I wonder how many got the Raymond Burr comment
Canadian Actor you say.....pity🙃😂
Cheers
nice modifications but the lead screw diamtere is slightly bigger than the fully closed half nuts and it dosen't clamp fully on lead screw so your handle won't lock in place
Yeah... ok, you seem to have the 'blue' one, ive seen many vids & they seem to be shit lathes compared to rhe red ones, but you've mastered an approach to make it better...well done. Im checking Minnie for faults youve outlined... thanks, cheers mate
Showing your age there Mate, Raymond Burr Most of the younger people would not even know who the hell he was.
G'day Wayne, yep, your right. its funny the sayings we bring with us from our younger years hey. Cheers Mate.
@@TheAussieShed Yes sure is..
It is a pity that you were unable to show us the machining methods used to correct the problems. Also, was the half nut shaft unacceptably weakened or did you weld up the rubbish detents?
Thanks for the video.
Its a great video, but I have begun to wonder. There are so many of these videos about correcting the failings of these PRC items, I am wondering why people are still buying them. For years now, videos have been reporting on poor performance, poor fit and finish, poor customer service and poor inter-relationships with items made in the West. Since it costs a lot to get these items up to performance within normal limits, I have to ask why people are buying these things in the first place. Makes no sense......
They should sell these as lathe kits. They could put a little more effort into machining the parts accurately, then send s crate with all the parts and it is assemble them ourselves
Great stuff!
For the novices in your audience it would be great to see you dealing with fixing holes for the bearing and the redrilled detent holes for the half nuts.
you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Jaxxon Leighton instablaster :)
@Nolan Conner i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Nolan Conner it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Jaxxon Leighton Happy to help :D
looks to me like i can see that hammer blow to the hand wheel gear your talkin about.
I have a Warco mini lathe purchased here in the UK. The design looks very similar but I have had no where near the number of faults, main issues being run out on the chuck and tailstock alignment.
Maybe there are more than one factories producing this design of lathe?
hahaa Trevor ya Bloke! hahahaaha
Anyone else bust up laughing when they saw that bearing sticking up
Mine had the spring but not small ball bearing so the loose lever ruin the threads. Later assembling the two bolts,apron holders gave me a little work for fixing in right position.
Well that sux, good luck with it Mate, Cheers.
6:16 Just wondering why you wouldn't install the bearing first by tapping down on the outer race. Then install the drive gear.
G'day seth, Reason is, Because the bearing is being installed into basically a blind hole. The hole has clearance in the bottom to allow the centre of the bearing to rotate freely without binding. Which is a good thing. Unfortunately what this creates is room for the centre of the bearing to deflect into as the shaft of the of the handwheel gear is then pushed into it. That is enough to destroy one of these small bearings. If the Bearing is installed firstly into the housing, there is no way to prevent this happening, other than enlarging the axle hole in the housing & supporting the centre of the bearing with a sleeve while pushing the gear & axle into it. Hope I have answered your question satisfactorily Champ. Thanks for the comment & watching one of my Vids, Cheers Mate.
@@TheAussieShed Thank you, yes that makes sense. I only asked because I replaced a couple of bearings in my farm bike last week and installed them into the case first and was wondering if i'd done it wrong. Although it's working okay now. Thanks again for replying to my comment.
They should be fine Seth, these tiny bearings are quite fragile, hence the technique used. I imagine the farm bike has decent size bearings & the shafts are a proper sized fit in them, unlike the Chinese Mini Lathe. Cheers Buddy.
@@TheAussieShed Thanks 👍
Nice, my lathe does have bearings for the shaft nor such a skookum half nut.
Good job Trev. I was quite surprised that you found a bearing on the lathe & secondly, it just proves how bad & junky chinese stuff is made & thirdly, it confounds me how we accept this shit that comes out of China. The same thing happened in the 60's with Japan it wasn't accepted as easily then & they had to reinvent themselves into one of the best manufacturing countries in the world. As far as bearing are concerned, when someone I know buys a chinese machine of any type, I tell them to replace the bearings immediately(they are crap) to either Japanese, German or American made bearings. As a side note, I worked in a machine shop & am now a service technician so I have seen a lot of the crap that China sends us(& we accept I might add). Unfortunately I inherited one of these when my uncle passed so I do know what they're like, I would rather spend more & use it immediately than to spend less strip it down, spend weeks getting it to a level that would be no where near a better lathe, my thoughts anyway. Cheers Trev, love your channel ,have a good one.
Very well presented
I remember those mini lathe days
Good job
Thanks Mate, probably a memory you'd like to forget though i'd imagine.
Yes and no. Most of the fixes were relatively straightforward and rewarding
Great stuff. Thanks.
thanks mister, my red pos is same way. You have helped..
proper comedy here mate, cheers
Thanks Calvin
Muito bom amigo!!!Excelente vídeo e trabalho amigo!!!Obrigado amigo e saudações do Brasil!!!Like!!!
Awesome video! What kind of grease do you use on the gears?
My HF mini lathe does not even have a bearing on that hand wheel/gear shaft! Talk about cheap! I really don't have that ability to machine the apron for a bearing but I might oversize the through hole and put in a bronze bearing so it has a better fit.
And here I was think I had the Nastiest el cheapo version of the Mini lathe out there, only to be out done by Harbour Freight.
A Bronze Bush would be perfect, probably would have been the best solution from the factory right from the start. Cheers Mate.
nice job done!
mine is a fervi 716 lathe, from the same chinese factory it came your.
the gear cover was already installed and half nut engage already well.
in italy there is another brand name for the same chinese minilathes, called valex, that have the same issues you've shown.
parts can be freely mixed between the two brands.
Thanks Mauro, Cheers Mate.
A great presentation but I would love to know how you dealt with the tapered hole for the bearing.. In my case I think the hole needs to be a half millimetre deeper. Still checking this. I seem to have exactly the same apron as you have.
G'day Garth, from memory i think I carefully did the corrections to the hole with an end mill in my drill press. Cheers Mate.
@@TheAussieShed Ooh ok. Dangerous in my drill press which has a Jacobs fitted chuck.
Please post the amount of alcohol consumed for filming the videos so that viewers can do likewise and therefore nullify any errors in content! Thanks for the great videos!!!
What errors Sir?
I can't remember why I posted that. I must have been remarking on something he said in the video. I'll have to re-watch it, but I think my comment was supposed to be humorous!
Onya mate! A bit of ozzy ingenuity.
Cheers Peter
Enjoyed the video!
Great content
I will be following your channel, I have a 7” x 14” I’ve been meaning to improve. Awesome job.
Thanks Eddie, It'll be a Pleasure having you visit here in The Aussie Shed
@@TheAussieShed the pleasure is all mine, also, I don't know if you are aware of the following website, which is also interesting
www.toolsandmods.com/lathe
maybe there are some useful ideas here, too.
Thanks for that Eddie, I'll have to swing over & Take a Look, Cheers.
Thank you for your detailed and thorough guide, also the credits are funny, please keep it up Mr. Trevor.
Thanks Sergi
@@TheAussieShed You are more than welcome, I'm the thankful one, Mr. Trevor, which glue did you use to hold the sandpaper on the lathe bed ways? My guess is super glue?
Hi Sergi, 3M Spray contact adhesive is what I used. Another guy suggested using Windex window cleaner as a lubricant instead of WD-40 as it won't brake down the glue. Great Idea I think. Cheers Mate.
