the mill-table-mount camera always gets me. spin the hand wheel, the whole mill moves! that tap wrench is the stuff of nightmares, by the way. sharp look'n work, Adam.
Please pass on a big thank you and appreciation to your Boss/Shop owner for allowing you to film these videos from you work place. Always learn so much from these. Thanks for sharing
I'm a Mechanic and I could watch you Videos all day long. You do a great job explaining and narrating them. Don't be surprised if the Discovery Channel pics you up, Your That GOOD! Thank You
I laughed pretty hard when you were talking about the guys bending the hydraulic tube. "Soon as they get a hold of it" was hilarious. I've worked with some guys like that.
That's cool! We cold form a lot of tank weld spuds just like the one you held up at 1:13. Takes a big machine and lots of tonnage to make those babies! Then the inside is bored and threaded via CNC.
We make the ones that look like forgings. Whether the spud is forged or cold formed depends on how big the spud is. The biggest we can form is about a 1" NPTF spud (can go bigger if not very thick). With 1.250 wire stock, it takes a 600 ton machine to hammer those out!
Abom79, the names of the cylinder ends are "rod end" and "blind end" is what we called them, when I was a millwright. and also in hydraulic school at Rexroth hydraulics in Pennsylvania. Not critizing you by no means, just letting you know.
Used a lot of SCT tools when I worked on aircraft turboprop engines. Nothing as big as those you are using. Also used a lot of their solid carbide boring bars, again small stuff, 1/8 to 3/8 Dia. Always impressed on the quality of their tooling. James
I just got my first solid carbide micro-100 boring bars 5/16" shank for 0.200"min. hole, and man they are so sharp it's frightening! I love how heavy(or dense) the little suckers are. I'm boring out the mounting socket on a US made Jacob's 16N that was chowdered up somehow, if you're interested, please check it out on my channel ;)
Takes me back to the days of industrial trash compactor repair. These should have been a subject on "Dirty Jobs". Crawling inside these science experiments to unbolt and de-couple a forward stuck piston ram took some internal fortitude and hepatitis shots.
Working on cylinders with a transfer tube was nice (any time not spent hunched under the platen in knee deep funk was much appreciated), not all manufacturers used these.
Nice work Adam, those form tools look like they are worth every penny considering the time they save. Your shop made a wise investment in them, sometimes it's hard to convince management to make those kinds of purchases when there are ways to get by to get a job done.
hey Adam thanks for ur videos.. sorry I haven't watched some for a while. appreciate your help so I can learn more.. thanks a bunch and loves to your family too. have a blessed day! :) a salaam peace سلام much loves. much loves!
Good job, one handy tool to have while hand tapping in a mill or lathe is a spring loaded center that follows the tap down as you are tapping even with the quill locked. I can't think of the brand off the top of my head but there's an American made one that's very reasonably priced and high quality.
+Phill Huddleston I have them and use them, but aren't as reliable as a solid center being pushed down into the tap. It's real easy to get off center with the large taps with a spring loaded center.
Very cool tools for making the ORB fittings. I've designed many a radiator & heat exchanger that uses those things, very cool to see a different method for making them
I've programmed so many SAE ports on CNC machines. I've found that you have to treat these tools more like reamers. They like slower speeds and high feeds. If you use the recommended feed rates they like to chatter. Getting these ports through a quality inspection is a constant struggle.
I used the form tools like you did. We mostly cut high silicon cast aluminum so we used PCD tipped tools. We had thumbnail gages for inspection and thread runout gages for each size. Not fun.
Heyman, Great job, as always. It looks like someone didn't change the bearing in time on those last shafts you showed. I see this all the time, but on 2" conveyor rollers with 5/8" bearings. They get ran till they break. They were replacing the whole roller until I started boring them and making replacement shafts held in by set screws. I'm afraid I only encouraged the lack of proper maintenance though.
"Thing of beauty" fer sure! Jewelry for MEN or machining Eye Candy. The Quality of the craftsmanship is is unparalleled. Sounds like your working in an Aviary Adam.
20:26 i've seen things like that on the ends of nuclear fuel bundles for handling them in the reactor rooms, there's a special apparatus that grabs them there and doesn't require someone to be there to hook onto it while providing a rigid purchase
You've mentioned before that people bend that transfer pipe. Assuming it wouldn't interfere with the overall machine wouldn't it be worth welding on a couple of lifting points to try and prevent that? Great job as always though.
might be interesting with the Oring cutters if you had a collet holder for the lathe tail stock.. since it goes in till the cutter touches the flat surface..
Adam, you said you used flux-core to weld the bosses onto the main tube, but did you use it to weld that small tube to the boss also? Did you have any issues with that weld, given the huge difference in wall thicknesses? Did you per-weld that smaller tube to the bosses first before you welded bosses to main tube?
Adam, is there some kinda formula for welding warpage or rule of thumb on when you should machine after welding? For example, when welding those ports onto the hydraulic cylinder - how do you know ahead of time that it wont warp and restrict the cylinder bore?
Great work Adam. I do wonder though, if you wouldn't have some issues with distortion of the thread a O-ring boss after welding. I mean apparently you don't because of the order of procedures. I realize that it would more difficult to fixture the welded tube for boring the smaller supply holes. Just thinking out-loud.
It;s no problem, you can buy most of those things al day long and made to weld on. If anything, you might have to chase the threads if you get spatter in there. The o-ring will seat just fine.
Well, that part at the end looked like a miniature banister leg, like the kind they turn in a wood lathe. Maybe they used the 80grit grease for that zerk fitting, LOL!
This is hard to believe, but the latest thing coming from MBAs is the plan to get rid of maintenance workers and let equipment run til it fails then replace it. One could shoot a lot of holes in that idea!
Wait...what? Who has told you that, +Dale Nelson, do you have a friend of family member in school right now, or perhaps a professor? That is ridiculous! If they have ever owned a car and actually thought about the repairs they pay for, they'd know that allowing a failure can(and will) cause major, additional, damage. Aha, I just thought of a reason why a professor may not understand that, the stupid leasing programs for cars that prevent people from understanding how small preventable failures lead to major malfunctions. They just stay in their bubble and don't understand the reasoning behind maintenance. Thanks for the heads-up!
knolltop farms I sure don't agree with this new idea about running a machine to failure, but unfortunately, I don't recall where I heard this except it was on some national news program. Their theory is that it is less costly to not have to pay for maintenance workers(pay plus benefits don't you know)
Yeah, that's just insanity...and incredibly greedy, inhumane, etc., etc. Some people in 'high' places really don't care about their fellow man. It's like that guy who thinks sending missiles is a better plan to help the "beautiful babies" then it is to send food aid, or heaven forbid allow refugees. Forget the preventative measures and just blast everything when it goes sour...At least there are allot of good folks left in the machining community, Aloha Brother...Chuck
Adam - Excellent videos, as always. I'm wondering if sometime you could do an example of threading in which your scratch pass is incorrect and you have to adjust and recut the threads over the scratch pass. Does that make sense? In other words, whenever I see you make a scratch pass I wonder what you would do to correct it if it was wrong. Just a thought. Thanks again!
You just fix your gear box, add some fresh blue, re-scratch and cut your thread. The old scratch will have no effect on the finished thread even if it is a several thou deep.
I understand, Josh pretty much summed it up. The purpose of the scratch pass is to verify your pitch is correct, and you can change it before you cut any deeper. The shallow scratches won't hurt the thread.
are you really a kid, or is the pic of your son? Very cool stuff to be learned here young man, you can use these skills not only to make money, but also stuff money can't buy. Like the cat-size scuba gear I'm about to make, or anything you can think of...share your builds on video too if you're a maker!
LOL, I won't tell your's if you don't tell mine! ;) It's just for fun, and to discover how everything's made, while making it. It is the best way for me to truly learn something. I'd have a video out tonight, about my spindle, but the laptop took a dump and is being formatted right now...At least I didn't lose the footage on the SD card!
Not to say that it aint cool to use a new specialty tool to cut to the o-ring counter bores but, wouldn't it have just been easier cut that counter bore and tap it on the lathe... especially from a time vs money prespective?
I watch all your videos and think there great. Is it possible to get hold of you to see if you can fix an arbor on my old table saw , they don’t make the part anymore. Thank you
I don't even qualify as an armchair machinist, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question - why don't you cut that end profile on a lathe like you do with many other profiles? Seems a bit expensive to have a specialized tool that can cut just one diameter if you've got a lathe that you can use to cut any diameter - but you know what you're doing, so I'm overlooking something here, right?
Watch the video again. Adam explains at 2:20: "But what do you do when you have a big ol' clunky part like this that's magnified 10 times. It's big, it's heavy. Well sometimes it's not so easy to put something like this in a lathe. So what you want is a cutter, like an end mill."
Now will you do final assembly in your shop or are they fabricated parts for a customer. I wish you were closer someone with your skills are hard to find.
Hey Adam, I have a situation where someone cut the 10AN threads for ORB fittings, but didn't put the chamfer in, so the O-ring has no place to seat in. Can this tool be ran in an already threaded hole or would you recommend a different approach?
Hey Adam, just curious why I don't see you use a coax indicator ? The way you do it is good but I wondered why no one use's them. I know your arch nemesis does (he he). Nice job and yes if there is a way to mess up a good repair job there is a moran inline to do it. Oh one other thing you said you used fluxcore to weld with, did that mean flux core wire with no shielding gas? Thanks God Bless Ya Dave
Dave, actually I do use a co-ax quite often but that indicator setup I shown is pretty quick and easy too. I actually have a new Blake co-ax on the way, tired of the cheap import units crapping out on me. Time to see if the Blake brand is any better.
ya my last one was the bridge piece that holds the pinion in relation to the plunger rack the screws came loose and I broke that brittle cast iron rocker when taking it apart :hint that pin is a taper pin I think!
Curious if the part is machined to fit pilot of the tool for the o-ring, is it not easier to just line the part up with the pilot of the tool then lock it down ?
+Richard Frisbie That's a very old collet system that's obsolete. I think someone else mentioned the same thing. I believe the number size is 1C. It's a 40 taper shank and goes up to 1 1/4".
the mill-table-mount camera always gets me. spin the hand wheel, the whole mill moves!
that tap wrench is the stuff of nightmares, by the way.
sharp look'n work, Adam.
That tap wrench has been a huge help around the shop, I'm glad I invested in it. Much nice then an all 16's. Thanks Tony!
Please pass on a big thank you and appreciation to your Boss/Shop owner for allowing you to film these videos from you work place. Always learn so much from these.

I laughed pretty hard when you were talking about the guys bending the hydraulic tube. "Soon as they get a hold of it" was hilarious. I've worked with some guys like that.
It's a race with guys like Adam working to make things fool proof, and the universe making bigger fools. So far the universe is winning. :(
Rambozo Clown Instead of fool proof, more like fool resistant.😜
Yep, some people don't care about all the hard work that went into making something function right and look new.
It is hard to make things fool proof because fools are so ingenious ;)
Que buen trabajo me gusta como trabajas amigo yo trabajo en lo mismo 😀😀🙌🙌🙌
Not sure why choking a sling is the only method guys know but I see stuff destroyed all the time because of it. Excellent work!
Great work Adam I was sure you were going to indicate that part that wasn't quite right. A true machinist
Yea Mike things like that bother me
The only right approach. If it doesnt feel right, take a step back and check everything
That's cool! We cold form a lot of tank weld spuds just like the one you held up at 1:13. Takes a big machine and lots of tonnage to make those babies! Then the inside is bored and threaded via CNC.
We get alot that are cnc machined, others look like forgings.
We make the ones that look like forgings. Whether the spud is forged or cold formed depends on how big the spud is. The biggest we can form is about a 1" NPTF spud (can go bigger if not very thick). With 1.250 wire stock, it takes a 600 ton machine to hammer those out!
Very nice workmanship.
Abom79, the names of the cylinder ends are "rod end" and "blind end" is what we called them, when I was a millwright. and also in hydraulic school at Rexroth hydraulics in Pennsylvania. Not critizing you by no means, just letting you know.
Adam, gotta love your videos. I work on electric and programming but i love these. I see work like this in work and love it. I wish you all the best!
Just love watching your videos, I have learnt so much from them.
Very interesting Adam thanks for sharing.
Used a lot of SCT tools when I worked on aircraft turboprop engines. Nothing as big as those you are using. Also used a lot of their solid carbide boring bars, again small stuff, 1/8 to 3/8 Dia.
Always impressed on the quality of their tooling.
James
I just got my first solid carbide micro-100 boring bars 5/16" shank for 0.200"min. hole, and man they are so sharp it's frightening! I love how heavy(or dense) the little suckers are. I'm boring out the mounting socket on a US made Jacob's 16N that was chowdered up somehow, if you're interested, please check it out on my channel ;)
They make some good quality tools .
Beautiful work I love your videos and how informative they are, such a pleasure to watch.Thank you keep up the amazing work!
Takes me back to the days of industrial trash compactor repair. These should have been a subject on "Dirty Jobs". Crawling inside these science experiments to unbolt and de-couple a forward stuck piston ram took some internal fortitude and hepatitis shots.
Working on cylinders with a transfer tube was nice (any time not spent hunched under the platen in knee deep funk was much appreciated), not all manufacturers used these.
Nice work,those cutters sure save time.
I think every machinist likes peeling the protective wax or rubber off a new or just sharpened cutter.
It's one of our guilty pleasures
Like unwrapping an ice cream sandwich, LOL!
Great show man , Love those new milling tools .. thumbs up..
Man you do a great job Adam.
King; this case is closed! Good job Adam; I love to see a worker with such skill (I started to say expertice but can't spell it). Greg
Got to love some good old fashioned dedicated form tools!
Nice work Adam, those form tools look like they are worth every penny considering the time they save. Your shop made a wise investment in them, sometimes it's hard to convince management to make those kinds of purchases when there are ways to get by to get a job done.
+Bill De La Vega Yep they are handy to have especially if you deal with hydraulic components all day.
hey Adam thanks for ur videos.. sorry I haven't watched some for a while. appreciate your help so I can learn more.. thanks a bunch and loves to your family too.
have a blessed day! :)
a salaam peace سلام
much loves.

That is good looking work something to be proud of thumbs up

+Phill Huddleston I have them and use them, but aren't as reliable as a solid center being pushed down into the tap. It's real easy to get off center with the large taps with a spring loaded center.
You just need to make an Abom size and spring strength center. :-)
Very cool tools for making the ORB fittings. I've designed many a radiator & heat exchanger that uses those things, very cool to see a different method for making them
Adam, Nice set up on the vice stop. Always wondered about a good way to do that. Thanks for the tip!
Eric
its good to see craftsmen share! keep it up
I've programmed so many SAE ports on CNC machines. I've found that you have to treat these tools more like reamers. They like slower speeds and high feeds. If you use the recommended feed rates they like to chatter. Getting these ports through a quality inspection is a constant struggle.
Did you use these tools to cut them or just profiles with single point tools??
I used the form tools like you did. We mostly cut high silicon cast aluminum so we used PCD tipped tools. We had thumbnail gages for inspection and thread runout gages for each size. Not fun.
Adam, You really do some nice work! Matt C.
Heyman,

They were replacing the whole roller until I started boring them and making replacement shafts held in by set screws. I'm afraid I only encouraged the lack of proper maintenance though.
Yep that stuff gets run until failure.
Thanks for the videos, I really learn a lot to apply it to my work. From Argentina, greetings.
You got a great job man!👍😀
now that's a tap wrench!
Proper Abom size tooling!
Solid looking tap wrench 😁😁
Cool work that you do.
The Quil Man makes another appearance!
"Thing of beauty" fer sure! Jewelry for MEN or machining Eye Candy. The Quality of the craftsmanship is is unparalleled.

nice job Adam as always love your video's
Beautiful work, man!!! Love your videos.
Great video. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing
If you are doing a lot of number 6 and 8, the Accuport indexable porting tools are awesome. Its a 4 in one tool.
Nice work
You've mentioned before that people bend that transfer pipe. Assuming it wouldn't interfere with the overall machine wouldn't it be worth welding on a couple of lifting points to try and prevent that? Great job as always though.
That would be good but onyl if the customer requests it. Sometimes I cut a piece of tubing to fit over the transfer tube to protect them.
Another great one! Thanks!
👍nice work
Thank you 🙏 great video
60k rpm makes that peal coat disappear in .1 second 😂
Cool, Abom size stuff. I'm just playing with toys ;-)
I pondered. Looks like a roller from a gulf coast paper mill.
+William Garrett Its actually an old roller out of an old linen company. Some of that stuff was built back in the old days.
adam nice work.
might be interesting with the Oring cutters if you had a collet holder for the lathe tail stock.. since it goes in till the cutter touches the flat surface..
I think the cylinders was not ready yet. Part of the welding was still missing. Can be seen in 18:40 and 20:00.
Totally off topic but I do miss the song birds back East. Grew up in Virginia and actually taught a mocking birds the first part of Yankee Doodle.
They've been loud and proud this year!
Need a tshirt
ABOM IS THE BOMB!
Adam, you said you used flux-core to weld the bosses onto the main tube, but did you use it to weld that small tube to the boss also? Did you have any issues with that weld, given the huge difference in wall thicknesses? Did you per-weld that smaller tube to the bosses first before you welded bosses to main tube?
+Fred Newman Yes I used the flux core for all of the welding, just tuned the machine properly.
Adam, is there some kinda formula for welding warpage or rule of thumb on when you should machine after welding? For example, when welding those ports onto the hydraulic cylinder - how do you know ahead of time that it wont warp and restrict the cylinder bore?
Great work Adam. I do wonder though, if you wouldn't have some issues with distortion of the thread a O-ring boss after welding. I mean apparently you don't because of the order

at the end it looks like the framitz off a ka-newton valve
Ahh, so that's what was in the blue shmoo.
Well, that part at the end looked like a miniature banister leg, like the kind they turn in a wood lathe. Maybe they used the 80grit grease for that zerk fitting, LOL!
Yea it's some rollers for the old linen company. Run till failure!

good job man as always
The old ones look
Like cast iron fittings, like we use on heating systems.
Enjoyable

I use these exact tools at work except instead of a guide on the tip they have a sort of reamer on the tip that takes it down to tap drill size.
you need a collet holder for your tailstock
What was the usage of this cylinder that was causing it to corrode so badly? Sorry if this was asked.
Not to say that it aint cool to use a new specialty tool to cut to the o-ring counter bores but, wouldn't it have just been easier cut that counter bore and tap it on the lathe... especially from a time vs money prespective?

+CE Smith We do it all ourselves.
Just wondered why that seat could not have been turned on the lathe
Hey Adam, I have a situation where someone cut the 10AN threads for ORB fittings, but didn't put the chamfer in, so the O-ring has no place to seat in. Can this tool be ran in an already threaded hole or would you recommend a different approach?
Hey Adam, just curious why I don't see you use a coax indicator ? The way you do it is good but I wondered why no one use's them. I know your arch nemesis does (he he).

Yes flux core wire, with gas also known as dual shield. It's like welding with 7018.
ya my last one was the bridge piece that holds the pinion in relation to the plunger rack the screws came loose and I broke that brittle cast iron rocker when taking it apart :hint that pin is a taper pin I think!
Hi love your videos I was wondering why you did not do o-ring boss ports in the lathe
Nice job. What kind of ends on those cylinders? Reminds me of an automatic release on a production machine.
The rods have a mounting plate welded on them that look just like the ends of the barrels.
Curious if the part is machined to fit pilot of the tool for the o-ring, is it not easier to just line the part up with the pilot of the tool then lock it down ?
I'm sure you could and get good results, but I like to assure it's aligned with the pilot
was the tubing CrMo?
Hello Adam, Is that the A bomb recommended tap wrench for 1/4 x 20? Thanks again for your videoing. Take care. Doug
I think that one is only good up to #4-40 for a giant 1/4"-20 you need to break out the big guns.
Doubles as a head knocker when people ask dumb questions
Adam, what is the mill you're using? I've got an old Cincinnati, and that collet nut looks very familiar.
+Richard Frisbie That's a very old collet system that's obsolete. I think someone else mentioned the same thing. I believe the number size is 1C. It's a 40 taper shank and goes up to 1 1/4".
Thanks Adam. The Cincinnati uses the same collets as a moonset grinder.
Where do I get one of those great multi tools Adam? 😜
10:52
The last shot are the piston ends? what is up with that, why such small attachments for such beefy cylinders? what did the pair come off of?
+semidemiurge Those are rollers with worn out shafts.
I was always told rpm was CSx4/d. I got a middle of the road speed of 350 rpm.
That's the easy-to-remember-but-not-strictly-accurate way.
What is the better way?
Why it was impossible to make this choke on the lathe?
Won't the extra threads cause cavitation in the fitting?
+Peabrain I'll have to consult with the NFPA experts on that one.
You not painting them Adam?
Yes we paint them, I don't paint them though. We have other guys who handle that.
parker port
Please explane the math more on cutter speed and other stuff.
Is the flux-core the dual shield?
Yes sir it is.
hola :D
what brand mill is that a bridgeport?
ACRA.
How much were those form tools?
It depends on the size, they range from around $100-$300 in the video.
i just realized that adam have forgotten to weld two insertting tubes just have tags on them 20:35 😀
