That was superb Paul. Another excellent showcase for your skills and a variety of interesting processes. I have only moved workshops once, I feel your pain.
NIce solution. I would never have thought of pressing it in. I've been looking at my broken one for a while. I suppose I don't have a reason to postpone it any further.
Good thing you changed to a dead centre. In the video we can clearly see the life centre flexing. I have one of your stickers on my cheap door, but I don't remember if I did send you one of mine.
Hi, I was concentrating so hard on the thread that I nearly didn’t see the problem. I never received a sticker no worries I’m sure the postman has it up on his wall🤪🤣 cheers
Hi Sir!! I follow you in all your videos, from Argentina. I have got 2 lathes, as old as yours. All of them are in bad conditions as yours too. Im tring to fix them up. One off them is a Leopoldo Pontiggia 1951. The other is an Argentinian brand, with poor quality. Tell my, my friend, after 2 years, how the epoxi fix works in your lathe bed? Does it works fine?
Hello, can I ask if you ever had a taper cutting problem on your warco 250v? When cutting without the tailstock I'm getting a 0.02mm taper over 3", I've leveled as best as I can to no avail. Any suggestions?
Hi, you will do! especially if the material is is around 1/2" (13mm) or less. It's the material trying to climb over the cutter. The smaller the diameter the more likely it's going to happen. The best tool for reducing this effect would be a very sharp HSS cutter taking a very light cut. Material should be supported at both ends, especially if the material sticks out of the chuck more than 2.5 times its diameter. There are many reasons that the material could taper cut including, how the machine sits on the floor, how clean the machine was when it was assembled, how accurate the Warco test sheet report really was at manufacture to mention just a few. Sometimes the easiest way to get the finished dimensions is to practice the ancient art of piecemeal-ing. cheers
By the way all machines taper, only the very best and the heaviest machines can be reasonably accurate, most of the time. It's amazing how many machines still need to have the last cut made with the best paralleling tool in the machine engineers toolbox.... emery cloth!
Bravo! Especially with the square hole!
Yes, that was a smart move!
Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
Hi Thanks.
Sometimes working with limited tools is a nice challenge..and in the middle of moving its something else entirely.
Great little video.
Hi, thanks, regards
Had to watch this one again, a really great job at replacing that screw, it came out wonderfully!
Hi, It sure did turn out ok, but it was still a challenge especially during the square key forming process. cheers
Good job , hope the house sale goes well and the new premises are mor than suitable to a shed upgrade 👍👍
Hi, thanks, my fingers are crossed
Interesting Paul. Thank you. Cheers
Bravo.......looks like acme thread......cheers

Hi, thanks..
Hi Paul thanks for sharing hope your workshop situation gets resolved soon.
so do I, cheers
well done as usual ! Great tip for the square hole !
Hi, thanks
Nice repair and very nice presentation for a really interesting repair. Thanks for the video and cheers!
Hi, cheers👍

Nice work.
Cracking job, i guess you saw the price of replacements!
Phil
Hi. No I didn’t try to find a replacement, I just wanted something to do. Cheers
I've never seen blacking steel by heating and dropping in Linseed oil before. Very good.
Excellent job! Thanks for sharing. Ken

love your show !
I'm not normally one to name my machines but I think you should name that lathe Lazarus. You have done a ressurection act on it.
True. But there’s still lots to do. Cheers
Nice job and is that a Chas Taylor chuck I see 😉😁
Hi thanks. Yes it’s a Taylor chuck. I made a video of how I fixed it. Cheers
All's well that ends well.
True, very true.

Hi, with the cast iron in the resin it is still holding up very well. regards

So which is it a shoe or a glove?😂😂
Hi, actually, it’s more of a boot. 🤪
Nice work.
