Machining a new Hydraulic Cylinder Head for CAT 651 Tractor Scraper | Part 2

This video is Part 2 of heavy duty machining a new hydraulic cylinder head for a CAT 651 Tractor Scraper apron cylinder. In this video we are machining the 2nd side of a 140mm chunk of steel plate. We are machining the internal seal grooves and boring internal diameter for the wiper seal before lots of interrupted cuts and chip breaking to turn down the outer diameter. Then roughing down the centre for a 45 degree nose taper before the finish passes. The cylinder head is then setup in a Vertex rotary indexing table on our milling machine to drill the 6 bolt holes. The part is completed with glass bead powder blasting for a satin finish.

I see 2 sets of skill here. The obvious is that there is a very skilled machinist working here. The less obvious is that the camera operator is really good. Smooth, gets nice shots, shows the process. Team work. Ver' naice!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Thank you mate we both appreciate it!

[@leesass3602]

When a machine part looks like a piece of art , you know the man making it has mastered his craft

[@garyrigoni6198]

just watched your video and i was so impressed with your skills.i am 65 and have seen some trades decline due to automation.great to see a young bloke keeping the trade alive and to such a high level.well done

[@-ScottyT-]

It is a delight to watch a skilled craftsman such as yourself create. Thank you very much for sharing. It is genuinely appreciated.

[@johnelliott4521]

I never tire of your videos turning raw steel into precion parts and works of art.

[@erniemathews5085]

It's always a surprise when I find I missed a video. You are at the top of the list.

[@peterparsons3297]

Excellent work, lovely to see somebody that still has the manual skills... respect from a lifelong machinist and retired heavy plant guy

[@cadjs]

Lovely work mate, the blasted piece in the final shots looked like a 3D rendered model! I really like watching rough chunks of metal turned into pieces of art like that...that would look good in any modern art gallery!

[@daleburrell6273]

...THAT'S THE TRUTH-!!!

[@freethought2296]

Hello from Washington State USA! I love your videos; I just wish there were more of them, and they were a bit longer. There's something magical about making something useful from a raw block of steel. I was a machinist back in the late 1960s through the 1980s, and I especially enjoy that you do all the work from lathe to mill to welding.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks for watching from over there! Great feedback will definitely work on some longer videos. Most of the first videos were thrown together from footage we weren't planning for KZbin 🤣 Appreciate you can relate from your own experience! Cheers 😎👍

[@robbymagen2]

Make me feel good to know we have such skilled people in Australia be safe robert

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks for the great comment. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍

[@garyhost354]

I honestly never knew Australians could do such good work. Most of the ozzies we meet are not good representatives of their trade Sadly

[@achilleaustin]

@@garyhost354 what cuntry are you from mate?

[@user-rn9vb7kt1i]

Good afternoon This shot, in which the blank is shown first, and the finished product in the next, brought me to the saying of the famous sculptor. He said that there is nothing complicated in creating a sculpture - you take a stone and cut off everything unnecessary!

[@davesalzer3220]

Those big ribbons bring back painful memories. Beautiful part.

[@Hightower301]

Im glad you are using the metric System 😃 greetings from germany

It’s only USA, Liberia and Myanmar which still cling to the imperial system. All other countries worldwide has made the shift to the ISO metric system.

[@hanhdhsj]

@@mrvegardeide Those three economic powerhouses... 😂

[@ethan4915]

Just landed myself an apprenticeship doing the exact same work you do, well wouldn’t trust myself just yet to be this good haha your videos are amazing seriously I can’t go to bed without watching one😂 hope to one day be at your level mate👍🏽 and I love the revolving tailstock chuck

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate congrats on the apprenticeship! Thanks for watching glad you enjoy the vids. 😎👊💥

[@watermalanblew]

Ethan 4915 turned into a crackhead and never realized his dream of being a machinist

[@HeicoFeenstra]

....Homeless seems impressed in the last few seconds! He knows craftsmanship when he sees it! Keep up the great work! Both machining and the videos....

[@the_millwright]

We do cylinder rebuilds at work but get any machining done offsite. Great to see how it’s all done. Look forward to more videos!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate awesome stuff thanks for watching 😎👍

[@rogerdavies6226]

Me hat's off to your camera lady, she always gets the best and most interesting shots

[@6AL-4V]

Hey Mr. CEE, I’ve been a machinist for 35 years. I like your style. Your technique is fundamentally sound. Just subscribed after watching you finish this part. One thing though, give Kennametal a try in the future. They have some seriously good stuff. You’ll be breaking the chips much better. Keep up the great work!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks very much for watching and subscribing. Great feedback too really appreciate the support from someone in the industry. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍

[@jwaterous224]

"A Smoko Lunch Truck" sounds real sweet. Fine finish on this part after the two kinds of blasting.

[@garyjarvis2730]

Amazing to watch the amount of metal coming off of the blank. That lathe was taking out metal like an ice cream scoop from a container full of vanilla. Fantastic work!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks for watching 😎👍

[@geofflewis4815]

Kurtis that swaf is high quality steel is there a value in it as scrap metal, ??? Good luck to you if its fetching you some money 👍👍👍 Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You are an effing legend! Your gals videoing and editing are top of the crop too! (Love the outtakes)

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, awesome job, turned out absolutely beautiful, there was some big chips flying off there, really enjoyed this build, thanks mate, cheers Matty

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey Matty thanks for watching mate appreciate it

[@jwooten1951]

I knew there were super well-trained machinists in the world but I had never seen one before thanks for showing me that you can do factory production Quality in a small shop .

[@stevebonds5157]

Sounds like a space war going on with that sound of the shavings breaking off.

[@454Casull]

Great use of the annular cutter for the flange holes!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Cheers mate thanks for watching 😎👍

[@DavidLindes]

8:47 more gorgeous chips! I look forward to future slowmo of those. (Thanks for responding to the comment I made on part 1.) Keep it up!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Thanks again David!

[@10Mbowman]

Kurtis, great video again mate!!, I enjoyed the interuppted cuts, swarf colors, slow mo and of course Safety Officer. great machining!!!!!!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey Marc thanks heaps mate glad we're making some videos that are hitting the spot haha cheers, Kurtis 😎👊💥

[@timlewis5096]

I'm a retired plant and timber man but I am fascinated by watching metal be crafted in objects of useful beauty. The skill involved, to me is mind blowing Great videos to watch in the in the sleepless parts of the night. keep up the good work

Great video! This was a really cool two part video series. I like the end of the video were you give us a little reminder of what you started with. Also cool dog.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey thanks very much for watching!

[@jackheritage2222]

Amazing Work!

[@The80shilling]

Art comes in many forms; the old masters paintings, Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, Rodin's sculptures, Ayrton Senna driving an F1 car, or Jonah Lomu running down the wing, ploughing defenders over. But THIS... man, if someone showed me a picture of the finished product and told me it was the platter of a $100,00 audiophile turntable, or the clutch for an F1 car, or a part of a space shuttle, I wouldn't be able to argue the point. That, my friends is sheer bloody art.!

[@HarzerLausbub-orginal]

Ich habe vor 45 Jahren meine Berufsausbildung begonnen: Werkzeugmacher. Ich freue mich gerade, einen Profi bei der Arbeit zu sehen. Ich melde mich mit Kritiken etc. wieder, wenn ich vom ältesten zum jüngsten Viedeo alle gesehen habe! I started my vocational training 45 years ago: toolmaker. I'm just happy to see a pro at work. I'll get back to you with reviews etc. when I've seen everything from the oldest to the youngest video!

[@artmckay6704]

There's nothing else quite like the eye candy of fresh cut steel. It's akin to freshly baked bread. It's just very satisfying to gaze upon! You've got a great job! .... and a very loyal Safety Officer and camera Lady! :)
