Rockwell Bandsaw Repair Part 1

YouTube has a lot of cnc channels, I'm here for the abom experience in manual machines

Don't apologize for not having the expertise to do this on a CNC machine. Even an experienced CNC guy would take longer than you on a manual machine to do this job. This is exactly the type of job that lends itself perfectly to a manual machine and a skilled manual machinist. Repair work like this will always be the domain of a manual machine and machinist.

This is my kind of machining, don't even watch the cnc or programmers, great video Adam, keep'um coming.

Any reason why you did not face the end of the part? That way you had a machined surface to indicate if it returns for other repairs

I have been watching Adam's videos for at least ten years. After all that time, it's still amazing to me to see this big dude that you know has a load of strength and power in him tap and adjust with such finesse to move things just a few thousandths of an inch. Then, after those adjustments, take something that is either a rough lump of metal or a damaged part that most would trash and replace, and he gives it a new life... Awesome. I love these videos.

Ah, the sweet sound of Adam doing manual machining!!🎉 I think that the majority of your viewers enjoy watching you, exercise your exceptional,manual machining skills.

Liking the old format again, simple machine work, special circumastances and how to handle them

I always love the care you put into dialing these things in. Beyond the skill, it's like... 'Good enough' isn't good enough, you insist on doing it right.

man I love the odd job type videos. I think it’s cool that people keep this and that going by just fixing what’s broken

As always with Adam, brilliant setup precision!

Fully expected you to face the casting and make an indicator band on the OD while it was in the lathe. Just in case there is an issue latter.

I am not a machinist in any way, shape, or form. I just enjoy watching machinist videos on YouTube. For me, it's cathartic, satisfying, and relaxing to watch items be revealed from raw materials. I think I saw others ask this: Once you had the housing indicated and locked-down and the threads cut... why would you not just face the housing while it's already dialed-in...? and maybe hit the OD for a bit as well just to give a place for indicating if ever needed again...? This is not a critique, it's a truly novice question.

Смотрю все ваши ролики.Культура производства на высшем уровне!!Ваша мастерская ,просто мечта !!

Love these little rescue jobs, Glad to have found @CuttingEdgeEngineering for a new take on OG Abom giant scale jobs. Thank you Adam for the content.

You should start classes in manual machineing. Because your awsome, i'm 70 and teaching myself by watching your craftsmanship and teaching skills. Keep up the good work!

Liking the old format again, much better than that CNC stuff.

Rather see the manual LATHE Procedure!!😁 Great job as always 👍

Difficult work, well done. Well filmed, edited and presented. Scratch cut, verifying the thread..... A suggestion learned from a Welsh toolmaker, Ades Workshop... Engage the half nut, turn the chuck manually and watch the DRO....

You're such a poet sometimes. Like feeling wistful when you take the piece out of the chuck after all the work it took you to put it in there. Seriously though, I really don't know anything about machining but I really do enjoy watching your stuff. You're really focused and I get it, you have to do the same thing the same way every time to keep getting the same result. You also have a way of making me think that all I need is a bunch of machines and I could actually be a machinist. I mean that as a compliment to you, as a machinist and a video creator

I don't know anything about machine shops but I love watching your work you are awesome very good at what you do thank you my brother❤❤
