  • It’s so big we needed TWO cranes to lift and unload this machine! This is the newest piece of machinery for our workshop and it’s also the BIGGEST! It is a Huron LU series Milling machine weighing in at 10 tonnes (22,000lb) and sporting a massive 6-meter (20' ft) bed with an overall length of 8 meters (26' ft)...and that's NOT even including the floor plates. It has a universal milling head which will make it extremely versatile and also has a platform to stand and travel on to reach those bigger jobs. This machine can handle the toughest materials with precision and accuracy and is perfect for us to take our operations to the next level. We are really excited to get this old girl unloaded and into the workshop. In the video we show the unloading and moving the machine into the workshop, and also give a walk around tour and share all about this Huron mill. Have you ever seen a machine like this?? Let us know what you think of it!

    As a Frenchman, I gotta say I'm a little proud that you bought one of our machine tools. My country has been outsourcing manufacturing for decades, to the point it's become a problem we'd like to reverse, but before that we did make a lot of excellent machine tools and most of them are still in action on the other side of the world. I hope your Huron does us proud 🙂

      @@solafdz6092 depends entirely on what "industry" means. Heavy industry, as in steel-making ? Yeah, we're done for now, much as I'd prefer we weren't. We're in the middle of a "service industry" bubble that's going to burst eventually. Soon, perhaps. Everyone's talking of "re-industrializing". The way I see it, all it takes is a good incentive. Heavy industry is just not seen as profitable enough, especially given the competitors you mentioned (none of which can do luxury goods the way we can).
      Ultimately, we still maintain enough industry to build everything vital that we need, and even export some (like nuclear reactors, warships, cars, infrastructure, etc...), scaling up would just be a numbers game.

    Brings back memories. Shelton engineering in Melbourne had a few of these an L85 and a 185 and many smaller Hurons. I dug out the brochure of the old company and the very same machine as yours is featured . I was only a kid when I wandered around the shop with my dad who ran the place in the 60's. They are great machines. Congratulations on acquiring it. Very famous brand Huron, held in very high regard. They used a heavy slideway oil Castol Magna CF220 a slip stick , to stop traveling column shuddering due to lack of oil, They had a lot of very large traveling column machines . May need an oil retention re scrape on the Bedway's. pulling back the slideway covers will tell the story I guess. Have fun.

    Last time i saw an Huron in operation was in 1984 in a machining company in the Rhine region of germany. Wild to see one in Australia. The where normaly operated by a two person team, an Operator and a Supervisor.
    A fix for the power cable follower would be an Overhead drag line like you would use on air lines or low voltage power cables. That or a raised stand behing the machine with a plastic drag chain.
    For operationg the Machine you should think about a camera system mounted to the milling head with a monitor back on the operation stand and maybe there is a way to add a remote system to move the machine from the front of the mill, but that is maybe not possible if the controll system is mechanical, and not electro-hydraulic. IF you can, add a big readout for the DRO up front, too.....

    I wish that more RUclipsrs had the courtesy of providing written explanations of their videos. Thanks to Karen's excellent videography, Kurtis' educational talk and the written explanation, we viewers don't have to research or guess what the video is all about. Although I am not a machinist, I do enjoy the education that Karen and Kurtis give. Thanks, Karen and Kurtis!
    And thanks to the Security Manager, Homeless for the comedy.

    What a trip down memory lane! I started my toolmaking apprenticeship in 1987 in the UK. We had 2 Huron universal machines there, but nowhere near the size of this one.
    Congratulations on getting this tool added in your arsenal. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
    Re the pronunciation, we always said it like 'Heuron', but remember the H tends to be silent in French.

    i absolutely love that you include the bloopers. curtis is one of the smartest mechanical people i have ever seen, so much so its a bit intimidating and inspiring as i am in the process of building a house and putting in a metal working shop. its nice to see him be a bit more human rather than a machinist/mechanic god like being. i love your videos and hope you 3 are having a wonderful day. sending love and best wishes from denver colorado. ps my girlfriend loves your doggo. thanks to homey ive been able to get her into watching your videos as well

    Sweet. Based on what you have said about the concrete floor I would highly suggest a dedicated foundation for the mill and floor plates. I represented Cincinnati Milacron for years and sold quite a number of their largest 5 Axis machines and ALL went on dedicated reinforced concrete foundations. These foundations were over 4 feet deep, 40 feet wide and up to 120 feet in length and required a continuous pour of very low slump concrete. Best of luck and look forward to seeing your Huron back in action!

      When I worked John Deere in the late 1970's, they were moving a 500 ton press in, the area they moved it into was incredible, as was the size of the machines they used to get it in place. Was incredible watching those machines running.

      Not too long ago my company installed a Giddings and Lewis T-bed HBM. They ended up hauling in a small excavator with the overhead crane and probably went down 6ft to pour the pad. Cool thing to see.

    A fantastic acquisition for your shop Kurtis. A lot of these larger heavy types of metal working machines have been sent to scrap as shops closed down and we bought everything from overseas. Good to see you retaining the skills of the trade and keeping it "in house" and for taking this machine on, I reckon your foresight in purchasing this mill will be a great benifit to your business in the future. Can't wait to watch it working. Cheers.

    G'day guys! Watched this twice as it took me a while to get my head around it., This is stupidly huge! Give the monstrous weight, I reckon a new chunk of floor will be needed once it gets used in anger. Even if it's old, I can see it being immensely useful, so absolutely full marks for scoring it. Definitely want to see all these new toys developed and put into work. SO COOL to watch these. You two really have created an incredible thing. THE engineering goto site. Thank you, Kurtis and a huge thank you to Karen for your skills at bringing this all to our homes!

    Traveling column floor mill!!! Nice!!!! Have set up two of them in my career, ran four total, I can truly say you've got a job ahead of you. You already covered all of the major obstacles, but there's two that I thought I might mention.
    The draw bar for your tooling; was it originally set up for ISO 50 taper tool's, or BT 50??? There's like a a 19~20mm difference in the engagement length due to the different style of holders..
    The other is something I had to deal with several times when I was in machine repair; people not lubricating the counter balance chain itself. Gone fishing for two of them when the chain failed due to lack of something as basic as an oil can. With everything else on your plate, that could be an easy miss that could seriously bite you later.
    Just like the others, great video. I personally am rooting for you folks.

  • @stevensmart8868
    @stevensmart8868 Год назад +11

    Nice machine. I used a huron when i worked in england but was more of a knee mill style but with universal ram. It would happily take a 6mm deep full width cut with 150 mm face mill in d2 tool steel.nice big blue chips.
    Cutting chips is easier than explaining about machines. Keep up the good work.
