Making Acme Threaded Jack Clamps | Megabore Chuck Repair | Milling Lifting Bells | HTS Drill Setup
For the first time in a while, we had a more chilled week in the shop! Mostly playing catchup from the last 4 months of near pure MEGADRILL mania.
In this video we will be:
- Making Jack Leg Clamps
- Milling out a huge lifting bell
- Checking out the new HTS DRILL
- Fixing a 1000lb lathe chuck…
And just having a bunch of fun doing it! It’s all the random little stuff that keeps us from ever getting bored.

We Built a 3m (10 ft) MEGADRILL That Weighs 20 Tons! (Here's How It Works!)
มุมมอง 24Kวันที่ผ่านมา
In this week's video we're taking a look at the MEGADRILL. It's a 20 ton drill bit that's being constructed for drilling underground mining ventilation and rescue shafts. Powered by RC Air technology to remove cuttings, it's a unique setup that will drill three hole sizes to a final depth of 250m (over 800ft). 2.4m (7'10") 2.7m (8'10") 3.0m (Just under 10 ft!) We're almost finished with the 2.7...

      On a CNC it’s all automatically calculated. You need to know the pitch, thread depth & basic thread dimensions. You choose your RPM and it figures the rest out.

    Impressive tool. In the good old days of Defence work, we used to bore out Bomber Aircraft under carriage legs and hydraulic cylinders with deep hole boring hollow spade drills with high pressure chip removal up the centre of the tool, up to six feet deep. The worst materials were LM25 annealed aluminium castings, and a secret material called Maraging Steel, which was difficult to chip, and clogged up tools in strings. I could never access the material spec. to find a better method. I trained as a Mill Wright/ toolmaker, so used to make the tooling as well sometimes. LM 25 could be awful to machine, as castings and forgings were inconsistent in texture.

    • @halheavyduty
      @halheavyduty 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah wow! I’m pretty grateful that we largely machine 4140 steel. It’s a dream material really. Chips easily and no clogging. 6 ft with a spade drill is wild!

    @ianlangley987 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Hi Matt, another good video, well done. I used to love those sorts of jobs where you need to measure an thread etc and make the component to fit. In shipping, where I served my apprenticeship as a fitter and turner, we often had to go to a ship and detail a job then back to the shop to make it and the fitters would fit it. All very good experience when I think back. Now I will put on my Seco Tools hat and comment on the milling part. Its always good advice when using coolant on milling cutters to either flood it or take it off altogether. If the cutter gets a poor flow of coolant onto it the inserts could suffer from thermal cracking. What this means is during the cut, if we just take one insert, it will heat up and when it exits the cut the chip will fly off leaving an exposed hot corner and when it gets the coolant on it it cools it rapidly and this is what cause thermal cracking. Its alway best when using coolant on milling applications to flood it or turn it off altogether. I hope this all make sense but if you take a few minutes and look at some old milling inserts under a magnifying glass you may see what I mean. Cheers Ian (now on holiday in Fiji for 3 weeks)

    • @halheavyduty
      @halheavyduty 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s really enjoyable when you get to design, machine & fit a part! So satisfying. Thanks for the tip re coolant on the mill. If we decided to try machine, are there any major downsides? I’m guessing the inserts won’t last as long. Have a blast in Fiji!

    • @ianlangley987
      @ianlangley987 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@halheavyduty Hi Matt, I am not quite sure what you mean by try to machine, are there any down side? Maybe as a test run, where you have a number of the same parts to machine with decent cutting times, do one with coolant on and take the inserts out, then do another with new edges and then compare the two to see if there is any thermal cracking on the inserts used with coolant. It maybe different if you need to keep the job cool as ths then throws a different light on things, so then maybe flood coolant is the answer. You should also check the chip load/chip thickness per insert as it needs to larger than the size of the edge hone otherwise the cutting process is taking place on this small radius right on the cutting edge which puts a lot of extra load on things. I don't have my catalogues here with me otherwise I would give you the formulae to calculate Feed Per Tooth which relates to Table Feed per minute. Hope this all make sense once again. Cheers Ian

      Thanks mate! Just ran that new 63MM HTS and it’s bloody awesome. It’ll be up next week. Ballistic swarf removal.

      I think it’s actually pretty tough in the market to be honest - and no reflection of you. Personally I rate you a 10/10 for the service and help you give me mate. Very grateful. Especially helping me learn all the nitty gritty stuff about inserts that’s way above and beyond just being a salesman.

      Relentless little mischief makers by any name! The ones over here will find ANY (and I mean any) hole and then fill it with mud spit hard as concrete 🤣

    Where I grew up in the middle part of the US we have similar wasp we call a mud dauber. Nasty little things that clog up any appropriately sized opening they find. Nice video!

    We have mud wasps here in Québec but luckily they can only survive for about 4 months of the year due to the weather.

    I used to work in the oil field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico on drill rigs (Ultra Deep Water Semi Submersible 7000-10,000 foot water depth, 30,000-40,000 foot well depth from sea floor) and what you are fabbing up is just amazing! The size bits that you are working with just floors me! The largest well head we drilled was 36 inches. That 3 and 5 meter drill head is just unbelievable! Great job and video! Keep up the great work! Also, glad you did a shout out to Kurtis at CEE for the V blocks! I like that you shared about your coworkers, what they are doing and even giving credit to them. I also like that you are helping the youngsters get started in the business! Keep up the great work and see you next week!

      Cheers Frank! I’ve always wanted to go on a big offshore rig and see how they work firsthand. Those things DWARF everything we do as far as rig size goes. I’m not sure… but I THINK these rods we are making are about as big as it gets?? They’re over a foot in diameter and weigh a metric ton (and a bit) when fully assembled. I think the largest offshore rods they use are 8 5/8 REG? Maybe you know? Yeah, Kurtis comes up with some bloody useful stuff that we regularly recreate in the shop. A bloody genuine at what he does.

    Acme threads always have the same angles on the threads? (The side walls on the threads)

    • @halheavyduty
      @halheavyduty 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There’s a slight difference between acme & trapezoid threads, but they look the same! Difficult to copy, but it’s a marginal difference between the two, hence why I just use a visual insert check.

    Hot blueing would be cheaper and I think just as good as manganese phosphate coating. All you need for hot blueing is draino (Sodium Hydroxide) and Potassium Nitrate. That's what I use for rust protecting all my part/jigs I make in the shop.

      Thanks for that. I’ll have to check it all out. Honestly pretty new when it comes to post machining metal treatments other than basic quenching and nitriding

    In retrospect using the method to balance that huge heavy chuck like they do wooden props is a little hard to do given the weight, but using the method you use for balancing grinding wheels would be more appropriate. But honestly, given the quality of the repair on that chuck, i wouldn't sweat it unless you think it might need it. Sticking a shaft through the bore and setting up some level saw horses should be a quick and dirty way to check the chucks balance. I do say some stupid stuff from time to time. The wooden prop channel Culver Props is an interesting channel though . Some videos are better than others. The three part series on the prop for the Sopwith Camel is a good set to watch as it covers most things if memory serves me correctly. Cheers mate, thanks for the kind reply. No need for one here though.
