Lost Foam Casting CrankShaft Truing Stand
In this video, we lost the foam cast of the base for our crankshaft truing stand. We start with machining the parts out of high-density foam and then cover them in drywall slurry to improve the surface finish. Then we bury it in sand and cast it with aluminum scrap metal.

I thought this video was for lost foam, not plaster....
I can see how you would see that . The plaster coating is a important step in my eyes for surface finish . I do however have lots of other videos on projects where we cast parts and what have you .
Great info Thanks :)
Your welcome gregh
I had that problem with my moped many years ago but I just put a piece of thin plate from a soda can around the shaft to get a tighter squeeze. I think it held up quite well but not as new splines.
Some times you do what you have to when you dont have to tools and have to get home :)
So cool! Thank you for putting this out there.
Thank victoriaman glad you enjoyed
As a machinist, from a safety standpoint I was screaming this whole video. Holding rotating equipment at thousands of RPMs is just plain egregious. Add to that the potential pinch point between your hand and the tool post makes this whole process unthinkable. Please, anyone watching this video, DO NOT replicate the actions this guy took here. The fact that you survived is the truly amazing thing here. This process should ONLY be done with properly rigid holders. AT THE VERY LEAST, use a Jacobs chuck in the tailstock, NEVER your hand. I cannot stress enough how unsafe and terrifying the actions you took are to me. Never should hands be this close to rotating equipment.
Yup there is alot going on in that video and dont recomend people try doing as they see in the video.
I have seen another guy do some very tight tolerance stuff with this process and I can not understand why anyone would do a different process like PLA etc.
I can see how you would say that . Kelly cofield makes some amazing stuff. The two are very similar with a few strengths for each but sharing many . i have not tryed lost pla but done lost. wax, pla seems like it has the ability to be printed and will hold its form way better . I have found that lost foam will distort and has spacific direction it has to be placed in . What i love about it is that you can make it with very basic tools and turn it into a metal part quickly.
I use the smallest harris cutting tip to cut 25mm plate @ 330mm minute 45bpsi oxygen and lpg @ 10psi
Thank you !!!. My learning has been sending me in that direction for sure . I just did another run of those parts and raised my height up to ¼ off plate speed 11 ipm with a #2 victor at the oxygen settings you stated . Cut like a knife amd left a realy good finish.
Do you have a video that's opposite were you take rough cut square 1in by 1in 9 in longstock and make it round on a mill?
I do not sorry
Good job,👍👍
Thx G , glad you enjoyed
Friend, I think your work is great. If you buy a sandblasting machine. Your work will be more perfect.
Thank you for your sugestion and kind words
wow!!! great vid , thanx 4 posting/ sharing this !! its cool the kid is interested / helping. we all nd. 2 share knowledge , u can never b 2 smart or have enuff money !! ( say no 2 ... convenience stores... go to supermarket , farmers mkt. , or , best ... grow ur own !!)..thanks !! saw great bumper sticker, read.... kill your tv... how true..
Glad you enjoyed it !!!
Cool video been a long time I worked with Cast ports.
I love it . The idea you can make it with foam amd . Poof you have a metal part is crazy still to me .
Job well done. I suggest using an air gun instead of sticking your head into the machinery to blow out the chips.
Yes good call ! Saftey doent take a holiday ;) thank you for mentioning .
Petro bond is good but until they reduce the cost of it, I will stick to green sand castings.
Yes its pricey stuff
Nice one thanks
Your welcome , glad you enjoyed
@@Wrighmachining like how you don't mess around and good explanations. Don't know how I found ur Chanel but I'll definitely check out more
Rural King store has a medium grade sand that does great. Its very fine. I bought a small cement mixer for mixing adhesive sodium bentonite and it really mixes it all fast. You can get this mixer at Harbor Freight stores. It really does a quick job of mixing. I use talc for parting.....I have good luck and hardly any blow holes in the castings...
Thanks for the sugestion . I will have to do the talc for sure . Im in canada so rural king is not here :( I am always on the look out for better samd when im in the building stores or the like
Would u be able to cast something for me?
What did yoi have in mind ?
I've never heard of this. You did an amazing job. I will definitely be using this technique.
Glad to help !! I was making them the hard way for a long time and this was sugested to my by an old machinist / motorcycle enthuaiest :)
Areia pode ser fina pra mergulha o izopor.
Sand can be used alone to cast . Drywall plaster is used to coat it so the casting is smooth
Obrigado
Mate thanks for posting.......I'm leveraging off your posts to tackle some of my own casting. A lot of people show only successes which you can't learn from, so thanks for showing and analysing your failures so we all can benefit.
Glad it helps man !! What are you building ?
@@Wrighmachining Motorcycle Head for a vintage race bike and I'll do a barrel as well if I get it sorted.
Awsome !!! Look up kelly cofeild up on YT as well he does some realy cool hot rod stuff amd in my opinion he is the current bench mark for the craft on YT .
@@Wrighmachining I've watched every video he has.......more than once........Like everyone else!😄
So the transformer is a step down transformer, but you are using it as a step up transformer? That is not recommended, one reason is the primary windings are usually wired close to the core to obtain opimum coupling, now you are winding secondary there, this will cause higher losses-in the form of heat, I would get a thermal imaging camera to make sure you are not exceeding the 150deg on your specification there. Ideally you would use a phase convertor that ALSO steps up the voltage, if such an animal exists?
Step-down transformers are occasionally used as a step-up transformer by “reverse feeding” or “back feeding” the transformer. Reverse feeding is simply a matter of having the power supply enter at the low voltage windings. I have not noticed it hot at all . Infact it is way larger than i actualy need .
What is the power output or rms current of the phase convertor?
Botb transformers are 30 kva . In saying this that is massive compared to what is required of them . The motor is also way over sized for the lathe but i buipd things to expand them . Later if i plan to get a bigger machine ( loke i have the room , lol ) i can do that .
@@Wrighmachining Did you consider a VFD? and if so, what made you decide on this instead?, reason I ask, is I am requiring 3ph at some time.
Yes i had thought of thet but swapping out the motor on every machine can get costly. I have a rur600 grinder , surface grinder , lathe and mill
Instead of the tap magic, try some denatured alcohol or turpentine. Lots cheaper and smells better. The DNA evaporates off and dont make a mess at all and prevents chip weld.
Thank you . I will try that
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the truing stand build! PS. the blue/pink insulation board panel foam is also polystyrene foam - the extruded form of it (XPS) rather than the expanded bead type (EPS)
That makes helps clairify . Thank you !!
polystyrene is a polimer styrophoam is made out of, not the end product so both low density expanded styrophoam and uniform extruded foam insolation panels are both made out of the same material polistyrene, the only difference is that low density packing material is expanded from plastic pelled by overheated steam while uniform insolation foam is directly injected into a mold in liquid foam state ps is only visable on styrophoam product made out of pellets for recycling, and many supermarket food trays have the same marking while being the same kind of foam as your insolation panels you can also buy polystyrene sheets for vacum forming or injection pellets or 3d printer filement in solid state . it is also part of abs and hips plastic composition anyway nice project you making thre
Thos has to be one of the best comments i have ever had !! Thank you for taking the time to write it , it is very insightful. You have sent me down the rabit hole now of steam and expanding the pellets . Sounds dangerous i know ,lol . Dont worry it will be a while before i wade through a zillion projects and get to this and i will be very carfule . Lots of people ask about expanded foam but its not usable i have heard. but the pellets and steam would work . This almost gets into a large industral set up of injection molding and casting and i wonder if that process would be any faster in the long run than making each part manualy or cnc?
@@Wrighmachining well it is high flow production process, pellet contain a tiny bit of carbohydron that expand from the temperature while plastic is getting soft steam is used as heat source because both superheated styrene and aditive are basicaly as flamable as gasoline so it has to be injected to sealed container with no excess oxygen but also vented to evacuate excess gases that can be used as a fuel for steam boiler. i wouldn't try that at home pellets thown into fire explode so it is to be stored safely too
Your pouring costume is great. Viewers who might try this should remember the basic law of foundry work which is "Iron (steel) bounces off your skin, all else STICKS!! and boils skin for a long time til you dig it off with pliers". Good looking castings!
Thanks for your imput . :)
I hope you enjoy using it. Only one negative point, some of the commentary was unintelligible due to background noise. Otherwise, interesting, I’d not heard of a passive greenhouse before.
Sorry for the audeo . It was one of my first videos . Lots has improved since then :)
У вас хорошо получается 👍
спасибо, выложено второе видео литья днища. Также на следующей неделе выйдет видео обработки. наслаждаться !
Really nice build, very detailed and clear explaination... keep nice videos like this comming... Saludos from Baja Sur Mexico
Thabk you . Shoupd be a good one next week whwre we finish the crank stand !!
Americans are the people in the world
Yes i can see how you could see that the western hemisphere is all related to the americas in some way ( north america, south america and central america) The definition americans usualy relates to people from the united states of america. Aka usa/us If i used it out of context my appoligys. :)
@@Wrighmachining oops.... I meant to say Americans are the BEST* people in the world.... (For sharing great knowledge)
Lol, what ever soil you stand you should be proud of where you are !! 🇨🇦
Put the gas closer
Hahahah , its used oil . But yup ill put it out back next time . You will see it in the next couple vids though . Lol i have been busy .
Yep, I like it. No messing around and something to enjoy using and showing off for years.
Thanks peter it was a fun project !
I saw a funny looking hat and had to stop...
Hahaha , fedora . Glad ypu enjoyed
Nice work. I don't have any idea of your friends accuracy requirements but the dimensional stability of aluminum is questionable and a good fine grain cast iron or semi steel would be a better material if properly stress relieved. Would the Styrofoam pattern/full mold process work with cast iron?
Thanks roger . It true the thermal expansion is an issue . However if you pick it up use it and put it down is shpyld be ok . Iron wpuld be awsome but im not there yet
What you spray on foam before cnc foam
Good question , its 3m adhisive spray . I only spray on side and stick it down . Some times i even lift it once to reduce how sticky it is .
This came up in my feed today. Very interesting. It's been some time since I tried my hand at some lost wax casting. I can see the advantages of being able to easily shape the foam - and that it is readily available - compared to the wax. I'll have to check out your other videos on the subject.
Awsome . Let me know if you have amy queations . :)
You stress about having appropriate PPE & yet your forging area has a gasoline can sitting 3 feet away. You might want to make sure the work environment is safe also. Also I'd suggest getting a class D fire extinguisher at the handy for those ohhhh crap moments. They can & will happen.
Kamloops bc , we are in a sub desert as well . We do get colder winters with snow here though
I see that this video is about 1 -1/2 years old but I still thought it was worth mentioning that your level is .0002" (2 ten thousandths) between graduated marks on the vial, not .001". The vial was made to indicate .0002 over a 10" span, in other words, the distance between the marks on the vial represent .0002" (2 ten thousandths) rise over a 10" span. Very sensitive level for sure, mine is .0005"/10" (2.5 times less sensitive than a .0002"/10" but still plenty good enough for the job).
Thank you , you are absolutly correct . :)
@@Wrighmachining You bet! 🙂
Just noticed there is a typo in the title - loat instead of lost.
Fixed !! Thank you

Technically what you have is a furnace and not a foundry. The problem is some newbies did early videos years ago and misused the term and not it is quite often used. A foundry is a place where metal casting is done. As far as the heavy weight of your loaded box. Why not two boxes? Less awkward and less weight. Reserve the big box for the jobs that need it. I found your channel yesterday. Its nice to see useful stuff being cast along with decorative items.
Yes perhaps i used Foundry out of context .lol . Yes smaller boxes are a good idea . I built the box quick and dirty with minimal supplies on hand and am suffering for it now. Glad to have you added to the chanel . Keep in mind im always open for constructive critisism and help if you want to. Thank you rudycandu
Could you build your box without a bottom, stick it in your job box, fill it with sand, then do your pour directly into your job box? That way you can just lift the box off when you are done. Any overflow would be into the sand in the job box. It means lifting the molten metal higher so that might be a problem.
That is an awsome idea i like the direction of thought on that. The only draw back is that i would be running very high for pouring . I will think more on that idea and see if i can incorperate it into the set up . Thank you mark !
@@Wrighmachining Maybe use a rope and pully attached to the garage?
Or dig a big hole to bury the job box 😉
Nice set up ,
Thanks sweeny
Thanks for the video. I recently picked one of these up and wanted to know how to maintain it. I can definitely accomplish that now.
Np ryan glad to help :)
.001- 002" per inch of Dia. for press is what we did. There is less as the pieces get larger.
Thank you
I thought a haimer was too much at .001 but the edge finder is .002? Didn't know.
Ahh the Pursuit of precision
