This Was Like a Never Ending Puzzle! | SIP Jig Borer Upgrade | Part 1

  • What we thought would be a quick upgrade job turned out WAY bigger than we planned! Kurtis enjoys using our SIP Hydroptic no 6 jig borer and we have such a large range of tooling now, we wanted to do some upgrades to make using it even better...first up was replacing the broken & missing handwheel off the side of the bridge. This quickly became like a puzzle trying to work out how to remove the broken handwheel hub resulted in the entire leadscrew needing to be removed from the machine. Only to realise we still couldn't get the handwheel hub off the leadscrew shaft! This resulted in the leadscrew ending up in the lathe to machine apart the retaining fixture so the hub assembly could be removed off the shaft...and the puzzle is still not solved!

      All drawn by pencil the original draft then they were put through a copier that contained paper 48"s X 36" (4ft X 3ft) this copy is printed blue also known as "The Blueprint" , their is a specific technique to fold these large paper designs, some maps you'll find at tourism premises still use the same fold techniques.
      It is literally a master craft skill being a draftsman even though today's tech utilises CAD systems the old ways are still taught in schools if doing drafting so each student gets a good comprehensive hands on knowledge of methods employed.
      I went through this old drafting process myself being an engineer 👍

      I should have been an engineer! Instead, I hated school although I did well and stuck in the construction, fabrication, and repair trades. Doing similar work such as fixing old tools or building what I could buy is what my brain seems to live for. If there is a problem, my brain want's to fix it, but my hands have to be part of it. Too bad I didn't know more about engineering when I was growing up. One of my air compressors is a1947 westinghouse which I rebuilt with a sleeve I had my brother machine on his nicer equipment and the other is a later but bigger model that is a real 5hp unit with pressurized lube from an oil pump. My tig welder is a 1965 miller 330 abp. My grandfather was a tool and die maker for the aerospace industry around LA but he passed before I was born.

    I worked at British aerospace in the 80's. In the wind tunnel tool room there was a 1920's SIP jig borer still in use. Sometime in the 70's it had been fitted wit modern electronics ,it was so accurate even after 50 years use that it was used as an inspection machine!

      Monarch is charging $200,000 for a “new” 10EE which is an old casting they buy at auction and then replace with all new parts for everything else, with a repaint. So going from that, a completely new one of these would likely be well over $1 million (with new technology electrics). That’s $1 million US.

      There is a great you tube video on the precision engineering of the original Apollo 7 rocket engines, every single piece of those motors was machined by hand and drawn by hand. There is a reason there is no way to copy those exactly even today, because of how all the pieces were machined by hand by a machinist, who also would solve any problems that came after the parts were actually drafted and built. Furthermore apparently none of the original machinists who built the engine are left alive so there isn't anyone to talk them through how they did what they did.

    My grandfather was Swiss and he did not relinquish his secrets easily, either! 🙂 What an incredible machine that is. I laughed out loud when Kurtis said "or we can just put it back together and use it like it was." Ha! That would be the day. We certainly enjoyed watching this puzzle and can't wait for Part 2. Have a lovely weekend, you three!

It's always encouraging to hear from our supporters, and especially those who understand the challenges that come with any project. You're right, things aren't always as easy as we think they are. But that's part of what makes them so rewarding when we finally achieve our goals. 😎👊

    Some of the machinery revealed in this disassembly was simply awesome. It felt like a mix between old recovered alien technology and how I imagine looking at the inner workings of a gods machinery. None of it looked like it was made by humans 50 years ago. Bravo mankind you really were something!

    Even the fasteners look to be precision made. You could tell the care Kurtis was taking unscrewing them so that the slots did not get chewed up 👍

      It's like watchmaking on the macro scale. Watching someone like Mark Lovick tear into something like a recalcitrant Venus 178, then Kurtis working on that room size jig borer... same sort of off the charts craftsmanship, just move the decimal over four or five places. :D

    Kurtis compressing the clutch in a very sketchy way and Karen says what we all said "uhh ooh". That goes through my head every time I do something like that LOL

  • @jdsstegman
    @jdsstegman 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I have removed something like this before. And in my application, that thicker made washer you mentioned should be pushed on to load the springs and expose the clip. Then once the load on the washer is removed, the clip captures it all and keeps it comming off the end. And because there is always load on the washer, it compressed the c clip in its groove and wedges itself in there and can't come off.
    Snowmobile clutches are made that way too. You have to compress the ramps to expose the snap ring. Not really a traditional snap ring. No where to put pliers on it. It's just a ring. Then once removed, everything comes apart.
    The end is threaded to install a bolt that then has a cup on it to compress the washer, allowing access to the snapring. Then once the snapring is pulled over the groove, the press tool is removed to unload the clutch.

    Gday Kurtis and Karen, what a stressful job this one is, the build quality of the Sip is mind blowing, everything is made to extremely high precision and for when this machine was built is was way before it’s time, keen for the next instalment mate, have a great weekend, cheers

      Hey Matty 👋Tell me about it! This job is definitely giving me a few grey hairs 😅but it was eye opening to see the inner workings, the build quality of the Sip is truly mind-blowing. Everything is made to such high precision, and it's clear that this machine was way ahead of its time when it was built. I'm confident Kurtis will work it out, or he'll end up in the dog house 😂 Take care Matty, chat soon, hi to Bec!

    My husband and I enjoy your videos. My husband is a retired boilermaker of over 49 years working on government owned and run road ferries throughout the state. His work involved constant kneeling as he only had between 800 and 900mm head clearance in the hole of the ferry and had to constantly kneel on ribs and rivets. He watches you kneel while welding and wishes you could bring it up to a suitable height so you do not have to kneel as in later years you will pay for it. H also believes you should have at least a gofer to help cleaning and prep work to take the load off yourself. I really enjoy your machining, your ability to make workshop tools, repairing of hydraulic rams, bucket and blade repairs and very jealous of your machine shop as I only had 2 x 20ft containers to work out of. Keep the videos coming they are great Karen.

    My first job out of high school was as a toolmakers assistant in Adelaide, South Australia in the late 90's. The toolmakers workshop had a similar machine possibly a 6 as it looked slightly smaller. We also had Hercus lathes. Place went out of business in 2005 but I still chat with some of my old work collegues. I still love the old machines and the attention to detail you bring to your work.

    This reminds me of the first time I had to tear down an old teletype machine to the last screw, when I was in the Army. Like an exotic clockwork designed by some engineer who never imagined anyone would ever have to deal with his genius ideas, but himself. Even with a parts manual it was an adventure. These Swiss designers went to the same type of school for unique designs.
