Bringing a 70s Lathe Back to Life: The Finale

This is Part 2, the FINAL chapter, of my 1970s Fuxin 0618A bench lathe restoration series. In Part 1, we completely disassembled this rusty relic. Now, it's time to bring it back to life, better than ever. This was one of my most challenging projects yet. Every component required meticulous work: everything underwent ultrasonic cleaning, derusting, paint stripping, and some parts were even media blasted. I used body filler to restore the castings to their original contours, applied a fresh coat of paint, and then faced the biggest hurdle: the missing parts. Some parts I could source, but for the ones I couldn't find anywhere, I had to make them myself on other machines. This video documents the entire journey from a pile of cleaned parts to a fully functional, precision lathe.
