@michaelbyrnee9584 2 года назад

@@blackburn1111 With help from a neighbor, who knew about my mechanical abilities, and who was a big boss at one of the mills there, I went from a high school dropout to tool & die maker apprentice, roughing out and finishing explosive bolt sets, helping a small group machine thrust domes, and working on other contracts for the Apollo Moon project. When the NASA work came to an end, I worked at the Point for another few months until 12,000 engineers and machinists were paid off (me included). I never worked in that industry again, but what I learned there in three years was an enormous help in subsequent businesses. My favorite Point story was one that I actually witnessed. A group of half a dozen guys were sent down to inspect a tunnel used to carry gas lines from the coke ovens to Baltimore City. We were equipped with respirators, HD flashlights, and two-way radios. Nobody had been in that tunnel since the end of WWII. we had only gone a few hundred feet when we came upon a makeshift table, four makeshift chairs, four poker hands had been dealt, and on the four chairs were the desiccated remains of the four poker players. Each of the men still carried ID and ring of tool checks. Apparently, the men all worked on graveyard shift, and every night, they would leave their machines to their helpers while they went underground to play cards. One night, there was a huge gas leak which probably killed the men instantly. The company reportedly placed the four on AWOL status and terminated them, not knowing the men had never left the job that fateful day.

Is it a big lathe, Yes. Largest? No way. Working in a factory years back, the lathe at the next work station had a 144" (12 foot) swing and a 50 foot attached bed plus a long, unattached sub bed. Across the aisle was a 'little' 84" swing, 25 foot long bed. There were larger in a different department making steam turbine rotors

I worked on a 24" hollow spindle. The steady rest was out in the steelyard on a chain trolley. Manual API thread repair of tool-steel subs, casings, and drill rod. Had to stab the little door, and both sets of jaws. When I turned the tool steel I had to specially grind my tool into what was called a spoon. 20 rpm, feed-rate, min .060", 3/8 depth. Engaged cross feed and lateral feed simultaneously to hog off the end. The shaving came off glowing, then turned a nice blue, razor sharp. It would snake around my lathe and I kept an eye on it (among other things), ready to redirect if it with my broom handle if it got hung up.

I'm surprised this video is not very old. Let me offer you some advice: 1. Abandon the bell clanging plea to subscribe -and especially doing it 6 TIMES IN A SINGLE 8 MINUTE VIDEO!! God, that was annoying. Either that, or this could become a drinking game... 2. Find a narrator for your videos. It shouldn't be too expensive if you do a little homework. Maybe someone on Fivr will do it for you if you don't have a decent microphone and voice yourself. 3. If you add text to a video, either outline it in black, or do a drop shadow. But it is very hard to read when your background is moving. Hell, you could just as well re-edit these videos and black out the original text and overlay white text over that and call it good. What's funny is that there is a single instance of a black-outlined block of text towards the end that tells me this entire video might have been lifted from other sources and stitched together with multiple editors with different ideas about how to add information. 4. Assume the viewer does not understand what they are looking at without some general explanation. You won't be insulting the people that do but the unaware viewer will at least better comprehend the significance of the machinery rather than just showing random items moving around without any context. And if you aren't able to convey such context, then you aren't ready to publish the video and have further homework to do! Good luck with your future videos!

I worked in NDSM in Amsterdam where I was told that the largest lathe that they owned was reputed to be the largest in the world and the first time I saw it there were four men standing on the toolpost with room for more. I honestly could not believe it was a lathe at first until I witnessed a large marine crankshaft being turned. That was back in 1965 and sadly NDSM closed about twenty years or so after. The scale of the machinery in the large machine shop was like a giant fairy tale and I am so glad to have worked for them.

I have worked on them for couple of years. Very impressive they were.

@prestonburton8504 2 года назад

@@vigormanh2980 yes - the largest are specialized Bullard's made for the power industry that cut the forms used to make heat treated pipe, couplings, elbows and bell fittings. As of six years ago, they still used hydraulic stylus pens that edge follow large patterns that repeat the contour shape on the forms. These forms are then used as mandrels during forging process and before final heat treat (38RC but i've seen 48RC on treats) - very high pressure superheated steam in primary loops. We are waiting for them to finally decide to go CNC but union opposition as well as certification of process stops this. Actually, that is in texas and mexico plants. Some of our shipbuilding plants cut ship pistons on large cnc now - but the largest is an asquith manual 30ft table that was made in the 30s and i've actually worked on the one in newport news shipbuilding - hand made by them in early 1900s and is used to make propellers and parts of the shaft drive line including the final part that gets fitted into the hull. I dont know if its been converted to cnc yet.

For the final product perhaps. But machine tool accuracy is required for certain operations such as the flatness of turbine shaft flanges, straightness of gun barrel bores etc. These require accurate machine tools. The machine tool fitters are the ones who assemble the various machine pieces and adjust and fit the pieces to achieve this accuracy.

@BasementEngineer 10 месяцев назад

Not that difficult once you know how. Very large machine tools are assembled from numerous smaller subassemblies which can be machined on much smaller machine tools. Take a lathe bed for say 100+ feet of length for ship tail shafts and ship's gun barrels. The lathe is assembled on a concrete block to give the bed stiffness. The bed guide ways are assembled from smaller length sections each of a length to suit the available machine tool size, say 16 feet long each. Thus 10 of these 16 ft long section would be assembled into one long lathe bed. Fitting these pieces together to permit machining of accurate gun barrel bores is an art unto itself, requiring much experience and trial+error work in the beginning. Nowadays optical and laser alignment testing equipment makes that job much more predictable and easier.

how many people can this lathe?

@MrUtubeobia 2 года назад

I would hate to be the one that screws up one of those big shafts.

@1pcfred 2 года назад

We were making a large live center and screwed up the milled slot in it. So we just welded it up and milled it again. But yeah it's not a good thing to do. Still with metal you can get away with doing that. The foreman was all over the guy that screwed it up for a while. I doubt the customer was ever the wiser though.

But who made the lathe that made this lathe ?

@ronaldhill7180 7 месяцев назад

Oh yeah, I run parts like this at work. Sure, I do. About that size, give or take a few feet.

I think biggest lathe lies in vertical. This is just a long lathe.

How do you define largest lathe? This may be the longest between centers but it certainly isn't the biggest swing

That first piece of steel seems to be the ram of an IHC IQIP hydraulic impact hammer ? (could be Menck as well)

When you gotta get the special catalogue to order inserts you know that it's good.

The music was a major distraction. If I wanted music, I would turn to a radio and be able to choose something other than pounding bass thumps.

My harbor freight lathe could turn that shaft as long as I oil it well before starting.

@tonywright8294 6 месяцев назад

Don’t forget to remove the chuck key before starting 🤣
