  • In this video we are making new custom bearing mounts for our Line Borer! These bearing mounts are designed for our our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable line boring machine. We already have standard mounts that came with the machine but need to make new ones that will be more rigid and are adjustable so we can use the Sir Meccanica facing head. To make these mounts we are using 20mm plate, hollow tube, 40mm round bar and some other bits & pieces. We show the step by step process including cutting & machining the hollow tube that will be the mount for the machine. We then machine and weld the plates onto the tube and mill out the slots in the plate to suit a 14mm bolt. We also machine up 12 stand offs including drilling and tapping so they can be bolted onto the plates.
    In this video we are using:
    - Hafco TM-1740G Lathe
    - Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
    - WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

    Keep in mind this is a common shop tool. A tool that will see years of work doing pretty mundane but accurate cuts and boring. Yet despite all that it looks like a piece of art. Absolutely brilliant workmanship Kurtis. Also a smashingly great job by the videographer and editor. Brilliant work Ms. Karen as well. Lets not forget the safety officers presentation on how to properly destroy rubber pigs and move dog beds. Short and to the point and no on the job injuries or OSHA violations.

    That was an awesome tool making video. Great camera work Karen just as we've come to expect - yes we are spoiled. The attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal. For example, the way Kurtis wants to make sure his cap bill is aligned straight for those close up facial shots tells me he is prepping for a cover photo shoot of GQ magazine, very impressive.
    As a side note, we have a huge feral hog problem here in Texas and Homeless might be the solution we've been looking for. The way he can gut a pig in short order sends a message to all the remaining pigs in the area!
    Thanks again for all the great content!
