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.

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?

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?

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 👍

[@burningnose5866]

Super working, but why don't you install a vakuumcleaner...?

[@grantodaniel7053]

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 !

[@ZaphodHarkonnen]

It would have made for an epic video though. 🤣

[@Motor-City-Mike]

[@robertriquelmy7193]

Thanks for the text

[@clintchapman4319]

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

[@ianskinner1619]

that whole pallet lift to table sequence was enough to get any normal shop shut down for the day for safety violations.

[@ronsullivan132]

Nothing wrong with that lift. Rough castings are not the easiest to rig. Retired from place that made large pumps, the 100,000 gpm size. Our safety boss came from OHSA and did everything by their book. Make sure it is balanced before lifting, and then stand a safe distance away incase something does happen. Cut straps are a biggie with rough castings.

[@lapphan8926]

👍

[@bigcheezmoe]

Is the unique hair doo and nice clothing outfit an option?

[@supercharged6771]

I'll buy your rigging technique if you had at least put tension on the upper straps to hold it tigjt but the current way is risky and dangerous, the odds are against you

[@chalinp4886]

Ultimate pot for carnitas Chicharon

[@trixrabbit8792]

So why do you have the piece on pins instead of down on the table?

[@petribomber1]

That lift early at the video looks so scary. I wouln'dt be able to do that

[@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.

[@ikesquirrel]

How many of those flip over while lifting???

[@rapsod1911]

For what is used "steelmill chip flask" and why it need to be precisely machined? To me it looks like ladle for melted metal. Why waist so much energy to smooth inner surface?

[@hahagagagaga4710]

What do you do to the chips?

[@ericm8811]

Hey JamesPark_85 Machining TV! Thank you for the increased detail in your videos! When these parts are used at the steel foundry are they lined with fire brick or ceramics? Are they used to contain molten metal? Thanks a bunch! Ride ride ride!

[@mumblbeebee6546]

He wrote that it was a “chip bucket” and all I could think of was bubbling fat and potatoes 😎

[@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.

[@Bbonno]

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

[@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.

[@zafaradeel2107]

Why don't use electromagnet arm for chip removal????

[@loyeantleyjr.8646]

😎🙂😎

[@a-fl-man640]

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

[@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.

[@mmabagain]

I was just waiting for that piece to flip in the crane. Seems awfully fast RPMs with just a tiny grip on the bottom. I would want a different set up.

[@HitLeftistsWithHammers]

Are they weighted in a way that they can't flip upon lifting?

[@Bbonno]

nope, he is clearly lifting under the center of mass. It only works because the short straps clamp it a bit at the top....

[@petribomber1]

By the way, the way you measure the height of the worpeace, do you always have your G54 on the table?

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

Always. veryical lathe does not require multiple coordinate systems like MCT.

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

16:00 I was halfway expecting to see a magnet, not a shovel.

[@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

[@sebby_cnc]

i honestly would have milled that laying it on its side on the mill saves time and you can flush out the chips without having the shovel however thats how i look at it :)

[@manofausagain]

Maybe mill out the base next time?

[@Horizontreecare]

5 seconds to put a strap around the casted part so it wouldn't flop into lathe.

[@eprofessio]

Why not just leave the cast raw since it is just a flask?

[@TronSAHeroXYZ]

How much pain would you feel if one of those rotating arms on the flask hit an arm as it's moving?

[@clubdjmarcus]

I know for a fact if a finger hits a moving part like that, it feels like a hammer was used. Something that massive at such speed must be like trying to stop a car the way Wile-E coyote would, with similar results but actual pain. Definitely not recommended to be within arms length when turning.

[@manueldasilva8794]

Wouldn't a strong magnet remove all them chips at once

[@grantodaniel7053]

Exactly what I was thinking...

[@clubdjmarcus]

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...

[@spedi6721]

Very unsafe lifting at the start by just relying on the friction of the lifting belts.
