Abom79, this was great - back in the manual machine shop working on a difficult project, instead of the new toy shop. You shine best here, and I appreciate the video!
kinda like dave richards shop, his occasional videos done in the shop he makes his money in are pretty neat, yet, why we're all there is the shop with all the belts.
The way I was taught to braze is that the rod should melt with the tip of the inner flame is about a 1/8 inch away. I'd turn the gas down a lot more for a small part like that so you're not putting as much heat into the part and you can control the puddle better. Another way to think of it is that you're using to many amps TIG welding and it's overheating the part and pushing the puddle around.
Adam, whatever you did at 9:25 to 11:30 was EXCELLENT! I have NEVER seen a braze filmed with such clarity, the image was perfectly exposed and nicely in focus. You (and your charming & tolerant camera person) have come a long way in videography. Thank you for letting us learn from you.
Adam I admire how you never skimp on PPE when you are welding / brazing. Always proper gloves on both hands and a good, heavy drill, long-sleeved work shirt. Likewise, Keith Rucker. So many RUclips presenters show welding without any gloves and in a short-sleeved shirt. While I respect it's their decision to do so, I think it shows a bad example for younger viewers or others who are not aware of good PPE practices to follow. Great camera work by Abby on the brazing techniques. Best regards to you both from Albion Park, NSW, Australia
As someone who manages a workforce, I couldn't agree more. I tell my young guys all the time, if you want to look tough, the eyepatch you end up with will do the trick if you don't put on your safety glasses. The hearing aids though might bring that down a notch.
Wow everyone trashing this job? I’ve done a job like this. It was a nightmare, things shift expanding and pushes other pieces off center. I think it was great save by Adam on a part the can’t be bought. Don’t get me wrong I would love to see Adam fire up the cnc and make a new gear but he doesn’t have to it’s fixed.
It's nice that hd has more than one grinder. I've tried to do this as it's much easier to grab another one than to switch back and forth. I have a several of them, and haven't paid more than $15 for any of my name brand grinders. I also have several Asian made ones, but again, I've bought them used, and repaired them.
Brazing is my favorite type of welding. The whoosh of the flame, how the metal flows. It's relaxing. Plus with just a little practice the welds can look pretty good.
A lot of negative comments here. Looks like some are angry with Abom. It's old school traditional welding though. This guy shares his work and he doesn't need to be reminded when he makes a blunder, he doesn't hide it, he admits it and fix it. So why all this anger? Are you afraid that Abom lose his grisp because of the cnc work? No risk. Should all the videos be flawless like "workers on another level"? I feel a Tiktok syndrom is spreading.
That was enjoyable to watch. I used to braze stellite steel on auger boring bits to the wearing edges, every day. Also brazed huge cast bull gears. Smaller cast parts like u brazed do benefit by post cooling in a powder lime box.
Your technique during that second side may have seemed unpracticed but looked right perfect. No melt in the bottom half I noticed, except at its top, so you didn't overheat much if at all. I may need your work, too.
@@SteveColluns-hm2xx Sure anything you say, question though. Why are you still here? You obviously don’t enjoy the content, and are clearly a superior machinist, so you’re wasting time here, why exactly?
G'day Adam.. nice job overall on the assembly & Brazing of the wheel & arm, + I like the Holder for the arm, good food for thought. I personally would have used a slightly less aggressive flame, as in the higher pressure, which appeared to be pushing the Bronze out of the weld. I'm glad you mentioned that you were going to true up the gear by fitting a thin walled bush. Overall a Great Video looking forward to the finished product.
Lots of negativity in the comments again. Some positive criticism as well. Me, yes I'd have done it differently, but I would have ended up with a similar result, I use powder flux and a none fluxed rod for one. But its great to see how the likes of Rucker, Fenner and you tackle these jobs. Keep up the good work.
I've personally never seen such aggressive grinding like you did on this specific brazing job. It's always been my understanding that less soft metal filler (brass) is better, on brazing applications since it's basically a hot gluing operation. However, I am not familiar with the strength properties of Eutectic Super 146 XFC and modern methodologies of brazing work. Back in the day, we only had brass rods and messy paste flux. Nice work sir,
hey Abom, dont know if you know this, id assume so, but using the needle scaler in addition to cleaning up the part and putting a texture, it also reduced the stress of the cast iron after inputting so much heat to braze the part . =)
I silver braze A LOT and i agree with building up the material really heavy then grind off the excess. That ensures that the material was all melted into the piece. My 2 cents anyhow. Thanks for all the great teaching.
Nice brazing job Adam. Just a tip... an older mate (mentor) taught me how you can remove the 'glassy' flux residue from brazed joints by simply soaking in water.
I don't want to teach anything, but with small pieces I would use a smaller point for the pass on the opposite side. It's also best to use the "heat and move" technique, so you don't melt beyond the opposite solder surface. Good work
Good repair Adam and Abby great camera work on the brazing clearly showed how both sides must be cherry red to get the bronze to flow in there and also that at that temp the hardened bronze tends to slump so it is a tricky little bugger and takes practice and more practice to deal with that fiddly balance of juggling molten bronze and un-molten bronze at the same time. An ART.
i have stick welding rods specificaly for cast iron. after a good preheat a would tack the parts with them and then braze with phosphorbronze. this way there is no risk of brazing through. although the stickwelding with the dedicated rods should be okay i found that you never can trust cast iron so brazing is the way to go.
Another great way to preheat parts like this is 450 for 1 hr in a oven a electric oven in a shop is actually pretty useful heating bearings before pressing preheating stuff even powder coating
I have always relied on capillary action to draw the braze material into the joint. Personally I would never have gouged out so much material. You can also use an aluminum form like a tinkers dam to stop the braze from falling out of the joint.
Man that’s great work. Adam’s brazing and Abby’s camerawork. I could see exactly what you were doing with the at management, truly a great piece of video work.
Why brazing vs welding? Just curious. Some years ago I repaired a cast iron piece with a gasless mig - was just learning as I was going along - my first try failed, I heard it pinging and making noise as it cooled and it broke again. second attempt I used a propane torch to preheat and after the weld I kept it hot with the torch and gradually let it cool and it's still fine to this day. Thanks, I enjoy your videos
It depends on what the weld has to support, for how long and what are the directions of the forces involved. That piece must bear forces from several concurrent directions. If you use a steel wire mig torch, you heat the area around the weld too much, attracting carbon and hardening it. Excessive stiffness creates micro-fractures and eventually failure It's a problem with ordinary steel, let alone cast iron that you know nothing about. The gas torch spreads the heat over a large area and keeps it that way, without exceeding it in a single point (if you use it well...obviously). Bronze has a resistance comparable to common cast iron, especially aluminum
Thanks Adam! Always able to resolve issues on broken parts. Wonderful to see the skill and talent on display. But the "can do" attitude is the key! Heard Ms. Abbey's (sp) giggle in there. What a formidable team ya'll make! Thanks for this and all your videos!!!!!!!
its never going tolook as good as it did before it was broken no matter how good at brazing you are . its a nice jobof brazing this soi ts at least looking ok and usable
Good grief people look at the gear teeth, that gear is a cast non precision, lose and rattley gear It doesn't have to run true and probably didn't from new. Adam's technique is better than most other youtube pro's that I have seen Including a certain vintage machine rebuilder I watch and respect. Adam just put a vintage machine that you can't buy parts for back in service and did a great job of it. Years ago I bought a portable cement mixer from Payless cashways. The gear that was around the drum had very similar (although much larger) teeth. It was rattley and loud as heck you had to wear ear plugs when using it, it was deafening! I hated that machine but still it mixed cement and I didn't have to do it by hand.
I guess there's no reason for Part 3 then!. If I was buying an antique machine, probably paying top dollar for it , and had the choice between one that ran relatively quiet and smooth to another that was noisy and was binding, I know which one I would choose. And if I had to buy the 'bad' one, I'd expect a big price reduction, maybe by half.
@@richardjones-sl2zd Part 3 is totally worthwhile, Adam has a reputation to uphold on RUclips. I doubt that the part would run perceptibly rough when you consider what it's for. It's not running at thousands of RPM. But RUclips "experts" help pay his bills, it's worth making the vid to keep them happy, and it can't hurt to get it closer to perfect. 🤷♂️
how deep can one expect proper brazing penetration on broken cast fracture (i.e. how close to the other side do one need to grind a vee into the fracture)?
Thanks for the video,, but one thing we really need is full duplex audio,, we can hear you while you braze but no matter how loud we yell it's melting through you never hear us !!! See you on the next one !!

Are you meaning "brazing" instead of breezing? Aluminum or aluminium is a strange metal, it will oxidize on contact with air, that is why helium or argon shielding gas is used during welding to keep air or oxygen away from the liquid aluminum.
@saintchuck9857 Apparently, none of those videos are about sarcasm. Someone thinking they can "breeze" aluminum after watching someone "braze" cast iron badly, is going to become an internet meme.
Make an interesting experiment to do some brazing repairs on the same materials and see what the difference in strength between a full depth braze when ground off flush, or left proud. Certainly have heard other you tubers say a braze is as strong as the original... but they all leave them proud!
Looks good Adam, it's nothing a little JB weld or body filler and paint can't fix. Abby has been killing it with the cinematography lately, getting some great shots! 👍👍
I had a feeling in the 1st video that the bore would be off and need sleeved. Near impossible to keep it perfectly centered. All in all another great video.
Really nice camera work on that brazing. Shows exactly how it should be done!
My wife and I really enjoy the channel!!!
He has the new shop with all that new fancy gear, but I still enjoy the work he does in the old shop a whole lot more.
..and I prefer the "hand work" in the old shop. New shops are great for production, but thats not why I enjoyed @Abom79's channel for so long.

ANOTHER FINE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH ADAM THANKS
I like when you work in the old shop so many good memories
Good "How To" video. The camera work is very good. Gives a nice close up to see how you do it. Thanks to both of you.

Right? Usually the camera just gets blown out and all you see is bright white.
Yes I believe Abby filmed that as the camera was not on a tripod. She has achieved excellent brazing footage previously. Abby you’re a master!
Before ever learning to weld, I learned to braze. I still like seeing Gold!

The silicone brass filler he uses is stronger than the cast by a long shot. The cast will break before the repair. Silicone bronze is tough stuff!!

I may be mistaken but I think the needle scaler might have the added benefit of stress relieving the braze joint.
I agree. It cold works the surface thereby increasing strength.

Why is it necessary to grind out all the original material and fill it all? Does it not flow into the crack like solder?
It will not flow into the crack. Silver solder (56%) would have maybe been OK but it is not as strong as brazing.
...brazing and soldering are vastly different propositions-(!)
