Machining a Motor Adapter Plate

- Just another example of bad engineering. The original plate was a very porous casting and couldn't support the 20HP motor. Watch as we make a new one from a piece of solid steel. Just another day at Topper Machine LLC.

I'm liking the high speed filming Josh. Thanks for making the videos! I am a fan of manual machining.
I love these kind of jobs. Heavy turning and hole drilling. Nice angles to make it look close to the cast piece. I hope they give you the rest to make up. Good easy money.
Thank you, your work is excellent, and the best thing is that you did not put annoying music
For us learners the comments you make during the process are important. Something that is commonplace to you may be new to us. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Nice upgrade to original, some pretty nice swarf there.
Great vlog thanks for sharing.
Regards John.
Great video but I do enjoy you explaining your methods as it help with my learning. Thanks
Thank you, I won't do this again. I didn't think about how my explanations help.
I agree with your comments at the beginning of this vidio. Keep doing what you do. "ATTABOY!!"
I enjoy your comments as you work, even the love you sharing your hatred of snow. Keep up use good work.
LOL, I do hate Snow and winter and cold! This was a one time trial, obviously it didn't go over well. Comments will be back in the videos. Thank you.
I enjoy your narrative, that's why I watch yours and other machining videos. Stay safe.
Great shtuff...You may be my new guy to watch. There's a big fat one who talks & talks more than anything and another who went weird on us...Tony something. I like the Aussy guy with the dawg.
I agree with you there. Lol. The Aussy is actually boring to me since we see the same kind of work. The only difference between him and I is that he has recourses readily available to him. I have to make due or order stuff in.
This is very well made! Them lathes are made for the test of times, awesome work
I am watching this a year after you published it. I enjoy your channel because you explain what you are doing, thus I vote for narration. High-speed footage is great once you have explained what you are going to do and are into repetitive stages, but I don't mind real-time. I generally avoid those channels that provide no narration and go super fast, especially if the shots aren't close-up so I can see what is going on.
Your big enough now 97k 😃👍
HOLY CRAP! That is one big M Effin drill. Brilliant! 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful workmanship Josh, and although it was nice to watch I do enjoy your commentary too. Merry Christmas and good job on binning off Amazon 👍
This is a great machine shop lots to learn
Yeah Josh I like it, that will hold up to the torque applied from a 20 HP motor. Im wondering if they can program a soft start of the drive? And yes Bugger Amazon, we have access to them now, down here in OZ. Happy to resist the tempation! Lol. Keep up the good work & Vids you do. Cheers fella.
Nicely done, thank you
Great work, great job, great channel, great guy!!!
God Bless.
Nice job.
Very nicely done. Great video
Love the video. "Screw you Amazon", I agree totally!!!! I gave up on Amazon years ago. You did a nice job on the video and the part. This is a old video but I have not seen it. I sure hope that your part has held up and is doing a good job.
Nice little vid on a motor adaptor plate. I'm doing the same at the moment to mount a new spindle motor to the Huron Mill. The motor is a 132 Frame with a B5 90 frame mount. Make new end plate for 132 frame to B5 90 frame mount. 1045 steel. Is cheaper to buy new motor and mak adapter plate than to rewind old one that is over 35 years old.
As for Amazon yeah they can get stuffed.
Cheers from Brisbane Australia.
Nice job, that'll be heaps tougher.
This is your best format.
Nice work
I believe this material will be stop the problem
I like to hear what is going on in your head as you go from op to op.
This was an experimental video. I do explain things much better in other videos. Thanks for watching.
How did you indicate the part on the mill?
I used a coaxial centering indicator, then setup my DRO for bolt circles.
After finding center, if you don't have a fancy dro, x=sin(angle)*distance_from_center y=cos(angle)*distance_from_center will give you coordinates for whatever angle around the circle you want. But if you screw up and unclamp your part for some reason, then you'll have to find center again, then find the coordinates of an existing hole to offset your original desired angles.
They will probably CMM it and go to a CNC shop to make more. Hope you get more tho.
Extremely unlikely. They only have a couple more in the plant.
What was the material for the adapter?
12" 1018 Hot Rolled.
Not my favorite video technique. I prefer at least a little explanation (although the smaller the better).
This didn’t work for me, don’t care for the sped up video. I like your old way of doing videos, explaining what you’re doing.
Thanks for the feedback. This was just an experiment, which obviously failed. Next time will be much better.
@@TopperMachineLLC I liked your experiment, retired machinist/moldmaker of 50 years.
That first step was boring.
