mega machine shop, oversize engineering 

I miss running big machinery. 15 years running machines this size, mostly VTL's and HBM's. I own my own machine shop now but I remanufacture engines. Much smaller and incredibly simplified to run. They were also a lot cheaper to buy lol. It's a good gig but I do daydream of owning real machinery some day. Thank you for the video🍻

Love the Vid, I could watch these kinds of video's all day (Worked in a heavy foundry for the last 37 years though! ) :)

Machinist Porn : ) ... That finished product was beautiful... That piece will last for years. Sadly too few can appreciate the logistics, coordination, skill and hard work that goes into this whole process from the miners to the casters to the finishers to the field to the removal or installation... The people involved in the whole process are the gears of the machine... Salute to you all!

@them3kid yeah, the shank of the drill has coolant channels

Jeez ye wouldn get that drill bit in screw fix for £2.99lol . Looks kind of like a masonary bit? Awsome work

they are giant pipeline high pressure valves. i dont know if they are forged at all. i think they are cast only. not sure.

awesome! i dont know why but i love big machines they are awesome! keep the videos coming i always watch them!

OH!!! Cool machinery!!! I think - that man from 0:58 to 1:33 like his job!

That is so cool! I can't wait to design parts like this, or even the machines that make them, when I graduate college. Say, roughly how much does one of these valve bodies cost (once finish machined and all)? I cant even imagine what it would be, with all the time that went into making it. Plus, I assume it's just a small component (relatively, haha) of the whole project where it will be used, so the people who ordered it must be building something really interesting.

cool video, are there holes down the centre of the drill bit for the coolant to travel down or how does it get to the end of the bit?

👍 that's awesome! Neat to see what's going on in other shops. Bet not too many shops can handle that!

@TractorTorque lol, yeah the price of the replaceable tip is scary on its own!

Now that's big iron! Great video, well done.

"…looks like we're a half-a-hole off here…" :-))

that's another interesting video there! does all the waste metal from the drill get melted down and used again?

amazing video,i like too much,beause i am a technician and i can operate lathemachine also.every worke should see this video

Weldone excellent work

MASSIVE!!!! that's incredible, great video

@Polybun Your probably right, but as they say 'its all relative.' Even though I like this stuff, my current job is working on motorcycles and scooters... so this is quite a big step up from M8 x 1.25 bolts and stuff.

Thats a serious check valve....

Nice video, i like the time lapse you do.

Cast Steel? Nice job. Cool video

What kind of machine drills the holes? Ive never seen anything like it. Aren't you horrified working with it? What happens if you were to mix up an offset or something?

i love that u-drill mount to that old shcool machine

Power tools! I love them! Especially when they come with a seat. Nice drill rig!,does it also plays internet p0rn while you are waiting for the hole to come?

must be like 45 minutes per holes. coolant is of a nice brown. I wonder what is the coolant tank capacity; a 1000 gallon?

To some degree, but this still requires precision and a slight rocking murmur from the machine of 0.5mm can still stuff things up.

He he pretty old scool max cut drill, but it works. Try Yes or Ksem drills, maby 4-6 times faster, but then again very costly, and demands a stabil platform. Keep up the good work, don´t let the chinese get it all.

I work for a company who makes those bits. Two holes are drilled in the blanks and the part is heated and twisted. the holes follow the twist.

More coolant with that drill if you see smoke. Maybe this set up or machine vibrating a lot but it look very slow, i use 35meter per minute and 0,3 millimeter per round and lot of coolant ..so 50mm drill S220 and F66

1:00 extreme little machine!!! it could be a small house :D

do you think i could do that with my dewalt? i got a spare battery...

What material is the drill made of?

Why all the “old school” comments, there are loads of companies still like this , not saying they are better but tech isn’t always the way to go.

I don't think that CWB boring mill is NC controlled...

Only about 40K or less probably... It's the install and or removal, delivery and handling which drives the cost up... maybe 90-125K soup to nuts.

heavenly feel at 4:26

The bloke drilling the 70mm holes looks rushed off his feet!! :))

Just imagine if you scrap one of this parts..

Old School machining!!

Most likely spun cast then heat treated ???

my god that was a monster lovey finnish

Viendo la viruta que sale , retiembla bastante , me creo que sea la herramienta , por la longitud que tiene ,hasta que entra y hace cajera....hoy eso ya es historia , existen buenas herramientas en el mercado

Hard to believe they left the crane hooked up though. A desaster waiting to happen.

why if I was working on a big heavy lump like that Id leave the crane on it in case it moved

looks really good you guys know your shit

I'm curious, how does one land a job such as this?

y donde esta el cabezal divisor

Tungsten carbide cutting tips most likely

30 days of work????

these parts are castings.

That's just apprenticeship work

@Polybun why comment on something you know nothing about, have you even machined grey cast iron in your life?

Yet again you're commenting on something you know nothing about.

~ smarty pants~ : D

Carbide tipped Spade drill...?
