The last post discovered the Y axis ram problems. In this post I explain how the aligment problems were (partially) solved. This is the result of a long journey through geometry and aligment testing, scraping learning and lots of patience.
The first tests done when machine arrived at the workshop discovered an issue on the geometry of the ram —Y axis—. The ram has a sensible play in some positions that can be measured when moving it on the Y axis. This will be one of the most interesting problems to repair during this rebuilding.
In this post I talk about the maintenance of the Schaublin 13 table feed gearbox. It is easy to identify because it protrudes the back of the machine in an unusual way.
In this post I show the maintenance of the Schaublin 13 Reeves drive. Together with the main gearbox, it constitutes the milling machine power drive. You will see how I dismantle, clean, examine and service it.
Long time ago I bought a Schaublin 13 milling machine to Peter at Veltman Machines. This was to replace my Cincinatti Chomienne FP30. The machine remained stored for many months and finally it arrived the time to face its refurbishing.
In this post I face the service of the motors and rework the electrical conducts.
In this post I show the result of carrying a sequence of tests to the rebuild Wörner drilling press to check its accuracy. I took an Aciera 10 drilling machine inspection chart as a reference. Both machines are of similar size and Aciera quality is second to none.
