SUPER STAR Thank you ❤ Also didn't get to work yesterday but thanks to your video and the link it's all fixed at £21 😂😂😂

Hi Jon. (That’s my name too!) Thank you! So kind of you to share your efforts. I’m a blacksmith/weldor/sculptor trying to learn to be a machinist. This is a beautiful design. Is there a version of the plan in inches? - Jon Taylor, owner, Taylor Iron Works

Good review. If you sprinkle a little flux on the workpiece before heating, it keeps the metal clean as it heats- the braze then takes better.

Great tool! Thanks very much.

Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the helpful video! What is the best way to de pressurise the system, i think mine is going back sits on bump stops, and when sat for 3 or 4 hours is there a simple way to safely de pressurise it without the car having a fit? Cheers!!

Glad I stumble on this series. Last fall, I picked up an original Atlas Shaper from the 1930's. It's not the 7B, so it doesn't have the table support in the front. Last year I rebuild an Atlas Milling Machine and now the task of rebuilding the shaper begins. Thanks for sharing these videos. They will be very helpful. I'd be curious if anyone knows if the mold is the same as to where I could convert it to the 7B series by swapping out the base and installing the 7B working surfaces with the table support. Any assistance would be great. Cheers.

I like that surface grinder. Is it 3 phase? If so, are you using an inverter. But it does a lovely job, I should get one. Cheers

Just wondering why you used the shaper and not the milling machine for the machining ? Cheers

Your building a nice little channel matey. Some very interesting stuff. Cheers

Very fine explanation. Thank you!

Thank you John i just bougt my first dro for my mil and installed it i learn alot from your video's

Fabulous idea. Cheers . Video idea...engineering drawings and all those symbols etc etc. Thanks again

Thanks!

Nicely done.

Yes fabulous explanation and video cheers.

Very good informative video. Cheers

I’ve just stumbled across you channel Jon… 👌 This one will be on the to do list 👍

Both one today 3 lights flashing but doesn't seem to be turning on

My e61 drops on rear passenger side I’ve replaced both airbags still drops on passenger side about 2 inches

I wish I had time to watch this but 23 minutes is just too long. I would love to see a vid that explained that in 5 mins. Its probably a brilliant vid.

Brilliant, thanks for your generosity.

Hi,what is the modulus of the gear?

Hello, I have changed the compressor but the car does not lift, do I have to lift one side? The compressor stops very quickly and does not have time to get up

hi there, just rescued a alpina with this engine, i dont find much parts for it

Tengo una de ellas, y la restauré, estaba en la basura, hace unos 7 años. Excelente Video. Saludos desde Temuco, Chile

Thanks . video is very useful for me. ZX32 internal details are almost same (except sizes).

Does this use a brushless motor?

That was fantastic

Great work! I love it

Amigo..sugiero que lo temples para quitar el sonido a chapa y armonizar

what do you do if it pumps the air bags to the point of popping everytime after fixing this issue ?

Hi. Great video. I am looking for a cross slide gib strip for exactly the same model. Any ideas where I could get one in the Uk. Thanks in advance.

Wow

Thanks for spending the time to produce this beautiful piece of work. It really drives home the value of having a Surface Grinder and Shaper Cutter in the workshop. Cheers.

This is a great video and I'm glad I found it. I just bought a ZAY 7045FG and looks very much like this machine apart from the switch box in front. I have an issue that the spindle/milling tool vibrate and move around quite a bit when in use. Nice and smooth just spinning round without any load on it but vibrates when in use. Even a small 4mm end mill will vibrate on soft mild steel. It's horrible, never seen anything like it. If I go to a 12mm end mill tool, the whole machine vibrate around. The Head, the Table, everything. Does yours do that as well? I'd love a few suggestions. HELP!

Thanks,great idea

Where can i order a glw plug

Hi Jon this Engine build has been fantastic.I hope a can watch you build more engines in the future. Thankyou for sharing.

How did yo make the springs?did you just bend them around a bit if material in the vice?

Hi mate if just wondering where you get them dial indicators from?

All in all great work

You could touch up with weld and remachine.
