nice to see the younger lads doing nice work, well done from a crusty old miller who started in 77 yes 1977 lol
Nice one Thank you, learnt a lot from my old man, you learn the best tricks and tips from the old boys lol
Dad was a bricklayer but self taught and made Grass Track bikes using the JAP racing engine so bought a lathe and mill gas bottles for brazing.
I have been using the mill this morning and the lathe tomorrow for the past 50 years starting @12!!
Then started as an apprentice in 77 on a Bridgeport no power feed or dro!
The old lathe earns it's keep but Dad has been gone a few years
Tricks....I have a sack full lol

Nice one . Good to see an old Herbert working . Cheers 👍
Thank you and it’s probably our most loved machine, it never skips a beat 😃
This video is fantastic looking forward to more 😊
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it!😃
Thanks for your low-key style, clear and interesting, machining video presentation !
Thank you Ted 😃
Lots of kool holding tools. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice Job Tom!
Thank you 😁
Nice work man. 👍
Thank you 👍😃
Beautiful work!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Pretty sweet to see young guys working in the trades. Youve got yourself a subscriber here, good luck hoping your channel takes off!
Thanks for the sub!
Hi, Nice work! Hope to see you around! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the visit
Lovely stuff!!
Thanks woodsy
The old green lathe making the nut is real interesting. I have never seen a machine like that. The tail stock is real cool.
The Herbert is our favourite machine 😃
Very good job 👍
Thank you 😃
Que gusto ver talleres y trabajadores creativos y calificados!! Saludos colegas.
Thanks for watching
Nice work. Consider using a cheap LED ring light or spot light to brighten up some of the shots. That and some white balancing would significantly improve the video quality. I look forward to seeing your future videos.
Thank you 😃 I’ll get on Amazon now haha, hopefully next time will be brighter and better than ever!
Heya! Nice work there! Small tip, to save the tip of you life center a bit you can also throw on a flange nut or turn a small contraption that fits it a bit nicer. We did that to secure bigger parts from walking out of the steadyrest on longer jobs too.
Nice one mate I’ll defo give that a go next time 😃👍
Super!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice bit of handiwork.
Thanks 👍
Nice video! Your videos remind me of Cutting Edge Engineering Australia's videos.
Thanks mate I appreciate that, the guy is a legend!
Great explanation... subbed here.
Thanks and welcome
Loose the music, I'm here for the work.
The next video will have no music, stay tuned 😃
che spettacolo...
Thank you 👍
Привет. Хорошая работа)
Thanks 😃
TURRET LATHE USE NICE WORK SAME MACHINE I HAVE MAKING CUSTOM BOLT AND SHOULDER BOLT.
Thanks 😃
Great Video! Question out of curiosity: Why don’t you maschine them out of plate material to reduce material waste?
Thank you 👍 and we do it out of billets to keep the bolts strong as they are under great deal of pressure
Thanks for making this video bro enjoyed it
If you're like me and you have a CNC mill and taps give you anxiety, you should try thread milling
I only use taps when I absolutely can't thread mill
Glad you enjoyed it 😃 and yeah I agree we only tap when we absolutely have to
The material cost per bolt. Wow! A seriously specialty fastener.
They are used in a Victorian mill and were originally forged, but can no longer be sourced 😃
Having forgings made would have saved much waste and given you grain flow, this would be desirable on such a stressed part.
They was forged originally but it’s quite hard to source forging theses days and these bolts was needed ASAP 😃
@@SterlingNorthern I understand your situation. The 'just-in-time' ordering mentality does no one any favours. This may be a good time to establish a relationship with a forge, even if it's a long way away. Those number of forgings would take 1-2 days to make saving the engineer time and money, as well as giving much needed work to a forge. It also helps the industry to think holistically, if the forge goes, then, when you really need it, it's not there, so you have to look far and wide to get the job done. Currently in Australia we are down to one heavy forge and a handful of general blacksmiths. The one remaining Trade school is mainly catering to hobbyists and trying to survive. Once the training goes it's all over. Once it's all over we will have to import our forgings from India or China at great expense. We must not succumb to short-sightedness. And always remember the Production Managers old saying "A lack of foresight in ordering on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
Nice work. I hope your channel takes off. It takes a while. Ask me how I know. Given you a sub.
Steve.
Thanks Steve!
I've no clue if it's been an issue for your shop, or even if it ever will, but the amount of material wasted in each of these bolts really grabbed me.
Have you considered some sort of trepanning step for removing the ~⅔ of those billets you're currently having to rough (potentially saving you on tool wear and materials costs)?
I dunno, this just seems like a lot of work to put into what's ultimately swarf on the floor...
We wholeheartedly agree that it's unfortunate to waste such a significant amount of material. We've extensively explored our options, considering the immense challenge of moving all that swarf. However, we've encountered difficulties with trepanning due to the diameter and length of the shank. Initially, we considered welding a billet onto a shaft and machining it down, but dismissed this idea due to potential strength loss, especially considering the extreme pressure these bolts endure. If you're aware of any specific tooling or alternative methods, we're eager to hear your suggestions 😃
@@SterlingNorthern I agree it's not worth to compromise especially replacing an originally forged part.It would have been a different story if the T end was much larger in diameter.I have a machine shop and noticed our similarities in prep before cnc machining especially when there is no hydraulic steady to do all the prep.
@@SterlingNorthern After posting my comment, I spent an inordinate amount of time dwelling on this topic, trying to brainstorm options on this. And your point about trepanning being nigh impossible at that depth kept tripping me up...
Various thoughts came up and were subsequently dismissed since they introduced new points of failure. Like, sawing/grinding off the excess material prior to the turning operations for instance.
The only one that seemed to hold a glimmer of promise (in my mind) was some form of wire EDM processing, but that's an entirely new kettle of fish, and I imagine quite cost-prohibitive...
It sounds like you went down all possible solutions as we did 😂 and I agree with wire EDM but like you say it would open up a completely new can of worms haha, I do appreciate you trying though 😃
Have you considered procuring precut T- blanks from an adequately thick plate with desirable properties using water jet. Then the T blanks will just be machined down to spec. I watched similar approach used by Cutis of Cutting Edge Engineering channel.
❤❤
У меня станок токарный,
я его люблю !
стружку я на нём
изготавливаю!
Thanks 😃
Сделано хорошо, но очень много металла в стружку. Я бы сделал это из листа, только на универсальном токарном, кроме радиуса в задней части, а радиус отфрезеровал бы на поворотном столике. Думаю, было бы даже быстрее
Good idea 😄
New sub hoping your channel takes off! Do us a favor though and turn that music down/off! 😊
Let’s hear the machines and everything you have to say 👌🏽
Thank you for the sub and I’ll try a different editing method next time 😃
@@SterlingNorthern even without grumpy commenters telling you what to do… you have a great content and do great work 😎
Hahaha 😂 Thank you a really do appreciate that
Bosh
seems rather wasteful of material. I bet theres a way to forge and draw the bolts
They was forged originally but it’s quite hard to source forging theses days and these bolts was needed ASAP 😃
Nice video, good commentary, horrible music 😅
😂😂 thank you and don’t worry the music will not be coming back haha
idk man, doing all that work on manual when you have a cnc machine.. Chamfering that nut on manual, that was cringe. As was that prep work, cutting to a OD before cnc lathe. lmao
Thank you for your comment. We perform pre-operations manually for two reasons. Firstly, billets come in various sizes, so instead of adjusting the CNC program for each one, we turn them to a uniform size, which also helps preserve CNC tool life as it doesn't have to remove the harder outer layer. Secondly, we run this job across multiple machines simultaneously (where op 1 occurs at the same time as ops 2, 3, 4, etc.). Regarding the nut, I agree with your point about multiple operations, but we're currently limited to a one-tool machine due to a turret issue on the CNC lathe assigned to this job. I hope this explanation clarifies things.
For non-English speakers the commentary is almost incomprehensible. Please, use much more accurate pronunciation and "global English". without too much accent. Спасубо!
I’ll try for next time 😃
Nowt wrong wi Northern 😂
Nowt wrong indeed 😂😂
Are you Australian or Bri’ish?
Bri’ish 😂
@@SterlingNorthern i see. You don't know how grateful i'am to be able to see someone machining using Metric system. Anyway i'm sorry if my silly comment bothers you.
Haha nah dont say sorry I though it was funny, literally read it as bri’ish 😂
