Making Bearing Mounts for the Line Borer | Shop Made Tools

  • In this video we are making new custom bearing mounts for our Line Borer! These bearing mounts are designed for our our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable line boring machine. We already have standard mounts that came with the machine but need to make new ones that will be more rigid and are adjustable so we can use the Sir Meccanica facing head. To make these mounts we are using 20mm plate, hollow tube, 40mm round bar and some other bits & pieces. We show the step by step process including cutting & machining the hollow tube that will be the mount for the machine. We then machine and weld the plates onto the tube and mill out the slots in the plate to suit a 14mm bolt. We also machine up 12 stand offs including drilling and tapping so they can be bolted onto the plates.
    In this video we are using:
    Hafco TM-1740G Lathe
    Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
    WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

    Keep in mind this is a common shop tool. A tool that will see years of work doing pretty mundane but accurate cuts and boring. Yet despite all that it looks like a piece of art. Absolutely brilliant workmanship Kurtis. Also a smashingly great job by the videographer and editor. Brilliant work Ms. Karen as well. Lets not forget the safety officers presentation on how to properly destroy rubber pigs and move dog beds. Short and to the point and no on the job injuries or OSHA violations.

    Seeing you stick the nozzle for the flood coolant wand into the back of the boring bar reminded me of a setup a good friend of mine uses. He has treaded the back end of all his boring bars that he uses internal flood cooling and installed a male quick disconnect fitting. On his flood cooling pipe stand he installed a T fitting and a female quick disconnect fitting and a cutoff valve to the flood cooling wand. Lastly he has a couple feet of flexible hose with a male and female quick disconnect fitting on it. When he uses his boring bars and wants to use the internal flood cooling he hooks up the flexible hose and shuts the valve to the food cooling wand. One last thing he has done on his largest boring bar is taped the holes at the cutting tool end of the bar and installed large carburetor jets from a Holley carburetor so to spay the coolant in a more controlled pattern.

    The quality and finish of your tooling and repair work is outstanding, Kurtis! I may not be a machinist or engineer, but when a tool is built with quality of form and function, anyone can see it. When a repair is done with "good as factory" as the standard, it's instantly recognizable. Fabulous work ethic! Will be nice to see this tool when it's done and in action. Oh, and Karen ... the video is extremely well put together! All the best to you all from Newfoundland, Canada. Love your content!

For example, the way Kurtis wants to make sure his cap bill is aligned straight for those close up facial shots tells me he is prepping for a cover photo shoot of GQ magazine, very impressive.
    As a side note, we have a huge feral hog problem here in Texas and Homeless might be the solution we've been looking for. The way he can gut a pig in short order sends a message to all the remaining pigs in the area!

    Shop-made tools are worth every penny of cost and second of time it takes to make them well. You can make them to suit what you're seeing for problems, and they'll serve for years. I'm not a machinist, and never will be, but I've made plenty of special tools for jobs we were seeing all the time. Never regretted a second of the time it cost me, because the jobs went quicker and more efficiently with the tools, than without. Thanks for this!
