SNS 159 Part 2: Machining a Large Hydraulic Tube Nut
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- This week I have a pretty nice machining project to tackle. This is a steel nut that goes onto a telescoping cylinder tube.It screws onto the tube end and hold the seals and bronze packing nut.
I'll use some heavy wall mechanical tubing and machine this in the American Pacemaker lathe.
Turning, facing, boring, and threading. I also have a face groove to cut on one side for an o-ring.
Enjoy!
I've been away for a while, Adam and I have missed so many of your SNS's but I am back now and looking forward to starting back where I left off watching!
It's a great privilege of seeing such an accomplished machinist in action-nearly 150,000 fellow subscribers agree with me!
+Gregor Kropotkin Welcome back!
Watching these videos is like watching Bob Ross Joy of Painting videos. So relaxing.
I've heard that one before! LOL
He is on my 'Cool Machinists List', along with AvE, Clickspring, ToT, and That German Guy Whose Name I Can't Spell ... oh, and I can't forget MrPete ...in fact
MrPete:- Your Grandad
ToT:- Your Dad
AvE:- Your weird, drunken, Uncle
Clickspring:- your crazy Australian cousin
Feel free to add to the list ...
bassbone52 I totally agree! I was trying to figure out where I was getting that feeling from! If he starts talking how pretty trees are..... That's it!
@@Mtlmshr Unfortunately in the world of machining there is no room for 'happy accidents' LOL
That's NUTS!!!!!
I could watch these videos all day long. I like how you show pictures of your products. They are from the start to the end. Thats pretty cool.
Adam, I've watched more than 250 of your videos and every time I am re-impressed and blown away at how awesome these videos are. Its been said before but I could watch you describe how the wall you just painted is drying. You have a gift, not only in your skill as a machinist and all around shop guy, but the way you teach and illustrate what you are doing, well that is just something that is simply amazing. I think of all the different things I like to watch on TH-cam, I have to put your stuff at the very top of the list. And to top it all off, you are a genuine good guy. That is a rare thing these days. Keep up the awesomeness man!
Thanks Deric!
Can anyone tell me where Adam's shop is located. I do like his calmness and the way his plan comes together. I have been a machinist for a very long time and I am very impressed with young man work. Keep making that money cut!!!!!!!
Very well said. I could not agree more👍😊
John Davis I believe he’s in Florida
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me
I am the guy in the back of the classroom watching you I can tell that you are a good machine has a machine has like you are hard to come by nowadays God bless you and we need more machinist like you
Adam your are truly a reflection of all the things that your Dad and Grandpa showed you, and all the things that you have learned your putting your experience to work. Keep up the great work and the videos. regards bruce
Thanks Bruce.
From a piece of stock to the finished product demonstrates the mastery of your trade. Truly impressive.
what a privilege to see processes such as this. these are the guys that keep America movin. God bless you Abom for the diligence to learn this craft.
Good job, Adam ! And a very good job of explaining things. You make an old retired machinist proud of ya !
Watching you machine is hypnotic and mesmerizing! Your experience and skill is without a question the highest of caliber Sir. Thank you for everything you bring to your channel.
6:22 This is how you can tackle these big complex jobs so well Adam. You just keep a cool head and stay objective. It's easy to start panicking when you have several hours into a huge job on an expensive part and it starts to go south on you.
I try to learn a little each day about patience in difficult situations and you are a great role model for that.
Always enjoy your talk through. You're knowledge comes across without a bunch of excessive talking and the video is pretty seamless. Great project.
I haven't used a lathe in 45 years but I love watching you do your magic...
a well trained and experienced machinist can make any tool tip needed,that is oldskool craftmanship.
Adam, you make inside treading look easy, as a hobby machinist it is my pleasure to watch your vids.
/Ruston
Oh they aren't too bad...
All this reminds me of my days working in the Aluminum & Steel industries as a Millwright. I enjoy his attention to even the smallest detail, and the precision that he does his job. Craftsmen that I apprenticed under taught me the excellence of working the way this man works. These are great videos!
Enjoyed watching the operations on that piece. Many years ago I worked in a sales and services shop that did a lot hydraulic work. Taking those nuts off is a chore. A lot of times no matter how delicate we tried to be the effort of removing them would result in the machining of a new nut. Good machining challenges. Thank you for sharing all these project and spending the time to do all the editing.
Yes sir, some of them can be a hug challenge and very frustrating.
This channel is informative, relaxing and satisfying. Great job Adam.
Thank you!
Fascinating from start to finish! Really enjoyed this one!
Sound volume issue didn't bother me at all. You can hear what ya need to and see what inspires and fascinates many of us plenty.
Great video, I really like watching you when you are working on big parts. Thanks.
Great to watch and listen to a pro describing his process. I know nothing about machining, but you make it seem really easy. Thanks for sharing!
hey adam, some beautiful work yet again mate. you are a true artisan. and thanks for the touring videos of your area, definately on the to do list when we get there. also love the food segments, i am amazed at how you yanks eat!
many thanks buddy
Dave
Impressed as hell. People always see stuff and never truly know what goes into designing it, building it and the most important thing, the repair of it. It breaks and they think "Just order a new part", well someone has to make those parts. My hats off to you Sir! Machining is an art into itself!
You make it look simple, thank you for showing me/us how a professional works.
Please keep up the great work.
Hi, I'm never going to machine on this scale, but seeing it done big is a great help. So much easier to see what is being done! Thanks. Bob.
An amazing piece of work Adam, so beautifully done. 'Nuf said!
Hello mr adams my name is frank and I'm a black person used to be a gernanmachinest and a tool and die maker many years ago. I just want to say i really enjoy your show
Adam... I gotta say, you do some mighty fine machine work brother!
Love the good old lathe work, love to watch you make it come together
Industrial jewelry made by Abom !! That is so awesome !
What a master. I'm blown away every time.
Невероятно аккуратная и точная работа. Часто сталкиваюсь с токорями в последнее время и кажется мне, подобные экземпляры в наших краях давно уже вымерли... Печаль. Работа - загляденье, браво.
This is why machining interest me seeing it done so well . bravo
What an amazingly talented fellow you are! Not only are you very well versed in machining principles, but you also have a great attitude; you come across as an all-around good guy. And, your productions are documentary quality to boot. I'm so jealous of you!
Beautifully done. Seeing you screw that on at the end was a joy.
Very well explained as always. Great to see a quality job from start to finish. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a Turner machinist by trade, and really enjoy your videos, I can see that you are a top class artisan, so, thank you and keep up the good work! I pick up a lot of useful little tips . Thank You
I love watching you work. I no very little about machining, but I am beginning to appreciate what skill it takes to do it right.
One of your best vids Adam! Especially liked the extra bars of the theme music to finish up, very relaxing. Close ups of the bright metal and mention of Kroil too!
love your work its a pleasure to watch a awesome machinist working
A good man makes a difficult job look easy. Well done.
Good call on knocking off those first few turns on the shaft! Thanks for sharing...
Brilliant work Adam.
My dad introduced me to your channel.. I still wouldn't consider myself a machinist, i could find my way around a machine shop and worked at one for about 6 years. and just watching your videos makes me miss it so bad.. I would love to cut some steel again sometime soon, Love the videos, keep it up buddy. loved watching the video where you talk about your background, i myself got to learn some of the ways of the old timers. and it was some of the best hands on experience anyone could ever get, I also learn on the job, starting out with small little jobs here and there, then moving up to doing my own jobs start to finish. People that don't machine just wont ever get how fulfilling cutting steel can be. Hope to get myself my own lathe for my basement soon to piddle around with to scratch that itch again.
Machining is a very rewarding trade and skill and I just love it. I'm glad to hear you enjoy it yourself and appreciate learning from our elders and from the on job experience.
It’s always another beautiful piece of work. Enjoyed the video very much. Thank you.
Thing of beauty! I'm sure it only LOOKS easy to do!
Now THAT'S a Bull nose center.
Thanks Adam.
thank you for taking the time and effort to film and narrate these processes.
Adam , great as usual. Wonderful to watch you. Arnold.
Kroil is my favorite all around lube. Super slick, gets in just about anywhere and doesn't gum up. Smells nice too.
Hi there Adam, compliments of the season. Having been in the heavy engineering industry myself and understanding how important it is to have the proper facility to machine and fabricate, I wish to request that you show more of your workshop building project progress and success. My father and I had also started from small workshop to large and then huge workshops, but unfortunately he passed away and I did not continue with the family business. So that is why I enjoy your videos and hence my request. Keep inspiring others through your dedication. Best regards,
I just watched a few of your videos and man you have it! It looks like you're third generation machinist and working in the shop you were raised in. This, like many of our trades, are becoming a lost art. So many of us that have figured out the systems from those before us and always wanted to do what they did...its hard when someone says "your old man would be proud, you're better than he was!" I always thrive to be half as good as them and look back and think I should have paid more attention. The finished products show that we came from a different day and age...even though we never lived during them times.
The thing my Daddy always said, "If you're gonna do it half ass, don't touch it! Let the one that wants to do it, do it or do it better than them!" and my favorite, "I might not be the best...but I will do until the best gets here!" The one thing it appears you (and I both) have learned from the masters is passion! If you don't have work ethic and passion for what you do, in all you do, you will never succeed. We are completely different trades but I admire what you do. I have done some machine work and loved it. I grew my hair long and got tattoos and thought I was going to be something else...always knowing were I was going to end up, right where I belong, in their shoes and working towards the dreams they had!
The hardest part for me is knowing this is all being fazed out and all the junk is taking over. Trying to have a legacy live on past us and hand down them skills down is harder than all the jobs combined! Its easier for the up and comers to do the bare minimum than to try and figure out how to be the next in line to carry that torch and let the legacy live!
I am happy for your success and the mind you have from the legends before you...THANKS FOR THESE VIDEOS, THEY'RE PROUD OF YOU!
My bosses just always tell me " JB would be so proud of what you do Adam"
Witchcraft! Two things here amaze me. One, the skill of the author. And two... that machine is AMAZING. Made in 1940s and it cuts threads automatically! Imagine the mechanics of that! No computer control, no frequency synchs, no touch-screens. Just cogs and... whatever is there. Unbelievable!
You are a great example of professional. Thank you
I have never worked on lathe machines, but i love watching your videos they are superb, keep up the good work 👍
Fantastic machine work. You sure make it look easy.
My mind is still blown that some people would thumbs down a informative video like this?!?!?!
You talking about how hard the original nut was to remove reminded me of some of the actuator repair jobs I used to do. Getting them off was the hardest part and many a Rigid wrench was snapped when a 8 foot cheater bar and 2 blokes were hanging off it. even had to use a forklift tine on the handle once. Some pretty unsafe work practices that I'm glad I don't endorse anymore. Great vid mate, I commend you on your skill and workshop cleanliness.
Been a fan for a while but yet again you amazed me on this repair!
Good video and you do nice work. My Machinist brother lives in Broomfield Co and works at a shop that rebuilds big Hydraulic cylinders. He does this exact same work daily. He's always sending pic's. Was a joy to watch you work. Thanks......
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are quite educational.
enjoy your videos Adam & I pick up a lot of useful information on lathe work etc,
as a retired plumber with my own small engineering workshop to escape to these videos of yours are really helpful
Just about to complete my rebuild of a kerry 11 inch swing lathe which is looking really great looking forward
To turning some metal on it keep up the great work we appreciate it here in the uk
Thank You Adam
Now thats a Abom size nut ! Great job as allways Adam !!
You sir are an artist with a lathe. I wish I knew what you forgot! Awesome Video's.
Fabricating beautiful, shiny, industrial jewelry!
Beautiful work.Just seeing that screw on was a joy.
Nice job Adam, all pretty standard stuff, but just a suggestion, for all the amateurs, rough machine all faces and diameters before starting your finishing cuts, especially on stainless steels to within 1mm ( 0.040") stainless springs like a SOB, and if you finish one side before breaking all the faces and diameters you can be in a world of pain. I feel your pain when it comes to old machines, feel is everything. I can remember far enough back to when we had to grind our own screwcutting tools, that was fun, and dont get me started on multi-start threads, I still have nightmares lol. Yeah, really nice job.Old school.
Great video, very informative. Salute to Adam for taking so much pride and enjoy very much on doing his job.
I love your O ring tool and your explanation of how to make and use it (18:00). So many useful tips in just a few seconds.
Proper old school centre lathe Turner,nice video 😊
Hi Adam. What a video best yet. It's great to see you work on Abom scale work you can really see what what it takes to do the job. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video Adam. Dig the large machining jobs. Make it look easy! Looking forward to you and Mr. Pete talking shop.
Awesome video, finally getting to circle back and watch this one. Love seeing those large cylinder/nuts being machined
Excellent ! You make it look so Easy Adam
I'm watching this amazing video and suddenly I realize it's the head that moves to the tool as opposed to my little desktop unit where the tool moves to the piece. I've never seen a machine like this. I am in awe. Great work.
The tool is still moving to the piece. The camera is mounted on the tool, so it looks like it is stationary.
Beautiful.. I love that the comments have little to no TH-cam experts saying what you 'should' have done!
Thank you for doing what you do, I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you inspire many of us to keep improving on our machining skills! I would not have the knowledge or know how to try my hand at certain aspects of machining if I hadn't have watched your videos! I Don't claim to be a machinist by any means, but you have made me more knowledgeable and more comfortable as a hobbyist than I could ever do myself! I have been following you for the last couple years and have learned more from watching your videos than I could have ever imagined! I and many like me appreciate your time more than you can imagine!! Thanks @Abom79
Well thanks for the comments Ryan and nice to hear for sure!
Love the accuracy and precision.
Kudos to catching the oil spot on the lens! Not much gets by Abom79. Beautiful fit on the "O" ring. The quality of the videos seem to improve with every week. Thanks for your effort!!
Thanks James!
Nice save, the customer has to love that.
Nice work as usual Adam. thanks for sharing.
Thanks Randy!
Adam I just want to add that you are a bad ass on the lathe. Also I was just wondering why you wouldnt wire gauge your threads to match the part. I've seen it done but I'm not a machinist just a hobby ide like to get into and learning all I can.
Thank You for sharing!!!! Absolutely beautiful work.
Smashing video as always. I learned to do metalwork on lathes and milling machines like yours. Proper jobs with no computers in sight. Love your youtube work!
Another outstanding job !!
I love that you have our own business now, but sure miss these monster projects.
You do such beautiful work. Thanks for sharing this Adam!
nice job Adam perfection as always. yes the sound quality was a bit iffy but only because you set the standard so high but the machining is the main part and that was spot on. Thanks again Adam
Yea I didn't have good speakers to work with at the time of editing this one.
Great stuff Adam. You're a master at your craft.
I still cannot believe that some people are so petty and immature that they give you a thumbs down.
You and Keith, among others would make great shop teachers.
I enjoy your posts and have been watching now for over a year !!!
So Happy Anniversary Adam !!!
Take care and keep up the interesting posts !!!
Thanks Steven! The thumbs down is part of the TH-cam experience and one that all creators have to enjoy. LOL
Fascinating Adam, good to know there is still a place for craftsmanship like this
Nice work. There's obviously been some advancements in threading inserts. 30 years ago I'd have chipped the tips had I taken your depths of cut. You don't have to thread in granny gear. You get better finishes and fewer problems if you thread in the "sweet spot" of speed and depth of cut.
Nice safety note on dealing with thrashing ribbon chips. They're like razor wire or jumping cactus. Get too close and they'll snatch the pliers right out of your hand or even pull you into the work zone and slash you to hamburger. Stop the machine THEN deal with the problem.
Yessir Forrest. I have to say those Snap Tap threading inserts I use seem to be bullet proof! I very rarely break the tip off. That was my own personal 1 1/2" Seco bar I'm using but I put in to have work buy a replacement and a 2" bar as well for me. :)
I try to show that when things get hairy, just be calm, stay out of the way, stop the machine first then deal with the chips.
One of the reasons I watch to the end is to see that great photo of you with your Dad and Grandpa. Missed it here.
It's coming back soon Jack, I just have to find it on the old PC. It's buried in a file.
thanks for the video's. You have given me a new perspective on the art of machine work.
Nice work Adam!
Thanks for sharing ;)
Really well done Adam. Those bigger parts cost a lot more to re do when a mistake is made. You show a good deal of confidence and competence.
Sounds like a cell phone was near the microphone causing interference....
Love the videos. Thanks for taking the time!
Very enjoyable watching you do your work. Nice explanations on what you are doing and why.
Great video and great craftsmanship !
Well done!!! Great machining a joy to watch. Many thanks for sharing.
Love to watch the big stuff, keep it up. Ben
