How To Rebuild Broken Axle Shaft || Amazing Welding & Machining Technique 

Pretty creative chucking that shaft up in the lathe to weld it. I wouldn't have thought of that. For similar shaft repairs, you might want to wrap an empty aluminum can around the shaft close to the weld joint to keep the spatter beads off the shaft.

Good idea but should have clamped some L stock to both axel's then spot welded and check for alignment, then stick back in lathe.

My uncle used to modify axles on his lathe, but he never welded them solid until he made sure there was no runout. He would tack it together, then he would turn the lathe chuck , tapping it with a hammer to straighten them. When he had it close, he would make precise measurements before completing the weld. I didn't see a rotary ground on this lathe, but they COULD have used one.

A nice piece of work, Sir.

5:05 holy moly look at that run out! The truck will vibrate your false teeth out 😂

I notice the shaft from the point of the welding it wasn't set straight enough it was unbalance.

A little coolant on that cut would stop the squealing.

Hope they get the bent side of the rim offset to that wobble

Which tool tip is used for turning of axle shaft

Pls what type of electrode did you use eg cast electrode, stainless electrode or steel or Iron electrode

Eletroda the name pliese

Mejor hubiera echo rosca centro y al otro la la punta tornillo para aclanje y listo a soldar 😂

what kind of rods are used to weld that?

Когда сварил Центробежност👎 пропал!!

Two steady rests, one at each end would have increased the concentricity.

que tipo de electrodo se utiliza ? alguien que me escriban porfavor

At least he knocked off all the welding spatter so it wouldn't be out of balance 🤣

TIG WELD WOULD HAVE CREATED LESS BENDING

👍

That axle may Work for a Time, but it was Bent on the long end Piece BigTime.. Watch as it Jumps Up and Down towards the Left while Turning Fast.. NOT GOOD

The procedures for repairing a floating axle are well established. I'm not a machinist, but I am a welder and I know how this should be repaired. The final product looks rather good, but they had a lot of chatter on the carbide on the lathe which caused the rough finish.

No me soldes arriba del torno por el amor de jebus:V

Where was the ground connected?holy cow the horrible

Eso no sirve.

This ain't gonna work because they use a heat treated steel to make axles and welding it with regular metal won't help at all

Me sad

Falto centrar bien

That will break first clutch release
