Making Wheel Widening Machine

[@chuckprahl170]

A hat tip to you sir!!! I just watched you do the work of at least 5 highly skilled people. Engineer/Welder/Machinist/Electrician/Machine Assembly and operator. As a retired machinist and machine assembler I truly enjoyed your video!

[@johndurling7156]

As a 69 year old mechanic, machinist, welder,ie Fabricator I admire this ingenuity. Simple,inexpensive & accurate.

[@275jesuss]

Hi from Japan. The playful tolerance of motorcycles and buggies produces high-level fixtures, and we respond with gratitude. The wheel that I was able to see today was the author, and a lot of your ideas and wisdom were put into it. Have a nice day. Greetings. Follow/🔔~

[@bigtxbullion]

Have to admit, thats a tool ill never need and a process Ill never desire for my car. Yet I respect the craftsmanship and technique to make it happen.

[@kalleklp7291]

Impressive. :) I like the approach to the problem. Where I used to work we had weld tables to weld round objects. I've done hundreds of setups on this machine so the workers could weld all kinds of stuff on it.

[@christiangastin4229]

Not only a brilliant display of expertise but also this Gentleman engineering understanding is second to none , congratulations to Sir I loved the concept with the added accessories , a magnificent video ....Thank you for sharing your Idea

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Thank you 😁

[@simons9693]

Learning how to widen a rim is one thing. Knowing how make the machine is another and seeing both happen is believing. Kudos 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦

[@billjacobs8035]

A wonderful example of basic fabrication skills honed by years of practice and a joy to watch. Unfortunately seen very little anymore

[@Patriottoo2]

Wow! Just wow! Did I say, "Wow?" Obviously, the end result justifies all the work involved in producing this marvelous machine. Well done!

[@ВалерийГариев-ю2х]

Вооруженность вашего гаража выше любых похвал,молодец!

[@georgeparker7409]

Excellent workmanship! Sure beats the way we did Ford wide 5 lugs back in the '50's/'60's for early "stock cars". We used an old brake drum lathe with a center section of"37 Ford rear hub. Accurate enough for "circle burners".

[@alro2434]

Cutting off the back side of another rim to replace the front, for widening & looks, was popular back then, the welding was not nearly as nice. Being able to cut down to the center piece with the cutoff wheel and being able to center the addition on the center piece is a BIG help.

[@csu9242]

It seems to be very essential for a certain sort of automobilistics drive on widened slics to show all guys what sort of helldriver you are, but great compliment to the constructor 👏

[@kevinkirk4285]

You create some awesome tools. I enjoy every single one of your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Thank you 😁

Нет ничего невозможного, главное иметь желание двигаться вперёд к новым идеям.Respect!

[@CreativeIdeasMaker]

*_You have presented a creative and interesting idea, and there were other tutorials in this video that I enjoyed watching. Well done._*

[@emptech]

Back in the 70's, I did work for a company that manufactured RV's in Los Angeles. They modified small import pick-up trucks. They needed wider tires for the back, they did exactly what you saw in the video. I don't recall the machine that cut the rim all that complicated though. It seemed they cut the wheel on a lathe, didn't use a cut-off disk like in the video. They then welded a section of pipe in, I don't recall what kind of welder, believe it was a MIG welder though. Apparently the wheel size they needed was not commercially manufactured, they needed them, they built them. Jim

[@CPUDOCTHE1]

My son had to make a couple of wheels wider one time. We just cut a plate on the cnc to mount the wheel to an engine stand and one person held the plasma cutter and the other rotated the wheel. Of course it was not DOT approved for highway use. It was just for a 1500 hp pulling truck. That was some nice looking welds.

[@charlesroer972]

I’m 73 , we were cutting rims n widening them in the 60s . Looks like the idea matured. steel wheels are preferred in certain applications . Good job

[@lisaroberts6618]

WONDERFUL WATCHING SKILLED ENGINEER MAKING STUFF. LOVE IT

Great skillful work with basic facility, work from heart with great passion.

[@JOSEF7011]

2:30 Hole spacing is measured with a digital gauge by measuring the diameter of one hole, zeroing the measurement and measuring the hole spacing between the outside tangents of the two holes. The cut-out is the size of the centers of the two holes 🙂

[@arturdobrowolski4067]

Come on, he did what he thought :)

[@rsz90182]

What is wrong with his 2-second method? I don't even understand what you wrote makes zero sense.

[@jasona6222]

Not many videos impress me…this one does. Great job

[@mikef.1000]

What an excellent piece of engineering all 'round. Respect!!

[@terrylew6259]

Your competence and skill is extraordinary... (But you already know that😉)

[@carmelonold1090]

Being said that it is an outstanding work and i have enjoyed watching his performing a lot. Thanks 👏 I have to point that making wider change all the physics, stress, tensión so as the rims shoulg had to be reinforced as new loads have to be contemplated, and i would not rely my life driving a car to its limits with that wheel, neverthelesd again a fantastic lesson on machinery. 👍

[@jewelsog423]

MY GUY THIS NEEDS TO BE PATENTED AND SEE IF THERE IS A DEFINITELY A MARKET FOR SOMETHING THAT USEFUL AWESOME JOB 👍🏼

[@LuisSerapioestudiofotografico]

guauuuu que soldaduraaaa tanto trabajo para llegar a ese nivel, un genio sos un genio.... admirable..... no tenes "techo amigo" exitos

[@tomanycooks]

really well done. I've seen a lot of shit on KZbin so it's refreshing to see someone who has actual skills. you'll get a lot of good use out of that jig

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Nice application of some basic engineering. Simple, but highly effective. Makes me want to investigate what else you have on your channel. Well done.

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Thank you 😁

[@Asal_Lempar_Fishing]

Amazing like from indonesia country 👍🇮🇩

[@einfelder8262]

Way back in the early 1970's I had a set of wheels widened by cutting and inserting a band. This was in Launceston, Tasmania - the shop that did it was very busy as most wheels back then were for tubed tyres and 4.5" rim width, with most cars having huge distance from the body to the rim. The car enthusiasts all wanted 6.5 - 7.0 inch rims and the tyres for that were all tubeless, so the welding job had to be good. Not sure what kind of equipment the shop used, but the results were perfect. It's no longer legal to run wheels widened this way in Australia.

[@manueldasilva8794]

Now that's how you make a machine to make your job easier very accurate from what I can say

[@ccfmfg]

Wow! I like the Teazer at the end for your next video "The Wheel Narrowing Machine."

[@marioescobedo5603]

5 star work you made look so easy tank you for sharing

[@jjock3239]

What a superb video! The plan and the workmanship are a thing of beauty.

[@navvet4518]

That was a great build! It’s a treat to watch a true craftsman at work.

[@panhandle-123]

Wow amazing. I used metal hacksaw machines in the 70s. The blades were often breakin tho. The company made roller shutter doors.

[@vladimirp6263]

Теперь осталось всего то. Построить гоночный автомобиль и трассу для покатушек. 👍😃

[@kylemilford5968]

Amazing to watch. If you're already on the lathe for heavy duty work I would bevel the two welding surfaces about half way down, you still get half of the flat surface for alignment & much stronger welds that can be ground flat & retain strength due to the root

[@henrygarza1495]

You Sir are a mechanical genius!

Сталь как бумага в руках мастера до самого конца видео не понимал в чем идея мастера 😀👍

[@TravisMShannon]

You're pretty damn handy, lol! I'm also pretty sure you did a better job than the factory did when they made that wheel. Only thing I would have done is made the wheel wider if I was going to go to all that work. Good job, Man!

[@SharpByCoop]

Wonderful. I had a pair of OEM polished aluminum Ford wheels from my 2012 Mustane widened by a craftsman in Michigan. I don't know how HE did it, but it came out very well. 8" wheels became 10" wheels, yet looked STOCK. Same idea. Props on an easy-to-understand and well-thought-out build.

[@lyndonthan4350]

really like this project. Thanks for sharing. I often thought about buidling something like this as well. One reason was to also straighten bent wheel rims, as well as to produce round parts like pressure tanks. Now to find a good spot in the workshop to store this fixture !

Установка просто супер! Но вам надо изолировать болт крепления косички массы от рамы установки. Электроэрозия быстро убъёт подшипники, так как ток будет частично течь через них.
