No matter how good your machines get or how fancy the electronics, there will always be that one bit where it's easiest to just hit it with an angle grinder.

[@ML-jf1xe]

I’ve read all comments but that nobody has a really good explanation of why this bucket needed to be machined bugs me to no end

[@mumblbeebee6546]

Perhaps they are buying liners made from graphite or fire cement, and they want to have the closest fit to avoid stress in the liner when full of molten metal?

[@ML-jf1xe]

Thanks

I was really scared of this flask to tip over when you were lifting it up

[@PoisonNuke]

that was an totally unneccary risk for shure. The damage would have been extreme and a simple strap could've prevented it.

[@benroberts-sano4386]

[@benroberts-sano4386]

Sorry I could have bragged about my intellect and that I would never lift an item below its center of gravity particularly Only from 2 points. I'm gonna point it out that the operator is clearly skilledBut that many years of Is experience builds confidence and confidence builds complacency. improper strapping of loads because of The desire for expediency Is is a killer in many industries. its possible im wrong here and the tickness of the material at the bottom means the center of g is lower than it looks

[@TBendez]

Yeah, why didn't it tip over? Friction of the two straps against the bottom of the flask? Would a strap around the bottom circumference, over the side straps, rendered it safe to lift?

[@RotarySMP]

You get to machine some interesting parts.

I was thinking when machining out the bottom that the G-code for constant surface speed would save having to grind out the left-over spiggot. But I don't suppose 500kg of cast iron would really appreciate being spun up to a few thousand rpm, would it? 🤪😅

[@grahambird1570]

This isn't Cast Iron, it's Steel >>> Swarf !

It would have made for an epic video though. 🤣

Step 1; stand on the chuck Step 2; use a big shovel Step 3; fill two wheelbarrows with swarf Step 4; continue facing that side of the part

[@lvxleather]

Pretty cool, it looks like a giant pot for a plant. What kind if steel was this made from? Also what model vertical lathe is this? It kind of looks like a Youji I worked with at a shop making impellers and large castings. I really grew fond of machining those big parts. Thanks for the video 👍

[@slipstreamvids7422]

An awful lot of machine time and labor for what is likely just a trash bucket. I think its a container for either slag or for pigging out a ladle after pouring off sand cast molds. We had something similar in the gray iron foundry but much smaller. The large mass and smooth surface is necessary to prevent molten metal from adhering to it for easy removal by tipping.

[@bryanst.martin7134]

You should checkout EXAIR line of products, they have an airlift system that can clean that out in a matter of seconds. In fact, their business is designed to save big shops money by increasing efficiency and reducing air use at the same time.

[@a-fl-man640]

multiply that chip cleanout by the number flasks and that's a lot of chips to deal with.

[@clintchapman4319]

Why does the casting have to be machined to that degree of surface finish to melt stuff in?

[@caminojohn3240]

Not too sound ignorant, but it seems to me this relies on the bottom surface being absolutely flat. Any unevenness would change how far the top is to one side.

[@todddooley793]

[@Ozmala1]

The way you lift those things is a accident waiting to happen 😔 Please secure them somehow from falling over. A little nudge to the part and the friction of the straps isnt enough to hold it upright.

[@Ozmala1]

And i do know a little about lifting steel structures and parts. I plan hoisting of steel structures and parts anywhere from few tons to over a thousand tons.

[@BigSkyCurmudgeon]

@@Ozmala1 i agree 100% that lurching of the hoist was nearly enough to cause the part to tip off balance. it will bite somebody eventually

[@trixrabbit8792]

It's dangerous, but I flip it carefully. To flip, tie the middle with a sling belt and flip it.

[@tinwizard6447]

Why machine the inside? is'nt it just holding chips?

[@TheTonyMcD]

1:40 How stable is that pot when moving it around like that? It seems like it should be way too easy for it to flip over and hit the ground.

They short straps keep it clamped, but the day longer straps are used something is getting a huge dent...

[@grantodaniel7053]

Exactly what I was thinking...

yes, but... if the magnet then (nearly) touches, the magnet will stick itself to the part. There are handheld magnetic sticks for jobs just like this, but this much metal is faster done with a shovel or pitchfork. Magnets are not your friend when parts are still there, only when there gone...
