Swedish Gearbox Shaft Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2017
- First of a multi-part video showing the machining of a metric gearbox shaft that was built in Sweden. This is a rebuild taking place in our shop that has several parts that had to be repaired and machined. I machined two of the shafts, a bearing plate, and a couple other parts as well.
I have many viewers who only use the metric system, so this should satisfy a little of your metric machining hunger. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
As AvE said - Abom79 is a guy who takes big chunk of metal and turns it to tiny something ))))
Great video, thanks Adam
90% of machining is quarry work: breaking big rocks into little rocks. I routinely machine titanium forgings. I like to say that I remove 75% of the material to get at the nougatty goodness inside, lol
ain't that what mars bars are? sneaky snickers it could also.
I'm always floored by your level of experience. I'd be freakin' out about that shaft not cleaning up all the way- and here you are cool as a cucumber- "hey, we'll just put the big ass keyway there." Fun to watch, as always!
These videos just get better and better.
Boy... I'll tell ya, that your grandfather and father would be very proud of the work you have carried on in there name.
You have done well young Skywalker. Very nice quality work you do.

One of your character traits that I like is just how easily you take your time to make sure the thing is right. You make it look effortless.
"Swedish shaft roughing in". 30 years ago that video title would have sold a million in adult shops.
LOL.
Today, it would get a million downloads.
I know this is4 years old but the finishes you get are unreal !
Adam, you are a good machinist with a whole bucket full of skills. Nice to see. And not a CNC machine in sight. Brilliant!
23:30 I've watched you do this 100 times but it still impresses me how quick and accurate you are at doing it!
Big fan, Abom! Never had in interest in machining or metallurgy until I came across your channel. Now i'm so enthralled, I catch myself losing an hour or two sometimes watching your videos, haha.
You got to love those fix perfect inserts on 4140 👍🏻
Any drummers out there? I just discovered Abom79 today and have watched 6 videos, know nothing about machining (other than helping an old friend who machined Swiss screws write his resume), and am now mesmerized by this stuff. Re the drummer reference - when Adam tightens and loosens the lugs (wrong term, I’m sure) on that big round metal thing, I think of tuning my drum heads before a gig. No drummer I know of enjoys it, but it’s necessary. But here, it’s mandatory! Anyway, I love this channel!
It’s called a chuck. And he’s loosening and or tightening certain jaws to make sure that big hunk of steel runs true. An off center load can make even a big machine do the chacha
I really appreciate you taking the time out to show us the metric measurements, it shows you care about your viewers 👍
OK, New T shirt---"Gotta love a 4 Jaw Chuck" . With graphics of course!
Thanks for sharing the big turning jobs, takes me back 20+ years when I used to to very similar work myself. :)
Boy,seems to me that Adam is pretty hard on tools, just look at that poor old chuck key. I never get tired of watching this big stuff get machined
I been away...and so glad to come back and see you still making the most excellent parts from big honking hunks of metal! Truly a joy to watch you, a consummate craftsman so casually performing superior excellence and capturing it so well for us to experience through your awesome videographic skill. Thank you. Please do keep on with your truly blessed life activities!
And I have to add, this is one of the best visual feasts so far!
you do show the finest of detail to the viewers as to mic'ing and dialing in your pieces. Novice would enjoy this detail when learning.
Awesome machining channel
TWO videos in one day!? After we thought there would be NONE until January??!!
BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVAR!
Seriously though Adam, thanks for finding time to up some more content for us. Hope you, your family, and your friends have an awesome holiday!
Gotta love the Pacemaker!! That machine is a monster. I enjoy watching it hog through metal and never grunt! Thanks Adam
Very interesting project looking forward to the next step
Adam I admire your way of working, never in a hurry and "let it sit to cooldown overnight" that will result in Top quality work.
Thumbs-up man.
Hi Adam, Here I sit in the Bay Area in my den watching you.
You are the best thing on TH-cam. Thanks
Thanks for letting us watch you work Adam. Mad skills for sure!
Adam - thank-you for another year of great videos. You have the knack to inform and be entertaining. Enjoy your Christmas cruise and I am looking forward to the new year and more fun videos. PS The huge stuff you machine at work is just amazing...
All the knowledge that you have, one word: incredible. Greetings from Belgium.
Terrific video and I really appreciate the way you take the time to explain in detail every step of the procedure.
Adam, love watching these heavy-duty shafts being fabricated. Hope to continue seeing you film operations at work.
Great work! Looks like you know what ur doing. Thanks for the video.
Watching the rain of hot steel chips turn blue is strangely satisfying. Thanks for letting us ride along, Adam. :)
I’d work for this bloke for free just to learn some of his skill and craftsmanship. Superb, and thanks
greetings from Umeå middle north of Sweden! :)
For some reason I just really like watching lathe work being done. It amazed me some of the large cuts he made on this project.
Greetings from Munich / Germany... every Video is so amazing! I like it! Thank you!
Thanks for the bonus, hope it is a great vacation!
Hi Adam, I never get tired of watching you work. It just inspires me to up my game when I'm at my job. Here's wishing you and Abby have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Looking forward to Abom79 2018, keep the videos rolling pal, nicely done!!
Patrick Sullivan Thanks!
Very nice videos to watch and relax and finally one in a language I understand, metric. :))
Nice to see someone else making heavy cuts. I see so many TH-cam machinists taking little piddly cuts, it’s nice to see the machine actually breathing a little hard. Great job Adam.
Jessie VaineoHurst Yep. My boss threatens to fire us for taking cuts less than .100...he prefers .250
chris0tube I totally understand the reason behind it. It’s just nice to see someone other than me taking heavy cuts. I usually around .300” per side in steel on my Bullard.
Jessie VaineoHurst I’ve taken an .800” face cut before but did not film it. It was more of experimenting.
Abom79 that’s a hell of a face cut. On a Bullard CutMaster at work, the largest cuts I ever did was .400” per side ID, .400” per side OD, and .300” on the face all at the same time.
My little Logan Lathe can only take so much.
Man you know your tools ! I can't believe you could take that much off of that shaft at one time without destroying the insert !!
Great watching you machine as always.
Great videos thanks for giving us the heads up in metric ☺️
Hi, I'm a mechanical turner too, but this year I left my profession. I've been a trader here in BRasil for 22 years and it's a beautiful profession. Parabens, you have a lot of good machines. Keep it up. A hug from Wesley Miranda, your friend from profession.
Awesome video thanks for sharing Adam.
Good stuff as always Adam. I listen more than watch these because I am working but I can picture whats going on.
ATB, Robin
thank you for your nice vids! greetings from Austria !
Great video! This was sitting in my Watch Later for months... can't imagine why it took me so long to discover your channel!?
Love the picture at the end that is presumably you, your Dad and Grandfather.
Subscribed!
Dear god Adam you weren't wrong you said this steel squeals it sounds like a Banshee. Great video look forward to them every weekend.
Man what a shiny perfect finish! 😍
Great video, cheers Adam
These massive pieces I think are even more interesting to watch.
Loving the camera work..and metric conversions..
Thanks Adam - have a very happy Christmas and New Year!
Awesome work - glad I've returned after a spell away from the site!
Another quality video!
Merry Christmas. May you double your viewers in 2018.
Very interesting that you let it sit overnight so it cools down and moves if it wants to move. Very similar to woodworking when we do what we call step-milling. Wood moves a whole lot more than steel, so even if it's been kiln dried we still like to rough mill it oversized and then let it acclimate for a period of time before final milling and cutting of joinery.
I was impressed with how well you levelled that strap when you turned the shaft around. Regards Chris
Awesome videos I'm so glad I found your channel merry Brother and happy new year be safe
I was kind of amazed that the chuck was able to support that big shaft. I had half expected it to sag and start to fall out of the chuck.
dcw56 Oh it’ll hold much more then that. 😎
That giant chip at 19:40 would be a nice thing to have in a picture frame.
Great video Adam.
next level expert ! Next Level Machine shop
Hearing you say Mil after all that millimeter, made me jump for joy HAHA Have a Great Chrissy from all of us in Western Australia
I think these videos are so.interesting!
"I'm just rubbin it. It's not tight, it's just rubbin. Just a little bit of friction there." 😂
sounds like my dentist
Nice heavy turning!
GREAT VIDEO !!!
damn!!!! he can center a four jaw independent chuck faster than i can tight my three jaw chuck. thanks for sharing abom!
Just gotta keep practicing
You are an artist😁
Great job Adam always like to see the big American lathe in action.
Swedish shaft roughing in? Now that’s a title! Jättebra!!
Abom79 you are a true master. awesome
You are one HELL OF AN ENGINE LATHE MAN !!!
Not finished video but thumbs WAY UP !!! Nonetheless Adam. My very best for your's Abby's and your family's Christmas hoping you all are warm and happy along with my bigger thanks for this year of videos ive enjoyed thoroughly they are not only entertainment but have got me through days of massive depression. I suffer pretty bad even when alone. Alex
A buddy of mine is a CNC operator by trade who doesn't know how to operate a lathe or set up mills and such, but always tells people he's a machinist. I told him to watch your videos and then tell me he's still a machinist and not a button masher. Needless to say, he was very humbled by how much he doesn't know. Thanks for teaching us all more with what you know, and don't ever stop learning more about your own trade and craft.
thejohnnybob Just because one handles a different kind of machines one isn't a machinist?
Arne Schwarz A machinist can not only run a lathe, milling machine, etc, but they can feel the machines and parts they run and will generally be able to make a tighter tolerance part versus a CNC machine (to an extent of course). A CNC operator can program a design into a computer and hit a button. Yes, the operator needs to know a lot of the same feeds and speeds a machinist does, but for the most part, the software he or she uses will tell them what an acceptable feed rate is for a given tool and given matterial.
thejohnnybob well ok, i guess it's a question of how you define words then.
Arne Schwarz I just see a lot more skill involved in machining on a lathe and mill versus a CNC machine. Either way, both a machinist and a CNC operator are more skilled than I am in their trades.
Excelente trabajo maestro bendiciones.
Merry Christmas Adam, if it were not for your good work...(and Kieth Fenner) ...I dont know if I would be graduating this spring or not, you guys helped me get my Degree thanks man. Keep up the good work. :)
JIMMY MyMtv That’s awesome man! Big congratulations!
Love it Merry xmas
A big Merry Christmas from just down the street in Crestview.
swedish shafts .. reminds me of my day job at phub
i also enjoy the wrist motion to 'rock it' - 05:22 - let alone the fingers joining in
Thanks for the videos
THANK YOU...for sharing.
Beautiful golden straw colour on those chips as they curled around... rapidly fading into that amazing deep blue. Wow!
Yeah nice! Use that carbide ;-) Unfortunately I got a little arm hair and those little suckers love sticking when the chip breaker starts popping those little sixes and 9s lol
nice work
I like holding it just so to rock it with my wrist too! technique is everything
Nice work
Adam cool stuff. While I love the English system and usually work in it. I work on a lot of Metric crusher and machine parts, I used to use English tools. It was a pain in the ass after it became a regular thing. So I took the advice printed on a Caterpillar conversion chart I have. "If you build Metric parts, use Metric tools" It helps eliminates conversion errors and saves time. A little patience and careful ebay scrutiny has netted me a reasonably priced nice set of Starrett & Mitutoyo tools out to 500mm or so. Inside & out. And those Mitutoyo large mics I have bought are really nice tools in hand. Merry Christmas, and happy new year. I hope you are enjoying your Vacation. keep the good stuff coming in 2018
.. Epic stuff,.. !
Very nice
I like that metric stuff.. greetings from Germany. ;o)
Frank Angermann ,
In Australia we have to be flexible enough to use both systems; despite officially using SI since 1976!
Bernd Felsche, i really believe the metric system is easier, but in the end of the day, what ever works is good. If i had only imperial scales i would have to cry and handle with it. Here in Germany they use imperial measures and threads for piping, and for loudspeakers as well so we don’t get free from it as well...
Hello from Finland!
Thanks again Adam 👍:-)
Maybe in the future you can make a video about how those gears are made.
Hi there
I like your workflow, nice one!
Happy Christmas, for you and your family.
Greetings from Germany
WolF
Happy Christmas from France Adam :)
The cutting sound and finish reminds me of 4340. Nice vid, you make it look easy but I know from experience a job like this is carefully planned out.
I was watching the 8 inch roller video en read at het side suggestions: Swedish Chef! 😂🤪 Keep up the intresting video’s!
holy cow I did not think that chuck would hold that piece, really thought you were messing with us
Career "Machinist", Career "Videography",___________ Abby? Time for all AMAZING!
Boy howdy! Making some big chips for sure! You and Abby have a great vacation Adam and a Merry Christmas.
