The precision of the Sip Hydroptic 6A astounding. When we bought ours, with the same tooling cabinet, they gave us a certification showing its accuracy was within the 20 millionths spec quoted by Sip. They explained it was that accurate within the entire envelope of the machine travel in all directions. My absolute favorite machine of my career. Such accuracy and repeatability that it becomes difficult to run cheap machines after the Sip. I appreciate your careful handling of the tooling, they must be handled in that manner to maintain the accuracy.

@@Everythingisgoingtobealright Two important things. First, even a half decent cabinet isn't going to have the drawers just break. Second, it's generally bad practice for a company to plan 70 years out. Especially since if they're still using the same machine then it's likely they haven't advanced the business. Not even grown, just advanced. It's a luxurious cabinet, and costs a fraction of those tools prices. However, I personally would prefer to have all my tooling in "nice" cabinets instead of a small fraction in that one.

@torment2193 5 месяцев назад

In our machine shop the block you're holding at 12:13 is used together with a vice. The smaller width of the block goes in the t-slot of the machining table and the vice has a slot that's a very close tolerance fit with the wider part of the block. If you use two of those blocks it makes it really easy to set up the vice perpendicular to the t-slots of the table. Hope it helps you to figure out what it's for. Greetings from Germany😊

The stuff was only as good as the upkeep of it. I worked with a guy in IT that was a foreman at Colt up the road a bit. They had all kinds of stuff that was worn out. Management would poop bricks when an old timer would retire. Because the machines were HIS to use. In the morning when the sun came through the windows, the guys would adjust the tools a tiny bit to make the spec and then in the afternoons they would have to change them again. But they instinctively knew how much and when. My coworker couldn't take it and got into IT for banking. I just read a story in the latest issue in Collectible Automobile. About a guy (now in his 90s) that was designing fiberglass sports car bodies in the 50s. They'd lay up one half the car. Using a contraption hung from the ceiling they'd take measurements. They'd transfer them to the other side, but the contours never lined up. The metal roof was expanding during the heat of the day making the distance to the floor different. They ended up changing to a measuring system mounted on the floor and never had another issue.

@dfross87 5 месяцев назад

@@davidcat1455 I don't think he means that the non-computerised quipment is inferior. Rather that the machinists were far more skilled than today's CNC operators. Honestly, I'd love to see a video of Kurtis having a go at making one of those plate-and-plug sets like the SIP technicians did back in the day. Be a real test of both the man and his machine.

@baggerbegger 5 месяцев назад

Chill guys. He means that to machine better tooling with higher precision you can only use inferior tools. Because, you know, you're just making the best tooling so you can't already use it for this process.

You got to be impressed with the guy that ran and took care this equipment over the last 70 years

You can “ hear” how accurate the fitting is on the test piece , beautiful craftsmanship

@user-oi8yh8tk2s 5 месяцев назад

Well done mate! I inherited a 1963 Colchester lathe with the original delivery docket and the ship that it was sent to Australia on. The lathe has the original manual and every conceivable attachment as well with it in PERFECT working order. I am very fortunate (as a hobby machinist) as you are Kurtis with your machine.

Man, you guys should be called Aussie Gold, what you have there is richer than anything they can possibly find. Nice score !

The test block is an amazing item, a testament to the quality of equipment.

@scowell 5 месяцев назад

I didn't believe there could be more 'wow factor'... but that test block has EDM-like tolerances... truly amazing... here's hoping you can find all the missing bits. I now understand the 'optic' part... it has lenses you can attach!

@sapienthaggis3466 5 месяцев назад

I love seeing old machining tools still used because they are so well made they last and last . What did it for me though was Karen's wee ooohs when each box and shelf is opened . Love your videos Curtis and Karen and Homeless much love and many hugs from Scotland .

This is like looking at fine art, irreplaceable. Glad machine found the perfect caretaker.

@CaptainBill22 5 месяцев назад

Gotta love pre-planned obsolescence machines. Even the boxes the tooling comes in is top notch.

@maxnex7676 5 месяцев назад

I was expecting "so shiny" from Karen throughout the video but had to wait for the outtakes 🤣. A couple of things struck me was how well the tools had been kept for the past 60 odd years and they could not have found a better home with CCE, an amazing collection. Thank you for the tour.

@user-do8ul2zi4v 5 месяцев назад

And we can probably assume that Kurtis will take such good care of the main unit and the tools that they will make it to the 100 year mark.

@sadmule 5 месяцев назад

Holy molly that OG test piece from at install is wicked impressive. Even full DRO CNC would be needed for most gear out jow to make those kinda tollerances

@Stefan_Kawalec 5 месяцев назад

That jig borer is an amazing, very well thought machining system. Test plate made me speechless.

@Andrew_Fernie 5 месяцев назад

That collecton of tooling is nothing less than stunning.

@paulcurtis2779 5 месяцев назад

Just incredible, absolutely amazing. Someone really took a lot of thought into building all the parts, tools and the machine. I would guess there is NOTHING even close the capabilities of the SIP machine today. So glad you have it because I know you'll keep it working and preserved. . . WOW

@DDB168 5 месяцев назад

I hope there are other SIP machines still out there (in Australia). I cant bare the thought they've been scrapped 🤞🤞

@donparker8246 5 месяцев назад

I was a machinist for only a short time and I was blown away at the complexity of all that tooling. I'm sure there were some people looking at it that were salivating. Not only do you have some incredible pieces of hardware there, you have a wealth of history as well. I can't wait to see how these tools are used in videos. That was an incredible find Kurtis. Cheers from the US my friend😁👍🇺🇸

I'm literally drooling. What a score you guys!

@Curt-dc6cd 5 месяцев назад

Be proud of what you have been able to bring together in that set. I think you have a museum quality collection, especially when you include the original paperwork. Who knows, maybe someday you'll be able to hunt down those other machines, or maybe just some more unique tooling. Keep being you Kurtis, your love for these machines, is coming back, with the machines rewarding you.

@ryangilbert6452 5 месяцев назад

What an amazing collection! Could not have found a better home. Your stewardship and passion are palpable. Congratulations!

@SinisterMD 5 месяцев назад

I find it incredibly sad that some of the best tools just aren't made anymore. We'd rather make junk and throw it away than try to machine or repair it. Bless you for doing what you do and keeping these sorts of tools alive.

@douglasthompson2740 5 месяцев назад

The whole set is breath taking in its accuracy, but for simple elegant operation the cabinet is tops. Hard to wrap your head from today's world around that kind of attention to detail and finish.

@jamiegibson1010 5 месяцев назад

The collection of tooling for that machine is incredible. Even more incredible is the condition of everything. But wait, there's more, your knowledge of how these tools work is outstanding. Well done folks.

@alexanderSydneyOz 5 месяцев назад

The tooling certainly found its way to the right place, eh?

@DrewMarold 5 месяцев назад

Wow, you really scored on this one. That cabinet is awesome, and I'm blown away by the sample plate and how precise the alignment is.

@highdeluchs909 5 месяцев назад

About 14 years ago I worked on a Hauser Jig grinding machine. Absolutely amazing. Build in the 60s or so. Tolerances about +/- 0.001 were no problem.

@christopherrankine1364 5 месяцев назад

What an absolute treasure trove of tooling! I’m so pleased that it’s now found an owner who will care for it.

@ultimatemonkey 5 месяцев назад

That is an insane tooling collection! I love old tools, especially ones where over their lifetime, the owners actually cared about them! That mill and drill collection at 70 years old is nicer than almost anything you can buy today. I'm just a home machinest, but you 2 make me wish I had a much bigger shop just so i have the space for the amazing older machines !

@ahsokatano6059 5 месяцев назад

very cool to have a old tool that can do things that nobody else can do, truely opens more jobs

@micheltymkiw1944 5 месяцев назад

A real treasure...it's magnificent...instruments that you would almost be afraid to hold in your hands.

@nunyafugginbizness523 5 месяцев назад

Once again, a man, a plan and perfection. His ability to see something in his mind, and the ability to produce that image in cold hard steel is uncanny. Kurtis, your attention to detail is mind boggling. In a time when "Good enough" seems to be the go-to, it's nice to see someone with the attitude of "It aint F'n done till I say it's done!" I love the video's, keep em coming!

@christhamilton42 5 месяцев назад

You must have been stoked to find all that tooling in that condition. I'm just stunned at the quality and condition of it all. Even if I didn't have a use for it I would have wanted that gear. It's like art or jewelry for engineers. Good to see the borer back in action too.
