We'll take you through the entire process to tackle this beast of a job - modifying a massive suspension strut rod from a Caterpillar 784 to fit a 785 mining haul truck! We start with drilling and tapping the holes to extend the bolt pattern, and tapping 12 one inch bolts by hand gives Kurtis a serious work out! We then get the strut rod set up in our lathe and dial in the compound to perfectly match the existing taper on the rods end. We'll then machine off 100mm and machine the finishing touches to accommodate a blanking plug, before machining the taper to length. We finish it all off by tapping those hefty 1-inch bolt holes to their final depth. So, if you're curious about how we tackle these larger-than-life engineering challenges, buckle up and get ready to see some serious metal magic in action!

I have done a 3/4 inch tap don't own a 1 inch yet .. looks like too much work .. if I had a mag drill and try to do that a storm would go threw and take out the power then the mag drill would drop and brake my foot ..

@bigdaddy741098 2 месяца назад

He definitely is a machine, you got your money's worth with him. The size of the swarf was ridiculous, basically carving 1mm thick shavings by hand is what it looked like. I've tapped holes a couple of times but nothing close to that size and nowhere near that deep... I bet each hole felt like it was a metre deep by the end. I would have been cursing each hole.... Where's the Bloody End?!? Stop Turning you Bastard! Lmao

@GeorgeGeorgalis 2 месяца назад

This video was loaded with gems! The mag drill jig, button cutoff... lots. Thought Kurtis was getting a workout repositioning the mag drill but little did i know, the taps were coming up. My favorite was the ring from the piston, after the pneumatic chamfering!

@innominatum9906 2 месяца назад

I had a few plates years ago with around 40 M16x2 holes through them - and as Kurtis I only had an old beat up tap to use. I was literally beet-red and dripping with sweat despite having the doors open to the shop during the winter. Our apprentice at the shop thought he'd be funny and claim it couldnt be as hard as I made out to be. He's been doing them ever since and he's even more redfaced and tired of it than I was EDIT: I didnt even notice that Kurtis was doing 1 inch treads.. thats like 30% larger in diameter than the ones I was doing

And she'd "help" by not getting dragged into the machines, and watch as the tractor came apart every fall. Each part cleaned and lubricated and put into storage. Like gold. Reassembled, tested, and put to work. Just imagine the call to GM nowadays! I stored the engine for my Camaro for the winter, by taking it all apart, and now the head gaskets are messed up! What gives?

OK, someone owes me for a new keyboard. I spit my coffee out all over it when Karen said "I'll do my magic, you just continue to struggle"! That line was epic! Thanks for all the amazing work Kurtis.

@danielpullum1907 2 месяца назад

I saw at least two of these spindles everyday for over six months. I was building the front struts for the the 130 and 170 ton capacity trucks. I was scared to death I'd forget to put the anti seize compound on the taper before installing the wheel spindle block. It took twenty-two rounds on the bolts with a 1" air impact, to "draw/hold" the wheel spindle block to the piece you are going to shorten. A pair of 170 struts weighed 10,000# and 130's were a few hundred #'s less strapped to a pallet. That Kurtis is one brave dude@!!! I was plum rigid when he cut thru that shaft. I didn't know where that piece was going to go. It's weird watching the hole pattern when the lathe is running. It looks like the part is turning backwards. Karen, that was a real neat view in the threaded hole.

According to my employment contract I'm a "machine operator", but I'm a 99% CNC operator, give me a couple of hours and some drawings and I can do beautiful things by just punching numbers, but "manual" lathes/mills is beyond me... I can do some basic stuff, but that's it. People that say that CNC machines are more exact, I don't think they know what they are talking about, but for repeating tasks CNC machines is a god send. Like for next week I have to lathe out some grooves in some rods, 960 to be exact, without the CNC and my trusty ABB robot to do the loading I'd be crying... Keep up the great work!

Hey at least I can say I’ve used my mag drill to drill much smaller holes for nothing important!! Well extra steel for my safety lanyard attach point that I bent the original by almost falling and my safety lanyard caught me. So I’m saying that you 2 are hereby declared a Machinist’s Treasure for the layman. You have taught me so much by just telling us the basics and then as time has passed you’ve gently explained more. The explanation of zeroing out the tool to the material and working to the measurement is I’m sure intuitive to all machinists but not obvious to us watching. You are an awesome teacher. I’m sure Karen’s editing is the reason why. 😊 Always look for the new videos to drop on early Friday Morning for me on the US west coast.

@grexursorum6006 2 месяца назад

Three things... First: I am convinced, that Kurtis would prefere tapping this 12 big fat holes every time over a singe 3,5mm one 🥰 Second: You know its kind of difficult machining if Kurtis uses coolant 🙂 Third: Wouldnt it be a possibillity to use a small ipact driver for tapping sch massif threads? Something in the 100-200NM range? I guess it wouldnt break the tap if it gets stuck. Disclaimer: I have no idea as far as machning goes. So exuse me if this question was extraordinary stupid :-) Thx for shring. You two have an amazing channel here!
