Shaping a large chunk of high impact ductile iron into a marine engine coupling, four inches longer than the original / sample coupling supplied by the customer. ;{)
I am so glad to see you are still doing videos. I was afraid when you were done with youtube. I hope you continue with upgrading buffy. I appreciate learning the things that have been passed on to you by the old timers. So cool.
Off to study Machinery Handbook for high impact ductile iron vs. some type of steel, noting this is an engine adapter that will get torque and vibration and maybe some hammering from piston power. Thank you for investing your time to make a machining video.
Hi Keith! We need more patriots like you. One thing I would like to point out, and I don't fault you for this, since most schools have taught and continue to teach this incorrectly: The pledge of allegiance does not have a comma (and therefore no pause when spoken) between "one nation" and "under God" Source: 4 USC 4 and 36 USC, Chapter 10, para 172
Wow, That is such a nice big slug to work with my friend. I always enjoyed working with cast iron. Just something about it. Thanks for yet another fun post fella. The waste cuttings can sure suck the oil out of the ways Take care eh ! I will see you in part 2 my friend.
What kind of click bait is that? I thought I would find out about some new miracle surgical procedure or some super duper vacuum pump gizmo, but no, just some guy in a machine shop. Ha! I joke. I have been watching your channel for years.
Hey Keith, put your magnet in a plastic sandwich bag and you never have to do that maneuver again just open the bag invert it (inside out) and pull it off the magnet
@@Coltgov191145 Yep, I understand. I've had ZipLoc bags shred over not much time, so I tend to use a shop rag or thicker plastic bag. I use magnets removed from hard drives on a metal plate which really gathers the "iron moss".
Looking forward to part two Keith! Probably seems like a dumb question, but what is the advantage to having the turning tool upside down the way you did? Cutting forces pulling the cross slide up into the dovetail for more rigidity? Can't wait for when you set up the other end. Thanks!
Is there any particular reason for drilling/boring that piece dry? Just asking...maybe this may save me some pain, should I have an opportunity to turn ductile iron. Very ntersting video .
@@throttlebottle5906 Your predictions have come true. Wait until they start holding pharmaceutical precursor chemicals political "prisoner." China makes chemicals for ~1/100 the cost that we make them domestically. Because they don't have to pay Harrods chemical taxes and don't have to deal with the EPA when making chemicals. They also don't have to use clean methods of chemical production. (Clean methods are more expensive and/or take longer than dirty methods.) So is buying said chemicals is the same as is polluting. So since there is no penalties from receiving chemicals from China, the EPA laws are only harming our economy and our ability to be self reliant, without actually doing anything for the environment. China has all but said that we are their enemy. Add to that the propaganda the CCP is putting out about the US being responsible for the virus, and it's clear they are not our friends.
The stock seems to be approximately 8" x 12", this weight around 170 pounds, depending of the source and discounts, make the price over $3 per pound at least.... 🤑🤑🤑 You don't want to goof on this one... !!!! (Maybe you get a good discount for purchasing 2 or more... lol )
@@pierresgarage2687 thank you. Didn't know the going rate for ductile. In small quantity. So often we look at a 30# part and think it's expensive per pound, but can't see what it was made from. Stock for machining has really surprised me at it's cost. Hard to appreciate it till you get to the supply house and pay the bill.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd By looking at what the final part looks like, the waste will be more than the left over weight, in production runs the maker would have those made from castings and finish by machining, in a one of Keith does what's needed. Like I say price will vary A LOT, depending the source. Could almost triple, best to always try finding a wholesaler when needing regular supply, even for modest quantities. 🙂
@@markellis6886 Sounds like the customer got a real good pricing, there is lots of work in removing the overstock, cast iron finishes nicely and isn't subject to so much expansion due to heat as other materials are. You know it's cast iron when you blow your nose... lol
Hola meu amigo,excelente trabalho!Admiro seu profissionalismo sempre,e fico ansioso por mais trabalhos como este,é um espetáculo trabalhar com uma peças dessas grande!Obrigado pelo trabalho,minhas saudações meu amigo,e já ansioso pela parte dois!
Dang,, 4 more inches & I won't be married anymore She might even be pissed to see me go Been DIYing it with my mini-lathe & then watching this operation, I kinda know how she'd feel
Even after another year older birthday, you looking good son. I only wish Keith is, someday I just could get a job like that; nope not here . All l get is the impossible, and that is not the machining part, but its, the set up . On this side of the bridge we do have high end shops that won't even look at the problem. This week an industrial 264 IH black diamond 6 gas/ exhaust manifold to be re surfaced came in, so it comes here to its "last rights" Anyone know what I will just pick this out of a hat lets say 1939 Hudson -see it it looks like this manifold job, its all round no flats so how in hell ya clamp it. First thought is shaper no, I only have a 12" SO yes hours of wedges, blocks & clamps (I made all my step clamps on the shaper) Maybe fly cut or just snip it with end mill . I will use my 10 X 54 full power Cincinnati and boy oh boy keith i slid into this mill from Maxim Fire Middleboro Mass & they sold out Take this for $1200 and they put it in my truck ooh but the F350 handled it perfectly. in closing lets make a video clamping hold downs step clamps holding rounds and art deco stuff....sam
Carpenters use a vacuum to get rid of their waste when it would make little difference in the final product. Machinist's just let the waste lay there when it could cause major problems, why is that? Is it not manly to vacuum up your swarf while is being produced? Is it because their hot? Surely someone must have a solution for that!
burning hot metal chips are a "devil" to deal with. A. they melt into many things quickly B., they're sharp jagged and odd shapes that entangle into clusters. the above two are plenty reason to not bother trying, it would melt into flexible hoses, and wad up blocking off flow quickly, even if it was a high velocity blower setup with very short intake hose\ and all smooth radius metal tubing, it would ball up somewhere. not to mention the added fire risk of oil soaked junk pooled up with great oxygenation or a fire at single machine igniting a whole collection system ;)
@ 13:00 Try a light-weight ziplock bag to protect the magnet. Thin plastic won't seriously affect the magnet's ability to pull, and cleanup is much, much easier/faster...
Keith, great stuff. This is the type of content that has made your channel. Looking forward to Part 2!
Best start to a video I ever saw!! May God Bless the USA!
Very good video Keith. That's a big chunk of cast.
I am so glad to see you are still doing videos. I was afraid when you were done with youtube. I hope you continue with upgrading buffy. I appreciate learning the things that have been passed on to you by the old timers. So cool.
Looking forward to your next video Keith. Just when I was enjoying it too. Thank you for sharing this project 👊
I was just thinking that it has been a long time since you gave us a lathe video, Thank You!
In jobs like these, I definitely see the advantage of mounting the tool upside down.
good work Keith nice seeing you in a video
Thank you sir. you show it DONE, not HOW it is done, DOING IT! Well done....as it were :)
I found putting magnets in a zip lock freezer bag helps. Glad to see you back in the shop.
Glad to see some great machining. You always have such interesting projects.
The most dreaded words when you are enjoying something. To be continued.
Excellent work. Glad to see your post. Thank you
Glad I saved up on watching you. Gives me some video to watch while you work on phase 2 of your life. Hope all is well.

Free Harbor Freight tape measures, gotta love 'em.
I like the free $1.99 four-way screw drivers. I have them everywhere because they are so handy!!
BarnyardEngineering I have the free magnetic trays all over my shop. I love the things
horrible fright
Yikes! You left us hanging on a cliff here - just as it starts to get interesting 😂
lol,, right?
Thanks for the vid Keith. Hope you are well.

It's reassuring to see that even the pros occasionally omit something or make a minor mistake. Looks great so far.
It amazes me that you are able to hold that giant slug straight without support, even when it's 4" longer ;-)
I like the job. I'll refrain from making comments on the title. I'm sure you will get enough of that from others
I agreel, time to move into the metric world.
Thats what facebook if for😁
@@ponkkaa won't ever use it. Not once
Hey, Good to see another video...missed ya.. :)
AMEN , and right on brother... a great way to start a great vid
Good to see you making chips thanks for sharing. :o)
That's such a beautiful material. They should probably make planes out of it. Boeing, you know where to mail the check.
Can't wait to see what happens next!
Looking good so far. A lot of chips yet to come.
“It needs to be four inches longer....”
Man, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard *that*.
LMAO
Thanks for the video.
Thanks Keith. Waiting for part 2
Couple of spade drill bodies from Allied would do you well Keith. If your tailstock is a 2-speed, can easily drill straight to 2.5-3” in one shot.
Very cool video, was starting to have chip withdrawals LMFAO 🤣
Nice one Keith thanks . . .

Good Tip!
He commented on using a rag around it, btw.
@@jameswyatt1304 yes he did but the ziplock bag keeps the magnet clean even if it gets out of position is what im saying

it is just to catch the chips more easy. not flying around so much contaminating the ways.
Is there any particular reason for drilling/boring that piece dry? Just asking...maybe this may save me some pain, should I have an opportunity to turn ductile iron.
Very ntersting video .
Cast iron is usually machined dry. Not sure why, but cast iron doesn't seem to machine well with cutting fluid.
I’m new to your channel. Why the lathe in reverse and tool upside down?
I see you're starting to build a iron mountain there Keith!
new to this channel, do you always run your lathe so the work spins clockwise?
Great job, 4 more inches I wish.
Thanks for sharing!
Good Bless You ! God Bless the USA !
Hi Kieth
Did I miss something ?
Are you running backwards just to keep the chips in the pan
Or is there another reason ?
THX Keith, 'just 4" ' but so much more satified than the 8" ;) of stupid story tellers... Go on like this...
Don’t turn upside down when your turning because the pressure pushes the saddle up, and if your seals are faulty then swarf can get under your slide
Looks like nice job
Keith, what is the main benefit to running the tool upside down?
also why the magnet?
Thanks :)
Woooooohoooooooo!!!!! Keep em coming sir!!!!!!!
Little block good tip!
What is the theory and practice taking material off in chips and without lubricant? Many thanks.
Must have been filmed on a Monday! :)
Does ductile iron machine similar to cast iron? Or are they the same metal?
Shouldn't you cut the outside radius before you cut the center bore?
How much did you pay for the tape measure- bottom left?
"free" but trust me, you are(america) is paying for it dearly when you shop there, one way or another..... yes we all shop there, just minimally
@@throttlebottle5906 now I feel bad for paying them $1499 for my 13x40 gap bed and $899 for my rongfu.

Hmmmm....the bull must have won😉😆
Pile -O-Chips there.
Do your bedsheets have stars and stripes?
Why do you put your OD cutter upside down?
Appreciate you!
I’m just surprised at your apparent lack of any lube for the cutting tips?
Kevin Taunt
Cast iron , lots of graphite in the material.
That's one helluva lot of material you carved off that.
That tape measure is going to destroy your beautiful lathe 😁
In my limited experience, CI isn’t that grabby.... is that something indicative of high impact CI?
Not really grabby! ;{)
is there a reason bit is on bottom and turning ccw rather than on top turning cw
A 4in. Spacer wouldn’t work ?
Magnetic stuff...🇬🇧👍
Some more hogging to come nice.
I hope things are going smoothly.
Good Ol Kieth Fenner. God Bless man. I love your experience.
Keith why are you turning this in reverse or am missing something you said? Good job on the video Cheers Zed
To direct the swarf in a downward path. ;{)
why cast iron and not steel?
Easy of machining and lap friendly. ;{)
Can you explain what “putting a flat on either side” of the drill bit to control the grabbing is?
It reduces the rake angle of the cutting edge.
What would the guesstimate for cost of the stock for this job?
The stock seems to be approximately 8" x 12", this weight around 170 pounds, depending of the source and discounts, make the price over $3 per pound at least.... 🤑🤑🤑

In part two, that is going to be a mountain of chips, my plastic shop vac would melt.
you could put the magnet in a plastic bag ?...

I couldnt look at any machine in a compressor manufacture I worked at in the 70s with out getting CI dust and grit on me.
