- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video from our workshop we are making 5 sets of tailgate brackets for Caterpillar 785 Mining dump trucks. The brackets will be mounted underneath the body of the dump truck and will help to open the tailgate. We are using high tensile steel plate and need to do plenty of machining, gas cutting, milling and drilling to complete the brackets for our customer. We start with boring the plates in our LZMT lathe before using our UniMig straight line gas cutter and to cut the plates in half. We then use our milling machine and 45 degree face cutter to mill the surface of the top plates. After the facing is complete we use an annular cutter to drill the bolt holes into the top plate. We then complete the brackets by use our radial arm drill for drilling the bolt holes into the base plates.
In this video we are using:
- LZMT CW6280D Lathe
- UniMig CG30 Straight Line gas cutting machine
- BM-63VE Milling machine
- Hafco ZX3050X16 Radial Arm Drill

41 minutes... a big bag of chips,,,👏
2:30 AM in Amarillo Texas watching new vid. Who needs sleep? Lol
Tools are great. For me the "Kurtis-thinking" tops it: as precise as needed, not more. Numbering the parts that need to be together, etc. Seems obvious: it's not for a layperson
Thanks for fixing the order haha
By the way one of your signs in the office isn’t level.
Homie needs an additional role as Chief of QA. I'm thinking every outbound shipment needs a paw print sticker that says "Homie Approved" !
I love the fact that you still show WHERE the parts are being used on the equipment. It satisfies an itch.
Thanks for the feedback!
This! A thousand times this! Please never get rid of this - for someone who does not work in the industry, it is vital, because it turns a weird piece of steel into an actual part.
Agree 💯%! Couldn't have said it better!
👍👍

I AM NOT AN ENGINEER AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MACHINES, I ENJOY WATCHING YOU AND LISTEN TO YOUR EXPLANATIONS. THANK YOU. KEEP THEM COMING.
thanks for watching!
It never ceases to amaze me how clean of a cut you can get with a torch.
Or a razor blade, eh baby face 😉
Absolutely! He and I C Weld are true artists with a torch.
@@Watchyn_Yarwood Yep I C Weld is an artist without a constant feed machine. Just like C E E there is a mountain of acquired skill and no bravado or bullsh1t.
Beautiful flame cuts especially how thick the steel was. Very satisfying click when the first side separated.
Oxy-Acet (or propane/MAPP) still the best for steel plate...! I've done tons of this stuff, many tons. Plasma just doesn't do the job on 6" plate...
I love that you always give the little details on everything you’re doing. Whether it is the type of insert you’re using or RPM of the lathe or the type of welding wire, feed rate, and welding gas you’re using. Thank you for including all those details! Love your content
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best things about this channel... no idiotic music or sound effects playing in the background thank you.
I am a long time watcher, but I rarely comment. After all this time, I have to say that you are one of the best machining channels on TH-cam. I love your attention to detail, and the workmanship and the craftsmanship that go into everything you do. I also love that you show your mistakes and your including outtakes. It makes your situation much more human and much more relatable. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I know that making TH-cam videos brings a lot of overhead as to your time in business. But it brings a lot to the community. Best wishes and carry-on!
Man I'm watching ur channel everyday. You are doing machine shop job or mechanical job in a proper way. And also You are using the proper tools. Always You use the lifting belt , no equipment damage, no destroyed equipment. You are using the liquid nitrogen. I never see you doing the job without PPE. You drive the forklift and crane gently and you are talking nicely. I like your work my friend. Really You are the professional worker. Thank you my friend... I highly appreciate.
I love your out takes! I don’t think most people realize how much some of this type of machining can really pucker you up but you make it look easy!
Thanks
Those have to be some of the cleanest torch cuts I've ever seen on material that thick. And thank you for the content Curtis even though it's hard to express yourself at times.
Hey mate appreciate it and thanks for watching glad it was enjoyed
The editing on your videos is always spot on. It always cuts or or gets sped up at just the right time when stuff starts to get repetitive. Well done.
The out-takes are hilarious. Thank you for including them.
The best part 🤣👍
" How ya goin guys, Curtis here from cutting edge and today we...uhhh.....@#$%."
sorry for spellin your name wrong brother lol im a git
Man, a woman who has so much patience and such a lovely laugh deserves some love! Literally I just wait 'til the end just to hear her warm and feminine voice. Also the security officer keeps everything going on and right on time such a commitment is hard to find nowadays.
Just kidding man, your job and the workshop are simply outstanding. Extra kudos for all of your kind explanations. You truly deserve the title of Master of machinists.
'and that's not fucking terrifying' - my thoughts exactly.
Exactly!!!
Way my fucking exact thought aswell.
@ 40:16.. Says what I was thinking..
Proved he was human!
all it takes is put your arm in the wrong spot and you're going for the ride of your life XD
Not only is the machining top notch, shout out to Karen for the camera work.
Thank you 😁
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering You're very welcome 😀
Good ole’ Homeless - no matter is happening, that tail never stops wagging!
Living his best life 🐕👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering he needs a likeness of a ""headshot" for the passenger side door on the truck, and another decal for "Giggles"
Homeless is the man!
I don’t know how you guys come up with the variety of content that you do - it’s bloody amazing and always without fail a learning experience - I don’t think you realise the level of skill you’re imparting to those of us who are learning the trade (very late as I’m over sixty) in some other countries you would be titled a “master” machinist I imagine youd be in charge of other machinist and lots of apprentices - your generosity and no bullshit approach to the work is as Aussie as it gets. Cheers.
amen
The coolant ring thing was great. I think everyone should have a radial arm drill in the garage just in case! Seriously nicely done you make light work of whatever comes your way.
Thanks for taking time to watch the vid mate
Curtis looks ten years younger without the scraggly beard.
🤣 baby face
It’s true, most people do
Not enough 0,s in smoooooth
The wee tash was worse. Better without it.
KARL
It is such a privilege to Be able to watch professionals on their craft working, and sharing their expertise. Thank you
I'll never cease to be amazed at how clean an oxy-acetylene cut can be. Was anyone else thinking "Make the noise" when he was using the level? 😄
Yes. And they were brackets as well.
Oxy-lpg
I kept wondering about the accuracy of what appears to be a carpenter’s rather than machinist’s level.
Always a Binky fan in the comments.
@@asw19B100 usually about 1mm/m for run of the mill kit. Depends how much you spend. I think most Stabila levels are 0.5mm/m.
Have been a Tool & Die & Mold maker for 30+ yrs.....LOVE the slow-mo cutting. Some folks just don't get that the only way SOME things get done....are by PEOPLE....actually getting thier hands on a piece...measuring, cutting...getting it done. Day in , day out! KUDOS!
Friday joy! I love the way Karen beamed right in on the gap between the swinging part and the lathe bed, the spot every lathe operator looks at first. Clearance = clearance. We're good. Another 1A video. Thanks to all three of you.
Sure wasn't much clearance there. Fucken lathe has to be built like a monster.
Until I started watching your channel, I didn't realize the sheer amount of work that goes into most of the work you do. I now have a new appreciation for your industry. Thanks ps keep the outtakes coming too😁
If I was the customer and I knew Homeless was coming along for the delivery I would have ordered them one at a time :-)
Thanks for another great video.
All the best,
Paul
🤣 maybe we should have a "superstar surcharge" haha
Holy shite! I just about crapped myself seeing that unbalanced load being clamped up! That's one hell of a lathe to handle that. Bloody nice job Mate!
Hey mate yeah was pretty sketchy I was going to spin it faster but fuck that 😂
It's great to see some proper hands-on engineering- not many now can measure, draw, order, manufacture, weld etc. Lovely to see. Does that make me sound like a proper old git???
Hey mate appreciate it. Nah I agree, we're a dying breed 😂
Yes go to China if you want to make things lol
@@stephenthompson9722, the American and German car industry is purposefully not producing spares for the vehicles that they've built, it does two things, it pushes up the price of spares that are available and it means that the Insurance companies are making more vehicles "total loss" even though they've only got minor damage. This is to force people into purchasing new hybrid or electric vehicles where there's spares everywhere and scrapyards are full of them because they have "teething problems!" Sadly China have jumped on the bandwagon and are producing parts for the internal combustion engine vehicles. Usual *Made in Hong Kong/Taiwan/China* crap that doesn't fit and falls apart in a couple of weeks. There's no Copyright or Registered trademarks in China! A genuine plastic rear light lens for a 2017 BMW X5 from the dealer....... over $1,000 off ali-express under $100 but it's usual Chinese Crap! We're being bent over and shafted! The only thing that came out of China that lasts longer than a couple of weeks........ the virus!!! even the masks to protect us from the virus are crap!! I was thinking about telling you a Covid Joke............... but 98.94% of you wouldn't get it!! 😂😄😂
@@joseywales3789 The machinery out of Taiwan is on spec. It's the stuff coming out of Mainland China that is all over the place for quality for all sorts of reasons.
@@joseywales3789 yeah it's crazy hey, now we are in a place where no one will be willing to produce stuff cheap in our own country and its too hard to move away from production in Asia.
That’s one hell of a machine to take slinging that much mass offset around and still bore a clean proper hole. I’m AMAZED!
Magnificent set of curtain rail fixtures. 👌
Now you have me trying to picture the rail they'd slide on. In fact if this was 40 years earlier they could have been used to hang the Iron Curtain between the USSR and the rest of Europe.
You're number one in my book Kurtis. Hell yes someone finally knows how to machine. Homeless and the Giggler are super.
Excellent... my Friday morning (UK time) is complete 👍
Nice way to start the day mate
Thank you for sharing and telling me about Matty,s videos. Well done team. Pup likes his new sign.LOL.
Thanks Karen for getting him to put them in the correct order👍🤣
😂👍
The flying flaming chips and curls around 18:30 was some fine videography. Excellent work team CCE
That piece spinning in the lathe WAS terrifying. It sounded really smooth spinning which surprised me. I thought you would hear the out of balance. Thanks for another great video
Yep you wouldn't want to get tangled up in that lot :-O
That brings back memories when i had some new apprentices in my company. They had the first few months of training, and got work do do. One unlucky guy had a few drings on the weekend, and on monday had to plane some of center parts. The lathe SHOULD spin with 200 rpm, but he got the dials wrong, and the part did a wooping 2000 rpm. It was not fun to put the machine back on its foundation. Shit was wild, and we were lucky that the Chuck held a firm grip on the 30kg part....
@@Ordog213 Holy Hell!! :-O
@@brettymike Good thing is, that the machines n the apprentice shop got a kid of Ripcord Emercency Switch. One end was to Clip on your belt, the other side was a simple pin in a stopswitch on the machine. If the operator moved more tha 1,5 meters away, the machine stopps.
I know right - I would have tried to counter balance it and destroyed my lathe - this man knows his shit and the absolute limits of his machines - he rocks as the young folk say,
Machining on a lathe is my favourite. There is something strangely satisfying watching ribbons of swarf coming off a lathe while it turns an uneven piece of metal into something useful.
Thanks again for the great content Kurtis - the best part for me in this particular sequence was the manipulation of the radial arm drill. Versatile, powerful, smooth and precise.
Hey mate thanks for watching and sharing your comment it's always great to know what viewers enjoy the best. Cheers
Great job. I love that dog. I sure do miss mine. I could not leave home without him. He made sure of that.
40 Minutes overdose of CEE, love you guys! I’ll appreciate it so much that Kurtis is showing all this. I’m driving such machines all day, and to look up how big repairs are done is just great. I would even love it more, if there was more excavator stuff, like Bucket repairs and all kinds of excavator repairs 🥳
The 'outakes' are priceless! Just proves that you two are actually human.
Wow tonight's video was great with a real mix of cool machines and processes. Was amazed at how smooth the LPG, Oxy cuts came out. So satisfying. Cheers to a great week end.
Hey mate glad you enjoyed it thanks for supporting the channel!
Wow! Talk about a smooth cut! First time I've seen one of those tracked cutter machines was on here. That is SLICK! 👌
Love the part where Homie sits in the front looks at Curtis and says" Come on ..drive" 🤣
Homie has so much inherent character. He knows Kurtis is there to be his driver.
Hi folks. Kurtis and Karen, you both have an incredible knowledge for what you do. I enjoy greatly watching what and how you make/repair things and the end result of the videography is so professional. The most important thing to remember is that "Dogs Rule" o'k.
Curtis with the level…”when it comes to level, there’s two measurements, ‘close enough, and fuck it’…”👍
😂👍
It's strange in Russia, too, the same thing !
Really love how u show the bloopers at the end. As if everyone else doing TH-cam videos don’t go thru the same thing. Top marks for keeping it real.
Damn, that comes dangerously close to the ways of the lathe! I love watching your work. When I graduated high school in 1976 I had 2 career paths, either a mechanic, or my first love, working in a machine shop. I let personalities dictate my decision so now I live vicariously through your work! Spot on mate!
Thanks for showing clean up of the chips!
My new, favorite machine shop channel. Super practical approach to challenging jobs. Not used in this video but the tail stock chucks are great.
Thanks much. Almost forgot about the great senses of humor that you guys share.
Hey mate thanks for supporting the channel! We really appreciate it and great to know the videos are being enjoy. Cheers
Kurtis it's great watching you work steel with such precision, but hey man you open parcels with the same precision wow.
Crikey, those cuts are way smoother and narrower than I expected. I guess that rolling jig simplifies the job a bit?
Yeah the straight line cutter works a treat 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 1q m.p
I am confused. Why not do the straight line cutting, bore for the bolts, THEN cut the ID? I am not a machinist, so I am ignorant of these things, Thanks and great videos!
@@be007 I'm no machinist either, but could the bored holes have an effect on that beautiful flame cut? Might there be slag inside the holes afterward?
@@leslieq958 I believe he said that the customer wanted a tight grip, so the parts would require a spacer placed between the split in order to cut the ID after splitting…
My OCD was starting to kick in. Thank you Kurtis.
Hi Curtis. Your videos are very inspiring. I now feel more motivated to expand my machining abilities on the lathe, mill, welder, ect. Keep the videos coming mate, love it. Cheers.
Great to hear mate
What a great combination Curtis a great machinist Karen the best videographer and Homeless the best shop safety expert.
My Kelpie x Husky cross girl would fall in love with your Safety Officer. She likes the muscle boys.
I’m in wood framing construction but I watch for the the technical thinking and setups that you do. I have actual changed a few thing we do to be more productive. Thanks and keep it coming.
Nice work! I had a similar production job years ago that was much smaller. Only way to do it better would possibly be with a horizontal mill. Keep up the great videos!
Those tailgate brackets looked a lot like the raw cut pieces I used for my steady rest project. Amazing that they fit on the lathe. You definitely need to remember to keep your bits away from that spinning nightmare. The lopsided load is probably somewhat tough on the spindle bearings. I noticed on a couple of the parts, when you were cutting them in half, that huge amount of internal stress that was released as it almost cut through. This was a challenging project all of the way around. Always inspiring and entertaining. The three of you make such a good team.
You guys do great camera work. It's fascinating to watch how these heavy jobs are done. It's inspiring me to brush up on my welding skills.
Ain't that an understatement. And at that, a lot of it is handheld ...
Which is a bit more work, tiring & tedious than the time lapsed we get.
I was shocked on how well that plate cutter worked, I was thinking water jet or saw, that was awesome! Love how your Doggo talks to you, such a sweetie, you can see how much he loves you.
I've got a track torch but it don't cut as good as yours, that's about as smooth as it gets. Great video guy's and pup. Have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching again
I have to admit. My sphincter tightened up a little when I saw how close those pieces were to hitting the bed ways on that lathe. I love the outtakes at the end of the videos too. Great job😁👍
"We will then translate that into English" lol, I swear I can read blueprints better then I can read a book and I speak G&M codes fluently. Awesome video as always Kurtis👍😎
Cheers mate thanks for taking time to watch
Lucky you know what you talking about. Jibber jabber. And put them in order ! Love the outtakes.
When I see a digital level I expect someone saying:
"Make the noiiiise"
But that is another TH-cam channel 🤣🤣
I think you have a BAD obsession!
@@trevorvanbremen4718 insert "you are a man of culture" Meme here🤣
I have been bingeing for a couple of months and am absolutely loving the channel. It's the teamwork that makes the dream work, Kurtis supplies the fabulous content, Karen's magic with the camera and editing suite makes it look great and Homey keeps everyone safe and reminds all that spoiling good bois is what it's all for. Seeing the guys going for a roll in the Ute at the end just topped it all off for me, huge smile for the rest of the day. 😁
Bravo folks, long may it continue.
P.S. I refer to the noise that Homey makes when he has a toy on the go as his Pittie Purr and I think it's completely adorable. 🥰
I still can't believe you get paid to have this much fun all day, every day....! Favorite part? Your Christmas package palette wrapping at the end usually gets me, but Homey doing the signoff today, Yeah, that'll win every time!!
I am always impressed with Kurtis's electronic plastic tie strapping machine! :-D
This was a bloody.complicated job, enjoyed every minute of it. Saved it for a Saturday evening.treat.
It's Incredible...... Kurtis makes chips out of big chunks of metal, Karen films and edits the work, which is hard work by itself and Homeless big balls does nothing except fun things and Homie gets the fan club and all of the good gifts! (But he is pretty cool!) Where's the Justice in this life? 😂😄
This is true, maybe Kurtis needs to try being a bit more cute and fun on screen 😂
Maybe you should get Kurtis a rubber chicken
@@ColKorn1965 Mmmmm. No. Not recommended.
@@markfryer9880 😢
@@ColKorn1965 What makes you think that he doesn't have one? I never show mine to anyone.
Thoroughly enjoyed today's vid. At the end as you and dog-o got in the truck to head out all I could think of was..."a guy and his dog...friends for life. Well done Kurtis. And a tip of the hat to Mrs. for the excellent camera work.
Hey mate, great vid. I work for BSF over in creastmead and I’m fairly sure we use the same steel plate supplier. I’d recognise that writing and pallet wrapping anywhere!
I was impressed with the "clean" cut of the torch when you split the brackets.
"Thats not fuckin terrifying" quote of the day
I think the best part of the videos are the outtakes. not only are they hilarious, but it Shows the work you have to put into making the content for us sitting on our asses at home to be entertained.
thank you!
""They're not in order"
On behalf of all OCD-ers out there: Thank you Karen!
😂😂😂
Shouldn’t that be “all the CDO’ers out there”? A true compulsive disorder obsessive would have to have all the letters in the correct order
@@raywhite5068 "alphabetical order" is totally arbitrary. OCD is the correct order (and I have it in spades).
@@77gravity Yep, OCD comes in many flavors and varies from person to person and from time to time. Some people are hoarders, or worry excessively about their health, or they get stuck on some of thousands of other hangups that can bother a person. It is a very broad condition. Sometimes I want everything lined up and other times it doesn't matter, but I'm not an extreme case.......so I prefer the version that is in order, but can live with it out of order.
I only saw 1 through 9, where was number 10 😀
It’s really nice to have the correct tools for the job makes life so much more satisfying
I'd love to see some "stats" posted on some of your jobs. This would have been a good one, since you had so many changes to do. I'd love to know what the average set up time for each piece was, as well as the "working" time. When you do welding jobs, I'd find it interesting to know how many meters of wire you used for each weld as well as the entire job. I'd also love to know how may KILOMETERS of wire you use each year! :-)
hey mate thanks for watching and the suggestion some great ideas we will see what we can do with that! 😎👍
Well that was over to quick! I’m going to ask for longer vids and great work again guys
Watching this in the "oh f*ck sake!" t-shirt sipping coffee from the CEE mug! 😁👍
so funny love the out takes and your wife laughing
I bought one of those magnetic chip wands and now everyone in the shop is jealous.
Just love the slow motion of the holes being milled out.... great way to do it..
Was kinda surprised you didn't set up the cutting jig to cut more than one at a time before resetting.
Just an observation... great work!
Thats where expensive mistakes happen cutting corners never work
You know a large piece is being machined with a huge DOC when the falling chips sound like change being dropped into a bucket! Thoroughly enjoy these videos! Thank you.
Opening the packages, all I could think was "That´s not a knoife"
Has anybody ever thanked you for your work I mean how good you do it I love all the dimensions and all that stuff cool stuff like it
Thanks for an excellent video, as always.Thought you were going to drill the holes before you split them. Amazad how clean a cut you can make with the oxy torch.
That at 10 minutes is what I know as a track torch setup. Very good at what they do. Glad to see someone still using them.
The Ormeau gas express does it again 🤣
And that thing spinning around in that Chuck looked scary as shit😳
WOW that's incredible to see that massive ID bored with that counter weight swinging around like that.
You will need to teach the safety officer to sit with his arm out the window when you go out for a drive. Regards from Denmark.
I feel I've done a full days work just watching you mate !
"I C Weld" would have free hand those cuts with his torch :D
Fuck yeah and be straighter 😂 he's the Chuck Norris of torch cutting
I've been doing this shit for over 40 years! Nobody can free hand a cut like the track! I.C. is the best fabricator I've seen so far on U Tube, but I bet that he would agree.
And all the while I.C. would say “ that’s not the way TO do it,it’s just the way I do it”.😎
Brilliant, just shows when you have the correct tools, nice work
When I saw today's project, I thought the Safety Officer got some bones that would last him awhile .
Was on holiday last week so missed the vid!!! Hope you had a good week, looking forward to tomorrows vid. 🚫🍌🇦🇺
Hope you enjoyed it!
I love the fact that Kartis / Kurl answered my mental question about levels within 5 seconds of my thinking it. Also, any chance you can get him wasted before opening a parcel so he makes all of us feel better? Noone should be able to that accurately slice 4 equilateral triangles, it's not normal 🤣
No one wants Kurtis drunk 😂👍🍻
Kurtis drunk would either be terrifying or the funniest thing on earth.
Fairplay to your lathe bairing's with that great lump.... they took a beating in this vid
C'mon, folks. It's Kurtis, with a "K". Can't you see the shirt?!? (Unless, of course, I just fell for the gag... :) It is Kurtis, right? Right?
Yeah it’s with a k but I think he’s use to it
Amazed how clean the cut is using the torch.
