- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- In this video we are making Equalizer Bar Ends to go on a Caterpillar D10 Dozer. The bar ends are used as replacements when an equalizer bar gets damaged. We have four to make and show the step by step process to turn high tensile plate into the completed parts. We start with machining and boring the parts on the lathe and also cut the snap ring grooves. Then it’s over to the milling machine for face cutting, drilling and tapping of the holes for the grease ports. The parts are finished off with a clean up & anti-rust spray. We will be keeping one of the completed ends for an upcoming repair job so keep your eye out for that!
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine

I went to an engineering shop the other day and as I walked in they were talking about how good this channel is. You got to be good when you are the topic of conversation in other engineering shops.
The reason CEE is one of my favourite channels is because Kurtis takes the time to give reasons why he does what he does.
Being a retired plumber/drainer myself, I have spent many many years teaching apprentices how to work efficiently. I have always told my boys that ten minutes thinking saves hours of work.
Instead of jumping haphazardly and having to do it again, take a little time to work out how to make your job easier and hence more efficient. The boss will love ya for it, *don't you agree Karen? * 👍😂🤣😂🤣😎
Way to go Kurtis. always impressed with your work.
Cheers
Ian
Hey Ian spot on 100% agree and the big boss gives the thumbs up too 🤣👍
Hello sir think I should introduce you to anOther Australian plumber/Drainer, or maybe you already watch him
ruclips.net/user/DrainAddict
the 5 P's rule right there, couldn't agree more mate
It's said to, measure twice and cut once. It should also be a saying to, think twice and act once. :). Kurtis would be training up top notch engineers for the future if he took on apprentices. I suspect he might be a bit like Gordon Ramsay though, not nasty just passionate that they do it right.
It is so nice to see Safety Officer Homeless again, I feel like I want to give him a hug each time I see him. ❤️🐕🐶
Kurtis and Karen...... I have to tell you, right from the start of the video I was already imagining the outtakes........ 😀 Great work team! This never gets boring!
I can't explain how much I enjoy watching Kurtis work...and big props to Karen for her editing and shooting! I work in TV - have since '94, and good editing just makes things more enjoyable and understandable for the viewer. I grew up around farming, and my dad and uncle had an old Atlas lathe that they'd make parts on. They later got a 12 foot bed lathe from an old sugar factory so that they could do bigger machining, but it was never done with the precision and dedication you both display. Always a great watch!
Shout out to Karen, the videography and editing of these vids keeps getting better. I work in IT and hate using big power tools, but these videos are the highlight of my Friday!
Karen’s camera work is getting so good. Love the shots of the drill bit coming through and those slo mo shots were professional 👍.
Hey Greg thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked that 😁
I agree! It was fascinating to watch the heat of the bit provide the outline of the new hole just before the bit broke through. Just a little quirk to watch for.
Got to give props to Karen for the top notch video editing on this one - kept it interesting and entertaining!
Thank you so much Kurtis for continuing to share your work with us. I find it infinitely rewarding to be in the front seat in your shop.
Karen, the editing and the camera angles on this one were another masterpiece again. Loved your use of slo-mo and time lapse. Also, the sound was spot on 😊
Really appreciated you breaking down the "why's" & "how's" of your machining process! Incredibly valuable knowledge that gets shared every Friday from you guys and incredibly entertaining to watch as well! Can't wait to continue to see what y'all come up with for the Friday's to come! Thanks again for doing what y'all do!
I know some people don't like the informational stuff and talking, but I really enjoy and appreciate the knowledge as well. I love learning about stuff like this. I just hobby weld and such for now, but this definitely interests me as a career. I hope to learn as much as I can until then
The content you folks make is top notch to say the least but the bloopers at the end of all the videos is the icing on the cake! Thank you for sharing all that you do with us!
Anyone else get @AvE vibes with cutting the straps with grinder?
This is such an awesome channel for real world repairs done right!
Cheers from Canadurp!
Thankful that Kurtis is.....well........Kurtis, as for AvE..........no comment.
yes ! Kurtis only has to learn the two German words and use the Borsch Minichainsaw when "unboxing" that would be "sehr perfekt."
I've been waiting for a Time! call when Homey does the unboxing!
Great work as usual Kurtis. I enjoy watching the work you perform on real world maintenance and repair that goes on in the heavy industry world. Love the work both of you do including Homeless. Karon's work and editing is great as well. I hope the two you get some time off now and then from your busy schedule.
Thanks from here in the US.👍
I just finished watching The History of Cutting Edge Engineering, "Our First Q&A | Merch Shop Launch" from a year ago. Thank you so much for that post. It answered a lot of questions I had.
Awesome mate glad that helped and thanks for watching!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Look forward to every video.
This is the only case where I have seen a non round piece on a lathe chuck. Thanks for that. haha. This channel is great!
I got to say the Wifey is quite the videographer, Well done!
And Curtis, the same to ya machining and repair is spot on!
Always like Homeless.
Great job on your channel and great work on that massive equipment. Excellent attention to detail. I've been a machinist for 30 years and have seen real shitty work along the way. Your process steps in manual machining are spot on. I feel like you about working alone because it's so hard to find the right person who can work in sync with me to my personal standards. Much respect from Maryland U S A You get a10 Banana's rating...
You’re always learning the inserts. That’s why I keep a good variety around.
Homey was definitely going after a particular toy to chew today and was not going to be distracted from his task!
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Starting the tap with the machine, to make sure it is absolutely straight, and then finishing it by hand is a Master class in creating threads. Something I will remember for the future. Cheers.
Some super editing sequences, very well thought out!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😄 Karen
Right, I was going to write the same thing! : )
Two Thumbs Up!! 👍👍 Great background music and perfect volume!
Editing is a standout alright.
A lot of thought and care goes into the the pacing, presentation and documenting.
Interesting to watch for people of all levels of engagement with the subject.
@@Dug6666666 Well said! I just love how these two folks work together at the highest levels of their crafts.

Great work. Maybe it's just because I'm half deaf but the train never sounds that loud to me. When my twin girls were young we used to chase trains and finally ended up with them riding in the engine of the "local" train that shuttled the cars around all over town and took the empties out to be picked up by one of the larger trains. We had a lot of fun on non school days. They got a lot of gifts from the crews as they had become mascots.
Take care,
jack
Come here to see Homey, stay to watch cool fab work... and outtakes. 😄
Homey intro, Homey outro. There's no other Homey like our Homey.
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up!💛
Thank you! Will do!
Karen, just loved how you captured the escaping spirals as they wove through the centre of the lathe to do the dance of the swarf curls on the workshop floor. Excellent camera work & entertaining editing. You guys are a great team. I understand how Homie gets to make his enjoyable appearances each show, but hey what about a little more of Karen in the kontent?
im glad i work night shift in the USA so i can watch these videos almost right when they go live!
haha nice one mate hope the rest of your shift goes well
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering luckily ended an hour ago, around 4:30 A.M. here on the east coast
Your lovely bride is an unsung hero…her videography and editing are right on point! 👍👍👊👊
you vids never get old even if you do repeats because you editing and everything on your channel just keeps getting better not to mention homeless clips are always a refreshing reprieve from the project
love from Minnesota USA
Another great video. You're both legends, brilliant at what you do.
Much appreciated mate
Homely is pretty good also at what he does. Say what's does he do? :-)
You Sir truly are a Master! I’m glad I found your channel and seriously love watching you make things. I also received the hat I purchased today. Thank You!
Greetings from USA. I like the way you do your work. You get right in to machining and finishing with no dilly dallying around with polishing to a mirror finish and indicating to a gnats eyebrow. Then oiled and wrapped and back to the customer with no lost time. Not such pretty parts but they get the job done.
welcome to a real world workshop! got no time to F*ck around just get in and get it done 😂👍
I know it's a common operation, yet I still marvel at how tool bits withstand interrupted cuts as well as they do.
love your vids as i finally get to see the finished product,made all these kinds of casting for years & always wondered how they would look lol, over 35years a sand moulder ,
that's awesome glad you get to see this side of it!
Just got my new CEE trucker cap in the mail today. I'm in Nampa, Idaho, USA. Very fast delivery, thanks so much. Very high quality
Hey Karen, Kurtis and Homie! Only with you is a Friday a REAL Friday! These old D10's down under live forever now ... THANKS TEAM CCE!
Hey mate! Thanks for watching each week, it's amazing how old some of the D10's actually are and still go hard!
Whoever is doing the video editing is right up there. Getting better all the time well done.
Thank you so much! From Karen AKA The Giggler 😄
Karen does an outstanding job of filming. Kurtis you should take her out for a big Steak Dinner and save the Steak bone for Homie. With Karen's video skills and Homie's skill at attacking his toys they are a great asset to the channel. Thanks to all 3 of you for such great videos.
she likes this idea, Homey of course agrees 😂 thanks mate glad you enjoy the vids!
I love the repetitive patienceness.. been following for a long time now.. always leave smiling.. and mrsdill loves homey ♥️
Your dog cracks me up. He has he so many toys that he can’t make up his mind with one to play with!
Machining, camera and video work are master level.
Cheers Larry 😎👍
Mexican Maintenance Engineer here, never really performed as such as I didn't like how Engineers in general are treated here in my country.
But oh boy, how would I've liked to do the kind of work you do.
I've learned so much from your vids and I really love every single job u get done.
Keep up the good work! Planning on getting some of ur merch once I get my paycheck lol
Hey mate! Thanks for your comment and the support, respect to you 😎👊
Best intro of any video Ive seen.
Always enjoy the
"Homeless Halftime Show",
He is having a Good Life.
Excellent video story telling. You keep it interesting.
Plumber says "not always new work", in your case, "not always round work", great job handling Heavy, Odd Shape material at Speed (RPM).
Thanks for the Video....
Glad you enjoyed it
That blue steel look was on point. Haha
i've been practicing 😏🤣
Be it a very technical job or just get parts in order. Kurtis your standards are always Aussie perfect.
You have way more guts starting the taps that way.
Thanks Karen for your time video and editing.
Hope to see the updated shop soon.
Cheers legend always appreciate reading your comments. Yeah got 1 or 2 more things to sort with the workshop update then hoping to get the video uploaded for you all 😎👍
The start of the video have me a flash back to working in the flame cutting dept. We had 4 pattern copying machines, with magnetic stylus heads. Great to get the same dimensions on all the pieces, but played havoc with the legs of the overalls, socks and boots and mostly the feet when a hot piece of slag got into the top of the boot, that's why we never tied the laces up as the boot could be easily kicked off taking the not slag with it. I would be a liar if I said there were never a funny side to this, despite shouting "BOOT" in vain attempt to warn the others to duck, there were times when you would be hit by a stray boot. It all added to the fun. Nicely machined despite being an awkward shape. It doesn't help with the piece being that thick too. Thanks for posting, it really does make Friday's a good day.
I can sit here and watch these videos for hours and hours. You so great quality work.
Another good job in the books. Our flame cut supplier cleans up the parts a little better than those were. Enjoyed watching.
Those flame cuts were pretty rough!
What amount of work would two minutes of heavy grit sand blasting save Curtis?
Now that you mention it, I thought that the condition of the parts was very rough and lacking in presentation for the client. Yes it is flame cut steel, but how hard would it be to remove some of those slag dags before sending the part out. Where is the pride and presentation of the product?
@@markfryer9880 It looked like left-hand work.
@@markfryer9880 You can get surprising neat results with flame cutting, Curtis himself has shown this a number of time.
Central US viewer Josh, here. Thanks for the vids. Really makes me miss working with metal as I'm a Engineering tech now. Btw, don't you just love cleaning and grinding all that slag and scale off parts. Always my least favorite part anyway. Stay safe in the shop!
hey Josh thanks for watching from over there mate always good to know what viewers can relate to the videos. Yeah these plates were covered in the shit, good times🤣👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering from England here. You would think they would clean all the crap off before they were sent to you. I used to work at a place that did flame cutting and it all had to be cleaned up and put through a shot blaster before it was sent out. Love the videos keep up the good work.
@@shoots2001 I am an electrician. Had a customer bring in a crook electric frypan. Still had the eggs half cooked in it. TRUE story.
@@markneedham8726 What did the cook(s) do to get this frying into such a state?
The addition of the music was a great touch to the time lapse sequence.... keep up the interesting work!
hay guys just in a days work you say well keep em coming as the video quality is assume slow mos fast bits and to take those flame cut chunks of steel and turn them into ART and finish part and the slow mow on the drill bit breaking through for the first of the grease nipple holes such detail of it heating up forming the circle and then the brake through what you do with that camera is amazing thanks for taking us along for the machining got my Friday fix thanks guys stay safe i see Home less is like all spoiled kids/Safety Officers has to have all the toys out to play with one and never put them away just love him
The BSP thread reminded me of a time when I was in the Mill and Industrial business. We sold Schrader valves here in the US (same Schrader that invented the bicycle tire/tyre valve). Made in England. The ones we sold were NPT and suddenly we started getting complaints from customers that brand new valves (1/4" NPT 4-way pneumatic/low-pressure hydraulic) were leaking at the threads. Turned out a batch of valves were mislabeled at the factory as US spec and were actually British. The difference? At least in 1/4" it's ONE thread per inch! That one had us scratching our heads for a while!
_"The difference? At least in 1/4" it's ONE thread per inch! That one had us scratching our heads for a while!"_ - like, "how they did it?", eh? C'mon, for a zestful and enthusiastic worker no mismatch in parts would be any obstacle in pursuit of completing the job!
Once I bought a second hand bike on behalf oof an acquittance of mine (I'm an amateur/ hobbyist bicycle mechanic) and I noticed that left pedal was different than left pedal - well, no big deal, I was going to replace them anyway... However, as it turned out, the "left" pedal was actually a RIGHT one - in case you're not familiar with the problem, right pedals have "right" thread, while left pedals have "left" thread. So somebody actually managed to screw in a right hand thread into a left hand thread female thread in the crank.
Lesson? Never underestimate people's... perseverance, let us call it, as we do not want to use words like "idiocy", do we? ;-)
@@MrKotBonifacy Oh yes! I took my ~'65 Schwinn Stingray apart when I was about 10 (I'm 63 now). Needed to clean the sand out of the bearings. I mean turned it upside down and stripped it to the frame! Mom was NOT happy when she came into the basement and saw it all apart! Went and got the belt and let me have it! Funny, she didn't apologize later when I got it all back together and was riding it!
@@PhilG999 _"Funny, she didn't apologize later"_ well, our Moms, apart from being "moms", are (first and foremost) WOMEN. That means, a simple two-point rule applies whenever an issue of "right or wrong" pops up - and the rule is:
1. Woman is ALWAYS right, and;
2. In case it looks like a woman is wrong, see pt. 1.
See? Plain and simple... ;-)
@@MrKotBonifacy Yes, Yes we DO want to use words like Idiocy in cases like that since we're generally not permitted to use the words we REALLY want to in Polite Company...
Words like and and ...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Precisamente, amigo! ;-)
It was this sort of a sarcasm, when you say to someone "well, if I were to be honest I'd say you're an idiot, but since I preffer to be polite I'm not going to say that" ;-)
So good to kickback on a friday night with a new CEE video! Thanks for your hard work.
hey mate! Glad you can enjoy it mate thanks for watching
never get tired of watching thanks for sharing
i like the little fixture for servicing the milling tools.... far better than just trying to hold them in a vice. you have given me an idea for a project
Watching your videos in one way I can relax. It's a pleasure to watch precision work like that being done.
Glad you enjoy it!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering - Ta! I'll pop in for a very short visit next week to say gidday and thanks.
Kurtis, Another outstanding video....and a joy to watch you turn a sows ear into a work of art....and Karens video skills of filming and editing, really enhance all that you do. Enjoy a wonderful weekend off. Keep em coming.....
Hey mate what a great comment to read thanks for the support we appreciate it
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering You are more than welcome, both of you !!!!
Nothing better at the end of my working day than to sit back with a beer and watch someone else work.
Love the way you just blast those pipe taps in with the spindle then casually stop it and finish by hand. If I did that my tap would look like your last edge finder.
Another interesting and educational video. Karen your camera work and editing keep getting better, beautiful work. Thank you both.
Hey Mike thanks very much we both appreciate this comment!
Gday Kurtis and Karen, certainly odd shaped parts and for being flame cut it’s a neat finish, the generic inserts left a good finish on the internal bore, awesome job as always mate, have an awesome weekend, cheers
Hey Matty, yeah they look wild spinning in the lathe got to keep all body parts clear that's for sure 🤣 We're glad it's the weekend mate you have a good one too 😎👍
Having seen what IC Weld can do with a gas axe, I'm not too impressed with these.
Kurtis saver of picked on birds haha. Great vid as always.
Awesome job. Love the video and Homeless is always the greatest.
Thanks for the vid - great as always.
It will be very interesting to see how you weld the bar end onto the bar - a few challenges there I guess?
All the best,
Paul
Hey Paul should be good! Similar process to the Ripper shank repair we did a while back
Great video again with the ever consistent outstanding camera and editing work. While I was mildly impressed with the "Blue Steel" and "Magnum" looks during the outtakes, I feel compelled to advise you to continue using your considerable machining skills to provide for the family. Just sayin'!
I have been over dosing on your videos since I stumbled on them! I recently un-earthed dads old Craftsman Lathe from the 1940s or 1950s and intend to bring it back to life for small projects, mostly Ham Radio antenna related. Some years ago I had repaired the threading selector box as a couple of the gears had been crunched in the past and thanks to the internet I was able to get the last set from the original manufacturer! Your videos have shown me a lot of things that I did not have a clue about! He who dies with the most machine tools wins!!! Keep the videos coming!
From Karen's captivating cinematography, Kurtis' knowledge and skills to Homeless' comedic interludes, this is my favorite channel. Keep up the absolutely amazing work.
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey Guys! Amazing job per usual. It's amazing watching what you do with the detail and how skilled you are on different jobs. I had to mention too, loved the Zoolander reference during the outtakes. 🤣🤣
Hey mate thanks for watching to the end glad you liked that i've been practicing those looks 😏🤣
Doing great man! Keep it up! 🤘🤘
Good to see CEE keeping out of mischief. More than can be said for the Magpies!
We watched while a storm with 60 km winds were blowing outside. It doesn't appear that we have had any damage. Making four of those bar ends is almost like production work. It's really useful to see the same processes used over and over again as the thinking behind them sinks in more thoroughly. It's a bit of a pity that those parts are not cleaned up when you get them. Karen your video and editing skills still astound us. Very nice work. Thanks to you two and to Homey and we wish you a peaceful and pleasant weekend. Bruce, Karin and Halgrim
Nothing like a video that trigger's ptsd everytime you start the lathe up causing me to pull the phone away, the pyriform shape of them parts brings back some bad memories 😂 excellent work mate 👍
good times mate! haha thanks for watching sorry you got triggered 😬😅
Hi love the show, have you ever thought of getting a dust/smoke vacuum catcher stops it flying around the work shop and landing everywhere on your equipment. Cheers mate
Curtis, you look like you bathed, shaved, and found some clean clothes. I'm thoroughly impressed and should have bought a lottery ticket!!!
got to keep the viewers happy 😂👍
At least he hasn't gone for the giantic weasel farm beard and man bun.
And I LOve the safety officer!
I love how you film your dog doing what it wants to do rather than trying to get it to perform.
There should be a blooper real compilation every 6 months. I die laughing at the end of each video.
I have a question, Love your videos by the way and it's especially a delight that the videos are uploaded weekly at the the same day. Question is Just to get the volume of work load you have how many projects are filmed out of the available /on going projects at a time?(Numbers would be great but percents could work as well.).
Hey mate thanks for watching always good to know that the videos are enjoyed. Each week depending on the size of the jobs can be anywhere from a couple of big jobs to a dozen or more jobs we get through. We pick 1 to video because we don't have time to video them all and we get a lot of repeat work.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Sweet. Thank you for replying. I understand filming all the jobs would be illogical.Videos are fun to watch as always , do convey hugs to the doggo.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Repeat jobs are a Week-In-The-Life of CEE video when you run low or to take a different tack to a video
Good news. Notification front and center today 😉👍
Homeless the typical toddler....toys everywhere 🤣🐶. Kurtis when you were using the flap disc (?) at the end of the video I so wanted to tell you that you missed a spot 😁. So gotta love the birds getting into it when your trying to do something....filming, talking, sleeping etc. lol
👍
right on time!
Love ya work as always, especially the fancy editing we're getting these days. Karen's gotta deserve a payrise soon, if Homeless approves it ;)
Something I've been curious about, since I'm across the ditch and the AU mining industry is a bit unfamiliar to me, is the sorts of clients you work with. Obviously you aren't short on work (the opposite, by the look) but do you typically have just a couple big customers coming to you regularly for repeat business, or do you have more a big number of customers coming to you on a less frequent basis?
I know you can't go giving details or anything but just curious how the industry works over there :)
Hey mate thanks for taking time to watch and comment. We have a pretty good balance of both a few main customers that we get regular work from and also many repeat customers that are not as regular. We have customers outside of the mining industry, like in civil works, diesel fitters that do repairs etc.
Super question Lucas. I had been wondering the same.
Glad I waited until the end to comment. Kurtis taking care of business and telling those birds to f*** off. Thanks for making my Friday just a tad brighter.
hahaha nice thanks for watching to the end!
You guys are killing it every week! Never fail to impress all the way round!
Fantastic video guys. Something different again!
What brand taps do you use? I'm struggling to find a good brand that actually lasts
hey mate for BSP stuff I use Sutton, anything else generally Guhring
Time for my weekly dose of Homeless murdering a rubber chicken (or similar), Karen having a giggle .... and (not to mention) Kurtis FLUFFING lines..... (again) and not to mention swearing at birds/trains/etc. Great stuff
We all like to be consistent with what we do 🤣👍
...as always, great videos about metalworking, when I look at them, I always have memories of my apprenticeship from 1965 to 1968 as a precision mechanic, I also learned all sorts of techniques such as turning, milling, grinding, brazing, forging, gouging, electroplating only welding was not part of it 😨 that's why your different welding techniques inspire me, thanks for these great videos and continued success in creating new videos 👍👍👍
Greetings from Germany
Great work! Never my favorite job when you have to spin an odd shape in the lathe. Clamp it tight, cross your fingers, and stand to the side when you engage the spindle. Lol
Great filming/ editing! Time-lapse and editing to make it look a magic trick with the tool changes in the mill.
Took me 2 days to get a quiet moment to watch. Was worth the wait. Cheers from Wisconsin.
HI Kurtis and Karen ,
Another awesome video in the can !
I noticed you were using what looked like an insert with no chip breaker when facing the parts - is this because of the interrupted cut ? Also what is the stuff you are using as a cutting fluid in the oil can ?
does have a chip breaker but needs a heavier depth of cut to form. Using Rapid Tap in the oil can
Said without any knowledge, experience whatsoever: Those parts looked strange in the lathe. Dangerous, even. That uneven mass distribution cannot be easy to handle - was that the reason for the low spindle speed or was it the material?
As always: Have a great weekend, everybody!
The unbalanced work and not being able to get really good clamping are two big factors. Some weight can be added with the t-slots to balance it a bit more bit with such an odd shape, it'd be difficult to get right and you'd still have kinda sketchy clamping contact from that shape. Just one of those awkward parts where any machining approach is a compromise.
hey mate good question and good reply there from @94XJ. The spindle speed is definitely due to the uneven/offset part, key to run low RPM with parts like this and adapt your machining to the job 👍
Thank you both to @@CuttingEdgeEngineering and to 94XJ for the clarification.
@@94XJ Thank you!
The manufacturer of the lathe has likely engineered out the maximum torsion and sheer stress on the shaft bearing. You could do a quick plug and chug with the parts mass and RPM if you truly wanted to know.
You get to either rotate the tooling around the part or the part around the tooling. In a world of Autocam and modeling software I recognize and appreciate the human element of the machinist doing it mostly analog with equipment built by our betters before microchips and silicon boards.
I'm doing a course (at uni studying engineering) on machining, turning and milling primarily, and your videos have been a wonderful addition since I get to see how the theory works in practice, especially when the initial cut on the part wasn't working as you had hoped and changed the bit for a better result. Feels like I'm actually understanding whether a cut is good based on the chips.
Awesome video. I was a scared when you put them in the chuck and hit the power button. I was tucking down behind my chair. Never saw that before...fantastic.
Great friday video as always. Seems that milling machine head is becoming more noisy. We'll see a bearing replacing video?
didn't give it a grease that day lol. Yeah will need to replace the bearing sometime soon and will try to video that
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Free Content. :)
If I tried to turn a part like that in my old lathe I would end up with a big bump on my head and a hole in the roof. Is the bearing in your milling machine ok? Sounds a bit crunchy? Thanks for another great video!
Cheers from a rainy Sweden! /Jesper
Hey mate yeah got to make sure she's tight and keep all body parts away from the spinning bit lol. The bearing has been an ongoing noisy thing if it's not greased regularly, will have to do a bearing change sometime soon
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I would absolutely LOVE to see a video of you doing a Lathe Bearing Change...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan nice to watch ... but I imagine not too nice to do... and then theres the cost.. spindle-class bearings are spendy...
I put a set of headstock bearings in a little production turning semi-automatic Britan lathe... the 2 bearings cost me circa £1'000(irish "punts").... but that was 40 years ago... 🙄😱
😎👍☘️🍺
Ah the sound of a crunchy crunchy bearing, how I missed you!🤣
Wonderful video again with some beautiful editing as always! 💪🏻👍🏻
It really is amazing how much faster the additional pieces go. The first one takes a while then the second one seems to be about twice as fast, then by the fourth one you have it down pat and doing it so fast that if you blink it appears as if we missed seeing some steps.... LOL love your content.
The video sequence of needle scaling and grinding beautifully captures the time span that customers think that process takes. ;)
Greetings:Kurtis,Karen, Homey.
Enjoyed the video very kool on what you all do an it all comes too gather.
Go Team Australia. Stay Safe and Healthy.
I was taught to think the job all the way through before you start saves you a lot of time. I love homeless just like a little kid got his toys everywhere. Very good video Karen I like the editing.
I think the magpie adults give the previous generation a bit of encouragement to go out and find their own space. Like your videos.
