i dont know id go quite that far

@@benrivenbark It doesn't look any worse.

You underestimate how good job the Japanese precision machine manufacturers do

@@MF175mp It was a compliment and not a slam against the original manufacturer of the lathe.

@@comictrio Hey man. No need to defend your opinion against anybody. Who cares if anybody has a problem with what you said. There will always be someone who disagrees or has their panties in a wad.

100 % AGREE !!!

Can someone please tell me about this scraping procedure. I must admit I’m totally ignorant on this process.

@@deanf7086 essentially just making a part as flat as possible by comparing it to a known flat: the granite stone. As you can see he puts ink on the stone and moves the part back and forth over it so only the high spots get inkt on them, remove the high spots and repeat until the entire surface gets spots of ink on it and there are no large concentrations or high spots left.

can you tell me why the need to scrape?, why not just flat the slide using vertical lathe or whatever y'll call that thingy is since he have own one, more flat more accurate and lest friction at least that is how i see it

@@FirdausAzhar87 no machine can archive the same perfection as a blued and scraped surface, even machines leave behind imperfection as a result of tool pressures, clamping forces etc and even if u manage to hold onto the part in a free state; the result will always be off since when machining metal u release stress in the metal even with cast that is super stable its still has to be scarped to get parallelism, flatness and squareness right.

@@ayanomihiiro953 thank's

yup! any day of the week I would take his over any other new one. His work is fantastic

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Whats even more amazing is that he managed all that in two months! Would have taken me two years...

@@swe-fragels7722 I have an old South Bend lathe I took apart and haven't got back around to putting it back together, and I started it last year...

Yeah, it’s totally just him and not an Asian production company.

@@lanceroark6386 are you accusing *cà lem* of not being REAL AF?!...if so, you are an utter fool. 🤣 there aren't many people in the whole fing _world_ who could do this type of work these days, much less with the level of skill and care that is demonstrated in every. single. video. lol, this isn't some clowns digging some fakeass house in the dirt in jungle, this is an engineer in a machine shop rebuilding one of the finest engine lathes ever produced, and making it better! even top top TOP machinists like robin renzetti and joe pie respect cà lem. class recognizes class!...that's your problem i think. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Patrick!

Thank you very much uncle Robin 🥰

Thanks sếp

@@CaLem ad người Việt Nam á? Tui không nghĩ người Việt Nam lại restore được như này.

When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail :D. I guess when your lathe is out, your mill starts to look more and more like one :D

Watch walkthrough of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

@@user-rv9vw5ef9e That's a great game and all but I don't know how that relates to machinist videos \

@@benrivenbark there's mill too, and it's turning. I tried to joke about homonymy and polysemy.

I've done that in my drill press since I have neither lathe nor mill.

Согласен. Его трудолюбие просто поражает. Трудяга. У него все станки -- класс
