The 3 Dancing Steady Rests.🎶

[@punishr36]

I bet the boys were glad when you went home that day,, Cheers David!

[@Brrraaack]

Once Dave leaves town hearing protection sales are going to colapse!

[@sharkeyist]

Ah the finest chinesium! Any1 watch cutting edge engineering Kurtis in oz? He showed a 9” dia, 8’ long piece that banana’d real bad.

[@alphadog6970]

It plays a song called "never gonna buy chinese" the karaoke version.

[@mjm7187]

Yeah, CEE is anothe favorite, he did manage to save that part.

[@sharkeyist]

@@mjm7187 yeah i liked his “ive got it close, now have it back n try again” attitude.

[@HaraldFinster]

An other example for "quality Chinesium" is the construction of a the bridge crossing the river Rhine at Leverkusen near Cologne: they bought cheap steel from guess where and had to cancel the construction due to poor quality. "Buy cheap, pay more..."

[@mikeysgarage3697]

Hmm, not seen that one, not watched anything of theirs for a few months though.

[@thecorbies]

Blimey! That could get on yer nerves. I say, THAT COULD GET ON YER NERVES.

[@diggmore1362]

What was that I can’t hear a bloodything what’s that noise

[@darkhill556]

First time I've gotten seasick from watching a steady rest! Pretty amazing nothing broke during that cut.

[@georgeswindoll9138]

Love your videos Dave, keep them coming sir!!!!

[@TheEvertw]

Wow, I am amazed the steadies didn't break. The stress must have been humongous.

[@dennisleadbetter7721]

You can see when it's turning the gap between tool and piece is not running true. That putting enormous stresses into the lathe bed.

[@graemewhite5029]

I can see why you run the nylon pads now. Did the middle steady with the chastity belt fitted succumb to vibrations some time in the past ?

[@mjm7187]

I love the sound of inconel in the morning. Though I never machined it I used to whistle in the shop and manage to get a harmonic that was really annoying. Those were the good ol days.

[@ianpendlebury3704]

The not-very-steady steadies. Fascinating stuff, as usual.

[@bcbloc02]

If those steadies were lagged down tight surprised it didn't bust em. That is a lot of movement. That part was like a wet noodle, hate to have to make something precision out of it if it keeps changing like that!!

[@machiningbasics1729]

It’s a form of stress relieving. An old racing car chassis was drilled for lightness by a mate and it “relaxed” when drilled to a slightly bent shape

[@CH-pt8fz]

Wow ,my dad used tell me how this could happen on some materials on big long jobs, especially if it hadn't been stress relieved, but I've never actually seen it. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@scottchappell3193]

Sounds like a sherlock Holmes movie THE CASE OF THE 3 DANCING STEADY RESTS 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jabbaholl]

Forgive me for asking a daft question, I'm not a machinist by any stretch of the imagination, but would I be wrong in assuming the movement is only in the steady's or is the inconnel (I take it that is inconnel from the horrendous squeal. Only learned that watching your channel) that bloody tough that it's making your ways/lathe bed twist and flex too? I hope I've used near enough correct terminology for this to make sense

[@ChrisB257]

That's amazing - and concerning too. Fascinating to see that Dave.

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Kurtis at CEE Cutting Edge Engineering had the same problem with one of his work piece a couple of weeks back. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍺

[@jameswood7712]

Need to add horizontal roller’s to the two support steady rest?

[@juanyamasaki9930]

hi David good work,can you tell me slip pad material?

[@Frenchylikeshikes]

Those steady rests have obviously seen more than 1 war, and they've been patched and band-aided more than a couple of times. Yet here they stand, proud and tall.

[@robbiestevens1158]

Always enjoy your videos fella 👍 Life would be boring without these sort of issues lol

[@loydsa]

great video David, some serious stress in that steel!

[@friedmule5403]

Sorry for my ignorant questions but all this is new to me. I am thinking that the moving material, does it not bend the drill out of straightness? And does it not twist the steady rest out of shape?

[@kisspeteristvan]

Hello David , how are you doing , i've not seen an update in a year or so . I hope you're well . Best regards.

[@top2percent]

Concentricity? Never heard of her.

[@jaymachines7587]

Wow watching this is eye opening for sure I’m lucky I work on tiny stuff mostly aluminum and stainless but this is big boy machining right here. How do you stand that noise all day long man!

[@victoryfirst2878]

Hello David, O.K. how do you keep size on a piece that is not stress-relieved ??? Keep on making nice work on the lathe too. Peace

[@paulrayner4514]

Am I seeing thing or was that steam/smoke coming up the back at 2.34? presume the job is scrap?

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday David, that’s incredible how much it has moved, can the section still be used or is it scrapped and start again?, the steadies certainly dance around, thanks for sharing another interesting video, cheers Matty

[@scania1982]

Is it headed för the scrap bin or can you remove stress by heating it?

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

very good video david..thanks for your time

[@OldePhart]

So steel can have stress inside that you release from cutting? Like wood can as it dries? I had no idea.

[@gj91471]

The only way to get stress out by Vibrating the material and Cryogenic Freezing..... Before final machining

[@IcthioVelocipede]

Yes, there can be internal stresses from how it cooled, so that part of the material is trying to bend it one way, part is trying to bend it the other way. It starts out straight, but then you machine away one of those parts, and suddenly there is nothing opposing the remaining part that wants to bend, so it does.

[@OldePhart]

Interesting, I knew this about heat treatment, not this.

[@gj91471]

@@OldePhart Cryogenic Freezing is an extension of Heat Treatment.

[@greggbowler6525]

david 👋 why the rope on the steady ?

[@blazemaster83]

Are the 2 rear steadies on the trepanning tool fastened down? looks like they are dancing

[@gajterpin2312]

BOOOY! If my steady rest started dancing like that, I would shit my pants! If the workpiece does not run in the center, the steady rest can also pull it out of the chuck, if it is not supported by the tailstock.

[@sebastianschwobel5688]

I did not know that you could bend a steady this much without breaking it.

[@tomb7704]

End piece of the bar?

[@MrRShoaf]

So, what was the result? Also did you find out why?

[@stephenroberts7626]

Not sure how you managed that mate. As you say it happens on long jobs but I've never seen that. Can't be tool centre heights or they would have gone bang ages ago. Could be one of engineering mysteries like a threepenny bit shaped bore. Give it a new engineering name. The Wilks wobble. Nice vid again mate. Steve Roberts.

[@craneop2840]

Was that steel hardened ? Would it make those noises if it was annealed or normalized? -Thanks

[@grumpyg9350]

Have to drop the pan and check those rod bolts.🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻

[@TheEvertw]

What did you do with that bar? Send it back to the customer? CEE recently had a piece that banana'd badly, they had it heat-treated to relieve the stresses.

[@glencasson9046]

Wow! So does it leave your care like that, is there more processes it can go through to correct it, or is that another firms responsibility David?

[@EdgePrecision]

I hope the machine work on the part that comes out of that tube isn't to detailed. It's going to be hell for the machinist. What's all that reinforcement on the center steady? Did it get broken and that's the repair?

[@kyledombrowski7051]

It looks like a coolant guard from here

[@MrTurboturbine]

Where does the movement come from? The frame of the steady rest flexing?

[@Mjerkcheeze]

the material has not been propperly heat treated and started wandering. and yeah the frame of the steady-rests are flexing some :)

[@cda32]

Looks like the entire lathe bed is flexing.

[@Mjerkcheeze]

@@cda32 at kzbin.info/www/bejne/panQYX6mhbaWrrs if u look at the bottom of the picture u can see the steady rest moving and you can see the bed at the sametime.

[@ianm1470]

Core~blimey !!!!

[@CraigLYoung]

It's like going to a rock concert, loud and annoying but very satisfying.

[@gearloose703]

I was wondering how this is not a problem. It seems it is, but not on exotic alloys.

[@MrLukealbanese]

Poor rolling at the mill that one. Brill video though Dave ;-)

[@lloyd4768]

Ok that beats finger nails on a chalkboard!

[@dazaspc]

Looks like the stock had a second start in the rolling mill.

[@chrisbevan6390]

feel for that machine blimey but if it survives it will be one well settled machine bed

[@TimS366]

Is anybody making good steel these days, or is it a case of the client not wanting to part with the cash?

[@markfryer9880]

Well part of the problem is that China is now THE major steel producer in the world. By our actions we have allowed China to gain major market share and kill off steel plants in numerous countries. Steel is treated as a commodity when it quite obviously isn't. Apples come in a range of varieties and so does steel.

[@sausageseggandchips]

@@markfryer9880 The odd thing is that it doesn't seem to be that cheap. If I think back 20 years I don't remember parting with as much cash for steel generally (square, flat etc) when China wasn't as dominant. I might be remembering incorrectly but.....

[@sma11]

Not an issue of what country is making the steel. As machinists, have almost no say in what material we get and what heat treatment it has recieved. Different alloys are more prone to stress issues. We would buy 316L bar stock from reputable mills and even then, there was sometimes significant variance in batches, sometimes extremely tough, sometimes parts could not be degaussed because the were rolled to shape at too low a temperature and work hardened which increased magnetism beyond acceptable levels.

[@metalmanipulator7210]

Dave, do you ever get tired of trepanning? Always fun watching your videos.

[@DudleyToolwright]

Amazing. That's all I can say.

[@paulhammond7489]

'Steady Up lad's'. We may have got some Mancunian heat treated steel?

[@theonlybuzz1969]

Got to love the load tensioning ropes, well 1/4 light line on the green first steady, found to string?? On the third one? Thanks for sharing this with us....Phil

[@K-Effect]

I think the light line is there to hold up the chip/splash pan

[@piavigdalsgaard2230]
