Wow the modern tooling and lathes are a long way from what I saw back in the early 1960s of course the equipment was even older. I worked on an new underground project across London, UK called the Victoria Line, it had twin train running tunnels and stations platform tunnels enlarged after the running tunnel had passed through. It was the first time Tunnel Boring Machines had been used in London, these were made by two different construction companies. The company had two sections of the project that run on from one another and so a large site was set up at the join point. Spares for these machines were not off the self so an engineering shop was set up together with a blacksmith shop, electrician & carpenters shops. Downtime was costly so these shops worked 24 hours repairing failed items and making spares for often worn out ones. Very little was made by the TBM suppliers which did not please them. I just loved watching the machinist getting over problems using the old lathes and tools of the time. Your equipment is a wonderland compaired to there's. Thanks for showing and explaining the now tooling.

[@halheavyduty]

Oh wow. Thanks for sharing that good sir. How fascinating. I’m always humbled by what machinists could do back in the day with the tooling that existed. Those men knew how to get creative. Grandad was like that. He just figured stuff out and made it work… grinding up his own inserts. Remarkable

[@adhawk5632]

Stoked you found david wilks's channel, some of those trepanning tools, just EPIC👍👌🇦🇺

Matt….another banger. I am a truck (small off-road style) fabricator in beautiful Phoenix Arizona USA. I am fascinated with machining and have been giving serious thoughts to getting a small lathe for some tighter fit ups and the precision I really want on suspension parts. Keep up the knowledge transfer and I’ll keep watching.

[@halheavyduty]

Definitely get a small lathe. It’s actually pretty easy to machine stuff, and a whole lot of fun. That’s how HAL HD started. Grandad was a driller who got an old second hand lathe to machine up drill parts. The rest is history! 🇺🇸👊

Formerly in IT in Melbourne. Retired to Bakung (4km inland from Panimbang, on the West coast of Java), Indonesia. I find the machining videos very relaxing for some reason. I can imagine it is not relaxing for those on hand when something goes wrong with all that metal spinning. I really appreciate your explanations of what is being done, and why. I am another of the many looking forward to our field trip to see the big rig.

[@halheavyduty]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! 👊 I’m itching to get out to the big rig myself. Almost got there this week, but it started pouring rain! Thanks for the feedback too. Much appreciated mate 👊

[@RichHornerCheeseAndJamSandwich]

Excellent seeing that insert explainer! We hear these insert types being mentioned all the time, but don't get an explanation of what each letter actually stands for. Going forward, perhaps you could flash up photos of that cheat-sheet each time you mention an insert, and those that are interested can pause your video to see the chart! (YT tip, use the < and > keys on your keyboard to move frame by frame, when paused). This allows everyone to learn new stuff, but doesn't interrupt the flow of your video! Win-win!

[@halheavyduty]

Great suggestion, I'll see what I can do to include that in the future!

[@luckgrip252]

Excellent machining and these inserts do seem to perform really well. I'm happy to hear something new regarding turning inserts, which squeal, which last a long time and are heavy duty capable which I love the most, hate the weak inserts which last for couple parts and puts the tool itself at risk of breakage. Watching from Latvia, Northern Europe (more commonly known as Baltic states)

[@halheavyduty]

Agree with you. We just go for good solid inserts (usually ISO) that will hold up under average conditions. Try to keep it really simple in the shop.

Hi matt Good video! Interesting insert. I used to be able to buy pin lock inserts that look like an old school hand ground chip breaker, they were awesome for soft sticky steels. Unfortunately I no longer have a source for them tho I see some guys running them. Fifteen minutes into my day I slipped and fell of the table of our 6’ Webster & Bennet boring mill and landed on the sheet metal guard. Impressive bruise on my backside.

Exactly. Yeah it has pretty awesome rust prevention properties - which is why we love it. I haven’t noticed a reduction in tool life, so it’s kind of a winner for us.
