They use it a lot in the nuclear industry. It is strange stuff, contains Cobalt, Chromium, Titanium, Iron, Aluminium, Nickel. I used to machine it with cutting oil in the 70s making tie bars 42 foot long.
MMMM Beer Good! I have watched you do this a number of times David, oddly enough I don't seem to tire of it. I especially like the way you use the Bridgey to it's full potential. You might not be ale to take huge cuts or work all that fast at times, However they really are a versatile machine with a bit of imagination. Cheers
@@charlessimmons7825 Oh, them's fighting words, insulting another man's favorite beer. I don't drink, but even I know that you don't insult another man's favorite beer that keeps him going all week.
I’m gonna guess that most of these are specialist parts for military use ( they are the only ones who can afford this sorta stuff ) but they may also be used in nuclear or massive marine engines.
Love these vids, used to be an engineer, and did some trepanning back in the day, nothing as big as you do tho. Great dig at Titan, made me laugh, BOOM.
That poor Huron mill. I spent 11 of the past 12 years using one. Such a waste. Good call with the John Smiths though. As aways David great video thanks for sharing.
Well Mr. Wilks, that was very interesting to say the least. Amazing your friend gave up so quick. This video came at the perfect time to help with giving us something positive to focus on. A lot of us here are in need of something good happening, as you probably heard we elected a scoundrel and a socialist to lead our country. Thank you for brightening up my day. I'm sure there are other who needed it too.🍻
Don't throw in the towel yet sir... Let SCOTUS do its work and let the "rightful heir to the throne" be crowned... and let him start ripping through the swamp... The fraud has been self-evident from the start... But.. enough politics... 🤫 Great job as always Dave !! From the Emerald Isle.. 😎👍☘🍺
Great one again Dave . Chugging down a couple of coldies myself . It's been 43 deg C all the time here up north of Western Australia , just doing a bit of work in an iron ore mine extension ! Cheers .
Jesus H... how do you guys survive in that.. 🙄😟 I'm an irish ginger living on the west coast of Ireland & when our summer temps get to 20°c upwards I am under severe pressure... 🙄🥵🥵 😎👍☘🍺
Great video as always Dave, I'm a toolmaker myself but enjoy watching your videos. Were you cutting at slightly higher rpm hen your mate? It sounded like it was dragging a bit on his machine. I've machined nickel based alloys for a few years, up to 60 Rockwell 🙂
Cool! Had to look up the alloy lol. I've heard of it but never knew the properties. Yeah that would be some seriously tough stuff 😀. At 6hrs a piece you may need another box-o-beer! 🤣 Thanks for sharing! Cheers 👍😊👍
Oh my - that sound!! Something is tortured and dying LOL. Seems the Wilks treatment is needed... dang that is hard stuff! Amazing how the insert lasted. Great job... take care Dave. Only one case of beer ?
That wealthy business owner should spend a few pounds on a VFD drive and see how much better the lathe cuts , lower / raise the RPM to find the absolute optimal conditions. Geared head stock won't lose any torc , less vibration & harmonics = better tool life and chip control all that have added this to there equipment have been very happy with the results . Hours of listening for the failure point must be nerve racking as hell.
Its the UK. Wealthy business owners do not stay wealthy business owners by spending money on new high tech equipment when they can just kick the operator in the balls to make the job run faster.
Nickel alloys are just a bitch. But you can make it happen with the right tools, speed and feed. Lets not forget about the coolant too. Nice work with Nickel Dave, too. VF
Sounds like we needed some John Smith's for the American election! Of course I don't think even one of your trepanning bars could have cut thru all the bullshit that went down with that! lol You got it done well mate top job!
I really wish David would upload again, I hope he is in good health. Maybe a space rocket company finally got ahold of him and stuffed him in a back room with a Craven lathe and nothing but Nimonic alloy then covered the door with a massive nda and gave him unlimited John Smiths beer and thats why we dont get videos anymore. just a theory
Dave, I noticed that the 4 jaw chuck has two painted jaws, can you please tell me the story about them? I suspect that it is for when you are swapping over or around the jobs. You keep the two painted jaws fixed and only open and close up the other two. A quick check with your dial indicator and then you are away. Yes?
I mark my jaws. When the work piece weighs many tons, it becomes very difficult to make adjustments at the chuck. If you only move two jaws, it's quicker and easier to dial in again.
I have worked with the big sweaturn and TOS mills ... and Turn ..! Love it mate. U are good. A true GB Craftman... Stay cool.. Remember to shift them inserts and drive vice cutting meters. ( how many you run in this material? ) 35mm/min ? v= 318* 35 / ( 25.4*7inch? rit ? ;-)
Mister Wilks, it's a really great job you do! If I may ask a technical question, is the asymmetry between the tools a concern to you? I would think that since the one is cutting the outside diameter it must be under greater torque than the other which cuts the inside diameter. Do you compensate for that bij using a slightly shorter cutting edge on the outside cutting tool? Kind regards, W.
Dave try a softer cheaper wcmx. You know Rob from MB try the cheapest lamina they do. They wear but stay in shape so you get to use all 3 edges. Sanvick are good but for some stuff just to hard an start to crack.
David, this is not chatter, This is a choir of devil's having their tails shredded! The few teeth left in my maw would have shattered and fallen [even faster] had I had to listen to this awful concert. You are either brave, deaf, or both ;-)
Hi David, hope you’re keeping well with the aid of john smiths to the rescue, the question I would like to know is how long did it take take to do the longest piece in the job? Have a great week ahead pal. Phil
Prefer Magnet, but heyho each yo his own. Just a question tho, how do you set your steady rollers to the right diameter, I had a row with Joe Pye when I told him I turned a piece of scrap to the correct diameter and set the steady of that.
He was doing the 31" long bar first. On shorter jobs you can support all the weight with the chuck jaws, true up at the chuck and hammer (soft/copper mallet) the end of the bar true...doing so requires moving back and forth (from chuck end to steady end) until both are true..then set the steady to the diameter of the bar which is now running concentric to the machine...if the bars at 41" are the same diameter as the 31" long bars then the steady is already set and doesn't have to be touched.. As for his longer jobs (50"+) he shows you in one of his other videos, marks the centre of the bar and uses his revolving centre as a guide to set the rollers of the steady. When I set a steady I usually run the machine for 5 minutes (without cutting) to make sure the job isn't walking. Especially when your working on a ø36" x 40" long. The weight is close to 2.2T and when removing the centre it drop .010"-.015" in the steady. If your scrap bar has been turned and is still in the machine then it'll be running concentric and the steady can be set the same as above.
Note at the end reads "John Smith's beer. Makes women better looking and men work harder" 😉🤣

Nimonic alloys were essential for jet engines. Invented in Britain during WW2.
They use it a lot in the nuclear industry. It is strange stuff, contains Cobalt, Chromium, Titanium, Iron, Aluminium, Nickel. I used to machine it with cutting oil in the 70s making tie bars 42 foot long.
Yeah, they used Nimonic 80 right up into the 1980's at least I believe.
Real engineering many thanks for posting. Keep it up. We still make things in the UK....
Nice, in Australia it’s called the carton economy ie it will cost you a carton of ( insert preferred tipple).
Cheers
Same in Newcastle. 4 bottles of Brown Ale for a small job, 12 for a big job. Weirdly I don't do 8 bottle jobs.
Stones bitter is interchangeable.
Or in Australia it can be referred to as "The Slab Economy" for the slabs of beer.
Raymond and others that read this thread, I just call it the beer Economy.

Nice work Dave! 👌 Makes you wonder how they cut stuff like this in the 40's and 50's when they were making jet turbine wheels.

Boom :)) kennametal insert last forever :)) I like sandvik to. And didn't found anything better yet.
I agree with you on Sandvik, to me they are the best.
_David, I'm fascinated by the amount of "exotic" alloy your shops machines!_

I’m gonna guess that most of these are specialist parts for military use ( they are the only ones who can afford this sorta stuff ) but they may also be used in nuclear or massive marine engines.

Do you use new pad on each piece of material or use same pad on all ?? What speed and feed did you use

Far to cheap David, it should be a pallet of smooth!
At around 6:00, machining the nimonic sounds like The Mandalorian theme tune.
What do your customers do with these tubes that you core out?
Hi David, Never seen this done before, very interesting, How do you align the trappaning tool to run down the centre ??
Put a dial on the chuck and rotate about the od of the trepanning tool. Adjust the steadys to clock zero around the tool.
@@sma11 Yes I guessed that but Dav did that on his last video and then adjusted it by eye, seems a bit hit and miss!!
always a good vid !
