Beautiful old lathe with hardly any wear! We can't find anything like it here in the states. Very heavy duty clean old lathes are impossible to find here. Most shops sold them for scrap when they switched to CNC (or went out of business). You did a fine job, I am jealous.

Viewing this video was a calming joy. To see something of such practical importance, once-neglected, but now revived with the care that it deserves, was a fantastic experience. You, Sir, are a testament to patience, dedication, and skill. Thank you. (I will now share this with at least 15 people who will, as I did, sit spellbound as they watch it.)
This is absolutely beautiful work man. I really appreciate people who care for their tools, and are able to give a used and abused machine some much-needed care and attention.
By restoring these beautiful old machines, you make the world a better place! These machines just have so much character, and LIFE, left in them. You have restored their soul..
When I saw you chipping away at the concrete floor with hand tools I said "man that will take 3 years"... 2 seconds later, it says 3 years later on the screen. Iwas laughing hard... I do not know if it was intentional but the two tone green actually looks really good. It gave the machine more depth. very quality work. I had a heart pounding moment at teh "stay there" scene.
Took me 4 months to restore a 1984 4runner (from the ground up without new paint), I spent everyday to work on it during my 2 and a half summer vacation months. If I leave it for 3 years I may not be able to find all nuts and bolts. You did great on this lathe, always love old stuff.
You have excellent taste in machines! The width of the bed and ways is impressive. Nicely done. One thing to check is you should see some oil movement in your front gearbox sight glass. Make sure its not blocked. All the best, Tom

oxtoolco thank you uncle Tom. I already remove all the old oil. Gave the housing really good clean and fill up new oil. Also cleaned up the ways, holes for oil goin through the main bearings.
I found a 1921 Hendey gearhead for 700 bucks in Clifton Park NY and I restored it. It looked like it was never used ! The guy that owned it says its been sitting in his Motor machine shop for 45 years and not even hooked up :)
You are a BOSS taking on that restoration! Beautiful job! I feel confident I could take it apart and clean and paint it . . . unfortunately it would stay in bits and pieces and I would despair in putting it back together in working order like you did. I am really impressed - thanks for sharing for others like myself to learn and be amazed by.
Almost makes me want to dredge up an old lathe from the bottom of a river someplace and start a project. Love the subtle 2-tone green. Very nice work. It's hard to kill these machines.
Each of your videos that I have watched have been excellent, both in in the quality of the production and the incredible workmanship of the project itself. It is always a pleasure to watch them.
Hey buddy, That lathe looks great. Nice to see you post a video again. I have a 1940s Southbend lathe a friend gave me I need to restore also. Now lets see you make some chips on it.
A wonderful lathe and not as beaten up as some of the ones you find in the UK. I was pleased to see no dents on the bed and a chuck that has not been abused. Nice job. Thank you from a fine limit engineer.
Great job to you,you really deserve my appreciation..I am also a mechanical engineer also in the same profession as you.But some times i find it challenging to reasemble the parts again.But watching people like you everytime will make me a good mechanical engineer repairer?
Well Done. Somehow you managed to disassemble, clean, repair, repaint and reassemble a large lathe and make it work again. That was quite a major project and you got it done right, so can rightly feel proud of you achievement. You also now have an in depth knowledge of how your lathe works and have invested plenty of sweat equity in its restoration so you will be very careful with it's use. Good luck now put it to good use and turn some chips.
This is really amazing. Everyone has already said all the good things here, so all I can say is Ditto! This was an enormous undertaking for one person.
hedning003 i have picked up similar lathes for $200. Seen some sell much higher. Bearing, paint and bushings in a restore can add up to about $500. Really not bad for a nice lathe. Hardest part is moving them.
What a nice piece of equipment! Your work is first class and the controls look like they work as well as any top quality lathe should. I've used a number of lathes from very old to brand new and none of the controls worked as nicely as yours. I would be proud to own that lathe.
@@janvanruth3485 Well, I have an Atlas 12x36 and a 7x18 minilathe, so I know how to squeeze the most out of a bad 3 jaw chuck. There is a whole science behind that, which most people do not understand, and go straight to regrinding the jaws....before finding out the real cause of runout.
@Chris You are right they have to be in the right order, but you have 3 choices of which slot to start with. Quality chucks will be labeled as to which slot goes with which jaw for best results. If he is getting 5 thou TIR, I think it is worth trying the other 2 positions. It might get it within 3 thou.
Not how its works buddy. Sometimes jaws are even diferent dimensions to prevent that. I have 3 jaw and 4 jaw emco scroll chucks. Also worked on large (11kw) lathes with 250-300 mm chucks none can switch jaws between slots they have to go in order they are marked
The Japanese sure know how to make machine tools, that lathe is a lot like an Okuma tool room lathe we have just sold. Beautiful restore, I would love to own it! Hope it gives you years of pleasurable service, I am sure it shall. Many thanks for the video!
very impressive restoration, instructive and also gives good cheer by refurbishing an old lathe myself. good luck with this machine from the Netherlands.
Glad you did a good job unlike alot of these restoration channels you actually addressed the mechanical parts of the machine instead of just cleaning and painting it
You are a very talented young man and as well you have high standards for being a hard worker. All of this combined will make you successful in your life. Excellent rebuild.
To me this is where it’s at !!!!! With enough time and hard work anyone could do this (well just about) But what a bloody good job he did here , And with all the new Tec coming out Like say . . . 3 D printers these types of old machines won’t be out of price for the hobbyists 👍🏼🏴 Outstanding
You do not have a mischievous younger brother who would hide critical parts from do you??? Did you find much wear? The ways looked great, best I could tell from the small photos.

I have been rebuilding old machines since I left the Military in 1988. This is really a great video. One comment though. To make a old high quality tool room lathe worth it. Replace the old chuck. .0015 may be ok, for this video. But I can guarantee that range of run-out will change as you go to different sizes of stock. The screw plate and jaws on a old chuck will be worn differently at different points. Even running a tool post grinder and re-grinding the jaw point cannot prevent run-out from being amplified thru different diameters... Yet Awesome Job. I wish I could work with you....
A labor of love. Looks GREAT! Nice job. I'd love to have a lathe like that. Even as it was before you started. I too would have cleaned it up and repainted it, but I don't think I would have totally restored it the way you did. Only because I'm too lazy. I can only imagine how pleased you are with the final piece. Something to be proud of for sure. And yes! Thank you very much for videoing the whole process and sharing it. Your video is very inspiring. Makes me want to go restore something.
Keep up the good work Cà Lem, and I enjoyed your style of restoration videos. You give us enough details without dragging us over the boring parts. I Like that a lot!
Cast iron takes years to age harden, so you have a very durable machine. They don't make them like that anymore. Excellent job! That machine will give you years of loyal service.
Very nice work! You really make me want to clean up my lathe. Its a 1953 Cincinnati tray top 15 x 42. Big girl. Right there at the end about the 15:10 mark my heart skipped a bit because the auto feed for the cross slide was still on. Good thing you caught that before the machine crashed.
Beautiful video! Even chiseling out the floor for the position of the lathe... the green works good, classic machine green. I see a lot of old mills or lathes here in germany painted exactly like that. Looking forward to the actual machining videos!
Beautiful job! I imagine there was a LOT more involved in that restoration than this video showed. I've watched other channels where they did it step by step and it's insane how complex just the apron is. You could probably get that chuck dialed in a bit closer if you needed, otherwise that's a great lathe in a manageable size.
I love watching restoration videos but everyone else restores small items. I clicked on this because surely the thumbnail was click bait. How wrong I was! And your work is spectacular. New subscriber. Thank you for sharing.
Incredible restoration!! You should do restorations of other antique shop equipment and potentially do work for museums. Great Video, thank you for sharing!
Damn, three years is some time lapse! Great work. Fortunately, nothing seems to be worn to the point of needing replacement. That often happens (it did to me), and then you have to get lucky to find a good bunch of parts (usually gears, and some odd bearings) to replace them before you put it back together. You may never.
You always do such good work. Your machines not only work better than when they were new, they look better! You are such a good example of a machinist and a person! You always inspire us! :)
Ok taking it apart is one thing but put it back together so that no screws remain and it works...that is a challenge. Gj bro you got ballz!
He does more then that covers bare areas with paint that are bare for no reason... he also lubricates it and removes rust etc etc wiring probably a lot!
Hi,
Please watch our mini metal lathe restoration.
If I disassemble and reassemble a machine like that, it would probably remain enough parts to build a new one.
I was thinking the same about myself.
😂😂😂
I'm speechless with the results! Just a great job.
We've also made mini metal lath restoration.
SPLENDID RESTORED WORK!!!
It’s so beautiful. You did a wonderful job on returning this lathe to its former glory. These old Japanese lathes were built to last.

Lots of stuff inside, even more complex than a manual car gearbox!
It' s brand new! Congratulations!
Awesome job!! I worked for a company were we would replace all the electrical on lathes an many other industrial machinery that were being resold.
Excellent restoration! It's great to see older machines like this put back to use, rather than rusting away.
