Making Heavy Duty Roller Stands! | Part 1 | Shop Made Tools
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- This is part 1 of showing step by step how to make heavy duty roller stands! These stands will be used in our machining area to support long jobs that go through the spindle headstock of the lathe. We already have a stand but it’s not very functional so we’re going to make something better. To make these stands we are using steel plate, solid bar, hollow bar, roller wheels and a few other bits and pieces. In this video we show machining the solid bar before cutting a 12tpi external thread. We machine up the hollow bar to suit the support plates and we also use the milling machine to mill slots into the solid bar which will be used to lock the rollers from turning. Unfortunately we had to cut this project short and put it on hold due to the rain, stay tuned for Part 2 where we finish building these roller stands!
In this video we are using:
Hafco MetalMaster TM-26120G Centre Lathe
Hafco MetalMaster BM-63VE Milling machine

Is material in inches ( em Bananas) widely available in Australia? I wouldn't think they'd be available at all, is it imported? Thanks in advance.
@@MrUltraworld hey mate it's widely available here and most is imported!
Quick question Curtis, is there a reason why, when youre cutting the thread, you didnt cut it on the reverse stroke?
I have a pole barn.. it's covered in Tin.. no insulation yet . When it rains you can't even hear the TV that 10 feet away.. also have a tent barn like what you have for the outside work area.. if your in there when it rains. You can't even hear yourself think.. thankyou for another great video..
Living in a country without dangerous snakes. Are you or Homey never have a encounter with them? Grt from Holland.
Nice to see the Banana version of the calipers put to use, no matter how unreadable/useable they might be😁
Please share with us where the banana vernier can be purchased.
@@multitree7427 America
@@zorbakaput8537 Ok. I will search for one.
From the looks of it, 1 banana is 50mm...
Be aware that this was a custom one especially made for Kurtis - re his quips with banana measurement, although I don't know if it caught on and the o/seas folks are making more. Underlying all of this, our Aussie humour (i.e. giving each other stick) is not well understood by the Yanks.
This is so addictive. I've learned more about machining watching Kurtis than years of college and trade school classes. Over the years I've learned that "machining" is easy - the machines do the work. The real problem is figuring out how to hold the part so it can be machined. At this Kurtis is a genius. The editing of these videos is masterful. You get a clear understanding of what is being done, how it's done, why it's done a certain way, and how long it's taking, all without having to watch mind numbing repetition. And just when you're starting to get a little glassy eyed, Homeless makes an appearance to break the trance. And, imagine being a customer of CEE. No Wizard of Oz behind the curtain magic happening . You get to see your work being done to an amazingly high standard . What a confidence builder for a customer wondering if they chose the right provider. Brilliant!
Can't say enough how excellent the cinematography and attention to detail are. Thank you for the effort!
Hey mate, thank you so much for supporting our channel it means a lot! Glad you are enjoying the videos 😊👌
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering soon bananas will be a new standard for machining
Loved seeing the old banana calipers being used
keeping measurements accurate! 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering *Very near accurate*
@@k3ksz1k3 - accuracy is assured by the American National Standards Institute's reference metre bar!
I think my tool, which consists of a roller tacked to a rusting steel pipe that is held slightly off the vertical in a bucket of concrete also has a lot going for it too. My tool is also height adjustable, the height only depends on how many bricks you have. The only problems I have with it are things like wobbling, falling over, leaning, jobs slipping off it and it falling off the height adjusting bricks.
My next door neighbour used to be a machinist in Sunderland shipyard he was the most resourceful man I ever met. He could literally fix/make things out of all kinds. This how I imagined he would have been in his younger days. Sadly he’s no longer with us and I miss our chats over the back fence about his life in the merchant navy, working in the shipyards and travelling the world. RIP Jim.
Your shop made tool videos are some your best videos. Really neat to see your designs for the tools you need.
@maricancerryou’re literally a guy 😂 scammer
Love these multi camera shots of the action. 👍
Glad you like them!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering homeless is quite the pup. Really knows their way around the shop
Behind every great machining video is a great camera person .
Love the 12 TPB thread pitch 🙂
🤣
My supplier says there's no such thing ... but I saw it here!
You two have no idea how perfectly perfect this channel is. I never get tired of watching Kurtis work and Karen's video prowess is top notch. The little breaks to Homey doing his thing are just the icing on the cake.
Nah, the Blooper Reel at the end is the Icing on the Cake...
The Homey segments are the cream filling separating the cake layers...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Love seeing you make the shop made tools and mods to commercial stuff, these are going to turn out great and last you ages. Threw me off when I saw TPB, was scratching my head for a sec until I figure out it was threads per banana 🤣, well played Karen.
"weve been expecting some and it is now here" is such an alien concept here in Yorkshire. its either raining or it isnt, we dont get much warning. :)
what a amazing feeling it must be where your at a point where you can design and create your own shop tools to either make your work easier or save you time and make more money
Hello I am from Russia. It is very interesting to see how the MASTER works. You are a true master!
Homie is happy as a clam and nearly as bright I expect! Sweet as pie in any case. Definitely living his best life with you two. Heard you folks mentioned on Marty T's channel - huge respect to both of ya!
I was just about to mention the mention. :D
Homeless is adorable. Beautiful eyes. Such a happy fellow too.
Rain stopped play, NOOoooooo! Worst of all the cap wasn't straight. I nearly fell off my chair whilst leaning to compensate. Great video, really enjoy your design/manufacturing episodes. Thank you Karen for the video expertise and Homie for the Dog view of the World. Have an awesome weekend guys.
P.S. The cap was straight, I was just leaning. Too many Guinness last night. :D
Need a set of those banana calipers. I always love seeing shop made tools, the thought that goes into them. Great episode!
You can always tell when a dog is well looked after, they act like they have never seen you in ages from 5 mins ago. Homey is mint, puts a smile on my face he does.
Впечатлил высокоточный банана-инструмент 👍👍🤔🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
This has become my favorite channel on UA-cam! Not only the work that Kurtis is doing but also the editing is fantastic! Thank you to both of you!
Better than watching regular crap on the TV & filming is spot on just like the Engineering. Good job Guys 👍
By now,your wife knows more about this skilled profession than some people. It's nice to see professionals do a job Properly!!! All the best!!
Homeless is awesome, good Boy!!!🤣
👌👌👍👍 Thanks for the videos! It's so much more enjoyable to watch videos made by someone who knows what they're doing. No jerky, random hand-held camera shots. No out-of-focus shots. Not too much talking (I hate too much talking!). Thank you for taking the trouble to set up shots and carefully edit your videos. Great job! 👍👍
Hi guys. Really enjoy watching your channel. Found it by accident when I was googling staffys. Lost my 10 yo staffy to cancer. He looked exactly the same as Homey. I am happy to say now I can watch the show with my new staffy pup on my laps. Can't wait tilll his old enough to take to the dog beach at the Spit. Enjoy watching Homey and Curtis machining stuff. I laugh when Curtis says fucked train as I hear then all day. I fix the ticket machines at the stations. Keep up the good work. Cheers Rob 😊
It never seems to amaze me how I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I goes to show that an old dog (75) can learn new tricks. You two are a great inspiration. Thank you. Amazing job so far. Looking forward to part 2.
Well, changing to oil certainly improved the smoke production! If nothing else, I certainly enjoy watching "Homey" in a far more obedient way than my own "Raven", who has very little desire to obey, unless there's food involved. It's a pleasure watching you do much the same work but on a much larger scale, thanks!
Dude is so cool he makes his own threaded bar!
The video is better than some VOD movies. Both in content and filming.
Kurtis, hope you and the fam have a great weekend! Thanks for another entertaining project. Cheers from 🇺🇸
Hey Chris thanks for watching mate, enjoy your weekend too 👍
our wait will be peaceful, it's great to see your family always firm and strong, hugs, Lois Bernardes, from the south of Brazil, Santa Catarina
My absolute favorite...shop made tools. And y'all are among the best.
Homeless is a wonderful dog. Seeing the world from the Go-Pro straped to his back sure gives me a different perspective on the world. He is SO happy to be a part of your family 💗
10/10 Kurtis and Karen, always great viewing for Friday and every video shows a variety of skills for both you guys 👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Anyone like me goes straight to the end watch the bloopers section have a laugh and then come back to the beginning... every single video.. as a machinist need a good laugh at someone else expense after a week of long hours ... good video guys keep at it
Thank god its Friday and get to see best engineer on utube with great camera work from Karen with homless keeping u safe
BTW it's lovely listening to the rain on your roof, don't stop videos just because of it 😊
I used to love making jigs and fixtures for the workshop and test bay. We tested every gearbox we manufactured, even the ones that could pull a house off its foundation. Hope the rain has stopped real soon, living in Wales, UK, we know all about rain. Really enjoy your content, thanks for posting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bonsoir m Curtis. Je suis du Québec. Canada. Je suis abonné a votre chaine depuis plusieurs mois et j'admire le métier de machiniste que vous pratiquez. J'ai appris beaucoup de vous en regardant vos vidéos . Si je pouvais retourner en arrière professionnellement, c'est ce métier que je pratiquerais. Merci encore et toujours un plaisir pour moi de vous regarder travailler. Salutation aussi a votre conjointe qui tourne vos vidéos.
Salut Denis ! Merci beaucoup de vous être abonné à notre chaîne. Je suis si heureux que vous appréciez les vidéos. Il n'est jamais trop tard pour changer de carrière ! Prends soin de toi, Kurtis.
The "Homie-Cam" is brilliant!
i think it was a viewer that sent it to them
Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
I love your Videos, no bs talking just doing great work.
Nice greets from Austria
I really love the fact that kurtis only puts as much effort in a piece what it really needs everything extra is just not necessary and he just dont does it 😁😁 love that 👌 incredible good work watching from luxemburg 😎
Спасибо. Как всегда Все на высшем уровне.

Love to see the shop made tools come together from parts !
Kurtis and Karem both experts in their own field = Dream team - thank you both👍👍👍
love Shop made tools
loved the dual camera editing even more!
Very interesting too, with Happy Homey wearing the anti - shake technology camera 🙂
We're mixing things up with this POV 😅👌
Gday Kurtis and Karen, there going to solid stands, I didn’t expect that thread to get chatter, didn’t look like the live centre was a Daintree, I tried to shot an intro the other morning, got setup and the rain started and shot that idea to shit, makes it hard, keen to see part 2, have a great weekend mate, cheers
Hey mate yeah that live centre wasn't a Daintree, I had to use the Vertex because it allowed for clearance with the tool. Thankfully looks like the rain has fucked off for us so be back onto finishing this build soon will send you a photo when they're done 😎👍
G'day folks. I'm not sure this is the answer but it's worked for me on coarse thds in the past.
Setting the compound to 59.5 degrees (for 60 degree thds) with tool at 90. Advancing at that angle on passes turns the back edge of insert into a wiper. Results depend on type of material. Low carbon, not so great.
Thanks for the time you take to share your fine work guys. You make it look easy when it's likely not. Cheers
@@JohnBarrett-vc8ie Thanks for sharing the chatter reduction tip.
@@JohnBarrett-vc8ie i was looking for someone to mention this
je mě 70 a za život jsem viděl málo tak šikovných pečlivých lidí jako jsi ty pozdravuj bezdomovce je to pěkný rošták a hodně dalších uspěchů at se ti hodně daří tvá práce i život
Great precision whether it is for the shop or going out to door.
Now about the rain noise.
We would still enjoy. But like you Kurtis, Karen is protectionist in filming. So we will count the days.
After all this Cutting Edge Engineering.
Ps. The guys at REM are impressed with you.
Your work and your engineering skills never cease to amaze me! You need a sign hanging in your shop that says "No Short Cut's Here....." Fridays are my favorite!
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪!
When it rains it pours......... love watching you make shop made stuff. Have a great weekend.
I find it interesting that the machine cuts the threads perfectly, each cut.
I enjoy the creative editing also. enjoy your creative videos also.
mechanically the lathe is setup to cut the correct thread pitch by changing gears in the head and selecting the correct settings. the tool travels along the part based on that mechanical connection so it will always be exactly right. that's why he stops the lathe, backs the tool off and runs it in reverse, but still connected to the carriage, so it always maintains that relative position. then each cut is made slightly deeper until the correct minor diameter is achieved. also, the tool being used is shaped to cut threads.
@@ChrisGraham00 I wondered about how the tool would always re-engage at the right rotation on the work. Your answer makes perfect sense.
@John Sambrook there are many great machinist channels that can show/explain the process. Check out @abom79 for one example
@@ChrisGraham00 thank you kindly, I wasn't taught this when I did machining at tech school. Always good to learn new things.
Love the Staffie action cam!
It's our fave too
Morning Kurtis, you've really gone over the top making the rollers out of Banana Skins ?😮. I must say really impressed with the Dog Cam, how steady the picture comes out as Homey is running about.
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
That is a banana-based anti-friction coating.
Homey is such a great addition to your family!!! He just LOVES ya'll with every fiber of his being.
Great to see you guys dedicated to your work.
❤ from Victoria
Homeless sure is a tonic, he makes my day, he's beautiful!
Great video as always, I absolutely love the Homeless cam! Thank you both for the great content!
Friday -- yay!
CEE with a new project -- yay!
Banana calipers -- woohoo!
Safety Officer Homeless on patrol with a camera mounted -- can't stop smiling. 😄😄
Thank you for this episode, your work is highly appreciated. I can't adequately describe how good it feels to see you again, but it is my favorite thing to get the feeling of a good weekend approaching with a relaxing episode from CEE.
I'd have exactly the same but a little different, if I had a lathe or a workshop. Great job as usual Kevin. Cheers from Croatia.
WRONG, its, kurtis
@@upinarms5752 kurtis who?
Homeless is the greatest gift anyone could ever receive. (Banana Caliper, close second)
Thank you for sharing him with us.😊
Hello Kurtis, Karen and Homeless.....thanks for a wonderful episode,
Cheers, Paul from the other 'Sunshine State'........
You Three are the Best thing to happen to UA-cam.....
But Ozzy Man is up there too.....I wish I could be that Hilarious.....
Thanks mate that's a heck of a compliment, we enjoy Ozzy Man & his reviews!
Watching the 2nd camera operator's🐈⬛ p.o.v always brings a smile to my face,that and the snorting/grunting. Look out Spielberg,Homey's on the hunt.
Great More well made shop tools, fantastic as always folks.
Hey Andrew thanks mate! Enjoy your weekend, hi to your dad
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Will do enjoy your weekend too
What a cute Lil pup❤❤
I don’t know, I get here within 2 minutes of release just to find you cut it short! 😢
🤣🤣🤣
Love that you are using the banana verynear!🤪
Have a good one folks!
In the terrible times in the world today it makes my heart lighter, makes me happy and glad, wonderful to see two young people happy and loving and making it.
Thank you for all you do.
Once again a well done video. Cant wait for part two. Cheers.
I would be happy just to sweep and keep the shop clean. 😊if I get to play with doggo that will be a bonus.
1045, one of my favorite all around steels to work with.
agreed!
Your standard of quality is unmatched.
Awesome as Always... Great vid thank you
I could hear the rain, but it was absolutely fine. The voice was loud and clear. Especially when it's mentioned and explained what it is, rain is not distracting; it is suing.
I don’t know if it would be cheaper but you can buy scaffolding feet that come with screw height adjustment. You’d only need add the rollers and tripod.
The banana caliper! I laughed so hard! 😂🤣😆
I'm a mechanic myself. And sometimes I'm thinking: "this I had done a different way." But in the end it has to work. And this it does. There are many way to come to the same result and I try to learn some things from you. I hope, this helps me in the future.
Hello from Adelaide guys. Love your skills Kurtis!
hey mate thanks for the support down there we appreciate it!
Nice video as always 🤙Homeless is so funny 🤙
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪and have a nice weekend.
Hey Kurtis, you can just weld 3 12mm nuts onto the bottom of your lathe roller stand plate to give you the tripod effect. Doesn't fix the ease of adjustment, but should fix the wobble. Love the great machining content. My lathe envy is growing!
Don't you swear at me! 😂 nothing will redeem that ugly made in a hurry stand it's going to find a new home once these are completed
Yeah right if he wanted it done that good he could send it to China where all the good stuff comes from 😂
Cobblers we are not.
At some point in your life that old thing you needed to do a quick job with got dragged out again and again, then once to often.
You can only polish crap so much, then it falls apart.
3 nuts is just polishing crap.
something satisfying watching the key-way getting cut with all the metal filings being pushed out. 😁
I swear Homeless has been in all the John Wick movies.....I saw John Wick 4 this last weekend and finally put it together that not only is he an internet star...he’s an international movie star. ... Top Dog there Mate!
haha yeah we reckon he looks a bit like the doggo in John Wick, and was it good?!? We are going to go have a date night and see #4 soon, we love the John Wick movies.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering it’s a Wick movie definitely....I’m glad they made all the others. But the first is and always will be the best....enjoy. It’s definitely a don’t worry about the price and get the big bucket of popcorn and munch away movie...
@@sawboneiomc8809 Nice, we're looking forward to it 👍
Hi Curtis, hi Karen respect from the UK
Hey Chris thanks for being one of the first to watch!
Hi ! I sure like your style Kurtis. Everything you make to help around the shop space is time well spent. I have never had a lathe that was capable of throwing a thread that long. As well I have never threaded that aggressively and fast. Speed is the likely culprit with the chatter. Anyone would be proud to have these stands. Built for a pro, by a pro. Great post my friends.
I never thought we would see a video with all measurements in Banana's not one mention of real measurements!
Karen's Editing skills are really good those timelapse jump cuts are smooth.
Keep up the good work guys.
Another amazing episode guys.. Love the bloopers... Homy Cam is just amazing.. You can really see how happy Homeless is.. Keep them coming .
Flame Cutting seems to be the only job you regularly outsource. Is that something that you would bring in-house or would the cost/numbers never add up?
hey mate good question, the amount of stock/plate we would have to carry plus the size of the machine is not worth our while, we get great pricing from our supplier 👍
I loved the inspection tour of the Safety Officer as it did afford us a precious view of the missus!
Hey, another awesome video really is a question for you if you were welding .5 A36 plate to a set of pallet forks what wire would you use?
Great videos! it was nice to hear an expert say the 'parts have been kicking around the shope for a few years'.... :)
I'm amazed you're building a tool using bananas. By choice!
Don't think I'll ever figure that one out.
The confusion might be because it's 3am in the states (but I doubt it. :) )
I came here for the precision machining...but I stay for the Homeless!!
you two are the best doggo parents for Homey hands down...living the best life for sure
thanks for another great episode
If there was an award for machining cinematography this would win
Wow thank you!
Australia is blessed to have people like you.
as inaccurate as plastic calipers probably are, the black on yellow makes it REALLY easy to see just how many banana wide a material is on camera. I support using them more in the future.
haha too easy mate we'll be sure to use them more often 👍
They are surprisingly accurate - to about +/- 0.02 bananas when I tested them (I could only make the vernier scale read to 0.02 banana increments due to the limitations of the 3D printing process).
@@kempy666999 Lovely! 🤣🤣🤣 Do you have any plans for TPB thread gauges?
@@mikepetersen2927 I'm always looking for ideas for my next banana metrology instrument. I'll keep them up my sleeve - you will have to watch and see what turns up in the CEE mail about Xmas time 😁
@@kempy666999 Awesome! Can't wait!
What I like most about your videos is that there is no music and I can hear everything that you are doing. This is really important because it lets me hear how hard you are grinding something or how hot you are welding. I have been retired for 7 years but I still love the sounds of the workshop and sometimes it gives me memories of the smell of hot metal or coolant when it's boiling on hot swarf. Great stuff you guys. Thank you.
love to see the imperial measurement calipers out and being used
