- This video is Part 1 of heavy duty machining a new shaft for a 1000 horsepower Vermeer Horizontal Tree Grinder. We are using our TM-26120G centre lathe for machining the large tree grinder shaft. The material we are turning is a 2.6 metre (8.5' feet) length of 242mm (9.52" inch) 4340 solid bar. This job did not go to plan! The material caused some dramas which created a run out problem the deeper we machined into it.

Hey viewers Happy New Year! Our first video for 2021 is part 1 of machining a new shaft for a 1000hp tree grinder. This did not go as expected and we had some serious issues with the material. Hope you enjoy the video 😎👍
As Woodworker we bump into Problems with stress and bowing quite often. So we use heat treating as well. We heat the wood up to about 1000°C in the stove and this solves any Problem. :-)
That stock must cost a lot if they aren’t just scraping it and getting a new one
Nothing worse than chasing "lively" material.
I noticed that you are standing on a bare Cement Floot with your Boot, No Rubber Plastic Pad on the Floor, to reduce the Vibrations caused by the movement of Machines, Vibrations is too dangerous to the operator, it weekens the Heart of the operator in the long run, Put a plastc Rubber Pad on the Floor, at least 3/4 - 1 Inch Thick with holes on it, So the metal Chips could go thru, & to reduce the Vibrations. Some are using a Wood Board with space on it to let the metal chips go thru, Good Luck.
Just so you know, in my mind's eye I'm imagining Karen sitting there playing the guitar😂
Dear Curtis, my children’s mother was looking over my shoulder at your video and her only comment was that you were not wearing any eye protection. I can understand because you need clear vision to work effectively and most eye protection is not clear. I look forward to getting my hands onto my own lathe one day. Cheers.
9 and a half banana's... spot on !
That's a 2020 piece of rod, you should've waited for the 2021 model 😂
That's a lot of bananas to unpeel
"Turns out it had too much Mitsubishi in it" LMFAO haha
Enjoyed the video about the bent shaft that kept throwing out. I worked on a copper mine in the 70's in Africa and we often made shafts. I remember shaft turning carbon steel pump shafts and larger shafts for the mining operations. With long shafts with a ratio of diameter to length over
Just came across your channel and enjoy the content. I’m a manual machinist and make these shafts often and can keep them running within .001” the whole way but they can be very temperamental .Couple things I have found/been taught.
Enjoy your videos . Your explaining each step of the job is great. My grandpa was a machinist for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1937 to 1960. He was excellent at his trade. Had his own lathe & tools , unheard of in those days. No one but he could use it. He was that good. He would have loved to see you work. Love your pup...your wife is great behind the camera, you’re a good team. God Bless
Interesting to see how different shops use different ideas to do the same type of job and I enjoyed seeing how you got it done.
I just retired from a machine shop in Philadelphia. After rough machining we always send in out to be stress relieved , before final machining.
Hey mate, I’m an Aussie, not a machinist. But I have recently found your channel and have watched them all in a couple days. Love your work and genuine skills. If only I could turn back time, I’d love to do what you do and the skills you have. Thankyou!
The way this year has gone.... This is about what id expect.
That was just insane. The amount of work that goes into thinning that rod and turning the whole thing is crazy. You are amazing!
Really enjoyable to watch Curtis go about his work. A real craftsman!
