That new tool post looks like it means business. Looking forward to seeing that setup. I rolled the dice on one of the Aloris China clones and it's been good, but that thing is gorgeous. Great video as always.
Nice to see the JFMT working well for that rush job. Certainly worth the effort in bringing it back to working order. The tool post holder swap from Curtis & Karen will provide a very useful upgrade. :)
Great to see the JFMT & Eutectic flame spray making you a buck at long last. Was definitely worth the effort you put in to get the JFMt to where it is now & not a whole lot more left to do to get it how you want it. I’m guessing a DRO won’t be cheap because the X axis scale will need to be a mile long. 😳😳 As long as the paying jobs fund the upgrades your on a winner. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
So nice to watch process Max. Here in Washington state, US, many of the harvest machines for small grains, tillage and forestry require shaft refit to tolerance for operation. Besides the dimension as seal or bearing, recondition to wear as auger (flighting) are treated to flame spray with hard face to resist wear. This type as refit or recondition has caused a wide range of spray mixture. That as an advantage to job demands but create also, a high price to some as admixture. Surprisingly, soil type(s) are a key factor as abrasion where crop or tillage meet design. Some of the jobs I have observed naturally as hot work require particular care and pre heat to task. >"flame on, Max. M.
Enjoy your videos very much, keep them coming. It must be a little cool in the Perth area. You were wearing a jacket and Triumph hat. Keep your trade secrets as you had a learning curve when you first started working with Flame Spraying technology.
Like you say Max no apologies necessary. One of my manufacturing departments had a flame spray process where we sprayed Ceramic powder on ceramic parts. in the beginning we used Oxy-Map gas and years down the road we converted over to Plasma Spray. The company we bought our powder and spray equipment also sold metal powder to TRW and Seal Power to coat piston rings. We also had a platinum process that used 99.9999% pure platinum. Over the course of 1 year, we spent more on the powder than the Platinum. Thanks as always for bringing us into your shop.
What I’ve always wondered about this process is how does this affect gear or spline teeth on the shaft if they’re hardened? I don’t think that question is violating your national secrets act, but if it is I understand.
It is a low temperature process , has no effect on the heat treatment of the adjacent areas that are sprayed . But you have to keep within specific temp ranges . 👍
Great vid - thanks 👍 Not wanting to know anything about your trade secrets, but it would be interesting to see the firework show you can get when the flame is not on a workpiece 🎇 All the best, Paul
I make videos but there is the issue of trademans secrets. So the sensative 1's I only show to only some people. There seems to be a amateur side & an indepth full description. Very difficult to put all the pieces together in 1 video. Leadscew magic.
I need to find one of those torches and learn how to use it. It looks very handy for such a situation. It is very likely you will never ever plunk another one in and have it go to zero either...LOL Nevertheless thats cool. I know I have never been that close maybe .005" and that might be stretching the truth some. 😁 Loving the content lately Max. You have come up with some fun stuff. Not Tham I am pushing....But when is the HBM going to get some love?
Max, you might consider Kurtis’ soft jaw system …He has shown it in video. Punches through hard layer with Carbide, then drill and tap face of jaws to neatly hold copper jaw covers
Thanks for your channel etc. Love your no bullshit approach and content. And oh yeah, you deserve a you suck for nailing that 4 jaw centrering. Steve in the middle of murica.
Max, if you had had coolant on the JFMT lathe, could you have used it on the flame-sprayed OD? Or is the built-up material too "porous"? Also, do you use your "normal" digital caliper to measure the hot surface to see how much more material you to add, or a caliper dedicated to your flame-spraying? This video is a definite thumbs-up!
Yes , i could use coolant when it is hooked but no real need for it . I use what ever callipers are close ! Usually the digital as they can be read quickly & they are not in contact long enough for the heat to have any effect . Cheers 👍
Great work as always Max. All the little details of doing great work. I know you have some bits still to do on the JFMT did you level up the machine? Cheers
Nice feature on the JFMT to reverse the feed, I had to reach over to the headstock on the DSG, bit awkward. Talk about rush jobs, i had to make a propeller shaft coupling back in the mid nineties for the STS Leeuwin, she had to sail the next morning. Taxi arrived with an 8" billet of K 1035 at 5 PM. The old DSG worked hard, spigots on both ends of coupling and reamed coupling bolt holes. Got it too the shipyard at 11PM, still warm. She sailed the next morning.
G'day Max, just back from an all nighter with my club 🎉, Happily nodding off and rewinding this mate lol, great stuff indeed, thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Mate . Sounds like you had a good one ! 👍
Another winner. Thanks, Max. That shipping time is really long, but probably a lot better than the pain of quick shipping on the wallet.
Great outcome . Thanks Rob . 👍
Nice show. It is important to guard your trade secrets.
Just the important ones ! 👍
Thanks for that Max. Yep! Don’t give all your secrets away. 👍🇳🇱
Cheers 👍
Nice work. I bet that torch comes in handy when one of those big nasty spiders comes wandering into the shop. 😀
Lol , yes . Size 10 boot is cheaper ! 👍
Flame spray kits are earning there keep... Helping keep the lights on..
Turned out real nice, that's a win. 👍👍
Cheers Dean 👍

Great job Max, nice jewelry for Big Olga too!
Thanks 👍
Nice work Max you have to keep those customers happy. Thanks for bringing us along.
Cheers 👍
Great Job Max. I would love to add metal spraying to my shop. Maybe someday.
No worries 👍
Great video - thanks for showing us what you can. Totally appreciate that you need to protect trade secrets. 👍👍
Cheers 👍
Hi from Nacogdoches, Texas. More beautiful work from a true master craftsman.
Thanks 👍
Crazy stroboscopic effect while metal spraying (about 3:30) - chuck and splines reverse and gear turning forwards.
Good job, Max!
Cheers 👍

Great job and what a fantastic gift in the mail. . Wooo hooooo
Thanks . I wish it were a gift , i bought them ! Just had good help from the USA end of the deal . 👍

There are some very hard powders that can be sprayed . They all need pre heat , i just skipped that part in the filming . Cheers 👍
Great show! Look at those cutters!
Nectar from the God's there Don ! 👍

Cheers . It is still bloody cold ! 👍
Another great vid mate thanks for sharing!!
Cheers 👍
Cutommer back on track again.
And nothing wrong with keeping things secret.
Cheers Rusty . 👍
code reds ok just as long as it didn't end up a code brown - any pictures of the vintage "automotive" parts in situ yet?
No code browns yet ! The other thing is being assembled at the moment . 👍

Nice job as always - 👍😎👍
Sparrow Farts sure come early don’t they 😂🤣😂
4:30 am the sparrow farts ! 👍
Thank you Max!
No worries 👍
Hi Max, You do have a way with words my friend, SPARROWFART, for instance, brilliant. Keep em coming, best wishes, Mal.
Cheers 👍
Enjoyed watching the metal spraying process Max. The built up metal looks like it machines like cast iron. Cheers Tony
Yes , some of it does . It can also wear the end of a carbide tool ! Cheers 👍
Earning whilst burning Max, another job out the 🚪 door 👍
No worries 👍
With your luck at centering in the 4 jaw I would immediately go out and buy some lottery tickets - you never know😊
I should have !!! 👍
Enjoyed!!!
Thanks 👍

I never spray it in the air , the crap goes everywhere ! 👍

If I’m within 50thou I’m bloody ecstatic 😃👍
@@davidcat1455 Amen to that brother. 50 Thou is a great day🤣
I was hoping to start the HBM later this year . Cheers 👍
Max, you might consider Kurtis’ soft jaw system …He has shown it in video.
Punches through hard layer with Carbide, then drill and tap face of jaws to neatly hold copper jaw covers
I will be trying that method when i get a 3 jaw chuck for the JFMT . 👍
Hope you can get an apprentice in there to pass along your experience to.
That would add massive overhead costs that i do not need at the moment ! Cheers 👍
We call this sudden service, you don't always get it, but cash helps!
Lol , cash is good . Things just have to go through the books when dealing with large companies ! Cheers 👍
Thanks for your channel etc. Love your no bullshit approach and content.

trade secrets!! love it
No worries . Some companies , it is strictly confidential . 👍
How long does this type of repair last as I can remember having a crankshaft metal sprayed, it didnt last long.
It can last longer than the original surface . You have to know where & when it can be used . 👍
very good job friend max
Thanks 👍
Thx for the vid.
Cheers 👍
Now you have made me curious about the metal spraying, what is the secret, max?
just kidding.
cheers
ben.
Lol , No secret but the secret parts are secret !!! 👍👍👍
great job
Thanks 👍
Thanks Max 😁
No worries 👍
Great work as always Max. All the little details of doing great work. I know you have some bits still to do on the JFMT did you level up the machine? Cheers
Still have to do the final level . Cheers 👍
Hi Max, where can I get a spare belt for my waldown tool post grinder? thanks
Rydell Beltech can make them up . 👍
surprised this is done on the big fancy lathes and not like a welding positioner or something cheaper ... obvy theres a reason but idk what it is.
Easier in the lathe , saves an extra set up . 👍
Bom trabalho amigo!!!
Thanks 👍
chips are like cast iron not stringy thats a Bonus.
Very much like cast , but with great wearing properties . They will wear the end straight off a carbide insert if turned too fast . Cheers 👍
Jobs a good un.👍
Yep ! 👍
👌
Thanks 👍

And we were still putting the engine room together to running stage as we were being pushed down the slipway lol
No pressure there ! Cheers 👍
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
thanks for the video
No worries 👍
