New-to-me Mill - Schaublin 13

A nice Schaublin 13 fell into my lap -- hit the spot. This is a short overview / first impressions / clean-up, that sort of thing.

Always a good day when a random, old ToT video Ive watched half a dozen times gets recommended.

Well at least 3.5 years of searching hard.

With the dedication and patience you showed to bring this tool back into service you deserve a good run. Well done.

New guy just working through your back catalog. It’s fun knowing some of the things you have done to this new arrival. Really enjoying this trip. Love your channel. Never did much machine shop work small bench lathe cleaning up brazing done on small spools that we replaced the tube that split with seamless tubing which came into the shop as a side project that anybody that ended a job and ended up in the shop for a few day just jumped on the never ending boxes of spools that cane into our shop from all of the wire and cable manufacturers in New England. We had a shop made water cooled TIG welder with a flex head that was like using a thick pencil. We seemed to use it only on Stainless Steel. Root pass was done without filler rod just welded the two parts together. Then run a second pass with filler rod. All pipe welding. This was back in late 1960’s. Company rule always had to weld uphill. 6011 rod for most everything we welded. Except high pressure stuff then it was 7018 Low Hydrogen wire. I’m a retired old man now bedridden who rambles on and on. Sorry. Love this channel. Thanks.

The 6v outlets are for 6v stuff.

The difference in the confidence in Tony's voice now and then is amazing

Hey Tony Im thinking about getting into the mill game, What brands can you recommend? Id like to mill my own flour

[StefanGotteswinter]

Oh you dirty... :D
Nice! As much as I love the Fp1 the Schaublin 13 is a superior machine! Congratulations for that machine!

[andrewwilson]

Wow, you now the proud owner of probably one of the nicest mills ever made. I used one in previous machine shop and it was a delight to use.

[tompuckett]

REALLY NICE!!!! 50+ years ago I worked as a coldheading tool maker. It was a German co. here in the states. We were fortunate to have mostly machines from Europe, mostly Swiss and French machines. Our shaublins were speed lathes used for polishing carbide dies to a mirror finish. These machines had 2 speed switch. Had 8 machines running at 3200 rpm 18 hours a day. The local shaublin repairman was at the factory at least every month replacing bearings in a couple of lathes. They were the best lathes until we got the first Hardinge DV-59 speed lathes. Then it was time to start retiring the old Swiss machines.

If you send me the BL number I can tell you what year it was made. I might also be able to find out who the machine was supplied to. David

[Gottenhimfella]

What a score! Really happy for you - nice to see wonderful machines like that falling into the right hands.

[LordOfTamarac]

I don't know how you aren't one of the big maker channels on YouTube, your videos are awesome!

[SwitchAndLever]

I've only had experience with a Schaublin lathe, but man was that well built. It looks like this is right up there in quality. I'm a bit jealous to tell you the truth! Although, I'm holding out for a nice Aciera mill to rear its head at the right time.

Dammit, I like watching machines get cleaned.

Hi Tony,
My first comment to your channel. I just love the way you present the story. Thank you for doing it.
Now to the mill - after owning it for 3 years now I guess you start to undetstand what kind of a gem got stuck in your workshop.
A happy birthday video maybe?

[kengamble]

I dearly love to see things like this, when someone makes a great find of a good machine and brings it back to life !
GOOD ON YOU SIR ! I have just recently found your channel and love the content, so please keep them coming !
Subed and looking at the rest of your videos.
Thanks for sharing and take care.

[robertostermiller]

Tony, you do some of the best videos I've seen. Your humor is spot on. Keep up the good work and I hope this mill works out for you. Thanks, Bob O. out!

[Kettletrigger]

Ooooh, you lucky so-and-so. Next week we're gonna find out that you've traded an old lawnmower and $27 to your neighbor for the Hardinge HLV-H he's had rotting away in his basement...
