Line boring and Bore welding CAT 789 Dump Truck suspension part | Sir Meccanica WS2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- In this video we are line boring and bore welding to repair a Caterpillar 789 Dump Truck part. This is the rear strut suspensio rod on the dump truck and the bearing has destroyed the eye. We are using our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable in-line boring and bore welding machine. First we need to grind out as much of the bearing material that is in the eye before setting up and tack welding on the bearing mounts for positioning the line boring machine. We need to line bore out the eye material before bore welding to build up new material and then boring out to spec. The eye is then ready for facing, cutting the chamfers and snap ring grooves before drilling in the holes for the grease port. The job is completed by cleaning up the eye surfaces and press fitting the new bearing into the eye using our hydraulic press.
In this video we are using:
- Sir Meccanica WS2 Portable line boring machine
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- HMP-150T Hydraulic press

@@einzelganger1049 To properly paint would take considerable time, labor, equipment and supplies. And likely not yield much value to the equipment operator vs. getting the part back into service asap.

@@einzelganger1049 "should return it better than he got it" good one. We enjoy comments like these very entertaining 😎👍
"Nearly about 8 banana's".. That's the kind of engineering measurements I can understand!
😂👌🍌 glad that helped
Only works in Australia when the bananas are upside down
How many millimeters in 8 bananas? And how does that translate into imperial standard? 🤪 Just asking for a uninformed Yank. Lol!
@@ralphsmull7049 As he said - 8 bananas is Imperial standard LOL.
Should properly explain bananas and oranges are often used for measuring in Australia when referring to the defunct Imperial standard as a conversion from the decimal system.
What a beautiful ritual to start my friday morning routine: a cup of coffee in my CEE-mug and Kurtis and Karen on YT! What could be better? Have a nice weekend everybody!
Good morning over there mate definitely great way to start a Friday 😎👊💥
I think you mean Karl and Kylie.
WOW its Friday!! I forgot!! Plus its a long weekend now Im extra amped-up.
Yes it is !
Better is an evening can of Heineken
I've been machining over 30 years and that lineboring machine is one of the neatest things I've ever seen.
Isn't it just slots for bore checks slot for dti for cutting tool well engineered bit of kit
Way back in the Ronald Regan era, I was a machinist in the Navy. Watching this video takes me back to my days of maching raw castings for the main fire pumps on a big-ol-horizontal line boring mill. To me, any tool that gets the job done is the right one. I am oh so impressed with how you postioned the supports for the boring bar. A horizontal mill would not have made a bit of difference to the depth of cut, rpm or feed rate. Sure wish I had one of your machines back on the ship. Well done. Very impressive. Thanks for making this video.
Absolutely impressed with your attention to detail and overall work ethic. The repair is worth every penny to the client and your great video work provides a clear and accurate record of exactly what you did. Client can never come back and say you did crappy work. Thanks to you and your wife for sharing this excellent work.
Never give up on your dreams, you'll regret it. I was supposed to be a machinist in the US Navy for tanks and personnel carriers, so this was special for me.
Yes..... just watching Curtis has made me a much better and more meticulous machinist. His setup techniques etc. are rally brilliant, and although my own work is much more modest and on a much smaller scale (I'm a gun smith), I have learned so much and been very entertained, by watching a master at work.
Well there is some chatter on some machined surfaces, not dissing, just pointing out that it COULD be better. (cant it always?)

Kurtis would say that it could be better, but we know that it couldn’t, that’s just Kurtis.
Kurt's, what is "pirosity (porosity, perosity?)" and is there a limit on how many times a repair like that can be done?
I LOVE the clock in the background. It is a great addition for perspective, especially on the time lapse.
Yeah - looked like about a half hour per boring pass (except maybe for the fine stuff that had to go slower).
Two things, 1 I appreciate how you do things the RIGHT WAY, and 2, you show the part on the vehicle you're repairing so we get a better understanding and not feel like a dumb ass. cheers!!
Man, that was intensely cool ! Again, I’m a 68 old man enjoying artistry before my eyes. You are worth the time for me to see this. My best to you and the wife and of course, the safety man !! Thanks
love getting on to youtube and seeing new cutting edge engineering vid every week thanks for all the awesome vids.
Hey mate thanks for watching and glad you enjoy the vids 😎👍
Excellent idea with the clock in the background!
Yay glad you liked that we had a few viewers comment about seeing that in a timelapse 😁
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering appreciated!!!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering excellent choice of a clock, i might add. german tools rock :D
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 👍
@@gabrielecossettini2923 👍
Never even heard of a line boring machine till now. That's a pretty neat bit of kit. Put the part on the milling machine? Na, put the the milling machine on the part.
In the oil industry they have "portable milling machines". That's for working on stuff too big to remove and fit in a workshop. ruclips.net/video/4KuttMB50I4/видео.html is a nice example, but I've seen heavier ones. "Portable" is a relative term, here. It's only more portable than an oil rig :-D
Line boring is common in many machinery applications Cars for instance can use them to remachine or alignbore crank and cam bores when those bores get damaged. I have never seen it done before so its a treat to see the set up.
I'm from the UK, my brother works for CAT
(Finnings) he repairs the big dumper trucks and loading shovels. I've got to say what an amazing piece of engineering...I was mesmerised by your skill....a great watch...👍👍
Thanks for always showing where the parts you repair belong.
You're welcome :)
I'm a german IT guy, so I'm quite far away from even touching anything metal of this size :D But nonetheless I love watching your videos because I love the mindset behind. That perfection is absolutely great to see. (Perfection as in "measure twice, cut once" or "do it right, do it once") Please keep them videos coming. Also a big thanks to Karen/Giggles for that great filming & editing! It's a pleasure to watch!
Hey mate what a great comment thanks for taking time to watch and share your feedback we both appreciate it 😎👍
Yeah! Software engineer here as well and I love this kind of stuff. Greetings from Finland!
Controls engineer here, started out in the same trade different industry, didn't like it and moved on. But for some reason still like watching this stuff (I think for the tools, machines and end product). I live 2 to 2-1/2hrs north of where this workshop is
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering how many different sizes of wire do you use in your shop? and i absolutely enjoy your work you do
Loved seeing the amount of precision put into this. As a former aviation hydraulics mechanic, it was hard to find guys who double check their work constantly.
dont they look like aft trunnion brgs off a 747
OR EVEN ONCE, TODAY KIDS ARE TAUGHT HOW TO PROGRAM A MACHINE!!!!!! I SOUND LIKE MIKE ROWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Machine Repair apprentice this is an absolute treat to watch. Unbelievable skill set.
As a layperson, I find it amazing you can lay down a layer of new welded steel like that and it has similar properties as the original material. You learn something everyday!
Almost like 3D printing.
I'm the same, and I'm equally impressed. Amazing work hey.
I work for Caterpillar on the manufacturing and machining line! We press in cryogenic temp sleeves everyday on similar applications! Alot of our dozer blade lift hydrolics are small bores like this. Alot of our bores are jackec up in machining and we weld the bores back just to be remachined! Its frustrating to me doing this process when a cryogenic sleeve will serve the same function for a fraction of the labor! Its just going to get jackec up again by poor maintenance practice! Great work here! Love and appreciate your pride in craftsmanship! Only if Caterpillar itself could be so true!!
ColinWatters, it's called wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and they are "printing" rocket engines: ruclips.net/video/5AQx6Q3-KnY/видео.html

0:52 "When stuff goes wrong and doesn't get caught in time" is pollitically correct way of saying 'it's munted because of rough as guts operators and fieldies that can't diaganose shit'
Struth, some people can't organise a piss up in a brewery.
Munted. I'm learning to talk Oz with this fly casting video.
Or grease shit apparently
Also known as 'bean counter logic.' As in 'why spend 50 cents on a new copper washer when a new engine is only $20,000.'
I’m a retired engineer who back in the day got involved in similar work to yourself from time to time and it’s nice to see you being as conscientious as I was. Great job
THIS GENTLEMAN IS THE TOP NOTCH OF THE TOP ,,
The explanations of where the bits in for repair are used is great, and the detail of how you are going to progress the work is most impressive, not too much and not too little, just perfect. Thanks Kurtis, Giggler and The Safety Officer.
12:15 am in California and enjoying watching another superb craftsman
Thanks for watching mate 😎👊💥
Yikes I didn't realize it was getting so late! Ah well, time for one more video...
its 1:09 am in California and i have a brisket on the smoker
This guy is a one man army for repairing crazy big metal shit.
The WS2 was designed by geniuses to be be used by geniuses. The welding head to be intregrated into the line borer is brilliant
"Silk purse out of a sows ear"! Persistent, clear eyed work. Thanks for the look, always enjoy the three of you.
You’ve shown us many of your line boring jobs, but this one was specially interesting because of the added details you put in, and the explanations of what you were doing, and why. It’s always a pleasure to watch you at work! Cheers!
Hey mate glad you enjoyed this one and thanks for the great feedback. Cheers, Kurtis
The first half of the video I kept thinking, “but now the hole is going to be too big, won’t it?” About the half way mark my mind was blown. I simply had no idea you could do that, let alone that such an amazing system of boring out and replacing the material existed. Thank you for sharing this, and great job well done!
Everything is just massive in that industry, Such a huge amount of consumables go into an effective repair, A pleasure to watch a no shortcuts taken quality repair. Much respect.
Well, considering the welding as a follow-up operation using the same work setup, not having a horizontal mill isn't such a disadvantage for that particular job. Great vid as always!
Yeah you've got that right, the portable WS2 sure makes the setup a breeze
Good point
Thank You Mrs Kurtis for bringing us all along!!!
I think you said your name is Karen, as is my sister,,, not the name for the current times you said.... LOL... You make this channel AWESOME... keep pissing off Kurtis (Carl) so we can all enjoy his misery... hahahaha...
It's a Pleasure to watch a Man who really knows what he is doing. Well done Sir
I am machinist, I enjoy your videos. High standard of quality and workmanship, you do on every job.
These videos, while a bit of a pain to make, are a really good advertisement for your business. The people who pick up the phone should be in no doubt about the quality of the work and way you conduct business. 👌
Spending good money to have it fixed right so it won't happen again is Money in the Bank.
Something not right about the setup: Homie has a helicopter and Kurtis has to make do with a scooter for company transport. Good on you Karen for exercising editorial control so we could witness this !
Now you know who makes the big bucks and it ain't me 😂
every people will be very grateful if there is machinist like this in their town or city, good work mate
That's gold!
In case we didn't know where the damage was.... ...
CEE never fails to amaze me at the sheer amount of skill had in repairing rarely manufactured, really expensive parts. CEE you guys do amazing work and I truly hope you all are paid what you most certainty are worth.
There's a reason he has so much shit and a whole yard small teams dream of just by himself.
Admirable attention to detail and an impressive repair sir.
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
Never saw this kind of boring before. I thought I was doing good with my Van Norman boring bar working out a bad cylinder in an engine. Love your vids !!!!!!
The bloopers/outtakes are the icing on the cake.
I love it!
'How its made: Australian steel wool'
What an Friday! Watching you creating some magic, wearing the CEE cap and, I have to add, what a first class packaging, what a style!One must keep the box.
Hey mate that's ultimate CEE viewer style right there haha. Glad you got your merch thanks for the great feedback
It’s just amazing to me how good the jobs turn out- I watch this channel and before I know it an hour goes by. Fascinating
Ok, that was a stunning video. This was raw and visceral man, metal and machine. You, sir, are a gem.
Me: That looks like a pallet out of that cnc machine
Kurtis: this is a pallet out of that cnc machine
😂
hahahaa we knew people would be asking/thinking it 😂👍
That's not a pallet. THIS is a PALLET.
Always impressed by your work. I do aerospace stuff on the daily so while I cut metal, you're in a whole different world and it's awesome to see.
The handy arrows reminded me of when you put "music" up in writing when you add music to the videos. It helps 😀
When you first picked it up with the strap throught the eye and as you took the weight and lifted, the strap slides around the eye against the sharp worn edges on the inside of the eye.its so easy to cut the lifting strap.As always love watching your work , another great job 👍
What a kick ass demonstration 🤘🏻love watching that line bore rig in action. Does a multitude of different tasks
The last :25 was the cherry on top. Kurtis does have a soft playfull side lmao. Thnx for another great video.
Hahahaa yeah she was bloody meant to keep that footage in the vault 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Sure and we all saw the hot pink scooter!
Thanks. It's always a pleasure to see someone who is good at what they do on the job.
Fascinating!!! I welded every which way except plasma ( 😒), & also worked with prototype welding machines, bore welding nozzles for caustic chemical tanks (stainless steel weld over mild steel). It was particularly pleasing to see one man who did the whole job beginning to end. Give him a raise - he's a keeper. Thanks also for the bloopers 😇, all in good clean fun!!! Kind regards 😊!
Fantastic, get to watch it early again, I'm sure it'll be as awesome as ever, thanks Kurtis and Karen👍🏻
Yeah this was a good one and a nice before and after on it! Enjoy mate
I'm impressed, from the back story last week on how CEE came about and what you guys have put together as a couple (with a little help no doubt from the safety officer), the work ethic of do it right and do it once and the video editing by Giggles (sorry Karen), this channel is a welcome start to a Friday morning. Incidentally I liked the time lapse with the clock in the background.
Hey mate this is such a great comment thanks for watching, supporting and commenting! Cheers
I couldn’t agree more - the addition of the wall clock during the timelapse sections really does illustrate the painstaking work that K&K put into every facet of the jobs.
A truly great channel/duo.👍👍👍
👍
Say it louder for the people in the back!!
As a Mechanic that hobbies as a machinist this was completely awesome to watch. I want that bore welding setup that thing was cool when it was doing the cut, then BOOM it can weld it back in also. Such cool toys to play with.
i have a new passion. line boring. i didn't even know what line boring was until i watched these vids but I am now hooked!!
Enjoyed the clock in the background.
Quote of the day "Put a nice big bit of something heavy underneath it" :)
🤣👍 go big or go home hahaa
Your wife is awesome with the camera!!!!!! Being a machinist I really enjoy you, your wife and your mucher he is AWESOME. Thanks a bunch y'all!!!!!!
It can never be to tight and let’s just fucken do it are the Little gems in the blooper roll only a true blue Aussie can pull off keep it up jooga
Sheer magic, one of the few videos i didn't fast forward at any time. Keep 'em coming
Love watching the machining and get a kick out of the bloopers at the end of all of your videos. Keep it up, and can’t wait to see the next one.
Love the outtakes. Nothing like the human side.
This is the first one of your videos I have ever watched, and this is absolutely amazing! You elevate your craft to the level of art. Thank God we have RUclips to give a forum to such amazing exihibitions of skill/art that previously existed in obscurity.
Love how you put the clock in the shot. I never knew how long it took to do each job. Keep it up you two.
Love how you used the cordless screwdriver to drill-out those oil-paths instead of some fancy magnetic column drill that takes forever to set up.
Seems to be the motto of your shop: precision where it counts, quick where it doesn't.
And get it done!
"...it can never be TOO TIGHT" - words to live by
Thanks for sharing this - it was absolutely awesome. I have no engineering background but love to see how things are put together. I had no idea so much work went into something as simple looking as this. You guys are ROCK!! Love the dawg ...
That particular piece you repaired in this video, I weld them when they are raw from casting. Interesting to see what it looks like in final form and see how it preforms over time.
what does this particular peice do?
@@B1gDaddy1 In the video he shows it on the back of a large rock truck on the back axle where the air bag sets.
“It spits sh*t everywhere” - now that’s a hoody waiting to be made!
Watched and enjoyed this 3 months ago. It’s great being old and bonkers cos here I am enjoying it all over again.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time! I struggle to work to the nearest half inch, never mind the micron tolerances you are working to here. Amazing work! Good on you, Mate!
Perfect addition to my breakfast
warm greetigns from Austria 🇦🇹🤙🏼
Greetings mate have a good Friday
It’s going to be a good Friday 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
It's been a good Friday! 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Right!
I,'m impressed! Put another shrimp on the barby!
I thought i knew a lot but after watching your videos I'm amazed at how little I knew.
Thanks both for another weekly dose of quality. That welder lays that on so smooth.. Gives you a decent base to work on. Fully agree on the new price vs recon /repair economy.
It's not the welder, it's the welding machine that was designed to weld these bores. I am from the old school where we welded the bores up by hand, either by stick welding or by flux core wire !!
Great job as usual. I wanna have a t-shirt with "it never can be too tight" on it. Your vids are always a good start of the weekend.
Hey mate thanks will put that in the t-shirt ideas list!
I am in absolute awe at your skill Curtis🇬🇧🇬🇧👋👋👋👋👋
I get everything about this is absolutely incredible, but I'm just so shocked that the welder was able to put down such an incredible bead that left such a clean surface. Awesome Video!
nice job....
as an old machinist i really enjoy watching your repair vids, they are really great....
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share them 😊
beauty is in the “EYE” of the beholder.
Looking good! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Good one 😂👍
Sir you broke me. Never anticipated a dad joke here. Well played!
@@brianfeddersen3528 one of the privileges of being a dad 🥸
I think showing the "Boss" at 22:28 was one of the best parts...(Shop Dogs are always a good break from the monotony of work.) - The Outtakes were AWESOME!
Great job... It's shops like this that get a good reputation and stay busy. It's all about paying attention to the devil in the details and DOING A JOB RIGHT! Loved the end of the video stumbling through a few words... I can relate to the little retakes and dings when doing videos like this.
People like CCE are true salt of the earth, for they have the integrity and skill sets ,do it right and will not compromise.
the clock in the time-lapse is a very nice toutch!
Glad you liked that thanks for watching
There's no doubt about it this fella is the top go to guy on everything to do with this specialist shop engineering this young man is worthy of every penny he demands, this kind of expertise is like gold dust to the heavy plant equipment and industry, you can't get this level of expertise anywhere if your not going to replace with brand new replacement parts!..
As a machinist who worked in a shop for 40 years i never saw that type of machine. I guess that is more of a field machine. great job. watched whole video. I would have done it same exact way but on a boring mill.
Some day when I grow up, I’d like to know half of what you do! Great work as always. Keep the family happy!
Cara você é bom mesmo e sempre muito bem equipado. Parabéns pelas usinagens de reparação de ótima qualidade em peças gigantes!
Love to see someone doing his job properly. I'm not in your trade, but I appreciate it when people take what they do seriously, and have the knowledge to do so, as well. Cheers to you from Germany, and keep up the great work.
Honest work is always the best work.
Good to see good old Australiain integrity on workmanship
Best thing to watch after a long boring day of school 😂
I wish RUclips was around when I was in school 😂👍
School will teach the skills needed to do the amazing things Kurtis does here!
I can only stand and watch in awe! You have an enormous set of tools and (more importantly) you know exactly how to use them and find individual solutions for difficult tasks. You must have many years of previous experience and love for your work.
As a German pediatrician (with a small lathe and a milling machine in the basement) I am quite far away from what you do, but you motivate me nevertheless. Keep up your perfect work and the videos, please! Many greetings!
I don't know why but this is my favorite how to video site.......really, I'm a retired elevator mechanic......big and small.....aircraft to people lifts I built and repaired them !! I just love how Curtis is so damn precise with everything........,cheers to that mate !!! Hard to find these days in America as the blue collar trades need bodies but young men these days don't know how to work hard !!!!
"can never be too tight"...giggles
I see that Management has now got a clock on you - not satisfied with the pace or work? Great technical work and great videography too. Thanks for making these videos.
He might not be able to talk the talk , but he can definitely walk the walk ! tip my hat to him !
It always make me smile when you pull out a steel measure.
