I have to say i have zero desire to ever weld or repair heavy machinery but the professionalism and level of skill in these videos is absolutely top notch been watching for years and its been said many times but you SIR are a cut above the rest
I enjoy your line boring and bore welding videos immensely! I hope you include all of these jobs in your videos. Thanks! Oh, and by the way, Australians pronounce that as Haych link!
On the previous video of this seriers. You ask if there was a better way to cut the angles on the face wearing plates. 🤔🤔Imagine a reversed lathe chuck. 👀👀A 2" deep pan disk ?DIA? trepanning tool that bolts over the line boring bar holes. The tool would have two or four angle insert bars or HS steel cutters that can be adjusted in and out. Cutters will rest against a gusset and side bars inside for support or in slots cut out of a thicker wall resting aganst the back plate. This will cut strait on and would give you more leverage and force.
As always great job very professional ! 👍👍 I worked in printing right out of high school for 21 yrs we had older presses and customers preferred our work because of tge quality we could put out they said it was true craftsmanship because of the work was a bit harder to do to achieve good quality and they knew we didn't cut corners to get the quality ! I see this in your work and the craftsmanship and the extra time you take to make sure it's right !
I don't know what hurts my brain more -- watching you do this, or wondering how in the hell someone invented a line bore. I know one could say that about anything... I just find it all so fascinating. I just weld for fun on projects for my cars.
Make sure all the welding is done first before you do your final cut. because after you touched up the side of the faces it drew the bore out of round. set the bore welder to 17 volts. Anything more than that is just heat and spatter. Run the bore welder in the other direction, because when the nozzle spatters up and sticks to the bore inside, the darn thing will unscrew itself as it's turning around. If you put about a .006" crush fit on them bearings you don't need loctite. Also, if your chips are blue you are still running too fast. That's why you're getting a little bit of chatter across your bore. The cutter tip can't handle the heat and it erodes down. Not sure if you're using high speed steel or carbide but you need to use carbide. With a sharp point on the bit. Must sharpen tool bit after every time it goes across the bore. That weld gets hard
Nice job, if you get one of the 6" wide luggage wraps and you can wrap and seal ends of repaired items easily which provides excellent protection and only takes seconds to apply. Ray Stormont
On the hydraulic press, I use spacers that are notched (as with an arbor press) so I don’t have to keep removing / rethreading the nut. Helps a bit with shorter throw rams 👍🏻
I noticed something, you were welding in short sleeves, my dad would do that once in a while oh the sunburn, then he wouldn’t do that again for a long time. I’m allergic to sunlight so I’ve worn long sleeves for 60 years.
I had some steel once that was really hard like that, and made those same color magenta/purple chips in the lathe.... I have no idea what it was, came from a surplus place......the chips were amazing and the color was unusual.....high manganese maybe? anyway, I was making rollers for a ring roller......looking good Buddy.....Paul
I babysat Cat scraper spreads for over 30 years and I can’t even count how many H links and cushion hitches I’ve had to bore and weld up . A little different from an excavator H link but almost the the same . 😊 what brand of inserts are you using? Thanks for sharing. Those are called flap wheels on your Milwaukee. The red Loctite works good but if you want to really securthem use the Loctite 720 green color and those seals will never pop out . 😎
This might be a stupid question but I'm known for stupid questions lol... Once you make your pass with the line bore and it's concentric, why not just order or make a bushing with a larger OD? I would think it would provide longer wear life and you can avoid all that time consuming line bore welding
Some people do that. Most customers want everything to go back to OEM specifications. Here is an example of why. Say I make a bigger bushing for it and put it all back together. Then this machine goes out of state 800 miles away and that bushing wears out they go buy OEM bushings and go to take it apart and realize someone made something custom and OEM doesn’t fit. Now they have to call out someone to line bore it and put it back to spec.
Where do you get your measurements from? Like how do you know when to face and how much to face to and things like that? Does SIS have info like this or what? Thanks, nice work as usual
What do you use on the far end of your enerpac? The end far from the ram itself. Because you’re washer/spacer behind the nut just gave me a good idea for my set up on my rig.
Are you trying the bearing retainer as an alternative to cutting a step/bearing stop in the bore? No opinions, just curious if this was an attempt to shave a little time off the project.
How much of a interference fit do you use when cutting your bore to its final dimension do you use one too one and a half thousand of an inch for every one inch dimension of the bearing or do you use something else just wondering on your professional opinion thanks
@@OFWThanks for getting back to me I greatly appreciate it and love the videos you do great work how do you find the manufacture spec do you just contract the manufacture directly
I’ve been at this for roughly a year, love it to death, just wondering what kind of bits those are and if you have a link to where I can get some for myself
There are always a lot of things that you don’t see in a video. I don’t know what you are talking about but I can assure you everything is straight and true.
to me is the wrong grease you Americans are using there should be Canadian grease and oil never have any more blown engines or worn-out holes better dancers bone we have here the Indian and cowboy bones you have lol

You make line boring look easy but I know just enough about machining to know this is a lot harder then it looks. Great job!
Subscribed, we have started line boring in my business on our bucket rebuilds, we spray soluble oil for cutting when line boring, it helps.
alot.

3 👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing 😎😊
Very skilled to do that job.Thanks for the great video.
Very impressive the old freezer trick is cool knowledge
Greg I enjoy all videos and your professionalism is top notch there is nothing like having a bowl of ice cream and watching your videos😊
That chamfer tool is neat.
Wow! You make it look so easy! Nice job! Greg! 😊thanks for sharing! 👌👍

hi Greg....thanks for making my Sunday morning......Paul in Florida
On the hydraulic press, I use spacers that are notched (as with an arbor press) so I don’t have to keep removing / rethreading the nut. Helps a bit with shorter throw rams 👍🏻
Honest question. What's the reason behind not just winding the nut in more rather than adding spacers?
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
You say the material was hard, but wasn't it your line bore weld that you were cutting? Great channel, love it!
Yes, but the clean cut was acting weird and my weld could have mixed with something else to make it harder than normal.
Morning 4 am , Coffees on!! Cheers!;-)!
That is so cool, A lot of prep and work, but it's great work 😊
👍 хорошая работа, но я применяю жидкий азот для установки втулок.
Awesome,thank you for sharing, i learn a lot , always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
I appreciate the video. Good filming and interesting work. Thanks
Flapper wheels are awesome, do a nice polish
Flap Wheels I believe......love them, especially the ones with sandpaper and Scotchbrite in the same wheel
Excellent shop work, strong skill set!
Whether you keep that bushing that closed up so tightly is your business, but I'm glad you have it on film.
Great job
Those bores are terrific!
Nice work sir you should show us one these days how line up a egged out bore with the bearings. Unless I missed that one . Thanks
Acompanhando seus trabalhos amigo perfeito!!!
gotta love those 3M Cubitron II discs......
so much faster and better than a hard wheel or a flap disc......
You got a interesting job ,
You do amazing work, thank you.

I find on these big newer cat equipment (349/374) if you only do 1 pass of bore welding it gets hard af…. Its gotta be something in the material.
You're fun to watch.

Hello from TEXAS!
Bon Boulo j' aime,😆😆👍👍
If you ever run into Hitachi H-links, don't bother welding them, they're cast iron otherwise it'll be really hard weld to machine haha
Technically there is a way around that.
sangat profesional❤
easy money! good job as always
👍👍
It is hard as the mig wire is higher grade wire and has reacted with the parent material.
Seen welding angle iron Years ago and it made hard spots.
👍
I was just thinking you really weren't cutting the steel on the part . You were cutting the weld you did so you were cutting your wire you laid down.
عمل متقن ورائع 👍🏻👍🏻
Where do you get your measurements from? Like how do you know when to face and how much to face to and things like that? Does SIS have info like this or what?
Thanks, nice work as usual
Connections at the CAT dealership. I am lucky to have that.
Cool 😎
Weld a couple beads around the inside and the bushings will shrink and come right out.
We tried that first and they wouldn’t budge.
@@OFW Damn, tight buggers.
How many thousandths do you allow for a crush fit on such a long bore?
I did .005” on this. I typically go with the .001” per inch unless I get a specific spec.
maybe someone had built it once before using a much higher tensile strength rod? Also, do you always run inline bores dry?
Are you talking about coolant for cutting?
@@OFW yes, for cutting.
@@michaelryan9311I never run coolant while cutting. It makes a big mess and is not necessary with carbide.
@@OFW yeah I need to learn more about milling and machining for sure. Thanks.
Seems like it would be a better design if new bush had an exterior shoulder to bring it all back to spec
What do you use on the far end of your enerpac? The end far from the ram itself. Because you’re washer/spacer behind the nut just gave me a good idea for my set up on my rig.
Just another washer and nut
Why were these bushings so dark colored.? Usually they are pristine clean.
That’s the way they came from CAT. I’m not entirely sure. I see bushings with all different kinds of surface finishes.
I call that sanding wheel a flapper wheel
This time have you made the small lip on the inside in order to fix better the bushing ? (Like you did in other videos).
I did not put a lip on this one.
I've seen people weld on bushing an let cool they knocked it out
I tried that with no luck
Well they where small one's
Are you trying the bearing retainer as an alternative to cutting a step/bearing stop in the bore? No opinions, just curious if this was an attempt to shave a little time off the project.
No, after talking with customer they wanted it to stay OEM. And I almost always apply some type of bearing retainer.
@@OFW thanks for taking the time to reply. Enjoying your videos, keep them coming
Whenever you are installing new bearings, there is always that fear that they will stick half way in.
Well hopefully that never happens!
How much of a interference fit do you use when cutting your bore to its final dimension do you use one too one and a half thousand of an inch for every one inch dimension of the bearing or do you use something else just wondering on your professional opinion thanks
If there is no manufacturer spec. I use one thousandth per inch.
@@OFWThanks for getting back to me I greatly appreciate it and love the videos you do great work how do you find the manufacture spec do you just contract the manufacture directly
👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Did you ever try to put the bushings in liquid nitrogen ?
Yes, but I don’t do them enough to keep liquid nitrogen on hand all the time.
I’ve been at this for roughly a year, love it to death, just wondering what kind of bits those are and if you have a link to where I can get some for myself
I don’t have a link but the ones on my Amazon store work pretty well for the price. Link in description
@@OFW hell yea mean thanks a bunch
Can you tell what are those inserts?I use hss or brazed carbide and sometimes material hardens and breaks them
I usually use cheap inserts from Amazon. But sometimes I use high quality ground inserts I get from my local sales representative.
Greg, I cant seem to find that air tool for chamfering on your Amazon site????

How much can someone make on line boring. Do you rent the CLIMAX LINE BORING MACHINE
i wondering how much price this boring machine 🙄
Its surprising of all your toys you have you don't run a plasma table for making parts, they're so inexpensive now, relatively speaking.
I have 3 friends that are close to me with plasma tables. I’m saving up for a water jet.
@@OFWawesome, the “stuff made here” channel just got one it’s incredible what they can do with beveling parts for you etc.
I’m wondering who is that boy with you?
What are your settings for welding the bore?
20v and 220ipm
your cutting insert isn't wearing out is it?
No.
5:08 did you notice the jump when it was line boring?
That was the entire piece moving from pressing the bushings in the other side.
I'm just passing through getting well educated
Looks like your last line bore was not parallel. I didn’t see you correct for that which means the bushing disintegration will likely reoccur.
There are always a lot of things that you don’t see in a video. I don’t know what you are talking about but I can assure you everything is straight and true.
It appears unpleasantries have occurred.
