Thank you for your effort in putting these videos together for us all. In my opinion these "KZitem" videos' are the best thing to happened to internet! Two safety comment: during the video, while you were cutting your aluminum panel, you should general try to make your short cut first so you don't have to back out of the cut that far. There is the potential of pulling the blade off the wheels. The 2nd is that your guide should have been down within a 1/4" to 1/2" above the work. Again, thank you for show casing your 10EE drive retrofit. I have a 1942 10EE with a problematic drive that I am considering replacing. Dan

But being a professional cabinetmaker, I was really enjoying your series on the Jimmy Diresta bandsaw restoration but it seems to have been back burnered. Hope you will be completing that one in the near future, as well as the horizontal mill. Keep ‘em coming. -Dave

Add tray and panel ground bonding wires to the lathe frame somewhere so you have a single point unified ground from the power supply to the motor and frame. Electrical codes on grounding and bonding back in the 1950's are not the same as we now know in 2022. NFPA or IEEE. That way the lathe operator will be safe from any electrical event and you do not get any extra electrical "noise" because of grounding and bond paths..

I bought a set of drill/tap drills from Greenlee years ago just for hand drill and tapping in sheet metal. I can't recall if I ever used them. I suspect that they were developed for the electrician for field tapping in sheet metal. I might have dug these out for this job just to see if both the tap drill and the tap mounted on the same tool was a practical idea. The problem that I have had with power tapping with a hand drill is the drill chuck cannot hold onto the hard tap shank effectively and slips, but I employed this method in my career far more often than using a hand tap handle. I don't like deep hole hand drill tapping, especially in steel, but sheet metal and cast iron works well enough to be my go to method. Keith had some trouble because he was doing his hand drill and tapping on a bearing drawer slide. Blocking that wiggle movement can prevent the novice from breaking a tap when employing the hand drill method.
@MrSleepProductionsInc
2 жыл бұрын
Using those Greenlee taps in a 1/4” impact works better than using a drill. If you use a drill and the tap binds up the drill tends to torque over off center and break the tap whereas an impact won’t keep trying to spin, just start doing its hammering thing.
@paulhunt598
2 жыл бұрын
@@MrSleepProductionsInc Thank you for the suggestion. I am not a fan of drilling with an impact gun, so I wouldn't have thought to try it on the drill/tap combo. Hand drilling taps is something that I still prefer to reserve for a 1/2" corded drill, like Milwaukee or DeWalt with a sufficiently slow RPM. Small taps are fine for cordless, but I still feel more confident with corded. The hex drive feature on the impact driver would eliminate the tap spinning in the drill chuck.

As he's mentioned before, he's doing the minimum work required to get this machine going. He's mainly using this as a prototyping platform for upgrading the other 10EE that he is in the process of fully restoring. If after he gets this all running and sees if it can actually gut a straight path, he might do some more cleanup on it, but will likely sell it off once he gets his restored 10EE going.

A Monarch 10EE is only a 12x20 lathe. Rather a small one. It seems a lot of effort to gain not a lot of capability. The basic lathe precision is certainty high, but then again, isn't usable accurately set by how accurately one trams in a part in a four jaw chuck? Of course there is always the restoration challenge. But I wonder. Cheers.

I’m just a little bit concerned about the support for that aluminum plate. Yes, it’s probably fine. But I’d prefer to see an angle from the bottom of the horizontal angle to the top screw of the vertical angle and plate, on at least both ends of one side of the plate, preferably both sides. There’s a lot of torque and leverage at the top of that plate. I don’t know how much the electronics will weigh, but those angles aren’t that sturdy. If they were 1.25” by a 1/4”, I wouldn’t be as concerned.

@@tracteurfan4734 True, but solid-state electronics are less tolerant to heat than tubes. Tubes work because of heat - foreigners refer to tubes as "thermionic valves" that is, heat is required for them to function. Solid-state electronics reliability goes down drastically with temperature, and this system is going to take some real big-boy heat sinks and cooling, not to mention some whopping big output transistors, to pass the kind of power that is required. All that just hanging in the air is going to be challenging, couple it to the iron of the lathe and you won't be able to touch it after a few hours.

If you allow them to get too long, the centrifugal force will cause them to extend out and start to rotate like the blades of a fan, the longer they are, the higher the speed at their ends and the closer they will get to your hand if you are holding the piece with your hand, they can cut your hand or break off and hurt you elsewhere on your body. They can also get caught in the helical grooves of the drill bit and distort the hole, scratch the surface of the part you are drilling or jam the drill bit in the hole causing it to break.
