Making a new CAT D11R Dozer Cylinder Rod | Machining & Welding
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- This video is a job we did to make a new hydraulic cylinder rod for a Caterpillar D11R Dozer blade lift cylinder. The rod has a big groove in it and the chrome is damaged so needs to be replaced. The cylinder rod eye bearing also has some damaged. This shows the step by step process to make the new cylinder rod including machining and welding. To start, we machine and part the eye off the cylinder rod before pushing out the damaged bearing from the eye using our 150T tonne hydraulic press. We machine up the new cylinder rod using a 4” inch diameter induction hardened chrome bar. We need to machine both ends of the cylinder rod, the first end we machine through the induction hardened chrome layer before turning down the OD to fit the piston and cutting the 12tpi external thread for the nut. Then we machine the other end of the rod to weld prep for the rod eye by machining a bevel and drilling a hole for the eye spigot. The eye is welded on using metal cored wire and because the customer wants the rod to look as standard as possible we set it back up in the lathe and machine down the weld. The new busing we cryo freeze and shrink fit with liquid nitrogen. We finish it off with a quick paint job before cleaning, wrapping and strapping the new rod and send it on it’s way to the customer.
In this video we are using:
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- HMP-150T Hydraulic press

@tony king will be keeping the beard for a long time 🤣
Haah im a long time follower of mattys workshop on my old account. Couldnt remember that yt name till now. Cheers kurtis 👌🤘
I was curious do you guys run that Big machine shop by yourself? Awesome work and even cooler if you do it all on your own...
Good on you shouting out Matty, he's a top banana 👍💞
@@thats_my_comment, yes, it’s a one-man shop, plus Karen on accounts, and Homeless as Safety Officer.
This is the rare customer that allows Kurtis the deep pleasure of finishing a job perfectly. It looks wonderful with the glossy black paint.
The clock in the back ground was a cool addition.
100% agree. I have always thought to myself "I wander how long that takes" now I know.. a bloody long time stuck in one position 😬
@@MrSupafly119 Yeah an hour grinding/welding in that crouched position doesnt sound like much.
... Till you do it > Not so fun anymore 🤣
@@ToreDL87 yeah man, 10 minutes in that position and the lower back is already telling you this isn't a nice place to be. I've spent hours in below the knees spots welding away and it is not fun.
Yes, definitely. I was expecting this to take far longer honestly. I would have expected 2-3 hours. But it still can't be comfortable.
A german Clock! :D
I can’t believe this is only a one man, one woman and one dog shop. Do you not have other people working for you? My father was a machinist. We like to pass the time together watching your videos. Any other similar videos we watched together my father would include a hundred comments on how they are not doing something properly. Not yours though, he’s says your videos and also workmanship are a model of excellence. I enjoy the fact that you use your head not your back in moving heavy objects around. Thank you for the tips and entertainment. Excellent videoing and editing,,,your wife has a wonderful gift. So many neat touches and techniques. Love from Canada.
Wow! The customer wanted "just like new" and he surely got it! Superb work. And Kudos to the camerawoman for some of the most beautiful chip photography ever! Thanks!
The drawers removed from the shelf to get enough space for the rod through the lathe 🤣🤣
It's the little details that gets me clicking the video in a jiffy!
Good catch!
Randomly discovered this channel 2 weeks ago, since then I've lost myself in hours worth of machining. Love the channel.
welcome to the channel mate glad you're enjoying the vids
Similar thing happened to me just came across one of there videos on FB and been watching ever since. Very satisfying to watch. Learn something new in every video
And happened to me. Found it by accident now watch it every night to catch up.
Me too. The care and attention to the finest detail is very impressive. Kurt’s approach has got me looking at how I assess and deal with issues. More thought, less hung-ho, better results.
A man who works with his hands is a labourer,
A man who works with his hands and his brain is a Craftsman, but
A man who works with his hands, and his brain, and his heart is an Artist
People need to watch things like this to get a better understanding of what just makes the world go round!
I’ve gotta say that for somebody who’s self taught, you’re pretty bloody good Kurtis!
The camera lady’s pretty good too 😉👍
Thank you! Cheers from us both 😎👍
Most people wouldn’t believe how many people that have shaped industry and even the medical fields were self taught. The mother of invention is necessity.
@@RadDadisRad Ditto!!!!
Wow! 47 minutes of Cutting Edge video goodness - had to pause the video before watching in order to make a coffee and get settled down before my Friday fix.
Thanks again.
Enjoy mate!
Safety officer is priceless, always brings a smile.
These are some of the best filmed and explained videos I've seen.
I haven’t watched the video yet, but seeing it is 48 minutes long makes me happy.
That paint job looked slicker than an Owls Poo on a Glass Doorknob!!!! Bravo
Here in Georgia (USA) we have a similar saying: "It's like hot chicken fat on a stuck doorknob."
And the best parts last the screwup's with the future mrs cracking her jokes too lol 4 inches !
I give the toy two weeks, the rod a couple years and that oil can a lifetime; Matty did a really great job on that one. I'm glad you and the missus are having fun, your videos are a lot of fun to watch end to end and I appreciate all the time you both put into them.
Since Adam quit his daily job - this is the channel to see big things are being machinned.
Same- Used to love Abom79's videos.. I still enjoy his content, but no more big machining- It's all homegamer stuff.
The guy's incredibly talented, for sure.. But I genuinely prefer Kurtis' content and NOT JUST because he isn't fucking *_obsessed_* with the piece of crap shaper
@mashrien yea I genuinely can't figure what Adam's goals are anymore. He built a nice new shop and stocked it with a lot of nice toys but all that seems just to support his hobby and make a video twice a year. I don't think it's an advertised business to make money.
@@maggs131I used to think that his goal was to build up a respectable business for himself. But it's become obvious that his new goal is a big payday from selling his new shop and an early retirement. Good for him I guess...
But his videos were originally meant to be educational. Now his only concern seems to be whether he mentioned his latest company sponsor enough times during each video.
Yay, been waiting for this. Friday therapy
Get on it 😂👍
yes, very relaxing and satisfying to see that the work is done in a proper and precise way. It's like you would do it if you could and seeing the excellent results is always great and rewarding.
it's so relaxing watching these videos for some reason
Seeing the big meatball is the best part of the video. he's so happy
Homeless Bignutz..lmao. I lost my coffee. Keep the vids coming, really enjoy the thim. No nonsense just working..thanks guys.
Hi Kurtis, I really don't understand why some people have a Thumbs Down ..... You are a very motivated craftsman, you have the best tools, you do something that not many people in the world can do - extremely heavy precision work! Or is it something personal from those guys .... Keep it up man because every video is again a gift for me and I can envy you ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
hey mate thanks for the support! It seems to be the same amount of thumbs down when each new video goes up so we think there must be some haters hating haha jealousy is a terrible thing 😂
Successful business, happy 2ic, cool safety officer. Bound to get under somebody's skin.
Could be the OEM sales men…. 😜
@@guybonfiglio5899 dare say cat not happy
Perhaps the thumbs down are tender souls being offened by the fruity language in the out takes?
I’m glad that you found a job that you really love to do that makes you happy
"They do cop quite a floggin'"
This is a new phrase for me.
Friday evening here in France, strange how having worked my arse off all week is made better by a few glass’s of wine watching someone else do the same😂
haha enjoy mate! and have a good weekend
Watching from South Africa, your channel was recommended by my brother who works at a Platinum smelters❤
Amazing thanks for watching mate glad you and your bro enjoy the vids 😎👍
Is that near Rustenburg? Grew up there!
@@jq4t49f3 yep
South Africa? Do they play rugby there?
@@joelhart9020 Occasionally, though they are known to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory all too often.
YEAH! After missing out last week, I can finally watch my most favorite YT-Show! CEE-Cup is filled and we are ready!
Have a nice weekend everybody!
Hey mate You're forgiven this time 🤣 a long vid to enjoy this week to keep everyone going til next week 🤣👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering indeed a very long one! Loving it
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering oh and before I forget: nice beard! And I really like Kares music selection for those timelapses. Keep up that great work!
Another good one there Mate . Good to see my sticker made it over the boarder ! Cheers .
You are an artist with the work you do on the lathe. I'm also very impressed with the safety/security officer managing all the fame bestowed upon him, he has not seem to change his attitude at all. Plus the camera person still enjoys the little 4" things in life.
we're a humble trio can't let fame or the size of things get to us! 😂
Watch this at 3am as it’s released or save it for the morning… the hard choices!
Hit that play button who needs sleep! 🤣👍
I saved it for the morning lol.
@@bubbakushingtonIII well I’m watching it at 3am, if that helps. ;)
My choice was "both" because I started dozing off last night. Started over this morning. hey, it's a dozer part anyway.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I tried the responsible adult thing and went to bed at 6am :D I saved this video for later in the day and have no regrets! Excellent work as per usual sir.
Brother, thank you for making my office morning here in Hamburg, Germany less boring! :-) Stay safe! Cheers!
Hahaa happy to help mate glad you can enjoy the vid and have a good Friday 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Same to you! :-) You´re doing a great job!!
I miss this stuff , I was an engineer and toolmaker and I made these things for a living untill I broke my back twice. But loving your channel
Thanks again for letting us be in the shop a little while. I miss it at times since I retired. I will be watching for next week!
Your wife is very patient, lol
And she laughs at you!
We all screw up, but you work is great,
Homeless needs a youtube channel as well. He's so vocal I love it. Another great video and cheers from Vancouver Island.
We would lose all our subscribers 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Put a go pro on Homeless.
Homeless already HAS a TH-cam channel... He's trained Karen and Kurtis as the primary actors!
Hey Tee Mac my wife and I are watching Alone. About 10 people surviving on North Vancouver Island. Pretty interesting!
@@stephenthompson9722 The island is a special place especially for the out door lover .We love it here with the exception of the pesky bears and cougars and this weekends low 40C weather but other than that its our paradise. Cheers...
I think everyone can appreciate a new fresh bush. 😂
Yeah, but that liquid nitrogen insertion.... I'm not so sure about that! 😂😂😂
really enjoy watching a real craftsman at work, love the pup!
Rare sighting of the fabled apprentice's 'Long Stand' at 3:34.
Just need sightings of the rest now:
Tin of Elbow Grease
Bucket of steam
Bottle of Prop Wash
etc.
Just an magician, can't get enough of your work mate. Love watching it. Thanks for sharing
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching
How could you face such a giant job without getting depressed? you are a miracle!
I agree, that really was one of the cutest boring bars you've ever used.
One thing that I noticed is how incredibly safe you are, I would've just let that steel beam hit the floor and jumped back and bitched about how need to lift it up afterwards.
We need the safety inspector at my job. 🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
Safety officer takes his job seriously. We also like him I think that makes a difference 😂👍
Morning guys....... looking forward to this feature length video throughout the day....... still think there's a crew of 10 or more employees hiding in the background........ Savage workload 👏 👏 👏.......
Evening from here mate! If you count Carl and Homey there are 4 of us 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 🤣
Лучшая команда по обработке метала)) шерстяной - босс))
Would love a video on your inserts and what the ID numbers stand for, their strengths and capabilities are and how you choose them for the job at hand.
love your work mate!
-Higgo.
Excellent Job as usual. I like how you counter bore the replacement rod to accept the donor eye from the F'd up shaft.. Ensures proper alignment when welding.
Pure art. Thank you for a top quality piece of entertainment. Just got to love a man that is good at his job. And a lady that is too!
Thanks Steve glad you enjoyed it
Agree !!!
Really great videos, I started work in a shop similar to yours but on a much smaller scale, the firm I worked for made scales and measuring equipment, that could literally weigh the ink in a full stop on a sheet of A4 paper, but then my career changed, I went into Londons Metropolitan Police,and after 30+ years in that, went and worked for a High Court judge, but watching your videos, with the sounds of metal being machined, I can still smell the hot metal and the distinctive smell of the coolant. Bring back great memories, but I don’t think we would have got away with your safety officer in the 60s, very well done. ( love the out-takes by the way.)
Keep the clips of Homeless, I just lost my Staffie of 13.5 years and seeing him brings so many good memories. Thanks
Yeah, finally made it. Thanks for another week of shiny metal! My first view of that oil can made me think it was the world’s toughest chew toy for Homeless! 😂
No bananas were harmed in the making of this video.
I guess all you needed was a handle, and you become the lord of the cling-wrap!
Thanks for another great one, and enjoy your weekend, Team!
Hey Geoff hope you've had a good week mate. A handle and a tiny roll helped haha. Cheers😎👍
Very nice job, paint and everything. I am looking forward to the new lathe. Homeless might need a toy box.
The pride in every part he makes. He makes things for people and I know they would not think of calling someone else. Except I think it be easer going and picking one up at headquarters of parts world wide 4 miles from me. But this fine machinest is not that close. Push the 👍.
He works hard showing us how things are made !
Love how he balances the bar precisely in the centre!
We've been waiting all week to see Kurtis to play with his Big Rod...
You won't be disappointed...giggity 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering already the Video tells me he's going to be hammering some Bush into his big rod....
Be still my beating Heart...
You may be thinking of his Fans only channel
Good job Kurtis, I like the one hit of the hammer to insert the bush to depth!!!!
Agree !!!
What a pair and of course Security Dog. Besides the entertainment I also learn a lot. Good deal for the viewers.
Awesome gift from Matty! 👍👍
Yeah was stoked to get that!
Thank you guys for yet another amazing video!! We really do appreciate the time and effort that you put into doing these vids. We around the globe truly do anticipate when the next video comes out! Loved that this weeks vid was 45 minutes long!! You are teaching and entertaining us around the globe. Thank you!! See you next week.
My initial thought when I saw the thumbnail: "Why would I want to spend 47 minutes watching a steel bar get thinner?"
47 minutes later...........
😂👍 thanks for watching mate
This is a lesson on how to do it!. Would like to have some of his skill and knowledge. At 79, almost, expect that it is not going to happen. The time, watching hom, goes past quickly, and I pick up little tips as it goes. Thanks.
Dirkus....... That, my friend, is addition through subtraction. The bank account loves addition!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering great video clip
What a productive pair you and Karen are !
.... teamwork ..... and you can drive the ball and laugh nicely off-screen .... subscribers love you ...
Love the explanations. Love the slow mo. Really love how you show what the part is and where it goes on the machine. Super love the out takes. Excellent channel.
Signed…. The real Carl. Lol.
ANd now we've learned Homey's surname...
🌰🌰🤣👌
yep
Hahahahaha
They stand out like...
What a good worker, no shortcuts the quality of the work is top notch
Another great video. Homeless made me smile as usual when he got his new ball. That really made me smile.
Honestly dude, love your videos, watch every single one as soon a you post!
hey mate thanks for supporting the vids glad you enjoy them
You sir, are a LEGEND, homeless is gorgeous and the camera lady, what a team!
Aside from your amazing skills as a machinist, you appear to be an expert at polishing the shaft.🤣🤣
Had lots of practice 🤣
The way you put the rolled up piece of paper insdie the bushing to protect it during painting, genius! i'd have spent 5 hours trying to tape it off
I'll say it again. What a privalige it is to watch a master at his craft. I love what you do, but most important is seeing you love what you do. You have a great gift! Thanks for sharing!
You want it to look standard, no bother here it is, great finish Curtis.
Nice work with the camera Karen! You get better and better with each vlog. Some of these shots today were amazing! Not everyone gets to see what we as machinist see on a daily basis. Nice work Kurtis it's always gratifying to me to watch another machinist work. Always looking forward to your next vlog.
Ole Homeless is absolutely Fabulous 🏴☠️❤️🎥👍🏻💯 ! Great VIDJA’s !
OMG, the bloopers are some of the best film!!! And I have to admit that I've fallen in love with the safety officer.
The carbide thread cutting inserts are brilliant. No more time wasted grinding a cutter that’s good enough. Just when you think “She’ll be right” she’s not…
Right on mate we love the carbides
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I use full form thread inserts all the time. Only if I'm getting chatter I switch to one size fits for all insert because it's more free cutting 👌🏻
Love the vid as always, was waiting for vid since the announcement. Now I can go to sleep. Almost 1am here good night all
Night mate thanks for waiting and watching!
I'm a retired machinist. Never got to see big parts being cut thanks
WOOHOO, It must be Friday. I know what your outback folks deal with now. We are breaking temp records. It will be 46C+ here today. We are normally at 23C. Very dangerous for many of us. Friends are here as I have some AC. No silver pouring till this breaks. I have always preferred the Induction hardened bar as they can be repaired as verse to chrome as you well know. We used a fluid type buildup as it is done cold. I never tire of seeing these done. It is funny to see the toolbox drawers missing behind the lathe. There as a nice comparison to just how long the new lathe is as well. Your pup is always a happy fella, LOL and that oil can is just way too cool. A hand made beauty indeed. It is incredible to see the tooling tech now compared to 50 years ago. That 25mm drill style and ceramics weren't even thought of as carbide was just in its infancy. High speed was still commonly used when I was a pup in school. For hardened pieces lengthy grinding operations were a regular occurance. I may be old school but I sure am digging this stuff eh. Well mate, Tis another thing of beauty. I hope your having a great weekend my friends.
Hey mate hope it starts to cool down for you all soon! That is very hot, where we are in summer it usually tops at about 40°C but very humid and muggy which isn't nice. You always pick up on the little details in the vids! Yeah lots of awesome tools available these days definitely makes the job easier. Take care, cheers 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering The ceramics are sooooo wonderful. I can't count how many carbides I have wasted trying to buck my way through chrome and induction hardened pieces. Same shit here today. It kind of sucks as the casting sand produces better finishes so damned if ya do and damned if ya don't, eh......
Hey Kurtis , you need to be careful mate ! Karens getting pretty sharp on her camera skills , dont let any of those Hollywood hacks headhunt her to show them how to point a camera !
You're not wrong mate she enjoys it!
Emballé, c'est pesé
Encore un client heureux, bon travail Kurtis
Is just me are dose anyone else happy when there is footage of the handsome dog ? lol
You three are the best from the USA
превосходно. Спасибо вам за видео. успехов!
Admittedly, the videos show a much condensed version of the jobs you do; truly a master of your craft! Then, the outtakes prove you are human. You have a wonderful collection of machines and tools. Is there a long lead time in receiving new stock? Your metal supplier seems to be fantastic.
Ok Kar...urtis, the outtakes and mishaps are a great addition to the typical seriousness of the videos. It funny and yet educational because we get to see the mistakes and unforseen instances which only coke from years of machining! Thanks Kur..Karl!
Your video of you working is pleasant to watch. What I mean is not only the work but the camera work too and how you explain things.
"Homeless Bignutz" ....Too funny...:-) @10:50
a good name choice haha
My fav channel thanks for posting good end to the week
Hey mate thanks for the support! Glad you enjoy the channel 😎👍
Отличная работа ! Лайк оператору ....всегда тебя поддерживает
Not sure how this ended up in my recommended but I’m not complaining! You do a hell of a job!
Great job kurtis, that was so cool to see start to finish. Take care an have a great weekend
Thanks for taking time to watch it mate
The outtakes prove your human. I'd have a beer with you any day! Keep up the precision work! Love the channel. 🤙👌
Really talanted guy, no bodge jobs, doesn't take short cuts. Love watching him work. Keep up the good work dude.
I've been subscribed for sometime now and am really impressed with your work but dressing out the weld on this project is really next level!
Hey mate! Thanks for supporting the vids and appreciate the comment 😎👍
We call them 'bushings" in America. A 'bush' is a plant/vegetation over here in the States. ;-)
Wrong Steve! They invented "bush" in OZ!!
We talk slowly so we have to shorten words.
You always know it's going to be a good video qhen it starts off with a happy Pittie getting his head scratched and walking to work! Good job! Thanks!
living his best life
It's no big thing and I know he looks like a Pittie, but Homeless is actually a Staffordshire terrier. Pittie's are banned in Australia. I have a Staffie and you can tell by the videos how cool they are!
The customer has the same OCD I have, they wanted it to look like new- stock, and our Aussie guy was happy of oblige, i loved the extra lathing work and then black paint job.
Had to remove drawers from the tool box to get enough length to work! :-)
Anyone else watch this coz it's ASMR?
😎👌 good stuff
Love the outtakes. You both have a good sense of humor.
That dog can handle a micrometer like you wouldn't believe! He's a professional!
