Making Parts for CAT 631 Scraper | Milling Machine

In this video we are making mounting plates to go on a Caterpillar 631 Scraper Tractor. The mounting plates are to support the guide rollers of the back ejector door on the machine. We were lucky enough to be able to go to the customers yard and get inside a 631 scraper to show and explain where on the machine the parts go. For making these mounting plates we are using bis alloy 80 grade high tensile plate. We show the step by step process on the milling machine including face cutting, boring and drilling. We also use a rotary table and set the milling head to 45°degrees to cut some bevels before setting up the 90° degree head and horizontal attachment to cut slots in the plates. The parts are finished off with grinding and chamfering
In this video we are using:

I spent the majority of my career around large excavators and other equipment. I've been around mechanics and engineers from the majority of the large guys in NA.

That last bit about you supplying the plug with the locator hole so that the customer can properly remove the old part - that's a huge thing for me. That's such attention to detail - and we don't see that in many places. I'm not a machinist, but I love watching how you approach your work and what you do. Thank you for brightening the day.

Hi...I am 10-months out from a spine fusion. Doc said I'd have another 20-years to work. Maybe something to consider also to get away from pain meds.

[@markfryer9880]

A back injury is never fun. It is scary just how straining a muscle or two can "knock the wind right out of your sails", leaving you gasping for air and going cross eyed from the pain. I really hate to think what a permanent career ending back injury would be like, so know that you have my full sympathy and thoughts for at least some sort of recovery. Do they give you the opportunity for hydro therapy in a pool of water so that you can relax and take some time out in a neutral buoyancy environment? Glad that you found CEE to keep your work mind occupied. Thoughts and prayers, Christmas Wishes, Mark from Melbourne Australia

What would be interesting to see is how you maintain your drill bits and the cutting tools.

[@jamescollier3]

Didn't he say he sends drill bits out for sharpening?

[@SeanBZA]

A good credit line at the tool supplier more than anything else. Drill bits are pretty much a consumable in any shop, at least when you are finished with them and they are stubs that are no longer capable of reaching to the depth needed.

[@dev-debug]

@@jamescollier3 Yeah he's sent some big bits out. Probably has some end mills sharpened as well as they can be pricey.

[@tomclark6271]

Noticed that the drill bit was cutting only on one side. Easy to center the web, especially if you have a dedicated drill bit grinder. It was the first skill taught in school.

An air line with a "y" splitter and about 3 or 4 feet of hose on each side of the "y" is very handy when using multiple air tools. Saves all the connecting and disconnecting.

One cool thing about your way of working is you don't waste your time being precise where precision isn't required, you are allways fast, efficient and straight forward with your aproach.

“Extremely sharp and terrifying tinsel!” - classic. Really enjoyed the on-site intro as well. It’s fun to get the scale of some of these machines. Shame you couldn’t tolerate a little bevel on the closing end corners and do the boring and beveling on a lathe. I have to say I was amazed how well that wonky 45 degree setup worked. :) Any particular reason you couldn’t just run an 8mm end-mill to make the slots? Slower I’d imagine, but with the changeover to horizontal and back, for four parts, one wonders.

Question please: How come the large diameter drill didn't try and walk as it exposed half its' diameter when drilling air in the clamp hole, especially as it was sharper on the one flute?

This is why you need to get your CNC up and running. At least 3/4 of the work you needed to do on these can be automated, allowing you to do other things. And if these are a common item for you, it just amplifies the reason you need it. Don't worry that you can't tilt the head on the CNC; a bull nose cutter head using round inserts will cut the weld prep bevels, as well as rough out the bores for the pins as well. These can be done completely in the CNC with the correct tooling, and with almost the same fixturing you just used.

Yeah just great! CNC does everything...........but who programs the CNC? Personally I'd rather spend time actually machining that sitting in a stuffy office fart arsing around with a bloody computer!

It can be done, but all the setup for handful of those parts a year. CNC repeatability is more of an serial production thing. He could make them in advance once set up, but who wants to carry stock nowdays?

@@goodiezgrigis Actually Kurtis mentioned that he had the basic blanks in stock in his container, so he must make a few per year.

@@goodiezgrigis I work for a small shop where we program stuff like this all the time, ON THE FLOOR, at the control. And as for machining stock ahead, why??? As long as he has the setup details and the program, he can just order the material as needed and machine the parts when called for.

Hi guys, once again a great video. You seem to use a lot of BIZ80. Before seeing your channel I had never heard of it. Is this material an industry standard?

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate yeah it's just a brand of high tensile QT grade plate, same as Strenex or hardox

Your dog is like mine, He loves to get gifts in a bag. Thank You for the videos on your work, You have given me a lot of tips too on how to do something.

Man that is savage bevel machining on tough material, nailed it again mate great camera work again too thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome intro! The footage of Homeless gutting that pig at the end was epic.
