Finally video with our big CNC milling machine! We had also pretty large part with almost 3 meter long cut. Sandvik Machining youtube channel / sandvikcoromant
Big thanks for Sandvik for helping with the Machining tools! They have also their own RU-vid Channel where they have lot of Machining videos ru-vid.com
That's a dam fine van, just fix it. Having my own fun with a bosch pump on my vw right now. Second try at the seal just today. 200k on it, and another 350k to a full overhaul. You will never beat the mpg with anything available right now. Get a dongle from china to reset the computer ~35usd. I wish they had sold those here
Personally I'd also fix the transporter (or pay someone to fix it and go through the ball ache of fault finding on it), may be go as far as getting the engine reconditioned and a slightly bigger turbo, and a fuel map chip so it feels fun again. Be a lot cheaper than buying another car. A Sorrento is a good choice though, my gf has one for work, they're reliable, comfortable, not too slow, and the build quality is pretty good. (A bit boring though ;) )
A product placement I can get behind. Sandvik tools and bits are tops. I lost half a bonus one quarter when I was a machinist because I failed to zero my lathe properly and I snapped an $800.00 Sandvik boring bar. Last time I did that.
One of our customers had also pretty expensive accident lately. They borrowed our 150 mm 3-point micrometer and then the guy who was operating milling machine forgot that inside of the work piece and collided against it with milling head :D
Hopefuly you are inspiring future machinists with your great videos. The trade needs to be promoted more. Machines cannot make other machines, people make machines!
HPC and this channel give me hope. It shows that a lot of people who make things for a living are smart and funny. We aren't the slow-witted ignorant grunts that the snobs out there imagine, and our jobs are for more fulfilling than sitting comfortably in an office all day getting obese.
Great video as always! Almost dropped my phone from laughing at Anni doing the van commercial. That might make a good video... With all those great machining tools and know-how you could make your own car from the frame up! ( with a smashinator 5 million as optional equipment) lol
I used to deliver stuff for Sandvik back when I was a delivery boy. It was mostly wooden crates full of little metal discs. No idea what they were for.
Moi! I hope you find a seller for your van and get a new one at a decent price! Your German viewers are so lucky! If you come to San Diego, I will be there! 👍🏻👏🏻😻
We have a very similar machine in size and design at work here in Adelaide Australia. Gets a lot of gun drill work where the holes can be a meter or two long. A little scary and very messy in that situation. Interesting to see yours in action.
I also work at sandvik, (steel mill), and was reflecting about your material need. You shoulld try to buy a whole cast billet, some are huge in diameter. Even a bit "squared up" already depending on the mould, but i dont know where to find the steel properties that you are looking for, we usualy make high grade stuff.
I think best car for you for this use would be Volvo XC70. Really pleasant to drive and travel, even smaller diesel engines powerful enough to pull a trailer, big enough to carry some stuff on its own. Reasonably reliable, but unfortunately they are not the cheapest cars, you can get a 10 year old nice one just below € 10,000, but younger ones can go up to € 25,000. I think for your purpose it is better choice then anything else. My other choice would be a Honda Accord Tourer, not as pleasant as Volvo, but propably a little more then half in terms of price, good enough, spaceous enough, reliable as f***. But only avaiable with FWD.
I love you guys and you are so business savvy, you can claim all your holidays and trips for new cars as RU-vid business expenses 😃 brilliant, I wish I could do that because tax sucks.
It sounds much better, friendlier and more melodious when Anni says "Thank you for watching!" rather than "Thanks for watching! in the outro. You should go back to that! Love both your channels...
We have just ended our summer holiday and now we are filming with smashinator and after this I have plenty of videos on reserve and I can start to build again more stuff. I have the CAD model almost ready and after that I order rest of parts. I have already the whole powertrain sorted out.
I was disappointed because I thought you were going to announce shirts with the Vuohensilta logo. It's really nice and would be a cool way to get recognized by other HPC fans. I hope you do make one. I need new shirts!
I had a KIA Sorento, a 2012 diesel model. It was an awesome car, the nicest I’ve ever had. Unfortunately after having it for 3 months some idiot went through a red light and hit me. Insurance wrote the car off but at least I wasn’t injured, very safe car. Economical too, about 800 km from one tank.
You have a great looking shop. I miss machining at times, as I am now retired. Your wife Anni adds a great touch to your videos. She is funny and pretty. Is Sandvic also helping tech assistance? I was wondering about running all your cutters dry. Sometimes dry is best but often not. Dry is sure better for most machines though.
I know of a VERY large press you can probably have for free. It was built for some specific task at a factory in Fredrikstad, Norway, and has a huge vertical piston as well as a smaller horizontal one. When they tore down the factory they left it standing on its foundation. Bringing it to Finland would be an interesting endeavor... Want pictures?
Nice long bed machine there. I didn't see you using any coolant when you were machining that surface. Is there a reason for that? Good luck on car upgrade. There is a point when it is not worth fixing it anymore.
It would be cool to see some of the metal parts from the old Volkswagen van pressed into a cube (or other shape)! You can entertain a lot of people, make money from the video, plus you can sell the pressed metal a scrap yars for quite a bit of money!
+Beyond the press Maybe something like this one? suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=265101476&cn=DE&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&grossPrice=true&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=24100&makeModelVariant1.modelId=17&maxMileage=100000&maxPrice=17500&pageNumber=1&scopeId=C&fnai=prev&steered=1&searchId=5a5d4292-4124-5361-d6ef-d90ee6a12ad4 www.mobile.de/ is one of the biggest car-market-websides in Germany...
Thanks Sandvik! Does that C-axis spin fast enough for turning? (I know it doesn't, but cool video idea depending on if it spins anywhere even close to fast enough.) That is an 5 axis machine (spindle extend/retract- z, spindle up/down the mast- a, table- x & y, table rotation- b. Right?), so maybe some mill turning instead, if it doesn't spin very fast.
Road trip with you guys would be awesome....some friends and i went a few years back but we had a van with a futon into awesome room all day an sleep 3 if needed at night when folded out... but i thank you an your girl would that its so much fun an very CHEAP holidays when you stay in a van ,wake up at the ocean or the mountain..damn now i want to go again..hahaha love you guys. Good luck HAVE fun life !.!.right?.?.!!.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👅👅👅👅👅😲🤘✌
Thats a pretty new controller on that old sacem. Here they still run most of the work on a TNC 355 (Zayer KF4000), As the new machines with TNC640 just have to many bugs left
i offer a nice birch stick for sauna in winter :D i btw live in germany, if you want "bang for buck" go for hyundai, they are massively upping their game here and you can get some pretty good deals even on new / year old cars
Sharky I don't trust Hyundai very much. A friend of mine just had a 2013 model with 72000 miles on it, and the engine seized and destroyed the clutch in the process. Cost about 4000 to 5000 USD to fix. Maybe you have different experiences, though.
yeah i mean 72k miles depending on the engine thats in there is quite a bit, cant tell anything about how your friend was using and maintaining his car, but for it to seize it needs more than just a bit of neglect to be honest... an engine doesnt just seize, it must run with very little oil either due to lack of oil or due to the oil pump failing... both usually gives you a red light in the cockpit wich clearly states loss of oil pressure and everyone clear minded would shut off the engine asap. also a destroyed clutch due to an catastrophic engine failure is a bit strange to say since it gets swapped out anyways if something like this happens to the motor. there can and will always be cases of engines exploding from every brand and make, i'd surely not go down the route of saying car x is better than y. hyundai does offer a 5 year warranty though, so if your friend was bringing the car in for service, he should be covered by the warranty.
The high pressure fuel pump driven off the back of the cam shaft can also leak fuel in to the oil and might be worth a look, or you could be very unlucky and have a porous cylinder head.
This is nice machine. I wish i could take pictures of mine but i would get into trouble. Its a tos kurim bridge mill. 5 axis. Has 5 different heads, 2 straight heads, 2 90deg heads and a 5 axis head. 45ft in x (13.7 meters) by 22 feet in y (6.7 meters) and 12 feet in z (3.7 meters) it has 30,000 mm per min rapid (1200in/m) about 6k rpm on spindle. I like seeing your machines. It weighs 140,000 kg.
It's always compromise between making a mess and being able to go bit faster. For example here we are in no hurry since it takes hours to do the setup and just couple minutes to machine so no need to save any time on machining part and making everything wet
I'm surprised you don't drive a Unimog. Also, that Mjølnir you're building would be interesting attached to a large excavator (you know the kind they use for dredging, with a 10m arm).
Haha Unimogs were the best in winter, so easy to drift. Just remember to select lower gear to motor brake on icy road, rears lose the traction instantly. Tried that intentionally, of course hoping it would happen :D
Sorry for the delay with those we have been really busy since lot of stuff piled up during our holidays and we are trying to catch up :D I try to get that done tommorow
I'm not sure how or where they sell those, but I heard from a cop who arrested me once that there are old police cars which are pretty cheap and that they actually have power.
Honda Cr-v:lle ääni. Ootteko koskaan miettinyt, että ottaisitte au pairin? Teillä vois olla runsaasti mielenkiintoista kivaa puuhasteltavaa ja ootte aina niin kiireisiä, että apukädet vois olla tarpeen.
Ei vedä Cr-v tarpeeks, meillä oli itse asiassa viime kesänä harjottelija pari viikkoa ja ollaan harkittu, että vois taas ottaa jossain kohtaa jonkun. Ja käytetään kyllä välillä ulkopuolista kuvaajaa ja editoijaa nytkin
If your trip brings you to Hamburg and you want to see something of the city or the harbor - give me a message, I'd be pleased to meet you and show you around!
I had a 2009 Sorento as a company car a few years ago, the car was okay but did have a couple of really annoying 'features'. When driving past trees when the sun was low the automatic headlights strobe on and off as you pass each tree. This makes everybody think that you are stupid and on-coming traffic really annoyed. The front parking sensors never switch off even at motorway speed, worse, they are so sensitive that the beeper goes mad when driving in rain.
For what it's worth, I think it would be good for the channel if you got a really strange car that could get famous in its own right. You know, like the dog van from Dumb & Dumber, that kind of thing. Maybe a forestry truck with a log splitter that you could re-engineer into a vertical press?
