We have been working on changing our setup to manufacture trailer lift blocks faster. This is how we are doing our setups and how we manufacture them now. The process has been quite interesting to go through and I have @Abom79 to thank. His channel has taught me quite a lot over the last few years and when I reached out to him to help me purchase some tooling and coolant, he was quite awesome and helpful. Thanks

Right on, thanks for the insight and revision of the process, well done.
Looks like you have your process dialled in well now. Always good to have something to do when the shop is otherwise quiet I bet!
Loved watching how you fabricate these! I just ordered a kit for my 5th wheel camper and look forward to installing. My grandfather owned an auto repair shop back in the day and would fabricate lots of parts he needed for the cars he worked on and I always regret not taking his metal working equipment when he retired and getting into that.
I've been a fan of Adam for a long time, watching almost every video he's put out. I'm really glad you got to get some help from him with your machine. He really knows what he's doing, and it looks like you've really streamlined your process now. I've been watching your channel for a while, and I enjoy the content. 👍👍
pretty sure he said his name is scott
@@Nothingmore71 Adam Booth - Abom79, the guy he got help from setting up his machine.
Better product in less time, awesome!
Cool Adam helped out...🙂
I bought the Original blocks and they are still on camper and doing great! Looking at to purchasing another tandem axle kit for a 5th wheel toy hauler!
I watched Project Farm before coming across to watch you Adam and today he was testing what I feel is the absolute perfect time saver for you, Annular Cutters. They cut the perfect sized hole for you, using an existing drill press, without having to drill 3 different times to end up with the hole size you want. I'm sure your fancy new drill press would be able to take the annular cutter heads. Truly hope this helps :)
interesting, i'll have to look at that. we drill 14mm then into 5/8 so having a step down sized drill bit would be awesome.
Awesome! It's great to see someone learning the trades and experiencing the joy of it. And you will never stop learning. With machining, there is always different ways to accomplish the same task. So you will get lots of comments on "how" to do it. Pick the one that works best for you. Regards.
yes, we have changed our setup a few times now. Every time I would fabricate for a few hours we'd change things again and again till we got our current setup. One of the reasons why there was such a long gap between when I started the video till I finished filming it.
Thanks for showing us the improved parts and your process. You may want to reconsider wearing gloves while running a drill press. You can easily get caught up if the lands on the bit touch your gloves. I’ve seen it happen to someone I worked with and it’s scary at best and dangerous at worst.
You're getting it done for sure...can't help wondering though if a good used Bridgeport mill wouldn't have been a better fit for the job rather than that drill press?
I looked into a Bridgeport and I couldn't find one with 220 single phase electricity. Plus the price was double....maybe next time.
I was conflicted on spending the $ on a kit. I thought it may have been slightly overpriced. I had some 2x4 3/16 stock so I made my own like your old design. . . But after making them. I fully understand why you're charging 330. More than fair. The u bolts alone were 99 bucks. So with the work that goes into the blocks, I support that price. Well worth the cost if you cant make your own.
Do you show video on how they are installed on a tandem axle.
Can you make them for a 5x6 lowes trailer or a 3.5 x 5 lowes trailer. I believe the axel is smaller.
good questions. Lowes/ACE/Walmart/Canadian Tire and Peavy mart trailers are all very strange and not very standard sizes. I wouldn't even know what I would have to make. I'd need a whole bunch of measurements.
I need Ubolt measurements - ruclips.net/user/shortsjoBn6PpitVg?feature=share
I would also need to know the spring width and the axle seat (spring seat) length
then I would know if it would fit with a different set of Ubolt or if it wouldn't work at all.
do the same operation on all blocks, drill all blocks with smaller drill, do all blocks with larger drill, do all blocks with chamfering bit this will be as fast as you can go, unless you get CNC machine
this is exactly how we do it. our cart can handle about 60 blocks at a time (weight wise), so we usually drill 60 out at the same size, then change the drill bits and repeat.
Any chance of your shop making a 3” or 4” set?
we sell 3" sets not at www.simcoespring.com just click on the lift blocks on the front page.
Is this better than using a kit to “flip” the axle using the kit that is offered by Dexter?
These only work with axles that are bolted on to the springs from the bottom. If your axle is in the middle between the spring and trailer frame that axle flip kit from dexter will be what you need.
Tool changes take time
I'd run one tool for all pieces then change your tool
thats the plan
Are all your lift blocks on your website the solid blocks or the older ones that are hollow? Please let me know. Thanks
all our lift blocks are now solid steel
You have a lift kit for a square galvanized axel?
As long as the leaf springs are 1.75" wide our lift blocks will work.
The best way to order these from us is to put in an order for either a single or tandem or tri-axle kit. after that, message us on the contact page and put in the measurements of the Ubolts you want.
you will have put tell us what (inside) width and (inside) length and diameter of Ubolt you will want.
We have a video on how to measure the Ubolts.
ruclips.net/video/Ut7AeDgLG8M/видео.html
after that I'll make you a custom lift kit and ship it out to you.
Or just give us a call - contact info is at www.simcoespring.com
that way I can walk you through the steps and I can process an order for you over the phone.
How Much Weight can it hold the 2 in trailer lift kit. i want to used it in a dump trailer that hold 8 tons of material.
the blocks are so strong, I don't think you can break them
I really like what you’re doing. I’m in need of a lift kit like this . I’ve got a 95 terry 5th wheel tandem. What’s the price on that
Tandem axle kit like this is 330.00 CAD (current price), we have them available at www.simcoespring.com and we ship all over north america
And I always forget to ask you what are those long hockey stick shaped leaf spring looking things for on the wall next to the press?
They are for a Peterbilt "new" low air leaf suspension. We call them " Twisted Z" leaf springs. They are a very popular suspension, came out in 2003 till today, so probably a few million trucks with that suspension in it.
getting error code 404 Page Not Found in your link.
thank you very much. not sure why it is not working. Just re-did the comment the exact same way as last time and it works now. So wierd.
Have a look at: ruclips.net/user/bluehandsvideo for some ideas on automation and fixturing to speed up production, he'd probably give you some advice too!
I have a few ideas on how to do these blocks on a CNC machine, however I don't know how to program and I don't have space or money for a CNC machine. So yes, lots of ideas. I'll check out the channel. thanks for the suggestion.
@@simcoespring You're not that far from Eric O of South Main Auto channel fame. You should get him to come visit, check out your shop, trade rusty frame horror stories and put some springs on his Jeep!
