Almost TOTALLY SHOT Part gets full Makeover welding, boring, drilling, tapping, reaming, burnishing

[@richardlincoln8438]

The magnitude of the damage You are able to revitalize is impressive Brian. Thank You for the time and efforts to share the process with us. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

[@bcbloc02]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gwharton68]

The owner of that part sure knew the right place to get the job done right.

[@jonpardue]

The horizontal mill did a good job machining all these bores, excellent work!

You brought that thing back from the grave! Nice work as always Brian.

Always amazed at the large scale of your machines. Especially with my limited training & experience on 9" to 13" lathes & bridgeport type mills. Large machines can do large scale jobs, the right tool for the job, I get it! Thanks Brian for showing what you do.

Glad you like them!

Thanks ,for your answer. I have a wmw-union bft 80. I need to cut out the center of wheels of tractors. 1100 mm is the biggest. So this must be possible.

Brian u need a Turn Table,you might have been able to do all the work in one set up u dont lock spindle in position and feed the (w) table I operated a Lucas DCP 20 with 72 inch travel on X and Y, It was an NC control not CNC YES, TO ALL YOUR TROLLS LAST TIME I COMMENTED IM NOT PICKING ON THIS MAN,would make it alot easier to machine parts like this also have operated a Develeig Jig Mill

Nice one . Lol , I think you ment " same but different " at the end ! Have you tried Expander pins for the steering , good if the bores are only slightly worn , not completely flogged out ! 👍

Another nice job there Brian. Seems to be a bit of runout on that small boring bar.

It is deflection from being hung out so far.

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

Thank you Brian for the video. Would like to see you put that radiant floor heat to use next winter with the installation of a proper boiler (wood). Any additional barn/shop improvement videos on the horizon? Thanks again.

[@somebodyelse6673]

That HBM is sure paying for itself, would be a lot more hours trying to do that with a line boring rig. Do you ever rebuild bores with hard facing weld?

[@bcbloc02]

No. If you used hard face I don’t think you could machine it with much short of a grinder. Maybe cbn would cut it but it hates intermittent cuts and there usually is a lot of that in a welded bore. You ever bored hard face?

Going to be a popular repair as the hours creep up on those machines. Line boring guys should have work backed up. Maybe you could 3D print some nylon bushings ;-)

Hope they pay you good for this job. This piece is dam near ready for the scrap tub.

[@jimurrata6785]

At what point do you just cut the plates off and start over?

[@bcbloc02]

That is what I said a guy with a good burn table and some fixtures could probably build one in the time it took me to repair it. That being said it of course would have still needed the machine work so…… Regardless I work with the tools I have so it’s the route I took.

Question is there a sign outside your shop that reads "Block machining" There should be. Just saying

Nope. Word of mouth is plenty of advertising I don’t need to look for more work! 😂
