Drive Rollers, Rush Job for the County
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- I helped the welding shop complete a couple drive rollers, a fish job that needed to be finished up quickly to get a vital piece of machinery back up and running for the local utilities authority. I was asked to machine the two shafts need for the rollers while the welding shop provided the pipe and welded them all together.

I enjoy seeing the new shop come together but definitely nice to see some actual work getting done!
This was created at the house shop
@@philipmackin1025 I'm sure he knows that, what I think he was trying to say it's nice to see some actual machining being done here. I too like the new shop videos but I also _really_ like seeing the machines and Adam working them. :)
@@larry527az3 yep, i started watching another channel just to see some chips flying
@@dakotareid1566 agreed, Kurtis gets more done in a day than other 'youtube machinists' get done in a month. I love how Cutting Edge is a real business with youtube just being a sideline.
Forget lawyers and politicians and bankers and insurance salesmen, it is so gratifying to watch the people who really make this country function using their skills and doing their jobs.
You know Adam. After all these years watching you i still really enjoy seeing the 3 generations of engineers in the closing last seconds. Its so heart warming of the love and respect that, that photos shows. Hoping to see a lot more work start to filter in once your new shop is fully commissioned 👍👍
Well, machinists, not engineers.
Adam, you are so right about spares. 26:05 Right out of high school I went to work for General Motors. I worked in a Press Metal factory. Cold sheets of metal were pressed into shapes such as fenders, or transmission brackets. The press behind me made bumpers back when the were shiny chrome metal things. (Look up a photo of the front of the 1975 Oldsmobile 88.) That press broke early in one of my shifts. The machine repair crew came, started working, and the next thing I know a gear 16 inches wide, and 10 feet in diameter is sitting on the floor next to me. By the middle of the afternoon, they had removed the broken gear, and installed the IN STOCK replacement gear. The broken one was missing two teeth, and had six others damaged. The repairman told me they would fix the broken one and put it back in stock. To this day the idea of stocking a gigantic gear as a spare part is mind boggling. That factory was 1/2 mile by 1 mile, and employed 25,000 hourly workers. GM is amazingly huge. It still has 155,000 hourly workers.
As a millwright, I have had managers looking over my shoulder telling me that every minute of downtime is costing them so many thousand dollars. It pays to have a part like that gear in stock.
@@millwrightrick1 Yes, but it costs a lot to have the space and buildings to stock up on everything. What I don't understand though, is that they don't see the advantage of having people and machines working with maintenance and repair, in stead of outsourcing everything.
@@qivarebil2149 Note how many countries are now moving back into manufacturing rather than outsourcing that to China and becoming a service economy. The loss of manufacturing jobs is far more costly than the things built, it is the loss of a workforce who knows how to build anything and the mindset that gives...
I work in HighTech industry, It's "the plan" of run it, as it's cheaper to run a multi-million dollar machine to death, or a section of it, beat it till repairs are 100-250k and shotgun repair an entire section or the whole machine.
They make 1B profit a month, after ALL current operations costs activities, so they actually really DON'T CARE whatsoever, the "plan works profitably" but make ppl think they do care.
Corporations are beasts and only care about profits at the end of the day!
The whiny managers are slaves like workers just making the "system" function and Move along to keep the mule team marching and things progressing.
Because I SEE MORE then these bind idiots from managers to the Top exec's, I ACTUALLY DO know How to make thing FAR better on ALL levels of things yet its rare they can hear a single piece of common sense ,, especially when its a WIN/WIN for self labor pains and real metrics of profits results.
High Tech only makes "logic" (chips circuitry) They DON'T use it though!!!
@@millwrightrick1 As an industrial maintenance mechanic I’ve told managers that the longer they stand there watching me work, the longer it will take me to finish the job.
I am still shocked at how much wear that is. That must have been rattling like a Metallica drum kit lol 😂
It doesn't take much. I've got a picture of one that broke at work a few months back. The surface of the pulley wore down and finally collapsed. Luckily it was a known issue and the parts had just come it to replace the pulley, after a 3month+ wait on the order, and me(an equipment operator) personally speccing the parts as our shop couldn't figure out what was needed.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 You're telling me there wasnt a single fitter in your team of engineers that couldn't measure a pulley and a shaft? I very much doubt that. In all my years as a maintenance tech I've never even heard of an operator ordering parts for a machine as, A) Its not in the scope of work for an operator, and B) Youre not qualified as a maintenance engineer so I dont see how the maintenance crew would be cool with you to be ordering the parts for their job. No offence Im sure youre a skilled operator but I dont see how the situation would come about that you would be doing the work of a technician.
Absolutely love that comparison!🥁🥁🥁
M B I’m ravensbar’s defence I have seen a shaft on an agitation system chew itself up after 1 run. This was due to the end user not specifying the medium it was agitating therefore the designers didn’t accommodate for that. It’s all in the details and from my experience we can all be the worlds best maintenance techs but if the system was never specked correctly we can never blame poor design or maintenance
M B this post is not an argument it is a discussion about previous experiences to a mutual understanding of what this video represents. If we are going down that route ask yourself is it the operator at fault or the engineer that wouldn’t engage and help the operator out. Maybe the company’s processes don’t give enough emphasis on PPMs. As such the internal customer losses faith in the engineer that could not communicate effectively probably because they got blamed for the fault. I’m my opinion the operator had no choice and was a bit more proactive about it. If we work mutually it avoids wonky shafts and broken machinery. I respect operators for the knowledge they have on machinery they see every hour of every day. If us as engineers work with operators we form a mutual trust. Scoffing at them does not work. We are not special in this world.
I will bet when the new one breaks they will put in the spare and not order a new spare and be in the same mess all over again. that’s sounds about right lol 😂
Or scrap the machine next week !!
Work in a blow molding plant and I can confirm management cannot be told something is broken until the machine is no longer making bottles then it’s a large show of “first time I’m hearing this” and “how do we prevent this” then they will overnight bearings at an exuberant cost and rush a shaft when we could have replaced it a month ago but it wasn’t in the budget.
Just spent 6 months working at a GM Powertrain factory and its the same thing with 20-25 y.o. machines. Every week one of the stations has a massive oil leak of 5-10g requiring them to either slow production as part of a line is down, or actually shut a line down waiting for repairs.
Gotta keep production up, even though they're filling parking lots with incomplete vehicles due to chip shortage....
i work on conveyors. let me tell ya, that was ran way past what my shop would have considered functional failure.
I used to spec new conveyors for customers back in the '80s. Always amazed how many of them would just run to failure and THEN want a rush job! Sold Pumps and Compressors too. Had one guy with BIG horizontal split-case turbine pump with a bad shaft. For some reason because we sold the pumps, he expected us to have every part for every different one in OUR stock! Nope. Called the manufacturer and the lead time on the shaft was a month. Dude went ballistic on me and then expected ME to make one! I could have but we weren't a machine shop. Told him so and suggested he have a local machine shop make him one. SOB actually called MY boss and complained that "*I* wouldn't help him"! I was SO glad when I got a job where I didn't have to deal with customers! And dealing with vendors is a WHOLE different ballgame! :(
@@PhilG999 it's crazy. my maintenance shop includes machine tools. even then we still stock spare parts.
Thank you for the thorough explanations and practical application exploration into the important role machine shops play in our everyday lives. You remind us of the indispensable importance of behind the scenes skilled “labor”. I quote labor because society has made it a dirty word and implies it is lesser of a career than others, but you respectfully publicly remind everyone that we would be lost without skilled craftspeople to keep our world in productive running order. Learning your craft makes going to college look like a walk in the park and it’s time to shine the light of respect and admiration on you. Machining looks easy, but we know it’s impossibly difficult to do well accurately, precisely, and correct. Thank you for the lessons in measuring with “cheap” precision instruments! It’s never easy dedicating a scientific instrument to the rough work, but it’s necessary to keep time and tolerance.
Appreciate you every day my friend,
-CY Castor
What society makes it a dirty word? None I've ever lived in. Show me where and I'll believe ya. Those elements of society who refer to labor as a dirty word are otherwise known as "pussies".
All labor is skilled.

So nice to see you and the machines being used for real jobs. This is what I miss about this channel the most. We all love seeing you flex and your skills being put to use.
Yep, Thats why we always charged for "Expedited Service" The Automotive Industry (Big 3). Where NOTORIOUS for doing just this. And living and working for all 3 and having 11 plants between the 3 of them. It was a continuous thing to be putting out the FIRES at one or another of these plants. Sometimes 3 or 4 at a time. And then didn't care, They would tell us "What ever it takes, We just need to be back up and running as quickly as possible" And it didn't matter if it was Holidays, Weekends, or any other time, Just FIX IT. And if it was something like a press that was going to take days or weeks, Then they would call in a ARMY of semi trucks and completely move a stamping line to another facility and resume production. Often this was a complete move of dies, check fixtures, containers (racks) And steel (blanks,or coils) From NE, Ohio to Piedmont, SC. I can't tell you how many times I made that trip and would "Turn and Burn" and go get another load of what ever needed moved. Ford was the worst for it. They thought it was less than a 4 hr complete turn around and thought they would only lose a shift for a complete line move. And would scream when it would take a day to get the over size and over weight permits for the Ford Truck Dies. We made a LOT OF 💰💰💰 of there "unscheduled break downs"
Sounds just like the paper mill industry.
You could have just spray flame repaired that part, I got faith in you
Just needs a lot of time and patience! 🤣
@@Gameboygenius That and spray compound is expensive (and the gasses), probably cheaper for the 1018 stock, and... and... but yeah I get the joke :D
@@utidjian although I'd be legitimately curious to see how well it would hold up compared to cold rolled stock.
@@Gameboygenius Not very well. Watch some of Adams other videos on flame welding and you will find some where he discusses the limitations. For one thing that old shaft was hammered (fullered?) down until it broke into two pieces. According to the Eutectic literature the max thickness is 2 mm (about 0.080".) If your curiosity is "legitimate", as you say, you are welcome to buy a kit and supplies and satisfy yourself that despite what the manufacturer and Adam say about its suitability for such an application. Then you can post the video to youtube. No one is stopping you.
I am surprised you don't have any micrometers in metric or a digital one for metric work.
I love watching you build new ones from scratch. The before/after comparisons give the best feeling, seeing all that nice new shiny metal shaped to perfection.
This brings back memories. In my school holidays I helped to saw off hundreds and hundreds of pipes and rods for conveyor belt retrofitting at a mining company. After a while I was shown to assemble the smaller support rollers on my own. With the money from that job I was able to buy my first computer. 😁
Good to see some machining again... don't want to let your skills atrophy!
Very satisfying to see these kinds of jobs coming into your shop again Adam. Looks like you are equipping the new shop to kick that up another notch.

Do you find it disgusting that we in the USA have to wait on stuff from China when we have a high unemployment rate? I do. MADE IN AMERICA means something.
Thank your politicians and company shareholders. The shareholders want profits now, which was easy to do with outsourcing, and the politicians allowed it with the lack of taxes to discourage it. (Doesn't help the politicians usually end up with money in their pocket to even figure out tax breaks)
I'm sure if this smart phone I am using, was made in usa, would be too expensive for me to afford. Though whenever I can I buy products made in usa.
Drilled an 8.5 mm diameter hole, 1-1/2" deep. I bet the metric-boys heads are exploding! LOL. Multi-lingual is were it's at.
He always converts to bananas. 😉
That certainly didn't come out of a gravel quarry. It wasn't trashed enough. When it falls off the machine and gets recycled through the hammermill a few times ... then they admit that it needs "repair."
Can you tell that I worked at one at some point in life? Yeah, I spent a decade working at one, one year ...
Just a clarification: QD bushings are Morse, Taper Lock are Reliance-Dodge. Sold them both for 5 years back in the '80s. I always preferred to use the Taper Lock, but customers bought them both about equally.
Thought I'd mention it because ordering a QD hub for a Taper Lock sheave/pulley/sprocket (and vice versa) will cost someone time because they are NOT interchangeable! ;)
I always preferred the Taper Lock bushings. They tend to work better in tight spots over the QD types.
For the last 5 days i have been addicted to Abom79
Quality educated content thanx man keep up and i wish you all luck
It's the same thing in the sand and gravel industry. Run it till it breaks. Then the poor mechanic has to work until it's done.
Holy _moly_ !! It was only at 11:22 that I fully realised what had happened to the original shafts! I thought that there was plenty of lathe work to follow…. and then it hit me, that was _all_ wear, not feature. 😂
I really liked the presentation on this video Adam a little knowledge as to why the job is for always make it interesting for me. I was a certified welder in my day and was considering machine work after getting a touch in trade school but never pursued it. Sure wish I had. Kudos on this one.
From New Yankee Workshop to Abom79 to Curtis from CEE there is something very calming about watching a master working at their craft, keep up the good work
Awesome job!! We've been seeing lots of roller repairs lately too.
Great to see you here! I got my bushing material in today! Another rush job 😁
It's ballot printing season.
@@Abom79 Could you tell me number of insert that you use on lathe 4 times and then you use it on a milling machine for a face milling?
You said it some time in your previous video but i cant find it.Also whats the name of round insert on 7:44 ?
Hey Adam, what kind of light is that at the quill? It looks like you got a dog on there?
Govt employees just don't seem to care. It's not my responsibility, it's not my problem.
I love this stuff. I don't know why, but watching Adam turning a shaft is a joy and pleasure for me. LOL. Doesn't everybody wait until a significant part breaks? Why spend money on routine maintenance when it is so much fun to pay Adam for a Rush Job?
🤷🏽♂️😂
As a mechanic I appreciate you guys when I need something in a hurry ty
Unfortunately, maintenance managers are dictated the routine maintenance schedules by factory managers that generally feel that "it ain't broke until it's broke". Then put everyone else (workshop and suppliers) under stress trying to get their lines operational again. They really don't ever learn the value of maintenance days. 6:45 Why wouldn't you use a metric caliper to machine a metric feature?
Because he is working on machines that are graduated in inches (or Imperial.) Adam has explained before that most all of his gages and machine tools are graduated in inches except for his digital stuff which is just a button push away from Metric. If he doesn't know it already it is one single calculation to get 30 mm X inches/25.4 mm = 1.1811 inches. Now how many caculations would you have to do for each pass if all you had was a metric micrometer to measure with but your machines are graduated in imperial? It is MUCH more efficient to work with graduations that his tools and tooling has and do the conversion once for each target dimension.
I work a bunch of rolls of a similar style, those gauge blocks are very important for keyways!
This brings back memories of my past. As all of us know in the maintenance and metal crafts, nothing like a break down on a vital machine to bring all hands on deck! I laughed when I saw the roller assembly. The customer sure got their money's worth from that shaft assembly! 😂
As usual, your attention to detail, quick work, and narrative were fantastic. The fact you and Joe have a great working relationship shows what working together can have a job leave a smile on your faces.
Thanks for sharing Adam. 👍👍👍
Always nice to see a repair video. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. So nice to see you back in the shop again.
Hello Adam, really enjoy your videos, question... I see when you make the small radius, the tool chatter a little, some say that if you go down with the radius tool, just a "hair"... not perfectly centered, it helps. I don't know if is true, this is the reason I ask you 🙂, I'm not a specialist and use a lathe just sporadically (don't have one myself)
Thank you for keep the level so high in terms of learning content, is a pleasure to watch you.
First time I have seen you use a Shaper/Planer gauge......I recently bought one
to help a guy out who was selling, now I know another use for it.....
Thanks Adam......
Great to see how different specialist shops work together to handle emergencies. 👏
It's good that they are having the spare roller made now, so it won't be such an emergency when it breaks again. But how much would you bet that what breaks next is something else that was run too long, and that'll be an emergency? :)
Working for the city or county must be nice to not have any consequences for not maintaining equipment or being failing to be proactive.
Not only government, many private businesses are the same. Drives employees who care to tears.
@@boots7859 And selling parts to them is fun too! When I was in the Mill and Industrial supply business dealing with the City (Atlanta) was a PITA! They were always on COD too! :(
Good job my brother 👍🤝🇮🇩 indonesia
He's a solid machinist. Brother? Lol
Always, always make spares! Once you are tooled up, producing another identical part is a trivial matter {even considering the cost of the materials involved}. I'm now retired, but spent over 30 years working part-time in my home basement making fancy circuit boards for specialty geophysical instruments. If my business partner {in another city} needed to ship 8 complete systems, I'd fab 9 or 10 sets of cards. That way, if one of them was out-of-spec when we later assembled each system {in his basement shop}, we always had a fall-back & I could diagnose & fix the problem later on my own time. Worked well for us as a small-shop manufacturing strategy, but of course "your mileage may vary"...
Great vid Abom!! Cool to see a little more of how the industry works.
Can't get enough of this. I went to "school" for tool and die, but when it progressed into the CNC portion I lost all interest and parted ways. Good old fashioned manual machining is a humble living. Plus I just love the smell of them oily chips ! Haha.
I like your lufkin micrometer!!
Made in Saginaw Michigan
" Have a spare one on the shelf so your equipment is not down for too long" . I don't know how many times I had arguments with our Management teams saying the exact thing but they were more interested in budgets , That is until the system went down and all hell breaks loose. lol
Some people have vision, some people need to learn the hard way!
What gets to me is that they call themselves "Management."😃
WRT multiple sets of gauge blocks: This sort of thing is common in all measuring equipment. You have your everyday cheap equipment, and you occasionally calibrate (measure & record deviation, possibly adjust) it against a "working standard" of higher quality. That one gets sent to a calibration lab on a schedule (say anually) to be calibrated to a "transfer standard". That in turn is calibrated up the chain back to a national standards lab's "primary standard".
For length, that means comparing gauge blocks, micrometers, and the like against something like an end standard or step gauge. The primary standard is a laser interferometer combined with an atomic clock, which measures distance based on the speed of light and the duration of the second.
1" = 2.54mm, 1mm = 1/1000m, 1m is the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/29979458s, 1s is the duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the Caesium-133 atom.
You don't want to have to maintain a laser interferometer & Caesium atomic clock in every shop, so much simpler devices (like gauge blocks) get made to transfer a desired precision measurement capability.
when power tapping at 10:52 have you got the tailstock loose to the bed and just holding some pressure on it as the tap drives itself in?
Yes. Tailstock is loose and get pulled with the tap. Keep a little hand pressure on it to help it along.
Grate machine work Abom79 thanks for sharing
When it fell in half is when they decided it needed fixed. Lol not the 2 weeks it’s sounded like a cement mixer full of log chains. 🤪
Gotta love 1018, surface finish like bubblegum. I suppose copper is worse, but you don't have to deal with it as often.
1018/1020 is cheap and tough and pretty much standard for shafting unless a client specifies a different grade.
@@ellieprice363 Yeah, I'd go as far to say "mild steel" might be the most important metal of all time, probably like 90% of the world's industry spins on shafts just like that one. Still not fun to get a good finish on, though. 😁
If he says "We start by facing the ends, as is tradition" we'll hear a squee all the way from Canada...
Adam, how are they able to have a bearing at the keyway?
Love all the videos! Great content. I always wonder about whether you ever fear getting caught by the lathe in a situation like that seen starting at 13:58. Seems like one bad movement or slip could result in serious injury. Maybe it's an illusion due to the camera's perspective though. Thanks very much Adam!
The answer is when not if. Note though Adam has a handle on the file that alone reduces the possibility of obvious serious injury by id say 90% using a file on a running lathe, tiding up corners etc is part and parcel of lathe work occasionally the file will slip and bang off the rotating chuck its always a suprise, mostly a shock moment and you carry on, being slightly more careful. The thought of the file catching and coming back at your wrist/arm ( look at the position of Adams right arm) guess where the pointed tang of a file would stab him... Not good. folks at home put handles on your files! or at least a bit of hard plastic tube. Cover the tang up ...
Perfect shaft diameters and features.. it's really not as easy as Adam Makes it look.. his method is top shelf in my opinion.
Classic Abom. Thanks Adam, I always enjoy the “hey man” repair videos.
No messin' ! Top job as usual, Adam! Thank you for sharing. Nice job using the radius coin inserts - pure manual skill needed on them.
These are your best videos Adam, thanks for sharing
We had a customer once who bought 4 new machines from us and then also bought almost enough spare parts and assemblies to build themselves a fifth. That's the way to do it if your budget allows.
I have rebuilt several rollers and shafts very similar to what you have there.
As for the shaft; you can get those shafts fully-keyed in hardened and ground shafting. Makes the job so much easier - as you only have to cut to length and machine the one end, significantly reducing the fab/down time.
Nice seeing the fab work !
You know how having an extra in stock works out, when it gets used it's like, We don;t need to order that right now, we get X years out of these . we don;t have the budget right now. then it gets forgotten until tragedy strikes again!
I bet it could be a nightmare having metric and imperial measurements in the same workpiece!
Great video. I used to do repairs just like this all the time. Real bread and butter work for shops I used to work in. I am a pencil pusher now, but I still enjoy watching it.
That rascal ate right through that key and the shaft and they finaly noticed something wrong when it busted it two.
"It's making a funny noise..."
@@ydonl My late wife worked in a doctors office and the doctors would jam up the copy machine all the time, she would find 20 or 30 pages gnarled up in it and would ask the doctors "Where did you think the pages were going after the first one did not come out?" That went on for years she tried to keep them away from the machine but they always had something they just had to copy.
@@JohnBare747 It's hard to imagine, isn't it? I wonder if it's something like part of their brains big and well-developed, with other parts of their brains kind of shrunk to make room in there... :)
shaft job $$, shaft job for the county $$$, rush shaft job for the county $$$$$ !! Nice!!
I would’ve been puckered up to the max doing that power tapping.
IKR. Gotta be damn sure of concentricity. Look at me, I sound like Joe Pie.
I'll power tap at my 9 to 5. Work always has a surplus of taps and steel. At my home shop, every hole is done by hand.
I don't want the aggravation of trying to remove a broken tap.
EPA fines for improper discharges from treatment plants are pretty hefty and they increase in magnitude (double) daily. So down time is expensive!!
This reminds of when we used to do plastic injection mold repair for Wagner/Federal Mogul. They would bring one (or several) molds at a time, the smallest still weighing half a ton and the big ones around 3-4 tons. They would drop it off one day and want it back the day before 😬 not really but they killed a lot of your work time calling and asking when you would be done.
Pfff . And I thought that just my country are running part until they were the hell out of them
Good video. I miss that kind of work.
These repair jobs are always interesting. Thanks for taking the time to show them.
Don’t give him to much info Adam he seems to be interested in making those for himself and I don’t believe he’s got time to watch your vids for the info or don’t think he would have spent the time on searching the video for info as seems to be a busy shop otherwise
They can sit and measure a shaft. If they wanted to make it they would have. They hired it out for a reason.
It's silly to try and act like it's a secret. Just do good work for a fair price and the work will never end.
lol they hired it out because they don't have the tools to make the precision parts and time to do it.
also in a rush job like that it's gonna take longer to make it yourself if this isn't what you do every day
The angle on the initial image of the broken shaft and the replacements makes the replacements look too small. Waiting paid off and you had a comparison at the end. How much would that shaft and roller cost from the OEM? Or is stuff like that unobtainium now?
24:47 i heard that as Bridgeport for all your basic milling and grilling needs haha
See I don't know why he didn't do that to other shaft before he pulled out of he's set up so that he knew for sure all 3 key ways would be parallel to each other..I am sure they will be... I just would have rather done it while I had each shaft in the set up and on the machine... rather pull off and realine with a level... just makes sense to me.... but abom knows he's stuff so... go abom...ooh and re has to reset the DRO...
Seen a roller wear out and fail that bad. Went to take it to the expensive but good machine shop. Our owner said no… take it to the place down the street that is cheap, we did and it was longer turn around and ended up costing more…. We reinstalled it and it failed 4 days later. Customer was a big name customer and not pleased. Tried telling the owner that these larger customers down care about money when they are down… they just want to be back and running… but he was a sales guy by trade and did not get it. Since then the business has been falling apart. Glad I am no longer there.
Yes, usually in Industry theyll run machines into the ground in order to make profi. Glad to see you take care of your equipment.
I just hate to see a big huge watch on a person's wrist when working with power tools. Rings can be problematic too but the huge watch really bugs me. Heard of too many people getting hung up in something due to them.
Adam, Scammers are trolling your site and using your name and likeness. Look at their reply to my previous comment to you.
Way to get those guys back in business!!!! Makes a dependable Machine Shop
desperate longshot here! i am looking for a spindle return spring for a kitchen and wade radial arm drill. model B24. cant get one here in the UK. can any Yank help out?
Really enjoy seeing the end product. That’s a nice surprise. Great video as always.
Sure got their moneys worth out of that shaft...
You make it look so easy to make a replacement part. I love to watch you videos
When you're checking the keyway fits with the gauge pins, the slots have burrs on them. Won't that affect the feel of the pin fit ???
This is a common thing. Yes because all they care about is money, until it breaks down, then they start asking questions.
I’m sure you could have fixed the old shaft with a little flame welding buildup. 😉
The old Monarch and Do-All are jealous now that you've been playing with those brandy-new machines at the other shop. They wanted to show you they could still save the day for the county.
Wow! That shake & vibe (shuck & jive?) at 21:00 was disorienting
Pure destruction on that 2nd roller drum!!! Looks similar to a conveyer belt roller drum.
Something that has always driven me crazy watching you lathe jobs with shafts; how the heck do you know how much you need to take off to set the overall length when it is in the machine??? I never see you measure anything.
I guarantee you he has his methods. I doubt much gets brought back to his shop for something he did.
That's because measuring makes for poor video.
I would wager that he's studied the analytics on his videos and found people skip over 5 minutes of caliper/micrometer/tape measure footage and only watch the machine operation.
It took far longer to machine those parts then the video shows. Setup time eats up a lot of time. He can’t show every second or people wouldn’t watch. I can assure you he made plenty of measurements.
Measure OD of stock.
Touch tool off on stock.
Zero digital readout.
Calculate how much to take off.
Set machine to that cutting depth on digital readout and make cut.
Heavy roughing cuts then one final pass to smooth and bring to exact dimension.
@@CleaveMountaineering And how exactly does your comment equate to the question asked? He wanted to know how you get to the desired over all “length”.
Just curious, most times 1045 is used for shafts. Why was this the material chosen?

I'm curious if the radius tool used in this presentation has any rake. Would that help with the chatter issue?
Imagine changing it out before it breaks? Ha! My old boss and I had it out over shutdowns.
He wanted a "Slowdown" whatever the hell that is. I told him there are two kinds of shutdowns...
Planned, and unplanned. He never did like me..... His loss...
Yeah, I HATED bosses like that! Had one that would always walk through the production area muttering "Faster, faster, faster". Now I have two Mechanical Engineering degrees and was working a temp gig there. Only took it because it was in the Industrial Park five minutes away from my house! I finally got tired of it and asked him: "Do you want it done fast, or do you want it done right"? He said: "Both"! I said: " So you want it done "half fast" (say that quickly) and "half right"? Never had to deal with that kind of crap before. I eventually said F it and quit. I am SO glad I retired!
I enjoy this type of channel, i dont like e beggers.... Looks like a billed at 250$... What you think?
If the bearings get greased regularly and bolts check for tightness rollers should last a long time. It's the bearing salesman telling the plant manager that you don't have to grease sealed bearings or you can over grease sealed bearings....I'm like what??? No you can't! Grease the bearings every morning. Push out the old until you see new. The bearings will last a lifetime. Why wouldn't they they don't have a load on them hardly at all. The conveyor will wear the can down in about 10-12000 hours in Sandy conditions. Them rollers haven't been maintenance. Ever!
If that's for the sewage works, get it done otherwise you will be knee deep in the doo-doos!!
When your power tapping like that are you letting the tap pull the tail stock forward or are you turning the tail stock wheel to advance the tap as the chuck is spinning?
