I'll rather change the batteries
I have the same grinder and has the same wobble
Would be quicker to just fold a piece of cello tape about 2" long and wide enough to fit then slide it under the battery and slide the cover back, so just slide out the tape before use and put it back after, simple! :)
I pop the battery out and put it back in upside down in storage. This way i always know where it is and it doesn't drain.
I don't know exactly what happens when you do that, but won't it set up some kind of nasty electrolytic reaction?🤔
@@EleanorPeterson Hasn't so far. The negative is touching both of the contacts while the positive is just hanging out against the plastic.
It is a pleasure to watch. Good video.
if you lock it with the screw it wont turn on when it gets bumped in storage edit: nvm just watched your other video.
If you keep your soldering tip clean and it will work better...
it never was the shaft running out of balance but the grinding wheel itself.
Very fiddly and maxed out from the factory to boot! No wonder people buy so many quartz. 😮
Almost all my quartz watches are stopped. Batteries has died, but mechanical watches i can pull out any time and ready to wear. The one kinetic seiko is still alive 😊
@aleksandrorlov1515 It is true that batteries die of course. It's not super difficult to replace them, plenty of vids on UA-cam. All my solar quartz watches are still working fine, some after 15 years. 😀
♻ still searching & byuing them in NON-WORKING conditon, for parts or repair : i'm a beginner on chronographs ♻
I opted to avoid the swan neck fine regulator on this movement as it is really not a movement that benefits from such a fine adjustment mechanism given its general build quality and finishing. working with the regulator pin positions is made easier without the faff of the swan neck and will achieve a reasonable outcome on my timegrapher
It looks like paying extra money for swan neck version is waste.😅
Rubber ball opens all this style back in my experience.
You can tell by the movement sound.. that is a fake mitutoyo
Great restoration and I love the previous one made with tools available at the time.
Thanks. And yes, a Black & Decker drill, a massive 12" file and a blow torch.
If you want a real challenge mines doing the same but the sockets square 😂😂😂
It pays to get a quality caliper with a locking screw.
I've wired my calipers up to a huge solar panel that I wheel around with it - you just can't be too careful. Actually many come with a small plastic tab that you pull out to initially turn the calipers on. You can put this tab back in by feeding it through the hole for the battery and out the thin gap. It takes longer than taking the battery out, but it quicker when using it.
I found simple solution to this problem - just tighten the lock screw , turn it off and battery is never be flat. I already use this method for long time and never had this problem any more.
After purchasing several and constantly finding the same 'dead battery' caliper issue, I make it a point to purchase the ever more popular versions with "Auto Off" functionality. Problem averted! :-)
A bit more simple approach I think..... ua-cam.com/users/shorts8zkRsqdXSmo
Clever. A good fix. I slavishly remove the battery after every use.
Loving the beard
Winter plumage. It gets cold out there.
Great video mate. I love the, oops i don't have a tool, so i will just make one moment.
Cheers. All I ever seem to make is more tools, though.
Nice
This unwittingly illustrates the problem with these watches/brands. You shouldn't have had to modify the adjusting screw if the thing had been made properly in the first place. I had a homage watch with this movement and the winding mechanism broke after 6 months. These watches get rave reviews but there are q c issues.
It very knowingly illustrates that these movements are not to be regarded as quality movements in any respect. With new ST1901 movements available at around 100 $/£/€ you're going to get the quality and quality control that you've paid for. Any mechanical chronograph at less the 1k $/£/€ would be 'workhorse' quality at best. Seagull et al are nothing more that novelties with curiosity value to play about with.
♻ sell it for parts or repair : parts are hard to find on ST19 ... so i'm searching for such non working ones (🇫🇷 ) repair of the winding mechanism (click spring) is also a common issue on old ST19 i had (2 by now had this issue)
Loved the timelapse where you just stood there for minutes. What was going through your head in that moment?
Nothing.
So i need lathe machine
very nice job - very inspiring 😊
I like the concept of the fixture, but you need to refer to the Machinery's Handbook for press fits for bearings.
Agreed. Table 17, page 2465 of the 31st edition, doesn’t go down to a 4mm shaft diameter but it does imply a j6 deviation. Table 6a on page 682 provides a tolerance not specified deviation for a 4mm shaft as +5 (0.005mm [0.0001972"]). I’d imagined, at the time, that those real specifications would have been that tight and didn’t want to mess with trying to hit them, but I should have looked them up before hand to give me some idea instead of guessing that +0.03mm would be OK. Learned by that mistake, though. I’ll not forget it. Using DGB bearings is complete overkill, but I had them to hand. If I did this over again, I’d just turn out some simple disc rollers or wheels and they’d do just as well.
And all that to save putting in a screw to hold it together and make it easy to service, what happened to the right to repair? I think we should all stop buying glued items.
Heee her buy new one😅
E al contrario…
❤❤❤
Thank you Tom, Just spend most of the day watching all fourteen videos (and subscribed to your channel). Not only entertaining but also useful - I am thinking about another of Hemingway's kits, so it was great to see your experience... I know the original Westbury design also used aluminium castings, but personally not convinced that aluminium running on steel is best idea? I'd be interested how you get on with it long term...?
Good show, you had a long day. I've been in service engineering for a major industrial diesel engine manufacturer for 40 years and aluminium bearings are common in low load applications - accessory drives, hydraulic pumps, compressors and even connecting rod and main bearings on the unloaded shells. Passenger cars and motor cycles also have overhead camshafts running directly in the aluminium cylinder heads. It works well but does take heavy loads and does not self lubricate well if the oil film is broken through. Properly oiled it lasts well enough.
@@TomIreson Thank you for an explanation. Oil film is the trick - my bad experience was indeed with stuff that was running dry, with aluminium galling and behaving more like grinding paste (aluminium oxide 😜I guess). Look forward to more of this type of videos. Thank you 👍
Nice magnets, and the trick with the rope when you are sawing small pieces, great! When you hold two pieces in the vice, clamp a piece of drawing paper with the parts, it will compensate different part heights, maybe.
Riding an elephant to catch grasshoppers
Why not just run the drill whilst traversing ?... 🤷♂️
I was running the drill bit but then got curious as to whether it would plane cut stationary or not. It did, very easily, so I filmed it.
@@TomIresonIf you have the room for it , pick up a shaper... I have a 12" Elliot and I've used it to make racks and pinions amongst other things... hypnotic watching the steel peel off.. 🙂👍☘🍺
The 'shop' is 6' x 8'. Hardly enough room for me and a camera.
@@TomIreson... Okay, you'll be needing a pocket-shaper so, Tom... 🙄😅👍❤
Its not great to stop mid-cut with carbide inserts as they are very likely to chip... better to have an over-depth groove at the hole bottom to allow the cutter to run in to.. then back off the tool and reverse.... 😎👍☘🍺
There was a radial relief grove already cut in the bottom of the hole. The inset tip was stopping within that groove.
@@TomIreson Okay then... 😏 Carry on, sir !! 😂👍 BTW... A sub & a like costs me nothing so why da hell not... 🤔... 🤭 😎👍☘🍺
Grinding the end of the boring bar at an angle would help prevent this.. and as someone else said, set up a stop on the bed for the carriage so it can only go to depth and no more... 😎👍☘🍺
I normally set the carriage stop and retract the top (compound) slide by -0.1mm for a final finishing face cut at the bottom of the bore hole. My mistake was a lapse in concentration and I set the top slide +0.1mm deeper, hence the crash. Mistakes happen.
@@TomIreson Tom , I had a lapse in focus many many years agoin work... I now only have nine and a half digits to remind me.. 🤷♂️😂
Dial calipers.
Forgot to take the wretch off😮
Wtf..why? And your mits are fakes!
Thank you. That was a very nice outcome !!
Super
Nicely done, Sir! I still learn tricks from you older machinists every day.
❤❤❤
why you din't install tasmota or esphome on it? secondly what device you sued for testing the capacitor the black attachment on the multimeter?
Why didn't you use oil? That's going to be bad for the bit.
Cast iron is relatively soft and contains so much carbon that it becomes self lubricating. It's almost always machined dry.
Hi Tom, excellent, work, thank you very much! I really appreciated and was actually inspired by the ease with which you deviated from the plans in order to simplify, improve, even avoid nonsensical features.Enjoyed your work-holding and "conversions to metric" too! Hemingway, I believe, should thank you for this excellent work!
Thank you Aris. It's good to understand that these types of kits are home hobby projects often designed a very long time ago by capable amateur engineers or professionals in their spare time, to the now obsolete standards of their day. As such, the documentation and materials can never be to current industrial standards. It would be impractical for anybody to re standardise the materials or drawings - an enormous amount of uneconomical expensive work for the suppliers. If it was just a matter of following detailed instructions with absolutely 100% perfect quality materials there would be fewer problems to unpuzzle and less work to do. Less hobby. Expectations of these kits should be that they get you 50% there. The rest of it is for the hobbyist to provide.
The joys of being a machinist. You always figure out a way to make a tool that's gonna be more useful than the original.
The draw bar on my milling machine has no brake. I have to hammer my wrench on to get it nice and tight while also holding the spindle.
