In this video we are making one of our Rotary Ground Clamps and we are GIVING IT AWAY! This shop made rotary earth clamp makes welding rotating parts like cylinder rods and barrels so much easier and we wanted to show how simple it is to make one. To make this rotary earth clamp we are using scrap brass which first needs melting in our devil forge and casting into blanks. After we melt and cast the metal we show the step by step process for making the parts starting with machining the brass blanks and then machining a brass bolt. We also drill and tap a hole in one of the brass blanks on our milling machine before assembling the rotary ground clamp ready to use! Make sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to WIN this Rotary Ground Clamp!
!!!GIVEAWAY DETAILS BELOW!!!
This giveaway will run until 5:00PM AEST on Friday 1st July and one lucky winner will be announced on our RU-vid channel on Saturday 2nd July 2022.
How to Enter:
1) Be a subscriber to our RU-vid channel!
2) Leave a comment guessing the weight of the brass in our shop made rotary earth clamp!
3) The first subscriber to guess correctly (or guess the closest) before the giveaway ends, will win the rotary earth clamp!

I got such a big smile at “Can’t do it - got to do it properly” finishing the head of the brass bolt because I knew you wouldn’t let that go!

@mhfuzzball 17 дней назад

That attitude is undoubtedly responsible for all the business that comes into the shop. If you're going to spend the kind of money that these companies spend with Kurtis to avoid spending the even greater costs in money and time that ordering OEM parts would be, you certainly don't want a shop that believes in 'good enough'.

@craigsowers8456 2 года назад

Degreed "Jeweler" here. In school, all our "practice pieces" were mainly from Brass (even back when Gold/Silver were relatively cheap). So a smelting tip for you ... add a few pinches of "Flux Powder" to the crucible ... it draws impurities out of the melting metal and draws it to the top; also easier to collect the slag just before your pour. Wondering if a smear of conductive grease between the 2 Brass surfaces would help rotation ... like Permatex 22058 ? Brilliant job !!!

@ckmoore101 Год назад

That is literally the worst thing to put on there. Dielectric grease is not conductive. Its whole purpose for being is that it doesn't conduct. But there are conductive lubricants out there. Permatix 22058 just isn't one of them.

Hallo Andrej, meine Berechung hat was sehr änliches ergeben. 21mm*74 abzüglich ein 22,22 (OK... stimmt er mag die glatten Zahlen), bzw. 20,4 abzüglich Gewinde gemittelt 21,8. Bei der Schraube habe ich mich am Bild auf der Waage orientiert... Damit komme ich dann auf ca. 148mm und den Hexagonteil habe ich auf 20mm mit einer 4mm Abschrägung geschätzt. Das mit der M10 Schraube hast Du wesentlich besser abgeschätzt, da ich nicht auf die Idee gekommen bin die Umdrehungen zu zählen, die Kurtis braucht. Habe optisch geschätzt und 20mm angenommen. Beim Material jedoch habe ich "abgerundet" 8,40 ist meine Dichte. Beim Aufschmelzen von Messing oder Bronze verdampft ein Teil des Zink und Bleianteils (habe ich bei einem Glockengießer gesehen, die ettliche Barren Zinn in die Schmelze nachgeworfen haben...OK... ist hier Messing und nicht Bronze) Kurz: ich hatte 1884,2g berechnet... und aus beruflichen Gründen habe ich einen Faible für Schnappszahlen, darum ist meine offizielle Schätzung 1888g Schöne Grüße aus Bayern

Wide range of applications of that Knipex pliers is really impressive. Machining that brass like butter shows the quality of your cutting tools and power of your lathes. It also depicts the range of material hardness you're dealing with on everyday basis. The clamp itself is the epitome of applied art and design - 100% of function enclosed in 100% of form, 0% of bullshit. Excellent video, both on Karen's and Kurtis' side.

I'm not a machinist, so when you show that you are using a TNGG insert, I'm always wondering why and when the different types of inserts are used. I look up and see the spec sheet shows that it's pure tungsten carbide with such-and-such a hardness, and it comes in various grades. The type of coating is specified - I used to be in disk drive manufacturing, so I think CVD must be chemical vapour deposition, but there's also "PVD" and "NO". It might be informative some time to explain the different types of inserts, and when you use them. Thanks so much for your very interesting videos.

Really these videos are a work of art - the editing is superb

@noisytim 2 года назад

That is a really neat way of doing it! Whenever I saw those, I thought there were carbon brushes inside. Nice work, man :D

thanks for watching mate

@distinctiongifts 2 года назад

love the work guys as always top work on the machining and camera work i would guess at 1936g if that includes the brass bolt 1654g just for the conductive rings

@Booglehead 2 года назад

Hey guys, great vid! Nice to see the attention to detail for a give-away! BigstackD is also on my watch list! Not sure I am at the point of using it yet (my welding skills are still developing!), but my guess is 684g.

thanks for watching and Good luck 😎👍

Those piece of brass bar remind me of the bar end stock when I worked as a Screw Machinist. The machines I worked on were the Cadillacs of the industry, absolutely beautiful and produced the most deadly accurate parts an automatic lathe machine could make. They were so easy to set up, even as an apprentice with no foreknowledge of machining. Gonna miss those days but I'm headed in a better direction now with my current line of work. I hope to be taking on my own jobs in my own shop within the next 5 to 10 years. Cheer from the U.S.A Kurtis!

@bonelesswhiskey2865 Год назад

I just imagined if CEE and BigstackD collabed on a video, one making the other something and surprising them. I think it'd be pretty awesome, two of my fave Aussie youtubers in one video

@xitman327 2 года назад

Greetings to Australia! i have estimated brass round thinks to be 0.72kg each, and the brass bolt to be 0.80kg. All together would be 2.24kg. I am an ac tech who likes to watch machinist doing their thing. Anyway love your channel!

Awesome mate thanks for watching and Good luck 😎👍

@mikeweagle5523 2 года назад

Hello from Canada's East coast. Thanks for showing us how you made the earth clamp, I've been curious about that for some time. Why buy what you can build especially if you can use material from around the shop and it's pleasing to the eye too! My guess would be 460 grams or just over 1lb.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

hey mate glad you enjoyed watching that being made, Good luck 😎👍

@tomeucaldentey8107 Год назад

675 gramos

Simplemente perfeto y simple.

@charlieb1613 6 месяцев назад

I do throughly enjoy watching a machinist as good as you produce working parts. When I grow up I want to be just like Kurtis!!

@ghost-gamer4826 2 года назад

That's easier then I thought, how hot does the clamp get? Might graphite based grease (for the conductivity) help? My guess for the weight is 1853 gramms.

@uglysteve1 2 года назад

Good evening. Your machine seem to always work perfectly. Do you tune them up often or do you look for problems as you go. Great video, wonderful film editing.

@RidingSchoolOfGoon 2 года назад

972g. Thanks for the content, I do pretty much exactly the same work as you guys, but it's rare to get parts from excavators over 80t. I also mostly work on Hyundai/Hitachi gear, so keen to get some Cat gear through the door at some point. A rotating earth clamp has been on my to-do list for a long time, getting pretty sick of coiled earths! Keep up the good work!

@bencampbell5830 Год назад

I'm a new machinist, and by no means am i trying to tell you what to do, but from what i've learned from my teachers they've all told me when edge finding you should always run it between 1000-1500rpms, it helps for accuracy and the reaction of the edge finder kick off.

@davethompson4263 2 года назад

Hi there guys, you're absolutely brilliant at what you do. Keep up the great videos, love them. Cheers Dave T.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

Thank you! Cheers mate!

@jacobhellwig2216 2 года назад

Don’t know if they are available in Australia but that looks similar to the Lenco model C. Used those at a John Deere factory on all the rotating welding fixtures.

@saxon7034 2 года назад

Very good video guys! So satisfying to watch the machining. If I ever get the chance would love to make one of those. I like the fact you turned the off cuts into something you will use for a very long time.does the contact surfaces wear much or do they last a while?

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

hey mate, the last really well. The one I use is more than 4 years old and never pulled it apart

@ghktg7660 2 года назад

Man, you are really cool! And laugh behind the camera is beautiful. Together you are the best team!

@samuhell14 2 года назад

Solid work as always, Kurtis! I switched trades from machinist to mechanic a few years ago and I thoroughly enjoy the content you're posting, sometimes I miss the smell of coolant, metal chips and polished metal and your videos kinda bring me back into the shop 🥴. I like your no BS, straight the the point explanation and Karen's editing compliment all of that very nicely! As for the weight of the brass parts of the clamp, I'll go with 1750 grams🤔 Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦

@georgedunham6833 2 года назад

I could use one of those but I don’t ever win anything and would only use it a few times a year. It’s a great video to show us how to make one.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

well thanks for watching the vid mate

@amcconnell6730 2 года назад

36:21 How there can be no "Blue Steel" look after that out take, I'll never know. :D I'm tempted to note the dimensions, calculate the volume and use the density of brass to work out a brass gram value ... but I'm not a welder and don't need a rotary clamp. :D

@FearNoMan0311 Год назад

Absolutely hands down the best outtakes and bloopers ever recorded.

@ChrisGraham00 2 года назад

have you ever tried any dielectric contact grease in between the brass pucks? just wondering if it would offer good electrical properties as well as a little lube for the material to slip against

@SuperSpecies 11 месяцев назад

Dielectric means non conductive

I was wondering how relying on the grip of the 3-jaw chuck could be sure to make the faces true, then I realised that by facing the piece and boring the hole to the final size with the piece held in the same place you ensured that the face was perpendicular to the hole centreline, on each piece, and that's all that matters. Clever!

@jimsvideos7201 2 года назад

Also it appears the trick to casting metal is to have low-slung dogs that make lots of slobbering noises. 😄

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 года назад

hahaa yes, Homey has been getting tips from Ingot & Bullion! 🤣

@gordonagent7037 2 года назад

Watching you go about your business on the lathe is a constant reminder to me that I tend to over engineer many of my ideas when a simple solution is there if you think the process through. I guess you are a tradie and I am a shed enthusiast which is the reason I love to watch your channel……and also the off chance of catching a glimpse of Karen who is shit loads prettier than you mate!!

@Thatguy-hc3ed 2 года назад

I'll over think a screwdriver of I'm not careful. Good to know I'm not the only one

@loydkirkpatrick3584 Год назад

40 grams of brass in the earth clamp. I really like the way you built this. It shows how creative you are. I sincerely enjoy your videos and I frequently watch them. I live near the geographical center of the United States of America and I often struggle with your language that is the same as mine, yet so different. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

@corporal381 5 месяцев назад

@adamengland2519 Год назад

This is a great project very achievable by many. Particularly loved the casting thrown in for good measure and showing recycling of material. You have a great presence on camera and really enjoy the content. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇬🇧

The precision of the machining and the video production are running neck and neck for gold medals.

Brass looks like one of those materials that is a joy to work with.

@darrenwardell3079 Год назад

Like you Kurtis, i love the fact that i can just pop in the workshop and knock up something that would otherwise cost a small fortune to buy somewhere..... Your brain must never switch off. Love the videos Guys, i am learning so much. keep em' coming. Big hug for Homeless and Big thumbs up to Karen for yet another brilliant edited Vid

@charleschristos1807 2 года назад

Love watching you video's. I like learning new stuff even though I'm 66 and retired.

@kenjone2254 Год назад

Watching youtr programs made me remember back when i was an apprentice aat lanwern ste3elwork in the UK. A regular job was weldind copper nozzela to mild steel lances for the LD steel converters , as mild steel could not be wqelded directly to copper a staiinless steel s pacer was inerted betwee them. My memory may be fading [ tswas the 1960s i belive the rods used wrere Stubbs 65

@TheRealFOSFOR Год назад

Nice. Very technical. We use the simple peeled ground wire technique in our pipe work. I use a stiff wire that I can bend in to a u-shape and it just hangs on top of the pipe like a hook. Welding a ground to the pipe would probably be excessive.

@jimparr01Utube Год назад

I was wondering about the different materials used until you mentioned the 'potential' problem of arcing within the device seizing it up. "Great" go I - "how come a retired electronics engineer like me could not fathom that without being informed by your good self"? Nice job and great build Sir.
