I watch cee icweld on fire welding and more and this is the first time anyone has mentioned they only get a year out of the bushings. It is what it is I guess. Great video btw 👍
Just for kicks, I did a 'Line boring and Welding' search on RU-vid. It returned lots of OFW, lots of CEE, lots of SnowballEngineering and ICWeld. 4 best on the Tube!
Funny you mentioned the mess on the floor and the apprentice because I immediately thought the same thing. Finding good help these days is a real challenge. You do nice work sir, thanks for the videos.
You have some of the best content on RU-vid! One video every other day would not be too many! Hint, hint. Also, you might take a look at the clamps SnowballEngineering uses. I looked for them in the size he has but haven't located them yet. They are slick.
great WD-40 tip.......Pam cooking spray works in a pinch for anti-spatter..... do not know if it would be good enough to protect that precision ground bar....but it sure smells good....
I guess I live dangerously… I use a diamond wheel as a back for the sanding disc in tight spots where u ran stone. It works when it works. Anything to not use the stone wheel.
Hey folks! We need to spread the word and get Greg's subscriber count moved one decimal place to the right, so instead of 47.2k he would have 472k! Currently, I subscribe to over 140 channels and I drop a comment about @OFW every chance I get. If all 1.8k who have viewed this video did the same, @OFW would be getting the recognition he deserves!
@@OFW My pleasure. I am slowly working my way forward from your first video and being an old equipment mechanic, not a welder, I enjoy every minute. Also, I looked at your subscriber list and seeing as how we have similar interests, I think you might enjoy @PacificNorthwestHillbilly.
Greg, I guess I’m not understanding why the bushings are expected to last about a year. Like you mentioned, as long as they grease these “regularly”, which is an assumption in some cases. But even so, with as hard and thick a material, I’d be surprised to find this repair not last much longer even under some punishing abuse. Plus, and besides the point, this is a shitload of work an money too. And yeah, you do great work as always.
Greg, I am tellin' ya, you need a 7" Cubitron II grinding disc......larger contact and they will knock those big diameter bushing welds down fast......but do use them on a 7" or 9" grinder......cheers, Paul...36 grit of course.....
Outstanding.....it does allow you to get into areas a 5 or 4.5 " will not go.....but using a hand grip is recommended .....by this old fart anyway.......enjoyed how you cobbled the bearings on the bucket to get the standoff for the hydraulic motor......you da MAN>>>>> @@OFW
I’m probably gonna buy one for here at home. I wish the interface was in US measurements for wire size and speed but I can get over it if the machine does it’s job well
At 4:00 I said aloud..."too heavy a cut....make a lighter cut." I knew it would not stop chattering while trying to take a cut that is half the inserts cutting edge deep.
@@OFW do I need to make a donation for your time? In more details it’s whatever hands tools you use while line boring. I’m beginning my 11 month training for line boring/machinist tomorrow.
@@OFW Look at 8:33 and you see where one jaw lays flat against the back and the one on the left is raised away from the back at least an inch or more making an offset and potential to crash the tool bit more likely. Especially during an operation like you were when chamfering that edge.
Oh no I'm talking about increasing the size of the hole until concentric and making a larger bushing and avoiding bore welding and saving a ton of time
So I've been a machinist for 40 years get skipping over things. But if somebody just watches this video and they don't have a machining or welding background they have no idea what's going on. 🙁 Sorry to say you have to explain everything every time.🙁 There's a lot of people who watch RU-vid just for entertainment. That's what I watch it for.
How do you not have John Deere yellow. Bad practice to leave it up to customer. As a customer I would take it that you are lazy and do not care to do a complete job. Have your apprentice do it. Teach him right.
I mostly work on CAT equipment. So I don’t have that color. You do not know my relationship with my customers so saying it’s bad practice is your opinion and it’s a bad one. It’s not like I didn’t discuss it with them at all and just gave it back. And for your information it bothered me so much I actually ended up painting it. Also I’m probably one of the most least lazy people you would ever meet.
