I wasn't going to subscribe to another engineering channel, I already get too many notifications to watch all of them. But given the gentleman host, beautiful shop, and substantial project, how could i not?! So very very cool. I wish I found you earlier!
He made it look so simple when I know it must have been quite the swearfest. That sliding back and forth was so sexy. Probably why that part of the video was excised - too much [BLEEP] to get past TH-cam analytics. LOL.
LOL, I have had project of the same that I had to work a bit harder than that, but it only took a couple bead positions to make it that easy. All cursing was thinking about divorce issues, but even that has passed without out to much bleeding. ;{)
When i was a young man that was working as a millright in the 70s we had a 96 inch Devileg jig mill that a factory serviceman and i aligned the colleum to the bed with a lazer useing it like a transit.I turned the levelling bolts and he told me where.Way to go Keith,that K&T is really something.
This was a project that demonstrated your ability to get the most of the machines you have presently. You have to work with what you have, not with what you want. You were able to align the bearings with your trusty ol' K-T. As for your welding, it shows that you have put down a few miles of bead before this project. Truly a task result to be proud of.
Even though I've been retired many years seems the knack is still with me many and various set-ups template reproduction,and machining of wallowed out receptacles,pin alignment material replacement and build-up. It's still fun to me!!!
Dear Keith Another very interesting video! With respect to the laser edge finder sent to you, I think the gentleman included the black polarizing filter on the "business end" of the tool. You can rotate the black bezel and this should "focus" the laser dot to make it bigger or smaller. Thus if you want to actually centre the dot, you can make it much smaller to give you more precision. I hope that may be of some use. I own one of these gizmo's and while I don't use it very often, it has come in handy for some odd jobs. Paul
Absolutely love your video’s Keith. What a lovely job you’ve done. Let’s hope that the owner has educated the operatives on lubrication of these pins & bushings. 👊
Great series. It’s not the job, but the way you approach it. You are an inspiration, and yes I have a bobcat that needs very similar work done. Thanks for the videos, JB San Diego.
Love the video as always, and the fact you go through the comments to like so many of them, just awesome! I looked up the laser center finder out of curiosity and it seems there is a way to re-align them, the instructions are on the website. Should make it a lot more useful in the shop!
Thank you for the time taken to film, edit and upload this extremely educational series. As per usual, you have found ways to utilise methods that may not necessarily be so commonly known to many viewers, yet have maintained the uncompromising standard of workmanship that the followers of your channel have come to expect. Cheers from Indonesia.
A horizontal boring machine might have been the perfect solution, but as always, it's not the only solution. An excellent video as always. Regards Dennis.
I now believe I am in good company as far as how to align 2 bores goes. I used a 22 caliper rifle bore alignment laser a couple of years ago to perform the identical alignment.
Excellent fabrication, and welding Keith. Great use of the centre laser, and correct checking for angular and axial runout. Many thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
I would imagine you could turn the spindle on to project a ring to make centering up with the laser easier. That would work much the way the laser I used to level my barn when I built it as it spun a mirror at high speed to cast a line from a single laser point. Not super bright output but it worked!
Great series Keith, and a great repair! I’ve been checking each day to see when this next episode would come out. Game of Thrones doesn’t have anything on you. Thanks for the hard work and keeping the channel going while you are setting up your new shop 👍🏼🏆
New subscriber here was nice watching you do this repair. I did the same kind of repair work years ago working in a job shop I was lucky we had a Lucas b60 boring mill so set up was easier with the large table 4 foot by 8 foot . Sure miss this kind of work was the most rewarding job I ever had. Now do production cnc I’m so bored pushing buttons I wanna cry most of the time . Thanks Tim
Hi Keith, thanks for the video, spot on work and camera shots as usual, the end shot of the large mill cutter boring away reminded me of those big tunnelling machines,lol . As always you've shown us lesser mortals how to getter done! . View from your window looks like you got snow, none here yet in the uk,Best wishes, Stuart uk.
Keith, to this day every time I see a new video from you everything else gets put aside until I watch it, and as always great stuff. When you were aligning things up for boring it reminded me of something my grandad always said " if you are going to be good at this you must first learn how to cheat" . Best of luck on your future endeavors.
Talk about making a silk purse out of a sows ear. Great job I hope your customer appreciates your craftsmanship I'm thinking most shops would have passed on this job. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. We are not worthy We are not worthy!!
Keith this has been a very interesting, entertaining, and educational, series. The alignment solution, using the out of alignment laser, was nicely done. Keeping you in my prayers that your upcoming shop move will go smoothly with as little stress as possible. You know you are gonna find a few things that you thought were lost, or forgot you have!
It still cost the owner less to repair than replace. If you don't want to pay Mr. Fenner's rates, follow proper maintenance schedules. The only thing that comes free is trouble. It will find you; you don't have to go searching.
Have to read the shop labor rate sign on the back wall of the shop... it’s not the cost of the repair, It’s the cost of the dammage you cause... good one!
I have one of those lasers, it got to be more of a pain than helper. As mentioned the laser can be centered if you pull the black polarizer away a bit. And as mentioned you can turn the polarizer to get a smaller dot. But what I found was that the shank never clamped back in the same place in a collet. A spent a bunch of time getting the shank on mine to be more circular, and dedicated a collet to it, but it still requires adjustment ever single time I put it in my mill. The big problem is the shank end, if it was cut out of steel and ground to be centered and the same diameter over its length, it would be way better. If you decide you want to make a new end cap/shank, let me know so I can buy one for mine. I need 1/2 inch on the shank.
All these new laser formats now are great. I am always using various types for soooo many things. Well bud this has come along really well. Having flux free welds as soooo nice when boring these buildups.Fun post old friend.
Pierre's Garage, well said. My Father taught me this, When you do not have what you want, you use what you have got! This is a classic example of those words shown by a very clever Man, Keith. Cheers to all and Happy New Year. John, Australia.
Some nice variety in how to solve the problems Keith. The gear one accumulates can really help. I liked the large corn cob solving the interrupted cut. Without that capability a lot more weld material was my choice, and that would have needed extra machining. Without having the K&T and chain block etc., boring with a bar through the good eye is the only way I can think of (like the mobile line boring lads do). Hope you have plenty of room in the new shop mate. I know could reactivate some more traditional machines for ever more complex repairs.
Nice shop sign and an awesome repair . Even with your price for the repair I bet he saved a bunch of money . And may not could even find a part like that. As always great fix
Cut a set of concentric grooves in the plug you use for the laser target similar to the grooves on the lathe chuck. Then it won't matter if the laser is dead on center. Job turned out great. That final fit and alignment is always a potential stresser.
Great work as always Keith. I checked the laser company's website and they have alignment instructions. A 5/64 allen key on the front four set screws should straighten it right out and give you a useful tool. Thanks for your videos!
Saw that big cutter and didn't think for a second that it wouldn't be up to the job, lol. Just needs the operator of the equipment it fits on to grease it up every day it's used now.
It looks as if the boring bar is doing well in boring a good hole but I was wondering if a larger diameter bar would work better? Maybe less flex for the length of the bar. Anyway, you know what you're doing. You keep doing your shop videos because we like them.
I am a welder that does portable line boring at a CAT dealer. It's great to see how this work done by a machinist who welds vs a welder who plays machinist.
Nice work Keith some say yes it's easy when you have the right equipment I agree but you need to know how to use it. would like a few shoots of it fitted if poss
Hey Keith, that part looks like the quick attach Andrew Camarata uses on hid skid-steers to latch various buckets and grapples. His channel like this one is totally awesome. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
It's the quick attach that's on dozens of different models of machine, from skid steers to ditch witches, to farm tractors. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of machines use that style plate.
Awesome video! Gotta enjoy the critical thinking. Should mention though cylinders have a chrome plating on the rods makes them harass and precise. Any dents in that shaft will promptly result in an oil leak every time that section travels through the seal rings. Hydraulics can be super finicky that way.
I created a similar tool using a cheap laser pointer from an office supply store and a machined aluminum housing. To fix the runout of the laser with its housing I used several pairs of small set screws installed radially in the housing to push the laser around (adjusting pitch and yaw) until I couldn't perceive any motion of the beam over the desired distance while rotating the tool. In my case I was centering up a transmission output shaft on a differential for an engine swap application that was approx 60" away so initially the error was pretty significant. Something to try if you or anyone else watching has a need to remove this concentric error.
Nice repair, but we expect nothing less. 👍 On the laser use, rotating under power gives a more consistent circle that is easier to align with the target point.
it seems to me that having the runout on that laser would work fine for finding center at distance. its orbit is still concentric with the spindle allowing you to sight in on a center with some markings.
Hi Keith, I was very entertained by your video and give Kudos and thanks to you for sharing your knowledge and skills on YT.

I fear that this is a dying art in the USA, but you are certainly doing your part to keep it alive (somewhere) by sharing it. I wonder how many other countries are watching your videos? Did you ever look in the YT analysis data to see what other countrymen are watching you?
@@KeithFenner my curiosity with that pointed question about other countries was aimed at the idea that perhaps these are the ones that are taking food off our table now :-(
Man it's too bad the laser didn't quite line up, hopefully it is repairable, kinda looked like you were pushing the limits on your space there hopefully the new shop will give you a little more elbow room. Thanks
I've had one of those laser indicators for about 5 years or so and use it all the time. Found out about it at a SF Bay Area Engine Modelers display. I know how to use a edge finder and a wiggler, but the laser is faster.
There should be an adjustment for the diode. The laser diode sits on a PCB, that PCB has a small grub screw that raises or lowers it, at least those i've used in the past have such a thing. Alternatively, you can simply pop the head off and shim it until it becomes true (which i've also done).
Your a total professional that doesn't wast time . With that said, how many hours would you have in a job like this? thanks for your sharing your knowledge and we appreciate all you do Keith .
While you were quickly setting up that second camera angle, you left that big corn cob idling in the bore, rubbing. I was always taught to not leave a cutter rubbing without engaging a cut, especially in harder materials as it dulls the cutting face... that didn’t seem to bother you. I’d like to hear some thoughts...
Sometimes I build large couplers and ill take and weld what we call a "tac" bar on.. from one ear to the mate and helps control it during weld.. just an idea.. your most likely familiar with the technique just thought I'd throw it up in the comments
Keith/ if you made a sleeve for the stem of the laser pointer and bored it off center so that it acts as an eccentric couldn't you correct the lasers alignment?
I wasn't going to subscribe to another engineering channel, I already get too many notifications to watch all of them. But given the gentleman host, beautiful shop, and substantial project, how could i not?! So very very cool. I wish I found you earlier!
I AM impressed with the beautiful slide fit on that quick connect shaft through the welding process. That’s not easy!

"... it is only lacking SOME material on that far side." Boy, is that an understatement !
Amazing video Keith!. You took us from use of stick welding, thru use of laser to that "over-cool" big endmill. Love it!! All the best from Denmark!!

Thanks very much for the great video series. It's nice to see what the big boy tools can do.
I had one of the laser tools where I used to work. I am reasonably sure there was a way to adjust the laser to be centered on the axis of the body.
You asked on Facebook if we wanted to see a video of it, I voted yep, was not disappointed enjoyed it very much👍😊
Thanks and good luck with the move.
The laser is adjustable for center with an allen wrench.
