Repair DAMAGED Mining Truck Cylinder Barrel | Part 2 | Machining & Honing

Now the welding has cooled let’s get this job finished! This video is part 2 of a job to repair a damaged hydraulic cylinder barrel from a mining truck. This is the hoist cylinder barrel off a Caterpillar 785 Haul Truck, the cylinder helps to lift and lower the body when dumping out the payload. In this Part 2 we show step by step to complete the replacement of this cylinder barrel. We counter bore the weld on the ID of the barrel before machining the entire OD of the barrel down to size. We also use our 1960s Delapena vertical honing machine to hone the ID of the barrel before fitting and welding the barrel end on to complete the job.

When you weld these things wouldnt it be better to machine the groove in which you are welding to a V shape than U shape? V would give less welding and more surface between 2 parts that are held by a weld.

You taught me to hold all questions to the end. When I watched the first video and saw you welding up the bore, I thought to myself "How does he think he's going to get that smooth enough to prevent seal damage and maintain consistent diameter throughout the barrel?". I thought most cylinder barrels were chrome lined, but I've been watching long enough to know better than to doubt you so I didn't ask. Now I know. I'd also like to tell you how thankful I am for your videos. When I have time to kill I can watch your educational videos instead of having to watch news videos about politics. I've seen several KZbinr's that make some KZbin money and their channels become about new tools that don't seem to get used. Their business goes from getting paid to produce and repair to setup tools and advertise. I don't blame them for doing it. They go from low profit hard work to high profit light work. I would rather watch the work you do because it's much more relatable to what I do. Thanks for y'all's hard work.

I agree. Its a reminder that some folks have to know what they are doing in order to get to completion. Politics (sry) these days are filled with folks that dont know what they are talking about and still keep their "high paying" supposed to be civil servant jobs. If the same requirements to know what they are doing was there also, many would rightfully be out of work, and things could go back to "could be better", but at least its not crazy. I see it the same way as you. Really, really good to see competence in action.

Former aircraft jet engine OH tech here - im just floored at how you use relative measurements with regards to concentricity and flatness/roundness assumptions - I can see the whole unit wobbling about in the lathe but I guess all that matters is the relative ID consistency and concentricity? (ie who cares about the outside being wobbly)

When most of see a piece of machinery we never really consider that it is built by people. Nor are we aware that from time to time this machinery needs to repaired. These things just happen.

Thank you for the insight.

[@thepagan5432]

Kurtis when you said you had to hone 1mm (0.040") I nearly choked on my cup of coffee. I realised then you are governed by the I/D of the pipe as supplied. We used to leave around 0.06mm (0.0025") on the bore for honing. I used to get hypnotised by the honers, just the accuracy and surface finish fascinated me. Really good job though, I think yours is the biggest stroke Delapena vertical honer, I've ever seen. I watched an engineering post from Asia and they had a roller steady on their lathe, while they machined a long tube. The problem was there were no rollers in the 3 arms, basically they were running against the support arms, I was dumbfounded lol. You three take care and we'll see you next week. Thanks for posting.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

How do the honing stones maintain an even cut?

[@thepagan5432]

@@JohnnyMotel99 The honing head, with the four stones, is floating in the bore and the operator sets the expanding feed rate of the head. Some honers I've operated had 2 stones in the head. They all work on an incremental feed rate whether that is automatic or manual. CEE's is not a standard honer as Kurtis has extended the length of stroke on it. Delapena are by far the best known honing machine manufacturers and Sunnen and PSS Abrasives stones and heads are probably the best known stone manufacturers.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

@@thepagan5432 Thanks for the info, if the internal bore was not already perfectly round, would the grinding stones make it round?

[@thepagan5432]

@@JohnnyMotel99 Yes the honing will make the hole rounder. CEE's honer for example keeps an even pressure on the bore while the head rotates and goes up and down too.

Thanks. Yeah, that 1mm took a lot of stone sets & I would've liked to know exactly how many of each & how much time to kill a set & how much time in total. Also, Kurtis did make a huge boring bar some-time back and setup would've been pretty quick, so I don't know why.

[@bradmoyer9737]

I’ve heard you mention on several occasions that you can reduce a clients down time by 80 or 90% due to the extended lead times on new and usually come in somewhere around 50% of the cost of new, both of which are huge for your clients. One point you don’t brag on, but nothing leaves your shop without being 100% correct and that isn’t always the case with new. I like people who don’t feel the need to brag on themselves, instead they prefer to let their work represent itself. Another well done repair and vid by the “A Team” - loved the bloopers🙌🏻

Isn't it strange how certain smells can last a lifetime? The very distinct, but not unpleasant, odour of honing oil is something I last encountered around 1980 yet as soon as I watched Kurtis at work with this cylinder the memory jumped right back. I worked for a time as an aircraft engine overhaul inspector. We could always smell the approaching cart of honed cylinders coming to the build station when it was time to install them.

Funny to see you wearing Isaac’s welding cap. He even shouts you out in today’s video (same day) Love the KZbinr camaraderie.

From the retired President of Lufkin Cutting Edge Design - Great job done and education video.

[@jfleser88]

I just love your videos. You're a talented machinist Kurtis, and Karen has just as much talent with her video and editing skills. Such a talented couple. Subscriber for life.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Wow, thank you!

[@Fearmocker]

So impressed by how pro you are in what you do man. It really is a good feeling to watch someone like you work.

[@PariahGrimm]

I am amazed by all the tools and equipment. I had nothing like that in my high school metals class. Did everything from mechanical engineering to fabrication and a little casting aluminum and brass. Loved it. Don't know why I never pursued a job like that. Thanks for sharing with us yanks.

That Delapena vertical honing machine is very satisfying to watch!😀😀👍🏻

[@AP9311]

Love it how it turned out!! 1:29 reminds me of a movie in called "The Core" "spinning lasers" before firing into the base of the core!!! lol. Sorry, just made me think of the image! Love how Karen did the editing and your lathing job! Excellent job, Kurtis!!

I love watching you do what you do. I worked a CNC and manual shop. I was one of 2 that could operate the 5 axis machines. our tolerances were a little closer. I worked on F-35 fighter engine for the military. loved the work. Not bragging but I was pretty good with the manual machines to. miss it a lot.

Hi love the content. I am a skill instructor, i often use your content in my classroom for my students to see practical examples of how things are done in the Industrial repair.

[@Gyppor]

No problem with 2 parts for the big projects. It's crazy how you can re-build these parts almost from scratch, and for less than the cost of a new part. Good work!

[@petermackay8981]

Hey guys, thanks for showing the oil cleaning and filtering parts. I was curious about that

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

No problem 👍

[@mtnxlx]

It's really cool for us to see what you do Cutis.There is a lot of work in re-engineering parts.Great stuff mate.

[@tkalmi09]

I couldn’t wait for the bloopers at the end for the “get the tip in“ part 😂

[@mactech1]

You look too young to be so skilled. You depth of knowledge of your trade is remarkable. I love your outtakes. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@mikebell9166]

The outtakes are worth the time to include 'em. Thanks for doing these vids the way you do; they're fun and informative. Hones are as much art as science. There's a feel you need to develop, 'cause it's sooo easy to cut too hard, or not enough. Centrifuges do a marvelous job of getting junk out of the oil, and it was interesting to see how much came out of the barrel, getting it right.

[@putrakei5821]

finally i can see you again i really like your video your work is amazing success always for you

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rtkville]

I finally get to watch this video after 3 or 4 attempts over 4 days! But it was well worth the wait, good show and good work THANK YOU!!!
