Definitely do more content of the projects going on in the shop!
Where that livestream at :P
Here Here, this was a cool video.
Yeah theres no way i wuld hav guessed u culd make sumthing like that , that big, in ur shop
Would also be nice to hear the machining sounds.. Slow speed slicing of the steel :)
AGREED!
I would love to see the rigging involved in getting the blank positioned before roughing the first face. I bet that would get some likes!
It was just One Finnish Guy lift Up and holding the big ass pice of metal with One hand and then screwed it on the milling machine with the other hand.
Finnish people are really badass People. 😂👍
@@mrolsen6987 This is true. That's why the Mortal Kombat video game always says "Finnish him!"
@@andycraig7734
Yepp, that is where that comment origin from. The Finnish badass People!
I'am a Swede who grown Up with some of those here in Sweden, so I have seen it My self.
At the age of 9 they can wrestle a brown bear down. True story! Yepp!
Twitch stream....
Annie lifted it into placement
"I think the video turned out to be really interesting...."
Uhm...this is absolutely interesting. Videos like this is what keeps RUclips worth coming back to. There is no doubt that your channels have greatly improved RUclips as a whole.
agreed!
I really like the little bit of cinematography of focusing on the forklift tire when it's picking up that heavy block of steel. Nicely done!
Me: Watches Press Channel just for interesting content
RUclips: Thinks I'm in the market for professional industrial machining equipment and advertises tools I didn't even know existed.
Same here
Ditto....
pfistor I just bought a left handed Kanooda valve made from unobtanium from one of those ads, I don’t think I really needed it either
@@utubeadrianno lol half the stuff is like 40 grand too.
That's what happens when you use google damn spies
I forgot to say on the video but the face of the drill is full of small holes where you install small tungsten bits to do actual cutting. Here is also video about pressing the metal shavings with hydraulic press ruclips.net/video/mAGU9WZv8sI/видео.html
how did the client find your shop? does finland need more machinists?
How do you know when a bit needs to be changed? Is there a sensor or something or do you use the sound it makes as an indicator?
Such an awesome video! Machining porn and also awesome Finnish accent. Made my morning!
@@xAeroSpaceKnightx sound and surface finish
How do you *accurately* place such a big, irregular formed and heavy thing? Like for the last step showed - how do you know the front rotation isnt off by x degrees and that the front is not tilted front- or backwards?
How accurate does the head and holder have to be? 1/10mm or less?
The finnish is really nice on that piece!
lol... i see what you did there.
I think i'm the only one that caught this.
@@carlbraganza7712 it's not that difficult, have a slow clap if it makes you feel better
@@TheHateSpeechChannel "I think I'm the only one that caught this"... case & point (lol).
(did you read the original comment that Carl-Emmanuel Trepanier left? then, after reading his comment, did you read MY comment? the fact that I'm having to explain this to you sort of defeats the purpose of my "I see what you did there" remark)
I honestly can't be bothered to try and explain it to you. Lemming.
@@carlbraganza7712 Everyone gets it. It's not that difficult [to get]. The 52 thumbs up prove my point.
@@carlbraganza7712 I got the joke. Not sure why some people get their panties in such a wad over it though.
You are correct, really large projects like this are not on youtube. I would love to see more of the these big projects.
When your customer received this finished piece, he said, "Pretty goot!"
It's "finnished" ...😜
bellowphone hahaha that had me cracking up
That's cute😀
Prian Purche - I say that all the time ;p
As long as the customer doesn´t say "wat da faak", the world is safe.
What people don't realize there is a lot of stress involved in just owning a business and trying to make a profit one bad cut and the part is scrap. It's amazing how you stay so relaxed about ,I know I wouldn't.
true, guy I know does this and pays a big insurance in case he fucks up
@@masoluboxD what there is a Fuckup insurance? I need this ;-)
Yea think of if the Long big drill boke of in the hole! 😰
Insurance and lots of prior experience. No independent business isn't without risks. Just got to be willing and able to give it a go.
Yeah, there's so many stages where they could ruin that piece. I was fascinated watching it and slightly worried...
One thing that needs acknowledgement is just how well shaped the original forging was.
Yes but 4 times over-size ;)
i dont know anything about machining, but honest to god I figured they were dealing with a near "finnished" product (sorry, I had to).
@@tiamat_023 I mean the orignal thing is more or less easy to make, its hard to get precise with stuff like this. And thats what you need machining for... Especially today everything has to be pretty precise some parts of this size might even need to be 100th of a milimeter exact. Sorry for my bad english*
@@millomweb i was wondering the same thing, why didn't they start out with a precision casting, then to the forge, then to the machine shop...? it seems so much labor, and the best, hardest of the material was machined away, but i am only guessing.
It looks like shit before he machined it
Ex-geotechnical driller here: this is drill bit of down-the-hole hammer, start od central hole must be on specific diameter because there is inserted plastic tube that open blowout valve on hammer body, lower holes are for flushing drill hole, and accorhing to size this looks like head for tower drills for blastholes in quaries
(Flies away in cloud of dust from drilling)
well if that thing gets outer rings i'd imagine the hole it makes to be atleast 1.5 -2 m diameter, for that to be a blasthole sounds like blowing up whole mountain at once and i don't mean just a layer of it.
Yea I was thinking that too. No way would you drill a hole that large for stuffing explosives in.
@@dickJohnsonpeter Well, no _conventional_ explosives.
Looks like its for driving casing, the bit is missing the ring cutter that attaches around the head when the string is rotated clockwise, and left at the bottom of the hole by rotating counter clockwise and pulled out thru casing
They don't air drill in the gulf of Mexico now do they? COMPRESSORS MUST BE MOST EXTREME MACHINES EVER!
This looks like the "pilot bit" for a large DTH hammer (for a company like e.g. Lännen Alituspalvelu if it is for horizontal drilling and for any of a large number of people who do foundations if it is for vertical drilling). It's not necessarily only intend for rock-drilling. Using DTH for advancing a steel-casing or steel-pile in coarse, stony, mixed material is very common.
This pilot bit will be drilled into to accept a large number of "hard metal", cemented tungsten carbide bits. In Finland, which has very hard rock like all the baltic shield countries, they will be the hemispherical kind of button bits; very smooth and not very sharp or pointy. This means slower drilling, but they do not wear down and break as fast as the pointier sphere-cone-shaped bits.
When drilling horisontally, the drill rod also has a large auger that neatly fits into the steel casing. Air from several large compressors (~20 bar-ish) is let through the drill rod to the hammer. The hammer hits this pilot bit, which hits the rock face or soil. In harder materials like rock, only the button bits hit the face; the much softer hardened steel is keept clean by the used air from the hammer, which is channeled to the face of the hammer, blowing away all the small stone chips or whatever is there. The air then is channeled away from the face, around the hammer and into the auger in the steel casing. The drill rod/auger is slowly rotated to remove spoils like an auger conveyor.
The pilot bit is slightly smaller than the casing, so a ring bit is used to ream a hole slightly larger than the casing (this is a wear-part, rather than a many-use-part). The pilot bit has a lot of inertia when it starts moving from being struck by the hammer, and it will hit the ring bit that is usually welded to the steel casing (sometimes there is a bayonett-style coupling). This drives the ring bit and casing forward.
The hammer is rotated slightly after each blow so that the button bits hit slightly different places each blow. They are also distributed on the face of the hammer so as to make almost concentric circles evenly spaced, so that no part of the rock face avoids being hit by the button bits. As the button bits hit the surface, they do exceed the compressive stress of the rock locally, causing crushing into powder; but outside the area hit by the button bit, the buttons cause bending stress. Rock is weak against bending (like unreinforced concrete) so some cracks radiate outward. Eventually different networks of cracks from adjacent hits line up and small stone chips come off the rock-face.
And then everyone has some PB&J and makes some necklaces from the rock chips before having a nap.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. It interesting to know how this will be used.
You said ream the hole
Thanks for taking time to explain this! Surely many people will learn a lot from this, I did anyway.
Thank you very much for this detailed explanation, soylentgreenb! Horizontal drilling fascinates me, and I struggle to wrap my head around all the physics involving bending of the drill string and resulting rotation speed differences. Feel free to keep explaining!
0:31 Respect for giving credit to the folks who built it!
The most amazing part to me are the jigs and clamps that hold everything. It seems like making the parts that hold the metal is a skill by itself.
Half of machining isn’t even making the project, it’s making the tools that MAKE the project
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 more like 80 percent time is wasted in 5th axis fixturing
Juan Hernandez whatever the case it’s still impressive
"The it goes to the heat treating facility"... Dude, get some footage of bringing THAT out of the oven, and into the quench!
Holy fireball Batman!!
Right ? Which lake did they dump it in ??? 😂
@@pentachronic Quench in oil.
I would guess the heat treatment on a piece like this is done with induction
It is mostlikely slowly cooled
I love this kind of heavy machining content. I honestly would love hour long videos of just the lathe work and all the steps. I find it super relaxing to watch the machining. More videos like this please
Master Procrastinator
Abom79
Same here! Thumbs up
I think Cody's lab needs that drill head for his Chicken Hole base.
Yea Robo Cody would make great use of that thing.
Cody will probably make his own equivalent using a couple of old barrels and a rusty anvil.
nahh he just mixes up some nitro glycerine
Agreed
He would just extract all the gold out of it.
It's cool to see the large, industrial equivalent of This Old Tony. Keep this up!
See also: abom79.
I am a cnc programmer and these setups are impressive.
So that's where my former dentist gets their equipment from.
Haha!
my, grandma, what big teeth you have!
Also my proctologist.
William Stark my, grandma, what a big .......... nevermind
If he made it, I'd use it.
I like this and would like to see more, as you say, there isn't much of this on RUclips with this size Machines. Would actually want so see more like how they set it up in the lathe etc but understand the time to be limited. You should mount a camera on each person's head with a battery backpack on their backs ;)
Indeed on smaller scale there’s some machinist on RUclips
But they rarely work on big pieces like these.
Perhaps another secondary channel for this kind of job.
There's Abom79 doing big stuff at his workplace and smaller stuff in his home shop. I can recommend him as he explains every step he does very clearly. I would like more this kind of content from this channel too!
@@jarivuorinen3878 also came to plug Abom79.
@@jarivuorinen3878 yes I'm a subscriber of him but he does not use these size machines that I've seen and he also use imperial units. I also watch This old Tony (awesome funny channel, often do both imperial and metric units) , NYC CNC etc but this is indeed something that is not common on RUclips.
Edge precision is really interesting too. Physically big work
This video is amazing! Never would have thought this is how a rock drill was made. The machinery used is extremely impressive.
This was a great video. I have been fortunate to work in and around some incredible machine shops, including one that made massive components for undersea oil
and gas wells. I hope this video and subsequent ones give more people an appreciation for the work machinists do.
Lathe 5,000,000 :-D
There is something magical about seeing a rough piece of metal slowly transform into something complex and shiny.
I feel like that when I'm playing with my lathe too, just on a much smaller scale!
It's a ZEN moment.
Pretty cool! The shop my grandfather worked in was all marine components, like driveshafts, propellers and hydraulic stuff. The machining for the propellers was very similar to this, big, heavy and slow. This was a cool video, made me think of some really interesting times when I was a kid. Thanks.
Pretty goddamn good. A small shop in Finland getting famous on RUclips for crushing stuff with a hydraulic press making badass parts for mining and tunnel drilling.
Fascinating to see how this big tool bit was made. It's equally impressive to see the amount of equipment needed and tool bits you wear out during the process. Thanks for posting the video!
This is some cool Beyond the Press content.
Agree.
2:00 I use the drill to drill the drill.
Yo dawg, I herd you like drills.
I was thinking they are using drill with coolant to drill a coolant hole in a drill
Drillception...
You know the drill?
I work in a machine shop and do parts up to 5 tons. I run a 120" Vertical Boring Machine. I feel like my job is un interesting, but yet you make it seem so interesting in the video. Great job. Definitly want more machine shop videos. Have a nice day.
Your job is NOT "un interesting", and very important, just not known as you are behind the scenes.
More videos like this would be awesome! Always cool to watch how things are are actually made instead of just seeing a finished product.
As a CNC machinist I enjoy content like this. I'd love to see more of that part of your business!!
Excellent
I definitely want to see more “machining 5 000 000” videos and similar content.
It's always fascinating to see the transformation from a rough shape into a final tool. :)
To me the most amazing aspect of this type of work is that there is no room for an error.
If something gets set wrong or a bit snaps off you have a giant piece of scrap metal.
That's an immediate like.
Now THAT'S Heavy Metal. 👍
Yes, do more videos of these big projects, if affordable! And show more steps if you can.
Music fits to content: heavy metal 😉
Now that's a manly drill!
That's just the tip :)
@@airgunbubba2505 you 2 compare shank size?
A masterpiece in metal, including the music track. The drill is massive.
The video obviously took a long time to make as it follows the process from beginning to end. Excellent job on making both the drill and the video!
I enjoy watching you guys do real life work on insane projects. excellent job on your channel, homey!
Hell yeah! Thank you for documenting the process, I have encountered many big forgings, big CNC-machines and big machined components, but I don't think I've ever seen how such a large forging is actually machined. Im a materials engineer, and whenever I work on making the toughest possible tool steel in the future I will be thinking of what a pain it will be for all the machine operators :)
I'm impressed you turned that project out in a week.
Especially when you consider the stress involved in the machining I mean when you fuck up it's not just a matter of cutting a new piece of the rod stock.
Yes, more like this would be fun.
Wow that’s definitely my favourite video you guys have done in the last 6 months for sure. I really enjoyed the commentary and explanation.
I didn't know that lathes of that size existed! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Brilliant intro, showing the forklift tire squashing down as the load comes on.
Wow, to turn that chunk of steel into that beautiful piece is amazing...I've been around machinist and machine shops for almost a half century...It just never stops amazing me the talent and ingenuity involved in manufacturing things like that cutter head...You do amazing work and no wonder they brought it to your shop...Awesome shop too, it looks like a working area and not some sterile clean room facility...
This channel is a great story of RUclips. Someone shares the joy of improper and safe use of expensive machines and then things get a bit out of hand to the enjoyment of all.
Never in my life would have though that a skid could hold 4 tonnes of steel.
Ive seen more on a pallet if you could believe it.
They move containers taht are like 40 tons in the harbor
Having worked in both automotive and aerospace machining, I love seeing you work on large industrial stuff.
A lot better presentation than "how it is made". Seeing this video heals me.
People can make some amazing machinery that we take for granted. Always fascinating to see...
Several years ago my wife and I hauled a huge bit that was almost as wide as our trailer and around 20 ft. long from a foundry in Duluth, Mn. to a mine on a mountain in the middle of New Mexico. It wasn't machined like this though, unless it was done at the mine later on. I think it was for production in the mill because the business end was rounded like it went into a huge bowl and not shaped like a rock bit and the "shaft" was like a screw conveyor. Everything in that mine was huge. I doubt one of the haul trucks would even notice running over a pickup truck.
Another time we hauled a steam turbine shaft from a power plant near Henderson, NV to get rebuilt in NC. It was driven by steam produced by a natural gas fueled jet engine similar to an F-16 engine, I was told, and had had one of the turbine blades go through it. It was 30 ft. long and weighed 20,000 to 30,000 lbs. The precision of that thing was amazing and the General electric plant we hauled it to had others that weighed over 100,000 lbs and had to be transported on train flatbeds.
having a giant fricken lathe helps a lot.
Alot of people disliked this because they don't like machining, but I like this one alot. It's really cool to see large machining jobs!
Fascinating. Suffering from a lack of TIMO though! ;)
Dude, I'm sure Abom79 is nodding his head. Ace content!
Please do more of this! Really cool to see steel being shaved off like that. As well as the whole process around it.
You're absolutely right - there isn't a lot of content like this on RUclips. I've actually looked for footage of large industrial lathes, and there's very little to be found. Most of that is pretty low-quality, as well. Honestly, Lathe videos can be quite satisfying simply through the process of taking a chunky oblong thing and making it perfectly round :)
This is great, thanks for posting! Industrial processes and big machinery have always fascinated me.
Excellent machining, by the best machinsts in Tampere 🤗. My employer is world leader in Friction welding of API and Geo Thermal drill pipes, we weld the tubes to the Pin and Box connectors. Atlas Copco, Sandvik, Driconeq are just a few Scandinavian companies that have our machines.
Impressive forging, guessing € 15,000 just for the material, ouch!
Many thanks for sharing.
This is the stuff that I've been dying to see from this shop!!!! Awesome!
Alec Steele was so exited about his own milling machine, even saying he loves big machines. I´m pretty sure he´s green with envy when he sees this.
More content like this please!! So interesting seeing your process for large machining projects.
*They're going to use that to drill to the Center of the Earth*
Rock drill vs the globe, will it go trought! 😀
@@Anniarvaja Lauri will make sure it goes through pretty good !
if Earth was flat this maybe could drill through it!
Huge projects like this are super cool. Thanks for sharing the process!
This is still one of my favorite videos from the BTP channel!
Really interesting stuff. Would love to see more things like this. You guys make great content that's always different and interesting. Cheers
Awesome that for what seems like a small shop that you can handle machining such large pieces.
Nice to finally see some heavy machining on youtube. Thank you
I wish RUclips was around when I was fabbing in my shop for the big soil mix augers. This takes me back, good times big projects
Respect!!
Thanks for sharing
Hardcore machining. Much respect.
Intresting och really impressive! Really cool to see those big machines in action.
Been a machinist for more than 40 years , nothing surprised me ,but I still found it to be quite interesting .
More like this! Love this casual style with giant equipment.
Large items like this are incredible to watch. That's a LOT of steel to move around and machine.
Makes you think about the size of the lathe they must have used to machine the titanic, that's right they cut it from one big block of steel
Love this serious content more than your usual shenanigans.
my father and i sat down at lunch and watched the video. he and i were really impressed with the size of the job. well done on filming and im keen to see more
This was really cool to watch since when I was a little kid, my grandpa had a machine shop making stuff like this. My dad still does this kind of work but I haven't really gotten to see much of it up close since I was little.
Awesome video ! I would like to see more big machining projects like this.
That must have taken ages to edit and to film thank you so much for taking the time I really enjoyed it!! 👍👍
I'd love more videos like this, watching the big machines in action is super interesting!
Anyone else stare in amazement at the 4ton of steel spinning at high speed on the lathe. That is a huge amount of kinetic energy just waiting to be released. It would make an incredible mess if it broke free.
Wow.
Imagine your dentist saying "open wide" then coming at you with that drill.
It's the drill that Thanos uses to do dental work on Galactus.
That’s a horizontal face mill
Thats way to big for a dentist to hold.
We call this Wendeplattenbohren in Germany. I guess its turning plates drill then lol...
Yes!!!! Please more of this! Blowing shit up is fun to pass the time but, BUT!!! This shit is way more interesting! The vid and commentary were great! Thanks😎
Totally agree with your comment about there aren't many other channels that highlight large machining projects, hope you do post some since it is interesting to see how shops manage large heavy projects. Cheers!
Yes! Thank you! :)
I’d love to see more projects like that!
Nice, premium craftsmanship!
I felt bad for the cutters cutting through that forge scale haha, awesome vid 👌
Feel worse for the operator that continually has to index the inserts. Probably doesn't dare turn his back on the machine.
The shot of the forklift tire was brilliant. Looked awesome and a great thing to think of filming.
Much respect. That’s an incredible custom machine shop, tools and a talented team. Stay awesome,
Holy smokes, that's crazy big!
Whoa! That is definitely really cool.
BIG Feaking doorstop turned into a drill bit. we will need shops like this on the Moon and Mars.
Wow! You guys have amazing capability. This video is worth watching just for the set ups alone. Thank you of doing this.
I like your choices of music you use with your videos
That is a huge amount of energy skill and time.
I really like watching the big lathes and the making of massive things.
Thank you
This was really cool! I have seen a little small-scale machining but never anything this huge. I would love to see more.
