Machining With The BIG Lathe | Large Lathe Work
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- See our BIG Lathe in action and making chips! This video is a job showing step by step machining the ends of 2 large steel tubes in our big 7 metre lathe. The steel tubes are approximately 4 metres (12’ feet) long and 350mm (13 3/4” inches) in diameter and will eventually be a part of a Toomey Earthmovers All-in-one Laser bucket. After the machining we also need to weld in drive plates and end caps to each tube. We hope you enjoy seeing the big lathe in action!

In this video we are using:
- Shenyang No.1 CW6280B Lathe
- WIA Weldmatic 500i welder

Your wife deserves some kind of an award for videography or something like that she does a great job I think she’s improving greatly. She was good in the beginning she’s great now
WOW thank you very much!!! 🤩🤩🤩
she's always right in the middle of exactly what I'm wanting see!!!
She's good enough that there should be a a reward for industrial/manufacturing/steampunk documentation award!!
Amen!
I assume that you are paying her standard union rates for her wonderful work. If not, then I am going to file a grievance against you.
I just love Curt's no BS approach to setting a piece in the lathe.
Get it in, and get cutting.
Yeah! He made good time on these it appears.
True yet when the job requires attention to detail and precision machining practices Kurtis doesn't hesitate to give the best , IMO true professional
You and Karen are a great team. Being an old machinist myself, although never having worked on or machined anything remotely as large as the work you do, I am fascinated watching you work on these large projects. The way you and Karen work together so well is a joy to see.
Hey Gary thanks mate we appreciate it and glad the video was enjoyed!
Talk about customized work . These two are just great to watch as well. Love all of your vids. Great shout out to " Sir" Isaac @ I C weld.
Second that! I’ve got a Bridgeport and a LeBlond crammed into my one car garage that I don’t get to use enough. I love to see all the work up close. I also really appreciate the honesty of the work. I learned what I do know from a few semesters of high school shop and the internet. Seeing that I’m actually doing things pretty okay for an amateur is helpful. You’ve given me confidence and taught me more. Your welding is like, inspired from within man!
Do you blow out the metal shavings from the tube before welding?
@@jameshuntington9037 How many of Kurtis' videos have you watched? What is the quality of his work? That should answer your question.
Man I wish I had seen your work 25 years ago before I went to college to study engineering. Now, in my 40's I'm only truly happy in my shop building something or welding something to repair it. Had I known how interesting this work is and how fulfilling it can be I would have skipped engineering and thousands of hours spent sitting in front of a computer screen and just learned skilled trades earlier in my life.
If we want kids to go into the skilled trades, and we very much need them to, they need to be shown these kinds of videos as a way to introduce them to both how important these jobs are and just how rewarding they can be.
Well said brotha man!
You're certainly not the first person to express those sentiments. 'S a shame everybody's locked into the "You must go to college (and bury your entire career in student loan debt (not that THAT's got anything to do with why everyone talks up college :P ) ) in order to be worthwhile!" mentality.
53 yrs in this trade. Wouldn't trade it for a debt free loan, no way ,no how!!! I loved explaining simple fixes to so called college educated engineers, made my whole day😂
Kurtis if you ever get in too deep Australia has always been on my bucket list 🤘
Absolutely 💯
Primary difference between an engineer and a machinist : dirty hands.
IC Weld is an amazing welder with amazing skills with the “gas axe”. Glad to see your collaboration with him on your channel.
Right on, Torch Norris!
Isacc is a joy to watch
I was a class A tool n die maker for 34 yrs. and I really enjoy watching your videos. It make me long to do it all over again. Been retired for 15 yrs.
A machine shop channel that shows machining. Refreshing concept!
Thanks for taking time to film, edit, and upload these videos.
keeping it real over here 👍
homeless is a large part of the fun watching your channel. he gets confused with so many cool toys and treats ,what a great pup he is. your chanel is awsome !!!!
Thanks for the memories. My dad was a journeyman machinist. I couldn"t visit his work while in operation but after closing see the piles coiled shavings.
That's great glad it brought back some good memories
I’ve worked on heavy equipment for over 40 years here in the US and banana measurement has worked dam well thanks.
I've been looking forward to your next video all week! Love your content, your attitude, and your professionalism! Thanks for such good content!
Awesome! Thank you!
the weld shots looked more phenomenal than usual this time!
Quickly becoming one of my favourite channels, and I have no engineering or machinist experience! Really satisfying seeing a job all come together.
Glad you enjoy it!
You have tools and equipment that i never imagined were available. I'm 80 and am fascinated with
the machines and tools you have,
Great to see that your work is going towards local primary production equipment manufacturing.
Absolutely! Love being able to support Australian made machinery
great job mate, I'm a boilermaker myself, and I definitely don't want to tell you how to do your job because it's probably something you already know, but when I do similar jobs I normally chuck some bolts in the threaded holes to avoid them catching any spatter. Saves the trouble at the end cleaning them out just in case it happens. Keep up the great work!
😅
😅😊😅😅😊😅😅😅😅😅😅
Love this channel... Not only because of the big variety of jobs, but for how well you detail and explain everything. Great content and great people!!
Thanks mate!
Expectations are just that, Communications with your customers is a valued asset from both side of business, you have done a thorough job at both diagnosis and communication. Customers expect your obvious professionalism. Great Job. Karen as always a great job. and I appreciate your volume balancing the most.
Kurtis really cracks me up when he loses it laughing, and then Karen not being able to hold it watching him lose it. Love it, and love Homey too. Thanks for sharing.
I have to echo one of your viewer’s recent comment….while I am amazed at you ability, you wife certainly deserves numerous kudos for excellent cinematography! Great job to both of you!!
Karen is doing a great job editing.
Huge material.
Huge Lathe.
As always, thanks for the video...
I have been machining ( manual and CNC ) for over 40 years and I can tell you in 40 years I have never seen a better manual lathe operator as good as you. Keep up the great job. In a other video you edge found wit a rod and feeler gauge. Had to do it myself many of time I could not reach with a 1/2 or .200 edge finder. I personally own 3 Starrett of both just encase one brakes.Thanks again for the great videos.
Thank you Team CCE, your videos make the week worth working through. Karen, great editing and Kurtis what can you say other than great work. Have a amazing weekend guys.
Always mate thanks for watching!
I like the way you get your hands in there. Some people are too obsessed with health and safety. The job needs to be done asap.
Common sense and comfort in your environment is the best asset for a quick turnaround.
Well tbh health and safety are way more important than getting any job done
I love how these cylinders ring while they're being worked. I get that that's something you want to avoid since those kinds of vibrations can ruin precision parts, but there's something about that sound that I love.
Yep, some ringing means bad stuff, but cutting tubing like this will make a ring. Think in terms of like a bell?
I've cut a lot of tubing when manufacturing well pump casings etc., some a lot bigger than this stuff and typically thinner wall. Essentially the same operation he did here except for flange rings. It about always makes a ring like that.
Now, if a sound like that starts changing significantly kill your machine or just run! Lmao!
I have watched IC weld before. Fascinating fabricator too. I’m partial to milling work and you have the whole package shop with all the toys, multitude of projects and the best video crew ever!
thanks mate glad you enjoy the channel
That has to be the longest lathe I have ever seen. I imagine leveling it took some time. You make this all look so simple.
Yeah there is quite a few hours in levelling
My thoughts exactly. Now I know how time consuming it is.
I have seen a lot of channels and this channel is by far one of the best and I hope you all are reaping the rewards of your hard work. This is what youTube was made for. Thank you for sharing.
thank you very much we appreciate it!
5:33 I'm kinda impressed how fast this machine spins the ~600 kg up
I like the IC Weld channel. He teaches as he works and explains things pretty well.
The editing is still light years ahead of anyone else. Karen really nailed this one with the multi machine angles. Kurtis I still love you but 1:30 in and I’m hooked.
Thank you 🥰 Karen
I had the same feeling as I watched Karen’s ECU montages! I love what Kurtis and Karen create in their own way.
Karen, you give Master Classes of videography every time an ECC posts another episode!
Best wishes for health and happiness from Buffalo, NY.
RL
Makes you feel like part of the family!
Indeed! There are many machining channels but Karen and Kurtis’s skills are top notch.
Absolutely! She gets better with every video. Kurtis, you are one lucky dog!
I love the fact that you are instrumental in the customer's product. Your professionalism plus their engineering / design is a win/win for your local economy. I can see you one day training their staff if things take off.
Top notch machining and video, and as always homie never disappoints. Great work you guys!!!
I C Weld is right up there in my top five favorite channels along with a crew in Oz that do some chunky engineering videos. Top stuff as usual!
Another great video, Kurtis your skills are brilliant, no dramas get the job done. As many have said before Karen's filming and editing tie the whole lot up. Great team.
I did my 5 year apprenticeship as a fitter and turner on large lathes like this in a jobbing shop. Worked in many workshops but my favourite was working in a machine shop, machining mechanical seals at such close tolerances
Great video, incredible camera work and editing. Needless to say, your machining and welding skills are top notch. The way Homeless took the bite outta the chew toy is almost scary.
I run Hobart fabcor edge every day doing structural stingers. Love that deposition! Like turning on a garden spigot.
Hey mate, juts FYI, that thing weighs 600+ kg, and you picked it up with a choked purple sling. I know those slings have a 7:1 MBS to SWL rating, but choking a 1000kg sling will bring it's rated strength down quite a bit (usually close to 50%, but it's dependent on many factors). I'd hate to see you drop something that heavy! Probably best to use a 2000kg or higher sling to lift stuff that heavy in a choked configuration. Thanks for the content mate, love the channel!
ive seen a hand full of I C Weld videos over the last couple years late at night. Never thought i would end up randomly watching someone from across the pond mention him. Im not apart of the industry at all but sometimes i just enjoy watching things get fixed
G’day Kurtis. Another great video mate. That big lathe is incredible.
Toomey Earthmovers is an awesome company. I was blown away when I visited them on New Year’s Day and did their shop tour video. I think that’s when I popped in quickly to say g’day to you. Say hi to Karen for us. Cheers mate 🍻. Aaron
Hey mate yeah they've got a fantastic setup in their workshop and no doubt why they're so busy with the great machines they are building. That was the time you dropped in to see me, time sure is flying. Take care mate
I really appreciate that you talk about the machine these parts will be used on.
thanks for the feedback!
Love your content, my shop does a lot of the same type of work you do here in Washington State, I don't know why I can work on and stare at cylinders being built/repaired all day at work, and then watch videos about the same thing at home 🤣 but it's somehow relaxing
I am also from WA from. Its always relaxing to watch someone else doing it. I'm a millwright, I never get tired of watching someone Weld.
It is always easy to understand the explanations shown at the beginning of the videos.
I can understand where the component is used.
That is one of the most important things, and something this channel always does a good job explaining. It really helps us viewers understand the context of the part(s) being worked upon.
Thank you team. That big lathe is wonderful.I am so glad you are in touch with Issac at IC welding. I learn so much when I watch you work. Homeless is a sweet pup but I would not want to be one of his chew toys. HA HA HA.
Time to start ANZAC weekend.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Time will not weary them, nor the years Condemn.
At the setting of the sun and in the morning, *we will remember them* .
LEST WE FORGET
You know guys your safety officer really loves you as I'm sure you love him to. Keep up the great videos we really enjoy them.
👍👌💪 Something we could ONLY DREAM of 50 years ago !!! 🤙😍😍😍😍😍 🙏 ALWAYS a treat to watch you in "ACTION "
Quite impressive to go from a machine that Curtis was about to cut into pieces, to a machine he trusts enough to sell his other machine! He done a lot of work to get it to that point, but I'm glad it worked out! Keep up the great content and great editing by Karen, very interesting stuff!
Watching this video while running cuts on a ballistic missle tube core..weld preps for the crown plate to be wellded on..7 in G L 5axis ,old but reconditioned with fanuc controls..smaller part..12 tons..on 12 foot floor rotary table..always enjoyed lathe work..made many from scratch parts in maintenance machining..45 years in the trade..18 shops..three states..love this trade.
Kurtis,you said you just completed a job out west! Given you are on the Gold Coast, that is a big paddock you are referring to, could you narrow it down a bit? Keep up the good work 🙂
Hey mate I was out at Gatton
Wow. That was some world famous lathe you sold there. Basically millions of people have watched that thing work for countless hours. Hope the new owner treats it with love :-)
Hey Great video as always. love the content, I've a weird question, just mildly curious as to your power bill, since you have so many machines etc.
About 70 Solar panels on the roof take care of the power bill
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering oh awesome, was hoping for an answer like that
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering
Is there a possibility of getting a quick drone shot of those solar panels during an opening sequence?
RL
Great dramatic shots of the swarf coming off
Awesome sound right from the start with the plastic wrapping being removed - Top Marks!
Great job girls, guys and mutt, I worked at a big power generating station in the USA for 42 years and just retired, I had the chance to work with a lot of amazing machinist and welders over the years and you are right there with the best of them buddy. I wished I lived closer and I would hang out there and sweep your floors and pet your hound dog just for fun. Great job and Karen ( the giggler) is the best video lady ever, keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching!
I like these guys, a no frills ,no nonsense way to get stuff done!
right on thanks for watching 😎👍
Great job. I was doing about the same job on my lathe today. Only difference was my tube was about 14mm in diameter and I had to thread the inside.
Well that is a huge unit you got your hands on now. Congratulations on get it up and putting it in the game.
Simple job but very high quality, you can see Kurtis exerting a lot of effort to make a very good outcome, good job 👍
hey Kurtis. You make so nice job i learn so much things from you only by watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the context at the beginning of the video.
Interesting job turning out a structural part rather than a moving part!
Very nice work. It reminds me of a Company I use to work for some seventy years ago when I set-up and ran a 36 inch Lodge and Shipley tracer lathe machining large stainless steel tube forgings that were for Nuclear reactors. Oh how I loved that work. Your post here takes me back those many years and I loved it. Good luck. Jim, Hatboro, PA
I'm no machinist, but I'm mesmerized by your extraordinary skills...
Saturday afternoon, Cutting Edge marathon, greetings from, Córdoba, Argentina!!
I enjoy watching you and your pets //the dog & the birds,your wife does a jam up job on the video's, and ive learned so much from watching you your a perfectionist and it shows keep up the great work
Nice watching someone who's really skilled at their job, also interesting to see how large parts like this are made!
Knowing the problems that you had with this lathe when you first bought it. You have finally worked out the problems.
"Hey young guys" love that!
What a Small world i watch issac weld all the time he knows his stuff
I definitely have to say the video and editing on your guys videos is fantastic!! Best shots and closeups just the right amount of editing and special effects when needed, the slowmoes and montages are places in I dare say the perfect places, and it's about machining. Very enjoyable to watch thank you!
Hey mate thanks for the great comment and feedback it is appreciated
K-dog knows a thing or 2 about camera position and editing. She rocks.
There's just something satisfying about big chips.
Homeless the dog certainly chose the right family. A nice job once again and I'm loving the new lathe.
and very glad he chose us has been the best dog over the years
Bro, you are the coolest machinist, I love watching your work, you're so knowledgeable...and I really like your shop, spotless 👍...thanks for the videos
@24:30 when you darken the exposure so we get this AWESOME close-up!!!! Absolutely cool!!!
I remember working at a machine shop for a while that did parts for the mining industry. While I was there there was a drum on the biggest lathe that i've seen in person. It was a drum for a winch. The bed of the lathe was lower than your big one here but it didn't have any legs. Well, the legs were more like a thick place on the bed that kept the rest of the bed from touching. The bed of it was wider than my personal 12X36 lathe is long. They had put a truck transmission on top of the gearbox (head?) of the lathe to reduce the speed even more than it was designed to go. The drum that they were cutting the cable grooves in was over 8 feet then you add on the sides of the drum. It was huge. Impressed the heck out of me. Wasn't even 30 back then. Funny thing is, I don't think they could have done this job on that huge thing. No steady rest. Don't know if they made them for this machine and the shop didn't own it or they just never made one. Who made this monster? I have no idea. Looked like it was from the WWII era. Also I may have never looked at the name much less remember it. Keep up the great work guys. Thanks for posting.
Not that old. It's a Shenyang - Chinese. In general Chinese heavy machinery is a lot better quality than you'd expect from their lighter products.
I'm just impressed with the synthetic strap that can single strapedly hoist 1,500lbs off the floor.
I love your show and especially your dog. He definitely has some strong jaws!
That lathe is frikkin' huge!
You and Isaac are 2 of my favorite TH-camrs! This is great!
OMG, I'm loving them close-ups
More room = new toys! Also, the "How you doing" line was funny than hell.
The best of the best is always the end part .. so funny and all natural 👍👍👍
Love your show I'm learning something new every time
The best parts of all your videos is the out takes I'm so glad you put them in such a great touch. I'm glad I'm not the only one the goes mind blank when in front of a camera
Glad you like them!
The material is so long.
He knows what he is doing.
Super dangerous.❤️
When doing jobs such as this I always cut a band on each end in the first setup that way should you for some reason ever need to set that part back up in either direction you have an indicatable reference to align back up with and it does not take hardly anymore time to make the cut when it’s all already set up.
Immense enjoyment watching your site. I always learn something new and greatly admire your skills on the variety of work that you do. IC Weld is the other craftsman I enjoy. Thanks from Wisconsin USA.
geezus, that lathe is a beast....
Seeing your video with you so calm, competent and articulate and then at the end...holy sh*t, you work your ass off for us. Thanks!
loved the up-close welding shots, the blue dancing psychedelic mushroom stems with exploding heads keep me entranced
Big tube ?. Like Crocodile Dundee knife scene. My old man worked on a lathe with a seat on the tool post 20.7 metres between centres. In a ship yard. My old man put me onto your channel. Great work. Nice to see a small business thriving. Love the outtakes
Very wholesome channel. Love to see a bit of Australia still alive
That lathe is a monster lol really enjoyed that kurtis saved the day this morning kids were driving me crazy lol all the best mate
Great video.. Have a wonderful weekend Curtis, Karen and Homeless
That is sooo much fun to watch.
God bless you!
I love your videos. I can't stop watching them. I am living in Hull Quebec.
You are the man. Pierre (artist)
When you said "more of a refined machine" I half expected a Star Wars reference with "...from a more elegant age".
Between the outtakes and Homeless, just a riot of entertainment!!
