Why not visit the shop while I do a repair on a tool slide for a Powermatic model 90 wood lathe. Long time viewers will remember a previous job I did on this same machine making a bushing to allow the owner to use tools with 1" shanks instead of the 1 1/8 shanks that came with the machine.
Hey if it works it was a good weld. :-) Glad you were able to get your friend back making chips. Stay safe!
Awesome Repair James always nice to help a friend out. Have a blessed week
Good fix. Looks great. Stay Safe James.
Hey you did better than I could of.. I'm surprised you just made a whole new part out of some 4140 stock and thread the bolt, drill for the shaft, been done with it. You put more machining into the bushing.
If I had had any 4140 on hand I would have. All I have for similar material was either two small a diameter or flat stock.
@@jtkilroy well great job use what ya got! And gitter done. Just knew you have the knowledge and machines. So was woundering, keep safe keep healthy.
Stay safe and healthy... viewer fan...
James, so glad you could make it out last week. It was nice to have us all together right before the isolation went into effect👍
Hi one day at a time for me in Australia I'm 61 years old with lung and heart troubles so very few people I now see here.. Love watching your clips keep them coming .
Thanks Mr. Boyd, and best of luck to you
Gday James, nice repair job, it’s good when you can help a mate out, please stay safe, Cheers Matty
Nice project well executed as always. Thanks James for your kind words too. If we all do our part it will help. All the best to you and yours and to the rest of this community also. Ian, Glasgow UK
Thanks James, I hope to stop by and say hi once we move on from covid-19. Take care of yourself and your family.
Wow That's the long way around the tree !
Great repair-refurbish job Jim. Don't sweat the TIG your do well. Remember TIG is such a high strength process..."a little dab will do ya" [Brylcreem welding lol!] My TIG set up has no control of amperage while welding, only on/off, but from experience I can preset the amperage for the job. You learn by doing and your doing well!
Ha, never heard that before. Mine sure looks like Brylcreem! Maybe toothpaste?
Nice repair to the wood lathe "Banjo" for a older model Powermatic lathe. The older ones were painted green and the newer ones like I have are Powermatic Gold in color. I am a woodworker who has enjoyed your channel for years and liked meeting you at the Bar Z Bash this past summer and look forward to going this year despite that I have a bit further way to travel. As always love the content!
Great repair--Best of health for you and yours.
Great Repair
I definitely understand your tig welding frustrations. Concepts and principles check. Putting all together at one time not so much.
And then you just have the days of when, The more I machine the better welder I become. But the more I weld the better at grinding I get. LOL
Stay safe out there.
Looking forward to the windy hill foundry video.
Thanks for the vid James it was an entertaining watch, thank heaven for the shop with regards to social distancing, cheers and stay healthy my friend!
Hi James , Nice job , welds looked good to me ,as my old boss use to say"A blind man would be glad to see them"" Love your style both me and my wife watch all your vids, great stuff.
Stay Well, Kind Regards, Mike from Cornwall , UK.
Nice. Auto darkening weld hood needs to show up under the x-mas tree. Helps a lot. Might have actually been easier to gas weld if your TIG machine doesn't have a foot treadle. Had to do those repairs on my Powermatic 25.
Nice job. I like those coasters on your table. I have 20 sets i am working on since the virus.
Because they are the bomb. And keep my table from developing rust rings. Thanks for stopping in Mike.
nice repair
I have the same Powermatic and had the same issue of not tightening enough. My solution was to remake shaft with a slight more eccentric. No bent up part though.
James, from your mouth to G_D's ear, regarding covid19. May you and your family avoid the virus.
I do remember that video... :)
Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!
Stay safe James. Watch out for those people that play with dead wood carcasses, they try and spread that addiction. LOL.
I am a recovered woodchuck, all 12 steps
surprised me would have thought you would have made a new part from round stock and turned new threads to eliminate welding
Just curious James, why not a light press for the new bushing, rest of the repair looked good.
You have to be able to get this thing apart and there isn't any easy way to press it back out if you pressed it in. I am afraid that would have resulted in the use of things like vise grips and channel locks, screw drivers and pry bars.
@@jtkilroy Thanks, James for the explanation
I am wondering why you didn’t just make a new one. It think it would have been less time consuming and a prettier result.
It was actually faster to repair as I didn't have any proper material on hand. I have lots of 12L14 of the correct size but I hardly consider that proper for this application.
Ah, ok, I’m still learning, mainly from people like yourself. Thanks ! 👍
you wood chucks quit chuckin my wood!
Those needle nose pliers your missing are in your chip pan.
Most bulky wood lathe I´ve yet to see.
Nice and solid
seat time will help develop your welding skills. i am surprised that you opted to do a weld repair vrs making a new part. it would have made a much more interesting video.
I was torn, but I needed to turn it around quickly. I would have been more comfortable with a new part.
i thought your would have reamed the bushing for a proper fit....!
Those bearings in your grinder appear to have extremely low friction. (SQUIRREL!)
Good quality grinders do that. My Baldor takes two days to stop. LOL
Why don’t you just make a new part instead of fixing that POS part ?
Turn around time
That awful piano music is an extreme turnoff.
Thanks for your input, I have been thinking about changing the music.
