Well guys,
I’m making kinda a list of items that we need to tackle.
Colchester lathe known maintenance items:
Look at compound?
Change oil
Change the shifter o-ring
Shark lathe
Compound issue-binding
Change oil
Bridgeport
Replace power down feed-have the parts on hand
Tighten the Bridgeport return quill spring
Other maintenance issues?
Plastics dust collector
Replace 200mfd start cap
Finish the last portion of the wall
Please feel free to add to the list
What’s the status of the UV loop on the HAAS? Does it still need replacement/repair?
Replaced that last week.
the rattling bearing on the Bridgeport spindle, how hard is that to replace?
Its something we would have to look closer at to see exactly where the noise is coming from. The spindle bearings aren’t too bad or expensive. It maybe the CV pulley/belt making the noise too
For those who maybe wondering, The maintenance day is OCTOBER 23rd, not September… The months have gotten away from me.
Weren’t we missing some kind of handle or lever on the Bridgeport?
Yes, we ordered the replacement parts & they were received yesterday.
Another item is change the cold saw gear oil
I saw Freddy do that once, and I’m going to say “not it” lol.
Took some time to wrangle all the materials together.
On the cart we have 12 gallons of Mobil DTE 24 ultra (about a half gallon of regular 24 DTE), o-rings for the colchester, Shark compound bolt, capacitor for the dust collector & gloves.
Thank you all for showing up. What a great turn out.
Thank you

The tasks that were completed
Bridgeport quill power feed speed selector, Bridgeport Quill return spring.
Shark Lathe; oil change, compound cleaned up/smoothed up action
Colchester, well a little less successful on it. We need to put the compound back together, replace the o-ring for the shifter, finish changing the oil
Sherline mill has light mounted over them now.
The wall/safety partition completed for Machine Shop
Some straitening up of the teachers cabinet
Plastics needs a replacement run cap, not start cap as initially thought.
Plastics equipment is now linked to the Wiki.
Not that thats “IT” that was done, but there was a lot of progress today. Again thank you all.
