HAL Heavy Duty Machining Australia
Австралия
Добавлен 16 сен 2023
Welcome to our heavy duty machine shop. We specialise in the drilling industry and are located in Central Qld, Australia.
My name is Matt, and in a nutshell we make super heavy duty gear that drillers typically love breaking.
Hydraulic cylinders, drilling crossover subs, drill bits, recovery gear... the list goes on. If it's drilling related, we do it.
WHY HAL?
We chose to name the channel after my late grandad Hal.
After working on a drill rig since the age of 14, Grandad then "retired" from drilling at age 60 to "the machine shop" ... and then proceeded to work until his 87th birthday.
THE CHANNEL
This little channel is just about sharing some of the weird and wonderful gear we get to make in the machine shop... and how drillers manage to break it.
I upload one video a week and really appreciate all the comments from around the world. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

Making Acme Threaded Jack Clamps | Megabore Chuck Repair | Milling Lifting Bells | HTS Drill Setup
For the first time in a while, we had a more chilled week in the shop! Mostly playing catchup from the last 4 months of near pure MEGADRILL mania.
In this video we will be:
- Making Jack Leg Clamps
- Milling out a huge lifting bell
- Checking out the new HTS DRILL
- Fixing a 1000lb lathe chuck…
And just having a bunch of fun doing it! It’s all the random little stuff that keeps us from ever getting bored.

We Built a 3m (10 ft) MEGADRILL That Weighs 20 Tons! (Here's How It Works!)
Просмотров 23 тыс.День назад
In this week's video we're taking a look at the MEGADRILL. It's a 20 ton drill bit that's being constructed for drilling underground mining ventilation and rescue shafts. Powered by RC Air technology to remove cuttings, it's a unique setup that will drill three hole sizes to a final depth of 250m (over 800ft). 2.4m (7'10") 2.7m (8'10") 3.0m (Just under 10 ft!) We're almost finished with the 2.7...
Record Breaking Drill Sub (Machined With MASSIVE Shop Made Tools!)

In this week's video we'll be machining the largest drilling crossover sub we've machined in 60 years! A "saver sub" for the Big Rig, the part starts as a 900lb (400kg) billet of solid 4140, and ends up a giant thread protector. This saver subs sits directly below the drive head and will he screwed into the giant drill rods that drive our 3.0m (10ft) Megadrill an insane 250m (800ft) into the ea...

In this week's video we're finishin and test fitting the drive sub for the Big Rig auger bit which will be used to drill the first 12-15m (40 ish feet) before we send in the 3.0m (10ft) MEGADRILL. The part starts as a 1200lb (500kg) billet of solid 4140, and end up as what looks like a giant square impact driver. We'll be using our Quantum FBV-S5 Bed Mill "GODZILLA" to finish shaping out the dr...

In this week's video we're machining up the drive sub for the Big Rig auger bit which will be used to drill the first 12-15m (40 ish feet) before we send in the 3.0m (10ft) MEGADRILL. The part starts as a 1200lb (500kg) billet of solid 4140, and end up as what looks like a giant square impact driver. We'll be testing out "HAL" (our Colchester Alpha 1760's) maximum power to see if it'll run a 13...

In this week's video we're showing the full build of our most recent XL boring bar "TINY". We needed to create this big guy to build the largest crossover drill sub we've ever machined. Measuring a total length of around 3 feet long (900 mm) and a workable length of 2 feet (625mm)... this is by far the biggest tool in the shop. We'll be eccentrically machining a tapered bore to snugly fit a Ken...
Mega Drill Rods Getting Torqued Up To 65,000 ft lbs (So They'll NEVER Come Undone)

We are assembling 30 x one tonne drill rods for our big rig. We've spent the last three months machining up all the tool joints and rods, and it's finally time for them to come together. We'll be using a customised set of 20" Weatherford power tongs (often seen on big oilfield rigs) to torque the rods up to 65,000 ft lbs, and they'll be locked in using JetLok (a powerful thread locker that's li...
