I used to work for Gleason Works early 1970's out of High School. I would go watch the gear-cutting and gear-grinding machines while on break. I ran a cylindrical grinder, grinding the O.D. and tapered surfaces of the collets that were used for holding the uncut gear blanks in the cutting machines. That was back when Rochester, N.Y. had REAL jobs at good pay! I always liked grinding -- the finished product looks so nice!
- @ CTLanni - Haha... Glad to hear you were interested being involved with mechanical arts in and out of high school. People like you are a dying breed... I'm speaking now about seeing the future generations that'll be needed and capable of continuing in these highly skilled trades like machining and constructing. Many public schools today consider the teaching of the three Rs as being r@cist and, that it's more important to use proper pronouns and gender identities than to learn actual skills that'll foster confidence, self independence and knowledge as a satisfactory purpose in life.
Worked as a class "A" grinder hand for 30 years in job shops, no production, and I concur, when a customer sees a finished part, what he sees is the grinding.
Imagine showing this video to a group of the most skilled machinists 200 years ago, it would blow their mind how much material we can move in such little time
Graduated from a technical high school where I became a machinist. At age 23 I interviewed at GE to operate a 4axis horz born mill. I machined gear boxes that held all the gearing and other parts. The average casings needed a crane to set them on table and were the size of a large refrigerator on its side. I expected average machine and average size parts. When i went for interview by supervisor and superintendent in the building I would work in. I entered a door beside a large garage door. The first thing I noticed was the largest vert turret lathe I had only seen in books. 2 overhead cranes were setting the largest gear I had ever seen on to VTL. I learned later it was a bull gear for a U.S. carrier. I was working in the GE gear plant in Lynn MASS and nothing was small. All HBM used the slotted steel floors as their table. We specialize in sub gearing and reduction gearing for carriers down to destroyers. At te end of 4 bays the units were assembled and tested . I won a bid for the highest paygrade with an rd classification. 15,000 union employees. The job was GE develope 3 sections that make up one propulsion for the DDG ARLEIH BURKE class destroyers. Specifically designed natural gas turbine connected to high speed reduction with hardened gears then electric propulsion. The reduction gearing case unit almost half the size of old reduction gearing and operated at higher speeds. They installed the largest 7 axis cnc horz boring mill at that time in U.S. mid 80s. The construction requirements required pillars of cement going down over a hundred ft to the solid rock. Below the machine it had 2 stories consisting of electronic devices Anand pumps and other stuff. That was 35yrs ago and i still brag about what we did. Different types of electric drives also started appearing
While in high school I was given machinist jobs for the summer months. First machine shop was in a large old shoe factory. It was now many smaller machine companies. Half of the machines still ran on the belt system. A long shaft running along the ceiling with belt going to each machine. Other section had modern machines. In my shot machinist career I operated old belt equipment to the largest 7axis CNC horz boring mill in the country. 77 to 87
That is the biggest CNC I have ever seen! Also the biggest lathe I have seen. It's funny like the lathe is so massive, but the tools are the same you would use on a traditional lathe.
I have to just say this. As a person that operated a 7 axis gantry mill for years. you can not appreciate this video fully unless you actually see it in real life. Some of the machines in this video are complete monsters that eat steel like nothing. Crankshaft wheel cutter is taking 8mm bites of steel out of that cranks every time tooth chews a piece off.
Not sure why, but I was a little surprised to see the processes are the same as smaller scale machining. With the exception of the huge twelve-jaw chuck, that lathe looks just like a dozen others I've seen, even the tool looked the same...
This is what a modern company does to win jobs. Nice clean manufacturing building and everything painted. Machinery up to date and looks like treatment of employees is great. I worked in an old school GE gear plant in Lynn MASS and now it is a vacant lot. Most of the large horz and vert boring mills were pre ww2 and manual. The union wanted the machinist in the new factory of the future to have high seniority and top pay classifications. GE built the state of the art factory an based future decisions on results. So how do you think it went. Put high seniority and high pay employees that don't need to worry about the future. Stupid grievances of small issues just to make conflicts. After 20 or more years your enthusiasm is gone. GE tore down this massive investment and no more expansion in Lynn. The union never budged on issues but if they did there was plenty of space. Could of increased employees and the future for them. Instead there is a supermarket at the torn down factory of the future location instead
I wonder what machine made the machine that makes the parts? That goes back and back to the beginning of machine tool design. We think we're pretty cool with all the tech we have now, but the lat 1800s had huge machines that did some of the same things, just not to such close tolerance. 2 story tall gear hobbers. What machine made them? I just think this needs some perspective.

around 3:30 u said "Bosts unique taylor made is the best on the business" did u mean that literally, that its best on your business meaning it would b the most efficient, easiest choice for a company, or was it supposed to read "its the best IN the business"* ?
3:20 - I'd hate to be the one that has to change all those inserts on the Bost crankshaft milling cutter head.... Even worse would be the one paying for those inserts @ $10-20 USD a piece!
The world is so boring. Machines like this show that we SHOULD have giant floating cities travelling the seas, moon bases, giant asteroid mining machines and mechanised apartment blocks that shift with the weather and time of day. Instead we all sit here in our little cardboard boxes like battery chickens whilst billionaires with no imagination do absolutely nothing imaginative with all the world's wealth. Absolutely dismal.
I know it would take a tiny bit of extra effort, but most of these images have no scale. Nor is the frame rate apparent some places. I would like to see specs for the operations - power, forces, pressures, cutting rates, materials, size, mass - whatever you have. It is possible to put that as overlays in HTML5 over the video area. Mostly there are processes here that 5 Billion Internet users do not have time to look up or translate to specifications. The pace of global technology might well increase many fold for solar system colonization. Evaluating suppliers, service providers, facilities and capabilities might hinge on near real time gathering of capabilities and decisions. The AIs can do that now, but it could become the norm, for most design and engineering to be done by human-AI teams, in near real time. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation
Nothing like a high quality infomercial to Spotlight new 'stuff'. Amazing yes, but I had to turn off the sound, to avoid the promotional spiel underneath it. This stuff is getting bad these days and it's harshing my buzz.

Laughs in Ancient Egyptian.
@@spencerhardy8667 no you're right Egyptian CNC machinists were far ahead of us...
The video literally explains what a vertical lathe is and then goes on to show a horizontal lathe. SMH
Thought the same😂

Its also said “vertical turning lathe” and thats a misnomer. It’s Vertical Turret Lathe.

Thanks for letting us hear the actual process sound and not adding stupid music!!!
Those gears are incredible and machined so precise I can't even
A lot of process, a lot of time, and a lot of technology went into it. thank you for the video!
Can you guys make a gear for my watch😮
The machine best in heavy metal sound award 🥇
A fantastic colossal machining job.

The amount of metal removed per second is amazing. It's like cutting wood...
1:48 a vertical lathe? 90 degrees out there lads.

That is actually really cool!
I’d like to see the huge machines that make this one.
I was " in aw " when I was programming NCN 's in trade school 1973 !
I was a machinist for 28 years and I've run some big stuff but nothing like this!!
Damn that depth of cut in a train track segment? Holy shit
The grinding is insane

This is proper manufacturing....
Thrisk involved must be immense.
Ich habe 12 Jahre bei Goodyear auf ähnlichen Maschinen gearbeitet. Für mich war es immer ein sehr interessantes Arbeiten.👍
I do not get amazed that much these days, but this, holy shit!
Some cant tell what is vertical and horizontal lathe... You have to love some of the comments if this is your every day bread.
This is completely insane
how long does it take to change the inserts on the mill in minute 3:00 :D

Unions wrecking what they claim to protect just like a despotic leader of a country
Look at every cutter they use... its 10's of cutters pr tool... that is the key to efficient material removal rate!
Without us machinists all y’all would be banging rocks together again

This could have been a really cool video. It's too bad each scene only lasts about a second. Wayyyy over-edited.
The different cut to different camera angle ever 1.5sec sucks. The editing is likely to give seizures
