Fully Restoration Process JAPAN Antique KITAMURA Lathe // Restore and Repair Antique Old Lathe

Join me on an epic journey to restore a vintage Kitamura lathe to its former glory in Japan! This antique lathe has seen better days, but with some TLC and elbow grease, we can bring it back to life. From disassembly to reassembly, I'll take you through the entire process of refurbishing this beautiful machine. Get ready for a fascinating look at the art of restoration and the satisfaction of seeing a piece of history shine like new again.

This tool restoration focused on a Craftsman "Model KL-20B KITAMURA" metal-cutting lathe from 1979. The lathe was giving to me by a fan about a year ago. This specific lathe is quite small for a metal-cutting lathe and everything about it has been miniaturized compared to "normal-sized" machining lathes. These were marketed as a model-makers lathe or a hobbyist lathe.

After fully reassembled, I was able to get a pretty decent cut out of some brass stock that had, so I was pleased.
