Hey Kyle, I'm an older tool maker in a one man shop within a larger optical coating company. Part of what I do is make parts for the coating machines, it's the part of my job I enjoy most. Your shop is better equipped than mine, so I have to come up with unique methods to make parts that we would otherwise have to farm out. I've been watching your videos for a while now and part of the reason I watch is your commentary on what you're doing and how you're going to get there. Keep up the great work and yes, keep adding commentary.
Definitely think this format works well; keeps the machining part focussed, and then the commentary at the end works well as you can explain everything in context (having done the job).
I am a current engineer for Swaploader. Super cool to see people keeping our hoists on the road. From the image at the beginning this looks like either a SL-505 or SL-545. These hoists were designed in the late 90s and we produced them up until around 2016. If I were to guess this is at least 10 years old and is probably mounted on its second truck. The rollers in question we still produce PN 40H93. The OD of the roller should be 7”. We do make the rollers slightly taller on purpose by an 1/8”. From what I can tell the reason they had issues is because the wear pads on the top of the frame are missing. This would have made the rollers a half inch too tall. The original design has the grease zerk in the pin with a hole down the center and a cross drilled hole to feed the bushings.
You are 100% correct. Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, that knowledge and information gets lost along the way and the people just do the best with what they can.
Good morning Kyle, I love your channel, enjoy your videos whether it is working on your own equipment, repairs, or fabricating something. You put the extra narration into it which helps a novice like me a lot. I'm a retired maintenance person using the machinist world as mostly a hobby keep busy and learning type world vs. setting on the couch watching TV. I have found even I have a lot of experience in the maintenance world from working in sawmills, mining, milling, reduction plants and rolling mills that there is always something new I can learn and most of all different and new ways of doing things. I find your channel is one of the best at explaining and helping me do that. So please, keep on sharing and thank you.
Ya know, you are not the typical machinist that I have associated with for the last 50 years or so. You are a little skinny guy that doesn't look like he can even lift 50 pounds never mind handle large job pieces. Dirty clothes and all you are working your butt off and I'm impressed. Keep working and learning and I wish you all the success you can achieve. You definitely push your equipment to it's maximum so be careful not to break something vital to your future endeavors.
Glad I found your videos. For this project I couldn't help thinking that it would have been great to find stock that was a little more near net shape but at least it wasn't brass. Thanks for posting.
I watched your video about those funky shoe attachments you have and want to thank you for explaining what they are and why you wear them. I have worked on concrete floors for several decades and my feet are wrecked. At the end of the day I could hardly walk after work. I bought a pair of those shoe attachments and after about a week they seem to really help. Thanks and keep on keeping on!
Hello Kyle we all make mistakes. Out of that we learn from our mistakes. The whole life it is a pendicular game - Make good - make mistake - learn from that - and repeat. Greetings from Germany.
At least 1% of the reason I keep watching is the hope that you’ll decide to repaint that arbor press. Other than that, it’s always fun to watch you work. Keep it up!
That explains it all, the Dutch are known for their “special pronounciation” in any language, even in their own😊. Love to see more of your postings. Greetings from Belgium!
The methodology you use is excellent. It is an incentive for many of us who see this not as a job but as an art. Really, go ahead with your projects and keep sharing them on your channel. Congratulations.
Would have been a good idea to freeze the brass bushings before you pressed them into the steel wheel. The fact you shaved the bushings shows the fit is not as tight as it could be.
Hi, this is my first vdio from you. Exellent work. To make a criss cross grease grove cut a long groove (1 /2 turn long) and retract. reset the part 180 degrees and reverse the lathe and cut another groove. that will work. A small recomendation, I think that your busines needs an uplift with rented shirts and pants. Just add $5 to the job and that covers the cost.
I just did a job last weekend that I wish I had not taken, lesson learned for me. It was super simple, 20x 1" x 7/8" spacers with a 3/8" hole in the middle. On any reasonably sized machine it would have take less than an hour to do all of them, but I have a Sherline and these were right at the limit of what I could get it to do reasonably well. It ended up taking me almost 30 minutes for each part. Anyway, point of the story is that some of these cuts you were taking in this video are the size of entire parts I have made in the past :D
I can totally see you making some sort intricate part to power feed your compound, other than the drill adapter. Using a power feed for a mill with a built in battery or something like that. Great video man, always look forward to the next.
Thank you yeah that could work. I don’t really cut tapers that often so it’s kind of a ghetto way to do it, but it does work really well and keeps the lathe compound low profile.
It's always better to learn from others mistakes. My little CM Mini Lathe can only dream about making chips like that. Thanks for sharing, warts and all. It really helps.
I work in a family owned 8 person machine shop. I started out running a manual mill but now I primarily program and run a CNC mill. I say this because even though I operate machines I still enjoy watching others in the same industry. I like your channel because you’re always trying to learn and improve on whatever your working on. All I can say is keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching.
Everything that follows is purely my opinion . . . One of the bigger reasons for the success of certain YT machinists like Adam, Keith, and Josh has been their willingness to focus on the teaching part. With "Mr Pete" it's even more obvious because he was and calls himself a teacher. You've got that too, especially in your closing summaries. People want to follow, they want to be entertained by chip size and shape, but it's even better if they get easy access to knowledge like why chip color can be important.
If you have plans to get into machining larger components, do you anticipate purchasing and restoring either a VBM (vertical boring machine) or a VTL (vertical turret lathe)?
I've got an imperial lathe that I thread metric on. The challenge is that the set of gears you install on an imperial lathe per it's thread table to get a metric feed are about 99.99% of the correct ratio (2.54 to 1) to get your inch lead screw to move MM, but that 0.001% off in ratio means that every time you disengage and re-engage the lead screw, you land in a position that's slightly off where you started. The only way to do metric on an imperial lathe and not have this happen is to put in a 127T gear (when combined with a 50T gear it gets you a 2.54:1 ratio).
Nice job of installing the Zirk recessed at an angle. Once you get the threading starting point issue worked out could you have just rotated the wheels 180 degrees on the lath and have achieved the cross hatch grease channels? One thought that comes to mind is if you want to increase profits by reducing machine time when large amounts of materials must be removed is to use coolant for all cuts and then cut rates can be greatly increased. Those wheel are almost too nice looking to use great job!!
Kyle, I like hearing your thought process as you make decisions along with your honest commentary at the end of the videos. Did you, by chance, weigh the two wheels to see how many of the 271-lbs went int the scrap barrels? Also, is it "safe" to wear your ring while working? The big/heavy parts that you're working with could easily crush your ring onto your finger. Anyway, thumbs up!
Great machining job. I hardly ever turn things that big because I find it a bit boring. I preferred smaller things because the lathes we had were too small, and we could only take smaller cuts, so one of those would take all day, lol.
I like CEE cutting edge engineering. They do the basics of talkinng during thhe work, and then at the end thhey do a little more, and at the very end they show their funny doggo and all the swearing curtis does.
Young man t don't know much about machine work but I love watching these shows you have the perfect personality to build big you keep up the good work and I'll be here with you
I was just going to say now as just a suggestion; test your machine to see about oil groves what setting would work out. Now I'm just a retired auto tech that does a small amount of hobby machining and I know nothing, but at the end ya kind of answered what happened with oil groves. Hope your business grows by leaps and bounds.
I use Premier Pro but if I was doing it all over again, I would recommend da Vinci resolve. It’s cheaper and sounds like it. It’s almost better these days.
Ya, your 'problem' with the grooves is the half nut as you assessed. Using an "american" lathe, your lead screw will be an inches acme thread, so, it doesn't matter what gears you have installed, you'll always have to leave the halfnut engaged on that machine when you're doing metric threads.
The half nut would have most likely needed to be engaged on an even number. Some threads will work on any number, and others will require the same number or an even number.
I do mechanical design as my day job. I've never used a lathe or a mill and always enjoy watching machining vids. I truly admire and appreciate your channel both for the actual machining operations but mainly for the commentary and endnotes which to me is a great way to learn more about how a machine shop actually works and handles jobs. I really look forward to seeing you getting your shop to the places you want it to be and will sure be following closely. Thanks a ton for the great content and for the effort you put into your channel and good luck!
Thank you for sharing and the honest, realistic info. As someone who is learning, it is sometimes hard to know what realistic expectations are. Question: when installing bronze bushings, do you factor in any compression of the ID?
FWIW, I prefer more commentary and deep dives, and less ASMR. In fact during the ASMR parts of videos, I hold down the spacebar to kick into 2x playback. Congrats on your awesome milestone of uusing 55 gallon drums for chip recycling!
Legit observation. I do like the longer sequences as they show how sometimes materials vary as a tool is working through it. I get a sense of the part developing too. Each to their own! 😊
Interesting to watch, thank you! A question for you, what QC tool post size and do you have any trouble having the post slip? I am trying to improve surface finish on 1045…. Not my favorite so far. 😅
@@hilltopmachineworks2131 mine too. I have slipping problems, particularly with larger drills. I am not using the tailstock much these days. Thank you for reading and responding.
Yeah ca but I wouldn’t run drills in it. To much side load can be done but your issue makes sense. Drills put way more force than a single point cutter.
Just noticed the ring on your left hand!!!!! How much would it sting when it gets caught in rotating machinery??? Best case finger degloved, worst case it takes you entire arm!!!! 😮😮😮😢😢😢
For sure the chat at the end , the conclusions are interesting to me. The Setup is important. The turning is fast forward because it’s repetitive and if you’ve done any machining thats where you go into zen mode or Aotomotive pilot. I started adding metal scraps in the household municipality Blue box, I’m surprised what they take and assume it’s depending on your municipality contract with landfill management. But I started to deposit any scrap metal from the shop in the blue box, one box a week and it’s nice to know that it is getting melted and reused. I’m pretty confident it doesn’t need to go to landfill. My son just started his business, and young kids and all that life throws at him. Like I did, and what I tell him is that all the work you do, all the extras are investment in yourself and your profession . Make hay when you can there are many rewards. Very satisfying to watch your site and watch your growth !
Great video again thanks 👏 Just wondering 1,if you had to skim the bronze bushings/bearings after pressing into the housing. 2. Was there a tolerance for the finished,fitted id or did the customer provide a sample shaft for testing. Once again brilliant work and thanks for sharing, hope you keep them coming. 👍👏🍻🇬🇧🏴✌
Howdy Kyle , very good video . Working 30 hours a week on customers jobs is great in my mind . Your not rushed and always behind . Commentary at the end is really cool and explains a lot to us that were some what confused . Rollers came out looking great .
Yeah, I've done the same when cutting metric threads. Ruined two pieces before I realised what was happening. Now I just leave the lead screw engaged. Fantastic looking finish on those wheels though. I tend to try and leave a positive comment on most of the channels I watch, to hopefully help the algorithm along. You deserve more subscribers.
Your format and content is good. I like the chat at the end, it's nice to have an explanation. When threading metric threads with an imperial leadscrew, you can disengage the half nuts, eg. threading up to a shoulder, but the threading dial must not make a whole turn before you re-engage in reverse. Thats the way I cut metric threads with my 4 tpi leadscrew.
I enjoyed the whole video and the ending as well. I hope you have plenty more work and figure out a balance for family time as well. Keep up the great work 👍.
Nice job! Interesting to see the lower speed/higher feed working better. I think I might have to get one of those tool holders that you used for facing (around the 30:00 mark) that uses the obtuse angled corners of the CNMG insert that otherwise doesn't get touched. Not thought about using coolant? Would spoil the video & make a mess I know!
They do not. I’ve been ordering most of my stuff from Alro in terms of the larger diameter. If I’m ordering material from McMaster Carr it’s usually aluminum or stainless and I’m only doing that if it’s a high paying job that I need quick.
Wouldn't grease in this application be a bad idea? Without some form of seal or wiper, dirt and debris will get mixed in with the grease and become a pasty grinding compound. These are not clean trucks by any measure.
Those things came out great. The grease zerk solution was a nice touch. Threading metric pitches on an imperial lathe, you MUST leave the half nut engaged. Using the threading dial won't work.
We just use an aggressive feed rate with a radius cutter/grooving tool... leaves an extended spiral groove that's perfect for grease. Love the videos man! The commentary is great. Hit the points, reasons, issues, etc. The machining aspect of the videos, maybe do a pass or two show the chips different angles and then show the last pass and then explain the next process. Kinda streamline it a little. ❤ Showing feeds/speeds depth of cut with type of insert would help those learning better undertand as well. Food for thought.
Those are good points. Changing filming methods is like steering a big ship. Change is slow but I am always trying to improve keep the feedback coming.
End result was fantastic. The placement location of the grease nipples was spot on. In relation to the grease grooves, I think I know what you were aiming for. (a criss-cross diamond pattern, diametrically opposed)? I did this once (may years ago before I retired) I kept the lead screw engaged and machined the first groove. Then I rotated the bush in the chuck by 180 degrees, and cut the second groove (with the lead screw still engaged) Another method may be to cut the first groove, then, move the compound slide in half the pitch distance of the groove. This would also give you "opposing" grooves. Keep the video's (and commentary) coming.
@VanoverMachineAndRepair yeah, maybe... so how do you call the trucks that dump with their boxes being fixed on the truck, that lift with one cylinder in the front? Dump trucks? Surely not, cuz that's how we call them!
Thanks for the explanation of what you are looking for on the chips. I’ve never heard the “perfect nine” thing before. On the oil grooves, to get what you wanted one of the groves would need to be right hand and one left, right? Thanks for the insight on how you are growing the business too. I think putting the talking at the end is the right approach. I blow off so many videos ‘cause the lead lecture is TLDR. I think maybe doing it after provides more context and might be more interesting. Maybe.

I am a current engineer for Swaploader. Super cool to see people keeping our hoists on the road. From the image at the beginning this looks like either a SL-505 or SL-545.

The rollers in question we still produce PN 40H93. The OD of the roller should be 7”. We do make the rollers slightly taller on purpose by an 1/8”.

Self taught I didn’t even know what machining was four years ago.

“Sennemenel”😊? Where are you from?
I think my family is Dutch. I lived in Chicago for the last 15 years, but moved around a lot before that.
Good luck Kyle with the shop.wheels looked good 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
In the military we would call the end of these videos an "After Action Review." Very cool to see it develop organically.
Indeed glad you enjoyed it
For sure the chat at the end , the conclusions are interesting to me. The Setup is important. The turning is fast forward because it’s repetitive and if you’ve done any machining thats where you go into zen mode or Aotomotive pilot.
I started adding metal scraps in the household municipality Blue box, I’m surprised what they take and assume it’s depending on your municipality contract with landfill management.
But I started to deposit any scrap metal from the shop in the blue box, one box a week and it’s nice to know that it is getting melted and reused. I’m pretty confident it doesn’t need to go to landfill.
My son just started his business, and young kids and all that life throws at him. Like I did, and what I tell him is that all the work you do, all the extras are investment in yourself and your profession . Make hay when you can there are many rewards.
Very satisfying to watch your site and watch your growth !
Thank you
Will they be giving you those old wheels to turn down, as shelf back-ups?
Probably not but it’s a great idea.
Great video again thanks 👏
Just wondering 1,if you had to skim the bronze bushings/bearings after pressing into the housing.
2. Was there a tolerance for the finished,fitted id or did the customer provide a sample shaft for testing.
Once again brilliant work and thanks for sharing, hope you keep them coming. 👍👏🍻🇬🇧🏴✌
-No I skimmed them before
-i made the shaft
-This stuff is not precise
Another great video, I am glad that your hard work is paying off, Thanks.
Appreciate that!
Need to run coolant to help save your inserts!
Yep
Howdy Kyle , very good video . Working 30 hours a week on customers jobs is great in my mind . Your not rushed and always behind . Commentary at the end is really cool and explains a lot to us that were some what confused . Rollers came out looking great .
Thank you I appreciate it
Yeah, I've done the same when cutting metric threads. Ruined two pieces before I realised what was happening. Now I just leave the lead screw engaged.
Fantastic looking finish on those wheels though.
I tend to try and leave a positive comment on most of the channels I watch, to hopefully help the algorithm along. You deserve more subscribers.
Awe really appreciate it man.
Great job. Grease fitting location is ace and those chips were gorgeous when you got it tuned.
Thanks Rich
My first association from Dump Truck was Trump Duck. Have I heard too much about that guy? 👍
No, I have not.
Your format and content is good. I like the chat at the end, it's nice to have an explanation.
When threading metric threads with an imperial leadscrew, you can disengage the half nuts, eg. threading up to a shoulder, but the threading dial must not make a whole turn before you re-engage in reverse. Thats the way I cut metric threads with my 4 tpi leadscrew.
Yeah your correct thanks
@VanoverMachineAndRepair Sorry, didn't want to sound like a know it all. Thats just the way I have to work.
I'm surprised they didn't ask for the grease fitting on the pin which is fixed rather than the wheel which is not.
Yeah, you never know. Sometimes the design changes are uncertain why they choose them.
What name is the new insert?
I think I showed it in the video correct, Koroly?
The sound of the BONK at 02:49 tells you that the piece is heavy!
Truly
one thing I would of done different, I would of pressed the bushing in first, them machine the ID to the correct size.
Yeah that’s an option
I enjoyed the whole video and the ending as well. I hope you have plenty more work and figure out a balance for family time as well. Keep up the great work 👍.
Thank you. Luckily, I don’t have kids yet, but I will need to become more balanced as time moves on because work takes up a lot of time.
Hi
Just if i can point something out...
While roughing, revs a bit too high and not high enough federate
Thanks
Shocking pink arbor press
Indeed
Nice job! Interesting to see the lower speed/higher feed working better. I think I might have to get one of those tool holders that you used for facing (around the 30:00 mark) that uses the obtuse angled corners of the CNMG insert that otherwise doesn't get touched. Not thought about using coolant? Would spoil the video & make a mess I know!
Yeah those do work well for facing I got to remember not to toss my CNMG inserts so quick I always forget I can use the other edges…
Thanks for that. You'll get there. "To want is to have"! I saw that it is/was a moto.
Right on!
Great job, great format. 👍👍
Thanks! 👍
I have said it before, but I love the commentary. As you say, it has become kind of "your thing" and I definitely hope you keep doing it.
I’ll keep it up don’t worry
What a slug of steel to open up with Kyle….
Made for your big arse lathes…..
Very true
Why not modify okd wheels
Yeah, that’s an option as well
Looking good buddy. Heck of a piece of stock to start off with. Does McMaster even carry stock that large in diameter or is it a special order thing?
They do not. I’ve been ordering most of my stuff from Alro in terms of the larger diameter. If I’m ordering material from McMaster Carr it’s usually aluminum or stainless and I’m only doing that if it’s a high paying job that I need quick.
Wouldn't grease in this application be a bad idea? Without some form of seal or wiper, dirt and debris will get mixed in with the grease and become a pasty grinding compound. These are not clean trucks by any measure.
Yeah, I think the idea is the grease pushes the dirt out, but no one greases them anyway so it doesn’t matter.
Good money in small job's, sometimes big headaches with big jobs. Good video as always,
Very true
Those things came out great. The grease zerk solution was a nice touch. Threading metric pitches on an imperial lathe, you MUST leave the half nut engaged. Using the threading dial won't work.
Yeah true. Hey Greg
We just use an aggressive feed rate with a radius cutter/grooving tool... leaves an extended spiral groove that's perfect for grease.
Love the videos man! The commentary is great. Hit the points, reasons, issues, etc. The machining aspect of the videos, maybe do a pass or two show the chips different angles and then show the last pass and then explain the next process. Kinda streamline it a little. ❤
Showing feeds/speeds depth of cut with type of insert would help those learning better undertand as well. Food for thought.
Those are good points. Changing filming methods is like steering a big ship. Change is slow but I am always trying to improve keep the feedback coming.
@VanoverMachineAndRepair totally understand about steering a ship lmao. I'm a caveman when it comes to technology. Ahahaha
End result was fantastic. The placement location of the grease nipples was spot on.
In relation to the grease grooves, I think I know what you were aiming for. (a criss-cross diamond pattern, diametrically opposed)? I did this once (may years ago before I retired) I kept the lead screw engaged and machined the first groove. Then I rotated the bush in the chuck by 180 degrees, and cut the second groove (with the lead screw still engaged) Another method may be to cut the first groove, then, move the compound slide in half the pitch distance of the groove. This would also give you "opposing" grooves. Keep the video's (and commentary) coming.
Thank you
aren't they called roll-off trucks?
Well, people have different names for different things
@VanoverMachineAndRepair yeah, maybe... so how do you call the trucks that dump with their boxes being fixed on the truck, that lift with one cylinder in the front? Dump trucks? Surely not, cuz that's how we call them!
Like the format. Nice chips.
Appreciate it, the chips were flying!
Remember to flip the bushing to get that crosshatch .
Indeed
Thanks for the explanation of what you are looking for on the chips. I’ve never heard the “perfect nine” thing before.
On the oil grooves, to get what you wanted one of the groves would need to be right hand and one left, right?
Thanks for the insight on how you are growing the business too. I think putting the talking at the end is the right approach. I blow off so many videos ‘cause the lead lecture is TLDR. I think maybe doing it after provides more context and might be more interesting. Maybe.
Yeah good points
