  • This new barrel needs honing so we're going to be using our new Sunnen horizontal honing machine! This video is part 2 of making a new barrel for a Caterpillar D10 Dozer blade lift cylinder. In this video we show machining up the new barrel, fitting and welding on the head flange, trunnion mount and stand offs that we made in Part 1. We also show the complete setup and honing of the barrel using our Sunnen HTA-4100 horizontal tube hone. Keep an eye out for Part 3 where we will be making the new barrel end and finishing the build of this new cylinder barrel!

    In this video we are using:
    - Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
    - WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
    - Sunnen HTA-4100 Horizontal hone

      After reading this back to myself, I must issue this PSA... For Curtis' eyes only, or anyone who's as broken and warped as me lol.
      You could hone one big assed engine with that sucker.... Although it doesn't really suck anything does it? It more resembles a f machine kinda action... Or with all the thrusting and twisting motions I'm picturing more of a giant fisting machine... Omg that's a bit disturbing isn't it, and brutal lmao. I'm a little worried how my mind works sometimes lol.
      On a more wholesome note the spin cam was a bit of fun chaos... and my brain just now visualised those 2 things happening at the same time... I am right to be concerned, aren't I?

      Just to present another viewpoint... in 'production' there would be dedicated setups for repeated manufacturing operations. Kurtis's shop is not equipped that way because he has a large range of parts to make or restore, and they all come in as one-offs. Aside from his shop aid tooling it is not equipped as a production shop, but he is extremely well equipped for the one-offs that make up his bread and butter.

      @CGT80 Рік тому

      We saw how easy it was to place the new parts, but the other genius part is how easy it was for him to make the jig. He ran bolts through tabs on the original and just cut flat stock to join all the points. The only critical part was to ensure the jig wouldn't flex too much. If he builds more of the same cylinders later, the payoff will be huge. It goes to show that sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. The guide to weld the standoffs was also very smart. It takes some skill to be smooth while changing direction in welding, but he is great at it and running spray arc makes it look like it could have been done by a robot in the factory.

More and more automation and less manual skills, whether it be using the machines, doing the layout work to set, adjust, and calculate dimensions, appropriate materials for the part being fabricated, and so on. A hundred years ago, machinists could do mathematics in their head, or they figured it out on paper, having to do the calculations themselves, instead of having a computer do all of it.

    Man I just love watching y'all's videos from here in Austin Texas USA. I hope you're paying Karen well because she does a heck of a job making videos and that's a skill that's in demand. Outtakes are something I've never seen before done consistently. Fun aspect that keeps it real. I'm a pit owner myself so Homeless is a distant cousin. Makes me wish I would have jumped in hard to my aunt's machine shop when I was younger. I know I like my days a lot better. Thumbs up all the way around.

  • @robertwest3093

    I am constantly amazed at the accurate results that can be achieved by honing such a long bore with stones that wear at unknown rates. With a carbide tool the size pretty much stays at a known size whereas stones are steadily wearing down. When using a manual style honing machine to hog out 1 mm (~.040 inch) there is even more of a chance that the bore ends up wavy. These CNC honing machines have changed the game!

      Could you explain this further. I noticed that long bolt and thought that it was to spot weld splatter from going into the thread. And was just long cause that made it easier to put in / out. But clearly it is for something else called a steady piviot which google isn't being helpful with.
