4.5 ton Steelmill Chock Rough Machining - CNC Lathe, Vertical Lathe, CNC Milling

[@noahproblemo1257]

You know it’s a big chunk of steel when the chips from the job weigh as much as a small car. Thanks for posting.

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

That's right. I'm scared when I'm filming a video of a large rotating product.

[@mr.thickey3959]

Enjoyed this video a lot! My son is a CNC machinist/engineer in Port Huron, Michigan, although he & his Canadian wife live in Sarnia, Ontario. I used to do computer graphics for videos, then DVDs, for V-TIP/Mastertask, in Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A. for CNC machinists. The CNC machines we did the lessons on were the Fanuc (remember “King Fanuc”?!), Okuma, & Mazak. These lessons showed how to set up the programs, but without the “mistakes” many machinists make, including the “journeymen’s”! The owner of the small company, designer of the lessons, AND my boss, was James “Jim” B. Hall! He was well known in the machining world for our fine instructional lessons. My graphics/animations showed the programs AND places IN the machined parts that could not be seen with the eyes. Had my job for 20 years (retired in 2005). Greatest job I’ve ever had (I’m 82 now)! Don’t know if the company is still in existence now. But there are a lot of companies today that still may use the CNC lessons that V-TIP/Mastertask produced. “Gesundheit” mein freund!!! My name is Ron M., alias “Mr. Thickey”!

Seeing that spin is terrifying! What and amazing job. Thanks so much for sharing this, James. Best wishes to you.

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

Thank you, Bruce! I'm filming a video right next to a large rotating product. It's windy, too. It's scary, but I finish the shoot quickly. Thank you for always watching. Bruce!

[@wecanfixit9342]

I ran a machine like that we called it the slab mill,it was a Ingersoll Rand machine,it rough cut and finish cut the parting lines on oil field gear boxes and other big just bs that thing was a beast

[@davemanley8700]

I ran a 56 Bullard for 7 years and made some cool things!

[@morefilm5859]

This looks great, nice to see several machines in action. The only complain that I have as a technical trainer and instructor is the lifting gear you use at 6:48 - Man, this should be changed not far from now - Anyway - great job, well done

[@nickwashburn723]

yeah sketchville. that strap should have been tossed a long time ago.

[@steelwheelsminnesota]

Next video will be of the part falling when that tattered sling finally gives. Change it before it kills you, and use protection on the corners!

[@ericm8811]

Hey JamesPark_Machining TV! Do you wish all raw work castings and forgings had those lifting hooks? Thanks for sharing your great machine skills! Ride ride ride!

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

Of course! It's very convenient to handle. Thank you!

[@penguins9645]

Very neat to watch. Are you able to share what something like this would be used for?

[@spoot]

That sling has seen better days

[@captcarlos]

Awesome James. Setting it up on the horizontal for that 2nd opp would have been much safer than flipping it and turning it. I'm sure you could have turned it, but what could have gone wrong!! And the casting......

[@Michal_Sobierajski]

Those clamps on mill looks little bit silly with this BIG part lol 😂

[@poison03218241]

Thank You for using Japanese CNC and machine tools(FANUC and NOMURA)!

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

Those are the best!

[@michaelwieduwilt5979]

Last lift is dangerous without a rope protection with a rubber plate.

[@bostedtap8399]

Excellent work Sir.

[@FrancSchiphorst]

LOL when the chamfering tool is bigger than some CNC spindles ;)

[@jimsvideos7201]

That is the biggest chamfer tool I have ever seen.

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

It's a custom-made tool. It's very useful when processing big products!

[@Sketch1994]

@@jamespark_85machiningtv I can picture my boss pointing at the Noga while looking far away...

[@buynsell365]

Another GREAT video. Where did you learn what type of insert to use for each type of work? Is there some type of chart that you use or did you learn what works best from experience?

[@davidbritt4003]

Big parts mean more sit down time!

[@chrisyboy666]

You don’t want to be scrapping that..😀 I can imagine that conversion on the phone to the people upstairs….the shirt and tie brigade…..one word well two it’s fucked…….lead time for a new blank 2 year…

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

That chamfer cutter !

[@Michal_Sobierajski]

Chamfering feedrate wasn't too high?

[@seimela]

why you did not do everything on the lathe

[@colbywalton3238]

Great work! I was wondering what are the tolerances you are holding here?

[@rextransformation7418]

Sandvik inserts for the chamfer?

[@JesusvonNazaret]

what a job

[@kyledombrowski7051]

Really neat process on both machines. Is the chamfer tool in the HBM custom?

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

This is a custom-made chamfering tool. It's been about 4 years since I used it. It's a little expensive, but it's very useful!

[@amvon-yt1ly5zp1b]

Станки убиты,но стружку гнать годны...

[@keithgutshall9559]

On big part you just roll with it .

[@ogaugeclockwork4407]

No pressure when you’re machining stock that costs a couple of dollars!!!

[@MrPat1953]

Another informative video, "Good job"... except for using that nasty wore out strap to flip this piece. You can sure tell OSHA wasn't around.

[@a-fl-man640]

wow

[@hassanmosa3995]

Hello my dear brother, I want to communicate with you directly, I have business I want to do

[@hassanmosa3995]

so ?

[@aintskairtolskol9520]

just amazes me how a feller like me can have 20 years in job shop operations and just one day they hand me a blueprint in metric system,i say i cant read that shit,they say then we no longer need you,but then i watch these you tube vids,again in metric but controls still read in inches ,tenths and thousands,kinda odd dont you think that we from beginning of time have had the english scale and just like the last election bam this is how it is,do as i say not as i do and the american folks just jump on the wagon and praise the new beginning even though more than half them arent even old enough to know what the old way was. so another lost art bites the dust,all robots,but if you havent noticed when you praise this metric scale and new beginning,these robots can program themself,so keep that in mind in the lunch line at the chapel. enough that i like watching these vids cause im old retired and bored,it is just as easy to delete this channel as it was for me to load that tool box for the last time and hand them carfully back there metric blueprint and wish them a great day

[@loyeantleyjr.8646]

🤩🤪🤩

[@Guds777]

That's nothing, i can do this with a hand file blindfolded...

[@Guds777]

Just to be clear, it was a joke... :D

[@Дьулус-г3я]

Ужасные фаски.

[@desirogerebert3562]

How do you finish the Roll chock bore since the Ra reqd sometimes is within 1.6. Do you take this block then to grinding machine.

[@bigalsbash]

Do roll chocks not usually have a bearing liner of some description ? Leaded bronze or white metal perhaps.
