HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it.

@tantamounted 2 года назад

I didn't know a wire like that existed, so I looked it up with a quick web search. This five-conductor cable may have been used for powering mining equipment or other heavy industrial machinery, using a three-phase power system with both a neutral and a ground. Seems like this is a pretty standard type, several companies offer info pages for similar cables on their websites.

@nameman4166 2 года назад

@Theshizz667 2 года назад

It looks like either a 120 or 150mm^2 'four-core-and-earth' cable, and they are used for running 3-phase stuff like you said, or to run a large array of single-phase loads on one cable. If you keep going bigger the cores will become their own separate cables before long due to size and weight (I'd say this is near the limits of a 4C+E cable). The mains cables that supply buildings have gone up to 300 or 400mm in my experience and they definitely go a lot bigger than that.

@joshuawerner4376 2 года назад

Stuff like this runs shovels and draglines. Pulling it by hand sucks and large enough sections of it has to be dragged by pickups or support equipment. When it fails it usually blows up. Like molten copper spraying is all directions. If We've got thousands of feet of this stuff all over the mine site and lots of it that is waiting to be repaired or hauled off.

@steveaubinofangers7391 2 года назад

Soo many cables just like that run up 3 separate electrical runs in the bow tower in Calgary Alberta Canada. The outer copper shielded cables with the cork insulation have a much higher temperature and fire rating the the standard steel protection with rubber insulation. It's in towers as fire systems and any other safety systems like elevator power etc...

I enjoy watching your channel, and I love that your dogs are "Ingot" and "Bullion." For future reference, you can set the "tare" weight of your container before weighing the material so you don't have to try to keep all those loose items from falling on the floor. Alternately, you can place the empty container on the scale and "zero" the scale so it will ignore the container weight when weighing.

@erikkennedy 2 года назад

He usually does. I think putting the copper on the scale by itself was for dramatic effect.

@southaussiegarbo2054 2 года назад

Or have some containers to use with the tare weight written on them. E.g. a Scrap yard here has a container with T967 on it. Meaning it weighs 967kg

@Myth_Incarnate 2 года назад

I have to wonder what an archaeologist would say if they dug up your hoard there. Probably something like "We're not sure why this man hoarded all of these objects made of various metals and alloys, or why they were created. There's a possibility of some strong ritualistic purpose, as dating shows these objects were created over a span of 5 years with an almost clockwork-like punctuality suggesting a rigid 7-day schedule. Truly we can say this was a man of some importance, as the resources and effort required to create these objects - many of which are similar to artifacts found in other cultures - would be enormous. It is not beyond reason this man was a king among his people, to hoard such a wealth of rare and valuable resources that our forebears could have used to fight the machine uprising suggests one of no small influence."

Had to bend one end, tie a rope around it, smother the cable with grease and yank it through super narrow conduit to connect with the circuits outside the building. Once I saw the cable here, I had to click. It was a flashback to hard work. 😥

in my last project last year , someone screwed up royally and didn't check the cable sizing specs properly resulting in a flashover incident during commissioning. A total review revealed more than one system had wrongly sized cables , they were as thick as these. Result was 15km of brand new, just pulled cables had to be ripped out from all the trenches , ducts, some were buried and condemned as there was no way to take them out. Repull all cables through even longer length as they had to reroute. The lengths that could be recovered were sold as scrap for close close USD300k. Major FUBAR

I know there's not that many of us Arachnophobes, and spiders are basically an inevitability there, but I wanted to call out how you handle it in your videos. An unexpected eight-legged appearance can totally ruin a video for me and I really appreciate you putting in the extra work for the warnings. Happy New Year mate!

Hello bigstackD Casting from India, really fascinated by the effort you put into each and every process and it is so satisfying to see the end product along with the fun atmosphere you create in the middle. Good luck mate!

I'm surprised it has so little insulation.The ones we use here are twice as thick for the same amount of wiring inside.It has like more than an inch of solid cast plastic around the wires covered with a steel mesh and finally protected with a thick outer shell.

@fengshui3382 2 года назад

Low voltage - high Amps wire … insulation can be thinner then

@morningstar829 2 года назад

My wife looked at me today and said "If you got to be a make a wish kid what would you pick?" Just then your video popped up in my phone and I was like, "Vacation to Australia to cast something awesome with this guy.... and feed treats to his dogs." My wife frowned. Apparently my wish isnt big enough.

@anthonybohemier3882 2 года назад

well you can tell your wife it would be on my list too ! i would love to cast a copper key from goonies !

@YouTube_Handler 2 года назад

This is so cool. It’s insane how much metal we waste and how much you find “out in the wild”. It’s so satisfying to see you make it all in to beautiful, shiny, solid blocks! I wanted to ask if you wear a respirator when working and if there is danger in inhaling the metallic dust over time?

wonder what these cables were used in... 🤔 btw that boat load of copper looks magnificent🤤

@ranekeisenkralle8265 2 года назад

My guess would be transmission lines or something on that scale. Something with a lot of amps to it - likely enough to make the wires hum even without being wet.

@cyrusweigel901 2 года назад

Your channel is great. I look forward to your videos every week. Thanks for putting out great creative content for everyone to enjoy. I also love that you include your dogs in your videos. I saw you switch to a reciprocating saw from the grinder in this video and wondered if you have a cordless band saw? It might be a handy tool to have around if you don’t already own one. Just thought. Keep up the great work!

@edreusser4741 2 года назад

I would love to see what you could do with an induction furnace. It seems to me that since you could put the induction field in an airtight container and flush it with argon to keep oxides out this would allow casting without oxidation or exposure to the air.

@grantroberts7065 2 года назад

Just a thought but if you put the cable through the stripper twice (rotate it 180 degrees the second time) wouldn't the covering just fall off?

@kooper1683 2 года назад

It wouldn't cut the plastic coating twice, it would just crush it.

@ranekeisenkralle8265 2 года назад

Probably yes - which means all the loose stands of wiring would spill out all over his workbench. remember, wires are just twisted strands of metal to keep them somewhat flexible. As such he is saving himself some hassle and extra work by only making one cut.
