The hits just keep on coming, and as usual, this is another home run. Great tip on bolt extraction! That line boring sure seems more complicated tha meets the eye. Setup must be very precise. I really appreciate you including some setup sequences in these videos, because that is where the real learning takes place. I’m gonna have to get me one of those flathead angle grinders now!
I've watched Isaac from IC Weld, and Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering all follow the same process. Well, other than Isaac doing it no the ground on the job site. That's almost never a good time. I'm too old to do that crap anymore, but I appreciate watching. Did you have to run a tap through that bolt hole? It looks like somebody got jiggy with the 3/4 impact, or maybe even a 1" drive, as flat as those thread bolts were.
When I saw that I instantly thought there was no way he could true that up. I had completely missed the link on the other end. Felt like an idiot for missing that.😅
That does work pretty slick! I find it very interesting how to do that line boring. I have heard of it for years, but I never seen it done, until I watched you and Curtis.
This man makes a living fixing people that don't care about a machine. The same machine that makes the guys job easier. Great videos too man. I love them.
I started using a can of compressed air upside down to get the liquid out instead of the gas. Works awesome for shocking/quenching a more specific spot
I love it that you paint it after the repair, most fab welders just leave it to rust, then it looks so unprofessional. Good job and thanks for the video.
That's the difference between a professional and a welder who's not a fast welder nor a slow welder but rather a half-fast welder. Recently saw another TH-camr machinist say he never paints a job. His comment was "let it rust"!
Not sure it is main channel stuff but I honestly would like to see how you get the centering straight on these with using a known good index point. How the tweaking/measuring is done.
Thanks to people like you, America has become a great country, and not stupid TikTok and Instagram stars. It’s nice to look at your work, your skill is mesmerizing.
Way to Go Greg!!!~!!~ You introduced a step I had not seen. Excellent retention.... I know welding is your forte. I would like to see a job run on that fine engine lathe I see in the background or is that a "boat anchor" in disguise????
Most customers want an OEM repair. Adding a bushing that’s not factory can cause a big headache for someone in the future. Such as trying to fix it with all factory parts and realizing they need a custom bushing.
Too much clean cutting. That's all metal that you have to put back with the bore welder. That's why them Corners are so hard to build back up and get square. a bor like that that's practically round just die grind up the bore to shine it up for the bore welder good enough
Also The carbide inserts you are using probably come with a little radius on the point of them. Sometimes that radius Is too much for the two and a quarter bar and will start chattering. You can try micro 100s. It's a braised bit and they also come with a little radius on them but you can sharpen it down to a point with a green wheel on a pedestal grinder.
I use the equipment and let the mec a necs deal with the after effects. I'm only slightly ashamed but I always tell them if I don't break it they don't have job security
The value of your experience is immeasurable in my book. Coupled with the investment in tools and equipment I would not expect much competition to be beating down your doors. Perhaps I will have the joy of meeting you on "the otherside" some day. Keep dem vids a-comin!!!!!!
@@OFW If I’d been doing it I’d have bored it out enough to put bushings in it, maybe a shrink fit. Probably not the correct way to do it. Thank you Sir for the video on the right way to do things. Again, Thank you Sir
You have a talent considering what CAT parts cost I hope you are charging accordingly not many have your talent’s and dead on machining. It would be helpful if you showed a screwup if you ever had one so you look human😂
Good job as always young man, could I ask you what gun you are using on your miller 252 or 255? I need to replace my original miller gun on my 252 and dont know which way to go. thanks Paul
Our shop we always sand blast and clean the whole part because it gets a complete paint job and the customer get a part that looks like new it also keep the our customer want to take better care of there equipment every time they see that shiny new looking part also painting with a spray gun is so much cheaper and better
Nice job. That slimer grinder is a great addition to your toolbox. I wish I had one, but Milwaukee tools are super expensive here in the UK, almost double the price with some models. I tend to buy Makita or Dewalt tools as these in my opinion are good value for money. Plus, they are best suggested by several of the larger experienced tool outlets used by professionals. Perhaps Milwaukee could send me a free grinder to test and promote for them? What say you Milwaukee? Ryobi sent me several of their tools all using the same size interchangeable battery's. The set cost around £450 and all I had to do was use and promote but their grinder burnt out in no time at all as did the saw. I guess you really do get what you pay for which is, a waste of money on a Ryobi.
Looks like there was a bolt on the opposite side of the arm that they could have used to secure the pin if they had just reversed the insertion side? Just my opinion.
Just found your channel a week ago or so, couldn't have come at a better time. Im starting a mobile welding business , i really enjoy seeing some of the work you do
Bad ass videos man. I live in Visalia. I’d love to swing by and look over your shoulder for a day. I wanna get back to welding so bad. Been driving trucks but I’m over it. I wanna get back to my roots
Here I was gonna criticize you for not just welding a piece of pipe to the bolt and using a pipe wrench to get it out and instead I learned a trick I never even thought of before, nice job and thanks.
When that stuck bolt came out I gasped in relief. What a delight that was! Excellent job!! I've seen you use a second bar as reference before. That is certainly an excellent way to get the centering cones in correctly. Thanks for another very informative and educational (as well as entertaining) video! Have a peaceful Sunday.
In more than 30 years of turning wrenches, in the Navy, and in the civilian world as a professional mechanic, it never gets old, that sense of relief. Back before they had mag drills, we had one in a 390 Ford pickup where a bolt had broke off in the head. That was a team effort, and if you know anything about team efforts, we don't do that, unless we can flag some time on the job. We failed to extract it. Finally the shop foreman had a guy come in and blasted it out of the head with a torch. We were high-fiving and carrying on like we'd done the final extraction. Well, we did loosen it up for him, so.....
Fisrt time ive got to see line boring and repair from start to finsh. How long did it take to do the whole job? From extraction of the broken bolt to the final finishing? And the video was excellent. Thank you.
I have a question. I am going to weld a rear-end in my my truck how would I keep the dingle berries of the ring and pinion? I saw where you said wd-40 would keep them off a cylinder rod. Would that work also.
Low profile grinder - dude, we’re mostly guys; there is NEVER any need to rationalize tool purchases !
How true!
I love how you come back to us and explain the whole set up....done like a true craftsman....Bravo!!
That is an awesome tool!!!
Not ignoring the skill it takes to use it !!@
Even air can't get in between the bore and the pin good job 👏
Did that hound dog get some roasted bird yesterday ?
More than he can handle
We call it a z bar
As soon as you shrunk that broken bolt the result was obvious, it would fall out of the hole. You sounded amazed.

I did always wonder how a cone could work on a wallered out hole - thanks for the clear explanation!
When I saw that I instantly thought there was no way he could true that up. I had completely missed the link on the other end. Felt like an idiot for missing that.😅
I would have thought a sacrificial sleeve or bearing material might have been a good idea, for future wear.
I sure look forward to your videos, great content explained in simple terms.
Yeah that dirty little annoying bolt is out!
Thank you for sharing, it is so satisfying seeing how you professionally fix things.
That does work pretty slick! I find it very interesting how to do that line boring. I have heard of it for years, but I never seen it done, until I watched you and Curtis.
Line boring. Such a simple concept yet requires great skill in setting up. Good job.
Great Job ! incredible tool ! didn't know it exists before watching your video. Thx for that

Gkhs Guy knows his $#*t. Super info and super filming. The welding is pretty incredible.
I love it that you paint it after the repair, most fab welders just leave it to rust, then it looks so unprofessional. Good job and thanks for the video.

Every time I see that boring/welding machine , I imagine how expensive it is
As always great video
Sloppy maintenace and dodgy repairs just put the butter on your bread..thx for showing!
👍👍👍
Great Video as usual. Very talented at what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Not sure it is main channel stuff but I honestly would like to see how you get the centering straight on these with using a known good index point. How the tweaking/measuring is done.
Thanks for showing how you square and parallel your boring equipment.Luck with you on the bolt removal!!
*On Fire Welding* Bravo well done, always a pleasure to see you. Thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
Beautiful workmanship, first class job. Well done and thanks for the education.
The new paint says "this is the bit I did ignore the rest".
Job well done and yes, getting a broken bolt out is very rewarding.
The only reason he does all this work is so he can paint.
Bravo pour retrouver l'axe initial 😳👍 et comme je dit toujours bon matériel bon travail 😂👍💪👋🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵.
First 👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing
Removing a bolt definitely is one of the best feelings
Thanks to people like you, America has become a great country, and not stupid TikTok and Instagram stars. It’s nice to look at your work, your skill is mesmerizing.
Way to Go Greg!!!~!!~ You introduced a step I had not seen. Excellent retention....
I know welding is your forte. I would like to see a job run on that fine engine lathe I see in the background or is that a "boat anchor" in disguise????
I use it. It’s in great shape. I’m still buying good tooling for it.
Like watching your repairs big jobs & smaller jobs. Shop or field, always fascinating to watch. Great work.
Winner Winner chicken dinner when the bolt came out 😅😅
08:18, I second that feeling! All in all a very nice job that was done!
Glad you clarified the setup as I was one the people who thought just using the cones wasn’t quite kosher.🙂🙂🙂
Where have you gone????? We miss you!
any reason for not using a bushing for the oversized hole? maybe a harder material?
Most customers want an OEM repair. Adding a bushing that’s not factory can cause a big headache for someone in the future. Such as trying to fix it with all factory parts and realizing they need a custom bushing.
That's is still cool, doesn't matter how many times I see it 😊😊
Too much clean cutting. That's all metal that you have to put back with the bore welder. That's why them Corners are so hard to build back up and get square. a bor like that that's practically round just die grind up the bore to shine it up for the bore welder good enough

Great job , love seeing you work!
Great video, love the voice-over excellent explanations as you go. bliss to watch without bloody music.
5:13 Rust is a type of corrosion affecting iron-based materials. Saying rust AND corrosion is redundant.
I use the equipment and let the mec a necs deal with the after effects. I'm only slightly ashamed but I always tell them if I don't break it they don't have job security
Nice job, again! Belated Happy Thanksgiving! Nice new grinder too!
Great job. Congratulations
Killer project!

does look like the overweight baboons of American mechanics handly work? they may have used the 45 gal drum of red lock tight on that one bolt too
Excellent as always ! 👍👍
Greg, you give me the confidence to try things I never thought I could do . Thank you brotha. Be nice to hang out one day drink a cold one
Excellent work. 🙂👍🇮🇪
It was beautiful 5 months ago, and it still is today in the video.
I always leave the broken bolt on my extractor so that i know its posible next time lol
Boring! 🤣I love watching them weld then eat holes!
ขอบคุณสิ่งที่หน้ารู้ครับ🌏🤝🇹🇭🛠️♥️🙏🚜
Nice job you definitely got what it takes
Is it unusual that there are not bushings in those holes? Great video. Thanks
I think everything should have bushings from the factory. Parts like this and bucket ears do not have factory bushings
@@OFW
If I’d been doing it I’d have bored it out enough to put bushings in it, maybe a shrink fit. Probably not the correct way to do it.
Thank you Sir for the video on the right way to do things.
Again, Thank you Sir
You have a talent considering what CAT parts cost I hope you are charging accordingly not many have your talent’s and dead on machining. It would be helpful if you showed a screwup if you ever had one so you look human😂
I screw up all the time! I am only human
Pro finish right there. Looks brand new!
Зачем так много растачивать под сварку?
The screw extractors are the one tool where it is that brand or nothing.
Really skilled work, great video
I guess the annual tool & supplies bill is fairly hefty…. Electricity bill must be off the charts….
It’s actually not as bad as one might think.
Nice job
Good job as always young man, could I ask you what gun you are using on your miller 252 or 255? I need to replace my original miller gun on my 252 and dont know which way to go. thanks Paul
I run Bernard guns on all my welders. I think they are some of the best. I believe I have the 300 amp model on the 252 and 251
left hand drill bits work
Merry Christmas to you and the family and your work guys!
Really am hooked on channel! You just so knowledgeable and skilled!
Absolutely the best feeling

I wish I could do that to every thing I work on but it’s not always possible.

The bolt on the opposite side is way too small.
Duc tape an jb weld all you need 😅
Hi, did you take your dog to the vet for the broken leg? If so I’d find a new vet, leg doesn’t look good.
I did, and for a 14 year old dog I think he is doing pretty well. He already had hip issues before the injury.
What is that piece of the iron for
Just found your channel a week ago or so, couldn't have come at a better time. Im starting a mobile welding business , i really enjoy seeing some of the work you do
Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project, 👍👍👍👍
Bad ass videos man. I live in Visalia. I’d love to swing by and look over your shoulder for a day. I wanna get back to welding so bad. Been driving trucks but I’m over it. I wanna get back to my roots
Another success story. Thanks for the videos.
Here I was gonna criticize you for not just welding a piece of pipe to the bolt and using a pipe wrench to get it out and instead I learned a trick I never even thought of before, nice job and thanks.
We like boring jobs.
How much would a repair like this cost roughly? I'm always watching these wondering the cost.
$2,000
Another great line boring video.
Sir
How much deflection is there in the boring bar if any.
Only deflection when taking very heavy cuts.
Love watching these
Excelente trabalho amigo!!!!

@@tetedur377❤ Thanks for that.😊
How come you don't put a bushing in there???.... wouldn't that make the same problem come back rather quick?
Just doing what the customer wants. It’s almost always better to go back to OEM.
@@OFW got it. Thanks for the response! OEM would be with a bushing I assume?
Got used to much when new
Excellent line boring
Fisrt time ive got to see line boring and repair from start to finsh. How long did it take to do the whole job? From extraction of the broken bolt to the final finishing? And the video was excellent. Thank you.
About 8 hours
I just finished watching CAT 374 Stick and that one looked like it took a couple 3 days. Another great video
CEE would be proud!
Maybe on my excavator I'd drill three holes on the face of the bore to fit a jig to center a bar, then put a plug in each hole and weld it shut a bit.
Again, Well Done!
Excellent work.
I have a question. I am going to weld a rear-end in my my truck how would I keep the dingle berries of the ring and pinion? I saw where you said wd-40 would keep them off a cylinder rod. Would that work also.
I would use actual anti splatter or a thick oil like gear oil. It would stink but gear oil would work.
Thanks you
Hi, thanks for a great video. Can you tell me, when is it necessary to use cutting fluid?
I never use cutting fluid when line boring.
12:00, Dr. Goodhole scores again......sounds like a name from 007.......love all you do Greg....
Not bad. You should have set the opposite bar in the center bore. All measurements to the end bores dimension off of there.
