    Dear Sir Robrenz, I am Abay from Ethiopia. First of all, I thank you in advance for taking your precious time to consider my request. Could you please assist me in order to rectify 'ZANROSSO 1500Y Cylinder Block and Head Resurfacer Machine, which is giving a hyperbola surface finish. Deviation ranging 0.15/.1 mm. I couldn't even find the manual. Previously, four times other Technicians have tried to solve the problem but nothing pays off yet. Now it's my responsibility to bring the machine to life and before I attempt to start working on the Resurfacer , I humbly seek assistance. Thank you so much. I am also addressing this to anyone who come across to this comment of mine.

      @@ROBRENZ Thank you for the reply. I meant which type of steel would be the best for this - for a 25mm linear shaft McMaster has 1055, 1566 Carbon Steels, 52100 Alloy Steel, and 420 Stainless Steel. I'd guess that the 1566 would be the best because it seems to have the highest hardness and also the best straightness tolerance and surface smoothness ratings. Probably I am just splitting hairs here and they are all better than the original though.

    6 jaw chucks inherently have more deflection due to the fact there is less material between jaws. This is why they are inherently more fragile than an 3 jaw. 6 jaw chuck also have the problem of the jaws not making contact with round work, unless the round to be held is ground absolutely round only a few of the 6 jaws will make contact with the round. Overall grip force is distributed over 6 jaws which is lower overall compared to a 3 jaw chuck or more so with a 4 jaw chuck. 6 jaw chucks work best on tubing that can slightly deform to conform to the gripping forces from the 6 jaws. 3 jaw chucks are inherently self compensating for slight out of round work and why 3 jaw chucks have more holding power than a 6 jaw on round bar with less chatter far fewer issues with holding round bar/work than any 6 jaw chuck. 3 jaw chuck are inherently more rigid due to the larger amount of material between jaws, this also make them far more abuse tolerant than any 6 jaw chuck. 4 jaw chucks have the highest holding power with the ability to hold non-road shapes and ability to be adjusted to very small amounts of runout. Grinding chuck jaws can be a good thing, limits are the reground or recut jaws are only truly round at the diameter they are cut or ground at. This means the rounds to be held that are not very close or identical to the cut or ground diameter will not seat properly into the radii cut or ground into the chuck jaws. Better results can be had by using a collet. Once the first cut has been made chuck runout will be essentially negated, or why small amounts of chuck runout is not relevant unless the precision part must be re-chucked for further work to be done. In specific cases like this a 4 jaw chuck is the chuck of choice for many reasons. Or making a set of soft jaws specific to the size of the round to be held as exampled in this HAAS video.. This is extremely common practice in modern cnc or similar lathe work. ua-cam.com/video/Tafx7nOZl38/v-deo.html

    Interesting fact is that a chuck will effectively always lift the part a bit clear from the stop(s). It's repeatable to a high degree so it does not have to be an issue but it's good to know if you have a part with tight axial tolerances

      @@ROBRENZ Ah yes, you are right. I am learning a lot in my new job as a CAM programmer and CNC lathe operator. Two Okuma machines, a small one and a big one. Actually I was using an adjustable material stop in the spindle for a certain operation when it became apparent that, even though the shafts were accurately made to length on the mill (as well as centers drilled) for this second operation it would be preferable to use a front stop because it is the main reference for that operation. But, I don't want to be pushing against the turret so I think I'll need a (heavy) spring loaded stop. Probably not a unique solution to this problem.

    Hi Robin, excellent material, thank you! I have a home hobby shop and I need to replace the spindle bearings on my HLV-H, would like your advice. I'm thinking to use sealed bearings (correct grease, correct amount of grease, protected from dirt especially for the rear bearing) but would they run too hot? How much preload would you recommend for this application? It looks like location of the spindle cartridge is by the front flange and the taper pin, is that correct? So remove the taper pin and pulley/spindle nut and the cartridge comes out the front? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Those are some very interesting mods. You are very meticulious and put alot of thought into your work. I have used a Deckel grinder for many, many years and would have a lot of trouble adapting the shaft stop being moved from the left position over to the right side. Many things that I would grind, I had to use two hands and adjust the stop on the fly while grinding. So in order for your system to work for me, I would now be moving the tool in and out or rotating it with my left hand rather than my right. This would not be ok with my brain lol. I hope it works for you. Thanks for the video. You explain yourself very well. It was a pleasure to listen. No disrespect to all you guys buying these clone grinders but if you used the Actual "Deckel" brand grinders all your years in the trade, then try one of the clones you would likely be very dissatisfied with the feel and function of the clone. I just bought a used Dekel brand grinder very cheap from a local shop who was closing. The tool holder to the main shaft was siezed up and took some work to free up, then I took it all apart, cleaned it and reasembled it. Nothing needed modifying or replacing and now it works perfectly. The Deckel brand grinder is a very high quality grinder that will last a lifetime with som simple maintenance.

    Watching this for at least the third time. Received a TMX six jaw chuck for our Hardinge lathes at work yesterday and was disappointed to find that it is just about as much a chuck 'kit' as the Shars chuck, but at multiples of the price. The quality of the deburring especially is shockingly poor - raised edges around pretty much every hole, very uneven chamfers on holes, not to mention dents in the back plate face that bears on the chuck body from where somebody tightened the two together with chips stuck in between. The upside is that I had a great excuse to tear it down, and since I have to modify an adapter plate for it anyway I might as well give it a bit of the Robrenz treatment while I'm at it. If only I had that beautiful rotary grinding setup or a dozen or so fewer open projects so I could think about making one.
