Being a machinist ,plastic injection moldmaker from the "70"s era, up until 2011, l can't believe the advanced machining prevailing at the present moment . Has me in awe, but am so proud of my abilities regardless. We're all part of a very specialized field
I am a machinist of 53 years machining experience and I am still getting envious to see so much of a new stuff is going around to learn or put a hand on!!!???
I both loved and hated some of the machines that had been converted from line shaft drive to electric motor drives at one of the electric motor shops I worked at.
Whenever I see a machinist at work, I realize that we don't have enough people with those skills in out modern world. A good machinist can make almost anything.
Know the feeling of working with my Father in 65 watched him make a drill press in a forge..running the drill on a 32v aircraft genny..now we have the Chinese selling us junk that we have to buy Chinese junk to fix the first piece of Chinese junk.
That is simply amazing. I worked as a millwright in the structural rolling at the Bethlehem Steel for 31 years. I've replaced so pretty big gears in my time. One pinion gear weighing in at 20 tons. Now I know how they are made. Very interesting video. Thanks taking the time to post it, I enjoyed it. Barry G. Kery, Millwright "A"
Bethlehem was an amazing operation. I worked big at Cooper Bessemer in Stratford Ontario, Canada. Most of my time running a Berthiez vertical boring mill with a 14 or so foot table making natural gas 48 inch pipeline compressors and 20 cylinder ships engines. I almost cried when the day came to close the doors I loved that job !
It has always amazed me when I think of the person(s) who design these type of machines and all the things they have to think about in order for it to work properly!!
I was a machinist for 30 years. I got to see and run so many different types of machines. The machine that amazed me how someone could come up with a manual machine was a gear hobb.
When I read the title of this video I totally thought -"Pfft, I guarantee I'm going to browse through this video, until I get bored and move on..." But indeed I couldn't stop watching. Massive machining like this is amazing. I bet many of these parts cost well over a million bucks.
also why does every one of these videos have unnecessarily long titles containing overly enthusiastic diction and way too many adjectives, with emojis in the description, while also being extremely vague in the way they title it and show random footage with no correlation between scenes.

@@dmatter95 there's enough better content out there for me to not be desperate enough to go to that level, but yeah I mean it's cool to see if you wanna watch different types of processing and work, but from an educational point of view they're not very informative.
The company i work for makes similar parts, but ours are a bit larger (18' diameter gears like the one you see on the left at 1:24) and the smaller "shaft" looking parts (at 1:50) are pinions. Our parts are used primarily in drive systems for very large ocean going ships, but also for hydro-electric motors/generators used inside Dams to make electricity, and pump drive systems in oil refining plants. Side note, the processes they are showing in this video are severely outdated, most companies have gotten rid of the Pfauter machines and switched to CNC lathes/mills for gear hobbing/grinding.
@@GRIMRPR6942 I'm a gear cutter and work for a multinational company making gears, sprockets, timing pulleys, shafts, couplings, etc. The only toothed part that can be hobbed that we regularly mill instead of hobbing or using a form cutter for are roller chain sprockets and some conveyor sprockets. Granted, my plant mostly does made to order parts that have 1-10 parts per order and 32DP to 1DP. Our largest hobber is a 72 inch and largest form cutter accepts 100 inch OD--although the damned gantry crane maxes out at about 82 inches for loading purposes.
@@npsit1 - the dumb thing is that after about 2:50 of horrendous "music" there's some sections with machining audio, voice over and explanations. Yet everyone who hit "mute" to eliminate the "music" will miss out on hearing all of that.

Some amazing machining going on there, but as an ex BIG VTL operator - get a swarf hook in quick at 6.58 before the next cut goes down the bore - its Instinct with me - lol, also trained to run 5 axis machining centre in my later years, all CNC but I started on machines "with handles" - lol.. Thanks for the video, brings back some nightmares but also some happy memories doing BIG stuff, my favourite work... Ian - UK.
While it's definitely fascinating to see what can be produced with a lathe I'm amazed by the lathe itself. That someone designed and built a machine made to make other machines! 🤤😲
I'd like to see a video on how they make the hobs and cutters. I wouldn't mind one on the gear production machinery either. Watching the machinery at work, makes me much interested in it. I always wanted be a mechanical design engineer. I never made it
I want to see a completed task. I mean, I love watching this stuff, but I don’t want to see the machine cut half a thread on something. I want to see the whole thread cut, then the results displayed. Plus, I’d like to know what they’re actually making. I feel like they (whoever is compiling this stuff) are treating us like idiots. Maybe they (the compilers) don’t have a clue what they’re doing either.
Here's a video for you of them installing some parts. They were installing a 20 ton turbine shaft and their crane failed and dropped it into the housing and caused 6.5 million dollars in damages. ruclips.net/video/u1A_yFvQdhQ/видео.html
The one amazing thing about all the machinery and mass production lines, is that they all started with the greatest invention ever. The wheel! Most everything works and is made using circular motion!
I’ve never really thought about where extremely large machined pieces come from. I can’t imagine where they would be used. Maybe in dams or huge bucket excavators. Amazing.
I could never do this for a living... I wouldn't be able to resist putting my hand into the machine to clean the bundles of metal ribbons off the lathe
Would love to work there. I'm a cnc. Machinist and made many parts but never parts that big. Would love to. Loved the show. I see it's prime products loved it.
It might be something really perverse buried deep within my psyche, but I just LOVE precicion machinery and machine shops in general. Thanks for your interesting upload.
Hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day. Good night the greatness in you is beautiful.
Wow, living in 2020, one has to wonder, how the hell did we get here, and yet be capable of producing the amazing technological advances we have. Humanity is the broadest of spectrums.
The first clip of the spiral groove being cut, that's actually just a manual mill and the guy is cutting it by hand. Pretty good timing isn't it? Takes years to get the timing just right. True story.
The short answer is that it's all done on manual lathes at one point, though a channel called machine thinking has a nice series on the origins of precision manufacturing.
A machine that makes parts for another machine that makes parts for another machine that makes parts for the first machine. This is called job security.
Turning big iron is fun and exciting. There's nothing like slinging 35,000lbs of it at 150rpm on a manual 76" Bullard vertical turret lathe and taking a half inch cut. Hawgin Iron.... 👍👍👍🤩

The music makes me want to stop watching.
Indeed, this stock music can go away in favor of the real sound of the machines
Then mute it
Fortunately it's in the first 2 minutes
The real question is: did you?
Spot on….why do they mess about with music …I’d rather hear the machine….like the remainder of the clip
I wish my grandfather was alive to watch this , he was a machinist and the engineer on a liberty ship, this would have amazed him

Nothing warms my heart more than several tons of steel being precision machined. Oh Merry Christmas Everyone.
Now retired after working BIG for years this post makes looking back almost painful. The mini Lathe in my shop just doesn't cut it eh.

That is why there are engineering schools. While information technology is fine, there are other outlets for our ingenuity.

We use these pinions and gears in our machines all tje time....great to see there made....

It’s therapeutic watching machining without the anxiety of possibly screwing it up
Haha yes

You don’t know, but it is 🤣. There is machinery that can make what you just saw look small. Then you are at the sub atomic level. LoL 😂

Can you imagine how much it costs to get one of those gear cutters made?
Starting at 1:45, the man is taking measurements using some kind of mechanical arm. Who makes the measuring device? Who made this part of the video?

2:05 That's a really interesting measuring instrument! Does anyone know what it's called? I wonder how accurate it is.
It's called FARO arm. Cost around $80k. They claim +/.002" but my experience is it cannot hold that tight, at least not consistently.
