How to install a monster Mazak HCN-10800!

See how our new monster Mazak is installed.

[@jimsvideos7201]

Thank you for catching all of this! I'd really hate to be the plumber who has to tell you that he needs to get at that pipe that is now three feet deep in what I'm sure is some high-zoot concrete!

[@grumpyoldman5368]

Thanks for showing this. Really interesting seeing what goes into setting the big machines.

[@sandy1653]

Impressive foundation for an impressive machine. Can't wait to see the installation.

[@465maltbie]

Incredible amount of work, once you get the quote on the machine then the quotes for the shipping, rigging, and foundation come in. Oh yea and the cost to dispose of the dirt and other fees. Thanks for sharing, Charles.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Awesome machine Mr. Bailey!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@aaronbaird3533]

Thanks for posting that. Machine foundations are a critical part of precision, but aren't nearly as flashy and glamorous as the machine itself. Looking forward to the installation and setup video.

[@aeroscottmodelenginerepair2830]

Amazing, cant wait to see the forthcoming steps of this installation. Thanks for taking us along.

[@seanparker3662]

Beautiful machine, congratulations!

[@rayp.454]

Hey Don, glad to hear from you again! That Mazak is a beast. Keep the videos coming.

[@Joethetooltech]

Wow, very impressive. I love a good time-lapse & am looking forward to the next video.

[@JFettig111]

Interesting to see the foundation work, Thanks for posting!

[@erikslagter3231]

it's a big monster machine man. Congratulations!

[@mark111943]

I used to work for a company that had similar concrete isolation for a co-ordinate measuring machine. The accuracy of the climate control was also on another planet. Super cool to see. Must be a bit scary as a business owner to commit the investment you are making into such a machine. Keep up the precision tool making! I am only an amateur but I enjoy seeing the effort, time, skill and experience that goes into what you make. Thanks Mark

[@EricTViking]

Wow, now that's impressive! An epic installation.

[@larryblount3358]

Looking forward to seeing your products produced in your new machine. Congratulations on the purchase.

[@jeffreyschmiedeck4254]

Nice machine and job on the install ! I’m sure you will be happy with both.

[@doxielain2231]

That's quite the foundation work, thanks for sharing!

[@spazzywhitebelt]

Thanks for sharing, much more of a process than I would have thought

[@joemattes8389]

Big investment. Nice to see an investment like this being made in stateside manufacturing.

[@aarondcmedia9585]

Incredible. Looking forward to the next one.

[@wvrockcrusher]

Congratulations on the new addition! That is one hell of a machine! One hell of a footing too by the way. This will be interesting!

[@mpetersen6]

I remember when we had a K&T YMC installed in the 80s. The serviceman could not get it leveled. The anchors kept pulling out of the floor. Turned out a genius in purchasing decided to order the wrong (cheaper) grout for the anchors. It's the little things that can bite you. Around the same time we had a jig grinder installed. Every time one of the stamping presses rolled over it would show up in the work. The machine was moved to a more appropriate location

[@cameronmccreary4758]

That is very nice work. When one has a machine as large as the one going in there it has to be isolated from other machines and from road vibration. Shown is one of the methods for isolation and mounting. No doubt I will be riding this channel to learn "new tricks."

[@jasonhill2180]

Very exciting news for you. Hope that machine works out well for you!

[@2000sborton]

I used to work as a surveyor for a structural steel company that specialized in industrial buildings. Did a lot of layout and final placement for some industrial machines up to 25 ton overhead cranes. Even with old school optical tools before digital it is possible to get to high tolerances on those bolts set in concrete with a steel plate levelled on top. Especially when you are laying in the grout afterwards. Not machinists tolerances but with a good N-3 level 64th's and better was reasonable. Even with that mass of concrete the vibration separation with the styrofoam is a necessity. Be thankful that you did not have to invest in some really heavy stuff. Steel mills can only be built where bedrock is close to the surface. The furnaces etc are actually bolted in to the bedrock. Laid out one job where we had 30 footings like this bolted into the bedrock. That was for a basic oxygen furnace on Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada. Looking forward to see the installation of the equipment.

[@stxrynn]

It is amazing what goes into the erection of these things. A buddy's brother does that kind of work. He said they even need the exact coordinates of the installation for their programming. Not a old Monarch by any stretch. Looks really good. I can hardly wait to see the rest of the process!!

[@DIY-V12]

Congratulations on your magnificence.

[@miamatti]

cant wait for the finishing install video!

[@panamericaco]

Absolutely insane, 4 foot foundation! Very cool to see though, thanks for showing us!

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

Wow. Very cool to watch!!

[@brianpoi5117]

Can't wait to see the next episode and to see it in action!

[@BplusJequalsFire]

What a beast of a machine!

[@billlee5307]

Hope the installation went without problems. Thanks for letting us watch!

[@jakecarter4407]

Awesome. Quite the investment. I trust it will be a great machine.

[@freethinkerofny9187]

That is very impressive!

[@eXactModellbau]

Wow! What a hassle! You wouldn't suspect that when you see a machine standing in the hall. I hope it's worth the effort. Warm greetings from Germany

[@outsidescrewball]

Congrats….looking forward to progressing videos

[@number2664]

Need to do a shop tour, that gray planer caught my attention

[@DK-vx1zc]

wow, amazing! looking forward to the next segments.. Also, explanation of how this will be used at Suburban Tool..

[@YCM30cnc]

That’s AWESOME !!!!

[@ElixirCNC]

Amazing!

[@GOAP68]

Thank you for sharing.

[@mudnducs]

Very cool!!!

[@suzylarry1]

with this much excavation and concrete with rebar , you see this machine has very tight tolerance of accurse. Torque spec will be good to see as this goes together

[@duckslayer11000]

Precision non-shrinking grout.

[@adamadkins9210]

The weight of a steam locomotive and tender. That puts the size into comprehension.

[@groundcontrolgainesville4841]

What a process. Can't wait to see it installed. Would love to know the total cost of the machine + install and also would like to know what you're going to make with this machine.

[@tecnobs3d]

Impressive

[@odl21]

Crazy scale.

[@joebuckley8569]

Incredible! Fascinating to see how heavy a foundation they call for & the build.Thanks for sharing! I've got to ask how much did that monster machine cost? A few decades worth of payments I'm sure...

[@mitchstephen5491]

I’m sure this machine has set you back a few bucks. Progress is expensive congratulations on your expansion.

[@ninex21para]

Amazing what they have to do

[@reyspec]

Thats interesting!

[@FreeskierSean]

wow that thing is a monster. which products will be produced on it?

[@Factory400]

That thing is EPIC! It will never fit in my garage though.

[@CurtisLucara]

Has to be Alphabet AI to recommend this video, I was just talking about this, had to have done a dozen of these for Boeing and Boeing subcontractors, not to mention the Drivematic Riveting Machines, but we had to apply floor hardener with metal shavings in it for the concrete surface with Ashford Cure.

[@kevind1865]

That is a MASSIVE horizontal. Very exciting! Did you go that big to nest more parts, or are there some big parts you need to do on it? Did you get the hard metal package to try and eliminate grinding ops on some parts?

[@SuburbanToolInc]

Both! Mostly for larger parts. No hard metal. Not what we do. Thanks for reaching out. Best of health to you!!! Don Bailey.

[@MrMojolinux]

Wow!

[@nunyabussiness4054]

Did you have a 20% off coupon like most of us use at our favorite tool supply?

[@andrewh2341]

What are you going to make with it???

[@alecd47d69]

Damn and I thought our Doosan horizontal was big…..

[@RambozoClown]

That's a big'en.

[@dirtboy896]

It wont fit in my residential two car garage? Damn! 😂😊 I have a phase converter lol

[@MrTooTechnical]

I hope you realize with machines this large u need to set them up completely and then literally let them sit stationary, unused, for at least 30 days. That was the new mazak with adjust to the floor. Then you recalibrate the machine and compensate with offsets. Thanks

[@skfh3]

My man said leveled all the way around within a quarter inch 🤣... Try at least 1000x

[@kuyre2239]

small house

[@drevil4454]

I love progress as long as I don't have to pay for it. This project, machine incuded, is a lot of moving parts. Very expensive... I'll stick to my lathe and bridgeport for a while. Mind you...... I don't really have a choice. My wallet says so. 😆

[@MrTooTechnical]

Great vid. It’s pronounced maaazaaakk. Like mad (minus d) and zack (minus the c). Nice.

[@vettepicking]

Thats alot of iron!

[@dimitar4y]

This process looks awfully crude. Wish there was a more elegant solution that didn't require such a ridiculously big block of concrete or such considerations. Maybe like a platform you can drop anywhere, with hollow beams filled with lead pellets and resin, or something, with modular ballasts to dampen any vibrations. Even better if they were electronically controlled to detect and adjust to take away interference. Computers nowadays have such high clock rates, they can see the vibration and offset it before it travels to the part.

[@mjwint]

You guys have been invisible, then you launch a non-actionable video on something the home/small shop person can't even dream about. Liking like an unsubscribe, bring back Don and change my mind.

[@kindablue1959]

They owe you absolutely nothing, bub. Instead of being happy for their growth, all you care about is you, you, you. I'm sure they won't miss your piddly subscription and are bound to gain much more by making this move.
