I watch cee icweld on fire welding and more and this is the first time anyone has mentioned they only get a year out of the bushings. It is what it is I guess. Great video btw 👍
Just for kicks, I did a 'Line boring and Welding' search on RUclips. It returned lots of OFW, lots of CEE, lots of SnowballEngineering and ICWeld. 4 best on the Tube!
Funny you mentioned the mess on the floor and the apprentice because I immediately thought the same thing. Finding good help these days is a real challenge. You do nice work sir, thanks for the videos.
You have some of the best content on RUclips! One video every other day would not be too many! Hint, hint. Also, you might take a look at the clamps SnowballEngineering uses. I looked for them in the size he has but haven't located them yet. They are slick.
great WD-40 tip.......Pam cooking spray works in a pinch for anti-spatter..... do not know if it would be good enough to protect that precision ground bar....but it sure smells good....
I guess I live dangerously… I use a diamond wheel as a back for the sanding disc in tight spots where u ran stone. It works when it works. Anything to not use the stone wheel.
Hey folks! We need to spread the word and get Greg's subscriber count moved one decimal place to the right, so instead of 47.2k he would have 472k! Currently, I subscribe to over 140 channels and I drop a comment about @OFW every chance I get. If all 1.8k who have viewed this video did the same, @OFW would be getting the recognition he deserves!
@@OFW My pleasure. I am slowly working my way forward from your first video and being an old equipment mechanic, not a welder, I enjoy every minute. Also, I looked at your subscriber list and seeing as how we have similar interests, I think you might enjoy @PacificNorthwestHillbilly.
Greg, I am tellin' ya, you need a 7" Cubitron II grinding disc......larger contact and they will knock those big diameter bushing welds down fast......but do use them on a 7" or 9" grinder......cheers, Paul...36 grit of course.....

Greg, I guess I’m not understanding why the bushings are expected to last about a year. Like you mentioned, as long as they grease these “regularly”, which is an assumption in some cases. But even so, with as hard and thick a material, I’d be surprised to find this repair not last much longer even under some punishing abuse. Plus, and besides the point, this is a shitload of work an money too. And yeah, you do great work as always.
At 4:00 I said aloud..."too heavy a cut....make a lighter cut." I knew it would not stop chattering while trying to take a cut that is half the inserts cutting edge deep.
@@OFW do I need to make a donation for your time? In more details it’s whatever hands tools you use while line boring. I’m beginning my 11 month training for line boring/machinist tomorrow.
I’m probably gonna buy one for here at home. I wish the interface was in US measurements for wire size and speed but I can get over it if the machine does it’s job well
@@OFW Look at 8:33 and you see where one jaw lays flat against the back and the one on the left is raised away from the back at least an inch or more making an offset and potential to crash the tool bit more likely. Especially during an operation like you were when chamfering that edge.
Oh no I'm talking about increasing the size of the hole until concentric and making a larger bushing and avoiding bore welding and saving a ton of time
So I've been a machinist for 40 years get skipping over things. But if somebody just watches this video and they don't have a machining or welding background they have no idea what's going on. 🙁 Sorry to say you have to explain everything every time.🙁 There's a lot of people who watch RUclips just for entertainment. That's what I watch it for.
How do you not have John Deere yellow. Bad practice to leave it up to customer. As a customer I would take it that you are lazy and do not care to do a complete job. Have your apprentice do it. Teach him right.
I mostly work on CAT equipment. So I don’t have that color. You do not know my relationship with my customers so saying it’s bad practice is your opinion and it’s a bad one. It’s not like I didn’t discuss it with them at all and just gave it back. And for your information it bothered me so much I actually ended up painting it. Also I’m probably one of the most least lazy people you would ever meet.
Famous last words we only need it for a year.
It's only temporary...unless it works! lol
I watch cee icweld on fire welding and more and this is the first time anyone has mentioned they only get a year out of the bushings. It is what it is I guess. Great video btw 👍
When the bucket comes back to your shop in eight years because it’s all worn out because it was only supposed to last one year
The only thing more permanent than red loctite is a temporary solution that works.
@@Darryl603 Folks, if you like this channel as I do, then you will enjoy @PacificNorthwestHillbilly as he rebuilds old heavy equipment.
holy crap!!! thank you for letting an apprentice do that!!!!! It means alot to us!!!
What is it with all these bore-ing videos, they're fascinating. I'm in IT, I dont even go near these kind of tools but here we are. Cheers :)
Here too!

I cant speak for everyone but i like the long videos
that's a good apprentice job!!!!! get that bolt out!!!!
I like how you showed the importance of checking parallelism during the setup.
*On Fire Welding* Bravo well done as always, a pleasure to watch, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
A skilled professional at work here, and a good video. Lets see more of that beautiful hound in the future.
good to see the dog is better... and happy.
I thought he looked like he was limping when I saw him.
first!! youre the man!! Edit.. damn, second . You're still the man though 😂😂
thanks for posting Greg, always entertaining and educational.
Great work here.For sure not your ordinary jobber shop!!

Hey this is the Mr AWESOME show 👍
Another professional job well done customer will be well pleased with it saved the bucket from scrap pile,stay safe Greg.
Great job again, Greg! Keep the videos coming, please. Very educational.
Nice Tailstock cover, I spent a few nights there in 1986

Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project , have a nice week end 👍👍👍👍
Another great job, thank you.
Terrific job!
always great Greg......you da man.......Paul in 'Florida
Another great video! Thanks for information and hope you feel better
Nice Job!

Hello from TEXAS!
great WD-40 tip.......Pam cooking spray works in a pinch for anti-spatter.....

Fantastic 😊😊😊😊
Great Job.
I usually bore and then make the bushings to fit. It is easier to control the size.
Nice work 👌🏽👌🏽

Congrats Greg. Grate job again.
I'd like to know what material are the bars that hold the cutting tools made of.
I believe they are just 1018 Crome bar.
Thaks Greg.
As helpfull as allways.
Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍
Great video…curious, how is your dogs foot doing? Looked like the big bandage was off, saw a little limp..but he seemed to be doing better.
He is doing a lot better. Almost a full recovery.
👍🏼
Hello Gregg, Question: why are the jaws on the lathe chuck un-equal in length?
An excellent piece of work!!!
Good Luck
They are all equal. It’s a camera illusion
Greg, I am tellin' ya, you need a 7" Cubitron II grinding disc......larger contact
and they will knock those big diameter bushing welds down fast......but do use them
on a 7" or 9" grinder......cheers, Paul...36 grit of course.....
I’m going to get one. It’s been on the list for a while

Please make sure to frequently remind your apprentice how lucky he is lol

And yeah, you do great work as always.
I think they will last longer than a year. I was just stating the situation.
8:52....wondering if they will shrink while cooling from the weld and create an interference fit with the pin. Lets see...
Nice work. How much under do you usually cut for a tight fit? Thanks
Depends on the size. Usually .004”-.01”
Great video! did ya rip him a new one for leaving that pile of shavings? LOL! Just kidding!
I think this helps serviceability of the attachment. I think all should come with bushings in there. Other than cost is there a reason it doesn’t?
The dealer can make more money without the bushings in there.
@@OFW And we know it's all about the money!
When I get a scratchy throat, I gargle with listerine, way back in my throat and the scratchy throat goes away and I never get sick.
Garlic, if you have enough of it, it will prevent you passing it on to someone else 😅
👍😎👍
At 4:00 I said aloud..."too heavy a cut....make a lighter cut." I knew it would not stop chattering while trying to take a cut that is half the inserts cutting edge deep.
is that Mary Kay Pink on those stands......asking for a friend .......
Lotta boring, any reason to make them that thick or was an original bearing pressed out? Thanks.
When they are thicker they last a lot longer.
That bucket looks brand new, I am curious why this job was even necessary ??
Customer : why is there an FR shirt on my invoice ??
They just painted it. Most pretty things that come from an auction are hiding some secrets.
@@OFW
That is SOOOooo true !!
Any tips to removing stuck pins? Guessing you just cut out the old bushings?
Oxy lance through the middle for stuck pins.
Привет мастер. Где купить это удлинитель на пневматическую машинку? Спасибо
From Climax
Bucket looks too new to be needing line bored already. Or was it a rattle can rebuild?
It was painted and over a lot of imperfections
i’m wondering how many welding machine do you have?
Haha like 22
They’re like t-shirts and clamps, never to many.
Why did you go with 4130 rather than 4140 or even 4145 Gregg?
Because that’s what I had.
@@OFW LOL. That does play a significant role in a lot of my choices as well.
How much was the Climax equipment setup?
About 100k
I was wondering how the pay scale was in this business hourly or flat rate
ie 9 axle trailer repair ?
I do both. Hourly rate is a safer bet but sometimes you can make more with a flat rate.
I’m in NYC what’s the hourly out there
I do both. Hourly rate is a safer bet but sometimes you can make more with a flat rate.
@@phillyelectric7043 $135-$500 an hour
Why do you weld bushings in? Shouldn’t the press fit hold them in?
I like things to look like they never happened.
What size wire were you using to hand weld out the outside bores? Also can you make a video on the hand tools you use for a job ?
.035”. Like line boring tools?
@@OFW yes line boring tools
Ya, I can do that.
@@OFW do I need to make a donation for your time? In more details it’s whatever hands tools you use while line boring. I’m beginning my 11 month training for line boring/machinist tomorrow.
No donation necessary. Depending on the system, the hand tools will be different. I’ll try to have one in a couple weeks.
Where can I find that press you where using for those bushings? What’s it even called?
Enerpac hollow cylinder
Thank you!
Little arccaptain mig 200 still kickin ass?
Yep!
I’m probably gonna buy one for here at home. I wish the interface was in US measurements for wire size and speed but I can get over it if the machine does it’s job well
This is how we do it also.
Why weld the bushes if they are a decent interference fit ? I'm sure there's a good reason, I just don't know it.
Because I like the way it looks. Like it never happened
You think the cubitrons are truly worth like 200-300% more in price than standard China-whoever resin discs?
Yes. I sanded down everything on this bucket with a used cubitron. Can’t do that with any other brand.
So what happened to the other apprentice? And how did you acquire the new one? Maybe it is time for a short gossip video.
Yes, would be interesting how you got into this type of work. The path of how you got up to this piont.
I would like to know that also
One jaw on the lathe is out further than the others. That's not right, is it?
Seems correct to me
@@OFW Look at 8:33 and you see where one jaw lays flat against the back and the one on the left is raised away from the back at least an inch or more making an offset and potential to crash the tool bit more likely. Especially during an operation like you were when chamfering that edge.
@@Darryl603 play that part one frame at a time.
Can I adopt your shop dog?
Curtis over there in Australia would not have to work so hard if he would quit using the metric system. (trolling)
เป็นกำลังใจให้ครับ🇺🇸🌏🤝🇹🇭🙏♥️ขอบคุณสิ่งที่หน้ารู้ครับผม🫖☕
I asked on a previous video why it wasn't done that way.... lol stole my idea
Some customers want it welded some are okay with a bushing. If done correctly both are good repairs.
Oh no I'm talking about increasing the size of the hole until concentric and making a larger bushing and avoiding bore welding and saving a ton of time
Have you ever considered a job in equipment repair?😂
