Hey viewers thanks for watching today's video Part 2 of replacing a damaged bulldozer ripper lift cylinder rod! There was a lot of machining that went into this new rod so we hope this longer video is still enjoyable for you all.

Great video. I'm just catching up on the ones I missed. That 3-jaw is worth its weight in gold! It's really dead on. I'm also impressed with that U-Drill. That sure saves a lot o time. Thanks for letting us watch.
Really tore him to bits! Must have been a Third Safety Warning before copping the sack. The chicken must've given him some lip when answering back, so he really Did tear him to pieces before kicking his can down the road, never to return.
Stumbled across your channel and I'm now subscribed. I'm a bit like others here i machine things for a living then watch others making things to wind down lol. Makes a nice change to see somebody make something rather than show the latest shiny new thing like adam booth has started to do. Keep up the great work! All the best from Northeast England.
Hey mate welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching and supporting and always appreciate it even more from someone in the industry! Cheers, Kurtis 😎👊💥
I subscribed in your last video and I’m glad I did the work you do is very addictive lol I’m slowly working my way through your videos thanks for making this pandemic easier to cope with I suffer from mental health issues and I’m in lockdown thanks for sharing all the best stay safe god bless
Hey mate welcome to the channel! Thanks for subscribing and watching glad it's helping you through such a difficult time. My misses says she hopes your ears don't hurt too badly after listening to our beginning videos with the shithouse music she used 🤣🤦♂️ where abouts in the world are you? Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering thank for the reply im from London UK the music is fine lol your staffy is beautiful that chicken had no chance lol I find it fascinating how things are engineered especially heavy equipment im a mechanic and hobby machinist and channels like yours help my mind stay busy although your lathe could spin my lathe lol stay safe god bless
Had a staffie on our Cape York trip, a bloody nuisance to be honest, but to shut him up we gave him a dry coconut and watched him spend hours ripping the husk off it. :)
Another awesome video you guys thank you very much. I suggested a little pay rise for you and your wife on another video and I thought you might like to get the pup a couple of chickens- apparently he wasn't happy with the last one.😂😂😂😂
Hey Peter thanks for watching our vids mate really appreciate the support. Haha yeah payrise long overdue I reckon and will definitely need to get more rubber chooks 🤣😎👍
welding in the lathe is fun but just remember electricity can ark through the bearings sometimes an make pits in the balls/rollers and races. might need to switch over to hybrid ceramic bearings. They have steal races but hard and tough ceramic balls/rollers like silicon nitride or zirconium oxide so electricity can not pass through because ceramic is an insulator. nice job.
Hey mate no that's 100% put in and how it runs. Depending on the length and size of rod it might need a bump but 99% of the time that's how good it is 😎👍
your videoa are the kind that i will watch it all without skipping any second ! great work mate . i have a question ... are you allowed to weld while the job still on the lathe and it will not damage it ?
Awesome video. Great talent. Question: The lube fluid and chips that fall down below the lathe: is that lube fluid filtered and recycled to use again? Chips able to be melted down again snd if not what is done with them. Just super curious is all. Again props on your work Thanks for you time.
awesome video! Thanks for showing set up, tool changes, inserts used, DOC etc. Its really helpful for us machining students! We have 4 pitties running around the house...I knew all too well that chicken didn't stand a chance ;)
This was a great video. I love the inclusion of dog (I may have missed his name). You really make short work of that hard shell. Crunchy on the outside chewy in the middle. Do you use flux core to weld that or gas/both? Just trying to understand what's what and why/how to do that proper.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering nice choice! If I ever aquire a decent sized home machine shop in the far future (with like 13x40 lathe and a decent turret mill) I think of buying some Mitutoyo micrometers. But so far I only have metrology tools and no machines because I'm still a student without time or money 😅
What HRC is the outside of that shaft? I used to turn lots of 4140 HT (35HRC) with carbide all the time. My understanding is that you really only need ceramic for 55 HRC and above. Most modern coated carbides are really good with hard ish steel
Goodness sakes that chicken didn't stand a chance. It's kinda therapeutic to watch manual machining any more. CNC definitely has it's place but it's cool when you have to adjust to the issues at hand to get a job completed.
Some people might consider it a bit strange, but to technical types it's just a chance to see if the grass is greener and to see just how other people go about doing things. Not to mention wishing that we all had such a handsome Safety Officer hanging around.
Videos getting better every time. I like the format of little explanation just letting work speak for itself. Really enjoy the scale/size of work that you do, filling a hole left by another youtuber. Keep it up .
This has become one of my top 5 youtube channels to watch. I am no machinist and to old to become one, i have used lathes in the past not to your degree used them to true up shafts in motor vehicles. It’s fascinating to see the start and end.
Loved that work young fellar--super impressed with the accuracy and strength of your 3 jaw chuck..I have been machining all day and I watch machining videos for the wind down at night time... I guess I am hooked.
Been waiting...The machining part is awesome, the Staffy part, even better, what about the chicken? 😍😍😍😍 Please make a video called A Staffy day in the machine shop....😍😍😍😍 Hey mate, time to play with me, throw me the chicken....😂😂😂 I laughed out loud seeing him dismantle the chicken, so on second thought maybe call the video The gremlin in the machine shop....😜
Hahahaa yes the poor rubber chicken is in pieces on the office floor 🤣😭 yes we want to get a gopro for some "staffy cam" footage. We will add your idea to the video list 😎👍
Have you experienced any alignment issues from the soft jaw addition to your 3 jaw chuck? It looks perfect. I was considering something similar (on a much smaller lathe) so I want to nick your idea. Imitation being part of Flattery etc That material cuts a bit like 316, long streamers & really sharp. A lovely thread.
Made me 2 of those just this morning. 2 1/2" induction hardened rod, 45" long. Our method is a bit different than yours. I saw the eye off then mill it square and drill a 3/4" hole, 3/4" deep. I machined the threaded end, in my case it was a 2" - 12thd. I flipped it around in the lathe and machined a 3/4" dia spud, 3/4" long and machined a BIG chamfer for weld on the rod. Then I beat the rod eye onto the rod and welded it. On My cylinder there was 2" of the rod sticking out of the cylinder when assembled so no trimming of the weld was necessary.
Hey mate thanks for watching. Where abouts in the world are you? Have heard from a few in the USA who do the procedure like what you mention. Always good to hear what others do in the industry 😎👍
Nice work Kurtis. It’s interesting watching your workflow. That big lathe makes short work of that induction hardened shaft that’s for sure. Those round carbide inserts clean up that MIG weld bloody good too. Hope you’re both well. Cheers from the Covid state 👍🍻. Aaron
Hey Aaron thanks very much mate. Yeah this is my favourite lathe in the workshop it's a joy to machine on! We are both doing well up here how's it going for you down there now?! Hope you're enjoying the weekend best you can. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
I see SOMEONE didn't like the squeaker! 🤣 Another great video there from you and your wife there Kurtis and another great machining job too. I do have a couple questions there for you Kurtis...1) so just how thick is that chrome plating that is on those rods? 2) why preheat the part like you did there? There was a third question but do you think i can remember what it was by the time i finished watching....... 🤣. Keep up the great work you two.
Hey mate thanks for watching glad you enjoyed this weeks vid! hahaa yeah that poor rubber chook had no chance. The chrome layer is about 5mm thick. Preheat is a standard weld procedure to take the cold out of the material. High grade materials don't like being welded cold. If the other question comes back to you drop a new comment (we don't get notified if someone edits their original comment). Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
You need to get your knees off the concrete. It will suck the life out of those precious joints my friend. A piece of wood or rubber, anything. Trust me as I have seen and have the results of a life of working on it. You don't want that at all.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I am 65 and retired now. Both my knees hurt from all the torture I put them through. You are still relatively young so there may be hope for yours yet. I had a supplier up here that sold welders knee pads. I got them for our fellas in fab and the truck mechanics. Pricy but I never wore mine out.
I'll say it a second time. I really like this format. Explain the job, then dig in with the explanations written on the bottom. Oh, yeah. Nice job on the repair, too.
So you don't use compound set at 29.5 degrees rather than the plunge method using the cross feed? And you leave the half nut engaged during the whole threading procedure?
I would be interested to know more about the system on your lathe that retracts the tool at the end of the thread, precisely each time. It looks scary in use, but seems to work very well. I've typically used a boring bar on the back side of the work with the lathe in reverse, starting in a relief groove and running the tool off the end safely into mid-air.
Not questioning your reasons... just trying to understand. Do they not make a quick change tool post for you size of tooling or just don't make one you trust?
Hey mate a few reasons, mostly I've never found one rigid enough here in Aussie for the work I do. A standard tool post has more range with tool positioning and I can use my tooling across all 3 lathes without adjusting centre height like I would need to on a quick change. 😎👍
This video is bloody amazing how you cut the thread I’m watching this with my son and he doesn’t understand your incredible skill set Young future apprentices will see this and enjoy Now on a serious note I think we are going to need a bigger bird/chook for the supervisor with 4 legs
That is one stout lathe y'all have there! It's built like a Sherman tank! Your customers have to be happy.... it's got to be way cheaper to rebuild than to have to buy new parts - if they're even available. It must be a good feeling to know you have the equipment you need to keep your customers going! :)
Hey mate liking the channel and what im seing Just a suggestion We use the tig to tack weld on the machine that way theres no spatter to get anywhere and didn't need to spend time trying to protect everything
Loving the blue chips. Would enjoy seeing your disassembly bench sometime. Also maybe a explanation of different rod materials and such. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your videos. Shop pups all the way, Zoeys our hose shop puppers and she also enjoys the vids when ur pups got camera time!
I have a much smaller ram waiting for me to order in the rod (not exactly an urgent job as I wont need the plow till autumn), it was interesting to see your order of operations and always a pleasure to watch a good tradesman at work
Hello Hamid Adam may I recommend to you the early videos of Abom79 in Pensacola USA and any videos by Ca Lem in Vietnam . I also love what this channel is doing, brother. You are one of the Elite!
Bonjour, "Alors !? "Pas sous-titrage donc pas de traduction... 😢 (Sorry for not speaking English). _Je suis à la retraite maintenant depuis quelques années et j'apprécie beaucoup le travail bien fait de Mr Curtis.
Hi Kurtis, thanks for the video, stunning filming, we get to see it all, unlike some, and very neat shop I might add , loved the dog tearing up the chuk. Best wishes to all out there , Stuart.uk.
Gday, Awesome job mate, I just come in from the shed putting my new lathe together, turned the ipad on and what a good way to finish the day off, poor bloody Chook had no change, looked like the drumsticks were a bit stringy, have a good weekend mate, cheers Matty
Hahahaa hey mate got to love a day of work to then watch someone else work 😂 that's the machinist bug. Yeah he ripped that poor chook to bits, it did have some fluff and a squeaker inside but he got all that out too 😂 is your new lathe running or some more work to do to it? Cheers, Kurtis 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I’m retired mate so this is a hobby, got to keep the brain going, I brought a new Hare and Forbes AL960b, hopefully have a short video out on it in a few days, I think that shit they paint on it in the factory must have been on special this month, it was well covered mate.
Very nice repair. It seems that everything you do in your shop is/was well thought out. I like that. I like to do the same. I noticed you left the half-nuts engaged all the time while doing a 12 tpi thread. Does your lathe have a metric leadscrew? Keep up the good videos. Ken
Hey Ken thanks for watching mate glad you can appreciate it. Great minds think alike haha. Yes has metric leadscrew but is equipped with both metric and imperial thread ranges. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Great video. I think one of the cool things about being a machinist and making parts like this is you're the one making possible for one or more people to get their work done. Out of curiosity, how much was that chrome bar? I imagine not cheap.
Hi mate, how were the holes drilled and threaded into the hardened jaws of the chuck? Also, the new insert was sparking on the induction layer of the rod, is that insert thrown in the bin after getting through that or can it still be used?
Hey mate nothing special just drilled and tap with standard tooling. Just stay away from the jaw faces (internal and external grabbing surfaces) and should have no dramas 😎👍
Hey mate with the insert sparking that was due to the chrome material that sometimes happens. The 1 tip of that insert lasted the whole job and is good for the next. Still another 5 tips on that insert as well 👍

Not sure about that but thanks for watching! 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Its almost exactly how I ve done them... and similar, so yep. be sure about it ;)
@patmustard contact me please
Made a few smaller rods myself in the home shop, most commonly 30-40mm thick. Nice to see a larger one being made
Hey mate good stuff! I love that this industry is so diverse 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering and by the way you have a damn good chuck
Yeah it goes well makes work life much easier
dunno what the chook did wrong, but that safety officer is sure chewing him out!
Hahaha yeah he shredded it. There was a plastic squeaker and fluff inside til he ripped it to bits 😂
Really tore him to bits! Must have been a Third Safety Warning before copping the sack. The chicken must've given him some lip when answering back, so he really Did tear him to pieces before kicking his can down the road, never to return.
Yea, you could say he ripped him a new one. Or two. Or...

Cutest dog ever
2:45 There's no way you just threw the piece in to the chuck and it's running so true :D You did shim it right?

your videoa are the kind that i will watch it all without skipping any second ! great work mate .
i have a question ... are you allowed to weld while the job still on the lathe and it will not damage it ?
Que prática, tudo dá certo! Parabéns!
Awesome work keep share with us ur work 👍
Hey mate will do thanks for watching 😎👊💥
How many different kinds/types of welding wire do you have? Reason I ask is I rarely see you use the same one twice lol
Awesome video.
Great talent.
Question: The lube fluid and chips that fall down below the lathe: is that lube fluid filtered and recycled to use again? Chips able to be melted down again snd if not what is done with them.
Just super curious is all.
Again props on your work
Thanks for you time.
The lube recirculates from what I’ve seen and the swarf goes the scrap metal yard.
awesome video! Thanks for showing set up, tool changes, inserts used, DOC etc. Its really helpful for us machining students! We have 4 pitties running around the house...I knew all too well that chicken didn't stand a chance ;)
Hey mate thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful. Hahaa yeah rubber chook is in pieces 🤣
good vid mate
This was a great video. I love the inclusion of dog (I may have missed his name). You really make short work of that hard shell. Crunchy on the outside chewy in the middle. Do you use flux core to weld that or gas/both? Just trying to understand what's what and why/how to do that proper.
Hey mate thanks for watching. I'm using a metal cored wire backed with Argo shield heavy gas it contains 75% argon and 25% Co2
How is your 3-jaw so damn centered?
You didn't even do anything, it was just bang on.
To put it mildly, it's a freak. Best damn 3-jaw chuck i've ever had or seen
Stupid question - why the screw clamp on the rod?

Hey Doug thanks for watching mate that's awesome. Yeah it's my shop and business 😎👍
The doggo is hyperactive and destructive today.
if he had a rubber chook everyday it would never end hahaha
Wonderful video as usual mate, I'd like to ask you this question: what's your favorite micrometer? (Or micrometer set)?
Hey legend thanks for watching! I prefer Starrett just like them and Mitutoyo is up there as a favourite as well 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering nice choice! If I ever aquire a decent sized home machine shop in the far future (with like 13x40 lathe and a decent turret mill) I think of buying some Mitutoyo micrometers.
But so far I only have metrology tools and no machines because I'm still a student without time or money 😅
Perfekt 👌
Cheers! 😎👍
Those chips are so long must be tough stuff or something isnt right with your angle or toolbit
What HRC is the outside of that shaft? I used to turn lots of 4140 HT (35HRC) with carbide all the time. My understanding is that you really only need ceramic for 55 HRC and above. Most modern coated carbides are really good with hard ish steel
It's 55 - 60 HRC and definitely needs ceramic insert on the induction layer. I explained in the video that it is 38MnVS6 induction hardened 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering yes 55-60 is hard enough for ceramic!
Goodness sakes that chicken didn't stand a chance. It's kinda therapeutic to watch manual machining any more. CNC definitely has it's place but it's cool when you have to adjust to the issues at hand to get a job completed.

Hey mate yeah spot on. I reckon setting it at 29.5° is alot of unnecessary fark around
I would be interested to know more about the system on your lathe that retracts the tool at the end of the thread, precisely each time. It looks scary in use, but seems to work very well. I've typically used a boring bar on the back side of the work with the lathe in reverse, starting in a relief groove and running the tool off the end safely into mid-air.
very good video..thanks for your time
Thanks for watching! 😎👍
Not questioning your reasons... just trying to understand.
Do they not make a quick change tool post for you size of tooling or just don't make one you trust?
Hey mate a few reasons, mostly I've never found one rigid enough here in Aussie for the work I do. A standard tool post has more range with tool positioning and I can use my tooling across all 3 lathes without adjusting centre height like I would need to on a quick change. 😎👍
This video is bloody amazing how you cut the thread I’m watching this with my son and he doesn’t understand your incredible skill set
Young future apprentices will see this and enjoy
Now on a serious note I think we are going to need a bigger bird/chook for the supervisor with 4 legs
Great video with subtitles and NO cheesy music !
Winning! Hahaa glad you enjoyed it
That is one stout lathe y'all have there! It's built like a Sherman tank!
Your customers have to be happy.... it's got to be way cheaper to rebuild than to have to buy new parts - if they're even available.
It must be a good feeling to know you have the equipment you need to keep your customers going! :)
Hey mate thanks for watching yeah this lathe is my favourite one in the workshop and always great to help our customers out 😎👍
Great to see an Ozzie doing great machining on modern equipment than watching a senior American working on a steam loco.
Thanks for watching mate
Don’t be snarky
Hey mate liking the channel and what im seing
Just a suggestion
We use the tig to tack weld on the machine that way theres no spatter to get anywhere and didn't need to spend time trying to protect everything
Hey mate thanks for watching hahaa yeah I need to put my tig on wheels so I can do that! 🤣
Loving the blue chips. Would enjoy seeing your disassembly bench sometime. Also maybe a explanation of different rod materials and such. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your videos. Shop pups all the way, Zoeys our hose shop puppers and she also enjoys the vids when ur pups got camera time!
Hey Andrew (and Zoey) thanks for watching mate and the feedback will keep that in mind for next time! 😎👍
I have a much smaller ram waiting for me to order in the rod (not exactly an urgent job as I wont need the plow till autumn), it was interesting to see your order of operations and always a pleasure to watch a good tradesman at work
Hey Frank thanks for watching mate glad it gave you an insight! Cheers 😎👍
I thought the pointer on your dial indicator was broken! No wonder you love that chuck. Impressive work. Thanks for sharing.
Hey mate yeah it goes well makes the job more enjoyable! Thanks for watching 😎👍
steady I am also a manual lathe operator in Indonesia, often working on rod excavator cylinders of various types
Good stuff mate 😎👊💥
Hello Hamid Adam may I recommend to you the early videos of Abom79 in Pensacola USA and any videos by Ca Lem in Vietnam . I also love what this channel is doing, brother. You are one of the Elite!
@@mongolike513 yes I often see it on the abom channel too
Bonjour, "Alors !? "Pas sous-titrage donc pas de traduction... 😢 (Sorry for not speaking English).
_Je suis à la retraite maintenant depuis quelques années et j'apprécie beaucoup le travail bien fait de Mr Curtis.

A chiken was harmed in the making of this movie
🤣 was going to put "video dedicated in memory of rubber chicken" hahaa
Hey! Your dial indicator is broken - it doesn't move .. at all.
🤣🤣🤣
How is that 3 jaw so good!?!
What's the name of the four legged co-star - he's got real personality...
Hey mate his name is Homeless, usually goes by Homey 🐾
Hi Kurtis, thanks for the video, stunning filming, we get to see it all, unlike some, and very neat shop I might add , loved the dog tearing up the chuk. Best wishes to all out there , Stuart.uk.
Finally caught up with part 2, bloody superb job. Thanks for sharing
Hey Steve thanks for watching mate glad you enjoyed 😎👍
Gday, Awesome job mate, I just come in from the shed putting my new lathe together, turned the ipad on and what a good way to finish the day off, poor bloody Chook had no change, looked like the drumsticks were a bit stringy, have a good weekend mate, cheers Matty
Hahahaa hey mate got to love a day of work to then watch someone else work 😂 that's the machinist bug. Yeah he ripped that poor chook to bits, it did have some fluff and a squeaker inside but he got all that out too 😂 is your new lathe running or some more work to do to it? Cheers, Kurtis 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I’m retired mate so this is a hobby, got to keep the brain going, I brought a new Hare and Forbes AL960b, hopefully have a short video out on it in a few days, I think that shit they paint on it in the factory must have been on special this month, it was well covered mate.
Anytime you get a three Jaw chuck running true without adjustment on film is a win
Every time I come back to these videos I just am blown away every time at the skills this man has!
Question is can you repair the chicken?
hahaha the chicken is a lost cause 🤣
Very nice repair. It seems that everything you do in your shop is/was well thought out. I like that. I like to do the same. I noticed you left the half-nuts engaged all the time while doing a 12 tpi thread. Does your lathe have a metric leadscrew? Keep up the good videos. Ken
Hey Ken thanks for watching mate glad you can appreciate it. Great minds think alike haha. Yes has metric leadscrew but is equipped with both metric and imperial thread ranges. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Great video. I think one of the cool things about being a machinist and making parts like this is you're the one making possible for one or more people to get their work done. Out of curiosity, how much was that chrome bar? I imagine not cheap.
Hey mate thanks for watching! We don't disclose public pricing as that's an agreement with our supplier 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Ah ok, that makes sense.
Hi mate, how were the holes drilled and threaded into the hardened jaws of the chuck? Also, the new insert was sparking on the induction layer of the rod, is that insert thrown in the bin after getting through that or can it still be used?
Hey mate nothing special just drilled and tap with standard tooling. Just stay away from the jaw faces (internal and external grabbing surfaces) and should have no dramas 😎👍
Hey mate with the insert sparking that was due to the chrome material that sometimes happens. The 1 tip of that insert lasted the whole job and is good for the next. Still another 5 tips on that insert as well 👍
