Nice 👍 Matty I have the AL 336 D Deluxe lathe I have just retired about 12 months ago Have always been interested in machining but my dad wouldn’t let me get into the aircraft industry as he was in the industry for many years. So I was in the Truck and motor vehicle Smash Repair Industry. Now tinker around in the shed. Trying to justify buying a mill Like your channel Greg 👍
Good stuff Matty. I need to make some of those. Watching this reminded me that I've not cleaned my carriage way wipers in more years than I care to remember (at least not since my nearly 7 year old daughter was born!)
Nice one, Matty 😊. Just made some new ones myself a few weeks ago. I though they'd be more difficult too but the mill made short work of them. Thanks for the morning entertainment 👍😁👍. Cheers!
Something I have neglected in a while is check my tail stock. Time I got too it, Ah? Lebonde d17 does have TS wipers, but new felt one will be installed. NIce footing Matty, cheers. Bear.
Gday Bear, I’m surprised not all lathes have TS way wiper, thanks for watching and commenting, I received your stickers yesterday and they should be in the next video, cheers
With winter just 4 months away, I best be stock looking for cord wood here 😃 Last two years have burned 3 + cords each season, not as able to cut, so having to buy instead ☹️
Hello Matty, Nice work... that should benefit the lathe. I don't know if my Myford has tailstock wipers, something to check tomorrow when I am back in the workshop. I was using my Dremel today, I don't use it much and it was quite evident - lol. See you on the next one. Cheers. Paul,,
G'day Matt , i recently made some wiper inserts on an old lathe and did not have the correct material you have and so had to use an old leather belt cut up.( poverty pack lol ) works for now cheers.
Interesting addition Matty. Not something I've seen on many lathes, but then maybe I haven't seen many lathes ;) My CQ9325 hasn't got wipers anywhere and everything stays clean where it counts. Plenty of oil is the main thing. Cheers Rob
@@MattysWorkshop Hi Matty. None of my five lathes have ever had way wipers. I've got nothing against them, but there are two schools of thought on this. One is the negative view that the pads will become impregnated with metal or grindings over time and become abrasive, quite likely. Swapping out the pads periodically would stop this, but most seem to be there indefinitely. Whether they are actually still touching the ways or doing anything useful is the moot point. The other is that using light oil to flush the crap off of the ways is a good alternative (my approach) seeing as I don't have way wipers. If you can keep the crap off of the ways to begin with then most of the issues are eliminated. I've had the carriages off of most of my lathes and it's all been clean underneath. Interesting discussion point. Cheers Rob
Nice job, and great modification Matty 👍. Surprising how fiddly they can be, I replaced the felt on my Colchester Master 2500 with plastic scraper material, it had piped lubrication to the saddle. ( sold it 5 years ago, great lathe, but very noisy, ref straight cut gears and clutch basket). Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend all.
Gday, I honestly thought these were going to be a pain to make but I was quite wrong, the Colchester would of been a beautiful lathe own, I’d love to have one but they really hold there value, thanks for watching and commenting, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop The Colchester lathes are very well made, mine was an early 1970s I think, it had seen a lot of hard work, everything was still working well, just the clutch as mentioned previously. Prices here in the UK 🇬🇧 are between £ 2000 to £ 4000, spare parts are mega expensive though. Replaced it with a XYZ 1630 (Taiwan built, with American control system, wired and commissioned in the UK, only drawback is its direct drive from the motor, minimum speed is 150 rpm, great machine otherwise. TTFN John
You bloody beauty 🤣🤣 Matty, that is my very first job when I get my 1997 960B running ( new motor + switch needed). 👍👍 I purchased a set for the carriage ( from Hairy Forbes)… but definitely needed on the tailstock. Thanks for the step-by-step video mate Regards, Robert
Gday Robert, the AL960b is a bloody good lathe and you’ll get years out of it, definitely worth putting way wipers on the tailstock mate, thanks for watching, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Yep. Copy of a Harrison maybe? I bought it back in 2000 from a bloke who had hardly used it. I’ve added a lead screw cover, a taper turning attachment from an AL1000, and moved the screw cutting dial to the lhs of the carriage. Also added some extra oilers ( need to copy you and do that to the tailstock). Robert
Nice upgrade. I should probably do that to my tailstock at some point. Actually I am surprised somebody with a cnc mill does not make these as a kit and sell them on the net.
Hey matty, I had to make a set of those myself yesterday, a 22cal spent shell casing works great for punching those holes, great video, keep'um coming...
Yeah tiny brass tubing works good too, you can file the edge really sharp, then cut rubber and felt by rotating the tube in a handdrill or just by hand it works like a micro hole saw.
Glad to see your mind blowing presentation…...….it is my pleasure to stay beside you as your permanent follower……..always be creative and keep posting such fantastic stuff……..have a prosperous future ahead…….
Very good video. I keep wiping the ways before moving the tailstock as a habit but hadn't thought about adding wipers. Be a good winter project. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very good improvement and a quick easy build for any lathe. I have them on a Leblond and just removed them yesterday due to freshening up and rebuilding the lathe now. Good job Matty and CIAO for now buddy...Ricko
Gday Alan, I think it’s definitely worth doing, the tailstock feels a lot smoother on the ways now the oil is kinda trapped underneath now, thanks for watching mate, cheers
I've been wanting to add wipers to my tailstock for about a year now. I even 3D printed some back then and they are just sitting waiting for me to drill and tap the holes.
Nice job Matty. Going to put that one in the book. Great work on setting the tail stock. So you set the horizontal, was wondering if you checked the vertical to see if you need any adjustment. I have had to scrap one tail stock on a lathe to get it right and a friend had to shim another. Thanks for sharing.
Another excellent job Matty. I need to make some wipers for my old Clausing 100. Did you use a squeeze bulb to blow the chips out of the way while milling the grooves? I have 3 air compressors but do not want compressed air in my machine shop. I use vacuum to clean and brushes and magnets.
G'day Matty, I'm learning all these new skills I'm very interested thanks for the videos. In the last few days I want to look at this as a hobby, you enjoy making metal better. Cheers & Beers mate. I am a NEW BE! from Curtis ECC .
Gday, this is a really great hobby to have, there is so much to learn and so many people willing to share there knowledge to help you learn, im only self taught and if I can do it anyone can mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Thanks Matty Nice work. you are correct your Dremel skills need help LOL... Im picking a new to me lathe tomorrow and i will inspect the tail stock and after watching you i think i can do the same hopefully i wont screw it up wish me luck...... 50/50 LOL
Gday, I’m not engraver that’s for sure, what type of lathe are you getting?, this job you can do in a day easy, thanks for watching and commenting, Cheers
MATTY hi just wanted your help and advice I’m thinking of getting a new vertex rotating table I would like the 10” your videos showing you had the 8” thanks advance PAUL 🇦🇺🍻🍻
Gday Paul, mine is 8”, this on the Cincinnati is perfect but is quite big on the mill/drill, 10” is a lot heavier to so moving it around can be an issue, you can make small things on a big table but harder to make big things on a small table, Vertex brand is the way to go mate, cheers
Nice work Matty. I need to do that to my Enco now. The factory should have did this. I always manually lubed the ways and of coarse cleaning them. Looks very nice for over 33 years of use. Do you think the holding power and or clamping force is diminished for drilling? Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.
Gday, I really think all lathes should have this done from the factory, this tailstock clamps has always clamp down tight and never moves, thanks for watching, cheers
Fiddly but we'll worth it. Which way did you shift the tailstock to take out the 4 thou ? Like towards the back or front of the machine ? Very neat and tidy matter, beautiful
Ah thanks for that matty, I unfortunately missed out on being able to set up a workshop like yours as DVA stuffed me around as I was med discharged from the after 15 yrs service and a trip overseas and we had to sell the house as they took over 12 months to give me a pension, so I missed out but I went to take as an adult trainee and did a few courses in the same vane as the old night school classes. I was going to get into it as a sideline but the beauracy got the better of me. We now housesit, stay with family or hideaway In our caravan nowadays. Heading back to QLD from WA next week resume some babysitting duties. So I really admire your work attitude and ethic and the simplistic but informative parting of information. I just really wish I could get back to hands on again myself but get through enjoyment watching you knock out the good stuff. Well done matty👍👌😄 Cheers Dave
This is something I should do for my P&W, great content as always Matty. Ps was a nice easy spot to go through and find all the channels I was subbed to with the no longer channel. (The comments here) Lastly holy shit man! Another 2.8k subs since the 10k vid keep it up! DJ

Have you installed a variable frequency or DC spindle drive on any older machines? I'm thinking about installing one on my Cincinnati tool master mill and can't decide which would be best. My spindle is 1.5 Hp.
Gday, the Cincinnati was 3ph 4hp when I got it. I don’t have 3ph here so I put a single phase 3hp motor in and had no issues, I’ve never had anything to do with vfd’s yet, thanks for watching, cheers
I drilled & tapped the holes on my one ages ago for wipers , but that's all i had time to do ! One day ! 👍
Gday Max, I thought you’d finished your off, thanks for watching, cheers
Thanks Matty. If I can overcome my reluctance to mess with the tailstock alignment, I'll do the same.
Gday Preso, I was a bit the some but it wasn’t to bad in the end, thanks for watching mate, cheers
You show'd how easy and quick it is to do. so I'd better get off my arse and do mine. Thanks Matt.
