Ahhh the good old JCB engineering strikes again. I have seen so many JCB excavator booms cracking, simply because there isn't enough metal. And the holes or bores are to close to the edges. As an aircraft mechanic this is one of the first things you get taught. Space your holes far enough from each other and not to close to the edges.
We live not too far from JCB operations. You might have thought the schools would be throwing everything into a mathematical or technical education. Only 2 kids at my sons school took further maths A level, my lad and another girl, the vast majority are learning to tap dance, rap or play the banjo. No wonder we are in the mess we are.
Just found you, my dad welded farm equipment for a living until he passed, and I never understood what he exactly did, apart from that it was heavy, sometimes backbreaking work, that there was a lot of smoke and light, and that it was dangerous. Until now. The light just went on as I watched this. I respect him now more than ever for what he did to put bread on the table, and it saddens me that he never passed on his skill. Thank you for putting this on RUclips.
Sorry to say it but, maybe if you had gone out of the house and offered to help him, you’d have learned a valuable trade while you had the chance. He probably asked or even begged you to help and show some interest but you probably refused and your mother always took your side and he just gave up because it was easier to work alone than have to fight both you and your mother. I see it all the time.
@@williamthomas9463totally agree with you, when I was a kid my dad couldn’t get rid of me, whatever he was doing I was helping. I’m always in my garage now working on engines and vehicles, or in the house fixing things, putting up shelves, plumbing etc. If I say to the boy’s to help or to learn they are not interested, or they get bored after 5 minutes because working on a vehicle or engine doesn’t involve an app I worry about the future generations, less and less skill It’s all about making silly video’s and being an influencer nowadays.

I’m a IT-manager, working in an office my entire life. I’ve watched all your videos now and it’s so much more interesting than what I do. Excellent craftmanship! Thank you for sharing.
I use to be an analyst programmer but i have quit and now run my little goat homestead providing my family with 100% organic food. I buy up old equipment (tractors, excavators and such) and restore them. Ofcourse on a smaller scale and level then snowball. I'm always surprised at how many other IT'ers do this kind of 180° turn in life. For myself i felt like life was passing me by, every day is the same. There is always the next project and an office is such a politicaly hazardous enviroment. But then that was just me.
I do like the procedures that you employ to make things come out right. One example is using runoff tabs. I do not see many people in the general repair shops I haunt use them when they should be. (yes I use them). I find that many,( not all) people on You Tube tend to cheat on good procedure when making repairs. Those small things such run as run off tabs, bracing, line up tabs, proper root opening etc... do make a big difference the end and don't take all that much longer to do. Well done and well presented sir. Cheers
Well said sir, you took the words right out of my mouth. For "a bloke in a shed" he does well thought out work. Better than some of the bigger fab shops I have audited.
@@snowballengineering Perhaps in your circle of friends and acquaintances but having worked with and on heavy equipment all of my life I've seen far too many jobs like this butchered because one step of the puzzle was left out. Don't sell yourself short!
Nice shot there at 1:58 with the building and the sky. Sun, perspective, thirds, textures, colors, everything. Plus the alien with the Laser Wappen of course.
Great Tradesman. CEE has clock in the background just to give viewers an accurate indication of how long this type of work actually takes. It is time consuming. You guys have to be fit to stand up all day doing this hard work. Well Done.
Nice work. The setup gauge for your line bore brought a smile to my face. People who buy shiny tools off the tool trucks look at tools like that and wonder what someone was thinking. I see it applied and say "Well Done"
Dear Snowball Engineering,hi this is Declan O Shaughnessy Galway Ireland simply a 100% well done job took everything into account and produced a great job 👍👍👍 cheers Declan 👍🙏🙏
Just came across your channel you do brilliant work and good to see someone like this here in the uk You and cutting edge engineering would be a great team
Coming from CEE, my first impression after the first few seconds was that this place needs a real cleanup. At least for me, it would have made the video more enjoyable to watch if the work area/shop and work item were tidy and clean(ish). But thats me, I'll bet most people dont care :)
@polarbearchimney8128 CEE is on a totally different planet than this outfit. not suitable to use the word engineering here. CEE does things correctly, has the skills, knowledge, and equipment to do a precise job. on this channel, I don't see the safety officer anywhere
@@polarbearchimneygive the lad a break, he is doing a fantastic job, no bodge work in this workshop just true honest precision work all on his own working for himself. Not many of his kind around. The old saying a workshop too tidy equals not enough work. Congratulations Oliver on your hard work.
I like your frugal line boring setup. The thrust bearings in the drill aren’t designed to be stressed in the reverse direction. The purpose built commercial line boring power heads are ridiculously expensive! Nice repair.
I am constantly amazed at the ability of you practical guys. Me, I'm a plant man but i'm fascinated when watching metal working and machining videos Thanks for the entertainment and all the best in your future
At the 1st of the video when you were cutting those ears off, my thought was that you had been taking lessons from Issac, I C Weld. You’re as good as he is. I couldn’t even get close. Thank you Sir.
I agree. That is why the drillpress is without a drawbar but a mill has one. The force when you push the drill against the workpiece keeps the taper in place. In these kind of jobs my personal opinion is that pushing is superior to pulling. But everyone is free to do as they see fit 👍🏼😋!
Looking good! One small tip -that'll save you a little money; Put your camera behind a welding filter or the arc will burn the photo-sensor- (EDIT) Ookay, since others have made it clear the reason my cameras failed can't have been due to the sensors getting burned, I'll append to this post: Using a filter will make it easier to see the welding without the arc whiting everything out... And thank you @SCH sch What you said made sense and offered a probable cause to why my camera's crapped out on me
@@GaisaSanktejo CMOS sensors are not susceptible to optical damage from welding level light, though high power lasers can damage the sensor (metal cutting power levels) Maybe the damage was from electrical noise/EM radiation from the particular welding setup you were photographing.
RUclips recommended me to your channel. This is the first video I've viewed. My instant impressions are - that you are highly skilled and talented. I learned alot about something I know next to nothing about and I totally respect how you did a high quality job and at the same time improvised with what equipment you had. All in all I really enjoyed it. Thank you! - I just subscribed!
If there is enough room in the opening to fit those thicker ears. It makes you wonder why JCB continue to use the skinny ones. Perhaps they just hope people will keep buying new buckets. Another good video. Enjoying your channel.
Baffles me, it’s not like it’s a one off problem, it’s a common issue and has been for years. Must be to save money, lasts long enough to be out of warranty then it’s not their problem. Thanks!
First class repair - better than a new one. Looks as though that profiler has already paid for itself in a previous life but my mate has one even older. Only just discovered your channel - makes a change from listening to Aussie accents.
Never thought about using a mag drill for a line boring but in this application it works beautiful you’re really not doing hydraulic cylinders where it has to be attached to the cylinder end very impressive work
Our JCB 320 did the same thing i priced out a new replacement for it and it was 4500 bucks so i did the same thing you did come out good and works well .
Really enjoyed the video. It was very informative. I was wondering if it would be possible to let us know how many total hours were invested in this project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Keep up the good work.
Nice line bore setup it works like a champ just a lil under powered and you didnt have to sell your first born to bore a hole:) I like it now i want 1. Were did you get that boring bar?
What a great honest channel. Zero BS and just humble quality content. Subscribed ✔️ Another useful tip for you. Be careful you don't damage your camera sensor. Bright light such as arc gouging welding is the same as a laser and can kill a camera with the electronic version of arc eye. Try to mount a sheet of welding glass in front of the camera
@Snowball Engineering it's easy to burn the sensor and lose pixels from light exposure from welding etc. A camera sensor is very similar to a human eyeball and the light intensity will cause damage
Great work fella. Whilst you said the chatter didnt effect surface finish, Ive found you can rap the boring bar to absorb chatter with either rope and tape, sheet lead & hose clamps or leather'n tape. And if the magbase drill speed can be reduced, try that. Whilst not in a lathe, Ive found with chatter on finish cut on lathe work one can choose a small radius tip cutting tool.
Hi from Sweden. For some reason i only just now saw your channel. And damn if you dont do amazing work, it might look a little sketchy at times but as you say "it gets the job done". Really impressed with your skill
CAD, cardboard aided drawing, old but still works, especially if your out in a field with no power. Your welds look like wax was melted into the groove, perfect. I have a lot to practice, problem is I don't do it every day, maybe once or twice a month at most.
Pulling the tool through puts the bar under tension reducing bending, pushing the tool through can cause the bar to bend just slightly but it's enough to notice.
JCB has made good machinery for decades. Seems the bean counters are cutting back the amount of metal required for longevity. Have to pay for those offices in those glass towers somehow.
The mag drill line boring jig was and excellent tip for DIYers! I also really liked the vise grip clamp on depth gauge to set tool height Both excellent.
I quite thank you for the views to such quality. In particular the guide points as line boring. *The choice to pull the cutter rather than push to cutting surface was a key bit. Also, where the weldment had an end pad, later discarded, to allow for the weld to best finish. While I seldom now execute such large jobs, I try to learn best technique and you meet and exceed as the best worksmanship. I simply hope to meet the standard you set as delivery to customer. My personal regards. McGary
Greetings Mate. I liked your indicator holder. Simple, quick, and all you had to do was invest 1 pair of channel lock pliers ! Did you think of that, or you saw something like it somewhere ? Nice job you did. I use a mag drill also. Cheers from the States. Peter
Common fault done 3 of these in the last 12 months. Got all the templates saved for the whole tip link bracket. Got it down to 4 hours to replace. Nice bit of inline boring but what about the main pivot on the headstock. Looking like that needs attention too
I have the template for the pin and cone. Got 4 in the yard which have either had the pin come out or broken out. Customer didn’t want the main pivot doing.
@@snowballengineering 2 have been where the pins pulled though n 1 where the material completely failed and had sheared off completely. Matbro doo the same done a couple of those too😂
I love that mag drill rig you made. How do you make sure youre lined up dead center on the bore hole? In my head I imagine those centering cones being off by some amount.
Just by taking lots of measurements off of reference points and an angle gauge. Centring cones are good to get somewhere near while I clamp the bearing plates on.

The gearbox noise may be because you are pulling. The thrust bearings are designed for quill extension, not retraction.
