Hello Max, Good video, it is interesting to learn how you can piece together material to make the final part rather than rush out to buy metal to make it out of one piece.. Thank you. Take care. Paul,,
The speed you turned those chuck jaws round and tried up that first billet should put shivers down the spines of Adam and Keith in the 4-jaw chuck competition if you ever make it to the Summer Bash!
G'day Max .. very nice watching the hub coming to shape. After you press fit & weld the centre tube into place, are you re- machining the I D as well as Cluch hub ? Back into Alignment
Hi Max Ian langley here again from New Zealand. I like the way you use a 4 jaw chuck and how quick one can set up a work piece. I always use a 4 jaw and would prefer a 4 jaw over a 3 jaw for holding power. Also I noticed and listened to your comment about chip control on small DOC's. I used to be New Zealand Sales Manager for Seco Tools (I am now retired) and we had an insert that was great for finishing. The swarf came off like little bits of fly dirt. If you are handy or have a Seco Tools supplier handy I suggest you try the following - TNMG 160404 FF1 in TP2500 grade or CM grade (Cermet). FF stands for Fine Finishing and 1 represents chip breaking on a scale of 1 to 10 with one being for very fine finishing cuts. I have a few other suggestions as well but try that out. I assume you are in Australia, If so you can contact Seco Tools directly, just check their website for contacts. Cheers Ian
Thanks Ian . Yes Australia , started my apprenticeship at Woburn railway workshops near Wellington back in 82 . That insert was a Mitsubishi 160408-MA , a good general insert for most work . I may have some 04's in the drawer , i will check . At the end of the day , it's more economical for myself to run a small nose rad insert on a small shank tool . Cheers .
@@swanvalleymachineshop Hi I did my apprenticeship with the Union steamship company back in the early 60's and carbide was in its early days here in NZ. With my job at Seco Tools I visited pretty much all the machine shops in New Zealand and know the railways operation well. We supplied the wheel turning inserts on the hegenscheidt under floor lathes - now that was insteresting turning maganese steel with hard spot. Very poor chip control as well. All good stuff. Cheers Ian
@@ianlangley987 The under wheel lathes were impressive as i remember . Wouldn't it be a small world if you supplied the Seco boring bar that i used in the video . It came from my Dad's business , Porirua Engineers Ltd , just near Wellington . Most of the lathe tooling was Seco & Carboloy , bought in the early / mid 70's .
@@swanvalleymachineshop Hi Max. I worked for Carboloy NZ until it was bought by SecoTools Sweden and then I switched hats to Seco. Seco is a specialist carbide and tooling manufacturer where Carboly was owned by GE and their main focus was on jet engines etc and carbide was just an add on for them. Trade Tools in Wellington probably sold your dad the borning bar as they were Carboloy agents until Seco bought Carboloy and then they too switched over to Seco. Seco have some really great products, especialy milling. Anyway enough of that. Keep up the goodworkand I look forward to watching more of your film clips. If you have any questions regarding carbide feel free to make contact with me. Cheers Ian
Yeah, isn't trying to weld crap die cast fun . . . at least with your new part it won't have the same problem again. I have trouble getting chips to break a lot of the time too, but also need to experiment with tools other than CNMG geometry.
Probably worse !!! . Still . I had to confirm my suspicions . Would have been a bugger to make a new hub , then find the old one welded fine ! Thanks .
Material is never scrap until it is hauled off in a bin to the happy hunting ground of a furnace to be reborn. Recycling metals is the worlds second oldest profession.
@@Exit13Boxing Hey i had a look at the ebay ones . You would be able to pick one up ex USA for a fraction of the cost of getting a set machined up . It would be over 2k just in machining as a one off . 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop thank you for looking into this for me and I hope that's almost what I paid for the bike ....shoot me a email a machinist in my contacts is nessasry
This was a fun project to watch. I was trying to second guess every step and got some cool surprises. Thanks as always for sharing your work.
Cheers Rob .
From scrap. I know wat it is. It's always nice to see how some scrap turnes in to a useful part.
Yes . Out of the bin & reborn !!!
NIce job turning scrap into a nice repair. Thx for taking the time to share this.
Thanks John .

Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul . If it's not a super critical part it's a good way to go . If it was a paying customer job , then it would generally be new steel .
You would make a great instructor. Your detail of what you are doing has great clarity in explanation. Thanks for your time.
Cheers John .
G’day Max the camera action was great and clear as well. I’ll have to wait to see how you tackle the rest. Cheers. Peter
Thanks Peter .

tried = trued
£¢*#¥€ autocorrect!
There would be some worried faces if i showed up ! I could see that belt hanging from the new shop wall !!! Funny thought , Cheers .
@@swanvalleymachineshop I'll pitch in a few bucks to get you over here. :)
We need to get a few of together and go for a look ..
Very enjoyable to watch after work with a beer, thanks for sharing.
Thanks .
G'day Max! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
Thanks Yves . Cheers .
G'day Max. Nice work on the new clutch up. I've got a feeling that will never wear out a second time LOL. Cheers buddy, Aaron.
Thanks Aaron .
Thanks for the video Max.
Cheers Don .
G'day Max, I'll catch this later, just working out the best way to break some milling cutters ffs lol
They break easy !!!
Gday Max, it’s going to be a much stronger hub then the original, great video as always, Cheers
Cheers Matty . It will not flog out like the original .
Great job Max, that's going to be an incredibly strong unit once complete. Showing off your 4 jaw skills mate, nicely set up. Cheers, Jon
Thanks Jon .
Good stuff as usual, enjoyed. Cheers.
Thanks Paul .
Very beautiful sir..thank you for the information..hope for more success
Thanks .
Superb video as usual
Cheers Chris 👍👌
Thank you .
G'day Max .. very nice watching the hub coming to shape. After you press fit & weld the centre tube into place, are you re- machining the I D as well as Cluch hub ? Back into Alignment
Yes , the whole thing will be machined for weight reduction .
Good show squire. Crafty. Hi from the Netherlands
Thanks Mate . Cheers .
good job max
Cheers Mate .
Greetings Max, Always nice 2 see u.
Thanks Rick . Cheers .
Looking good Max. It's going to be way better than the original
Thanks Randy .

Great job max, going to be a much better part.
Definitely . Cheers .

As you know these small lathes have a horsepower disadvantage with a reasonable cut on to break a chip in some materials .
Is a replacement OE or used part unavailable?
You can still buy a new part , probably made in china now days . Doing this job to help out my son in law ! Cheers .
Nice one Max. Hehehe ..... not the first time you have centered a workpiece in a 4 jaw eh?
Hi Robert . Not my first rodeo with a 4 jaw ! Cheers .
Hi Max. What's the throat diameter of that chuck? Is it the same as the 3 jaw?
I will get back to you on that one ! Cheers .
Trying to weld die cast is like trying to weld wheel weights.
Probably worse !!! . Still . I had to confirm my suspicions . Would have been a bugger to make a new hub , then find the old one welded fine ! Thanks .
How much more than the original does it weigh and will that effect the performance on the engine?
I will do a weight comparison when finished . I will be making it as light as possible . Thanks .
That spigot metal looks too good for that part. Could you use something else?
Just what i had on hand . 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop Fair enough.
Time off from the shed. .
You have to have a break now & then ! Cheers .
Abom speed on that indicating
Cheers Brad .

Always hidden parts inside , just have to peel off the outer layers !
Can u make me a clutch basket and hub for my 2000 zx7r
Are they not available any more from the dealers or wreckers ?
@@swanvalleymachineshop Yeah only ebay used parts available
