SNS 351: K&T Horizontal Milling, Single Point Threading Pipe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2021
- We'll have a little chip making fun on the K&T horizontal milling machine with a 1" staggered tooth milling cutter. I have not done any type of heavy load tests ever since I corrected the feed motor wiring. This was a test I had been wanting to perform to see how the machine will handle some heavier milling ops.
We also have a threading job as well. Some light fixture hangers that were to be cut 12" long and threaded on the ends.

Adam,
Thank you for this video. I began my industrial maintenance career repairing the identical Kearney Trecker mill as yours (1982). I don't know how old the machine was, but it wasn't new. It was an all day, every day use machine. We ran a Series 2 Bridgeport for our manual vertical work and the KT only saw horizontal work. I really enjoyed working on the KT. Most functions on this mill are hydraulically controlled with manual porting. Each dial position ports oil via a small hydraulic tube and/ or internal casting porting. The engineering and manufacturing of these components is beautiful work. Separating casting sections rewires small O rings for sealing. Counting the dial settings lets you see how many porting paths are required to do the manual gear shifting. This design was the hallmark of KT. No other manufacturer that I serviced exploited this design like KT. It gave a lovely beauty in the internals of the machine. Removing the front knee casting cover, keeping the knee internal casting mechanical components aligned while managing the weight was a chore for a skinny technician and required use of a fork lift to support the weight. I learned so much about industrial machines servicing our KT. We upgraded our KT after our plant flooded in 1993. I haven't touched a KT since. I never operated our machine, but I have many hours inside it. It was unique to our shop. It was unique to my long career. I enjoy seeing your machine still making chips. When you resurrected your machine I wished that I could be on hand advising you. It would have been fun for me to be back inside the KT.
Our shop was set up so that virtually every machine was 100% fully loaded for every shift. Our machinery saw a lot of production hours.
The feed control is a good design - far more convenient than mine. I guess mine was designed with 'programming' in mind - the process of settting the job up would include setting the feeds and speeds and never adjusting them as the job progressed. The gear levers are on the main body of the mill - so it's walk round the table to make adjustments while the spindle's stopped !
This would be a great place for the Slomoguys to come film.
I sometimes use the super slow-motion on my Note 9 while turning or drilling.
I was expecting to hear the six million dollar man sound effect..
Man that staggered cutter looked like it was making roll pins instead of chips. Had no idea that machine could work that hard in a single pass.
I have to tell you, I was watching some of your older videos and I can't believe how beautiful that G&E shaper is. As old as it is and runs damn near like a new machine. It sounds quiet. I'm jealous 😫. I love that thing. That massive shaper that fireball has is great. Its not as nice as that G&E though. I've been a machinist most of my life. I never had the opportunity to work with one. Well, I made parts for firearms in my fathers little gunshop. Nothing on the scale you do brother. Keep the videos coming brother please. PEACE ✌
Cutting threads is very satisfying, kind of like looking at a campfire.

Looks like Adam is in the lead for Chip Of The Week!
That's because he is a chip off the old block.
Once again, I love those slow mo shots, and the audio compliments it perfectly. Great job on the editing there Adam.
Now that's some entertainment I can wrap my head around. What a beast of a machine! I've never seen one of those. The slomo shots were the icing on the cake. Nice effect!
What a cool slo-mo shot! I really like how the alternating teeth shoot chips left and right.
You aren't just a machinist, you're a videographer! Really compelling shots. Was a little surprised that those pipes weren't threaded standard pipe thread, i.e. tapered, threads. Seems standard.
Watching you from Trinidad for many years now always very detail reminds me of my young machinist days ,good vids for those who wants to be one.love how you finish on journal sizes
5/8" DOC.... wow. Adam you do live by the motto "Go Big or Go Home"
Back when Manual machines were King . Just a level of pride in making a part with a manual machine vs. CNC Love the slo-mo shots.
First time I really saw how much the feedrate affects the temperature. As soon as you started to crank it up the cooling really had to work. Nice, thanks!
Loved the slow motion. Mesmerized watching the cut and the chips flying
I especially like the "measure twice - cut once " method on the pipe...... As always, a joy watching your vids
Nice work Adam
Good to see the K&T back up and running
OUTSTANDING, those first chips on the Mill looked like spiral roll pins,thanks for the video, funny we hung some pendant lights in our kitchen some time ago,the in stock pipes were also to long,they wanted to order shorter ones,we shortened and threaded same all's good🤗😎🤗😎
I always enjoy your videos. When I was a young man I spent many hours with my machines but as my health started going downhill I had to give them up because the strength in my hands and diminished so much and I was afraid of wrecking something.
your overall knowledge of the type of work you do is amazing....thank you for sharing
Machining I can cope with but identifying ferrous metals is pretty much a black art to me. Alu, Brass, Copper (accidentally alphabetical...d....?) I have some familiarity with. Cast Iron, of one form or another I'd recognise but steels - could be anything ;)
Yesterday, my arc welding adventure started. I've done it before ~ 30 years ago on an odd job - quite well - for someone with a naturally shaky hand but I'm thinking that was more by accident than design - now, having seen the box of welding rods suggest what current to use with them, I'm fractionally more clued up than I was ! The welder - which I estimate to be about 70 years old got a service yesterday and with a voltmeter I discovered a little more about the two ranges of output it has. It is also due for some new welding leads !
You always make me laugh whenever the video goes slo-mo. I know you do that because you love to see chips fly 😀
That machine is a beast! Excellent operator as well. Great video.
They still have so many of these machines at Portsmouth Navel ship yard V.A. and New Port News Ship building V.A. cool seeing so many different kinds all lined up in a row. Including the Giant versions. When I was in the Navy 93 - 04😎👍
You work in one of the machine shops over there?
@@MachineShopMasse Na I admired them while in the navy and as a floating dry dock worker.
Are they for sale?
@@ryanb1874 Highly unlikely they make their own back up replacement parts in house for all their machines. The cases are probably the only thing original. The new machines don't compare to the old ones. www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1RLNS_enUS947US948&tbs=lf:1,lf_ui:2&tbm=lcl&sxsrf=ALeKk00ioCCrFRMjk3L_iHTM1noLmYPP5g:1626579724275&q=newport+news+shipbuilding+va+machine+shops&rflfq=1&num=10&ved=2ahUKEwie2qfV2evxAhVYGs0KHbtfDHsQtgN6BAgNEAQ#rlfi=hd:;si:;mv:[[37.26417726865166,-76.09521486409415],[36.821338297987005,-76.80932619221915],null,[37.04308068570599,-76.45227052815663],11]
Never a dull moment. I like playing on the manuals at work have yet to experience, or learn, the threading function. Something ive been wanting to try.
With what machine, like creating a worm with all the gearteain involved in a horizontal mill?
Adam - the slo-mo shots are awesome! I love the sound your key makes on the jaws.... Makes the end of my week to see you'v posted another video. Always look forward to them. Thank you!!!
One of the most best slow mo cut that really give meaning.
You could be a renowned professor teaching a new generation of machinists old school technique, patience and perspective. Wait, that's what you do now!
Please keep up your very informative videos. Thanks.
Oh man, Classic Abom79, giving his machine a good workout.
Love listing to the mill work hard. What it was designed for.
Chip of the Week...
Those chips look like roll pins coming off there when you upped the feed rate !
Thanks Adam. Great content as usual. Especially liked the close up of the thread cutting.
That vise held well, I'd a chickened out and put a stop at the end of the test slot. Combination of sharp/true cutter sounded nice. That feed is WOW! Ya people either need a new thing or they gotta fix the old thing a fundamental truth!
Those horizontal cutters made great chips. Looking forward to the face milling!
Nice work and demonstration. Thanks for the look.
You do really good work. You're good at helping friends and other people.
A K&T like yours is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool how the cutter seems to be rotating faster than the mill
That was really cool!! I’ve never seen a milling head like that before! It works really well!
Doesn't anyone send you stuff anymore? I loved when you talked and showed items what fans have sent you in the start of every SNS video :)
Yeah,me to!
Really enjoyed those slow motion parts, it made the chips look even better, and I could understand how they were stacking up like that. I can't recall if you're submitting pictures for chip of the week at this time but those seem to qualify.
those slo-mo shots were delightful to say the least. machinists ASMR at its finest.
Watching you work is looking over the shoulder of a master. I've learned more from you than I have reading books.
You learn machining from book?
Very nice Adam. Thank’s for the demonstration. It’s good to experience what it’s like to see a machine cut with an even chip load. Seems like a lot of machines cut on a fraction of the available teeth.
in trade school, the only horizontal mill they had in the machine shop was not properly secured to the floor. the vice project we had to build involved using a 1.25" staggered carbide insert cutter to cut a groove similarly deep. that thing was throwing off blue chips like a machine gun and making a small earthquake at the same time.
In my schooldays, the 2 metalwork rooms mainly had lathes and foundry equipment - casting aluminium. There was a small shaper which rarely got used by the teacher, never saw any pupils use it. More recently, I've read a historic document on local education and it mentions a milling machine but I never saw one. Pillar drills were there and one of the rooms had a nice little power hacksaw.
Oh my, what incredible shots!
Nice to see a decent bit of horizontal milling.
When I worked for an electrical contractor, we cut and thread those light fixture hanging pipes all the time to get a specific look the customer wanted. Just used our Rigid pipe threader, similar to what plumbers use. I find it a little interesting that your customer couldn't have an electrical contractor do it, whatever...
Yea, sending 12 bucks each of light hangars to a machine shop is kinda extreme
Is probably a sign of doing things the old ways are disappearing. Nowadays, it's surprising there's any metal at all in those tubes :)
Visually very satisfying to watch, and very reminiscent of chocolate shavings, so I almost expected them to be poured out on a metal cake afterwards! Abomb79 levels of metal removal!
Dn’t start the whole “it’s cake!” thing al over again 😂 (but yes, every time he does a shaper video I think ‘that would be cool with foodstuffs ;)
Slo-mo was awesome! I'm not a machinist but I do like to watch the chips fly.
That looked like the fastest roll pin making machine I've ever seen! :)
Another interesting video. From
the camera view those chips look just like roll pins. First cut they’re nice and bright, second deeper cut a light straw color.
Our little shop in Indiana in the 70s had both a horizontal and a vertical K and T . They were really good old workhorses. The horizontal mill had a 440 motor but I ran it on 220 without any problem…. Just avoided any high speed milling. Heavy cuts….slow speed… no problem. Incidentally, both machines had mechanical feeds. We had a couple of Bridgeports for all the lighter work. ….. with Travedial…..no DRO!
That horizontal mill and the shaper are my favorite machines you own.
She didn't even stutter when you increased your feed rate by 200%.
Shaper work is so relaxing! Great to fall asleep to at night.
Thanks for sharing with us Adam, those machine’s sure make the job so much easier. Great job!🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
That slo-mo was gorgeous!!
Paitently waiting for you to start a stand for that big old Reed vise! I miss those fabrication/machining videos, like the weld/rotating table build.
what a great chips that can make damascus forging wow
Those big face mills are still my favorite I think, but those big horizontal cutters are awesome as well! Way cool chips.
A bunch of wonderful 6's and 9's!!!
Kind of like ASMR for machinist watching the chips fly 👍
That Mill is a beast! And those chips, beautiful. It’s wonderful to see you keeping the old machines alive, and your skills sharp.
Your making some awesome roll pins😉
Looked like a pile of roll pins. I got to get the parts for my k&t mill to cut horazonal. Great video.
Wow! Mass produced split pins!
Great stuff. More Horizontal milling Please. Total newbie, just bought my first mill and its a horizontal. G
Do you have a YT channel ? Everyone else has gone with vertical mills s I'd love to see the same processes done on a H mill !
Cool slow-mo at 9:46, that cutter is badass! So is the machine! Looks like ur making roll-pins!
I even put the playback speed on .25X 😂 what a glorious machine
Wow. The camera strobing makes it look like everything is moving in the wrong direction.. Thanks, I always enjoy!
If you blink just right it looks like it’s going the right way.
quite smooth once it gets into the full cut
Be pretty cool to get with smarter every day to really see how different tools make different chips.
Hehe , Those Side and Face Disc Type Cutters are very very very quick in removing material , Big big cuts 🌸🌸
Imported ceiling fan down rods. Man I did 1000s of them back in the 1990s you doing great better than factory.
Antique Truck Show September 5th in Harford PA at the Harford Fair grounds, great opportunity for some videos!
Great video. Very skilled craftsman.
Love these machines, K&T rocks 👍👌✊️… wishing you well from 🇬🇧
If the machine was better than mine I'd agree. It and the Cincinnatis are in a league above the Bridgeports but seeing these 'good' machines has blown me away as to how good my machine is. A VERY LUCKY purchase for £800 in the early 90s. With Dad wondering whether to get it or not and neither of us knowing much about millers, we've accidentally ended up with a real gem (G. Dufour type 61)
Looks like a good candidate for "Chip of the Month."
I believe those thread on in the other direction. I have put together my share of ceiling fans & then some. Nice work as always.
That's not logical !
That should win Chip Of the Week for sure..
Excelente trabajo maestro y muy eficientes esas herramientas bendiciones.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching it.
Sehr gut gemacht👍👍
Dude, those chips are money!
packed in cosmoline would make Squatch253 proud!
Great video 👍 Nice slowmo action .
Beautiful chips
That could be a chip of the month award.
Those mill chips would look cool in a resin table top.
Absolutely, really good idea for a project.
Quality content as usual Adam !
Those metal chips would make a great fill for Micarta knife scales. I’ll buy some from you Adam!!
Really cool looking chips
Those chips, especially at the higher feed speed look like they would make nice roll pins.
That girl was realy hungry for some chip :) Nice vid as always Adam.
7:03 I finally understand how the Italians make those funky pasta shapes 😂
Never saw a big block of semi-hard pasta on a milling machine. Have to use Marina or Alfredo coolant.
I was waiting on that cylinder to shoot out of your vise into your Monarch, lol. Nice video.
No end stop - technically 'a safety feature' - if things jammed up, it'd get pulled out of the vice ! With an end stop, a jam-up would be resolved when something broke - cutter, vice or whatever !
Awesome 👏 always fun to watch !!
Slow motion was very nice!
Adan,
Always liked using staggered tooth cutters as they dont hammer like a straight tooth cutters do. Not so straight forward to resharpen though . Yes a bit old fashioned but works really well. Done loads of this type of milling years ago.
If you climb mill cutters will stay shaper longer but the mill has to have a backlash eliminator on the table screw .
Be warry of those mist sprays as the mist with the oil is dynamite on your lungs with the oil suspended in the air which is so easily absorbed through the lungs and into the blood stream.
very nice job as always! I love NOGA tools too, but I am more careful about my hands near the knives :) few times injured already :)
Trust me, you could sell those chips. That was so cool!!
Very impressive
I don’t know anything about milling steel, but those looked like perfect chips
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos I am from a very sad South Africa
Thanks for sharing!
Nice machine
Nice tool
Nice cut
Nice guy
Nice video
Need i say more?
You are a
Nice fan
Nice comment
