    I used to work in a warehouse that manufactured the rolls that roll steel into sheets for car body's and appliances. Some of the large ones weighed 560,000 pounds plus. Every five years or so we'd get a roll that had an air bubble in it (mostly cheap ones of Chinese origin) the pressure was so great that sometimes they would spontaneously explode, most often in storage but sometimes when the lathe would start cutting it would literally explode with no warning except for a loud ping as it starred to split. We'd have to cover them with massive cargo nets to keep the pieces from flying across the warehouse, which is nerve racking.
    Some of the larger rolls (200,000 ibs+) could only be transfered by modified train cars.
    Crazy thing seeing the damage a 10,000 pound razor Sharp shard of steel can do when it flus 70 feet across the warehouse!

      Some places have small blankets to throw over one when it starts. Also saw a steel ladle trunnion fail. It wasn't even lined yet, an empty ladle. The trunnion just popped out. It was Chinese, and cost within 10% of a real ladle.

    A very old mate of mine who is considerably older than me had told stories of this kind of thing , he was a lathe operator and used to make stuff for me, even carburettor needle valves in brass.
    I used to take it all with a pinch of salt when he said he made prop drives for ships, especially the Royal Navy , he used to read a book while working? his job was sitting on a seat that moved back and forth with the lathe cutting tool and each cut too the best part of two hours, how long was the damn thing.
    Boring job though, but he liked it, bless the old bugger.

    @poly_hexamethyl 6 лет назад +3

    For a rough workpiece like this forging, I wonder how they center it on the faceplate and tailstock. What part of it do they measure to judge whether it's centered? I imagine if you're not careful, you might end up getting the end centered, but then have a dent near the middle that makes it impossible to get the finished diameter you need?

      I was on a hwy between Richmond & Surrey ( near Vancouver Canada, ) , drove over a bridge that arcs over a another hwy, on the blind downhill side, was a ball of metal shavings , 1/2" wide strips, the ball was as big as a Volkswagen, sitting in the right hand lane.it would have sliced a motorcyclist into smithereens; it must have just blown off a fully loaded steel recycling truck, so I pulled over, ran back, it was easy to roll out of the way.
      Just goes to show, anything can come up on a public hwy! Always be watching

    I would love to see the finished part, the radii at the change of dia must have been fun, especially as this is not a CNC lathe and the rads would have to be formed rather than generated. I'm also a bit confused as to why they are not using Carbide insert tooling, As with all emerging nations, they dont seem to pay too much time to health and safety, if one of those turnings hits you I guarantee you will know all about it. But having said all that they must know what they are doing or they wouldn't have taken the job on. Sad that we have lost the capacity to do this sort of work in the UK.

    • @randymagnum143
      @randymagnum143 2 года назад

      High speed steel is incredibly resilient. It could be they don't want to get this thing swinging @ 400 fpm until they get some of the bark off, and a little more in balance. Or, it could be that's just the way they've always done it? Hard to say.

      @repalmore 9 лет назад +4

      Breaking good Not sure how they did it but to put the center on the tail stock end, I would measure a couple dozen times around and take a best guess on the center drilling for a live center point. This can be don on the ground. Lifted into place leaving it on the hoist to get the 4 jaw eyeballed in and tail stock into place. Let go and start final centering in the 4 jaw. Not precise but guessing there would be enough metal extra to accommodate this approach. That forging is rough so guessing would be over sized for just for these kinds of things.

    Hello there, and welcome to Clickspring. Today we're going to be making a new tool for the shop: A 10,000 mm reamer.

    • @pragmax
      @pragmax 7 лет назад +21

      Normally, I'd just buy a tool for this job, but at these dimensions, a quality reamer can be quite expensive. Plus, there's something so satisfying about turning 120 tons of metal in a lathe. Especially when it comes to using the hand-graver for the finishing details.

    I worked at a place that did this type work in So California. This looks like a blank for a generator rotor or steam turbine shaft. The job requires slow rolling until you get through the bark but then the chips should fly after verifying no cracks or defects. They also use this lathe to rough cut and net shape it and then put it another, possibly CNC lathe for finishing.
    Notice the feed rate was somewhere around .035 to .055 inch. They are also slow rolling it to keep it straight as the weight will cause it to sag (no kidding). They should have a steady rest just under the shaft (but not touching anything) at the tailstock end in the event the center fails.
    Also notice they are cutting toward each other. While this negates the thrust load on the center (that is a lot of weight on the center regardless which way the cut is going), it also cause one worker to have to stop when one cut gets too close to the other. Start both cuts from the tailstock end and push toward the headstock to reduce thrust on the tailstock and the center bearings.
    No chip pans to catch what is hitting the floor; labor must be cheap there.
    No one was wearing safety glasses. The exposed motor drive coupling and fall hazards were all danger points for me. Not a US job either.

    Maybe all those people don't understand it; A facility with the scope and mechanical aptitude to transport, manipulate, and machine parts of this scale certainly have several engineers on the payroll. Do you actually believe that they overlooked determining the optimal angular speed or tooling selection of this lathe?
