That spray welding is an interesting process. Saving customers thousands of dollars. And Max is a professional at its application. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us Max. 👍🏻🍻
G'day Max. Nice metal spraying, & without holes in the weld, which saved time. Nice bit of machining, slow & steady always hits the mark. Good bit of video work. Well done Ted
Tackling the sprayed material from the center out, seems so logical (preventing chip-out), but I think that's the first time I've seen it. Nice one Max :)
G'day Max. I was watching " Tinkering with Tanks" the other day ( binge watching) and they were changing one of these where that big cast casing had broken apart, and the annulus and the three planet gears had large chunks taken off of the teeth and had to be replaced. This was on a replica WW1 Mk 4 British tank that the motorcycle champion Guy Martin was involved with having made for his Chanel 4 programmes a few years ago. The tank was displayed at the Menin Gate at Ypres on Armistice day that year. It now resides at the Norfolk Tank Museum. It's their UA-cam channel Tinkering with Tanks. Well worth a look. (And also the UA-cam version of the Guy Martin programme of the making of the tank)
Well bugger me sideways and G'day Max, pitch black and bloody cold on a Saturday morning here, hot fresh coffee and a video from you, to start my day, absolutely spot on my mate,, have a great one and thanks for sharing 👍
You've already reached hero level on UA-cam Max, machined like a real mechanic would do it,filmed like a real cinematographer, no worries mate! Those micro 100 brazed on tools give a nice finish. They seem to be pretty popular.
Max , brilliant video, I have been subscibed to your channel for a good while now, as a hobbiest machinest I have learnt so much looking at your vids , great keep them coming , All the very best to you and Family . Best regards Mike from Cornwall UK .
Resurfacing a bearing surface is a tricky procedure. I am also machining for a bearing to fit. From other videos the material needs good safety protection. I only have to deal with balancing g a faceplate to achieve a good finish. Technic is what seperates the ameture from the professional. Many steps shown here. But like anything there is a good way & a bad way. Or send it to China. Great example of a 3rd generation knowledge bank.
Max, quite brittle stuff? Looks like turning cast iron. Correct? I like your shimming trick on the pipe center. One to remember. When correcting alignment I used to shift the tail stock which is quite a hassle. Especially because you have to realign it for the next job afterwards too. This is a nice quick and dirty method. I also us a boring bar in the tail stock with a fixed center mounted in the middle. By adjusting the "cross slide" of it you can reposition the part quite nice. Live center is better though. Maybe I convert a live center to a cylindrical shaft so I can mount it in the boring head too. Tip? Best! Job PS: the number added to the tolerance type letter can be translated as the desired "quality" (or the price ;-)) of the fit. The lower the number the smaller the tolerance bandwidth . So actually the m5 has a narrower window of succes than the n6 or m6. And, don't be offended, the metric system is so much easier to work with. I noticed that a lot of the technical education in the US is changing to metric now. Not to nag but the standard for the imperial system is also derived from metric. Just give it a go and be pleased with the ease of use. A "tenth" just got a complete new meaning here...Last addition not for you Max. I noticed you're familiar with both systems. Just for other machinist who get tired of using divisions by head.
I would think maybe a type of ductile cast iron . The chips from the weld prep were like tiny brittle noodles and chips not just chips , if you can make sense of that ! Cheers Dean 👍
> nice going there max. utbe prompted the new workshop roofing completion the other day - very nice. i dont think many people who havent undertaken such a project realize how far out of pocket something like that entails...probably why purchasing new tooling more often than not gets superceded for whats on hand that will suffice. take care amigo.
Hi Max, looks like cast iron, might be wrong, not a durable material for the high loads. The fitters back in the sixties and seventies in the refinery were a tough breed! Just looked up, made in Denmark.
Hi Max. Just wondering why the spray weld process couldn’t be used on the worn shoulder section. Would that not save time in turning down all three sections? I’ve never used this process so probably a stupid question but was curious.
just out of curiosity, How long would this repair be expected to last? as these machines get a lot of abuse, Also how many times can they be repaired on average? Thx for great video
All of the ones i have done , it has been there first repair . Not sure how many hours are on the trucks , some fail way too early from new . I guess time will tell on the repair life as a lot depends on the scheduled wheel bearing torque inspections . 👍
Even though the JFMT isn't perfect it looks to me like she's earning her keep. I am assuming the sometime in the future she will be perfect. BTW, have you given the old girl a name yet? KOKO!
SFB question? Would a steady rest and tickle up the cone bearing surface true be acceptable? Second thought. Beer can aluminium is remarkably consistent in thickness, unless you have drunk the contents first.
I would use a tailstock mounted 4 jaw chuck first to save time if i had one . My steady rest is not big enough to use that method . I still have a bigger steady rest & tail stock chuck make one for that lathe . 👍

Hi Max. Yes another awesome instalment.
Yes the new mechanics are an interesting breed.
I call them parts swappers.
I call them spare part fitters . That's all we get at work these days ! 👍
Well done Max!
No worries 👍
G'day Max. Nice metal spraying, & without holes in the weld, which saved time.
Nice bit of machining, slow & steady always hits the mark.
Good bit of video work. Well done
Ted
Cheers Ted 👍
Enjoy seeing the work right down to the nitty gritty! Thanks!
No worries 👍

That is the method recommended by Eutectic . Cheers 👍

Cheers Ralfy . Enjoy your coffee ! 👍
As always great job Max. Cheers from Canada
Thanks 👍
G'day Max from the UK, perfect timing just got a coffee ☕
Cheers 👍

Quick video 😮 58:48! Dang Max, iffn that is quick I’d like to see a long one 😂
Lol , cheers 👍
another project wel done, thanks for sharing max.
cheers
ben.
No worries 👍
Hi there Max. Great repair on the axle housings. Wd 40 has a product similar to that CRC one,it is jell like when sprayed. 👍Cheers
Thanks Randy . 👍
Glad you're not in a hurry to mess up a part. Good to teach these habits.
Are you dreaming up a King-way measuring device?
Yes , some sort of device . 👍
Nicely done max👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Muy buen trabajo 👌👍 un saludo
Thanks 👍
Great job Max Thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Net trick with the shim in the tail stock. Would you use a 4-jaw tail stock chuck instead if you had it?
Yes , but i still have to make one for this lathe . Cheers Rob . 👍

Yes , cast iron base material . I cut my teeth on metric milling machines and inch lathes , you soon get used to it ! Cheers 👍
Thx for the vid.
No worries 👍
Nicely detailed Max thanks for bringing us along.
Are those just regular cast-iron or are they some type of ductile material?
Cheers……

Thanks, Max. Enjoyable as always.
No worries 👍
Another great video. Thanks.

Blame covid , the prices sky rocked after that . The Zinc levy went up every month . 👍
Thanks for the video ! Was the original part cast iron or cast steel ?
Cast Iron . 👍
"Think" Graffenstaden Horizontal Boring Machine! I'm ready.
I think about it every week ! 👍
Thanks for that Max
No worries 👍
Thank you Max!
Cheers 👍
So, no burr of the week this time :)
Just had one on the milling machine !!! That was a great sand castle you built ! 👍
Hi Max, looks like cast iron, might be wrong, not a durable material for the high loads.
The fitters back in the sixties and seventies in the refinery were a tough breed!
Just looked up, made in Denmark.
The base material is Cast Iron , The spray weld is a good match with high wear qualities . 👍
A couple beauties !!
Cheers 👍
Hi Max. Just wondering why the spray weld process couldn’t be used on the worn shoulder section. Would that not save time in turning down all three sections? I’ve never used this process so probably a stupid question but was curious.
That would complicate the job & make it a lot longer process . You would probably have to spray each area on it's own . 👍
just out of curiosity, How long would this repair be expected to last? as these machines get a lot of abuse, Also how many times can they be repaired on average? Thx for great video

Even though the JFMT isn't perfect it looks to me like she's earning her keep. I am assuming the sometime in the future she will be perfect. BTW, have you given the old girl a name yet? KOKO!
Soo lee ! In the future i would like to regrind the inner section of the outer way . 👍
Cheers Max 👍🇳🇱
Thanks 👍
SFB question? Would a steady rest and tickle up the cone bearing surface true be acceptable? Second thought. Beer can aluminium is remarkably consistent in thickness, unless you have drunk the contents first.

@@swanvalleymachineshop thanks, I really appreciate the ingenuity of working with what you’ve got.
Beer can aluminum for shims, brilliant + good reason to have ample supply on hand 🙂
Thanks, .Max
Cheers 👍
Thanks Max 😁

left handed thread on Chuck ? MAXY Mollydooker
No , it was gripped with the inside jaws in the bore ! Cheers 👍
Making fun of us backyarders 🤣
Lol , there's backyarders and there are '' Backyarders '' !!! Cheers 👍👍👍
Watching from Ekatherineburg in Russia a lot of Olga's walking around !
Kit from up north
A long way from home ! Cheers 👍
