A complicated set-up is such a interesting process to watch.. I used to love the "Old timers" at work figure out a way to accomplish a task... Great stuff Randy!!!!!
Randy:The 90 degree head if you had one, probably wouldn't work with your impact draw bar.You have to have a long hex manual draw bar.Your setup is going to be interesting, can't wait to see it.I've got over 50 years in machining as a mold maker and a prototype machinist and I've seen a lot of different setups Good luck, Great project I love cement mixers.
I'm a week behind on my viewing because I had an important road trip. I noted that this video, and almost all the other recent ones on my subscriptions page have not only the old snapshot, but a short video preview that shows on mouse-over. Yours was where you arrange the scrabble tiles. TH-cam is always adding features unannounced.
I'm always interested to see how others come up with ideas for how to fit odd-shaped work pieces, Keith Fenner is one other name that comes to mind for this sort of thing. I was impressed and happy for you that the annulus gear came off the yoke with just a bit of heat and some swing press work, was expecting it to be a harder removal. Thanks for sharing!
Just like in welding jobs, a whole day to prep and 10 minutes actual arc time, full day setting-up and 15 minutes of a "boring" job... 😁😎👍 Too bad Brian's shop is sooooo far away... 😰
Hey I told Randy this is how I used to do it in my shop. I have done pretty much this exact thing a few times before. It is a huge time consuming pain but we work with the tools we have. :-) Fortunately for me I had enough of these pains to warrant building a proper shop with the proper tools to do the job and made my life so much better! Bridge crane is best thing ever, followed by big HBM.
Glad heat did the trick... great. Set up sure looks quite a challenge but seems it's going to hopefully work out well - look fwd to seeing how it actually performs.
I Am Loving This series !! This Is " Real World " Stuff ! I Was Thinking That Your Around 350 Hours . Jeess Glad You Didn't Pick Anything To Easy !! Big Thumbs Up
Almost would be easier to ship the yoke off to Brian so he can swing it in his lathe lol. Love seeing the creativity and versatility of the bridgeport use. I thought you were going to mount the yoke vertically to the side of the table and swing the head over the side. I guess the yoke is too long for that. Could you mount the yoke in a rotary table/indexing head and mill the shaft with an end mill (like cnc milling a crank shaft)?
This yoke is large and heavy for my shop. Wish I was closer to Brian, would of had this done. But this is a fun project and pushing the limits in my shop. Thanks Barry.
It was only a few inches, probably should of lowered it a bit. Worked out great so far. Would of been a great casting project. Have a good time at the GOTL i can not make it. Thanks Clarke.
@@RRINTHESHOP man, I was hoping you'd be there. The way things are going on my end, everything is playing down to the last second. Need at least another week
Just could not make it, to many things. I just got back from Washington and Oregon, my good friend passed away at 100, so services. Can't quite afford another long trip right now. Wish I could make it, it would be fun. thanks Clarke.
say Randy, what happened with the anchor lube? that stuff was all the rage and now hardly anyone uses it anymore.. on the drilling around the 10:00 mark you sure had quite the smoke column going.. at least the anchor lube doesn't smoke.. going to be interesting to see how the rest of the setup shakes out. always fun to have setups outside the normal operational envelope of the machine.. your setups are getting as crazy as mine on the the weinig machines....lol cheers! mike
I use the Anchor Lube all the time, but only for stainless. It is magic on stainless. I also use it tapping. Its biggest downside is that it is water based and will promote rust.

Thanks John. Lots to go. Now we are the old timers.
The next instalment should be an eye opener. I love complicated set ups, such a great opportunity for cock ups.😉
I hope for some head way this week. Thanks Chris.
A little heat .. A little know how ..
A Large steel plate and you got the start of an awesome set-up plan.
Thank you Anthony. Well it all sounds good.

I still would not mind having one. Thanks Jim.

Thanks Everett.
That plate , your welding table is a useful thing to have to expand the capacity of the mill . Cheers .
Thanks Max.
Looking good Randy .

Thanks Tighe.

Too bad Brian's shop is sooooo far away... 😰
Yep that is so true. Brian's shop would of been great for this. Thanks Pierre.

@@bcbloc02 If you warm up the shop a little in the Winter, then, you got it perfect.... 🥶🥶🥶
@@bcbloc02 My overhead trolly is coming in handy right now. Thanks Brian.
You need a 90 degree head,to do the same thing.But your idea looks like it's going to work just as well but a lot more setup.
Yes that would be nice. I do not have one. The setup would still be basically the same. I really should look for one. Thanks James.
I was thinking the same.
Randy you get it finished and your wife will say ! "Honey take me for a spin"
Oh great now she will want to use it. Thanks Joe for letting me know.
This is going to be, when you're done, the best cement mixer this side of our Solar system. And i'm not even kidding. :)
Well I was hope for this side of the galaxy but Solar System would be good. Thanks aserta.
Gotta build tools to build tools or fix machinery. I am sure it will be Randy Richard perfect.
Yep you got it makes it fun. Thanks Harold.
Setups always take longer than the actual work, that’s a creative solution!
Thanks Yuchol. Working on it. Takes forever.
Glad heat did the trick... great. Set up sure looks quite a challenge but seems it's going to hopefully work out well - look fwd to seeing how it actually performs.
Thanks Chris. I hope it works also.
By the time you get done with this project the mixer will have closer tolerances and more capability than when it was new! Watching closely....
I think so. It will be a smooth mixer. Thanks Sandrammer.
Have to say you have great quality videos. Love to watch them. Big thumbs up
Thanks Nelo. Just trying.
I Am Loving This series !! This Is " Real World " Stuff ! I Was Thinking That Your Around 350 Hours . Jeess Glad You Didn't Pick Anything To Easy !! Big Thumbs Up
Thank you Stephen. I wish it was only 350 more like 850 at least that is what it feels like. Just maybe 100 to go.
@@RRINTHESHOP Well Gee , I Was Only 500 Off , So Much For My Guessing Skills , Duh
I have no idea how many hrs. But is is a lot.
That is some fixture plate, I'm sure it's going to work like a charm!
Thanks Ray. Heavy, very heavy.
Creative setup Randy👍👍
Thanks Bill. I hope this works.
Heat is where it's at when separating stuck parts. Gonna be an interesting work holding setup.
Heat when you have to. It took way less than I thought it would. Thanks Vernon.
Heat and don't forget...luck. Cause sometimes, you can pour half a volcano on a part and it will still be stuck...worse...break. :))
@@aserta This did not take much, didn't even hurt the paint, one about 4 min of heating.
bonjour ,trés bonne vidéo et bon boulot comme toujours ...
thank you.
Very interesting set up Randy keep em coming
Thanks Christopher.
Looks like a big project. Good video.
Big, lots more to do. Thanks Mike.
Good afternoon Randy! Interesting episode, can't wait to see how this comes out.
Morning here Craig. Waiting on tools for setup now. Making the boring bar today. Thanks.
Good stuff, I sure am looking forward to seeing the set up. Thank you for the video.
So am I Glenn. Hope to make some good headway this week. Angle plate arrived today. Thanks.
This is becoming quite a "little" project. :-)
Oh yes. Quite the challenge. Thank you John.
very cool ..
Thanks Krazziee2000.
That cement mixer will last another 50 years when your finished.
I hope so. Thanks Ken.

Thanks Tom for coming along.
More progress made Randy, I have a couple of 8" angle plates if you need to borrow let me know?
Thank you Eric. I am a few days away from trying to set up. I will keep that in mind.
This setup process should be very educational. Maybe you could give us a flash of your modeling you did
I will do that. Thanks Ted.
I almost had a stroke when that gear hit the floor, just knew I was fixing to make a replacement🤣
It was only a few inches, probably should of lowered it a bit. Worked out great so far. Would of been a great casting project. Have a good time at the GOTL i can not make it. Thanks Clarke.

Thanks Jim.
To be continued... I hope!
For sure Joe. Thanks.
That’s a lot of work, however sometimes you have to use what you have. Now if you had Brian Blocks big Monarch it be a snap
Yep for sure. i have a lot of time in this and I want everything to work out, so lots of thought and planing. Thanks James.
I was thinking of the horizontal boring mill myself.
Be nice. Thanks.
@@infoanorexic what about the right angle attachment on the Bridgeport, I have one and have yet to use it.
Randy could I please have the brand of your drill sharper.
Christopher
Older Darex Model M4/M5. Works great. Thanks Christopher.
say Randy,
what happened with the anchor lube? that stuff was all the rage and now hardly anyone uses it anymore.. on the drilling around the 10:00 mark you sure had quite the smoke column going.. at least the anchor lube doesn't smoke..

I should of used some the smoke is always a pain. The next drilling. This is going to be a tough setup for me, big piece. Thanks Mike.
I use the Anchor Lube all the time, but only for stainless. It is magic on stainless. I also use it tapping. Its biggest downside is that it is water based and will promote rust.
Yep I agree, great on stainless.
There's a will there's a way
Lots of will here, I hope not a shortage on the way. Thanks Larry.
Set screw directly onto the shaft. I don't understand how that was ever a good idea.
Yeah really. Thanks Shain.
first! lol
Congrats Mike. Thanks.
