Hello,
I am in Switzerland and I bought this Jones Shipman 540 plane grinder from a machine tool overhaul shop which closed following the death of the boss, it was being overhauled and seemed finished as it is repainted and only electricity seemed to stay plugged in.
With the transport she lost some oil and I made the supplement (3Litres) with VG46 with a little bit of oil to dilute it.
I am counting on doing a complete oil change and leaving with new oil once I have confirmed that it is working properly.
When I put it on, nothing moves, if I force the cylinder rod a little, it advances to the right in spurts, but it does not come back to the left, I have to force my hand a lot to do so. come back, video:
Jones Shipman 540 problems - YouTube
The cylinder bars are slightly twisted during disassembly, irregularly, so they can rub on the outlet joints, and if I turn the whole thing in a different way, can it only come from there?
It would seem surprising to me that these simple friction on the joints block the machine because the table is not even fixed, so you would have to add its weight + the weight of the magnetic table + the weight of the part in a working situation ...
I re-sealed this set with standard metric gaskets from my stock.
I've untwisted the cylinder bars as eye-catching as possible and I'm thinking of pliers on the lathe, see buying 3/8 ground bar and threading the ends (and going from BSF to BSW).
Best regards.
Michael.
