Hey mate. Nice you are taking the time to video your lathe work. Plenty of people kicking you in the guts about your technique I see but I dont know who trained you. You do trust the accuracy of that three jaw alot. Get yourself a mat or soft platform for ya floor mate, ya legs with thankyou. Cheers for taking the time.
I'm another person who has been inspired to do somethings first I'm building a radial arm mill and I got what I think is a good idea on a leveling tool and as good as any tools for tool bit elevation and tailstock allinment I'm going to do a video showing the progression of every thing and if u can edit a decent/quality product I will start a Chanel showing what I come up with rite now I'm buying a 210 hobart mig to do my own welding I am a reseal ticked welder allready however I have not done any since 2004 . I'm on the lookout for alot of stuff I'm gona need like spindexter angle plates ect u am also building a full lighting system for a bike and trailer w signal an break lights as well as breakes on the trailer powered from the hydraulic breaks on the bike
It would be interesting for you to do a video telling us about your story and to maybe do a shop tour going over your machines/equipment. How you got to where you are. Like what training you have? How did you grow a smaller shop into bigger shop? And any tips for people trying to get into the trade and start their own shop. Thanks!
@@CHMichael, tem um video no canal, onde ele explica tudo certinho o por qué ele trabalhar sozinho... Ndaha'ei ko pohã porã hina ñande rapicha kuera, emoingue haguãnte nde rogape.
Took machine shop in high school worked in a factory doing titanium bulkheads for Phantom jets for Vietnam!! 747 landing gear, wing spars etc.. Your videos bring it all back! Can smell the coolant and cutting oil!! Love watching them!! ☮️❤️
I'm not sure what sound is worse, finger nails on a chalkboard or the sound of the cutter on the uneven sides on that chunk of steel. I know nothing about machining yet find your videos incredibly entertaining and can watch for hours. The parts you repair and create are HUGE compared to others! Keep up the great work!!!
Thank yous both for the video work and the final result honistly I can't see fault with the video work it's clean and fluid start to finish . Kurtis's work ethic is plain to see high quality as if it was his own machine . Hope the videos helps bring in more clients too Craig front Scotland UK
When the work spins rather than the drill bit, you really get to see just how a twist drill works. I am amazed you can keep a sharp edge on these bits, tools and end mills.
Served my apprenticeship in the early eighties manual machining large components for marine and base load diesel sets for Mirrlees Blackstone in the Uk ,this is great work lads I miss it
I have made hundreds of parts similar to this piece in my fifty years in the trade. There is something very rewarding in the completion of such a part. I still do such things, but I enjoy teaching apprentices now more. This trade seems to be vanishin. Nice flame cut.
I found this video after viewing something else. The videography three years ago was excellent and even better now. I was able to follow along and am convinced of the professionalism you both put into each video. I will say I appreciate the narrative now because it makes it easier for a novice like me to understand the process at hand. I also enjoy hearing Karin comment as well. You both do an excellent job and like a fine wine you both get better with age.
Be careful about having the radio playing in the background. TH-cam is real stingy about that. Don’t want you getting any copyright strikes. Great job! Now I’m on to part 2!
Hello Miss Karen dose a bang up job on the camera ! The camera is crystal clear . I am 74 and never seen a job shop like yours , great content Kurtis ! regards Skip Victoria Texas
Respect 🫡 I decided to watch a old video. I am so close to getting my own CNC shop going man… this summer the snow will melt and I can’t wait… when I retire I am going to go to Australia it looks so beautiful and all the birds seem so awesome. Best life to you guys. I have 2 dogs just like yours no one wanted the killers but my family loved them all the same and they are perfect just like your dog is. Take care of yourself.
You mentioned not leaving the key in the chuck Pandit reminded me of my sophomore highschool year. Kid left it in and started the lathe sending it flying and we all got to watch the shop teacher chuckle and go "great now drop and give me 25" (while the machine was off of course)
Seeing my old man come home from the machine shop and see these Cs as welts on his chin and neck chest area . Those chips are hot ! ! 100 degrees in the shop .. damn hard times in the 50s-70s
I don't know how I stumbled upon your channel, but I'm glad I did! I love the production quality of your videos...no unnecessary BS thrown in. I've always wanted to be a machinist, but it just hasn't worked out for me yet. I took a few CNC machining classes at a community college years ago, but bad teachers turned me away. You've got a new subscriber here, and I'm going to binge watch your videos this morning. Cheers from Virginia, USA!
Hey mate welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching and supporting! I got kicked out of school in 10th grade and never looked back. No doubt it will happen for you if you want it that bad enough! All the best mate
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering : The teacher we had in Grade 1 primary reckoned I was a retard and made me do Grade 1 twice - so I was old enough to legally leave school after 2 years of high school and get a job. Best thing I ever did. Went to uni later as a mature age student, and became a professional engineer. The only retard in that primary class was the teacher. I reckon there must be quite a few like you and me. Some teachers were so bad they could make sex boring.
Love your work as an ex stainless sheetmetal worker i did do a little machining nothing big but enjoy what you do if im still around after Covid id love to come see you operate nice safety officer awesome camera operator keep it up happy new year From NZ
Really enjoy this series but have a very new found respect for the power of these lathes and geared reduction boxes in generall, after seeing a video recently of the operator getting caught on the lathe chuck and the rest as they say is history sadly, a timely reminder if nothing else, cheers mate, love your work
One Top tip mate, Quick change tool post. You will save a lot of time and wrist pain/injuries. Also WNMG is better for broken edges. You could just use boring bar to relieve the back of cushion area, no need of grooving tool, just use the natural angle
I’m telling you, someone could make some cool art with those big chips. Metal flowers or something, I don’t know. Maybe cast in resin? I bet your fans would buy them!
Hard to believe you don't have a quick change toolpost. Best quality of life investment I made for my shop. Good work though, and an amazingly cute safety officer.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering The *XA wedge styles work great for me. I'm in Europe which favors the multifix style a lot, but the wedge style just seems more robust, and also easier to make your own tooling for. Keeping track of shims is just such a hassle... I am on a slightly titchier lathe but have no problem doing 10mm DOC runs on mine with a CXA post. But that's just what works for me, you're doing good work so you know, you do you
Ah, so this is where my interests meet! I'm watching DankPods (Australian musician collecting iPods) and Abom79, amongst other machinists. And now I've been recommended an Australian machinists! Gotta love the algorithm. Great videos, fun to watch and if you listen closely you can hear some of the Australian dialect I've learned to love from DankPods (as a German, I find it kind of fascinating!), with plenty more to be found in the comments, just puts a smile on my face together with the big machines and parts being made :) Keep up the great work!
Man, I worked in a shop where the owner/bossman would routinely leave the key in the chuck. Really pissed me off. Needless to say, I did not stand close at all. Only once did I make that mistake in machine shop class and never again.
Expected to see the material fixtured to a tombstone, slid behind see through doors that you can't see through, and the finished part emerge dripping wet some time later. Was seriously ecstatic to see how wrong I was! New subscriber here!
For my little Myford I have a wood block on the wall to hold my chuck key and other critical tools - RIGHT in front of me. But with that beast - a flying chuck key is lethal. It's nice to see people using coolant. Lovely workshop.
Now this is precision engineering! Love the channel mate. Shame you can't explain the process in depth but time is money unfortunately! 🙄 keep the content coming 👌
Starting as a manual machinist doing cylinder reworks and one offs and moving over to CNC mills/lathes making hydraulic cylinders and manifolds boy do i miss turing handles but definitely don't miss the stray blue chips landing on ya neck when you're hogging material!
Hey mate welcome to the channel always nice to know others in the industry are watching! Im hearing ya, had a few bits of hot swarf down my pants that's why I don't tuck my shirt in 😂
It's nice to see real chips, C's n 6's the colour of money, iridescent blue. Nothing like cubic inches, in autos, HP in machines. I've only got 7.5hp, you must have 15 or so with that lathe, nice. Enjoying watching over your shoulder, see you in part 2. And yes, the algorithm swung your way, thank your darling I'm sure!
Saturday morning routine includes coffee and the latest cutting edge engineering video. I've been waiting for this one since the Instagram post! Keen to know how long these jobs take? Might be something to add at the end of each build... Just a "total hours to complete" included with the before and after... #spilsymakes
Hey legend thanks for watching and supporting really appreciate it! The complete cylinder head was a solid days work in it. Great feedback thanks mate will definitely consider it for future videos. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
That must be a hell of a water jet cutting those hexes - also the yanks are always using 4 jaw chucks for safety - you seem really comfortable with that 3 jaw.
Would be a challenge to hold a hex in a 4 jaw chuck safely. Ive seen six jaws for really big hex works. This is the stuff we were trained to make 40 years ago. Nice to see these old skills still around.
Hey Kurtis, I really enjoy your work. I'm not a machinist but I find what you do and its scale very interesting. I saw an interview where you said that you worked along. This is great because you learn everything about your craft especially from the mistakes that you make. There is a down side though. At some point, and this may be far in the future, you will want to stop working. It appears that you have a good business with great demand from the excavating industry. This will probably continue and it may be a good idea to develop a plan to sell the business. If you have helpers, employees, or apprentices, they may provide a means of passing on the business. I have brothers who work in the automotive repair industry. They have a similar approach to yours. They are having a difficult time moving away from the business because there is so much investment tied up in the facility and customers. Do yourself a favor and think about this it will make your transition easier.
Them 45deg snmg inserts are great for champhers... believe it or not I've worked at several shops that threw the holders out "cause no one uses these" except me... guess I'm no one... and people wonder why I went back to logging.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Well, whoever she is she does a damn fine job! I thoroughly enjoy watching her videos, pass on my congrats! Subbed the other day, now I'm hooked. I can't think of a more satisfying way to spend time, watching chunks of metal being transformed into works of art. 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Hi Karen, one thing I forgot to mention, would you consider leaving the captions on screen for a bit longer? I watch the machining with interest and sometimes don't notice the caption until it disappears - so I have to rewind a bit to read it. Keep up the great work! 😎
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering actually I disagree…. He is good! He is very vigilant, a lot more so than most humans…. A bit like Levi used to be and how Cody is now on Andrew Camarata’s channel…. Those dogs are lab inspectors….

Hey mate. Nice you are taking the time to video your lathe work. Plenty of people kicking you in the guts about your technique I see but I dont know who trained you. You do trust the accuracy of that three jaw alot. Get yourself a mat or soft platform for ya floor mate, ya legs with thankyou. Cheers for taking the time.
I have a question? What is the biggest steel shafts you'll did for bulldozer or crane's?
Was that a metric shitload, or imperial?

Great vid! Just listening to the music of the lathe and cutter is all you need. Got my machining fix for the day!
When the work spins rather than the drill bit, you really get to see just how a twist drill works. I am amazed you can keep a sharp edge on these bits, tools and end mills.
Love the always observant safety officer!
Why not get him a custom-printed vest that actually says, "SAFETY OFFICER"?

I have made hundreds of parts similar to this piece in my fifty years in the trade. There is something very rewarding in the completion of such a part. I still do such things, but I enjoy teaching apprentices now more. This trade seems to be vanishin.
Nice flame cut.
Hey that's awesome good on you don't think I could ever go into teaching haha
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering in a way you already are👍
Watching those chips come off and then turn blue after landing (9:52) is a trip... would love to see a slow-motion shot of that!!

World need more safety inspectors like your's. ❤
Great video, thanks!

I've seen the sketchiest interrupted cuts on this channel and you guys always do it so well.
Love it!
I’m telling you man… it’s insane how well this guy knows how hard he can push his inserts.
Lol. Safety office on duty.

The death rumble from those interrupted cuts would make most peoples pooper pucker. Great job mate!
Hey mate hahaha too right, thanks for watching! 😎👍
Carbide has come a long way. Remember on a milling machine interrupted cuts is all a carbide insert ever sees.
Seeing my old man come home from the machine shop and see these Cs as welts on his chin and neck chest area .
Those chips are hot ! ! 100 degrees in the shop .. damn hard times in the 50s-70s
Brilliantly edited & music was soothing too. Keep it going be it 3yrs later or 10 yrs.
I'm a CNC lathe guy and always have respect for those who run manual.
Hey mate cheers you're a legend 😎👊💥
I'm a cnc mill operator and this is cool to watch how they steal do it.
That was one hell of an interrupted cut.
DCBNR / DCKNR - holder is true!
Great camera work! Curtis seems to know what he is doing! (understatement!) Great job ! those cutting tips are amazing!
Seeing the way the chips come out of the drill bit is oddly satisfying.

For all of us non machinist viewers, more explanation would really help. Keep up the videos!
Man, I worked in a shop where the owner/bossman would routinely leave the key in the chuck.
Really pissed me off. Needless to say, I did not stand close at all.
Only once did I make that mistake in machine shop class and never again.
The hydraulic cylinder that's for must use some crazy pressure. I have changed one like that at a recycling facility on a baler.
Hey mate, it's not the pressure but the cycling speed the cylinder runs at that's scary. Cheers 😎👍

Wkwkwk 😂
At least I sharpen my own drills. I need to get a fixture kit for drills and milling cutters.
Great video, looking forward to part 2 - want to see more of the camera operator though
Thanks for watching. Camera operator says sorry she is staying behind the lens 😄
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Well, whoever she is she does a damn fine job! I thoroughly enjoy watching her videos, pass on my congrats!
Subbed the other day, now I'm hooked. I can't think of a more satisfying way to spend time, watching chunks of metal being transformed into works of art. 👍
Hi Fred thanks so much glad you enjoy the videos! 😊 Regards Karen (Kurtis' better half haha)
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Hi Karen, one thing I forgot to mention, would you consider leaving the captions on screen for a bit longer? I watch the machining with interest and sometimes don't notice the caption until it disappears - so I have to rewind a bit to read it. Keep up the great work! 😎
Hi Fred absolutely I'm sure I can do that for you in future editing! 😄
A cool channel you have. I like spending time here and watch the different stuff you make. Keep on posting and a gretting from Denmark
Lol I was really looking for the safety officer only to see it was the 🐶 🤣
He's not a very good safety officer to be honest 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering actually I disagree…. He is good! He is very vigilant, a lot more so than most humans…. A bit like Levi used to be and how Cody is now on Andrew Camarata’s channel…. Those dogs are lab inspectors….
You know safety officer is looking for trouble when theyre walking around WITHOUT their clipboard
