Those grub screws appear designed to push the magnet cartridges up up against the bottom surface, and stop them rattling around, then release them to remove for ease of cleaning.
There needs to be an air gap so that there is magnetic force only pulling on the iron in the solution. If the magnets are touching the pan, then it would magnetize the entire pan, and iron would stick to the walls and everything, defeating the purpose of settling the iron on the bottom.
Exactly right. Steve itt be a pain in the ass cleaning that if you stick them directly to the tub. The air gap and being encased in aluminum keep the tub from magnetizing and allow the material to settle
This brought back some memories for me from nearly 20yr ago when I was involved in a similar situation. I was there to install the machine but the riggers were running late and hadn't even got the machine in the shop yet which ended up being a good thing because the machine was to wide to fit thru the doors or be picked up the side. It was decided the best course of action was to remove one of the side sections of the sheet metal. The similarities didn't end there though as the customer was John Force Racing.
Rare earth magnets are not to be messed with. Those things have enough power to crush fingers and hurt you. They will stick to steel and you will not get them apart. I worked with magnets used in rotery and linear motors.
If those had been neodymium magnets of that size, thing would have been very different. And speaking of such, I find them hilarious and very entertaining. I have a great collection of crazy magnets, including some that can pick up 900 lbs.
My son always tells me I’m so smart that I’m stupid. My guess would be that those magnets are the way they are so you can easily remove them and then you can clean the coolant tank without disturbing the debris, remove the magnets and gently, and then you can clean the debris from the bottom of the cooling tank without steering it all up
I would guess it's because he wants to be the one responsible if anything were to go wrong with the machine. He trusts them with $50k engines but not $250k CNC machines 😂
Every successful smaller development type company I've worked for (I'm an engineer), the owners and/or upper management are extremely technically proficient and not afraid to get their hands dirty. They're usually the ones who did all the work before more employees joined.
In your machine hone, that's a coolant settling tank, it's the first step before all the filters and stuff... They do that so that it saves your filters and stuff :) It should be a weekly activity to dredge the tank, drain the air tanks in the cnc, check all your lube points for anything manual and check your lube tanks. For your magnet plate, do yourself a favour and put them into a plastic bag, the aluminium is for encapsulation, so you don't end up with crap permanently stuck to them... Adding the plastic will make 100% sure.
@@matthewriggle4706 Someone at HAAS getting fired every day til it was fixed! I think Tom said it was $2 million but no one could get the stupid thing to work like it was supposed to.
@@--_DJ_-- He had it onsite for nearly a year, and there was something about the two different systems in the unit that they didn't communicate well, and couldn't make the parts he bought it for. I don't think he ever gave a real technical explanation though.
@@justinm4323 Hass sold Tom Bailey a lemon; why did they discontinue that model? and Tom didn't know what he was doing either, and if they are going to convert the machine to a normal EC-1600ZT, it's because clearly Hass's experiment didn't work.
It's so much easier when installing concrete bolts or wedge anchors to drill all the way through the slab, that way when you move whatever it is, just hammer the bolts down and fill the hole.
I always wondered what happened to Tom's Haas Machine, now I know. Hopefully you have better luck with it than he did. Will be watching out for all the crazy stuff you build with this monster :D
Damn that thing is absolutely massive. Looks like all machining of an SMX is now going to be in house… From a block of aluminum for the block, to a block lol. As well as the heads and all! Wow! Unreal! 👍🤘
I was taught when installing anchor bolts to drill completely through the slab. So when you need to remove the anchors you simply drive them down into the floor.
I wish the old Blanchard grinders I run had a good way to clean out like the hone. Cleaning those things are a pain and usually involves about a dozen 5 gal buckets of cast iron waste, per machine.
I had a Bridgeport on the Hilo once about 22 years ago and had to stop in the middle of what I was doing to explain to 3 other grow men why I can't have them make sure it didn't slide off the forks. That's when I decided I need to find a job where I worked alone.
A Haas horizontal... I hope you have better luck with it than my friends have had with theirs! I ran Mori Seiki horizontal pallet changer machines for a dozen years. Designed and built my own tombstones and modular tooling systems for them. We ran them HARD and they never broke. One good thing about that Haas: at least it's not a Makino! We had a Makino horizontal pallet changer machine and it was a complete POS. It spent more time broken than making chips, and eventually the factory had to buy it back!
29:37 gotta have machine each with Dewey fixing the machine with some duct tape, Dewey is the most amazing doggo. I also cannot wait to see what’s coming for this new season, great content and amazing new toys.
Just the owner doing maintenance, cleaning the floor, down and dirty work. That’s a real shop and example for young people to learn from. Love the videos guys
Those look like the magnets we used to hang off the back of the forklift in the yard of the construction company I worked for a long time ago. Forklift solid tires didn't care about nails and the magnet would help keep the trucks and trailers safe from punctures.
We had riggers drop a 4” boring mill back in 1990. They used under rated steel cables for crane rigging. Getting reimbursed for the machine and expenses was a chore.
The “Gargantual”. T- shirt cartoonish drawing of Boostmaster wagon with the huge Haas CNC sticking out the hood like a Ratfink grafic. “ Biggest Machine for Biggest Boost!”
I want to see an up close and in detail of the big wheel with all the different tooling on it! So damn awesome! These machines always amaze the hell out of me.
Upper left chest: "World Dominance" Back: photo images of the machines you gonna do it with. (Even laid out on a floormap of the shop and showing where thing like the wagon and the fox-body sit? But still, just a catalogue photo in each spot. )
Here's my thought by your own neodymium magnets large ones and then put them inside. Stainless steel sleeves or tubing. Possibly exhaust pipe so that the iron will stick to the outside of it instead of the magnet and then put them actually in with the coolant in the tank. That way you pick up the stainless steel tubing, pull the magnet out of it and all the filings fall off
There’s a company in Michigan called Ebco. They build, convert or upgrade filtration systems for grinders. They are the absolute best at what they do. You really need to contact them and have them come out so they can assess your filtration system. You really should have a paper filtration system so as the fluid comes off the part your honing, those fine metal particles get filtered through the paper. It’s kind of the same principle as a coffee pot. The water passes through the filter media but the particles get filtered through the paper. Those filters in the back of the machine should be your very last line of defense, not your main. You’ve got way too much metal going into your tank and into your filtration system.
SICK! I remember when the riggers brought our cnc (cabinet/wood working) it was amazing how every move was calculated and executed with precision. Communication is key!
Makes a change to see a man that works with such precision and accuracy smashing a door frame to make it bigger in feet and inches, you're a real star Steve.
Wow Awesome glad to see you bring the machine home where it belongs 😊 can't wait to see the first blocks done in your shop !!!!! Love your Channel keep up the Amazing Work!!!!!!
WOW 🥳 Congratulations on your new machine. Thanks for bringing us along on the move-in. Always fascinating and interesting to us gearheads and mechanically inclined.
congratulations on the new machine. should be a great addition to the shop to bring everything in house. I just got done wiring up to May 6th that were delivered to this machine shop I've been working at it was amazing to watch the riggers bring it into the building. you're using a 60000 lb forklift in it back wheels are just barely coming off the ground when they were setting it.
Awesome upgrade for your shop ! Lots of work and expense here. I hope you got the door and frame,etc. back together before it go too cold. Looking forward to seeing this in action. Thanks for the video .
Congratulations on adding another machine to your fleet! I sincerely hope this machine does everything you hope and more for you, Steve. A super episode! Cheers from Alberta, Canada
That is a unit....I could inly imagine the cost plus all the cutting tools. Steve that machine screems hard work pays off....or great credit. Congratulations either way.
This is very cool .... happy for ya'. I worked at an automated manufacturing systems company in Bridgman, MI, and the way the guys moved the big stuff with air skates (about the size of a car scale (one wheel). You could move multi-ton (20-30 tons) systems with ease. With that new Haas1600-H beast, you may very well be honing 5,000 engines before your know it. It's cool to watch you grow over the years.
So that's Bailey's old Haas billet block machine he could't get to work properly eh. I will say it's a monster for sure. I hope it works out for you Steve. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Cheers!
Save some of the iron grindings, rinse & dry them to use as an additive to epoxy, when you need so way strong epoxy. Keep additive to 10-20%, by volume. Check the price of steel or aluminum based epoxy at MSC or McMaster-Carr & you'll see why I keep unmixed grindings. Saw a video awhile back about using a metal based epoxy to tram a mill; it's also used a filler for uneven floors for setting &/or leveling equipment.
It’s impressive to watch equipment movers and the ways they have to modify their equipment to handle the weights they can move in the smallest possible fork trucks possible
All the filter cleaning gives me PTSD from when I started working in a tool and die shop, adding oil to all the mills, monthly cleaning the filters of the massive vacuum for the surface grinders and the worst, yearly cleaning the dielectric fluid for the EDM machines...
Steve and everyone involved, especially Dewey, Great work! can't wait to see this beast in action! Steve how about a competition to name it? No prizes required, as seeing the name someone suggests on it would be the prize.
Try and get the oil off the top of your coolant. I use oil absorbing pads, or shop rags to pull that top layer of oil off the coolant. I would do this every few days.
Should have used a pillow case inside the 5 gallon bucket to put the iron shavings in. Then when you pull the pillowcase out you can recover that coolant. Pillowcase acts like a crude filter.
Steve yo so imagine that trey full 10 were filled aluminum billet block material. Daily at least 10 metal trash 5ft x 7ft bins full to the top .. I machined for design works here in MA. We made parts for electric city buses , billet cooling components.. Old man got rich his patent BP Corp contracts
With this machine - Create the NEW product line for coming technology - The electric motor mod - Entirely NEW product line - Now know as Steve Morris Motors - The electric motor evolution begins
