Is that a left handed reamer or where you accidentally spinning it counter clockwise? I just love the different ways manufacturers, re-manufacturers and mechanics deal with bores. Caterpillar had a tool group for boring 3208 and similar blocks using a bar and lathe bit and power feed device. Before my time, Cummins had huge one piece reamers for correcting bores. Still got the manual somewhere.
I've done the same process for king pins. Im sure theres a hone material out there that can cope with mag, probably diamond with a certain type of fluid, but then you pretty much have to set the hone up just for mag which would be expensive.
Nice tool and well explained, but that's not really a power driven single cutter line boring machine. It is an accurate manual align reaming operation, while it achieves a similar result, its pure align reaming, not line or tunnel boring in the true sense.
Yeahhhhhh true, but that’s just not how these are done. There’s maybe half a dozen places on the planet that can do these Mag Porsche cases correctly. Scary but true
True. But I've never seen this. And I wonder if he has come backs because it's not computer controlled accurate. Old school styles ay ! Cheers from New Zealand
Thats BS there's thousands of shops that can do this job. Magnesium isn't as hard as metals like titanium yet there's plenty of shops that machine titanium every day. @Selmerpilot
@@shanerorko8076 absolutely positively not with Porsche magnesium nor aluminum cases for that matter. Too many specialized tools required. Been working on these things for 20+ years, there's maybe 3 shops in the US with the best of them by far being Ollie's engineering. World famous.
@Selmerpilot so you're trying to tell me that someone like Titans of CNC that build titanium and magnesium parts for the aerospace industry couldn't make a few holes round? Get a grip.
