@@markfryer9880 Hey Mark haha yeah just making sure the viewers want that before we put the effort in 🤣 No rubber chickens were destroyed in the making of this video haha 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering You’re doing better than me! I’ve always thought of making videos about some of the machining processes you can’t find much on RU-vid, slotting keyways, OD/ID grinding jobs etc but have been to scared to do it so far! 😎😎
I'm a welder-fabricator by trade, lucky enough to work for a large US ammo manufacturer. You make all your jobs look so easy, even though they aren't..It all takes experience, patience, skill and fitness to do what we do. Keep the great videos coming.
even the best movie producers in Hollywood would admire the fantastic job this lady is doing with these videos. The guy is so gentle, nice and talented in his work, the dog is a superstar and with this perfect production and turning of the video you have a great team.
Loved your comment, “It’s not as easy as it sounds” because I know I would have trouble with it too! Keep your sense of humor going, because it adds a lot to my enjoyment of your videos!
Good morning my name is David I had a auto shop for over 40 years I retired in 2013 I got bord started doing equipment repair part time from my house I was in the local hydr. hose shop getting some made a man was in getting some hoses made to he was asking for help to repair a dredge so I told him I could try lol after I finish the job he asked me if I would like to work for him at a sand mine so I worked on all kinds of equipment so he sold the land so now every body wants me to work on there big equipment lol so I have been watching your YT channel I have learned a lot about line boaring and the proper way to weld and mechan I have a small Smitty and I learned the correct way to use it I wish I was younger I would buy more equipment to add to my service truck cause I enjoy working on big equipment and weard stuff.peopel say I'm crazy for wanting to work cause I'm 63 and I want to learn more so thank you for your videos and explaining what you are doing and why if you ever come to S FL and bring the pup I had one just like him he was lost to cancer but he had a great life. PS sorry for along mess. I have to go finish repair center pins on a cat end dump 😜🐾 dualydave@gmail.com if you send your mail address the wife wants to send pup a toy 👍
I have absolutely no knowledge of engineering but just watch you program you explain things so even I understand and I'm amazed at what you can do. Keep up the good work Peter UK 🇬🇧
I stumbled on this channel by accident. I don't know much about machine shop work, but I can appreciate it when someone knows what they are doing and are good at it. I find myself learning something new each time a video is released. Now, if you would only explain what those initials mean for the various cutters you switch in and out. Oh, and the dog is the bomb. I've got a few of those myself (although my bully is bigger and blind).
Hey mate welcome to the channel thanks for watching and the great comment. The initials stand for the universal insert designation to identify it's shape, angle, tolerance, chip breaking. Cheers, Kurtis 👍
As someone who knows little about the subject, I would appreciate more information as to the various processes, must say it looks to be a very skilful and satisfying trade to be in.
Hey David will see what I can do mate, I prefer to get stuck in and get the job done when it comes to customers work haha Thanks for watching, cheers Kurtis 😎👍
I love that live tail stock 4 jaw. I hope to get one myself some time, I've had atleast 12 jobs in the past like 6 months where it would have made my life so much easier.
Kurtis may I suggest painting the pipe holder at the end of the pipe holder with a white paint to make the machine look good the lathe works good but the holder makes it look old and very beat up !your work far surpasses the the lathes look Love the show ! Watch the show every day !
Spent a bunch of time trying to fit a pulley on my shaper to cut a key way, only to discover I need to make a new longer bar to give me the depth I need. Time for a 🍺 and watching a professional!
I liked your honing machine. I thought most honing machines were made on horizontal axis but vertical certainly easier to use. Yes I’m a machinist for 35 years And I have worked on D10’s I like your videos thank you
Hey mate thanks for watching always appreciate the support from others who know what they're doing! Yeah the vertical honing goes well I'm just limited with extending the stroke length unless I cut a hole to sit the machine in hahaa
Love to watch someone do , what to them is mundane, to me Its amazing. We don't know what is required to make things, the accuracy and knowledge. Love the out takes and thanks for sharing.
Stick a live centre up its arse... heh heh. Love the shots of the safety officer. Another top job! Love that honing machine. If you're interested, check out the 50 ton rudder on HMS Victorious aircraft carrier that I worked on in 1968 as a 3rd year apprentice. We had to take it out, remove the old bronze sleeve, machine the steel stock with an air driven contraption on the dock bottom, then heat the new sleeve over a wood fire as it was rotated and get a team of labourers to lift it on wooden bearers when it was hot enough then slide it on the machined stock to cool down and grip. Then we had to re-install it. The for the pic here "The Rudder may not look very big" scroll down to page 6.
Hey Fred Thanks mate for watching this weeks vid! Yeah we've got it made easy in this day and age with all the new technology and tooling available. Will have to check that out, would've been one hell of a job to do! 💪😎 Cheers have a good week
Well, dunno why but YT doesn't seem to like me putting any more in... Bummer! In the pic, that's me on the right of the three in the left foreground. I remember it like it was yesterday.
What would be interesting to know is the cost savings to the customer with you making/repairing these parts vs. them going to Cat and purchasing them new. I remember having backhoe outrigger cylinder rods cut off and replaced at a local machine shop vs. buying complete new ones from Case. Having the machine shop cut off the damaged rod and then welding on new rod was 1/2 the cost vs. buying new. Good job on the video's and content. And good job to your gal for filming for ya.
Great video, where would we be without our animal friends, and I'm learning learning learning, a true craftsmen/tradie always passes on his knowledge and experience and this is what advances civilization, much obliged and thankful for your teams efforts in producing these valued video's.
Delapena vertical honing machine? Yes please! I have seen very small Delapena hones working, but would love to see more of the Big Boy doing it's thing. 😊
Haha yeah it's a weapon. Lucky our roof is high but if I keep extending it we will have to cut a hole in the floor, our landlord already said we can 🤣🤣🤣
You are dead right. It is not as easy as it sounds. I narrate my videos after they are completed, how you manage to do it at the time, I don't know. Your camera operator/editor does a brilliant job too.
There's no way I would do this without the help of my misses who videos and edits. Half the time I don't know what to say and she asks me questions or prompts me with ideas. All the more to you if you do it all on your own! 😎👊💥
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I think the chuck on my cnc lathe would fit up that bore you were machining. I usually run multiple parts so I can shoot one angle and then another. All on tripod without moving as the stuff I do is so small. The way your wife gets such steady shots is fascinating. Does she use a gimbal or just image stabilisation?
Yeah that's the way to do it if you're on your own! She uses neither just a very steady hand and her Samsung galaxy phone! The timelapse we use an iphone on a shitty selfie stick attached to a noga dial indicator holder haha. She actually bought a gimbal but doesn't like using it 🤣
It is certainly nice to see someone that doesn't waste time and energy trying to tighten each key socket on a 3 jaw chuck. Tightening just one is all that is needed. That also applies to drill chucks. If someone's chuck needs tightening at all 3 sockets....their friggin chuck is garbage! You do really great work and, NO, it isn't as easy as it looks.
This would have to be my favourite video of yours for 2020, I love the fact that a machine as old as that vertical borer can still run true and can be accurate if properly maintained. I also love the fact you modified it to suit your needs. That there is ingenuity at its best and as I always say “adapt and overcome”, please keep up the good work mate. I enjoy your videos and I hope that I will cross paths with you oneday!
Hi guys, I'm slowly making my way through your previous episodes. I can't believe people were getting so bent out over music in your videos! Yes it's good to hear the different sounds the machines make but it does drone on 😳 Personally I like the mix of a little more music than machine noise, but you do what you want to do. There will always be some weirdo that you can't please! I've got my merch on order to the UK too! 😁👍
Now there is a "why didn't I think of that moment",,,,,Put the read out in the carriage so it's always right in the line of sight of the cut. OUTSTANDING!
So weird seeing different ways of honing, being the only one who know how to run the hone at my work and knowing its a half assed way of doing it makes me wanna learn how to do it properly. (running a 1970s century horizontal tube hone) definitely wanna see more videos on the hone
Hey mate thanks for watching yeah for sure we will do a video soon just on the honing machine. Honing isn't easy at the best of times let alone with an old school machine haha
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering tell me about it! Whether it be 6'(2m) long 140mm tubes or 300mm diameter heavy press ductile manifolds honing is a craft within itself thats forsure
Have a look at David Wilks he has some great information about boring on lathe and making the tooling . He makes some nicetooling .I have used his ideas . You will learn a lot .. we are never to old to learn new tricks . Trepanning made easy
Suddenly Delapena's website will be overloaded with all of the drooling machinists looking into vertical honing machines! I used to own a honing machine for engine cylinders, but it wasn't 8 metres tall! LOL I'd love to see more videos of that machine in action. Thanks very much for another super video, Kurtis! I cannot compliment your camera lady enough for the excellent videography. Oh, and please, tell us your best friend's name. He's delightful.
Hey Bruce hope you're enjoying the weekend mate. Thanks again for watching glad you enjoyed! What sort of honing machine did you own? Will definitely be putting together a video all about ours. Cheers, Kurtis and Karen says thank you for the great feedback 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Thanks Kurtis! I had a Sunnen vertical honing machine back in the 1960s. I thought it was pretty big, but yours puts it to shame! LOL I used mine for honing cylinders in engine blocks. I was big into sports car racing at that time.
Hi Kurtis, that's one chunky cylinder, spot on work as usual mate, the Delapina hone is a beaut, I used a smaller version many years ago honing vehicle cylinder blocks after reboring, happy days. Looking forward to the next one, Best wishes to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Hi Kurtis, no worries mate, not many left to watch now mores the pitty, but I'll be watching out for your notifications, I ain't gonna leave you now mate, your site's on my favourites list,lol ,so keep em coming, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Ditempat saya kerja menggunakan metode berbeda untuk proses perbaikan. Kita strip 10 mm bagian luar sisain 20 mm dari area sambungan. Lalu luarnya kita welding SAW + face bagian belakang, Lalu kita bubut luarnya sesuai ukuran. Selanjutnya kita skim ID minus 0.2 dari ukuran, dengan panjang sesuai ukuran. Bubut face bagian belakang sesuai ukuran. Selanjutnya kita honing sampai spec. Finish.
Really informative to me as a layman. I especially like the videographer’s ability to use the camera to show and explain what’s happening. No need for commentary, which is just as well judging by the outtakes!! 😉
You're doing a really good job. I also work in the industry. I just wonder why you don't stop turning longitudinally so you can stand more relaxed next to it and no accident happens.
On the lathe why is lubricant only used on certain tooling or in certain situations? Also is cost and possibly down time the only reasons why someone would choose to refurbish a part rather than buy new from the manufacturer? Would there be a large percentage difference in cost machining a new hydraulic cylinder rod/barrel rather than to buy new Cheers, thoroughly enjoying the videos
Hey Lewis thanks for watching and supporting mate. Great questions. We can do it for less than half the cost of new from OEM and that's if the parts are available, often they are discontinued components. I'm using carbide inserts which can be run hot/dry or flooded wet, I prefer less coolant mess so try not to run it all the time definitely not for the internal machining as coolant gets into the chuck and flicks all over the workshop hahaa
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering i assume what will happen is u get anothwr one who won't measure up to ur favorite, but over time becomes your new favorite lol.
If the chips only gets grey you should crank up the speed and the feed, blue chips will let the heat stay in the chips and give less wear on the insert. Blue chips is more money in the pocket and job done faster, happy customers :) There is actually an austrailian manufacturer of drills and endmills, Black Magic is one of their products, Sutton Tools is the name of the co, they are represented all over the world. Keep up the great work :)
GDaye . Yes to the full demo of the honing machine , I never got near one of these . Whats the tolerance on the bore ? Thanks for the entertainment mate , good vids .
Hey Steve thanks for watching mate will definitely be getting a video in the works of big girl. The bore tolerance we work with for this is +/- 0.05mm or 2 tenths of fuck all hahaha 😎👍
Thanks, nice video! Instead of removing the drippy bar & head for new consumables, can't it just be swung forward outta the work and still over the pan, with a fabbed metal or wood brace to position it? It'll be at a convenient push button adjustable height, only drip where there are already drops and save some walking around & table cleanup.
I am sitting at a desk, watching this for the first time (Jan 2024), while my dog (14:17) keeps me pinned to the floor, preventing me from floating to the ceiling. She is lying on my feet.
Hey mate thanks for watching haha yeah I do need to give myself a payrise, the joys of owning your own business and always wanting bigger and better gear 🤣👍
