A list of interesting resources around the net about Schaublin 13 milling machines. Permanent work in progress 😄.
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.
I made a solid platform from welded steel profiles to allow the Klaiber to be carried by a manual pallet truck. I left some images just for others inspiration 😄.
During the last months I’ve been helping Luke Rickert —of Elisenberg Engineering— to move forward a foundry project. I had a limited experience on foundry business that comes from the rebuilding of a cabinet saw and Luke’s project became a really interesting experience.
All begins when Luke asked me about foundries in Catalonia. He currently lives in southern France and he is really close to catalan speaking lands.
Old mechanical sewing machines are a true gift: robust, nice, effective and useful. Refurbishing them is, however, not so easy. Screws, particulary, are most of them made following old norms or simply following no norms. This is the story of a Singer sewing machine screw.
This is a compilation of interesting sites and documents around Internet about Boley Leinen LZ4 lathes series.
Some time ago I found somewhere a very interesting Deckel technical notice about how to work with the slotting head on an universal milling machine. I guess it could be of general interest and thus I share it:
