Again thanks for this series on the Clausing Horizontal Mill. It has been very informative and educational. I can't wait to see this mill cut something. I hope there are some milling projects with this machine in the near future.
I recently acquired a 8540, so I Thank you very much for the wonderful 8540 series videos you created! Very helpful and appreciated. It sure is a nice mill..
Sweet! A mid-week MRPETE! Old teachers never quit teaching!! Wire size depends on the AMPS you are pulling! The same variable speed system used on Clausing Lathes. You've got that mill in pretty good shape. Can't wait to see it making chips! 'Til next time!
Yo Mr Pete, thanks for the video. I'm thinking about bidding on one of these in a local auction and it was nice to preview the operation of the machine. Take care!
Mr. Pete, Amperage determines the size of wire, not voltage. Tommy gave you a pretty pricey gift even though it has some age. That looks to be SJ which is flex rubber coated and won’t act like spring wire like plastic coated cords, especially during cold weather. Hard to find these days in stores. Usually have to go to a jobber supplier to get it. Nice mill. I was hoping to make it to Lost Creek’s open house and machine sale but life has interfered. Was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe at a later date if you and I live that long. Dale
We made up over a half mile, of 50' and 100' extension cords, using the SJ on one project I worked. Could not get the guys to quit running over the cords with the fork trucks. A lot of the 100' cords wound up being 75' or less because of the fork truck damage!
Not sure armored cable would survive the fork trucks but my point was the flexibility of rubber sheathed SJ. The soft, flexible sheath of SJ actually contributes to the durability of the extension cord. The hard plastics often crack at the junctions and ultimately cause premature breakage of the wire itself.
@@Landrew0 that's right,double the voltage can half the amperage. People need to realize that it's the current draw and length or distance that determines wire size
That was an interesting video. It just flew by. I used a horizontal mill to make a couple of gears in school, but that is the extent of my experience with one. Thanks.
I bet you wish you got that mill in spring, because it's too cold now to use it! That was a nice gift from Tommy; he must be feeling guilty about his mowing timing.
Nice... can you point me in the direction of a parts sheet/diagram? I like the loaded lockout feature and it seems as if this would be a nice project.... @@charlieromeo7663
My Boxford lathe has almost the same control handle(with a lockout screw) as this machines forward/reverse but mine is for switching the back gears and it definitely came out of a school
Lyle, some time ago, James Kilroy posted videos on adding a power feed to an axis of his HURCO vertical mill. Perhaps you could do something similar to the Clausing's Y axis. There's always Tom Lipton's power drill trick for the Z axis.
Chuckle-the higher the voltage the *smaller* the required gage, assuming equal power. That's why 5HP motors won't run on 120VAC: you'd need a circuit rated for over 30A. Is that an SJ or an S cable? I've been using type S (well, SOOW) for most shop projects: the extra thick jacket makes me feel safer about chips and stuff damaging the cable.
Sir, i have a question, there are 2 place that can control the direction of turning, one on top and the other on the right hand side. What if both of them were switch to “reverse” position? Will it still going reverse, or - and - equal to +, going forword? Never play with this type of milling machine, i am querious. But i bet a dollar it will go reverse. Ps: when my nephew was 4 years old, when he saw any machine that is taller than him, he will yell 鐵甲人(giant robot)
One controls the direction of the spindle and the other controls the direction of the table feed. They are not the same system. One system has no bearing on the other system.
@@grntitan1 i am the bad student today, i watch this clip at 2 am and almost fall asleep. I thought both controls are for the spindle. Thanks for the explanation.
Mr. Pete, I followed your lead to Genesis 4:22 so I could understand why you call yourself Tubalcain. It is interesting. The King James Bible called Tubalcain a teacher of people who work in bronze and iron. That makes sense since you are a shop teacher. Other versions, however, describe Tubalcain as a 'Worker in bronze and iron'. That makes less sense. Makes me think you found the name in the King James version.
From one mate to another, the crate has to be bomb proof. At least. From one place to another in a war zone, cardboard will do, i guess. It´s a shame, what those parcel services do with our goods. And they get paid for that, from year to year more.
Thank you Mr. Pete. Never an uninteresting topic and always flawlessly presented.
Thanks

I enjoy seeing a bit of the operational mystery taken out of various machines. Thanks.
👍
That mill is the perfect size for the hobbyist. Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
Nice garage sized mill. I can't wait to see how it makes chips. Great video!
Micro machinist do love smaller machines we too have a small Mill. We are happy your mill sounds well MrPete. Your mill is a perfect size.
👍👍
great addition to your shop. you are obviously thankful. very good content. never can justify that mill, but very interesting, like a 1955 corvette.
lol yes
Morning coffee with Mr Pete! Sweet! That is a really nice piece of equipment and it sounds great!
Thanks

For the same amount of power transmission (wattage) a higher voltage will allow a lower amperage, therefore a smaller size of wire.
@@Landrew0 that's right,double the voltage can half the amperage. People need to realize that it's the current draw and length or distance that determines wire size
@@dalegriggs5392 - Yep they are much more pliable, than say the PVC sheathed cords.
enjoyed, thank you!
That little mill is just right for a home shop. Thanks for the video.

Fastest 15 minutes on TH-cam! MrPete/Tubalcain can't make a video TOO LONG for me!
Thanks
Thats a nice little mill...look forward to some project on it...perhaps a steam engine.
Thanks
Nice, I"m so glade I got to see it in person.
I think you covered it quite well 👍
👍
Enjoyed it! As always. Thanks to our "Mr Pete".
Thanks

Another Gem MrPete! Thank you!
Good video. I don't know if I will remember all this by the time that mill gets here.LOL
lol
Lyle, would love to see you dig into that safety FWD/REV switch.... maybe a shop build like the speed reducer?
Jim
It’s really pretty cool. The drum switch is located well below the handle. They’re connected with a stiff cable, similar to a speedometer cable.
Nice... can you point me in the direction of a parts sheet/diagram? I like the loaded lockout feature and it seems as if this would be a nice project.... @@charlieromeo7663
@@charlieromeo7663 It'd been nice to see Lyle do one of his great 'how does it work' critiques...

Loved the presentation. Thank you for posting

Thanks for the lesson
I have the same mill
Great for small projects
Yes thanks

Loved the video as iam going to get mine running 😊😊😊😊
Good job mr. Pete! I really want one of those things!!
Yes
will you be videoing the manufacture of your missing feed stop?
Yes
Yes that is a nice mill. Hopefully when it gets warmer you do a project on it
Yes
Thanks Mr. Pete! You the man!

Really nice mill. How worn is it? It sounds reasonably quiet. Certainly quieter than the clausing lathe downstairs.
👍
Mr. Pete: C 4
Me: HIT! You sank my battleship!
THANK YOU...for sharing.
Nice machine. Wish I had one.
👍
So my body has lately been operating in back gear with no increase in torque. I wondered what the cause was.
lol
Now I want one🤠👍
lol
Have you noticed that the top of that mill has a very startled look?
Maybe it's still traumatized from the high school kids!

It would be nice to see you operate that mill on a simple project so that your students could see how it functions,thanks. :-)
Yes
Very nice.
Enjoyed!

Thanks
Thanks for sharing sir..

Good video.

Sir, i have a question, there are 2 place that can control the direction of turning, one on top and the other on the right hand side. What if both of them were switch to “reverse” position?

Interesting, 360/52=6.92, 2000/280=7.14. It seems the ratio of the back-gear is variable too, he he.
