Making Wheel Widening Machine

- The machine is very helpful in making the widening of steel wheels, for the drive I used an electric motor with a gear, the engine speed was additionally reduced so that it was possible to weld not only with the mig method but also with the tig method. With such a widening of the wheels, work must be done very carefully, without haste, weld with high current to perform remelting. The wheel that I widened is much harder to widen than the regular wheel, but thanks to the rollers, I managed to make this wheel perfectly, the rollers help to center and align the wheel axis
A hat tip to you sir!!! I just watched you do the work of at least 5 highly skilled people. Engineer/Welder/Machinist/Electrician/Machine Assembly and operator. As a retired machinist and machine assembler I truly enjoyed your video!
Wonderful! The roller guides are simply brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
A wonderful example of basic fabrication skills honed by years of practice and a joy to watch. Unfortunately seen very little anymore
I’m 73 , we were cutting rims n widening them in the 60s . Looks like the idea matured. steel wheels are preferred in certain applications . Good job
Wow! Just wow! Did I say, "Wow?" Obviously, the end result justifies all the work involved in producing this marvelous machine. Well done!
As a 69 year old mechanic, machinist, welder,ie Fabricator I admire this ingenuity. Simple,inexpensive & accurate.
Very genius build. It gives me ideas for fabricating snow/all terrain tracks for vehicles, atv’s, and utv’s. Thank you for getting the gears turning even faster in my head.
Thank you 😁
Как поживают, твои шестерёнки? 😂
A true metalworks craftsman! Just simply OUTSTANDING!
Badass
Excellent workmanship! Sure beats the way we did
Ford wide 5 lugs back in the '50's/'60's for early "stock cars". We used an old brake drum lathe with a center section of"37 Ford rear hub. Accurate enough for "circle burners".
Cutting off the back side of another rim to replace the front, for widening & looks, was popular back then, the welding was not nearly as nice. Being able to cut down to the center piece with the cutoff wheel and being able to center the addition on the center piece is a BIG help.
What an excellent piece of engineering all 'round. Respect!!
Wonderful. I had a pair of OEM polished aluminum Ford wheels from my 2012 Mustane widened by a craftsman in Michigan. I don't know how HE did it, but it came out very well. 8" wheels became 10" wheels, yet looked STOCK. Same idea. Props on an easy-to-understand and well-thought-out build.
I've literally no idea why you would want to do this, but extremely impressive! Bravo!
really like this project. Thanks for sharing. I often thought about buidling something like this as well. One reason was to also straighten bent wheel rims, as well as to produce round parts like pressure tanks. Now to find a good spot in the workshop to store this fixture !
Back in the 70's, I did work for a company that manufactured RV's in Los Angeles. They modified small import pick-up trucks. They needed wider tires for the back, they did exactly what you saw in the video. I don't recall the machine that cut the rim all that complicated though. It seemed they cut the wheel on a lathe, didn't use a cut-off disk like in the video. They then welded a section of pipe in, I don't recall what kind of welder, believe it was a MIG welder though.
Apparently the wheel size they needed was not commercially manufactured, they needed them, they built them. Jim
You create some awesome tools. I enjoy every single one of your videos.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you 😁
Wow!! That’s a big project that produced beautiful results!!
You're pretty damn handy, lol! I'm also pretty sure you did a better job than the factory did when they made that wheel. Only thing I would have done is made the wheel wider if I was going to go to all that work. Good job, Man!
2:30 Hole spacing is measured with a digital gauge by measuring the diameter of one hole, zeroing the measurement and measuring the hole spacing between the outside tangents of the two holes. The cut-out is the size of the centers of the two holes 🙂
Come on, he did what he thought :)
What is wrong with his 2-second method? I don't even understand what you wrote makes zero sense.
It seems to be very essential for a certain sort of automobilistics drive on widened slics to show all guys what sort of helldriver you are, but great compliment to the constructor 👏
Fantastic video! Excellent planning and splendid final result as always!
Definitely, the design, the workmanship, the achievement, are beyond description.Thanks.
Not only a brilliant display of expertise but also this Gentleman engineering understanding is second to none , congratulations to Sir
I loved the concept with the added accessories , a magnificent video ....Thank you for sharing your Idea
Thank you 😁
Way back in the early 1970's I had a set of wheels widened by cutting and inserting a band. This was in Launceston, Tasmania - the shop that did it was very busy as most wheels back then were for tubed tyres and 4.5" rim width, with most cars having huge distance from the body to the rim. The car enthusiasts all wanted 6.5 - 7.0 inch rims and the tyres for that were all tubeless, so the welding job had to be good. Not sure what kind of equipment the shop used, but the results were perfect. It's no longer legal to run wheels widened this way in Australia.
Hello and thanks for the inspiring vid. Your workshop seems to be well equiped. Wouldn't mind shedding some light on the welding and drilling machine ( brand, type, capacities, ...).
Great build friend!! This is the kind of skill industries were built from!!
That was a great build! It’s a treat to watch a true craftsman at work.
Нет ничего невозможного, главное иметь желание двигаться вперёд к новым идеям.Respect!
Every single post you have made is impressive. I remember the first shop and the things you made in. You should be very proud of yourself.
*_You have presented a creative and interesting idea, and there were other tutorials in this video that I enjoyed watching. Well done._*
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
Impressive work. You obviously put a lot thought into the design, and as others have mentioned not a CNC machine in sight. Very well engineered and very enjoyable watching the process. 👍
Amazing to watch. If you're already on the lathe for heavy duty work I would bevel the two welding surfaces about half way down, you still get half of the flat surface for alignment & much stronger welds that can be ground flat & retain strength due to the root
Wow amazing. I used metal hacksaw machines in the 70s. The blades were often breakin tho.
The company made roller shutter doors.
Being said that it is an outstanding work and i have enjoyed watching his performing a lot. Thanks
👏
I have to point that making wider change all the physics, stress, tensión so as the rims shoulg had to be reinforced as new loads have to be contemplated, and i would not rely my life driving a car to its limits with that wheel, neverthelesd again a fantastic lesson on machinery.
👍
Уважаемый друг коллега Вы большой мастер СНАЙПЕР в точности и акуратности в своей работе. Вам дальнейших успехов .. все очень грамотно
Excellent all round engineering skills. Great to watch.
Just one of the things that makes this such a great channel is it teaches processes w/o saying anything, and shows people that they can do things they wouldn't have tried before. Anyway, thanks for another amazing build/video. One day I hope your time/effort ends up being noticed by someone so you'll benefit. God bless.
Thank you friend 😁
Show,enjoining very much to watch this video,smart guy,
True craftsmanship. Genius.
Learning how to widen a rim is one thing. Knowing how make the machine is another and seeing both happen is believing. Kudos 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Nicely done! Nothing more satisfying than doing it yourself
Thank you 😁
Решение гениальное. Исполнение шикарное.
This was super cool to watch. Keep up the cool stuff!
You do super nice clean work my man. Very impressive. I want a lathe badly
You Sir are a mechanical genius!
Now that's how you make a machine to make your job easier very accurate from what I can say
Found your channel found it very interesting, quality welding, I like that powered vice & the cleaver all round engineering, I have SUBSCRIBED now looking forward to watching your videos you've made, from Coventry UK 🇬🇧 👍.
Absolutely first class video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching from start to finish. Excellent 👍
Impressive. :)
I like the approach to the problem. Where I used to work we had weld tables to weld round objects. I've done hundreds of setups on this machine so the workers could weld all kinds of stuff on it.
Very well made. You are very good at what you do. Excellent craftsmanship
Thank you 😁
WONDERFUL WATCHING SKILLED ENGINEER MAKING STUFF. LOVE IT
What a superb video! The plan and the workmanship are a thing of beauty.
Thank you 😁
Great skillful work with basic facility, work from heart with great passion.
Wow, my friend. Incredible fabrication. Incredible talent. Nicely edited video, too. Congratulations. Well done man!
Hi from Japan.
The playful tolerance of motorcycles and buggies produces high-level fixtures, and we respond with gratitude.
The wheel that I was able to see today was the author, and a lot of your ideas and wisdom were put into it.
Have a nice day. Greetings. Follow/🔔~
Good job, As always, great work!
Thanks for the great video . 👍
Вооруженность вашего гаража выше любых похвал,молодец!
يا له من تدقيق في العمل لم أكتفي مرة واحدة من مشاهدة هدا الابتكار شكرا رائع جدا أستاد 👍❤️🇲🇦
Parabéns, excelente trabalho, saudações aqui do Brasil...
Have to admit, thats a tool ill never need and a process Ill never desire for my car. Yet I respect the craftsmanship and technique to make it happen.
Great job, thank you brother. You are so talented
really well done. I've seen a lot of shit on RUclips so it's refreshing to see someone who has actual skills. you'll get a lot of good use out of that jig
Very Awesome! Thanks for making this Video for us! 👍👍👍📹
Bro your mechanical skills 👌 top of the line keep up the good work
Interesting fabrication build of a tool to do more fabrication. I can see its use in certain shops that deal with wheels regularly needing modification. I couldn't use it personally, but I did like the process and final build.
That was absolutely awesome!!! You're one heck of a fabricator. There use to be a tire shop in Hickory,NC that actually use to offer this service; but, That was many years ago and they no longer offer that specialized service sadly anymore. Keep up the good work!!! J.C.
Not many videos impress me…this one does. Great job
You sir are a badass thinkeradoodicator genius lol very well done,never would have thought of that myself,that is why I subscribed to this site.
Thank you 😁
Отличный аппарат. Спасибо за ваш труд
Hermosa máquina y hermoso el trabajo terminado!!! Te felicito.
Отдельное спасибо за непрерывную сварку.
Ну и пиление на ленте, тоже не плохо!!!
Nice bit of engineering well thought out nice to see some decent welds
Well if I ever feel the need to band some wheels for a project I'm sure I'll look at this again . Awesome work well thought out and so perfect for the task . Thanks for sharing and making me jealous lol .
Thank you 😁
Nicely done . Only issue would be in Australia there’s only allowed to be one weld to widen the rim not two as you’ve done
That aside very nice 👌😎
Wonderful. I think you can synchronize the rotation using the wire speed rate on your welder. I bet you could figure that out! Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
I didn't think about it, thank you for the idea, I'll take care of it in a moment😁
Excellent as always, thank you. Cheers.
That was awesome! great video, great build.
Thank you 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch thanks for the content. I watched about 14 videos in a row😂
Great build. What brand are those heavy duty appearing hole saws you use?
More than impressive! What ingenuity!
Sir you are the man. That’s one bad ass machine. Enjoyed every minute of the build. Liked and subscribed to your channel.
So just curious , will this be a side hustle for you ? Most of your projects you use around the shop and house , I see this as a side business . Awesome work !
Great build. I learned something new today, thanks!
This is how we widened wheels when I worked for Tacoma Wheels, back in the 1960's. Still works!
is the structure of the wheel compromised?
@@Moose254 I never heard of a failure.
Nice application of some basic engineering. Simple, but highly effective. Makes me want to investigate what else you have on your channel. Well done.
Thank you 😁
Nice work. Widened wheels are outlawed here. Still if you have a racing hobby ... It's a really nice machine.
우와!~흴폭 늘리는기계를 직접 만들다니!
시간가는줄 모르고 봤네요.^
Очень грамотный механик! Респект!!!
MY GUY THIS NEEDS TO BE PATENTED AND SEE IF THERE IS A DEFINITELY A MARKET FOR SOMETHING THAT USEFUL AWESOME JOB 👍🏼
Excelente trabajo,muchas felicidades
Magnífico trabalho muito bacana top demais!! parabéns amigo!.. ❤️💜🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👍
Wow mate, that's fantastic work !!! 👋👋👋
Absolute perfection there. Big thumbs up from me👍
master at the machines , very good to learn , is that ford wheel or holden commodore wheels just curious . in australia there is same wheels . keep on making things and thank you .
Good job and great idea
Please what is the name of the oil that is used to drill the metal so that the drill does not heat up
WOW!! How long did it take to design that monster? Great build.
Overall, this is a highly informative and enjoyable video for anyone interested in engineering. It showcases your talent and expertise while providing valuable insights and inspiration to fellow enthusiasts. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your content in the future 👍👍👍
😊😊😊😊
All i can say is DAMN, this guy has some serious talent. WOW!!!!!!!!!
I used to make my wheels back in the '60s but it took two wheels to make one I would take the widest part off of each one and weld them together I would use the pickup or the car jack up the car or truck and use the rear end in low gear real slow to cut them but this is much better system nice work
You continue to amaze me.
Brilliant job. Top quality workmanship
Your competence and skill is extraordinary...
(But you already know that😉)
