CAT D10 Dozer Cylinder Rebuild | Part 2 | Making the New Barrel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2024
- This video is part 2 of rebuilding a Caterpillar D10R dozer blade tilt hydraulic cylinder. In this episode we are machining, welding and honing to make the new cylinder barrel. We start with machining a piece of 10 ¾” x 9 ¼” Unhoned steel tube to prep it for the head flange and barrel end cap. We then fit and metal core weld the head flange onto the new barrel before finish honing the internal diameter using our Delapena vertical honing machine. The barrel end is positioned on the barrel and tack welded in place. We then make up the barrel torque tube using a piece of hollow bar. We cut the length of hollow bar to size in our horizontal bandsaw and then set it up in our lathe. We turn down the outer diameter before preparing for welding by machining and boring each end of the tube. The torque tube is positioned on the barrel and tack welded in place. We then finish up with metal core welding the end cap and torque tube on to the barrel.

- TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- Everising H-360HA horizontal bandsaw

hey its FRIDAY
Have a good weekend mate 😎👊💥
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering you also have a great weekend ,, keep up the great work you are doing ..
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Love your work Man, almost 100K Subs for you. Shows that you are presenting what people like. John, Australia.
Another great video, I've always wondered why coolant used on some cuts and not others just would like to know. Peace from Colorado
There’s three legends on this channel. Curtis, the patient missus filming and laughing at him and the four legged safety officer. Awesome friggin channel.
Hey mate cheers we appreciate the support! 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringI follow you 💯 from # YSW 🇨🇦 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you from Monteleone family keep up all of the great work you are doing and please don't stop keep going on making videos 😊😊😊😊😊
I’ve just watched a 40 plus minute video on a subject I know absolutely nothing about but enjoyed every bit of it- well, except the adds which I don’t give a shit about. Actually, I suffered through those with the hope it helps monetarily for you guys. But, television shows, as a whole, are full of crap and are generally unsatisfying. But, I thoroughly enjoy this content. I don’t truly understand a lot of what or why things are done, despite Kurtis’ succinct explanations, but it I’m learning. Thank you for the videos. Looking forward to the next one. You both be safe.
I'm just one in a million of your viewers who avidly look forward to each episode. I greatly admire your engineering skills, your wife's patience and photography skills. I also enjoy that rare little beast, your dog... from Orlando USA
I don't know what I like more, the engineering or the dog clips!
I’m fascinated with machining, also Karen’s editing of videos enhances the final video. Thanks for your hard work. I think you are educating the world.
Your newer videos with commentary are just as informative as before and more entertaining. The vidrography is also even better and more entertaining. Not often you get to be informed, educated and entertained. The bloopers at the end are a hoot.
Seeing a craftsman operate at this level is like watching a concert pianist at a command performance.
That’s nice to say about homeless. Kurtis is pretty good at his job too
It’s good to see the star of the show wearing his new bright green PPE. Great video as always. 👍👍
Got to keep his fans happy 😂🐕👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Good Morning Curtis. Your channel has me regretting my career choice. Wish I had done this for a living. Oh well. I really enjoy your channel and the way you present your material. Your wife does a fantastic job with the filming and editing as well. What is the Safety Officers name?
@@ezrhino1803 Homeless, aka Homey.
Hi Kurtis, the world is crazy. I live right on the other side of the world and I'm happy every time new videos come from CEE. Always nice to see a professional approach to things. And a big thumbs up to the camera lady - great close-ups and well done slomos. Stay tuned, rock the machines and have a nice weekend.
Ich mache seit gut vier Wochen fast nichts anderes, als eure Videos zu schauen. Ich habe von 1980 bis 1984 Maschinenbauer gelernt und ich musste in meinem Arbeitsleben auch viel schweißen. Ich liebe es sehr und es gefällt mir, wie ihr aus alten und kaputten Teilen wieder neue oder brauchbareTeile anfertigt. Man sieht, dass ihr Freude an eurem Job habt und ihn echt total beherrscht. Vielen Dank für die vielen angenehmen Videos. Grüße aus Bayern, Deutschland.
Hallo Freund, wow, vielen Dank! Schön, von Ihrer Karriere als Ingenieur zu hören! Es ist eine tolle Branche! Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen unsere Videos gefallen, und hoffen, dass Sie sie auch weiterhin genießen! Pass auf dich auf, mein Freund!
Great video. I’m always intrigued in the story - would you consider a video talking about yourself and your company - how you trained, decisions to start for yourself, how you chose the equipment, what equipment you regret buying or has been great - proper shop your, and what plans you have going forward. The quality of the work is phenomenal- be proud of your work mate.
Hey mate! Thanks heaps for the feedback some great ideas for a video or 2 there will definitely do something along those lines. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Beautiful Staffordshire bull, I miss my boy.
Once again those tailstock live chucks are brilliant. Good to see you keeping your knees off the concrete my friend. I can't remember if you have a belting or pad to stand on at each machine ? if not your hips and back sure want them. I love big and as that Dundee fella would say, "That's a boring bar" LOL. You folks make such great videos. I can almost feel and smell all the sensations I had for sooooo many years. As always, Thanks a bunch and take care eh.
Love this stuff. I think we tend to take it all for granted. Small marvels are hidden in non descript industrial sheds all across the nation. Mastery of heavy things with precision things. Kind of reminds us all of what makes our lives possible. Good, worthy honest work. Great stuff Kurtis. Love the out takes! Thanks for inviting us into your day(s).
I ran a company filming guitar lessons for a number of years, same problem with the camera. As soon as I turned it on - my talent, a 40 year professional teacher and player would need 15 takes to get his words out. Awesome video - looking forward to the next one!
Karen! Thank you for all of the videos! Kurtis is the man! You are the woman! I miss machine shop work. It meant so much to me. I love you both. God bless you!
First time i've seen a lathe chuck used like that (on the tailstock) :)). Brilliant.
Hey mate we've got a video on our channel showing how I made it 😎👍
I love the outtakes at the end, , they always have me smiling…
That is the smartest OHS Officer i have ever seen
😂👌 he's a good boy
I don't know why I love watching this while putting on makeup in the morning. But your videos make my morning complete. Thank you for your awesome content ^.^
Haha awesome glad you can enjoy them and thanks for watching 😎👍
@from the dark side of the moon xD
This is the best channel on RUclips, you get a doggo, great filming and editing, perfect welds, slow mo shots, workmanship that's second to none and to top it off we get the F word bloopers reel at the end. So glad I found this channel. 10/10. 🇦🇺 🏴☠️
Hey mate far out that's an awesome comment thanks for saying so! We appreciate the support glad you enjoy it. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering no worries at all, it takes me back to my younger days engineering and I wish I stuck with it but it just didn't work out. 🇦🇺
Fuckin aye... And I love it coz he’s Aussie and not too far from me, so I can relate. Best engineering channel on RUclips I reckon.
@@madaxe79 100% agree
@@adropbear09 it’s funny, you spend your life doing something, but then you see someone else do it a little different and it’s like a revelation. I’ve never done hydraulic work, cylinders and such, I’ve always done power transmission work, but there’s so many little tricks that crossover that you don’t realise until you see it...
Really enjoy watching your videos. Didn't know how much work it takes to do these type of repairs. Many skills needed
Absolutely fantastic watching this channel grow to over 100k subscribers. Congratulations, Curtis, Wife (I only put this as I don't know what else to put. Not out of a lack of recognition as she clearly works very hard recording and editing and who knows what else), and of course, everyone's favorite four-legged safety officer, Homey! I hope you continue to grow your audience so more people get to see these amazing processes first hand and perhaps inspire others to follow in your footsteps.
Hey mate thanks for the awesome comment and all the support! We really appreciate it. Cheers 😎👍
Perfect, couldn't sleep. Now I got something to do...thanks folks, appreciate all the interesting videos.
Enjoy mate hope you get some beauty sleep soon 😎👍
Damn, those were some pretty freaking welds. I have never seen anything better than that.
Yeah was pretty happy with those myself 😂👍 cheers mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Weld Porn.
Do you pre-heat / post-heat them? NDT?
@@mikelammi3088 Most of the time Kurtis will have the part still hot from the expansion pre-heat for assembly and therefore at a suitable pre-heat temperature ready for welding.
As a retired auto mechanic and amateur machinist I always enjoy watching your work but today it occurred to me that the biggest pleasure of watching your channel is the truly excellent camera work by your wife (I assume), really great framing, focus and close-ups. Thanks for all the efforts you both make to provide these videos! I also appreciate that you confine the swearing to the outtakes as I personally prefer to skip that.
Thnx for the video Kurtis. That honing machine is almost as old as i am, but looks like it's in better working condition. Those closeups of cHips flying are mesmerizing.
Also your background music is great, i'd be very interested to know more about that too.
And last but not least... the out takes at the end of your videos that show of you being human are wonderful!
God Bless, thanks again!!
Excellent video. I love when you have to explain you're not a moron when you weld on the lathe.
41:49 minutes and you make it look like 5....Karen your editing and camera work are superb.......Kurtis, your efficiency is wonderful to watch, wishing you and the whole family all the best, thank you for making our day start on an uplifting note.....Cheers, PB

Just paused the video to see if anyone else had commented on that boring bar, it’s brilliant!!! 👍
@@mark111943 I seen that & thought, "Ouch!" Kind of interesting what something like that would cost, if you could even find 1.

@@markmuldoon7044 Yep, that's why I said IF you could find 1.
My favourite machine is a lathe. I was ten years old when I started working at my dad’s tube bending business. To this day I love the smell of cut medal and cutting oil
WELL WE KNOW ITS FRIDAY we have a video to watch ..
TGIF 😂👍 enjoy mate!
Except it's Saturday there already. Oh well we'll be an hour closer on Sunday. Clocks go forward one hour at 2am Sunday morning so we loose an hour of sleep. Takes 'till next Friday to catch-up. Stupid bloody system. They're trying to cancel it but Quebec and New York won't play fare so Ontario's screwed again. Or is it still? Good video Kurtis and Mrs Kurtis. Boss dog's h-ivis coat looks good. Is it cold or did he just want to wear it?
@@ronwilken5219 The only things cold in Queensland are the beers, the drinks fridge and the air conditioning! Even in their winter (summer time in the Northern Hemisphere) the best you can describe the morning weather as is chilly.
I am given you the different F ffffffff of the year award. You win hand down. Yourwork ethics is brilliant and educational, thank you for your video and the details of your repairs. Love the atmosphere you both have it come across in the video. Bottle it as it is a best seller. Greetings from Dublin Ireland bless you both and the dog.
Cheers mate!! What a great comment we really appreciate it. Thanks for watching over there 😎👍
Glad to hear that you explained the procedure to protect the bearings in the lath and using anti spatter on the piece of equipment, along with the protection of the blanket! In all the years that I was a welder, I only ever saw one bearing that had been arced thru, and that was a D 10 main bearing in the drive train !!
The safety officer runs a tight ship. Another great video of content as well as video quality. Thnx for having me.
Yeah he's always keeping an eye on things 🤣 thanks for watching 😎👍
You have the best band saw that I have ever seen! What a great addition to a metal working shop that is. Always a joy to watch you doing class work.
Hi Kurtis and Karen,
Another fine video you two. Glad I stumbled onto your channel and stay awake late. I see the shop inspector received a new toy. The outtakes are great. Kudos to the one that does the editing. You all stay safe.
Hey Don! Thanks for taking time to watch and drop a great commen we appreciate the support. Cheers 😎👍
I must say this was probably the very best production quality to date! Great imagination on the zoom in and zoom out shots. The outtakes at the end demonstrate the absolute professionalism and most importantly patience of the Mrs. The clip of the dog when he got the chew toy was priceless, he looked genuinely pleased.
Thanks for the great content!
It's a real treat to watch a good engineer at work, with no BS commentary like a lot of other channels I've seen. Excellent work as usual. Love the honing machine, very hypnotic, I'm asleep already.
Hey mate! Yeah i'm not a fan of the BS commentary, imagine the amount of outtakes I would have hahaaaa Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
always a pleasure to get to watch such a talented Trio doing what they love, Wow, 13,407 view and 366 comments in only 5 hours, you are on a Metor path on U Tube,,,,,,Cheers
Absolutely love your videos I’m not a machinist but I’ve done some machine work I’m not a welder but I’ve done some welding you on the other hand are a professional and I appreciate that. Now just remember as much as you know, don’t run with scissors, don’t kick your dog, don’t holler at your wife, don’t eat crayons, don’t eat yellow snow among other things. As accomplished as you are I’m sure you figured out how to take care of your equipment and cover the ways on your lathe etc. I know making these videos is time consuming and editing is probably a pain in the neck, we do appreciate your effort.
Never seen a safety officer with a bigger grin than than the one at 20:17 :-). Cheers to all three of you from Canada 🇨🇦!
Your advice on tacking in the lathe-just super. As always. Thanks!
Kurtis must be an editor's nightmare, so a shout out to the editor for an awesome job. The skills of you both makes for great viewing. Cheers.
Really love that you two care about making the production better, too!
Antonmursid
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇲🇨
What sets you apart from most is your no wasted steps, efficiency because you are in business. As a contractor, I appreciate that.
Love watching that honing machine, the cross hatched finish is stunning. Top work Kurtis, only complaint is we need more videos! But I always look forward to my Friday viewing.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. You have amazing skills and the equipment repairs you do are top notch. Thanks for sharing all the way through the projects. Your camera person does a great job and the tugging dog is great, Thanks Mark , Arvada Colorado USA
I love watching a skilled machinist makes parts and make it look easy, but I have to admit the best part of these vids are the dog, and his wife laughing at him. LOL
gotta love the mix of detail in the shots between the main turning and prep work that goes into the set up. The shot in the tube on the horizontal saw showing the break through was cool as hell
A good Turner knows straight away how to approach a job plus has all the aids and tooling to achieve a good finished part. Knew many good turners from the large engineering company I worked in .
Belfast UK 👍❤💙🇬🇧
Kurtis, love the channel, coming from a trade background myself I appreciate that it is people like you that keep the wheels of the economy turning by keeping the wheels turning or the tracks clattering as the case may be. A pity that a lot of our touchy feely types don't. Always enjoy the out takes as it is a welocme relief from the sterile envoironment where I have been for the last 20 years, keep em coming digger cheers
Hey Tim thanks for watching mate appreciate you taking time to comment too. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Highlight of the week for me, with a few beers, when I got on the lathe the machinists used to call me Timmy Tip Breaker, Diesel mechanc by trade have a goody mate cheers
Well done guys it can't be easy talking while doing these complex jobs, and especially well edited to keep it interesting and entertaining.
Hey mate thanks!
That is a very capable lathe and you are a man who is even more capable! You do very top shelf work. I am talking standing on a 3 step ladder because it is way up there! Thanks for bringing us along in your shop and a shout out to the wonderful Lady who your filming! Hey I like the dog as well, nice operation
Dude I was part of a machine shop for a very short time when I entered the USMC truly old school stuff. I have mad respect for you, the amazing thought process and the amount of detail you go through to do what you do is just mind boggling. If I needed this type of remediation done I would never use anyone else.
Hi Kurtis, imagine years back when they did not have Carbide inserts and only had HSS, would have spent most of their time grinding tool bits.
Nothing like a stout boring bar, didn't see any perceptable deflection on that one.
Good job as usual.
Yeah bugger that, glad that some things have been invented and improved for today's jobs. Thanks for watching mate 😎👍
Even worse, back before they invented the HSS tool blank you had to forge, quench, temper and grind your own carbon steel tools. Then make a cut at painfully low speed to avoid annealing the edge.
Been hanging out for this lol your channel is so good mate no shit 🤙🏽
Hope this helps the withdrawals 😂 Cheers mate thanks for watching
Top quality engineering and editing as per usual.
I have a male Bully/Staff and a female Frenchie myself so Homeless just makes me smile.
You can tell he’s a proper empty head when he wants to be 😉👍🏼
That's money in the bank!
I love preventive maintenance!
When you are wise enough to look ahead and be pro active you deserve the "attaboy"!
Watching these videos at 36 years old, making me want to go back and become a machinist, I already have 3 mechanic courses, but no work haha
Mate go for it!
This channel gets better everypost.. 40mins of precision machining porn..
Have a great weekend🍺🍺 regards Patchy
Hey mate! We really appreciate comments like these especially knowing you've taken time to watch all the vids. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Agree with the compliment. Greet editing. Not too long, not too short. Only complaint is no banana conversions for us monkeys in this one. :)
HEAVY machining porn!
I wonder how many other machinists also have pitbulls? Is this the dog of choice for people in our profession?? Lol
@@bensmith7932 or mastiff it’s needs to be a dog that can take down a bull elk on its own.
Another great video. I bet the wife spends a bit of time and effort on the editing. But not to worry, your acting isn't the focus of the video. The content is great and well presented. The bloopers show just how much time you all put into it. The welding fast forward and operation were excellent. Love the real feel of your shop. Homeless fills in all the blanks. Thanks for sharing with us, way better than the TV.
We really appreciate all the hard work, takes and edits so that you can share your videos with us. Kudos to your workmanship and Thank You Very Much! Can't wait for the next video. 👍🏻🙂🙏🏻💯
Thanks for explaining about the precautions for tacking something in the lathe.
Not that I need to do stuff like that, but good to know anyhow.
No worries! Thanks for watching 😎👍
Parabéns, você é o melhor restaurador que já vi !
Nilton, Brasil.
very cool i see the safety officer was in uniform and on the job
you do excellent work and i like the way you explain and show the steps
Hey John! Thanks for another great comment glad you enjoyed the vid 😎👍
Your dog toy pile is growing, I hope the dog enjoys each one. Great seeing the process of a rebuild like this. Thanks
The last few minutes of these vids are always great.
My favourite part 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering RUclips won't let me reply about my favorite part where your weld start wasn't happening.
As usual precise planing of the job explained and carried out with extreme skill. Throughly enjoy your videos. Congrats on 100k. Regards.
Awesome, thank you!
By golly you ( Kurtis ) are a brilliant machinist for being so young. Excellent work, man.
Never a disappointment watching the latest upload from CEE but the "Bonus" clips at the end is pure GOLD!! PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP THOSE!!
Here we go! Coffee-> Video -> Pure Entertainment! Have a nice weekend

Managed to catch this one in the last hour of afternoon shift haha.
Have a good weekend Kurtis 🍻
Nice one mate! Great way to end a work day 😎🤣👌
That protection you put on that BIG ROD made me think have they got children? Giggity. Nothing like a bit of lube and lots of protection. Stay safe and have a great weekend and thanks for the great videos. The outtakes are just amazing.
I told a old friend of mine about this channel. He said he just couldn't get into it. I told him you have to have a certain mindset to appreciate it. Great dog!
Yes! Thanks, I’ve literally been waiting for this to drop! Great content!!
Thanks for waiting and watching!
Congratulations on the 100k!! Great work both of you and of course the safety officer!
Really enjoy watching, thank you for taking the time and the ball ache of trying to get it right for the pc world. 😂 👍🏻
Hey Chris thanks mate appreciate the support! 😎👍
The X hatch finish from that Hone machine is so nice, I want one myself, makes me droole.
Thanks for the explanation of the welding/tacking using the lathe to centre work. It's something I have often wondered about and noted that you hand held the earth against the work.
Well dang I guess I am not getting to sleep before midnight after all 😲. Thanks for all the hard work on the longer vid this week!
Hey mate catch up on beauty sleep tomorrow 🤣👍
The "righto guys" edit at the end had me laughing, great vid
I do repair work myself and I enjoy your videos....top notch work you do...your shop mascot keeps you in Line....and your bloopers at the end show that your Human my friends!! Keep up the great work and be Safe!!!
Hey Kurtis, I am amazed you are expert at machining and welding , usually people are only good at one of these. You are spot on with everything I have seen you do, I think with your go ahead attitude you will do very well.
Your lathe you can do what you like, if you were a employee different story. Every body has their way of doing things, that's how you learn, by watching other people.
Right on mate 😎👍
Or busting shit cuz' you know better. Watching is a great way to learn & patience definitely helps.
I think I mostly learn by busting shit because I don't know what I'm doing...
I was taught when welding on work in a lathe you still attach the ground to the work, just with a very, very, very long cable! :)
We do it all the time in our shop. We even have an old lathe specifically for welding. Just the headstock with a variable speed drive
i watch your videos before sleep and while eating thats the biggest reward i can give
Thank you
Great work, both on the cylinder and the video production. And I love seeing your happy safety officer taken care of!
Not only an awesome new vid but a running head start for movember pool cleaner 'stache too! Grrrr! Hotness dude!
Stay tuned for the next episode when you will hear Kurtis say "I've come to clean ze pool!" 🤣🤣
Going for that exotic look 😂👍
38:47 I was waiting to see if a clip of Winnebago man was gonna pop up lol.
Everyone is a expert I’m retired now but my father in law has a small machine shop anyway we have started doing a lot of what you show and your viewers would be freaking out as we have adapted a lathe that we put our root pass down on and it’s still as accurate a machine as when we purchased it
Your video’s give me different tricks and what not rebuilding the old cat iron thanks for your work on these videos
Big Jon
I was all into the machining and fitting and welding and 40 mins worth for sure and then started off with him in his high res and now the rest is all back burner! 😉 Keep up the good work!
Snazzy Erroll Flynn flavour-saver you've got goin' mate. :')
Getting started on Movember early 😂👍
I've always thought the production values were excellent on this channel, and that's all the more impressive looking at the problems presented by the 'talent' (in the outtakes). 😉 Hey, you guys are a whisker off 100K subscribers and the Silver Creator Award to hang on your wall. Or should it go on the wall in the editor's suite? It's well deserved as you have great content and I love how it is filmed.
Hey Trevor! Thanks for all the support you have given our channel mate we really appreciate it and always enjoy reading your comments. Yeah pretty excited to hit that 100K milestone and not sure what we are going to do with the Award! Might hang it above safety officer's bed as we know he is the real star of the show haha. Cheers mate 😎👍
Looks like the Boss received his pay there & was happy for it. Tis a neat safety vest on "The Boss." Keeps him safe. Nice job on the construction of the barrel. Looken for the next installment on this build. Have a safe day down under there.
I get a kick out of your honing center, I bought a Sunnen hone set thirty years ago, to do motorcycle cylinders, still got it, never knew they did such a big setup. My bores are four inch and smaller. Really enjoy watching you work, top notch all the way! you do a good job in dealing with welding in the lathe, I've had to do it a couple times, and always with great caution, much smaller lathe though. I've learned a new appreciation for that four way tool post, you get a lot of good utility out of it, makes me wish I were in the same hemisphere and could visit your shop.
So here I am watching your video and the wife walks in and says “how about a bit?” To which I said “yeah it’s a WNMG Insert”.
Apparently that wasn’t the right thing to say.
Go figure? 😂
At least it wasn't at @9:29 and you saying yeah i'm just looking at his big boring bar 😂😂😂
Dave, doesn't she know that you have to watch your favorite machining channel before anything else?
@@markfryer9880 😂👍
Question, do you ever have any use for high speed steel lathe tools in your work? I was wondering if any particular material or jobs like interrupted cuts ever get your HSS out of the cabinet. Awesome work as always.
Waited to watch quite a few videos before I commented, and coming from a guy that went to school for machine tool and die and was a welder/fabricator for 15 + years and now I run heavy equipment and run a small maintenance crew for my local county government, I must say Kurtis your a FIRST CLASS welder and machinist! Your skill set makes for awesome content. I would like to know more about your back story, for example how you got your start and how you started your business and acquiring your equipment and I think that would make a very interesting video for the people that really enjoy your videos.
20K+👍's up thanks for sharing
There's nothing more relaxing than watching a professional at work and put out quality perfection every time
