Thanks Chris for this great four ton axle machining video. I love the close-ups and slow-motion of the knife and groove tools on the turnings of the part, always with precision. Have a nice weekend and see you soon Chris.
The print has names for these parts, but we all know these are in fact rooks for the world's largest chess set. 🤫 But seriously neat part, thank you for taking us along.
Do you use the level to get it into the ballpark? We always just winged it with one strap 😂 We did use two straps on the 25’x15” bars though, not trying to crack the foundation.
I love watching your videos and I think you do fantastic work. I especially like it when you show the drawings that you are working from. Having been a draftsman for 42 years, retired. But something struck me as odd, when you showed the drawing of the nut at the end of your video. The drilled and tapped holes in the back of the two milled pockets don’t coincide with section X-X. Unless they were eliminated for clarity.
I don't understand how this is done. You're running an NC program.....this is a huge slug to start with. Don't you have to "prove" the program before you get good parts to run? If you have a bar-fed job, you write a prrogram, run a part, gauge it, throw in offsets where they need to be, until you get a good part. Maybe you scrap a part or 2 off the first bar. In a job like this, how do you prove the program, especially a job like this
Do you ever use button inserts for OD turning, never tried it myself but makes a lot of sense to me for strength and all that. also do you/have you used cermet finishing inserts and do you have an opinion?
Some day you will have to show us how you set Z zero on something that has existing features like that. Nice job with the 4-jaw.
Absolutely awesome Chris
New Milling Machine? hope the vacation was good time.
8800 pounds? Some of the CNC machines I ran didn't even weight that much! You do some BIG shit!
Damn. Some heavy metal rock and roll🙌
😮😮😮😮😮😮
I do the same Job but a little bit smaller......
Very interesting work. Nice job.
very good 😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😀👍
thanks very much !!!!
Do you ever do any large work? 😂
It's my specialty 😉
Every time I watch your work with horror. My usual blanks are 30-70mm in diameter. Thanks for the video.
Comrade Maj, are you using Russian steel again? I'm surprised it didn't self combust.😁
I wonder how much these parts cost?
. Do you think you could find
Something a little bit bigger..LOL
ya goofy m8te from Australia 😂

Szkoda byłoby to psuć.😁 Ale praca świetna.👌👍

8,700 lbs!
That started out as a CHONKY boi !!! 😅
(I second the comment that the Ruzzians have invaded)
Complimenti per la filettatura acme👍 1 pollice mai vista massimo 2 pollici 😂
This is the Wonderful job👍👍👍
What is your feed and speed on roughing and finishing for each insert?
For roughing, it's 0.025 ipr sometimes more, sometimes less, depends what material I'm working with. Finishing between 0.005" and 0.010" ipr.
i dont know why but these videos are alwasy so satesfiying
Dude, putting the bar right next to the curling chips to break them is freaking GENIUS, why have I never seen this before?
8:00 That clock is rock steady! 👍
What happened to the FIX8 tool?
Not enough stock for it.
wow, 1" pitch achme threads.
are they done on a mill?
They were done on a big manual lathe.
@@ChrisMaj oh wow, that big one in your shop?
that thing must be the king of rigid to do achme that big..
@Sir Zyox we had to send it out cause someone already did the big bronze nuts, and they wanted to mach the screw to it
Do you use the level to get it into the ballpark? We always just winged it with one strap 😂
We did use two straps on the 25’x15” bars though, not trying to crack the foundation.
Amazing to see. Do you wear noice canceling ear phones?
Just a regular earbuds
Outstanding work great job
Great job

Pivot pins for the poles with spline shaft for gods own pto to make the world go around.
11:27 is that a little 18mm PTO shaft you are making? Oh wait 18 inches, Cheesus Rice , how big is the tractor? 🤠
Holy crap, thats some big and expensive stuff here. Great job, Chris and all who were involved in that. TOP.
2:18, those aren't chips those are reusable offcuts. 🤯🤯 That thing is absolutely just hogging material!! Good show!!
You should see some of the roughing cuts when he breaks out the Kennametal FIX8. 🤯
Great job as usual Chris.

With big parts like this one, you have to trust your programming before you hit that cycle start button.
Do you ever use button inserts for OD turning, never tried it myself but makes a lot of sense to me for strength and all that. also do you/have you used cermet finishing inserts and do you have an opinion?
I've tried button inserts, but it's hard to break chips with it.
Thats World Class Work Mate!
8:00 for the next, please a metric clockwise and the inch clockwise :) thx
How come you didn't do the threads?
Someone else did the bronze nuts, and they wanted to match the screws themselves.
Well done Chris. Would love to get to this level of work someday.
nie zla srobka :)
4:04 what is the mag base holding there next to the tool top
Chip breaker 😅
How do you maintain runout center to center and taper problem this type of larger work pice can you make a video sir
👍🤣👀❤️🙏🎉🎉✨️

The slow-mo's are always mesmerizing.
🍹zdrowko
Jest smak, ale nie mam z kim 😅
Где тот момент ,когда вы её центрировали и как?
Chris uses a fixed center in the chuck and centers are usually already made on the boring mill before the material even gets to the lathe.
Так на расточном, на котором потом пазы фрезеровали, скорей всего.
