I love these old school training/ info videos..... I swear they use the same narrator for all of them.. But, these videos are simply timeless and informative.
"I swear they use the same narrator for all of them.." This video is yet another showing that is the phenomena that is the Mid-atlantic/Transatlantic accent of the 1930's-1940's. It's a deliberate thing people did in these videos and movies of this time to sound more "uppity" and educated and artificially merge american english and british english accents together in a really weird way. More about this here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
I had to watch some of the video again to hear what you were talking about. Then this came to mind: Up in the air! Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its Superman!
Wonderful designed Machinery, a thing of beauty, great instructional video, I love the old stuff, finishes and smooth shapes so beautiful to look at and see it perform, now its flat boxes and sharp rounded corners, bit like watching a steam Locomotive and comparing to a Diesel, Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for posting,
Not very many of us commenting on this video. So I figure we have it all to ourselves! As soon as the video started I thought of the word "tombstone". I know it was a large angle plate or knee, but sometimes we used to call them tombstones.
I knew a Tool & Die Maker that worked at Lockheed for awhile. He said they had 33 foot diameter vertical lathe. If you were watching it spin and it stopped you started to lean over the other way. Other guys worked at Ladish in South Milwaukee. This was when they were machining the SRB sections for the Shuttle.
those were the good old days before osha made our lives miserable with the safety glasses bullshit. i ran so many different verticals i found the older the better. i dug the bullards that you used your feet on some of the levers. the bigger the better, cause the bosses left you alone, cause the parts were so expensive.
It's amazing how far we've come with machines. The cuts in this video would be about 2 minutes total machining time on a new machine. Not to mention the fire suppression system that is required now to machine Magnesium.
I still run machinery like this at accufab in NC. Couple knee mills, surface grinder, engine lathe etc. I'm a tool maker for a sheet metal fab plant of 150 workers. Never a dull moment lol
You guys at Gleason built some amazing machines. We had Pinion Cutting, Ring Gear Cutting and Revocycles. The cutting tools were just as amazing. I remember Fine Woodworking had an article on your pattern making shop. They were using the same model LeBlondes we had in our tool room.
A very interesting movie. But isn't it better to use the full metric system rather than some weird mix of the imperial system converted into hundredths and thousandths of an inch. However, the metric system is much easier. if you do not believe it, try to quickly subtract 1 1/32 inch from 0.017 inch in memory😉
I've built capital machinery and tooling that has made everything imaginable. With the exception of the failing automotive industry, it's all been SAE standard.
Re learned I’m way ahead of ya been doing manual machinist for 22 years Don’t wanna know cnc Cnc cannot do most repair work and manual machinist can run most all machines lathe ,vtl,horizontal boring mill ,shaper,Bridgeport mill,radial arm drill .... and portable machines in-line boring bars with hydraulic or air powered motors Manual hands can set up all these things and cut them to within .0001 tenths if you watch you heat and stop 1k short then just emery cloth it down to perfection Already manual hands are all retired and dying I had 4 interviews last week I just keep going where they pay the most Another 20 years manual hands will be sought after and paid much more than cnc hands because a manual hand has to learn everything on the job it takes experience to be a manual hand Cnc can be learned from a online course in 3 months Millwright machinist takes years to learn and you never stop learning every job is a learning experience.
Brandon Blount im 17 as of now and have been learning machining since i was 13. a teacher said i needed a 250k loan to succeed! id say metal work is much better than working until 5 years before my death paying off a loan. you wont believe how far brainwashed and mindless the so called "teachers" are
much of one piece and minimal runs are faster and better done in a job shop with manual lathes....In the past Hydraulics were very efficient for doing production runs...........Willie
Relearning? You can drop any 2024 machinist that's worth a damn into a ww2 era shop and they could hold their own with ease. nothing in this video is anything i haven't done before. The hardest part would be the culture shock of how much more dangerous workplaces were back then. That and no shop radio lol
In my experience far too many younger machinists l have seen are lost when it comes to using HSS, Stellite and Brazed Carbide lathe tooling. I admit l loved it when l finally got access to insert tooling. Especially working with tougher alloy steel, tool steels and the harder to machine non ferrous metals. But then l got introduced to an amazing Oil and Air Hardening set of tools. Originally developed by Latrobe Steel for use in Timken Roller Bearings. These are graphite tool steels. Machines like cast iron and has similar chip formation. Minimal distortion in heat treat. O-10 and A-10 iirc. Excellent grinding characteristics too.
Yeah I get it, CNC is better from a manufacturers point of view. But I just weep a lil for the skills and jobs lost from computerized automation. Ah well. Progress.
@@LexLutha I’ll run cnc if I have to, it’s a fun change of pace. I like the Siemans controls. Other than that I work on rather large parts, our Ingersoll is 20’8” between the ways and 13’ under the rail, with 105’ of table. The desire to learn, and not being intimidated by complex stuff is invaluable. I wish we could find some young people who want to do this stuff.
NO TIES! NO LONG HAIR! NO NECKLACES-NECKCHAINS! NOTHING DANGLING FROM YOUR BODY THAT COULD GET WRAPPED AROUND A HIGHSPEED SPINDLE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. THE PROBLEM WITH THESE OLD INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS IS THAT THEY PRE DATE SAFETY FILMS THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE LATER ON TO KEEP YOUNG WORKERS ALIVE. IF YOU EVER SAW THE PICTURE OF A HUMAN SCALP WRAPPED AROUND A SPINDLE YOU'D KNOW WHY I'M SHOUTING AT YOU!
I love these old school training/ info videos.....

I get a kick out of watching these type of video's also. I can almost smell the cutting oils when watching some of these.

+Anna Johnson english english accent you mean! scotish, welsh or irish accent it is not!
@@x2malandyMe too !!!
No matter where you maybe from, you gotta admit…The American military sure as hell produced absolutely first rate training material 👍
Great video. The old ones knew how to instruct and advise how things were done- direct and to the point.

I ran a 48" Bullard and 96" Colburn back in the 60 and early 70's... His Bullard looked new..oh yeah, safety glasses
Notice how he used the snap gauge then recut the last with a finish pass. Yeah the machine works on radius.
And I meant to say these were hand ground tools. Craftsmanship!

3:16
I have an indicator and other tools shown but never knew how to set them up until now. I love these old films.
thanks for preserving this....what America used to be...and may never be again
I've done a little CNC programming, but the bulk of my career was running manual machines like this.
Ran one for 7 years TOS 63 " table was a beast take 3/4 cuts like butter LOL

hed be going much quicker without the cameras!
its also amazing how far the country has fallen off a cliff since back then..........Willie
I worked with guys who had machined aircraft engine parts (P&W R-2800s) that went into F-6-F's and F4-U's. They had tales about machining magnesium.
Used to run tools like this at Gleason Works just before CNC started to take over. You had to keep your wits about you at all times!

Audio cut out towards the end of the video
Precision radius of tool insert
Fascinating!👍
Have you seen the film archives of a series of old films taken of the Westinghouse shops made in 1906, worth a look,
I'm so curious to see this too.
Thanks much
Safety glasses?
Still use that same machine today
Praise the Lord for DROs and digital measuring equipment.
Superb!
Боже, храни метрическую систему...
Great to see perfect condition "spiral drive" Bullards from back in the day! Poor guys didn't have digital readouts back then. LOL
Hey guys...no matter how old time this is, IT WON THE WAR!
.011 feed per rev is a fine finishing feed?? No way lol
Nice video but that advertisement label covers it up
2:25 To tighten the nut with a fork spanner looks so bad!
give the boy a credit, he was in the 40s 😂
A fork spanner? Are you for real? You probably call your friends "mates" and your hood a "bonnet"
Bow tie, white apron, steel rules held at right angles. It's a different world now. Is that good or bad? It is what it is.
better than tattoos, face piercings, straggly hair, and shabbiness that we have today...........Willie
Crazy how difficult it was to machine an American Wok Pan, no wonder the Chinese took over that job and now it's widely known as Chinese Wok Pan.
is that not a vertical lathe ?
Yep
sound cuts out at 24:16 -- wow, I watched this boring video for 24:16! (pun intended)
Read your comment, went to the kitchen to get some coffee, then that's when I got your pun. Had to come back to computer and give you a thumbs up.

when being raised on the Imperial system it becomes 2nd nature.........i find it easier than the French metric system..................Willie

Not the best example of old training videos by a long shot....but still valuable.
Норм, человек без микрометра ,штангенциркуля спокойно делает деталь.
FYI - If there ever is an EMP strike on the US that takes out most electronics, these "old" methods will need to be relearned.
Re learned
I’m way ahead of ya been doing manual machinist for 22 years
Don’t wanna know cnc
Cnc cannot do most repair work and manual machinist can run most all machines lathe ,vtl,horizontal boring mill ,shaper,Bridgeport mill,radial arm drill .... and portable machines in-line boring bars with hydraulic or air powered motors
Manual hands can set up all these things and cut them to within .0001 tenths if you watch you heat and stop 1k short then just emery cloth it down to perfection
Already manual hands are all retired and dying
I had 4 interviews last week I just keep going where they pay the most
Another 20 years manual hands will be sought after and paid much more than cnc hands because a manual hand has to learn everything on the job it takes experience to be a manual hand
Cnc can be learned from a online course in 3 months
Millwright machinist takes years to learn and you never stop learning every job is a learning experience.

2024 I'm still running manual bullard cut masters
We machinists are spoiled today lol
I started old school, now cnc. Love cnc, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
95% are operators, not machinists
@@randymagnum143 that’s a fact. I produce a lot of the same medical tools. I’m an operator. Outside of doing setups and tool changes, I’m an amateur.
