American Pacemaker Compound Slide Reassembly

[Music] thank you [Music] we're going to start cleaning up the rest of our component parts for our cross slide all these parts have been accumulating some surface thrust throughout the year so I want to start getting this thing back together and these are pretty Rusty so we're going to get them cleaned up just like the handle right there this is a little bit more tricky piece to get in there and clean up so I want to soak them first try to help eliminate most of that rust that's on there and then we can kind of give them a Polish with the wire brush and and get them cleaned up so we'll use our evapor rust for that foreign this one doesn't need it that's just your uh that's your dial there your divisional lines on there just to where it covers them up you don't want anything sticking out of the solution there and then once this is done you can you know save this and pour it back in The Jug and keep reusing it so I don't know how long these will take I would imagine these aren't very really heavily rusted so they may only take a couple of hours so we're just going to keep a an eye on it and whenever they look ready to go we'll pull them out of there and get them cleaned up so while our parts are soaking getting cleaned we're going to move on this is the base of our compound here we've already got it all clean and then we're going to go ahead and install our bronze lead screw nut right here I do have a video on this if you haven't seen it Machining this guy and when I made this I ended up giving it just enough clearance so that it would just start kind of sliding into the hole this is the mounting hole right there I didn't want it to be so tight that I couldn't align the threads there we want to make sure that the threads are aligned with our lead screw this way it should be pretty straightforward so hopefully all will go according to the plan here and we'll get it started in there it'll go down just like that and it's starting to get snug there all right so I've got my square butt ready and what we can do is align it like this with the side and bump it down in there but once we bump it in I'm hoping that we should be able to just kind of tap it we've got our soft blow and be able to tap it like that and get it get it aligned Okay so we're going to go ahead and try to get it somewhat aligned as close as we can and that's looking pretty good right there just visually checking it out so let's go ahead and bump it in there I'm just going to go ahead and use this block of wood here to finish bumping it in we're just trying not to deform this wall here where our threads are going to be going in there and I was looking pretty good too see I can tell it needs Just a Touch that looks like about as close as I can visually see it honestly I mean it might be a couple of thousands that's looking pretty good I think we got just a touch more to go there we go that should be seated right there I've also verified it this way going across our face of our dovetail here and across the face of the nut squared up nicely so we've hit our first snag in the assembly I was just doing a a pre-fit on this make sure everything was going together I'm glad I did because I realized that we're going to have to make a modification to our bronze nut right here so this block of steel or I'm sorry not block of steel this this block of bronze that we use for that nut was inch and three quarter wide and I left it that because there's plenty of clearance up inside here this uh casting here is cleared out to clear this nut here plenty of room but what I didn't take in consideration was when you're installing it like this right here when you're setting the two halves together there's not enough room with this being this wide for the top piece to set down on there and I'll show you what I mean but so here's our original nut right there and it measures inch and a quarter wide and ours is an inch and three quarter wide so it's a half inch wider let me pull this back I'll show you what I'm talking about so you should be able to just set this right on down on top of it right but the problem is you can see on this left side here you've got to get you've got you got to be able to clear this dovetail in order to get down all the way but it's already hitting this right side of the nut on the casting so that little bit of clearance that we didn't give that nut is proving to be a challenge and and an error so we're going to have to make that nut the same width as this guy right there so what we're going to do is bump that guy back out of there and we'll set it up in the milling machine and Mill a couple you know Mill the two sides down so that this should I mean it's just just barely too wide that dovetail right there for it not to clear and go down and it should be able to just kind of pivot down and then be in the center of the casting there so kind of a bummer there but not a big deal we'll make it right all right a few bumps we got it out of there and you can see where it's where it's hitting that side right there trying to come down and then a little bit better look on the width there that we need to uh to match so maybe we'll set up in a collet block or something I'm not sure or the super spacer we could do that and just do do some side Milling on it before I move on to the Machining of the nut I want to see how our parts are doing here in the evapo rust so they've been in for an hour and a half now there's our bearing housing and it looks like it's done great it's already removed that little bit of light surface rust on there so minimal polishing that we'll have to do on that so this guy can come on out I mean it doesn't need to stay in there anymore let me see this one just had a very small amount it looks like it's ready to go too yeah I forgot to get this oil out of that we need to get this guy out because I got some new ones to install so I think that one's good to come out and this shaft right here yep that's what's really nice about this evaporus is if you have Parts with just very minimal surface rust accumulated on it it really doesn't take long to uh to soak them and get that little bit of rust off there so I think those I'm going to go ahead and pull out the handle here it's still working this is some deeper heavy rust on this handle right there and you can see it's it's still working at that so we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and drop that one back in there I'm just going to go ahead and wipe off some of that some of that existing rust that's on there we'll put that back in I did drop in the hex nuts these are what hold the compound down to the Cross slide and they they had a lot of rust on them too so we're going to let them soak and we'll just polish those to make them look good all right but uh yeah that's looking pretty good too there as well and it's still covering up those handles all right so we'll just let that stuff continue to soak but you can see these are doing these are doing excellent right there just need a little bit of Scotch Brite and those will be ready to go for our cutter we'll use this Walter roughing and Mill this is one of the two that I had got to machine the bed rails on the flex this one is a solid carbide four flute fine pitch roughing End Mill and there should be plenty of flute link there to be able to Mill the sides of that so this should work pretty good and cut down on the chatter and I use er40 collets in the KBC Mill all right we're ready to Mill it I I did find the center so we're working off the center line there we'll make a rough cut on each side and then we'll finish it out feed it by hand just to kind of feel what's going to happen here before I Engage The feed [Applause] [Music] all right that's doing pretty good power feed I love those free cutting roughing end mills [Applause] [Applause] speed to feed up just a touch there all right we'll offset it the other side all right [Laughter] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] so that was our roughing pass we still got a 16th to Mill off each side so we've got it all set and ready to go [Applause] thank you [Applause] give it a quick check to see where we landed on our size we're shooting for inch and a quarter on our width there and according to our calipers we're about looks like two two to three thousandths over so we're where we need it that's not a fussy size right there that we need to worry about it should give us our clearance that we're looking for hopefully I'm not going to worry about this radius up here I'm just going to leave this just like it is I think it looks fine the way it is you know so we're all we're going to do is just deburt from this point now you guys might remember that I ended up making two of those nuts because well we've got two knots and two lead screws because my plan was is to sell the other as a set in the future at some point whenever we're done with the project so I'm going to go ahead and set up and do this one since we have our setup ready to go and have this one ready to go there as well [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] foreign [Laughter] guys I have reinstalled the modified leech crew nut there we'll give it a test fit and see if it drops on there this time yeah there we go should go all the way back and it touches the back of the nut there and then forward to there everything looks good to go hopefully everything's nice and centered through the spindle bore there man that feels good all right so now we can move on to what we'll do next is let me get this bearing housing here and show you so this guy has got some dings on here from people hitting on it over the years you got something right there so I'm gonna go to the lathe and get this guy deburred cleaned up polished a little bit and what I'd like to do is fit it into the end here let's see if I can slide that around a little so it's going to go into here let me see the uh pin goes to the bottom I want it to I don't want it to be a press fit and I don't want it to be loose and sloppy I want it to where it'll just push in there and then we'll use the the pen to align it and keep it in place there so we'll do that and then start getting it installed here on the lead screw it'll be about like so so we have our two ball bearings and get this uh get this guy together a couple dings that were put in this thing and you can see where it's uh kind of rolled it over a shiny spot there just want to get rid of those high spots those two look like they might be ready to go there's a pretty sharp edge on that inside bore I think I want to chamfer it let me break that edge just a little bit all right that's looking good we'll flip it around and do the same on the other side this about I don't know maybe 3 16 of this sticks out of the compound housing so there's just little marks on here and I actually think that for aesthetic purposes we're going to face this off I mean just take a few thousands off of it let's go ahead and finish our polish in make sure those high spots are gone there it's 320 grit so I mean and this it was used so you can see it's not really cutting anything it's more of a Polish than anything so I think I want to make a face cut that'll make that look a little bit more appealing just a few thousands we just want to touch it I didn't even clean it up take another two cleaned up the face and then we'll do the same thing we'll put a little uh chamfer on those Corners there either they didn't want to do it or they forgot to whenever they made that piece just to break the corner all right that guy should be ready for installation now all right this is our bore that the bearing sleeve is going to be going in just like that this is the tapered pin so it's going to be fitting in just about like this right here and it is a very close fit you can see that we can just kind of it's pushing in there it's getting a little more snug the deeper you go so I don't want to get it I don't want to get it all the way in there but I can continue to get it push it in there so I think that's going to be a pretty good fit so my soft blow hammers work perfect put my belly up against it and pull it out of there so I think this is going to be pretty good right where it's at we'll go ahead and start assembling we got we got to get this gear in here and then we got to get the bearings pressed into this I'm uh I'm hoping that I'm gonna end up putting this together in the right sequence anyway I've actually referenced my video where I took this apart and in hopes that we actually put this together the right way been working on getting all the other parts cleaned up there we're just about done I want to get this guy set up and we'll polish this shaft right there this is actually a bearing journal and it's going to fit through this piece right here so this is cast iron and it gets oiled so it just works as a plane bearing there and Spins for that guy and then the the lead screw is the one that gets the bearings so polish this I want to polish up these gear teeth just a little bit there as well I have already polish the gear teeth on this gear right there that's the mating gear that's going to go it's going to fit on there like so and I think that was it we've just I've been cleaning up these parts you know just simple stuff cleaning them scrubbing them hitting them with the wire brush or Scotch Brite there's our bearing housing all cleaned up now we still got to do this and there's a little bit of paint and crud down in those crevices right there and all I'm going to do is just use a just a simple wire brush like this to get up in there and it's going to brush that that rust and paint that's still up in that corner nicely and it's giving the metal a little bit of a Polish there as well so that's how I'm going to clean this guy is just like so that evapor rust did really good getting all that rust off there now it's just a matter of just kind of polishing the polish and everything to kind of brighten it up a little bit so I'll continue to work on that you can still see there's a little bit of paint down in there so hit it with that wire brush it comes right on out of there so I'll finish cleaning that but um one thing that we got to do forgot about this we need to get this ball Oiler out of this guy because I've got some new ones to install so we'll do that next we'll try this number four easy out see if we can get it to catch the little sleeve that's it now we can clean out that hole and get all that old oil and junk out of there all right so we got that ball Oiler out of there and so what I had ordered this I got these earlier in the year these are some new ball Oilers that I purchased from McMaster Carr 5 16 in diameter all right I was hoping that I could find the Brass Ball Oilers but this is what they had and that's what I got and I had even searched on eBay and found a pack of NOS ball Oilers these guys right here and these are the same size as well and I actually like how they've got a little step there to kind of line themselves up in the hole the problem is they've been sitting out in the elements so long is that I just don't like the way the exterior of them looks I think they're galvanized so if I go polishing on this it's going to take the galvanized off of them and they're going to start rusting so I don't think I'm going to use this that this one's not in bad shape but two of them there are pretty cruddy I'm just going to save these put them in the toolbox and we're just going to use these that I bought from McMaster and I've got a punch let me grab it I forgot to grab it so I've got this little piece of uh bronze bar that has been used as a punch for years and what I did I just went ahead and turned the end to match the diameter of the flange right there and we'll use that to gently knock those those guys in the hole there so we got that one to do and then we have three over on the the top slide of the compound all right we'll start with this guy here I went ahead and cleaned up the edge with a deburr tool let's see if we can get this guy started in there looks like it's still trying to shave a little of the coating off but all right there we go I like it a lot better than what was in there all right so we got three more to do let's go over and do those now all right so here's our three other these two is what you use to oil the ways the sliding ways this one here is to drop oil down onto our bronze lead screw nut all right and I want to point out that I just cleaned all this out I cleaned all the holes really well using this heavy duty Degreaser right there there was still grease and grime stuck in there and that stuff does a really good job of breaking it out and then you take the air air gun and blow it all out so everything is nice and clean now I don't have to worry about the uh the holes being dirty so let's try this again it's definitely trying to shave these uh these are measuring about five thousands big so it's trying to shave a little that galvanizing or zinc whatever it is probably zinc coated there we go all right there's one go ahead this guy here this is where it fits it'll have the other gear mounted in there but I'm just doing a little mock up so you can see it's going to fit right there you got three bolts that bolts it in looks like it's lined up right where it needs to be so I'm glad that I got those they definitely need to be changed out so we'll go ahead and move on and start getting the rest of this together got the shaft polished up in the lathe and what I want to do now is go ahead and just give these gear teeth a little polish so what I got is this wheel right here and what I have done is I've shaped this on the pedestal grinder to fit the profile of the gear teeth right there [Applause] it doesn't need much we're just kind of [Music] just polishing it getting rid of any Burrs that are on there sometimes they build up just little slivers of metal and chips in there too foreign [Applause] [Music] I love that new grinder that air cat it's nice and quiet they don't have that stupid safety switch on there you just you push it and it goes so that's all it needs right there it's cleaned up that should be good to go all right let's get this going all right so the uh the shaft will come in from the back side just like this here you have to do it this way because the uh the gear would not fit through the board that's what I was trying to get at you have to bolt that on and Slide the gear in from the back side all right so what I want to do next before we finish putting this together I got a little bit of whey oil over here I want to go ahead and put a little bit of just a little bit of whey oil in there I'm going to lubricate the uh the gears later once we get it together we'll be able to do that all right there's that now I've got I've got two new Woodruff Keys here I've taken these they're they're usually really tight I didn't want to have to beat them in there so I've taken them I've filed them with a just lay a smooth file down like this and I just kind of work it on the smooth file until it feels like it's starting to push in there and I did want to put these things were really tough to get out so what I'm going to do is just put a dab Just a Touch of never Seas all right we will and clean the rest of that off there all right so here's our dial and then this part is Precision Fit to it it fits through here like so and the way they've got this faced on the back is that this part of this um bushing here is actually I can tell that it's sticking proud of the dial just by a few thousands so that whenever you loosen this collar up that spins easy it's not spinning on this face here this stays stationary on it so we got to get this on here now let me put a little bit of oil on here and see if that will help get this together so if we can get it on here foreign snug fit to get it on there can't tell it looks like it's hitting that key I think it is okay all right so there's that put a little bit of oil in here yeah that feels nice so this is the one that you loosen when you want to move the dial tell you what we'll put a little drop of oil on there too and so now we have our handle that's going to go on there um okay all right and then all that's left there is this guy is what they use to secure the handle on the on the end of the shaft there we're just going to screw it on there hand tight for now and leave it just like that all right we're going to go ahead and get this gear pressed onto the shaft there I've got it started by simply just trying to push it together with my hands so it is started there lined up with the Woodruff key and I wanted to say that I've actually verified that it's going on the the correct direction based off the photographs I took whenever I removed it from the cross slide so since I don't actually have a press in the shop well I got the smaller press over there but I don't have a press big enough for this to go in to press it we're just going to use this method right here I've got a socket and this will fit down over the shaft to clear it and we'll use a soft blow it shouldn't be very tight so let's see and the key already messed up because now it's trying to push the uh the Woodruff key out of there so already messing up let me see if I can I'll get a punch and I'll see if I can tap on this key to try to get it to Pivot back down up underneath there but if not we'll have to push it back off and that was it right there we got her try this tell you what let's do this since it wasn't too tight okay so we didn't have it quite far enough out of the soft Jaws here we go that worked out good the perfect fit on that gear right there and so the rest of the shaft here is going to slide up into the two ball bearings and you'll have a bearing lock nut that goes on the end all right next up we've got our bearing housing here we've got our two new SKF bearings I believe these were 3201 is what the size was I'm sorry 6201 I went ahead and pre-oiled them they feel silky smooth and I've kept them in the Box in this bag here so that the dust doesn't collect on them to smooth the silt so this will use our little famco Arbor press and it should be pretty simple right there we've got a socket that's designed I mean not designed but the size to where it will just fit inside the bore there and it's only pressing on the outer race so we'll go over to the little famco and get these guys pressed in foreign foreign we're going to go in for the well hopefully will be the final assembly and I have kind of gone back through my previous videos and photos to see how it all came apart and I'm hoping that it's going to go together smoothly let's go ahead and give these guys a final wipe down get any dust off of them I really I really like the way that flaking pattern turned out on this uh bottom side of this slide I just think it's a very beautiful pattern and I'm happy the way it came out so we've got these all wiped off here plan is to set this down on there we're going to screw the spindle in there we'll screw it in and then hopefully we can get the sleeve here the bearing housing to push up in there without too much fuss and get it all together and once we do that should be that should be it all right so we've got our clean go ahead and put a little bit of this is whey oil that I've been using here for the machines go ahead and make sure that it's oiled up good and let's see let's get a little on the dovetail here as well I'm gonna go ahead and put a little bit in the the bronze nut here and I'm going to go ahead and put a little bit on the top slide here as well all right you got some oil on the dovetail slide I think we we are ready to go okay there it is nice all right we'll put a little bit of oil on our Acme thread here and the plant is just kind of screw this in here as far as I can and then we'll pull the top we'll slide it back and hopefully we can get everything to just kind of line up together since that sleeve shouldn't be a very tight fit we should be able to kind of bump it in there and the other thing I got to do is make sure that it's lined up with the tapered pin but this is what's going to help us get the sleeve in its final alignment through the the tapered hole there that pin goes in all right I think everything's going together good now I've got it in a position that I think we can take our sleeve and go ahead and bump it in there I'm going to try to just visually level out the knot for the the tapered pin at the top foreign we're gonna go for it I'm hoping I got it lined up there man I just about got it perfectly lined up I'll have to see if I can get you a picture through this hole here about as perfect as you can get it by eyesight that looks good that should be good all we got left to do now really is to uh if we can get that pin in there to line the sleeve up then we can go ahead and bump it on in a little further onto our spindle there so we can get our we've got a lock ring and then the bearing nut to secure it all right there's our tapered pin cleaned nicely look at that like it was made for it feels good right about there I think I see what it is I think that bearing pushed back oh yeah that's what it was right there that was it so we got that's going to be our retainer and then the uh the bearing nut retainer that's what that keyway is for right there it's back see if we can get this guy started on there so we're just going to use a pin a pin punch I think that's there we'll try to just very gently kind of tighten it up a little bit that's feeling really nice like butter I think that's going to be pretty good right there where it's at I'm going to keep playing around with this off camera just to make sure that we have everything kind of set the way we want but I think that's going to be it right there I got to make sure that one of these slots is lined up with one of those tabs on the little spider so that we can kind of bend that down and that's what prevents this nut from moving and backing off all right next up we're going to go ahead and install our Gib is our taper Gibb there we got her cleaned off and I'm going to oil it well I've got the screw here cleaned got a little dab of anti-seize on the end of it so we'll oil this up and get that in there and kind of get this adjusted before I make my final adjustments I think I've got the bearing set to where they need to be including this right here but before I put the oil cap on there I want to get the Gibb in there and make sure everything feels right before I set that retainer ring in there for the bearing lock nut all right we got our Gibb here I'm going to put a little bit of oil on the flight side here this is your bearing side right there that's going to be your sliding the other side is uh static all right let's go push it in there like that by hand actually already messed up so we got to get our this little slot here is for the screw to set in and I'm sorry that I'm blocking the camera just got to get it started there we go just running in there with the screw I'm gonna put a little bit of SP 350 right there on the end of the screw literally no backlash in that I love it back it out just a little bit still a little snug so we'll do some fine tuning on that Gibb there but I wanted to get it kind of in place that's about where it's going to go but we may do some final tweaks on it so let me just run this thing in and out a little bit make sure everything feels good that's the back of the stroke there I still need to put a little Lube on the gear we'll do that as well I think we got this ready to go I feel good about where we have everything set nope I still need to you see the movement right here so I don't have that adjusted right I need to do this a little bit more so we can take that backlash out of there there's a little hole in this nut here I don't have a proper pin spanner we can just kind of tap this I wanted to just take up the backlash there that's feeling pretty good man excited about this finally seeing it all come together all right we got the tab bent over into the lock nut there that should be it so this is the cap that goes on the end there I think it's pretty cool the way they did it myself just stamped oil on there there's a set screw you stick in the hole that closes it up so whenever you want to put some oil and the bearings there you just pull the set screw out use your use your Oiler like this guy right here and just squirt a little bit of oil in there I've got it filed and kind of polished a little bit and I got it out of there by putting a bolt in there and just kind of snatching it out just press it in finger tight like that right there that should be good to go got the original set screw that they used to plug the hole here a little slotted slotted set screw all right guys this thing is back together it is done we've got one more little thing to do but the movement of the screw it's nice and smooth I love it so I'll tell you what let's uh run this four that's as far as it'll go right there I want to go ahead and flip this guy up it's heavy all right and then right in here where our gears are we need to go ahead and um let's Lube those gears we'll put some grease on there because this is something that you don't normally get in there and lubricate so we'll go ahead and do that next and then that'll be done it'll ready to go back on the lathe all right now you can see our gears we've got her moved out a little bit more I'm just going to use this stay Plex red Grease on the gears put a little bit on this bottom gear and it should transfer to the top it's got a little bit of oil on there too so that's why it's kind of trying to slide off on me all right that should be good all right well this thing is uh assembled I know I keep saying that but we are we just got the grease on there on the gears I'm going to lay it back down and this guy is going to be ready for the lathe just like that so really excited to finally have this guy back together it feels great we'll do some final tweaking with our Gib once we get it bolted in and I can move this around with an indicator and kind of see what our what our play is in there but I still got a few more Little Hardware pieces over there in the evaporus I need to get those out clean those up next phase from here we're going to take this over to the lathe get it mounted up get our tool post mounted you know get it bolted on and uh hopefully in that video we'll also be making our first test cuts on the American pacemakers so pleasure seeing this back together I hope you've enjoyed following this little project and getting the getting the compound all reassembled and we'll see you again very soon [Music]
