Thanks for watching
The back story on the project. I was discussing tools with C-Lo from the Rockstar Husqvarna Team during press day at the A2 Supercross. Every factory technician uses an 8mm T-Handle more than any other tool and they carry them to practice and the races. This first Ti T-Handle is for testing purposes. Can we reduce the weight of the tools the techs must carry all day? Feel is very important to the techs, if it tests good we will produce sets to sell. 6061.com is an MX'er and we found the right person to help with the project. Thanks again 6061.com!
Factory Wrench Tools
Very cool! Make a 10mm too
Factory Wrench Tools I bet it does well. Especially since it won’t get as hot/cold in the hands. Imagine, you could have 2 of these on your person and it would weigh as much as one steel one.
Thanks! My first thought was "WTF, why?" Answered :)
@@Metalwolf765 thats what i was thinking also. Just spending sponsors money but if your reducing fatigue for these crew guys hell go for it.
And well cuz.. Titanium!
A few things worth mentioning, please read before commenting:
0:44 Should've just parted off the socket in the lathe instead of turning it down until it split
1:15 Gloves on the lathe. I know where I can and can't put my hands in order to stay safe. Use good judgement.
4:58 I rarely machine titanium. Most of my tooling is for aluminum. 3-flute end mills aren't intended to machine titanium. That's why it's chattering a bit.
8:32 This may look dangerous, but it isn't. There's a foot rocker pedal that is extremely controllable on this press brake. It moves very slowly.
8:53 The titanium one is quite a bit lighter, but it is also made out of sightly smaller diameter material.
-Titanium isn't nearly as "stiff" as steel, so this has more torsional flex. It's not bad, but it's noticeable compared to steel. It's closer to aluminum than it is to steel in rigidity: Steel-29, Titanium 16.5, Aluminum 10.
Thanks for watching
A stuck tungsten... He's human after all!
Styx's Hackshop I was starting to wonder myself lol
He calls that a touchdown. 6 POINTS!
I almost choked on my bevvie!
He is not human
Love it. That last part with the scale cracked me up
I love how you included the mess ups. We all stick our electrodes from time to time. Got a kick out of the buzzer noise when it happened.
Even monkeys fall out of trees sometimes!
Love watching these videos. As a fellow MX'er myself, here's a suggestion for a project: Make a proper fuel jug for race gas. Everyone knows race fuel loses octane over time, and that's especially true if it's stored in HDP (high density polyethylene) jugs. I'd love to see a 2 to 2.5 gallon jug made out of some good stainless (316 would be nice). While you can buy stainless jerry cans, none I've found are designed to empty very well. It would be a thing of beauty to see one with a funnel shaped mouth for complete emptying. Add a proper vent and you've got something every racer wants. If I had your skills, it'd be a done deal already!
55 gallon drums just aren’t very track friendly, so you need a smaller transfer vessel for fueling.
🤪 the sound effect when the tungsten stuck...priceless.
Man 6061 is on a rampage with videos as of late...keep 'em coming mate
i haven't watched a single video of yours I haven't enjoyed. Please keep them coming!!!
Worlds collide , awesome to see mx stuff on this godlike channel
I wondered, for a second where it was going with the scale... Well played, sir. Well played.
Nice touch at the end 6061!😎
Nice lil touch at the end....well played sir
Great vid , loved the ending , Respect from England.
I made one of these to carry in my riding backpack but instead of a socket on the end I made a 1/4" square with a ball detent like a typical ratchet. The ball detent was very tricky but it works great and allows the use of any 1/4" drive socket.
Something to consider
Not that I don't support making your own tools, but I bought one from snapon for $40
@@ScootyPuff_Jr is it titanium? If so id be interested in purchasing one. A part number would be cool.
Watching your tips and techniques. SPOT ON EXCELLENT SIR .
Your pretty much the only channel I actually leave a like on. Always good content.
Team fried, Anderson's my favorite rider
Dude, you NEVER cease to amaze me !! 👍👍
See how long it took for him to nail the 6061 at the end? He is human.
Dipped the tip! Thank God. That makes me feel about . 00374% better about my TIG skills.
Excellent as usual!!!
lovely ending
I love this channel
That’s a really nice T handle.
Fellow Mx'er here. I don't need to purge with argon to weld this? I'd like to try this. I made my own t-handle years ago (Cr-mo) and have made a lot of similar custom tools in stainless, carbon steel, and upon occasion, Ti. In the past I've cheated and put a 3/8" drive on the end, instead of making a whole set of T-handles. Likewise, I've made a lot custom sockets to fit various machinery and usually will machine a custom socket out to use an interference fit to press in a spare junk socket and weld that in. Especially useful when I have a tight location castle or spanner nut that requires special torque working on CNC lathes and mills.
@6:36.
The walk of shame, to the grinder...
Nice touch 6061.
6061oz. awesome💪
Awesome 👌
I knew it! I suspected it all along! And this video confirms it! This man has.................. thumbnails! When he was working on the lathe, it was plain to see!
I saw you make a baseball, i recomment you make a steering powerball, that would be epic. 👍🏽
I wanna see more welding with the prime weld tig welder
That there is a proper left handed T-handle wrench.
Is that a stainless or aluminum plate that you set your work on to weld ?
Any chance of getting a video or addition to the website about properly pricing ones work, and fair market value for custom fabrication?
Muy bueno !!!! Y muy buen dato que nos diste en el video anterior, muy importante e interesante.
Muchas gracias !!!!
Excellent.
I love to make thin shavings of titanium and this em in the fire for fun hehe
Bravo !👑
Lovely! 😍🤙🏻😎
What engraver is that ?!
Wow amazing😍
I wish I had a lathe
6061 💥😄
Going to have to change your channel name to 3/2.5 😂
I buy 8mm T wrenge Brand name Eastman Price 130 rupees in kollam kerala Eastman made in USA imported by Cast and force Ludhiana
Das ende👍😂😂😂💪
you make this tool to order for sale?
Top 🌎🇧🇷
👍👍👍
that outro would've been much harder in metric ;)
👍😎☕🍩🔧
Can you sell these to
The public ???
There wouldn't be much of a market. The socket alone cost about $65. Titanium is expensive.
Can you make a stainless set then my team would buy about 10 sets off you there is a large market for them . Motion pro is the only person who makes them and they suck
You can make like a black set or some stainless shorts
@@renosnutzz8592 , Trying to save weight with the Titanium. If it tests good we will make more, if it is not right we will try some in stainless.
$200 titanium t handle... engrave it with snapon... $800
Engrave it with 6061. Priceless!
