John... Awesome!! I can relate to everything in the video. I've had my share of moving these big machines around. You hiring that awesome rigging service made your job so much easier man. Well done! Just all that tooling alone is well worth the effort. It's a quick, and cheap way to tool up your shop with all the stuff one needs, like those big drills, and clamps. Your growing very fast and it's nice to you you rounding out your shop with so much different equipment. Make sure you put me on the list for one of the power drawbar kits for for the step pulley head. My Doall is the same thing. Thanks bud!!
I had a lot of nostalgic moments watching this video. My father and I have done almost all of our rigging of the machines we bought over the years by ourselves. Usually with simple hand tools like jacks, rollers, straps, chains, and LOTS of cribbing. My favorite of these times was when we picked up our(my) G&E 36in metal shaper. My dad bought it on the internet from the description, pictures, and recherch. It said it was apout 7000lbs.So we went to pick it up with our hand tools and a 8000lbs rated bumper pull trailer. When we got there and seen the machine we figured out there was no way we were going to get it on the trailer, the forklift couldn't even pick it up. We ended up coming back with a semi and trailer and had it loaded for 50 bucks. We had many more adventures and I loved to see this video.
John glad too see some manual machines moving into a cnc shop. Tom lipton did a great video on leveling a lathe. I will be watching your channel more with these machines of my era . Keep the videos coming.
The Radial Arm and lathe are pretty sweet. That trailer was cool... good to get them moved with no accidents or issues. Also good to see them in a home where they will be better taken care of. Thanks John for the vid
Landoll trailers sure are nice! When you guys got to the door of your shop with the lathe and it was too wide I laughed my ass off thinking about Baily when he tries to bring a stick thru the door that is too long and hits it 3 or 4 times before he gets it turned to come in. Cincinnati Lathe (the big CL logo on the ram) made the Cintimill. They were originally Fosdick who were famous for drills. By the time the Cintimills were made Cincinnati Lathe was a division of "The Mill" which was Cincinnati Milling Machine and later Cincinnati Millacron.
Thank hope you will get to do some videos on the manual lathe. Good to see that the old stuff still has it's uses. Thanks for videoing the pickup all very interesting.
Hey John you got a great Clausing Colechester lathe. I have logged many hours on that model of lathe but one thing you will have to get used to is it's a left hand apron in it. You can also turn worm threads on it witch is a great feature. It has an oiling pump system on it and a pressure oiling system on the apron too If you need help figuring out something on that lathe it let me know I've used that model for years lol. Great video!
NEW TOYS :D I am excited to get my new-to-me old myford ml7 til weekend. A totally different scale to what you have of course, but still lots of joy and anticipation!
It's incredible how well you are doing,congratulations. I started similar shop 8 years ago ( I sepcialized in a very small and precise parts ) but I do not have third of themachines you own and right now I'm thinking about closing.
Enjoyed the video... I just recently purchased a Kitamura mycenter 5 and am still trying to locate a forklift that will pick the 22000 # machine up to put it in my shop. Glad to see old iron put back to good use.
John - I was wondering if you could do a series on the machines you have and what they are used for. It seems like you have some machines that can do the same things but have other capabilities that the other machines don't. I'm interested in why you choose certain machines to do certain jobs. Anyway, love the channel and love learning about cool tools.
Moving some serious weight there. When they moved my Supermax mill (3000 pounds more or less) they were able to lift it into my garage with a long boom mounted to the forks of the fork lift. (Good thing, because the forklift was too tall to get in under the lintel.) We had to flop the head on the mill horizontal as well.
Hi John did you check the travel distance on the Bridgeport? There are a lot of variances in mills but I remember looking for one and the 48" table and the 42" table both travel the same distance 30" to 31" You just get a smaller work area on the 42". Check and see if it holds true.
Awesome machinery acquired there, great expansion to anyones setup. I'd be in heaven. I'd like to see the leveling of the Lathe for future reference if i ever got one.
Awesome lathe! I went and looked at a 15x50 a few weeks back but passed on it because of too many issues. Magnetic brake wasn't functional, oil pump idler was missing, cross slide screw needed replaced. The parts were all really expensive. Good luck with it. I'd still like to find one in decent shape.
Lathe Leveling... a one week or more project. Larger equipment will take some time to settle in, especially when disturbed. Level, wait 24 hours check it again, repeat daily until the level stabilizes. Don't forget to run the machine to allow it to "rumble" in while doing leveling process. You may also discover along the way that the concrete the gear is sitting on might change, too.
great video. Guys that rig loads and move that sort of stuff are very skilled. one wrong placement of a sling or chain and its a lot of steel that is going over.' Is great to see that some older gear is going to get some more use, it will last you well.
In 1999, they moved the Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina. At one point they supported the 5000 ton 200ft tall structure with oak cribbing. They used a lot of it but it is still amazing that they held it up with wood.
Nice looking machines. Were these all from an auction or a shop closing down, if so what did this end up costing you? Clearly a big investment, but hopefully one that pays off in increased capacity.
Nice video, and very Well handled by the People. Your 4 jaw, is a very good brand. Now by 600 group in uk, and chuck devision is called pratt burnerd. Very High quality.. If not the best 😀
That lathe could sit in a twist forever and not take a permanent set. Cast iron doesn't work that way. You need a precision level. .0005/12 or better, a machinist level is not good enough. Level both ends using 4 of the leveling screws. I put the level right on the carriage such as on the cross slide surface. Once you have both ends level, run the carriage the length of the bed. There should be no twist. You may have to use the other leveling screws to get it perfect. Now turn the level 90 degrees and measure if the bed has a hump or belly. You will use the other 2 or 4 leveling screws to correct this. You don't have a center support so it may be tough to get this right. Get it the best you can. You might have to lag it to the floor and pull it down if it's really worn. The twist is the most important factor. Take a test cut on a 3 x 12ish bar and measure for taper. If the headstock is bolted to a flat surface, you can loosen the bolts and bump it into alignment. If the headstock sits on the V ways you can't do anything without scraping the mating surfaces. Then you need to line up the tailstock to the spindle. That's pretty easy.
The Colchester is a really nice machine. Never saw anyone move a Bridgeport like that....wow. Somebody needs to rethink that with common sense. It all survived.... amazing really.
hell yeah that's a big lathe, but check out the ones that make barrels for our battleships/destroyers... 4-5' swing and 30'+ beds.... yikes... If you want to be shocked, look at how these massive lathes were made in WWI or WWII - concrete!
While I was watching, I was scanning the structural layout of your shop... It seems to me that, it doesn't lend itself well for an "Overhead Crane" (OH). You have a support column in the middle of the building, which would prevent you from moving equipment and/or materials with an OH... The best you could do, in that situation, would be to build Jib Cranes, but that would be Slow and laborious... Just thinkin... Placing and leveling all of your new equipment would be sooooo much easier if you had an OH... Something to think on for the future... Perhaps you could look into having the build re-engineered to remove that support column... but that could be very costly... You'd need a lot of side wall support, to give an OH crane a straight run from front to back...
I use a two tonne gantry crane with adjustable height for my shop. It is cheaper and more portable eg if you want to lift something outside of the building, just roll it there.
So nice old machines! I like them too. You guys see the curved classical design? Everything shaped like a woman body :) Nowaday all the machines are looks like boxes. This old guys will make a lot of fun and money! Thank You for the video
John, Here's a couple of Adam's videos when he moved his Monarch and leveled it and also making test cuts. th-cam.com/video/6oNfQYD26Vo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/XZP0o06gsco/w-d-xo.html Those movers sure knew what they were doing. The axle moving on that trailer was slick. :-)
I cringed when I saw them lifting the Cintimill and the radial drill from below. They could have tipped over and be damaged beyond repair that way. The manuals recommend slinging and lifting from the top, like a crane.
Is that shop going out of business? If so, I find it to be a shame. America seems to be falling behind in the race. (teary eyes) Love that trailer! That is the way to go for sure. Thanks.
I mean what changed? Why are they not machining in-house? Out sourced to China, India? What's the reason? That's what I want to know. I guess I didn't make myself clear.
I'm yet to see a metric street sign in the US. They're using it more in engineering, but still nothing with the public except for food and beverage labels.

Wow that trailer with the moving axle was something else!
Lathe leveling is always a welcome addition to your video library! Awesome score my friend!
You're going to love the old Clausing once she's cleaned up. It's a very solid machine, very reliable!
John, you have a lot to be excited about there !!! Thanks for an enjoyable vid, Cliff
What a difference in shops, yours clean and bright, the one you got the machines from dark and dirty.
Landoll trailers sure are nice!

It's incredible how well you are doing,congratulations. I started similar shop 8 years ago ( I sepcialized in a very small and precise parts ) but I do not have third of themachines you own and right now I'm thinking about closing.
Wow I just have to say, as a manual machinist, you got some nice machines. Now lets just hope that they are in decent condition!
Do you plan to disassemble the machines as part of the clean-up? Maybe check for wear/tolerances/etc? If so, I'd like to see that.
Enjoyed the video... I just recently purchased a Kitamura mycenter 5 and am still trying to locate a forklift that will pick the 22000 # machine up to put it in my shop. Glad to see old iron put back to good use.
Nice machines. A full manual shop in one go!
really looking great john
Ok, I'm just a little jealous. Great additions!

Yes, please do a video on leveling and aligning the lathe.
Awesome machinery acquired there, great expansion to anyones setup. I'd be in heaven. I'd like to see the leveling of the Lathe for future reference if i ever got one.
John, at 9:59, I'm pretty sure I spot a Dillon press in the background!
Hmmm, no Mark 7?
Colchester lathe is so good, its imo one of the best machines you can get . for a vertikal mill i would say Pedersen then Bridgeport . looking good :D
envy!!! Nice machines, lots off fun waiting
Awesome lathe! I went and looked at a 15x50 a few weeks back but passed on it because of too many issues. Magnetic brake wasn't functional, oil pump idler was missing, cross slide screw needed replaced. The parts were all really expensive. Good luck with it. I'd still like to find one in decent shape.
you got the complete Abom Playset!! my god that all looks so heavy.
Great equipment acquisition! What is NYCCNC's primary function as a business?
I think Tom Lipton has a video on leveling a lathe, some good tips in that one.

It would be awesome to see a lathe leveling video, especially with a machine as large as that.
What a joy to watch!! Love it! :)
That's an awesome trailer!
Great old iron put back to use! I'm curious - What camera are you using? It looks fantastic!
Beautiful, Thank you!
Can I work there in the summer? Haven't got to use any real machines yet and I'm down in Pennsylvania. I'll just have an air mattress in a room lol
Truck trailer is awesome!
lathe leveling tip: use your camera and phone to check your level when working on the feet of the lathe. cheers.
muy buenas máquinas y hermoso taller ! un saludo desde Argentina
Nice stuff. Good job at working safe!!
Why didn't you lower the head on the radial drill press ?
great video.
Guys that rig loads and move that sort of stuff are very skilled. one wrong placement of a sling or chain and its a lot of steel that is going over.'
Is great to see that some older gear is going to get some more use, it will last you well.
That's a strong 4x4 to hold up a one ton mill. I'll keep that tip in mind though. Step head mill=best head mill. Is that a 36" table or a 30"?
In 1999, they moved the Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina. At one point they supported the 5000 ton 200ft tall structure with oak cribbing. They used a lot of it but it is still amazing that they held it up with wood.
almost every house move involves timber cribbing supporting the whole structure at some stage
Nice looking machines. Were these all from an auction or a shop closing down, if so what did this end up costing you? Clearly a big investment, but hopefully one that pays off in increased capacity.
Is that a Pullmax behind the Horizontal Mill? Do they want to sell it if it is?
Nice video, and very Well handled by the People. Your 4 jaw, is a very good brand. Now by 600 group in uk, and chuck devision is called pratt burnerd. Very High quality.. If not the best 😀
Is it a Starrett No 135 level? I have one, they are very cute little levels.
Was that a machine moving company, or did the seller provide all the loading/unloading for you? Or was it your guys?
Curious... what did they charge you for the move? Love that trailer!

Never saw anyone move a Bridgeport like that....wow.
Somebody needs to rethink that with common sense.
It all survived.... amazing really.
How about from the side under the front and back of the ram with thin plywood on the forks so it doesn't slip??
JUST AWESOME !!! im jealous !
Ox Tools did an awesome video on leveling a lathe
Check out Tom Lipton's video on leveling a lathe.
For a split second I was thinking...What is Paul from OCC/PJD doing on the forklift :lol:
Jeez moving that Bridgeport looked pretty scary with only a block of wood lol
Holy COW that's a big lathe!!!
There's always something bigger - you'll just have to settle ;-)
hell yeah that's a big lathe, but check out the ones that make barrels for our battleships/destroyers... 4-5' swing and 30'+ beds.... yikes...
If you want to be shocked, look at how these massive lathes were made in WWI or WWII - concrete!
Leave it to me to call you right in the middle of all that. 😂
Thanks,
John
love the new toys hehe
what are you going to do with those big machines Sr.?
Make stuff.
Wait a minute... does it really say "Bridgebort" on the machine? Could've sworn that it's called "Bridgeport", or is it just a weird font they used?
way to go john

I always rig the lathe from the draw bar said the front is easier
Oil and massive chips???
Tom Lipton has a lathe leveling video on his channel oxtoolco
Whoa! That is a whole lot of cast iron.
John,
Here's a couple of Adam's videos when he moved his Monarch and leveled it and also making test cuts.

That would be after you get it through the door. :-)
john looking good. bob
Wow! That's a lot of iron for one day.
Maybe I'm weird but I have had dreams similar to this!!!
First this is cool.
Go man Go :)
Is that shop going out of business? If so, I find it to be a shame. America seems to be falling behind in the race. (teary eyes) Love that trailer! That is the way to go for sure. Thanks.
I see. So what's the deal with the machines? I gather they're selling them, what's the reason? Thanks.
Didn't you read his comment?
Yes, of course I read the comment, that still doesn't tell me why the machines are being sold. Enlighten me if you would please.
Duncan MacKenzie The company doesn't do machining in-house anymore, so why would they keep the machines, if they're not used?
I mean what changed? Why are they not machining in-house? Out sourced to China, India? What's the reason? That's what I want to know. I guess I didn't make myself clear.
those MAS Radial Drill - good quality stuff, made in Czechoslovakia :)
( produced by Kovosvit MAS - www.kovosvit.com/en/ )
Large machines? Where 😄
Heavy Metal!
10 tones lol. Metric tons. Tonnes
It amazes me how one can Come Across with so much knowledge and would not know what a ton is.
1 metric tonne = 2200 pounds
1 imp ton = 2240 pounds
😀😀
lol you can always count on google.
+Peter Linch I am guessing the guy's accent confused him.
Yeah English is hard to follow. lol
and 10ton is about 22000pounds , and thats overkill for what you where mowing . but better to overkill then cant lift it :D
The three countries which are not using the metric system are Liberia, Myanmar and of course… the United States of America
10 Tonne =10000 Kg
and england
+daniel lyall they mostly use metric or at least a combination of both now.
same with america in some states
I'm yet to see a metric street sign in the US. They're using it more in engineering, but still nothing with the public except for food and beverage labels.
you have a couple of roads that have both on the signs just googleing there are some hard core anti metric nuts out there
Time to get some "interns" aka "shop rats" to learn how a machines work by scrubbing them..........
Hi John
Tom Lipton did a video on leveling a lathe it is very good go check it out should give all you need to get your's level.
Dave
المبروك
YOUR MACHINES NEED ADJ. BOOT FOR LEVEL.
Oh sh... crap!
