6 Meters Long Drive Shaft | CNC Lathe | Hankook PROTEC-9NC

[@BruceBoschek]

It takes a big lathe with large spindle bore and years of experience to handle that bad boy! Thanks for letting us watch. Have a pleasant weekend.

[@ICA17887]

Hello Chris. I'm always won over by your machining videos and this time it's a six-meter piece, no kidding, it's heavy. I don't know how you manage to have zero everywhere with your comparators on such a long part, there's no point in vibrating. Great job as a watchmaker machining this noble metal.

[@Cheeta666]

every shop has its guy who sing/whistle christmas song all year long XD

[@TheNoobShadow1]

its the whistle guy again 3:30 :DDD

[@ChrisMaj]

Yeah, that's him.

[@latemnf]

I see you guys have a little drummer boy in your shop also 🤣

[@ChrisMaj]

Yeah, he's always walking around, tapping on something.

[@mftmachining]

Thanks, Chris for showing us that unusual piece....excellent job on the limits...top.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, certainly a long shaft to deal with, the lathe didn’t mind at all mate, thanks for sharing, cheers

[@ChrisMaj]

Haha, she never does, I take good care of her.

[@I.Odnamra]

It may not be Christmas yet but people still put up their Christmas decorations around October anyway.

[@ChrisMaj]

I hate that, at least wait until after the Thanksgiving.

[@steel.machinning8675]

Excelente. Este formato de video es por mucho de lo mejor que has mostrado. Animo saludos desde México.

[@jimsvideos7201]

Here I thought you were in Poland this whole time. Huh. Pain the in bum having to accommodate such a large piece, but at least it was only a little off each end!

[@ChrisMaj]

So how did you finally figure out that I'm in the US.

[@robertoswalt319]

@@ChrisMaj my guess is the flag on the wall when you were spinning the shaft around.

[@jimsvideos7201]

@@ChrisMaj The flag on the wall 😉

[@ChrisMaj]

@@jimsvideos7201 Yeah, I thought so.

[@ehamster]

Me too, but for me it was the guy “helping” at the tailstock speaking some strange form of English and the fact that the drawings are all in bananas.

[@diopmoumine1887]

Toujours égal a lui-même j'aime beaucoup se travail bonne continuation

[@johnlawler1626]

By jaysus that's a long shaft, only ever done 3m meself,as you say hard to handle more than anything ,great camera work, thanks for sharing 👍

[@CncFrezar]

Dobra robota. Ale mam pytanie, kto tak fałszywie gwiżdże o 3:40?👍😁

[@erikslagter3231]

And already whistling Christmas songs. Fun!

[@ChrisMaj]

V obchode je vždy ten jeden chlap.

[@ShainAndrews]

Some of us are trying to get other things done over here Chris. Now I find myself restraining the urge to spin up five different versions of "that's what xyz said".

[@NJUSAWEST]

It's a beautifull job, i did one long time ago and i know how hard is this. Good luck my friend 🇧🇷

[@SvcGlobal]

Top notch machinery and outstanding skills, thanks for the video.

[@adamepb]

Always enjoy watching you work

[@richardbooth3213]

I always rough down to 2mm above the diameter with a CNMG then use a TNGP to turn to size.

[@nigelsmith7366]

I see your shwarts is as big as mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣... Space balls reference 🤣🤣🤣

[@shawnhuk]

Oh man, I only wish I could struggle to accommodate such a large work piece - I’d just laugh if someone even mentioned something that long… sigh…

[@95dodgev10]

Stuff like that sucks depending on what you have to do to it. We had a job one time for some 20"ish diameter heavy wall pipe 20ft long being used as a mold for fiberglass poles. Those things were limp noodles and had a terrible bow in them. We had to turn and then grind them to a certain diameter and a taper. It was a nightmare.

[@latemnf]

I'm sorry bro but, that's what she said..

[@95dodgev10]

@@latemnf in my opinion you have nothing to be sorry for. If anything i should be the one sorry for missing such an ideal opportunity. Carry on good sir.

[@latemnf]

@@95dodgev10 my kind of guy lol.

[@shawnhuk]

Do you guys do surface condition testing, or do you just have a speed and feed memorized to obtain particular surface condition requirements?

[@ChrisMaj]

After all these years I have a pretty good idea what feed /speed and tool nose radius is gonna get me to that surface finish I'm trying to get.

[@diopmoumine1887]

J'aimerais bien travailler avec vous parce que j'aime bien ce métier

[@guigui5943]

I love this job it's passionating

[@connoreverly8496]

Do you find using s smaller tool nose radius typically works best for finishing? What insert sizes and radiuses would you say you use the most in certain circumstances? Like roughing, finishing, light cuts

[@mohamedsalahcnc7910]

Why do you don't use another tool to make soft surface?

[@nigelsmith7366]

This may be a silly question but is the colour of the chips a indicator of how much load is on the tool/part... As I noticed some chips were blue and others were a slightly brown colour

[@lucidgosu1492]

Blue means that heat from the cut is transfered to the chips making it blue.

[@Itsme_glen]

What’s the go with using imperial units for? Wouldn’t you rather metric mate? It’s so much easier

[@ChrisMaj]

I was born and raised in Europe, finished trade school all metric. I moved to US, had to learn imperial. All the machines are set up for inches and all measuring tools are inches so that's what it is. I got used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. You know Americans love their inches 😉

[@Itsme_glen]

@@ChrisMaj I wouldn’t put up with that. I’d be telling the boss off and make him see the light that metric is easier to use and better way to go.

[@tricolorbart1980de]

give him more money per houer

[@jimdean294]

Did I read the tolerance correct? Only 1/100 th ?

[@kisspeteristvan]

Nice , but 2 bits too long :D

[@ChrisMaj]

They always tell me "we got this long job coming in ", but they never tell me how long until it's in the shop.
