Kearny & Trecker Parking Attachment Part 7

[@andrewterry8092]

Adam, something about you is very watchable. I've watched quite a few other machine shop videos and I always like yours the best. Thanks again.

[@Gary3247]

Superb video. I cherish those moments when things don't go as planned. Mistakes are going to happen & how you deal with them is really important to me. I also appreciate all of the constructive comments from all of your viewers. Keep up the great work. I am a BIG fan!

[@craigleemehan]

Adam I love how calm you are, no mater what happens. Great work, great video.

[@mats852]

Thanks again Adam, and I must add that I listen to your videos because it's your own way to do things and it's great.

[@pawelk8179]

Adam love your videos greets from Poland, new vlog are great. You Tom Lipton and rest of KZbin machinist community keep make my day on positive side.

[@dangerdave616]

Cool video man, I love seeing how many applications the K&T is capable of, I'm sure there are many more.

[@angusbowden-smith3802]

I love this channel it always gives me something to look forward!

[@jamesfeisley2810]

Another enjoyable, knowledge packed video series so far.

[@clearpepsi7347]

Those green C-clamps are getting a work out on this project!

[@douglasthompson2740]

Another good video and relaxing Saturday night. Keep them coming. Doug

[@randallparker8477]

I miss being able to fix and fabricate things, I so enjoy your videos and projects and yes even your cooking. Keep up the good work, keep it fun, and I know you will always love what you do. Be good to yourself and I hope you keep an eye on your health. Or you may end up like some of us old farts, and won't be able to do it, way too soon. Thanks as always Adam.

[@tonyennis3008]

I appreciate that you show us your errors and how you handle it.

[@Abom79]

We're all human and make a mistake sometimes.

[@THEIRONWORKER]

I like ti see when you make the parts and then weld them together and then finish the machine work.Its just like being there and helping Good Work

[@timtrott4145]

Very nice, been a while since I had to indicate and bore anything like that, kind of miss it.Brings back a lot of good memories.

[@Gkuljian]

I always appreciate seeing the things that don't go as planned. That might be where I'm learning the most. I'm not sure how I feel when I go to check a part, thinking I've got a ways to go, and it's at the right dimension. Oh shit. I'm done. Thanks.

[@dunkelheit843]

Five thousunds over? I'd say scrap it and start over ;) I really like your videos and I always look forward to saturday nights to watch them, so thanks alot for making them!

[@Abom79]

+dunkelheit843 I agree! New part!!

[@swarfrat311]

Adam, Another great job! Thanks for sharing your work. Welders sure have changed. The one you have and the TIG welder that Tom (Mr Wizard) has look like small refrigerators. My uncle has an old Forney buzz box that looks like a small filing cabinet! How times have changed! Thanks again! Think of me as you eat that succulent, tasty chicken! Have a good one! Dave

[@MattsMotorz]

Adam is mortal! He didn't hit the numbers perfectly! lol Great video, love seeing when things don't go as planned, it makes it more real.

[@Abom79]

+MattsMotorz Happens to all of us

[@blacksiddha]

Great to see the attachment coming along. Always look forward to the next one. Thanks Adam

[@a89proof]

Thumbs up on the grinder cutting wheel tip. So many people believe that pushing harder and dropping the spindle speed is going to remove material faster.

[@The39racing]

Nice job Adam, really enjoy all your videos!

[@andrewterry8092]

Waiting all week for this one! Thanks, Adam.

[@melwhitney5823]

Another great video series, keep them coming I really enjoy all of your video's.

[@mcngunsmithing4168]

Thanks for the time you take to make the all videos.

[@davidmotoman4956]

Good Job as usual Adom. Just a Weeee Bit over :) Lovin this series, Carnt wait for the other Part to be Shown on The CNC also. Cheers from Australia.

[@Barefoot3us]

Adam, I agree with you the tension pins (roll pins I always called them) with do a good job of holding the two pieces in alignment. Your welds will provide all the strength that the Parking Attachment will ever need. Being an old welder I too as you know you are partnering two pieces of steel together and making them essentially into one parent metal once they are welded. The only thing I would suggest is maybe using 10018 instead of 7018 rods. I mention this just for a little added tensile strength that the 10018 would have over the 7018. Mind you there is nothing at all wrong as you know by using 7018 just me adding my 2¢ Great looking beads on the round to the big block. I'm enjoying this Parking Attachment video series immensely. Thank you, Jeff

[@dougbush4170]

At around the two minute mark, right after you said you were heading down to the welding machine, I think I saw a tear or two fall from your Abom 79 custom made gorgeous welding table.

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the follow up, love the series so far. You know you've got that great welding table you built, you should've dragged that baby outside and done all you welding out there, killing two birds as it were. No fumes and getting a lot of fresh air to boot in the sunshine.

[@carlo.r4468]

very nice series of videos Adam! i learn a lot watching you work, i like your channel because i feel your passion for the metalworking greetings from genova, Italy!

[@doughchm]

great to see new camera handling welding so much better!!

[@chucktipton9596]

I like seeing the K&T run. Thanks Adam

[@turbocobra]

Enjoying this series Adam, keep the videos coming!

[@StuHarris60]

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who over shoots when boring out. Perhaps I should invest in some more reamers. Keep up the good work Adam I manage to learn some thing new with almost every video, though that is not so hard for a rank ameture like me.

[@johnbazaar8440]

Hey, no fair putting food in front of my face while I'm watching a good machining video. I had just come back from the gym. Now you ruined it. :-) Thanks a lot, Adam. John Like I needed an excuse to eat. :-)

[@66sbarker]

the tension pins seems like a better idea to me, But I could be wrong, if you have solid pins and are tight where you have to drive them like a press fit the air in the void would have to compress, therefore they would bottom out leaving a small space of compressed air and when you weld the pieces together heat would cause expansion of the air pushing on the material supported by the pins forcing it to expand outward. just my thought. I'm not a metal worker but just seems like that could happen.

[@elmarqo_3448]

I would like to watch you set up the boring bar in the head some time. Really enjoy your videos.

[@zach7375]

Another good video Adam. I'm not much of a welder but I've been a machinist for about 9 years and I never knew there was such a thing as a water cooled tig welder! Haha.

[@Abom79]

+Zach Many of the big machines are capable of using water for coolant.

[@zach7375]

+Abom79 learn something new everyday! Thanks Adam.

[@dontlitethat]

That miller MIG welder behind you is screaming " hey- I'm the machine for the job"

[@gregm1457]

Ugh, last cut just a touch under, small adjust for the final pass and suddenly I'm +.005 over ... man if I only had a dollar. Real nice work though, thanks- this is a great series.

[@cobburn]

Awesome looking welds Adam!

[@mikenixon9164]

Nice job Adam keep them coming.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Hey no harm done Adam , Good video man , thumbs up !

[@brianstarr1178]

Adom I just found your channel and I have been bing watching every one of your videos I can find By the way I'm Brian Starr From Lancaster Pennsylvania

[@WAVETUBE84]

Really cool stuff Adam. I make a lot of suggestions, like a bunch of other guys, but they but the projects are yours to do however you decide.

[@macro820]

Thanks for the video Adam. As always very interesting topics and great work.

[@Abom79]

+Preproto Divorced last year, we made an announcement then also.

[@macro820]

So sorry buddy didn't mean to touch on a sore subject... Was just trying to be nice.

[@shoots2001]

Hi Adam great vid as usual. Maybe run 1st pass then take a spring pass without moving the boring bar. Then measure and adjust to hit size. Even though you aren't removing much material with that length of bar you will still get deflection.

[@joetiller1031]

Another great job, looks like that boring head let you down but like you said make a pin to fit.

[@skamego]

Love these videos. Keep up the projects!

[@tjnak]

Alignment pins are a grand idea.

[@wendell454]

Coming from a welder/cwi since 1987 can I give you some advice, when welding 4140 always preheat to 400 - 500 degrees than a good rule of thumb anything 1" and above preheat to 250 degrees just to get the moisture out and don't weave your bead over 1 1/2 x the rod dia

[@JackHoying]

Having seen the head in person that this parking attachment is being used for, I know it's a beast. However, this attachment could be used to lift Adam's new surface grinder onto the table! Nice build! P.S. I know many people might frown on this, but using a little Bondo in the weld valleys before painting will do wonders to smooth everything out. It'll improve the overall look a lot. Painting is all about the prep work, and the paint is what shows in the end.

[@Abom79]

+Jack Hoying You got that right Jack, even machine builders use that trick.

[@roberthughes6240]

yes, you were correct, it is a fillet weld, if your putting material in to fill a gap or a weld prep it is a fillet. Great to see you 'walking the cup' with the tig there, great finish but you need to pause at the start and end of the run to build up a little more material to avoid 'the dip'. with your stick welding, if you have to span a gap like that again try doing a figure '8' motion, you'll get a better finish. great work though big man. loving the videos

[@highpwr]

+robert hughes "The dip" as you say or "end crater" is a stress riser and a common cause of weld failures. It is often due to a crack that starts at an end crater. Unfortunately it appears one of those TIG weld beads has already started to crack at the crater on the left. See the still photo at 38:06 Yep, need more filler at the end of the runs.

[@Justin-bb2hj]

I would love to see a video on that welder!! I see them for sale all the time for a good price and would be interested in seeing it and learning about it

[@customh]

Enjoying seeing the progress and collaboration between you and SMW. I'll look back through the videos but I'm curious how this part is used. Tried to look up some K&T pics but didn't find much that made sense.

[@davidheap5338]

Maybe if you hadn't dialled in the extra 5 thow when you thought you had a bit of play in the dial you would have hit the mark lol, Anyway I think the way we learn is by our mistakes, if everything went as planned life would be too easy. The skill is knowing what to do when things don't go to plan and how to make the job work. Great stuff as always Adam, I have also been watching the CNC stuff for the parking attachment component, its very interesting but too much computer work for me, I'm old school and like to be hands on a job, but I can see the benefits of these machines in mass producing small intricate parts. Dave

[@QtmMtrlzr]

Enjoying this series

[@terrellfarms1]

When I seen those first drops of water hit the table. I was like damn I thought I sweated bad when welding. Then the caption popped up. Is that water for cooling the torch head? Our TIG torch does not have that.

[@darrenblattner2508]

+Terry Presnal (TerrellFarms1) water cooled torch, I burn up at least one a year, without the water cooler you won't weld thicker aluminum or steel for very long without melting your torch head.

[@Abom79]

+Terry Presnal (TerrellFarms1) Yes it's a water cooled TIG torch.

[@keldsor]

Hi Adam ! Oh, I like these heavy duty weldings ... snd the way they turned out ... why dress them ? ... nothing like a good looking welding ! The center part ... it's masive - how about some indented areas offset 1/2" from the edge and 1/2" deep - just to give it a more lighter look ... and in fact make it a little lighter - it wont weaken the part - right ?

[@martinstipp6754]

Adam you could make the custom abom size thanks for showing the boring bar Work the whole project is custom 1 off from your shop I agree make itthe way you feel comfortable with. I apprieciate you showing the work with the K and T.

[@duobob]

During this series I keep saying out loud to the screen "It's not a jig grinder, it's just a parking attachment!"

[@bjre.wa.8681]

+Bob Korves Yes, his tolerances for a parking attachment are pretty tight. I say this with kindness as most of us understand.

[@shiro-r4m]

I pooped myself a little when you said the table was nice and clean lol

[@dontlitethat]

Oh' and just a reminder to damn up the ends beforehand to prevent holes and ponds at the start/finish of the welds

[@davekenney9761]

Instead of grinding down the weld couldn't you lay it flat and mill the weld flush? Maybe ball end mill to to transition into the turned part better? Thanks for your videos- i enjoy watching them.

[@PictureDisks]

At 18:44 you could have got hurt! Your shirt was dangerously close to getting sucked in to the grinder. One time a rag I was carrying got sucked in to the grinder and in a split second pulled it out of my hands and the rag exploded in to small particles. If it was my shirt it would have ripped it off and I would have been really hurt. It was a large and powerful grinder just like yours. The inertia of those wheels and large motor are impossible to stop. The grinder didn't even drop in RPM after pulling in and spitting rag particles out in 1 second. I can't even make it sound as scary typing it here as it really was in real life.

[@raymondcote6669]

You are doing just fine Adam

[@davidwaker7996]

Great video love what you do. I have a question I hope hasn't asked before. What is the reason for bending the welding rods when you put them in the stinger. I was going to ask in another video I saw you do it in.

[@mchiodox69]

Awesome video series ... love it

[@radbot1]

DAYUM that bbq looked good!

[@aserta]

Adam, you should totally get a sleeve for your welder. It's a pity to have them crud up and break when a denim sleeve is so cheap. Other than that, i strongly believe that weld enough is more than sufficient to hold the attachment parked. Worst case scenario, if you think the math won't add up, you can just thread those holes and put threaded rod, that would more than cut it.

[@matteomorigi7650]

yes Adam i did enjoing it very much ! thanks

[@tedsykora1858]

I am guessing welding such nice clean parts in exactly your most comfortable position makes those welds kind of fun to do.

[@Abom79]

+ted sykora Makes it more enjoyable thats for sure.

[@bjre.wa.8681]

I'm another faithful Abom79 follower, keep up the good work. I see a lot of similarities between us. I guess it's kinda like we get a little over focused on our enjoyment (work) We create things. I've watched the Vids on the Fusion 360 with interest as I've spent the last 20 years working with Autocad/Autodesk nearly all of it 2-D three views Fabrication and assemblies drawings. I have to make shop drawings for a x-y shop. No automation here. Our shops machine some huge weldments (a new piece of machinery would still be 30 years old). I know where you come from, I get it. bjr

[@lazaglider]

That grinder is such a beast. I bet she runs a good five minutes after you switch her off.

[@Blazer02LS]

Maybe I'm just missing it but doesn't most of the area where those pins are get cut away? That is the end that the pivot goes between the two ears on the original? If that is correct I'd probably pin the thinner block on, Then V out the seam, TIG it in and dress the inner corner so the larger block fits, Then clamp and weld it in place. Or I could be out to lunch ....

[@machinesmotorcycles5511]

good job Adam .

[@Doc_Fartens]

At 6:25, what's that dripping from what appears to be the glove? EDIT: Nevermind. only needed to wait a few more seconds.

[@tomthumb3085]

If I were doing it, I believe that I would have machined pockets for bearings on each end. Easily replaced and guaranteed accuracy..

[@Max_Marz]

A slow rapid valve would be pretty sweet on that KT

[@arkansas1313]

Love this video series, great job! ....13

[@Ahmed.45]

Hi Adam, I think I heard that you needed to take another .010" out of the bore (1.241 +.010). I couldn't see it very well but you dialed .010+ on the boring head. Is that boring head in radial or diameter increments? Including the slop could that be where the oversize came from? Also I agree with Fred- those heads are difficult to get right. I'm going to indicate it like MrShobar suggests for precise work. Thanks for the great videos!!!

[@BlackRavenCNC]

Very nice welding man ;)

[@soufianeimidrakh1365]

Hello . Thank you for the videos, which benefit from them , and in which we can develop ourselves Thanks Adam, I am new to you from Morocco observers hello if you want to visit.☺☺☺

[@ramosel]

Adam, since this "tube" end of the arm is just a pivot with limited angular motion, could you have reamed it from both ends?

[@ramosel]

+Chris Stephens thanks Chris. I hope you and Adam don't think I'm being critical of your methods and techniques, just trying to learn and understand. Sometimes my engineering concepts don't precisely mesh with machinist's experience.

[@joshua43214]

For this purpose, truing then running a D-bit made from pre-hard would have been fine. Reamers that size are expensive, but then again pre-hard is not exactly cheap, and he has a drawer full of boring bars. The best solution is the one that does the job to specs with the least hassle and the lowest time/cost. Do not under estimate how round and true that hole needs to be. it will have over 100lbs of weight hanging off of it. You would be surprised how much drag a slightly out of round or slightly over-sized hole makes in that situation.

[@lazymouse636]

Wondering if you protect the gopro when welding?

[@gregbrodie-tyrrell3473]

Adam, did you call that groove "a fillet" because you were going to fillet with weld? :)

[@markmossinghoff8185]

+Greg Brodie-Tyrrell Bada Bing!

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

great welding job,looks very good overall and will be really nice to have around the shop,you going to paint or powder coat?

[@Abom79]

+Travis Shrewsbury Havn't decided yet, but probably paint it myself and put one of my Abom cutouts on it like the welding table.

[@Max_Marz]

holy crap adam, I know you have an adjustable reamer in that shop somewhere.

[@tombellus8986]

Adam, I think you know a guy in Cal. who could blend in those welds pretty good.

[@danielgraves975]

Is there a reason you indicated the ID instead of OD with the co axial?

[@danielgraves975]

+MrShobar I flipped it around on accident

[@hibiki54]

+Daniel Graves In that position, it is easier to check the OD. There are also cases in thick metal in which the OD may remain true, but the ID can warp due to heat growth or shrinkage.

[@garyc5483]

Nice job. Coming along just fine Adam. Does the boring head take out the actual movement on the dial ? ie move it .001 does it take out .001 or .002 from the bore. ? Looking forward to the next instalment. regards from the UK

[@philipm7054]

Nice job Adam. are you going to machine pockets / recesses in the sides of the arm to lighten it? or just leave it thick and beefy looking?

[@Abom79]

Prob leave it overbuilt!

[@molly8904molly0]

Check the original K&T Bore with the larger telescope gauge. That pin sure fit good even for 5 thousands over.

[@Abom79]

+Bryan Striff Oh yea it was a nice slip fit, but we'll improve on that.

[@molly8904molly0]

Great job either way buddy! I always look forward to Saturdays for SNS and job projects. The K&T build is looking mighty fine. Also keep the Shop talk series going when you can!

[@PeterWMeek]

Some boring heads are graduated to indicate radius and some indicate diameter. Was that what happened when boring? Or was it lost motion in the lead screw? Whatever. "Bore first and make the pin to fit" is always a good strategy. It's much easier to make and measure external cuts.

[@Abom79]

+Peter W. Meek Peter it was from the movement of the scree when I loosened the clamp. That head removes what you read on the dial.

[@PeterWMeek]

Lost motion, then. I think my Criterions are calibrated to diameter as well. Dunno about my "off-shore" boring head; I've never tested it. Given a choice, I would prefer a dial to measure the actual movement of the tool and let me determine the effect of that movement. Same for lathes. (I don't like lathes graduated to indicate diameter reduction rather than radius reduction.) Personal preference, and what I learned on.

[@DoRC]

Is the scale on the offset thingy showing full cut thousandths or thousandths it actually moves the cutter? I noticed you moved it be 10 thou before the last cut which ended up 5 over. (sorry for my term ignorance)

[@DoRC]

I hope you understand what I'm saying. I barely do.

[@bcbloc02]

+Kenny Downs Most boring heads are direct reading so .010 on the dial would be .020 on the bore. Which if that is the caswe I am surprised he only overshot by .005.

[@DoRC]

+bcbloc02 cool thanks for the info:)

[@C2welder]

Why didnt you pre heat the parts the weld would have flowed and been flatter?

[@singlemale6464]

What's the most complicated part you ever machined?

[@kevinrourke8730]

Adam, just a heads up next time you set the camera over the bench grinder, your t shirt nearly caught when you reached up. I'm not qualified to preach and know you are always safe, just think its best for people to say it when they see it. Keep up the good work, i love this channel - Kev

[@markfryer9880]

Adam, just a question with regard to the welding of the part. I would have thought that something that solid would have required at least some preheat prior to welding in order that the welds get full penetration. The tig welds were basically going in on cold steel and it wasn't until you had done several stick weld passes that you got the peeling slag which to my mind indicates a part that is well heated. Was a preheat necessary or only if the part is likely to be placed under severe or unusual stress during its service life? Now obviously you have welded far more heavy parts than I have, but I would be interested in your comments on the matter.

[@davidhearne497]

I apologoise for my recent remarks regarding the pins , I thought it was a removable part and therefore thought that spring pins would make it awkward. regards Dave.

[@PhilsProjects]

great series Adam, Did you receive the seals for the oil cans? just making sure they got there cheers Man and keep em coming !

[@Abom79]

+Phil's Projects Phil yes I did, sorry they are in my stack of mail and forgot to share them.

[@PhilsProjects]
