Отличная работа! Автору ещё остаётся приобрести хонинговальный станок, для более точной доводки отверстий. Хотел спросить, как осуществлялась сборка, есть схема для установки уплотнительных элементов?
I'm facing my demise down a very short barrel and as a result, spend a majority of my life bedridden. Most of what I do to pass the time is watch UA-cam and play on my PS4, (only because I can't afford a PS5 :) ). I could sit and watch you work all day. The skill, accuracy to detail and craftsmanship you put into your projects, I find very enjoyable, relaxing and a delight to watch. I'm very happy I found your channel. Your staffy is cute as a button too. Such a happy little one. You keep putting out this great content and I'll continue watching for as long as I can. Thanks for the distraction and the laughs :)
Before I found this channel, I had no idea Staffies could purr like cats! That pupper is beyond adorable. I hope your remaining time is filled with grunty-happy puppers and excellent machining videos, and all the other things that give you a bit of joy! :)
I have known people who if given a rubber hammer and a 200 pound anvil and left alone for 2 hours they would destroy that anvil. Handle with care indeed!
You’ve obviously never had a knuckle dragging steering wheel attendant AKA truck “driver” dog a chain down over a length of precision finished/ground 4140. Yeah I know this was only a short piece but the lack of GAF/brains in the transport industry is endemic. Try explaining to a customer that the length of hollow bar you have been waiting months for to finish their job has been turned into a banana by a moron with a 5 t forklift and a pallet full of 200 L drums. At least with a “fragile” wrapping you have some chance of winning the inevitable argument with the office at the transport company.
Friend, whatever you're charging for a job isn't enough. Care, detail, and quality are beyond standard. Great worknas always. I hope your customers recognize that.
@@Svendrys and it will last exactly 2 weeks, 3 days and 2.5 hours. I once saw an Caterpillar D8 Engine rebuild, after it literally exploded with a big hole in the engine block, done in India on the street, on the sandy, dusty ground. In the end they put in some sealings or smth (I think it was around the crankshaft, the part that connects the cylinders to the crankshaft or smth) that should provide lubrication, and they put them in in the wrong way, so the oil won't be able to get in it like it should and its obvious what will happen soon to this "rebuild" engine.. and I don't want to know how much sand and dust got into the engine. And obviously they poured all the engine liquids on the street like it was water..
A lot of shops would have buffed it a bit then put the old piston back in, he rebuilt it from scratch. Both the assembly techniques used and materials used were better than factory.
I was a job shop machinist for forty years. Really appreciate the professionalism you have. It’s Almost a dying art. I miss but don’t miss all the work. Some people think it’s easy but we know it’s not. Although at first I wish I would have paid more attention in math class. Love your videos.
i agree; have family that has worked for decades; my brother did parts for eyes surgery, then parts on special glass for measuring depths in the sea, now for over 2 decades doing Spyderco knives, moved from califonia to colorado, factory across for the coors factory; try those great knives; another uncle worked doing parts for military helicopters; they enjoyed, i do enjoy wood working and this channel a lot;
I spent 40 years trying to help keep the patient alive. Trauma, cardiac arrest, new born babies, children. I truly loved it and I got in trouble for being professional. Doctors don't like the word NO! 😮 Now at 75, just sitting back & waiting. Your show is very eye opening. Makes me appreciate everyone who works & cares! 😎💕👍
That commitment to the thread cutting without running a scratch pass to check thread pitch makes me nervous every time I see it. Congrats for having that amount of courage to commit to it like you do. Once again, fantastic video.
Me as well. Such confidence in machines and edges my customers never had (I was an insert engineer, ceramic, PCBN and carbide, for 25yrs). Perhaps Kurtis is not showing us everything, which is totally understandable. I always recommended a fresh edge, or visual edge inspection in Mantis scope, before doing a finish cut, particularly in big expensive parts like CEE routinely handles. Ouch, accidents, unpredictable, happen and bite big $$. Love the vids, thanks to folks at CEE... and yes, more Homeless! :)
scratch passes are a great way to pad the machine hours .....ERM I MEAN , to make sure everything is gong well . Definitely not a way to scam people out of a few more of their hard earned currency . But in a high volume shop where threads are cut every day you learn to just trust your machine and your instinct . Not looking for a fight , just making a joke , nothing wrong with making a scratch pass if it makes you comfortable .
It’s 17 year old Kurtis with a “Stash” 🥰😍❤️ absolutely beautiful work on the Barrel in the last video Sir. It’s so satisfying to see someone who knows exactly what he’s doing go about his/her {Karen the producer/director is the real boss} job. Please hug homeless for me 🥰
Absolutely fascinating to watch! Brings back memories of starting out in a machine shop at the start of my engineering apprenticeship exactly 45 years ago! And makes me want to go back there and learn it all again! 😆 Love the use of the press as a spare pair of hands!
who ever does the videoing deserves more than a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates. it's excellent work. as to the machining work, tbh it's scary how skilled your work is just love it all
I know that it takes an incredible amount of additional work to shoot and edit each of these well done episodes. Thank you for doing it. CEE is in my top 5 channels to follow. I am continually pleased to see both the skills you apply and the depth of experience you have with the equipment you repair and reconstruct critical components for.
As somebody with no experience in large hydraulics like this, I really appreciated you showing us the reassembly of the piston seals - *thanks heaps!* It's absolutely incredible how much pressure and force those tiny little things can withstand, day after day, with some gorilla operator bashing the living sh!t out of the machine. We actually had sun today in Sydney... so strange to get a change from rain!
we have had to change seals on our 2000 vertical compression press. 36 inch bore x 60 inch stroke. 914 mm bore x 1500 mm stroke. first pull the slide and cylinder . it weighs 50 tons . pull cylinder apart vertically with a 30 ton crane. piston seals and guide rings cost 25k. cylinder works upside down . the rod stays stationary and the external housing moves up and down. this gives less deflection to the press platen. makes it very difficult to change seals. seals last about 5 years cause the platen gets around 100 C since the mold under it is 160C.
When thinking of pressure, always remember that PSI is pounds per square inch. If you have high pressure but not that many square inches (of acting surface area), you have a low force :) I feel like PSI is the more intuitive unit here because it spells out what it is. It of course applies to bars or pascals or whatever too :)
I've been watching your videos for a month or two now (watching old ones when I need a fix) & you make it look so easy I'm pretty sure even I could do it. All I'm needing in the shop, machines, & the skills that you have. Thank you for making this videos they are great.
I am a retired pencil pusher who started as an Industrial Engineer out of college and ended up in Real Estate and Development but I really enjoy your skill and ability to make and fix things I have always loved as a kid, heavy equipment. Happy New Year!
Watching Curtis do his job makes me appreciate all the hard work it takes to make precision parts that are required for today's machinery. I think about all the background work they have to do in order to make a part right (materials, dimensions, tools required) the first time. Mistakes can be expensive and catastrophic. It's a complicated and necessary Dirty Job. Well done to them both. 😀🍻🥓&🐕
As an old bloke who’s been having a bit of fun turning little bits of brass and aluminium on a micro lathe, I’ve been really enjoying watching how all this BIG stuff is done, and with all the same point zero somethingth of a mm precision I’m getting used to. And it’s so satisfying to see something get fixed by machining new parts instead of just chucking it out and buying off the shelf replacements.
Mate the rubber seal on the piston at the bloopers had me howling, I knew it happened even before I got to the bloopers, so when you started swearing at it I actually lost it. Top stuff man you're a machine
It’s so satisfying to watch someone who really takes pride in their work amd truly gives a fuck about quality, regardless of who is watching. Fantastic work CEE
Kurtis, Excellent machining video. I love your precision movements. You make inserting all the o-rings and seals look so easy. I know it isn't because I've done three or four sets. The three of you make an excellent team. Well done, Lasses, Laddies, and pup!!
Curious if Karen has any schooling in video production because her editing skills are top notch, on par with anything you see on tv. Really enjoy the work you two put into making these videos, with the info that is included and so on. Makes someone like me with no engineering experience whatsoever understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. Look forward to your videos every week.
The last couple minutes are always my favorite. Anyone that takes pride in their work speaks the same way when they're concentrating or dealing with a headache. I love it.
Honestly, I like that you just speak freely and honestly without trying to talk to put yourself on a higher level, but I have a lot of honest respect that you are so damn proud of your work that you’ll spend your own money and time to get the job done to what you know is superior quality work, that’s how I was raised and how my uncle does it too. That’s nearly a forgotten thing anymore.
Kurtis,although I’ve never been a machinist I look forward to every single video you release. You are a true master craftsman. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment and showing how things are made in the machine shop.
To się nazywa profesjonalizm w każdym momencie! Perfektna praca i znajomość tematu a ponadto bezpieczeństwo i kultura pracy. Aż miło popatrzeć - brawo!! Pozdrawiam z Europy - z Polski.

My week is like a hydraulic piston. Under pressure all the time, always going back and forth, bearing this load or that, and I come out of it fucking munted... until CEE fixes me up again. Cheers mates
Brings back memories of when I was a storeman purchasing officer forklift driver in a factory buying parts for the machine shop and the welders etc. I never got to watch what happened in the machine shop much, it all still looks like home to me and I am fascinated by all the detail you go to, and your wife's videoing as well. And it's ALL Aussie. Top marks to you both!!!!!!!! Well done indeed!!!!
Clear, concise and well worth watching (ex Brit Army engineer, who worked on hydraulic buffers and recuperation systems in large artillery and Chieftain Tanks). Liked and subscribed.
I have been watching your videos for a while now, inspired me to buy my own lathe and start practicing, gets delivered at the end of next month, chip on precision machining bloke 👍🏼
@@VxRussell I will back up that comment about taking care around a lathe. If a drill press can scalp a person with long hair in seconds, a lathe can do a lot of damage to a person in seconds as well plus there is a lot more torque behind a lathe than a drill press. Standard Workshop Safety Rules apply plus always pull the chuck key out and pop it into a holder before you hit the go switch!
Dear Curtis, I am constantly impressed at how despite working with large chunks of steel that you take such care with the work and your tools by handling them gently. In another profession you would have made a great surgeon. Thanks for sharing.
A man who treats customers request and parts as though they were his own. A part thanks been dropped or dinged may need a face to be remachined or, horror, remade. Sorry for the banana dimensions, but a ounce of prevention save a a punt or two of work.
I'm finally watching this after a full weekend doing other stuff. Great video as always, it looks like that cylinder will (hopefully) last a LONG while! Watching channels like this, car repair ones, etc, make me HOPE that the engineers designing the equipment and the people writing the repair and maintenance manuals will take notes. I've got a friend who works as a Hydraulic Systems Engineering Project Lead for Caterpillar in their Tucson, AZ Proving Grounds. Maybe he should see some of the repairs you deal with!
It's so awesome to watch you patiently do all that machining. I am a industrial mechanic myself, and my stepfather is an aussie. Thanks for the awesome videos
Gday Kurtis and Karen, the piston turned out perfect, there’s was quite a few features to machine in, I think the customer might be stripping more then just the cylinder valves looking at how much damage there was, have a great Easter and enjoy the long weekend mate, Cheers
Hey Matty yeah I reckon you're right mate and hope they give the system a good clean, glad you liked the finished result. We're looking forward to some family time over the Easter weekend hope yours is a good one too mate. Cheers Kurtis & Karen
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Доброго времени суток! Скажите, а почему вы не выставляете режимы резания, при которых стружколом гарантированно выполняет свою работу? Очень много кадров, в которых стружка вьётся и наматывается либо на патрон, либо на деталь, либо на инструмент. Я имею ввиду именно черновые режимы. Так-же, было бы интересно узнать, какой именно материал сейчас обрабатывали. Со стороны похоже на нержавейку, но стружка синеет, потому к нержавеющим сталям я заготовку отнести не могу. Но это и не углеродистая сталь, по звукам, которые говорят о большой нагрузке, материал похож на высоко легированную сталь. Возможно имеется термообработка до 30-32 HRC, но обычно термоулучшение делается после сверления. У нас в россии вышеперечисленными свойствами отличаются 30хгса, 40х13, х12мф и подобные легированные стали. Среди европейских материалов я немного не разбираюсь, потому очень интересно!
I love how brutally honest you are, because all this experience and high quality work doesn't mean that accidents don't happen!!! 100% respect for that and your work gets better and better going through all Ur videos from scratch then coming to a point were I'm waiting for new one to come our weird hahaha !! BTW Ur bloopers at the end are way better than Jackie Chan and Chris tuckers in rush hours 🤣🤣
Watching Kurtis making that piston, I was remembering the expression "measure twice, cut once". If I was making that part, I'd measure like 432 times before making the next cut!😆I make small parts on my mini-lathe for my business and I am an amateur. I hate when I'm like 80% done making a part, then make a mistake during the final cuts and having to start all over again! In Kurtis's case, it would be very expensive to make a mistake that ruins the piston when almost done making it. Clearly every newish machinist has a list of expensive parts they screwed up while trying to make it. Luckily my small parts are not much in material or time. Good job on the beautiful part, excellent filming and editing.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I look forward every Friday to watch your videos! Kurtis never disappoints either, and Karen's video work is always outstanding! My favourite Safety Officer is always fun to watch, too. :)
A little tip if u put a copper wire In between ur thread tester and ur piston it won’t get stuck i don’t know if that was a problem for u but I have used that trick on other stuff and wanted to share hope it works for u too. Love the videos creep up the great work I’ve learned so much ❤
Great videos mate absolutely love them very helpful for me. I can see how much time and effort goes into 1:the machining and 2:the documentation of it. Keep up the good work man!
Not sure if you tried this yet, but I use to put the seals in hot oil for about 15-20 seconds. I used a wire hanger to hang them in the oil. It seemed to make them easier to stretch over the pistons for me. I would also put a large hose clamp around those pressure seals on the piston just tight enough to squeeze it into place and let it stay on until I got ready to install the rod into the barrel. It reduced the number of spicy words during reassembly a good bit.
Just found your channel as an ex forklift engineer I had a bit of experience of what you do but you are an expert sir and also the quality of the videos is also excellent WOW.Mick from England
Fantastic editing for the lathe scenes Karen loved the slow mo. Kurtis, I know you chose to make a profession from something you tinkered with in a garage. Do you ever look at what you make and say frek that looks good? I know I look at it and wish I could have that skill. 👍👍👍
Cute! Love how fast that sweat jar filled up! I have to ask…how do you spin up an edge finder at 3k rpm in reverse? I don’t think they are ever used that fast in forward or reverse.
Always wondered how they looked inside the cylinder. Nice work, mate! I know the next guy will be impressed that you obviously took pride in your work! You're fast and exact too! Kudo's brother!
Great tip on those threaded mandrels will start making them now.not only time savers they increase production and cut set up time exponentially and also leave plenty of room and avoid crashes.
I’m retired from industrial maintenance, and I am still amazed that managers still don’t realize that a good preventative maintenance program will pay for its self. But most managers have no idea of how to set one up, or how to keep one running. Instead they look at preventive maintenance as a nucince! They believe that preventive maintenance is when maintenance prevents you from running production.
PM is one of the easiest programs to set up. Most machine manufacturers make a service manual that has PM in it. He’ll the Army has a comprehensive PM program that would be simple to implement in any environment.
Extremely impressive, as always, but this job was exceptionally satisfying as a viewer to be able to see the entire assembly come into the shop, be taken apart, and witness the raw carnage with our own eyes. All the separate remanufacturing processes culminated in a rare treat where we not only got to watch it all go back together into a complete and ready for use unit, but we actually got to see it function. It's one thing to know it turned out to be all the right sizes in all the right places, but it's quite another to get that visceral experience of watching it do the thing it does as an irrefutable confirmation of a job well done. Great video!
Perfect, settling in for the night with one of the few channels I really look forward to. Homeless was in good form at the star of the video too, that dog is awesome
I service bicycles and bike suspension for a living, they are much smaller and finer parts, a lot of them are plastic. When i saw you using screwdriver for mounting the seal my hearth jumped for a sec :D Nice work, You just earned new subscriber!
We used to drill titanium bar with a 3 inch drill. We made it work by putting two slots in one flute and one slot in the other flute to make a chip breaker drill. Made the chips easier to clear and dropped the horsepower used by the lathe quite a bit.
Love your work, top notch and efficiency I could only dream of. Confidence like that only comes from many years experience of doing it right (withy some ...R&D? in between I'm sure). Learning some very nifty tricks. 👌
Good job, you are really a master with these machines. And I think the swearing and cursing is very helpful in the proces. :) Greeting and good morning from Denmark. 9am Have a happy easter in OZ.
Not knowing jack about what you do makes it so amazing to watch the skill and knowledge you have. You make it easy to follow each job you take on and be able to watch both your success and failures and how you get to the final finish. Oh, and adding your great dog to your videos is another reason I love them. Stay safe and healthy.
@@gunner4544 Nope... He wouldn't have needed to change his shorts because that thing would have come apart so fast, he wouldn't have had time to load his shorts... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
If you ever had couriers handle stuff that label is not much use, they are very likely to drop it, break it and lose it, and I have seen them take a block of steel like that and drive a forklift tine thorugh it. Even the cylinder and rod they can break them, unless you go really overkill and put them in a crate made from heavy planks, which delivery to Australia would snarl up in customs for a month, for fumigation, because it is "biological material", and has to be pathogen free.
Great job! Makes me homesick for the machine shop! I always wondered how they expected to prevent this damage on these heavy long cylinders laying horizontal. Huge amounts of leverage on the piston at full stroke. A little wear and even more angle under full pressure, self feeding cycle it seems! Very professional and proud of your work! A true craftsman!
Perfect editing on the outtakes. I love the back and forth to the swear jar... You guys are great. You do fantastic work and I hope you have a peaceful weekend and a Happy Easter.
Price is not the issue, but that likely a new one will be a 3 month wait for it to be delivered, as sending by sea freight. Airfreight would be incredibly expensive, from the mass alone around $5k, just in the freight cost, for getting it there same week. Kurtis remaking the cylinder likely only a little less than ordering new, but took less than 2 weeks for it to be back up and running, while ordering new you would still be at the "please make your payment into our bank account, and we will wait for it to clear" stage, with them only then starting the warehouse to pick it and ship it.
@@ronliebermann That's effectively what Kurtis did in this case. The primary thing is making sure it's done by a shop that knows the mining equipment and the correct specs for everything.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Sometimes I go to the outtakes first...it shows the problems, difficulties and frustrations of working the metal and producing the video. Then...when I watch the video all the way through, I have a small inkling of what happened behind the scenes.
37 year machinist. Last 22 years repairing industrial pumps. Great job on the repair and the video. I got a laugh out of your bearing in your milling machine yet still running it. I do the same on some of my machines. So do our customers. Run it til the repair has to be made. Makes for more machine labor in the long run.
Have a Good Friday and Happy Easter to Kurtis and Karen and safety officer and pass on this info to Carl for me, you three should take a well needed break for Easter and enjoy yourselves maybe some nice lamb rack ribs on the bbq and a cold beer 🍺 Continued Success Fabrizio
I appreciate your comments toward the end of settling on the grub screw method. Bad design, but good to make it serviceable for the next bloke. Great job Curtis, you are very talented.
One of the primary reasons I respect your channel is that when you do a 2 part video it is because the work requires to be broken up into parts for what I see as logical reasons. Many popular channels, one in particular started off well and has devolved into a product placement multi part (3,4 parts of something you'd do in 1) setting. What pushed me over the edge is I noticed his wife's camera work suddenly became a facsimile of your wife's. No BS she is a talented camera/editing person I'm waiting for a dog to show up lol. Much respect, thanks for the content and greetings from the NJ Bayshore. Pardon the rant my vagina hurts. today (sarcasm)
@@injuredplea There is one machining channel that I blocked a few years ago(it is as if the channel doesn't even exist when I watch youtube on my devices).....it had the number 79 in it and was just extremely boring to me, in a bad way. I don't mind Karl's boring videos and Karen is great at capturing the story in a very professional way and then adding in the human element to show that they are normal people just like the viewer.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Just takes a single bump to make that massive block of metal go from near perfect, better than factory, to scrap it and start again. Guess the operator figures CEE rates are a lot more than his in house rates to paint, and likely he is already busy removing all the hydraulic lines and fittings to clean the glitter and chunks out of them. Operator can reflect on his idiotic ignoring of the noise by painting all the yellow back on the steel in that time.

thats the info for the person handling it, not the pice of steel :D
It’s a trap to catch crappy delivery drivers when they drop kick it into the van and break their toes 😁

You’ve obviously never had a knuckle dragging steering wheel attendant AKA truck “driver” dog a chain down over a length of precision finished/ground 4140. Yeah I know this was only a short piece but the lack of GAF/brains in the transport industry is endemic.

Chris that's why he makes the big bucks.
As somebody with no experience in large hydraulics like this, I really appreciated you showing us the reassembly of the piston seals - *thanks heaps!* It's absolutely incredible how much pressure and force those tiny little things can withstand, day after day, with some gorilla operator bashing the living sh!t out of the machine.
We actually had sun today in Sydney... so strange to get a change from rain!
we have had to change seals on our 2000 vertical compression press. 36 inch bore x 60 inch stroke. 914 mm bore x 1500 mm stroke. first pull the slide and cylinder . it weighs 50 tons . pull cylinder apart vertically with a 30 ton crane. piston seals and guide rings cost 25k. cylinder works upside down . the rod stays stationary and the external housing moves up and down. this gives less deflection to the press platen. makes it very difficult to change seals. seals last about 5 years cause the platen gets around 100 C since the mold under it is 160C.
"with some gorilla operator bashing the living sh!t out of the machine" ........Bahhaaaaaaaaa.
When thinking of pressure, always remember that PSI is pounds per square inch. If you have high pressure but not that many square inches (of acting surface area), you have a low force :)
I feel like PSI is the more intuitive unit here because it spells out what it is. It of course applies to bars or pascals or whatever too :)
As somebody with experience in large hydraulics, this is still awesome because I never see the inside of the cylinders and I'm not a machinist.
Careful there is an Heavy Equipment hire/Lease company named after the animal, here in Australia.
Please don't get them upset.
I've been watching your videos for a month or two now (watching old ones when I need a fix) & you make it look so easy I'm pretty sure even I could do it. All I'm needing in the shop, machines, & the skills that you have. Thank you for making this videos they are great.
I am a retired pencil pusher who started as an Industrial Engineer out of college and ended up in Real Estate and Development but I really enjoy your skill and ability to make and fix things I have always loved as a kid, heavy equipment. Happy New Year!
I love how totally confident and competant you are.
Watching Curtis do his job makes me appreciate all the hard work it takes to make precision parts that are required for today's machinery. I think about all the background work they have to do in order to make a part right (materials, dimensions, tools required) the first time. Mistakes can be expensive and catastrophic. It's a complicated and necessary Dirty Job.
Well done to them both. 😀🍻🥓&🐕
As an old bloke who’s been having a bit of fun turning little bits of brass and aluminium on a micro lathe, I’ve been really enjoying watching how all this BIG stuff is done, and with all the same point zero somethingth of a mm precision I’m getting used to. And it’s so satisfying to see something get fixed by machining new parts instead of just chucking it out and buying off the shelf replacements.
Mate the rubber seal on the piston at the bloopers had me howling, I knew it happened even before I got to the bloopers, so when you started swearing at it I actually lost it. Top stuff man you're a machine
It’s so satisfying to watch someone who really takes pride in their work amd truly gives a fuck about quality, regardless of who is watching. Fantastic work CEE
I was a machinist years ago. I could not stop watching, very satisfying before and after. Thank you for your knowledge and attention to detail.
Hats off, the engineering, machining, and tolerances you work to are absolutely incredible mate. The amount of work that goes into something!
Kurtis, Excellent machining video. I love your precision movements. You make inserting all the o-rings and seals look so easy. I know it isn't because I've done three or four sets.
The three of you make an excellent team. Well done, Lasses, Laddies, and pup!!
Curious if Karen has any schooling in video production because her editing skills are top notch, on par with anything you see on tv. Really enjoy the work you two put into making these videos, with the info that is included and so on. Makes someone like me with no engineering experience whatsoever understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. Look forward to your videos every week.
Cutting Edge Video.
The last couple minutes are always my favorite.
Anyone that takes pride in their work speaks the same way when they're concentrating or dealing with a headache.
I love it.
Honestly, I like that you just speak freely and honestly without trying to talk to put yourself on a higher level, but I have a lot of honest respect that you are so damn proud of your work that you’ll spend your own money and time to get the job done to what you know is superior quality work, that’s how I was raised and how my uncle does it too. That’s nearly a forgotten thing anymore.
Kurtis,although I’ve never been a machinist I look forward to every single video you release. You are a true master craftsman. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment and showing how things are made in the machine shop.

My week is like a hydraulic piston. Under pressure all the time, always going back and forth, bearing this load or that, and I come out of it fucking munted... until CEE fixes me up again. Cheers mates
Hope you get a rest over the weekend mate
I do not think anybody ever summarized better what I love about Kurtis' and Karen's channel. You are speaking my mind!
Brings back memories of when I was a storeman purchasing officer forklift driver in a factory buying parts for the machine shop and the welders etc. I never got to watch what happened in the machine shop much, it all still looks like home to me and I am fascinated by all the detail you go to, and your wife's videoing as well. And it's ALL Aussie. Top marks to you both!!!!!!!! Well done indeed!!!!
Clear, concise and well worth watching (ex Brit Army engineer, who worked on hydraulic buffers and recuperation systems in large artillery and Chieftain Tanks).
Liked and subscribed.
I have been watching your videos for a while now, inspired me to buy my own lathe and start practicing, gets delivered at the end of next month, chip on precision machining bloke 👍🏼
Hell yeah mate good for you, what lathe did you get for yourself? 😎👊
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Colchester Master 2500, good size to learn on and nothing too expensive incase I break it, looking forward to it.
@@VxRussell quality lathe
Good on ya mate, hope that you get great enjoyment from using it, but, it is not a toy,it can hurt or worse still,so take care 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@VxRussell I will back up that comment about taking care around a lathe. If a drill press can scalp a person with long hair in seconds, a lathe can do a lot of damage to a person in seconds as well plus there is a lot more torque behind a lathe than a drill press. Standard Workshop Safety Rules apply plus always pull the chuck key out and pop it into a holder before you hit the go switch!
Dear Curtis, I am constantly impressed at how despite working with large chunks of steel that you take such care with the work and your tools by handling them gently. In another profession you would have made a great surgeon. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
A man who treats customers request and parts as though they were his own. A part thanks been dropped or dinged may need a face to be remachined or, horror, remade.
Sorry for the banana dimensions, but a ounce of prevention save a a punt or two of work.
After roughly 37 minutes I was thinking you were an absolute professional, but after the full 40 minutes I see you're an absolute legend too.
Thanks for the subtitles btw, it's always much appreciated by those using them :)
So much machining and such a good effect. And all of this perfectly filmed. It's a pleasure to watch the work of both of you.
The voice over at 15:30 was a nice touch. Keep up the good work you 3!
thanks Karen made me do it 😂
Don't forget the birds
I'm finally watching this after a full weekend doing other stuff. Great video as always, it looks like that cylinder will (hopefully) last a LONG while!
Watching channels like this, car repair ones, etc, make me HOPE that the engineers designing the equipment and the people writing the repair and maintenance manuals will take notes. I've got a friend who works as a Hydraulic Systems Engineering Project Lead for Caterpillar in their Tucson, AZ Proving Grounds. Maybe he should see some of the repairs you deal with!
I enjoy watching you do this and do it right without cutting corners. This will keep your customers coming back.
It's so awesome to watch you patiently do all that machining. I am a industrial mechanic myself, and my stepfather is an aussie. Thanks for the awesome videos
Gday Kurtis and Karen, the piston turned out perfect, there’s was quite a few features to machine in, I think the customer might be stripping more then just the cylinder valves looking at how much damage there was, have a great Easter and enjoy the long weekend mate, Cheers
Hey Matty yeah I reckon you're right mate and hope they give the system a good clean, glad you liked the finished result. We're looking forward to some family time over the Easter weekend hope yours is a good one too mate. Cheers Kurtis & Karen
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Доброго времени суток! Скажите, а почему вы не выставляете режимы резания, при которых стружколом гарантированно выполняет свою работу? Очень много кадров, в которых стружка вьётся и наматывается либо на патрон, либо на деталь, либо на инструмент. Я имею ввиду именно черновые режимы. Так-же, было бы интересно узнать, какой именно материал сейчас обрабатывали. Со стороны похоже на нержавейку, но стружка синеет, потому к нержавеющим сталям я заготовку отнести не могу. Но это и не углеродистая сталь, по звукам, которые говорят о большой нагрузке, материал похож на высоко легированную сталь. Возможно имеется термообработка до 30-32 HRC, но обычно термоулучшение делается после сверления. У нас в россии вышеперечисленными свойствами отличаются 30хгса, 40х13, х12мф и подобные легированные стали. Среди европейских материалов я немного не разбираюсь, потому очень интересно!
I love how brutally honest you are, because all this experience and high quality work doesn't mean that accidents don't happen!!! 100% respect for that and your work gets better and better going through all Ur videos from scratch then coming to a point were I'm waiting for new one to come our weird hahaha !! BTW Ur bloopers at the end are way better than Jackie Chan and Chris tuckers in rush hours 🤣🤣
Watching Kurtis making that piston, I was remembering the expression "measure twice, cut once". If I was making that part, I'd measure like 432 times before making the next cut!😆I make small parts on my mini-lathe for my business and I am an amateur. I hate when I'm like 80% done making a part, then make a mistake during the final cuts and having to start all over again! In Kurtis's case, it would be very expensive to make a mistake that ruins the piston when almost done making it. Clearly every newish machinist has a list of expensive parts they screwed up while trying to make it. Luckily my small parts are not much in material or time.
Good job on the beautiful part, excellent filming and editing.
I enjoy watching this fellow so much , he has so much integrity and direct to
The Kurtis Mantra - proper planning, clever tooling, attention to detail and pride in your work! This project was brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
I like that you list inserts, rpm’s and feed rates on your turning video’s. Great video’s, thank you for them.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I look forward every Friday to watch your videos! Kurtis never disappoints either, and Karen's video work is always outstanding! My favourite Safety Officer is always fun to watch, too. :)
As someone who has 0 knowladge about the work you do it's really entertaining to watch either way.
Thanks for watching
A little tip if u put a copper wire In between ur thread tester and ur piston it won’t get stuck i don’t know if that was a problem for u but I have used that trick on other stuff and wanted to share hope it works for u too. Love the videos creep up the great work I’ve learned so much ❤
Not very many people impress me with their knowledge or abilities but you sir do.
Absolutely outstanding beautiful work guy. Can't believe how messed up that cylinder in that piston were man
Cheers mate!
Brilliant as always, well done Kurtis and Karen, Hello from Ireland 👍
Hey mate!
Great videos mate absolutely love them very helpful for me. I can see how much time and effort goes into 1:the machining and 2:the documentation of it. Keep up the good work man!
Not sure if you tried this yet, but I use to put the seals in hot oil for about 15-20 seconds. I used a wire hanger to hang them in the oil. It seemed to make them easier to stretch over the pistons for me. I would also put a large hose clamp around those pressure seals on the piston just tight enough to squeeze it into place and let it stay on until I got ready to install the rod into the barrel. It reduced the number of spicy words during reassembly a good bit.
Just found your channel as an ex forklift engineer I had a bit of experience of what you do but you are an expert sir and also the quality of the videos is also excellent WOW.Mick from England
Fantastic editing for the lathe scenes Karen loved the slow mo. Kurtis, I know you chose to make a profession from something you tinkered with in a garage. Do you ever look at what you make and say frek that looks good? I know I look at it and wish I could have that skill. 👍👍👍
hey mate thanks for saying so, it's definitely satisfying work and some days I do think that 🤣
What ! You will be starting a family over the weekend
Cute! Love how fast that sweat jar filled up!
I have to ask…how do you spin up an edge finder at 3k rpm in reverse? I don’t think they are ever used that fast in forward or reverse.
haha good question, rookie mistake forgot to change from High to Low after changing out a tool
And no "out take" from the "event"!! Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall. That's why the wear jar was full. 😇
I too would LOVE to see the out take of the edge finder whizzing past a Space-X launched satellite...
Wouldn't even have the time to shout 'eyeballs'
@@trevorvanbremen4718 engage safety squints.
@@masheroz Can 'safety third' squints decelerate a few grams of mass moving at a significant fraction of light speed?
Always wondered how they looked inside the cylinder. Nice work, mate! I know the next guy will be impressed that you obviously took pride in your work! You're fast and exact too! Kudo's brother!
Another work of art from Curtis And I am always impressed that you "just know" what seal part goes where!
Thank you for all your excellent content. I was never in your field (retired now) but cannot stop watching this channel.
Great tip on those threaded mandrels will start making them now.not only time savers they increase production and cut set up time exponentially and
also leave plenty of room and avoid crashes.
I’m retired from industrial maintenance, and I am still amazed that managers still don’t realize that a good preventative maintenance program will pay for its self. But most managers have no idea of how to set one up, or how to keep one running. Instead they look at preventive maintenance as a nucince! They believe that preventive maintenance is when maintenance prevents you from running production.
PM is one of the easiest programs to set up. Most machine manufacturers make a service manual that has PM in it. He’ll the Army has a comprehensive PM program that would be simple to implement in any environment.
Quality work young man and so is the video so top marks to all!
Thanks Jon have a good weekend
Extremely impressive, as always, but this job was exceptionally satisfying as a viewer to be able to see the entire assembly come into the shop, be taken apart, and witness the raw carnage with our own eyes. All the separate remanufacturing processes culminated in a rare treat where we not only got to watch it all go back together into a complete and ready for use unit, but we actually got to see it function. It's one thing to know it turned out to be all the right sizes in all the right places, but it's quite another to get that visceral experience of watching it do the thing it does as an irrefutable confirmation of a job well done.
Great video!
I’ve been machining for 20 years and Kurtis is the best I’ve seen with Abom a close second
Thanks mate appreciate it
Have a good weekend!! A few hours left on my volvo 460 excavator and it's weekend here to and I drink 1 on you! Cheers mate 🍺 greetings from Holland.
Sounds good mate enjoy 😎👍🍻
Perfect, settling in for the night with one of the few channels I really look forward to. Homeless was in good form at the star of the video too, that dog is awesome
Haha cheers mate, glad it is enjoyed and Homey sure knows how to win all the fans
Well done! Looked a WHOLE lot better than the mess you started with. Swear jar filling up fast! Lol
Cheers mate thanks for always watching
I service bicycles and bike suspension for a living, they are much smaller and finer parts, a lot of them are plastic. When i saw you using screwdriver for mounting the seal my hearth jumped for a sec :D
Nice work, You just earned new subscriber!
We used to drill titanium bar with a 3 inch drill. We made it work by putting two slots in one flute and one slot in the other flute to make a chip breaker drill. Made the chips easier to clear and dropped the horsepower used by the lathe quite a bit.
NICE! That's a major job - not a lot of shops can do all this I suspect.
Love your work, top notch and efficiency I could only dream of. Confidence like that only comes from many years experience of doing it right (withy some ...R&D? in between I'm sure). Learning some very nifty tricks. 👌
thanks for watching mate
Good job, you are really a master with these machines. And I think the swearing and cursing is very helpful in the proces. :)
Greeting and good morning from Denmark. 9am
Have a happy easter in OZ.
Good morning over there, the jobs not done right without a few swear words 😂👍
Yeah, Cioran said if men don't swear they can go mad. 😉
Not knowing jack about what you do makes it so amazing to watch the skill and knowledge you have. You make it easy to follow each job you take on and be able to watch both your success and failures and how you get to the final finish. Oh, and adding your great dog to your videos is another reason I love them. Stay safe and healthy.
Always looking out for the next guy that has to tackle the job. A mark of a professional!
I’m betting the “swear jar” was only half full before the the edge finder when into orbit😂 Nice work as always👍🏼
3000 rpm in reverse = underwear changing moment as it experienced instantaneous disassembly…
I wonder how many times a day they have to empty the jar?
I used to keep 5 or 6 edge finders in my box. I always managed to break them the dumbest way possible lol. Or just plain dumb luck
@@jenksify DAY?
With a Jar that small, you should be asking how many times per HOUR they have to empty it...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
@@gunner4544 Nope...
He wouldn't have needed to change his shorts because that thing would have come apart so fast, he wouldn't have had time to load his shorts...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Thanks for the video - very enjoyable!
BTW - was anyone else amused by the steel blank for the piston being labelled as "fragile"???
lol a few viewers found that amusing
If you ever had couriers handle stuff that label is not much use, they are very likely to drop it, break it and lose it, and I have seen them take a block of steel like that and drive a forklift tine thorugh it. Even the cylinder and rod they can break them, unless you go really overkill and put them in a crate made from heavy planks, which delivery to Australia would snarl up in customs for a month, for fumigation, because it is "biological material", and has to be pathogen free.
Watch videos of delivery personnel!!!
I love how massive steel blocks come wrapped in fragile stickers hahaaa. Great job as always Guy's.
Great job! Makes me homesick for the machine shop! I always wondered how they expected to prevent this damage on these heavy long cylinders laying horizontal. Huge amounts of leverage on the piston at full stroke. A little wear and even more angle under full pressure, self feeding cycle it seems! Very professional and proud of your work! A true craftsman!
The skill of making the 2 holes join up perfectly at the middle is 👏 brilliant
That hunk of metal must be Italian....”fra-gi-le”....🤣 All who gets that reference raise your hand...🙋♂️
You should see the courier drivers here in Australia, balls to the wall they going to get the delivery done ASAP 😂😂😂
I'd raise my hand but I shot my eye out last week.
Perfect editing on the outtakes. I love the back and forth to the swear jar... You guys are great. You do fantastic work and I hope you have a peaceful weekend and a Happy Easter.
Cheers mate glad that was enjoyed and you have a good Easter too 😎👍
One of the most un-fragile objects I have seen, labeled as such.
Nice work fella. takes me back to the 70s when i was metal working, thanks for the show.
👍 finally someone is drilling a hole the proper way. Pilot drilling for the web thickness only and not step drilling. Nicely done as always.
What a huge job. There was so much damage and so much work to repair. What would a new one cost? Makes me think.
hey mate if you could find one new piston about $4500-$5K AUD
Price is not the issue, but that likely a new one will be a 3 month wait for it to be delivered, as sending by sea freight. Airfreight would be incredibly expensive, from the mass alone around $5k, just in the freight cost, for getting it there same week. Kurtis remaking the cylinder likely only a little less than ordering new, but took less than 2 weeks for it to be back up and running, while ordering new you would still be at the "please make your payment into our bank account, and we will wait for it to clear" stage, with them only then starting the warehouse to pick it and ship it.
@@ronliebermann That's effectively what Kurtis did in this case. The primary thing is making sure it's done by a shop that knows the mining equipment and the correct specs for everything.
Karen:"Let's get started"
Kurtis: "Let's get chopping"
That's teamwork!
😂😂😂 straight to the out-takes we approve
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Sometimes I go to the outtakes first...it shows the problems, difficulties and frustrations of working the metal and producing the video.
Then...when I watch the video all the way through, I have a small inkling of what happened behind the scenes.

I do the same on some of my machines. So do our customers. Run it til the repair has to be made. Makes for more machine labor in the long run.

Hey mate that sounds bloody good will probably have a couple of days rest, visit family over Easter should be good.
Oh and just joking about Carl if it wasn’t already obvious Kurtis or should I say Carl wink wink hahaha
As complete layman i have a question: do you sharp this big drills, or just buy a new one?
No, they get sharpened, they're very expensive.
can be sharpened until they are worn too far that they don't hold an edge
Did I hear you say " A 2 inch drill"? I thought inches were banned by the Safety Officer. 😉
Safety officer has been distracted with all the gifts lately, slacking off on his duties 🙄😒
No. He has specially made "banana" vernier to measure it with - otherwise Kurtis would not know what size it is. Or maybe not.
Does working around those [four letter word] tools fill the jar any faster than the alternative [six letter word] alternatives?
I appreciate your comments toward the end of settling on the grub screw method. Bad design, but good to make it serviceable for the next bloke. Great job Curtis, you are very talented.
Thanks for showing your “mistakes” and explaining them. I’m learning a lot how machining works.
One of the primary reasons I respect your channel is that when you do a 2 part video it is because the work requires to be broken up into parts for what I see as logical reasons. Many popular channels, one in particular started off well and has devolved into a product placement multi part (3,4 parts of something you'd do in 1) setting. What pushed me over the edge is I noticed his wife's camera work suddenly became a facsimile of your wife's. No BS she is a talented camera/editing person I'm waiting for a dog to show up lol. Much respect, thanks for the content and greetings from the NJ Bayshore. Pardon the rant my vagina hurts. today (sarcasm)
I know just which channel you mean. Karen an Kurtis are gems.
Great comment Mr. Drake. If I'm following correctly, that channel is no longer "da bomb".
@@injuredplea There is one machining channel that I blocked a few years ago(it is as if the channel doesn't even exist when I watch youtube on my devices).....it had the number 79 in it and was just extremely boring to me, in a bad way. I don't mind Karl's boring videos and Karen is great at capturing the story in a very professional way and then adding in the human element to show that they are normal people just like the viewer.
12:15 AM California time. I was ready to hit the pillow. Instead, I grabbed a cold one, and I'm watching part 2 of the cylinder resurrection. Cheers!
Wow what a decision cheers mate hope you enjoy it 😎👊
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Well, was 2 beers, great episode! Brilliant machine work.
Same here in Arizona
I like how a massive lump of metal is wrapped in fragile tape haha
😂👌
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Just takes a single bump to make that massive block of metal go from near perfect, better than factory, to scrap it and start again. Guess the operator figures CEE rates are a lot more than his in house rates to paint, and likely he is already busy removing all the hydraulic lines and fittings to clean the glitter and chunks out of them. Operator can reflect on his idiotic ignoring of the noise by painting all the yellow back on the steel in that time.
I was in this trade some 30 years ago your work is Amazing.Great to watch and to keep learning.
I love it, the way you say it as it is. Honest in every way. You should be proud of yourself for bring the way you are.
