- This project had a little bit of everything to it. It is always nice to get projects like this in the shop because you get to use all your tools and skills. This was definitely the largest project in physical size I have ever had in the shop. It was a little tough to maneuver but I'm always surprised how you can make things work when you have to.

A palm router with a guide bearing is the way to go for large aluminium!
Hey Jimbo! The head of your mill should be able to move back and forth. Not just the table. I can see the dove tail on the bottom of your mill head. There should be two bolts on the left or right hand side of the column they might be 3/4 or 7/8 hex head. They are basically oversized set screws and there should also be a super accurate scale for you to reference to when you're moving the head back and forth over the table. Head should glide back and forth super easy if your machine is clean and lubed well. I hope this helps you mill some big items in the future.
Feeding filler was the hardest thing for me to learn. But now i don’t even think about it. So many different ways to feed. People who struggle with it at my work will let off the foot pedal with the filler in the puddle still and stick it, then slide up and continue. Love all the videos jimbo!
Thanks for taking us along on the project
Jimbo.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

McMaster makes long sluggers that will go all the way through 🇺🇸💪 nice job
Watching this man made me want to weld so happy I did
When machining the radius on the large fishplates. You have to drill holes in the fishplates to attach the plates to the "I" beams so why not drill the holes first so that you can use the same holes to do a better job clamping down the fishplates to machine the radii and offer you better positioning.
Aluminium nice and soft to work
Miss Ellaneous appears to have played an important part in that project.
Thanks for the video! Regarding using the hole saw in the mill, a great trick is to drill one or more holes tangent to the cut on the inside/waste side so that the swarf can fall out of the teeth once a revolution. Also, having an air-mist system (basically an industrial airbrush) will help out a lot with the chips. Regarding advancing the filler rod, Jody of WeldingTipsAndTricks, recommends that you pinch the rod between your thumb and side of your palm, and between your ring & middle fingers. You can grip between your fingers, relax your thumb, and advance the rod, then you grip with your thumb, move your fingers back, and re-grip for the next advance.
Jimbo, I think for the 48" long plate that needs to be milled, I would have drilled the holes that are going in that plate first and then you would have had ample places to bolt the plate nicely down to the bed of your milling machine. Love your videos, keep up the good work. TP
Exactly what I was thinking also. And he could have used a router with a round over bit.
Awesome video as always. Hopefully they enjoy it. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
The radius cut. The second cut was a climb cut. Climb cutting will get a better finish. Chips don’t get fed into the cut. We had some older milling machines in our shop. Sometimes when climb milling you will need to slight tighten the table clamp to keep the cutter from pulling any slack in the table and jumping and taking too much of a bite. I didn’t hear what grade of aluminum you were using. We used kerosene for aluminum to get a better finish but that was 20 years ago. Might be better lubricants available now.
Great job jimbo look forward to the next project.
Novice here. Any tips for bidding jobs? Perhaps that would be a good topic for a future video. Thank you for all of your content!!!
Drill holes in the plate for Mill clamp down.... then weld the holes up after... or leave the predrilled holes.
Good practice for wire feeding is just to do it while your watching tv with gloves on. You'll look a little ridiculous but that s what helped me
Good video, Jimbo. very informative
good good
Awesome 👌
Good job sir regards
Considering the material, I would suggest to use a simple hand held router to round off the Aluminium plate on either edge?
Saludos desde Argentina amigo
How did you transport it to his place?
Parabéns meu amigo 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

structure point i don't think you would get a permit to build it that way structural bolts would have been required for the job too
Hay Jimbo do you use a vacuum system? I see th mill kicking out a lot of burrs.
I would have expected a lot more than 24 bolts to hold those two beams together,
What is the name of the cutter nice work.
Not enough bolts for my liking, especially in the web fishplates. At very least, I would of doubled up the amount of bolts.
Also, I would of pre drilled all the fishplates not just the web fishplates.
Sorry for the questions. For a bolted connection, it feels like there should be about 2-4x as many bolts through the web & flange as there is?
Also, shouldn't the bridging plates be a larger thickness than the main material? A325 or A490 Structural bolts used?
Did you have plans to engineer to?
galvanic corrosion?
Good evening Jumbo. What is an expert welding helmet I can purchase.
Hi Jimbo. How much did the two beams cost?
👌👍
I hate doing the same thing twice also. Not that I wont but I’d rather move onto something new.
If the client wants to help you have to charge double.
👍🤘🤙✊
Climb milling = smoother finish/ conventional milling = crappy finish with radius cutting
Why not use a router to round over that aluminum?
I bet those aluminum beams were cheap.
LOL, almost free.
YUP 😂
