Making Bearing Mounts for the Line Borer | Shop Made Tools

In this video we are making new custom bearing mounts for our Line Borer! These bearing mounts are designed for our our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable line boring machine. We already have standard mounts that came with the machine but need to make new ones that will be more rigid and are adjustable so we can use the Sir Meccanica facing head. To make these mounts we are using 20mm plate, hollow tube, 40mm round bar and some other bits & pieces. We show the step by step process including cutting & machining the hollow tube that will be the mount for the machine. We then machine and weld the plates onto the tube and mill out the slots in the plate to suit a 14mm bolt. We also machine up 12 stand offs including drilling and tapping so they can be bolted onto the plates.
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-1740G Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

The quality and finish of your tooling and repair work is outstanding, Kurtis! I may not be a machinist or engineer, but when a tool is built with quality of form and function, anyone can see it. When a repair is done with "good as factory" as the standard, it's instantly recognizable. Fabulous work ethic! Will be nice to see this tool when it's done and in action. Oh, and Karen ... the video is extremely well put together! All the best to you all from Newfoundland, Canada. Love your content!

I really enjoyed watching that, I'm glad you showed every piece being done. Most people cut that out but it's always great to see esp. when you showed different angles. It's always great when the end user improves something and that was a great improvement.

Seeing you stick the nozzle for the flood coolant wand into the back of the boring bar reminded me of a setup a good friend of mine uses. He has treaded the back end of all his boring bars that he uses internal flood cooling and installed a male quick disconnect fitting. On his flood cooling pipe stand he installed a T fitting and a female quick disconnect fitting and a cutoff valve to the flood cooling wand. Lastly he has a couple feet of flexible hose with a male and female quick disconnect fitting on it. When he uses his boring bars and wants to use the internal flood cooling he hooks up the flexible hose and shuts the valve to the food cooling wand. One last thing he has done on his largest boring bar is taped the holes at the cutting tool end of the bar and installed large carburetor jets from a Holley carburetor so to spay the coolant in a more controlled pattern.

Really the quality of work and care on your part is great, and if the videos on my part were longer and whoever likes this work is impossible to get bored, congratulations. Daniel Montevideo Uruguay

Great work, as usual, Kurtis. Those bearing mounts came out looking incredible, and I can’t wait to see them in action on the line borer. I have to say that your content is getting better and better with each release. You’re all doing a fantastic job bringing these videos out in no time. On a side note, you’ll have to start adding an NSFW tag to the parts featuring Safety Officer Homey destroying those poor little piggies. Sending you all much love from South Texas. Stay safe down under.🥰🥰

Pretty slick Kurtis--making your own tools--its a skill that does bless the man

Whoa!! These went from looking like boat trailer parts to something that wouldn't look out of place on the SR-71..!!

That was amazing. People running multi-million dollar companies oftentimes have trouble changing light bulbs. Whatever you're getting paid, it isn't enough. You have to think of SO MANY different variables all at the same time to accomplish just one portion of that job. The entire job with all of the different machines & tools...WOW!!! Also, the video editing was spectacular...thanks for shortening each iteration of each part.

Great project, you've made a good tool better. Great camera work as usual. You got your money's worth out of that insert doing those interrupted cuts.
