We're turning a chunk of solid 4140 steel into a big nut for the EX1200 bucket cylinder rod. We are making the new nut to replace the one that was seized and gouged off the cylinder rod! In this video we show the step by step process of making the new cylinder nut. We are starting with a solid piece of 4140 steel bar. First we drill and bore out the centre of the material in the lathe. Then we cut the internal threads before finish turning the outer diameter. Next we use the super indexer in the milling machine for face cutting the nut into a hexagon before drilling and tapping a hole for the grub screw. We finish the job by machining the new threads onto the EX1200 cylinder rod to suit the big nut.
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
Missed the first video where we gouge the seized nut off to save the $20K cylinder rod?

FOr those who don't know: if you are wanting a precise hole position, or if you're drilling a deep hole with a spade drill, it's crucial to provide a close-fitting starting bore deep enough for the guide surfaces at the OD of the insert to be fully supported before the central chisel edge touches the work. For deep drilling, high pressure coolant is advisable, otherwise a drastic reduction in feed rate will be necessary, with multiple withdrawals to clear chips.

But with most of the work then going out to be slathered in yellow (occasionally orange) paint ... anything much more delicate than writing "CEE" and a reference number (YYYY/MM/Invoice# or similar) with the welder is unlikely to be visible through 3 coats of yellow and 2 inches (bananas) of mud ...

Great camera and editing to accompany equally great machining. You should suggest the customer use some anti-size paste on the threads to try and avoid another frozen joint. I started machining, if you could call it that, when my step father bought a primitive lathe, belt driven, without any scales on the cross side, some 65 years ago. It was needed for a home built amusement size railroad that wore out bronze bearings every season. Great fun for a teen age kid.

And big props to Karen for her excellent videography and editing. Still finding yet more new ways to both tell the story and bring us along for the journey.

That Sir is a threading job well done and done right ! My Dad (if he were here to see it) would say “that’s really nicely done” He had an old South Bend 13 out back the barn where I grew up, taught me to how to turn and center a rod, and cut a 3/4 11 thread on it. I got tired and wanted to see the U.S.A. , so I drove truck here outta S Tx. for 28 yrs. He passed 32 yrs. Ago, now I’m retired and working on old Lathe , maybe I can pick up where I left off. Nice camera work; steady, sharp & clear and get right in there and show us how it’s done 👍.

nuts take a lot of abuse and are high wear, the massive surface area of the threads make them a hotbed for wear and tear and galling as well as corrosion, a weird shock can strip threads and cause other issues too... its not too surprising nuts and broken threads make up such a huge portion of the work done as they are typically the weakest point

For OEM, you start with the ordering process, you have a person go onto a system to order a part, that order is then passed onto a picker to then pull off the shelf, package it up and then send to the distributor for your location. They then have a person enter it into their system then contact the customer saying they have the part and they are sending it to them.. Its an absolute cluster fuck.

@HTOP1982 11 месяцев назад

Time is money. Leave an EX1200 stopped for a few days, and you might also need to stop a few trucks, all in all, you can lose upwards of 50K pretty quickly, just at the mining site. So paying the OEM rates becomes a smaller loss. When the mining companies have access to enough spares, it's a different story, then machinists have the time to replicate a part and avoid the convenience fee. Most OEM's don't see machining specialists as competition as strange as it might seem, often times they have to work hand-in-hand as the OEM 's will hire machinists to refurbish older units taken in trade.

Never saw one of those mega-drills before, but I like the modular construction and the swappable inserts.

Greetings from Ohio once again. I’ve been waiting for this one to be posted. I’m intrigued by the new tools and the whole concept of spade bits for metal. Also always impressed by machined threads that don’t gall up. Good job my friend.

You must have a small fortune wrapped up in your equipment. Really amazing and such an art. Thank you for the stimulating video.

Wow Kurtis that turned out to be a great end product. That’s amazing how that new drill works. Certainly going to be a time saver. Good job Karen for showing us all the different angles and I just love your giggles.

At 33:49 Kurtis gives an excellent explanation of why he does not re thread the old nut. Thanks Kurtis, you leave no doubt as to your thought on this.

@samwest9444 11 месяцев назад

Because he arc gouged it into pieces maybe

Taking this in was a far better use of an hour than bloody cat videos.

Well the engineering is as good as we've come to expect, but the videography is next level. Thanks for posting.

Of all the things you do, cutting threads is the most intimidating for a non machinist like me. Would be shitting bricks every time I set us the lathe and started to cut threads on that giant piece of steel. Thanks for sharing and another great video. And the drill type comparisons would be very interesting.

Came here for the machining, stayed for the bloopers.

Great to see manual turning is still alive somewhere. I miss my Harrison😢

OK, saw the uncut Patreon version yesterday, but you can't get enough CEE vids 👍 You can tell it is a big drill when Kurtis puts his hand in the hole it has just drilled 🕳 😂 No pilot hole - that must save some time. All the best, Paul

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 11 месяцев назад

Hey mate! You must be up there for #1CEE supporter we reckon 😏 Definitely saves time not having to pilot drill, really happy with the new bit of tooling! Have a good one Paul

The sound of the drill breaking through made me think of the old '50s monster flicks. The Slime Creature oozing through the window.

As a first year apprentice, all of this is very important, interesting and good information. Any videos that can expand someone's understanding is always going to be worth it. Especially seeing as how much trades have been dying out over the last decade.

@rowanjones3476 11 месяцев назад

Quality work, as we’ve come to know expect Curtis. Would love to see a comparison of the drill types. This sort of educational content is hard to come by for those of us not in the trade.

Hello Kurt and Karen, I hope all is well in Australia. The teaching video was awesome. The videography is so good I am incredibly amaze how good this video is thanks to both of you and homie. Take care, thanks 😊

I swear to god , I’ll swing through this channel every few months, when I do I always think “Damn, is that guy a young Robert Shaw ?” And , also one helluva master machinist .

I was fortunate enough to have done this kind of metal work at school as a profile. And a few years later, Im admiring such profession more than ever. Beautiful work lad.

The shot through the headstock was perfect. Reminded me of a tunnel boring video I watched once. Great idea and great filming!

@gregc2467 11 месяцев назад

Got my beer, just finished a night-shift, great time for a Pommie, thanks Kurtis, longtime subscriber , Hope you lose the Cricket 😄I doubt that though.I spent a good few years working at the paper mill at Petrie in the early 2000's, stopped in Boondall, loved the place. All the best to you, Karen and Homie.

haha tough to lose to bazball, at least it's exciting and unpredictable.

The shot showing the breakthrough on the drilling was really nice.

If I could go back and start over, I would 100% be a machinist... I love this stuff!

It's cool to see a hunk of steel turn into a working piece of equipment. Love watching this channel and watching the master at work. The videos are top quality when it comes to how they are put together and edited too. Cheer from Florida!
