See our BIG Lathe in action and making chips! This video is a job showing step by step machining the ends of 2 large steel tubes in our big 7 metre lathe. The steel tubes are approximately 4 metres (12’ feet) long and 350mm (13 3/4” inches) in diameter and will eventually be a part of a Toomey Earthmovers All-in-one Laser bucket. After the machining we also need to weld in drive plates and end caps to each tube. We hope you enjoy seeing the big lathe in action!
Check out Toomey Earthmovers All-in-one Laser Buckets here: / @toomeyearthmovers6218
In this video we are using:
- Shenyang No.1 CW6280B Lathe
- WIA Weldmatic 500i welder

Man I wish I had seen your work 25 years ago before I went to college to study engineering. Now, in my 40's I'm only truly happy in my shop building something or welding something to repair it. Had I known how interesting this work is and how fulfilling it can be I would have skipped engineering and thousands of hours spent sitting in front of a computer screen and just learned skilled trades earlier in my life. If we want kids to go into the skilled trades, and we very much need them to, they need to be shown these kinds of videos as a way to introduce them to both how important these jobs are and just how rewarding they can be.

@tookitogo 2 года назад

@davidelliott5843 10 месяцев назад

Most tools have more than one use. But anything outside it’s primary purpose will get closer to over-using if not abusing the tool. I have old blunt screwdrivers which get used as chisels drifts and levers. I have well kept screwdrivers for mundane tasks like driving screws.

@wildschuetzjaeger2316 2 года назад

I'm german, so english is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes. Be careful when working on a big machine. It happened to me at the beginning of my career, that a part would be riped out from the machine (weight around 250 lbs). My Boss came running, asking me" are you allright?" Told him "Yes, i'm ok, still looking for the machine". Boss: I'm not interested on the machine, YOU'RE ok? Told him a second time "i'm allright", Boss: "now let's have a look at the machine". Luckily the lathe was capsuled, and no damage was found. I only had to adjust the tool again. A fault like this happened no second time once more to me. Wish you a good luck on your career and stay safe.

@gorillaau 2 года назад

@@wildschuetzjaeger2316 I think it would be fair to say that smaller machines will stall if you do something unexpected. Larger machines will break either the part or the machine itself. Large weighted objects do not stop quickly.

@@gorillaau On most tooling machines you have parts that must break when something accidentally happens. These parts are especially made to save those expensive machines from more damage. There are a lot of safety rules that need to be watched. Always be careful when working on a lathe. I saw a lot of things during the time I worked on milling and latheing machines.

Yep, some ringing means bad stuff, but cutting tubing like this will make a ring. Think in terms of like a bell? I've cut a lot of tubing when manufacturing well pump casings etc., some a lot bigger than this stuff and typically thinner wall. Essentially the same operation he did here except for flange rings. It about always makes a ring like that. Now, if a sound like that starts changing significantly kill your machine or just run! Lmao!

Hey mate, juts FYI, that thing weighs 600+ kg, and you picked it up with a choked purple sling. I know those slings have a 7:1 MBS to SWL rating, but choking a 1000kg sling will bring it's rated strength down quite a bit (usually close to 50%, but it's dependent on many factors).

Great job girls, guys and mutt, I worked at a big power generating station in the USA for 42 years and just retired, I had the chance to work with a lot of amazing machinist and welders over the years and you are right there with the best of them buddy. I wished I lived closer and I would hang out there and sweep your floors and pet your hound dog just for fun. Great job and Karen ( the giggler) is the best video lady ever, keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching!

@wigf173 2 года назад

It's no doubt nothing to you, but getting it to .2mm (45/78ths of a banana) is wickedly impressive. Another top quality job and top quality video from you guys. Thanks for all the time making these for us all to play along at home. With work out the door, doing the vids must be a burden, we appreciate it like you wouldn't believe!

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

Cheers mate! We know the viewers would love more videos but yeah just flat out busy at the moment doing 1 a week is what we can manage for now

@roberta4989 2 года назад

Great episode. Love the new hat from IC Weld, makes you look smarter. Much smarter. Love how Homeless listen to "Stay", as soon as Kurtis turned his back, Homeless runs for Karen. Well now we know who the Alpha is there. Have a nice weekend you guys!

Great video, incredible camera work and editing. Needless to say, your machining and welding skills are top notch. The way Homeless took the bite outta the chew toy is almost scary.

G’day Kurtis. Another great video mate. That big lathe is incredible. Toomey Earthmovers is an awesome company. I was blown away when I visited them on New Year’s Day and did their shop tour video. I think that’s when I popped in quickly to say g’day to you. Say hi to Karen for us. Cheers mate 🍻. Aaron

Hey mate yeah they've got a fantastic setup in their workshop and no doubt why they're so busy with the great machines they are building. That was the time you dropped in to see me, time sure is flying. Take care mate

Are you going to fit a quick change toolpost to this lathe? Although I enjoy the disaster, destruction, and discontent as much as the next guy, there's something to be said about a nice bit of machine fabrication. Congratulations on gaining a bit of real estate in your shop. It is good news to hear that your large lathe is going to work out well. And I wish your departed lathe the best of luck in it's new home.

@CalebBlackhand 2 года назад

As far as I can see, that IS a quick-change toolpost? See 9:18 ..... or did I misunderstand something about the quickchange?

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

hey mate, it does have a QCTP on it but I don't like it and will eventually upgrade it to a Dorian QCTP

@gregm1457 2 года назад

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Seeing that Dorian go away must have been a drag, DRO too I suppose. No DRO on my machines at the moment but I sure do love my Dorian toolpost...

@mooseflunky4569 2 года назад

@@gregm1457 I asked the same question right after the video came out. Kurtis told me that the Dorian QCTP is still on his small frontline lathe that he still has for "small" jobs. Like you, I thought that the lathe that went away was the one we usually see him working on. Look up his response to me for the full details straight from Kurtis.

Never thought I'd say it, but Homeless is awesome! What a cute pup he is. Thank you for showing us your work. This gave me an idea of what my dad did with his huge lathe at Standard Oil, as I never got to see him operate it.

@caseycarpenter79 2 года назад

Hey Kurtis, just a really dumb question possibly. That tube looked to be precision honed on the inside unless I'm mistaken. Is that really necessary considering your welding plugs in both ends? Seems like an added expense when an unfinished internal bore would work considering. Just a dumb question I guess. Maybe its all you could get or customer supplied material. Just curious.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

hey mate good question was going to explain that in the video but didn't. Material is in short supply at the moment and customer got what they could get, we agree it's a waste of a finished honed tube the unhoned is what they normally go with.

That new monster lathe is wonderful. You needed it for sure. I love your dog. I have a four year old female red nose pit bull. I’ve never allowed her to get in a fight and she’s been raised with a bunch of kittens which she plays with and I don’t allow her to chase the outside cats. She loves the kittens and tries to play with them. Her name is Rosie. Thank you for your videos.

@photoast 2 года назад

When you machine the band for the rollers, is that at a specific place so that it is covered up in a future manufacturing process, or can it just be wherever is best to stabilize the part?

@ke6gwf 2 года назад

I was thinking about that, and I would guess that they would be put where things are NOT being welded on, since it slightly changes the diameter?

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

Hey mate yeah it's in a position that is clear of the carriage and close enough to the machining end but also away from any spots that will have parts welded to it

@davidfranzkoch9789 Год назад

Wow. That was some world famous lathe you sold there. Basically millions of people have watched that thing work for countless hours. Hope the new owner treats it with love :-)
