Love the smell of burnt lock tight in the morning 😂

The sound effects for this one are great. I figured Stefan would be a great singer… I wanna sample all the yoink doing and eeeks I love it.

I love old obsolete tool accessories!

Nice! 2 things Ive kicked myself for not buying at the time - high speed head for my Maho MH700 and a Wohlhaupter UPA2 Both items were quite affordable. Cheers👍

Looking forward to seeing this in use. 👍🏻 With all the accessories you're going to need another mill😉

Nicely done Stefan! Looking forward to seeing how the preload adjustment is accomplished on this spindle. I guess I better start cleaning my shop for next year :) ATB, Robin

Hey Stefan, if compressing the bench wood is an issue, drill four 10mm holes in the periphery of the plate seat on the wood itself and fill it with jb weld epoxy and you'll have four wood embedded 10mm posts that will counter the vise/plate compression.

Nice, incredibel machine!

How are you referencing the 1st facing cut on the bottom of the baseplate? Is the reference surface simply the painted top surface of the plate?

Wow

Jewelry for real men! Even though I don’t have the resources or “ permission “ for such a quality item, every time you dissect a Deckel I realize why you are so high on them. It’s fascinating to see engineers who do things right, and serviceable. In this era of disposable everything it is refreshing to see extraordinary examples of “ old school “ thought. As you don’t know the actual service time of this specific item, it’s hard to judge whether in daily production use if it would be so pristine, but with suggested maintenance I’m sure that it would be similar due to the outstanding build quality. Thanks for the jewelry show and I am on hold for the next segment. 🤓

Inner race directly ground into the shaft, had the same (problem) on my Studer SFM 500. Why would they do that? Makes it impossible to replace the bearings, in my case there was pitting due to corrosion on the shaft, ended up regrinding the shaft to take standard AC bearings. All OK with TIR < 0,002mm but would have much rather replaced with original bearings.

As usual, excellent episode. Also as usual, machines and things I can not get nor can I find. Which leads to have to seek out therapy and deal with issues of insecurity. Kepp up making my life horrible and I look forward to your next installment. Keep up the great work your Deckle episodes are wonderful.

Stefan Gotteswinter is by design, "Sub-worthy" Thank you for the video. I got my gearhead itch scratched (no charge for the visual). Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House On the Left (but call before stopping by:)

Thanks Stefan, helps a lot!

Hey Stefan, yet another great video! I would like you to do a tailstock/air hose hanger video, on your new lathe. A proper alignment and all of the uses for it. I know we don't see you use it much, and there's a million videos on it all ready, but I would consider your video going to the source. Thank you.

"It's not rocket science." No, it's rocket _surgery_ .

I use tin foil in my moter cycle engine rebuilding to works to keep the mice out

An entertaining shaped part, love it, thanks Stefan. That vice looks quite good for a Chinese import, another kit project. Thanks for sharing

I love videos like these. It’s always a treat to see a tear down of something that obviously had a lot of thought put into it. A complex machine for sure, but not complicated. Thanks, Stefan!

For milling the pipe jaws I would have used adjustable parallel under the milled and ground jaws. I also would have been proud of that setup... :) Lovely video as always!

A German person just taught this American a new use of the English word "Banana" - I never knew that it could be a verb!

Nice example of how to work with quality machines. I was a bit surprised by the integrated bearing races but they do save on overall spindle diameter. The high-speed head for the Schaublin 13 is just a little bit smaller :)

I have the older 60s lever controlled fp1. Is that head have the same design?

And, so if the bearings go bad, dirt or abrasive material gets into the shaft basically the whole hub hoes bad, and needs replacement...instead of just the bearing...Surprised to see that kind of design....why was it done like that?

You say Deckel, I think Dunkel. 🍺

"balls and the ball cage" Lol

You can make a special section for your channel and do a collaboration w/ This Old Tony You can name it “Tin Hat Tony” and all the great uses for tinfoil hats after they are no longer needed for protecting your clean parts. *I would have suggested you give it a go but I couldn’t get the title to sound right. … I mean Tin Hat Tony just rolls off your tongue so effortlessly and picturing his “time machine” video editing gimmicks and him wearing a tinfoil cap 😂

In my opinion, this head is asking for a higher power motor coupled with a VFD. For the small parts you seem to do the high speed head could just stay on the whole time. With the VFD you would half or one third the number of belt speed changes. Thanks for sharing the internals of this spindal, always interesting for us machinery geeks.

I see no reason why those jaws needed to be ground anywhere but the face to get rid of the “teeth”. As he says, it’s a bench vise. It doesn’t matter in the least. Countersinks, counterbores. Why? If this were for a milling vise I would do that too, but it’s not. The work won’t be any better for all this. It’s just all too anal. As far as the wood counter goes. It won’t be crushed as the area of both the plate and the bottom of the vise is great enough to spread the pressure over a large enough surface on both sides, that the compressive resistance of the wood will be higher than the force generated by four 8mm screws.

Stefan, I hope you didn't lose the two small shims that were in the lock ring on the nose of the spindle. You can see them drop under the spindle when you removed the clamp... Cheers from downunder... 🙂

I was here for the birth of a tagline! Stefan Gotteswinter: It's Spindle Science!

Really interesting project, I'm glad you showed in detail how the bearings work. The details in the books and example applications for some of these systems was a great addition. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. It would be really interesting to hear you compare/contrast the two heads you have and what each is better suited to over the other. It would be really interesting to see you tackle the sharp internal corners, it's hard for me to wrap my head around how that works. I can't pretend it is the same, but I recently got a used 4 jaw chuck that had very limited use, but was pretty dirty. There is a lot of satisfaction to take apart a nice tool, clean it up, and reassemble it into something satisfyingly functional. I have more appreciation for how much work some of your restorations must have taken. I've seen well maintained engines with a lot of miles retain their cross hatching. I think they way they it holds a film of oil tremendously reduces wear. If this was a well cared for machine, I would have no trouble believing that it could have many hours of use, but held up very well as a result of being a machine of excellent quality receiving good maintenance. Thanks again for taking the time to share these projects. These really encourage folks like me to try something that might otherwise be intimidating.

Stefan, I love your videos and I appreciate that you record them in English even though it isn’t your native language. Thank you. At 27:00 you are showing us a poorly installed bearing and you use the word crooked. I have always heard that word pronounced Crook-Ed. The ed is pronounced like a man's name Ed (Edward). I only mention this because every machinist I've met strives for perfection, so please don’t infer this as an insult. Thanks again.

Fantastically entertaining! PLEASE, someone ship Stefan a Gorton! 😂 Man, German engineering is spectacular, but it’s unfamiliar - vermin, dust, dried lubrication, and surface pitting I have experience with. I’d LOVE to clean my two Gorton high speed spindles, but I lack the documentation, skills, and confidence to do so!

Out of curiosity, why do you have the preference for the Deckel mill over other makes? I ask because there is a Deckel up for sale in my area.

I feel you're not the first person inside that head and whomever was in there before you, didn't tighten things the right way. When i took mine apart (almost a NOS part), everything came apart by hand and medium force. 29:43 there's a Danish post (i can't find it anymore, it was probably from the late 00's by reckoning) where a machinist ground that section off, same as with the sleeve and used a Japanese tapered bearing set. Hist unit was .... carnage. That's one word to describe it. I don't remember much beyond that, other than the fact that he had painted the unit (or it was painted before hand, but it's a clue for those looking for this forum post) in a burgundy color. edit: another thing that i remembered, he ground the bearings off in stages. I think he said something like, letting the metal rest between grinding sessions. Dunno... how effective that is. I've never heard of anything of this, but i'm pretty sure that's what he said (my Danish is bottom tier).

My god, grinding ball bearing races onto a shaft, thats such a deckel thing to do. Insane 😅

7:15 i just tape mine. I've a bunch of pieces in a big plastic bag, kinda like a shim kit. A bit of paper tape and they're sturdy as.

I really enjoy these teardown videos. Thanks for sharing.

30:50 It's German engineering. Exactly _why_ everything German must be complicated I don't know, but it isn't out of character.

27:00 In English " Crooked" is ponounced " crook-ed".

"It's spindle science.." love it.

Hi Stefan, do you have any idea how much it should cost me to have the spindle of my FP1 rebuild?

good video stefan..thanks for your time

Thanks for the video. I decided recently to dsmantle my FP1 vertical head and horizontal spindle to carry out the clean and regrease on the basis of not knowing if it had ever been done. I was intrigued to see the 'integral' Deckel races for the needles and ball bearings! Thankfully, all are in excellent condition except for one slightly pitted flat thrust race that I got surface ground! Keeping watch on the horizontal spindle is worthwhile, as I noticed lubricating oil contaminates the Kluber grease! Kind regards!

Good to see all this teardown in detail and learning what is inside.See you in part two.Thank you,Stefan-

I’ve got a video fault just after 1:15 is it just me😢

Hi - excellent detailed look inside your head. Sorry, I mean milling head. Looks like you scored a bery nice unit with hardly any wear. Good to get the rodent crap out of there, but overall you made out well. There was a squirrel nest in the head of my mill when I got it. Edit: Also very interesting to see the solutions to complex machining geometries available pre-cnc and 5 axis. Absolutely ingenious solutions.

Ballbearing Blues!
