Kearney & Trecker Parking Attachment Part 2

[@ericcorse]

That roughing mill cut like no nobody's business. I never get tired of watching the K&T.

[@EverettWilson]

If only the Bridgeport horizontal attachment could do cuts like that. You're letting me live vicariously, Adam!

[@tedsykora1858]

I have stick welded farm repairs for many years and almost always used #6011 rods for the penitration and it is good on rusty metal, or so I was told . After this video is decided to try the 7018 rods over the top and it was really nice and smooth. Easy to use. This youtube stuff has been really improving my results

[@nate2569]

There's something satisfying when you get a pretty weld. When I saw your smile at 33:40 I could relate. Great videos BTW. Wish I still worked with steel and had all the access to the toys you have.

[@mertsilliker1682]

thanks Ada m I always walk away with so much info. your attitude says it all. I have learned so much from you and the many skilled and talent craftsman who so much of their time is spend week after week to share. I don't know if realize the huge effect you are having on the viewing public. I'm just starting collecting tools and have developed a love and passion for what you guys are doing. I really don't know how to repay you and all the others who have collectively each week to continue my education. for now all I can say is thanks

[@srp01983]

Looking forward to the clean up next week, I've just bought a shaper for my shop so it will be just right to see you using your machine. Great stick welding too, nice when that slag peels off by itself. Thanks Adam.

[@Jazz-km8dd]

As always Adam your videos are teaching us there are more then 1 way to get a job done. Great video!

[@theguitarman22]

Hey Adam thought I would comment on this old video and let you know people are still enjoying them. I've enjoyed going through your back catalog. Good series. Looks like the fume extractor is works well. Keep up the good work!

[@chipwhite7393]

Adam, Thanks for showing "cleaning up" after a cut in this video. I was beginning to think cleaning up was only required in my shop!! Ha.Chip

[@smileydekock7708]

It's awesome to make your own tools with your own tools, nice video, as always, keep it going, that smile when you look at the welding, says it all, you liked it

[@morendin12319]

Great video! I am a student of a machining school in Norway and your videos is a great learning tool.

[@Abom79]

+Sivert Standal Great to hear!

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

I love watching that mill eat. Great video man love when we get to see you melting some metal. Every time I watch your videos my kids say "dad that's like your shirt."

[@federicomoulins3027]

Hi Adam! Great expertise in welding! You really are complete in everything you do! Very good your explanations, you spend a lot of time to not only entertain, but to teach. I highly appreciate. Greetings and success!

[@Abom79]

Thanks Federico!

[@calthmlikiseethm704]

Love watching you work you're a fine Craftsman..

[@TreeTop1947]

Adam, during the video you asked if we enjoyed video content of the K&T making chips. My answer is YES! Treetop.

[@Abom79]

+TreeTop1947 Awesome!

[@stanwooddave9758]

Thanks for sharing Adam. Reference old welding Rods. You can revitalize them via baking in an oven @ 450 - 500 degrees for approx. 1 hour. MAJOR HINT, DO NOT USE the oven in your house. The smell will hang around for at least two or three weeks. My wife was not happy, and I don't blame her, but it does work. I did this about a year or so ago. How old were the rods, well look up Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant. The plant was built between 1973 and 1984 by the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO). By the way the rods (that keep the FLUX on) work great, which was better then 80-90 percent them. (50 lb's can, that was open.)

[@dangerdave616]

Thanks for the video Adam, I always enjoy seeing you welding.

[@johnleake708]

That K&T mill is a metal eating fool. Great video, watching that thing eat is amazing. I can only imagine how much power it is using to make that cut.

[@ramoine35]

You are an artist with those welds, fantastic work!

[@deej19142]

I love all of the videos you do, we should be paying you to be able to watch these!

[@antmallett6065]

@26.59 that flux is standing up like a cat's tail. No better sign of a good stick weld. Never been able to do it myself, so hats off to you.

[@Abom79]

+Ant Mallett Always a good sign to see that flux curl up like that. Sometimes I get lucky!

[@antmallett6065]

+Abom79 No luck involved, pure skill. If you ever visit South Africa, I will make you a pulled pork sandwich to rival your welding skills! Thanks for all your hard work, and a great channel.

[@cojones8518]

It's the moisture that gets in/on welding rods that is causing the problems. In the welding arc the water becomes Hydrogen and Oxygen, two reactive gases that you never want in a weld that cause porosity. Heating in an oven drives the water off. You can get one of those cheap toaster ovens for the shop that is long enough for the rods to lay in or use your regular kitchen oven and set it to about 300F and bake the rods for about an hour or so before you use them. Bake more rods than you think you'll need, it doesn't hurt the rods. I'd suggest doing this for all the rods you use, even new ones because you don't know how long they've been on the shelf. A lot of people make rod storage containers out of sewer pipe with a threaded cap on one end and throw in those desiccant packs to suck up the moisture. I'd advise storing your rods in them after baking since you live in a humid place so close to the ocean. You can also make them any length you want, for example for TIG and brazing rods to keep them from rusting. Just my two cents, keep up the good work.

[@XJapa1n09]

Man, that vent looks like it's actually working really well. And it doesn't make any weird noises in the camera like that other one you had!

[@Korzar25]

I always like the soldering videos. Thanks for sharing, Adam!

[@robertphillips41]

you can recondition your welding rods by putting them in the oven for an hour or so at 250° or higher. My dad used to do that. And it worked.

[@Abom79]

+Robert Phillips Good tip

[@capman911]

+Robert Phillips You beat me to it Robert. I have a small brown refrigerator with a little bit of heat in it I store all of my rods in.

[@Landonpeanut]

+Robert Phillips Actual re-drying welding rods need to be done at ~650-750 degrees. For work that needs to be up to code, it's frequently best to just get a fresh, sealed container of rods.

[@PainCreator]

Thanks! Especially for the welding lesson. It's always superb experience to watch you work.

[@roeng1368]

Good job. That fume extractor is a good addition to the workshop too. Horizontal milling is great to watch, i don't think you can beat it for slogging off large amounts of metal.

[@brosselot1]

great video love watching that machine eat. great welding anytime the slag rolls up as you welding is a sign you are a professional. great work.

[@keldsor]

Hi Adam ! Oh, some nice heavy duty job you showed there - and I love when the slag by itself starts lifting - that showsa good welding job done ! I have some 5mm stricks ... nearly 30 years old - just laying in the shop and they still gives a good and smooth welding.

[@Abom79]

+Keld Sørensen You bet Keld...old rods will still burn as long as that flux isn't falling off. Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment

[@baggd65]

Good thing I had my welding helmet on. Great video.

[@esoomreltna]

Adam, Wow that is one heck of a great milling machine. Very nice set up and I like the way you position the camera. Thanks for such a wonderful video. Eric

[@TroyDejayzoo]

looks like someone is now sponsored by Lincoln Electric ;) haha in all seriousness im glad, i like when you guys get sponsorships and free equipment, i know you get paid from youtube, but making these video is a lot of extra work. you deserve the perks. This goes for all the youtube channels i regally watch not just Abom

[@ChrisFiggatt]

Another great video! I loved seeing that setup to cut the angle.

[@freethought2296]

Love your work and always look forward to all your new videos!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Good looking welds Adam . Very nice build man ! can't wait for more ..

[@deej19142]

I loved this video, I asked somewhere on one of your videos how you got the different cutters on there and I wondered how they stayed. I dind't realize that there was a keyway, and spacers, thanks for showing this part. Again I'm new here. :)

[@mcd-chaos]

Chewin' it up and spittin' it out. Love watching the K&T do it's thing.

[@jeffreypfeifer862]

Nice work Adam... love that sneek(?) preview of the metal shaper dressing out the weld! :)

[@larrysperling8801]

hey adam i just got a 70 inch tv with wify. utube on the big screen it dont get any better, i'm in heaven. thats going to be one heavy duty docking crane. good to see the stick welder in action, they don't get any respect today.

[@jusb1066]

+larry sperling nice, jealous as hell here :) all those hi def youtubes to catch up on!

[@RGSABloke]

Hi Adam, a nice selection of work, keep sharing young man.

[@JRD77VET]

That rougher really made the K&T shine. It just removed a half inch at a time and wondered what was next LOL. I was wondering about the weld chamfer, that answered that question. That Tweco holder is the style I used as an Ironworker , I really like them. It looks like the smoke eater was money well spent, that worked pretty good. Once again, nice work and your welds looked pretty good too. Jeff

[@u-genefabricationmachine4725]

Adam I enjoyed watching you stick weld it seems to me that you still have a welding ✋ you layed it down really nice great work

[@ToxicMrSmith]

Pretty top notch welding skills when your slag peels off for you.

[@KnolltopFarms]

Nice work Adam, and another great SNS also, Thank you! Hey, I'm sure you saw it, but I wanted to mention how cool I thought the blue reflection of your welding lens the TIG rays made onto the freshly machined face of the work-piece @ 22:59 was. That was really trippy looking, and even the green clamp turned blue @ 24:00, LOL! Thanks again and have a great week, Aloha...Chuck

[@Abom79]

Cool! Thanks Chuck! Those welding shots usually turn out pretty awesome

[@bcbloc02]

The K&T and the old Miller in the same video, that right there is a sweet combo. :-)

[@Abom79]

Two work horses in the shop! 👍👍

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

great video man,70 degree weather,god I miss the south friggin 22 here.love those gloves,looks like a Lincoln commercial! lol. I'm a 5x guy myself and have never seen a jacket like that to fit me,looks great on ya,great video as always

[@nanoSushi]

Hello Adam! Nice video as always! With cool mist and agressive cuts your K&T looks like steampowered machine!

[@just.some.dud3]

Awesome stuff Adam, that K&T is something else!

[@seanevans6901]

Hello, I recently stumbled upon your page. I don't know anything about your line of work but it seems to have drawn me in, I think its your demeanor. You come across as a patient teacher. If I were in your line of work, I would want to be taught by you.From: Sean

[@Barefoot3us]

Adam, Great looking root pass's and good cap pass's. You gotta love 7018 ;-), but I'm old school to. When I was welding we kept our rod's in a rod oven and they lasted a long time, as you said the coating will start to chip away after so long. The smoke eater is doing a great job also. I sure am enjoying this new project it makes me want to do some welding or not Ha. Best, Jeff

[@Abom79]

+Jeff Bernstein It was great being able to burn some rods in my own shop again Jeff! Glad to hear your better and out of that hospital room.

[@jamiebuckley1769]

great job so far adam really enjoying it. nice welding as well and that fume extractor seems to be doing the job flawlessly.looking forward to part 3 just making popcorn for it now lol.

[@cosprint]

I also like watching the K&T That an interesting machine. The welding was interesting as well just learning how to right now, so every bit helps. Thank You.

[@trooperkent]

Nice job on the welding 👍🏻 Makes me miss the days when I worked in a fabrication shop Looking forward to the next vid Best wishes to you buddy.

[@brosselot1]

Robert you are quick on the draw was going to say the same my dad did the same thing. Also I build a rod holder out of PVC an has screw cap on it an use some of those desiccant packets in with my rods keeps them real well.

[@IPGVirtual]

Im not first but sure as hell not last! Thanks for the video sir! Love it.

[@DSCKy]

Those welds turned out pretty nice...

[@animalmother2242]

in welding school, the instructor gave us a tip.. if your working with older rod that hasn't been kept in a sealed container or in an oven - you can strike the stick and short it for a few seconds... it will warm the rod up and burn off any moisture. handy trick when your stuck using old rod-

[@HardwayRanch]

+AnimalMother224 FANTASTIC tip - thanks!

[@lito11111940]

Is there anything you can't do ? Dude is on point !

[@63256325N]

Thanks for another great video. You probably noticed it already but just in case you didn't, your tig torch was leaking coolant.

[@Kennnny77]

Grinder? Are you nucking futs? lol Your viewers demand perfection and any excuse to use the milling machine and all the rest of the tools that make us jealous. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[@Abom79]

Maybe my two teases this weekend indicates the path at which we will take

[@eddiekawecki2510]

Great series! My favorite electrode holder for stick welding is a whip line made with a Bernard short stub holder with the handle shortened 1 inch. I just like the positive connection with the rod and the way you can position and bend the rod. Just a bit slower when you really have to pour the rod to it fast. Ed K. Cleve. Oh.

[@kroghsmachineshop4708]

Mann!!! That K and T is a awesome machine, love to see its eating metal, interesting welding feature, I learn something 👍

[@RandallMoore1955]

Looking good, Got to love that K AND T.

[@bobbyhorn7059]

I would love to have a couple of those heavy duty clamps you got there. Good welding real smooth.

[@everythingcnc7552]

thanks for you videos man, it's great to see the other side of the machining world (non cnc) pretty impressive stuff man. I just subscribed

[@turbocobra]

Fun watching you work on this one Adam, fume extractor looked like it was working well. Crazy how rigid the K&T is, 1/2 DOC, must be nice! :)

[@Abom79]

Yes that mill is very rigid and nice being able to do some really heavy duty work in my own shop.

[@hibiki54]

Noticed some porosity in the welds before you put the cap on. Maybe moisture in those rods, but I don't know how you store them exactly or if they were un-opened and you just opened them. Been enjoying these videos for the past year. Thanks a bunch.

[@ciaransynnott7958]

You no its a decent weld when you smile after looking yourself ;) good job

[@rayreese2]

Fascinating watching a master at work. BTW - you must have a heck of an electric bill :)

[@Squat5000]

+Ray Reese I can vouche for that... with something like the K&T mill and welders, it takes a toll. Personally, my bill killer is a 12KW electric kiln for treating knives. A few hours of that running (and some metals require an 8 hour total processing time, like 50crv4 ), and it gets expensive in a hurry.

[@Abom79]

+Ray Reese It's not too bad when I'm not running the AC. But it's lower then you might think.

[@robldyson]

I sure do wish I had chosen to be a machinist instead of a carpenter. Not jumping or falling off roofs. You and the other guys I watch on KZbin sure do make it look easy. The 2 years of machine shop in 10th and 11th grade let's me know that it's not. You must have grown up in a machine shop. It's easy to tell how a man moves in his work environment that his comfortable with in it. Maybe God knew that I was too squirrelly for a machinist. I do like watching you guys craft with those machines though. Love the vids. Keep'em coming, Adam.

[@63mrl]

Adam, you can try baking the moisture out of your welding rods. Place some on a old cookie try, turn your oven to 225 degrees, bake them for 20-30 minutes, let them cool, and store in dry rod storage tubes.

[@suzylarry1]

nice chop'n , nice to see your machine do there thing!

[@SirDumle]

Cool reflection from the welding helmet... first i thought it was to mutch light in the camera ans some bad effects.... but realized it was reflected from the helmet... =)

[@shockwavecity]

"I hope you guys enjoyed watching that" Sure did. Abom is the fucking Bob Ross of machine work.

[@dougankrum3328]

+rewtuser ...and we'll just carve off a 1/2 from this 'happy' piece of steel plate...!

[@Abom79]

LOL!! Always love the Bob Ross comments

[@Abom79]

And that'll be our little secret

[@dougankrum3328]

Back in the mid-1980's, I made a lot of weldments for fixtures to be stress relieved and machined later...2-6" plate...some stuff was 2-3 layers like this parking attachment....b-prints called out for edge welds...then 1-1/2 to 3" holes and plug welds in the center areas....some mandrels for nosecones weighed 2-4 tons, 3" to 4" thick....4-5 feet diameter...5-6 feet long...big lathe work later... Lots of the fixture work was for Aerojet/Rocketdyne here in Sacramento, Calif...

[@XJapa1n09]

The Bob Ross of machine work!! Now that would be a whole lot less funny if it wasn't so true!

[@cliffordfender1159]

That sucker is perfect !!! No pun intended.

[@simonfitch1120]

Sheesh. Hate it when these videos end.

[@robgerrits4097]

Very interesting, learnt some things today. Thanks for sharing!

[@timr31908]

Very Nice.........Really like watching .

[@davidrichards5594]

Very nice, When you think about it, a horizontal roughing slaber probably removes the most lbs/hr of metal that you can do in your K&T. Probably more than a big drill in a lathe.....Dave

[@jasonburns1407]

That's some nice welds man:)

[@jasonburns1407]

Looks like the mist cool is handling such a large cut wow!

[@renemichaelvulfmortensen1830]

Nice rough milling love the sound and chips of this type of cutters compared to an newer style cutter with inserts. Mist coolant works fine but an advantage of flood coolant is chip removal - Getter done 😅

[@GUSMIX22]

Atom you are one "sharp dressed man" in the Lincoln gear.... Looking good my friend ! Brian F. AKA GUSMIX P.S. I think Miller should outfit you as well, since that is the welders you are using, or, Lincoln needs to send you "all" of there welders you need :) :)

[@RobertKohut]

Nice welding!! Perfect technique!! When your slag peels up like an "insect's ass" you know your bead is good. (Insect's ass: Some insects raise their abdomen when mating or hunting and it looks like the peeling up slag.)Another great video!!

[@billdlv]

Looks good Adam, now I see what that sneak peak was in SNS, no grinder :P. You may want to check your hose clips on your torch. Sometimes they wear out they are pretty small, or you may have a kink in your leads somewhere. The fume extractor looks like a good addition to the shop.

[@Abom79]

Thanks Bill. The fume extractor will be great when the doors are shit and the AC is on.

[@billdlv]

+Abom79 Yeah crappy doors strike again :) . I know what you mean where I used to work part of the shop was a corner with little air movement. We had a wall mounted extractor, and it worked good for cutting and welding.

[@lwilton]

Gee Adam -- Keith Fenner is going to be doing a shaft straightening demo at the summer bash. Maybe you could take along some of those warped mill arbors. :-)

[@thething4763]

Hey Adam, I recall in a previous vid that you checked the arbors and found that they are straight until you tighten them up in place on the mill. In a couple of shots in this vid it appears to me that the old running bushing is the culprit here. You can see that the bore does not appear to be concentric with the outer diameter, this is also evident in the discoloration on the running bushing. Time to mount up the new one and give it a test. May be time to put a new bushing in the overarm too.

[@Abom79]

I have a brand spanking new arbor I plan to use to test things out. I do know the new spacers I bought are not concentric with the bore, and that's really playing eye tricks on us.

[@MrJgstoner]

haha cool fume extractor man! good to see. guess you got tired of that smoke!

[@mariomarcelosiad3112]

making the work experience you can not be learned in any book - excellent as sienpre

[@tmcclellandsr2696]

Nice overhead vent.. Now if it had a light up in there shining down on the work for the camera it would be perfect.. lol Nice work thanks for the vids.

[@kirin9415]

If its a watercooled torch you should check it for leaks, i saw it dripping, btw nice heavy cuts.

[@skm9420]

not only can you machine well, you look to be a very talented welder/fabricator. Abom79

[@joint831]

excellent, as usual

[@dougbourdo2589]

Good thing you have those Armstrong clamps. They must hold what? about 8 or 9 lbs. of clamping force ? !! Nice welds. Stick is all I have ever done. Love looking at that molten metal as it works.

[@THEIRONWORKER]

Adam I think I would have left a little extra metal in the weld area so you could use your Shaper to finish off both of the welded sides

[@dimtt2]

Excellent heavy cutting and welding Adam. I really like the looks of those weld beads you laid. Why don't you consider leaving them like that instead of grinding them down or milling them to accentuate that this was a fabricated build.

[@jusb1066]

+dimtt2 I agree, when you see good quality welds on machinery or other heavy weldments, they dont grind them away, just paint will give it the finish you need

[@Abom79]

+dimtt2 Just how I want to build the part, no right or wrong way.

[@forrestaddy9644]

Oh, yeah, love them K&T's. That slab mill rougher works greatl Lots of stock removal AND low cutting force. Try that same cut with a regular slab mill and the tangential cutting forces would have lifted the work in spite of the clamps. Adam you keep your 7018 in a rod oven? I got 20 year old rod that runs just fine but I keep it in an insulated sheet metal locker on top of my water heater. where it's usually 130 F. It's been 'splained to me that xx18 and other lo-hy variant welding rods are a little hydroscopic. Use them un-dehydrated and you get porosity.

[@ArcAiN6]

The best thing you can do for your rods for long-term storage, is to dump a little rice into the canister. the rice will more readily absorb the moisture from the air in the can, and keep the rods nice and dry.

[@RyanWeishalla]

Those clamps held that piece during the slab milling pretty good. Not a vibration in it.

[@Abom79]

+ILGopher Those HD Armstrong clamps won't let ya down Ryan! They will hold the world!

[@hearthawaii23]

Another great video! Any chance the rotary welding table will be used in this build? It would be cool to see it in action.
