Auger Back again??

[@lukeshurtleff9770]

Isaac I appreciate that you don't pile on all the operators and business owner for stuff breaking. As an owner operator who takes good care of my equipment and also performs maintenance and repairs I've come to appreciate that things just wear out, get fatigued, fail and occasionally break. When something breaks its not an automatic that it's a terrible operator, or just a greedy owner who doesn't care about the equipment his guys have to use. Many times all there is to do is fix it and move on. I'm sure most of your customers appreciate your practical approach and quality work. Thanks for sharing.

[@carlcarlamos9055]

This is the foundation drilling business. It’s the nature of the business.

[@ICWeld]

I fully agree. Not all breaks and repairs are blatant oversight. things just happen.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Luke you are correct, but sometimes the operators are only interested in payday and quitting time, & the owner isn’t much better or isn’t around the job.

[@lukeshurtleff9770]

@@dirtfarmer7472 I agree. I'm just not one of those owners and neither are the guys that work with me. I also see a lack of training on how to properly operate and maintain a piece of equipment, but overall I'd like to believe there's a lot of talented operators and owners who care that just break and wear stuff out trying to do an honest job for there customers🙂👍

[@deconteesawyer5758]

@@lukeshurtleff9770 Pretty sure there are different drills and methods for different kind of rock and none of it is cheap. What they are using usually works well enough that even with the repairs when it doesn't and it gets beat up, it is still their equipment of choice. And it makes work for our favorite welder. Win win.

[@peteacher52]

I appreciate most your drama-free matter of fact explanations given in your normal speaking voice. There are a few machinery oriented presenters who sound as if they are advertising special prices at the local hardware store. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to make these videos; wise would be the teaching institutions who included your videos in their engineering department programme. 🙂Col, NZ.

[@warrenjones744]

LOL Colin. No low angle over dramatized camera shots with the arms folded over the chest and bad assed look on his face!

[@MrKotBonifacy]

_"There are a few machinery oriented presenters who sound as if they are advertising special prices at the local hardware store"_ - somehow that guy called Titan of CNC jumped right to my mind... ;-) I wonder why... Seriously, that Titan guy is the best (or rather "worst") example of this "drama personae". I've tried to watch his videos few times, but no way - after third "boom!" I'm just, erm... "satisfied" and call it quit.

[@angrydragonslayer]

@@MrKotBonifacy that may be true but, at least for me, the base content outweighs that While their academy is still somewhat basic, it's a solid effort and a good check on the ..... basics

[@MrKotBonifacy]

@@angrydragonslayer Hi Slayer. Don't be angry - this could give them dragons upper hand, y'know... ;-) Seriously though... I actually do think Titan is a good machinist - otherwise he wouldn't be able to build his business and be successful, but why all that flashbang? What for? Does it help in anyway? Like, can't he just EXPLAIN? Answer - no, he can't, as he is a textbook example of a person kinda "stuck in a mental/ emotional overdrive", so to speak. No room here for thorough explanation, and this is not to poke fun at him (or denigrate him in any way) - it's just a diagnosis on my part. Which you might disagree with, and I'm fine with it. But I personally know two guys with the same "traits", and I know their "personal life stories"; and I can recognise those pattern in Titan's behaviour as well. So, to sum it up: I never addressed Titan's skills and knowledge, I just can't stand his "way of narrating", if you will. His academy might be OK and quite useful for some of us - still, I'd rather watch videos by that, erm... boring fellow from Edge Precision. All the good stuff, minus the "boom shakalaka" - oops, sorry that was another fellow, Apache Indian - and nicer to watch ;-) Cheers!

"artist with that torch and your workmanship is impeccable" He specifically says MANY times that his cuts are just average and just getting the job done and not pretty.

Issac, it is so good to see another one of your on-the-job weldings and cutting videos. This was for me, one of the best videos that you have ever posted for your fans like me, to view. When seeing a close-up of the plasma cutter actually cutting the metal away, it was mesmerizing how fast the cutter actually cut through the metal. Also, this video was very informative on how to deal with broken heavy metal parts using the plasma cutter. There is no doubt that I will be using it as a reference on how to best use the cutter many times here in my home hobby shop. I will say that you surprised me when you started using the torch, but as I have always said, time moves on with new equipment being invented, but regardless of what changes, the torch will always be with us. In this video, we were treated to plasma cutting, torch cutting, MIG welding, and electrode welding all in one video, wow. Thank you so very much for your videos and informational comments and welding instructions.

[@jesses517]

First of all thank you so much. Now then after I started watching your channel I had a science fair project to do and I had seen you use gouging rods and I made an ark furnace and my electrodes was 1/2in gouging rods that I striped off the copper from. If I hadn’t have watched your channel I would have never made that project work so thank you so much. I also got first place for interview and third over all this was all due to you. Again thank you

That was great, I liked your explanation for correct filler uses. I did wonder about the driller though, I've seen some drillers when in hard rock situations pump a mud into the hole to help the auger push through. It doesn't completely stop wear and tear on the auger, that's impossible but it does extend the life of the auger a pinch so they get a few more holes between trips to the repair shop! Well, just my experience. Thanks for sharing!

Perhaps you could have used a square section bar as a filler at 45 Deg. It's what's available no doubt. Everything you do is a work of art.
