Line boring and Bore welding Caterpillar 775 Truck rear strut rod | Sir Meccanica WS2
In this video we are line boring and bore welding to repair a Caterpillar 775 truck rear strut rod that had a bearing fail and damage the rod eye. We are using our Sir Meccanica WS2 portable in-line boring and bore welding machine. First is setting up and tack welding on the bearing mounts for positioning the line boring machine. We need to line bore out the damaged eye material before bore welding to build up new material before boring out to spec. We also cut the internal snap ring grooves using a boring and facing head from a milling machine that was adapted for cutting snap ring grooves. The repair is completed for our customer by drilling in the grease port and cleaning up the strut rod eye surfaces.

Wouldn't mind a review video on the boring machine. It's a bit different from the ones I've used, looks like some areas are an improvement.
Looks a nice bit of kit, quite rigid. Yes, Allways willing to learn. Thanks.
yep as sir meccanicca have a dreadful website what's the power consumption of the machine
Would love to see a review on this machine. I have done plenty of these kind of jobs in the past on a mill, boring machine and manually welding them. A workshop near me has a few similar machines that he made himself abd run on hydraulics. He skims large tank flanges with one of them but this is a cool little one.👍
Yes I would be interested as we use the York system. It would be nice to see a review of a different system
I went from "I have absolutely no idea what's going on here" to "this is the coolest thing I've ever seen" real quick
Welcome to the channel thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video 😎👍
This man makes his money the old fashioned way...he works damn hard for it. Much respect sir, please keep sharing.
Simply outstanding! Never seen a machine like that before. The camera work was fantastic, really gave us great shots of the machine in action. Also, the text at the bottom of the screen, whilst not the first video you have employed this, was very helpful listing the steps as it was a machine I had never seen before I had no idea what was going on so the text really helped. Well done guys! Really fantastic content.
Hey Sean great to see your comment thanks for watching. Yeah it's a good bit of gear definitely makes these jobs easier. Appreciate the feedback, my misses struggled with the small area to film in and nagged me for details to add the subtitles hahaha guess it all paid off. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
That machine gives a great finish. Why bother drilling the grease port? Doesn’t look like they used it last time.
🤣🤣🤣 hahaa you're spot on there. Just standard practice to meet OEM spec 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering if they keep breaking them, you can keep fixing them.
The seals can get buggered, and let in dirt/water, then the bearing is not long for the world, even if it was greased. Dirt gets caught in the grease, and acts as a grinding compound. Water in a bearing aint doing it any good either.
@@the_hate_inside1085 tis why most people over grease to push out all that crap that might be caught inside. Cheers :)
There so much pounding and pressure on that bearing even greased some what regular once it starts to get play its not for long in its environment. That one was taken to the extreme though. Lucky it didn’t stretch or brake that eye, a new rod/ram is a pretty penny.
I worked for a Caterpillar dealer in West Virginia and we had an outfit that came in and did all our line boring and welding. They didn't have a bore welder and did it all by hand. Never seemed to cause any problem but it never looked near as nice as your bore welding does, lol. Keep up the awesome work bro! You have a very good skill and I hope you pass it on to someone that has as much passion for it as you.
I didn't know that I was that interested in this type of work, but apparently I am because I was disappointed when it was over. Great job! Love the outtakes. I live in Brissy so I really appreciate the Aussie sense of humour. Keep the commentary coming, it all takes practice.
Aussie Aussie Aussie hahaa cheers mate appreciate the local support thanks for watching glad you're enjoying the vids 😎👊💥
Always nice to see a beat up, worn out piece resurrected to "like new" condition, and live to fight another day. Cheers
It's soooo heartwarming to see old parts not getting scrapped but being brought back to life with some skillful machining. Keep up the good work mates, love to see your films.
Hey mate thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video 😎👍
It’s amazing how far this channel has come in only 1 year. I stumbled across it by accident, now I can’t wait till every Friday come round to watch the latest video. I love the no nonsense, no commercialised, content you all provide, and the very professional videography that makes them both interesting and diverse. Well done keep it up the hard work 👍🏻
The knowledge this dude possesses blows my mind, great videos guys
Hey mate thanks appreciate it 😎👍
I have never seen a boring machine like that! Rebuilding with a mig after boring, worked great! Enjoyable to watch...
Cheers mate thanks for watching and commenting 😎👍
Your customers should be very happy to have you! Nice work sir…
That little machine is amazing and so versatile. Love to see old beat up rusty things shinning like new. Great work as always. Cheers mate!!!
First time seeing such a machine. Beautiful work! You guys are just getting better and better with these videos. I really enjoyed it and the outtakes at the end were pure fun. Keep em coming!
Hey Russ cheers mate thanks for supporting really appreciate it. Will keep working on providing videos to enjoy watching 😎👍
They say it's not the machine its the machinist. I am impressed with both.
Hey Bernie thanks mate really appreciate it 😎👍
Great videos and you're a very skilled man.....Never saw any operations like this. Tough, hard dirty work....I'm a mechanic and worked as an engine machinist and engine builder. Did lots of Mack diesel heads and some big Cat heads and rods but nothing ever like this work......We did have a Tobin-Arp line boring machine/table for blocks. Only one guy ever ran that machine. Not me....
Really nice to see someone doing a bloody good job mate. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking your time and posting these. And its really nice to see other machinists are seeing your videos and commenting, saw many guys in your comments. Keep up the good work. thanks for the vid.
Hey mate thanks for the support! Cheers 😎👊💥
Stumbled across this after looking at some learning material for my machining unit standard that makes up part of my apprenticeship. Gotta say man it's pretty satisfying to watch and see tools being used for more than just lathes and mills. Cheers!
Hey mate welcome to the channel thanks for watching and all the best with your apprenticeship it's an awesome trade to be in 😎👊💥
I've watched a lot of of other machinist videos out there, but your videos are the only ones that seem to capture this type of work; It's really interesting.
KZhead will NOT like the last bit but its the best part.. Sounds like when I am at work..
Hey mate yeah we wanted our channel to be real life so that's what you get haha we know extreme profanity especially at the start of the video will get us a KZhead strike so avoiding that, so far so good 😎👍
This is becoming my favorite machining channel on KZhead! Why? First and foremost; You don't have the "send me free money on Patreon" links every 5 minutes in each video. So many other machinists on KZhead have HUGE home machine shops that most KZhead viewers can only dream of having. Yet, they ask for money or donations via Patreon in every video they post?!? Really? You also don't stand in front of the camera talking incessantly for 5-10 minutes of every video which is super annoying. . Sorry to vent. lol.😂 Your channel is all action with great camera shots while demonstrating excellent camera work and amazing machining skills. Chips fly and you let that do all your talking! Again, your lady does great in filming your work and skills! Keep up the great work mate!
Hey Bill thanks for sharing your feedback mate appreciate the support. I completely agree and have stopped watching alot of videos for that reason. We wanted our channel to be about real life workshop in action because the constant talking and sponsorship bs is fucken annoying and we didn't want that on our channel. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering . Clearly there's a lot of narcissistic machinists with Channels on KZhead who LOVE to hear themselves talk while maximizing their face time in front of the camera as much as possible! 😝 Annoying to say the least! Several buddies and I have stopped watching some of these channels because we can't take their constant "support this channel, Pateron" links. I want to watch quality machine work, not view pan handling channels... Sad.
Yeah we've already been approached by a sponsorship company wanting us to promote some of their brands for a fee. We're not going to sell ourselves out 😎👍
Loving these videos - keep them coming. I’m amazed that it’s cheaper to repair these sorts of parts than replace them - must be a tonne of hours in a job like this
Hey Phil cheers mate thanks for supporting the channel! Not as many hours as you think, waiting for the weld to cool is the longest but when you've got multiple parts to bore can really get on a roll. About half a work day in solid machine and setup time 😎👍
Yeah I can imagine manually welding that bore out would be a pain in the arse. I suppose the only other option would be to press/weld in a sleeve? And that would be a bunch more machining time.
Yeah we come across that style repair all the time it's a hack job and the ones I've come across have always failed but I guess not everyone has a machine setup like this and just does their best 😅
This has to be one of the most educational videos ive seen in a long long time on KZhead. Thanx for the education
Hey mate thanks for watching and commenting 😎👍
You can understand the beefy welding to keep everything true for the cost of six bolts. Clever engineering and a good machinist. Paint is extra;) I see the four legged boss checking up on you but can be bought off for a treat.
Great to see the those inserts we got you in use. Had no idea that borer would do the whole job in one setup. Always wondered how you would face and bore the snap ring grooves. Awesome.
Hey Tim these ones were from Arthur plus got them with mentos 🤣 yeah it's a decent bit of tooling got to love when jobs are easier 😎👍
Those out-takes at the end were great! 😂
My favourite part hahaa 😎👍
Your bore welding rig is a lovely bit of kit
That machine is a goldmine
That WS2 portable looks a cool piece of gear. I've watched Albom79 use his welding powders but that WS2 doing an internal weld was something over and above that. If you use it a lot in your type of business I'd welcome more videos on its use.
Hey mate thanks for watching, yeah was well worth the investment for this type of work. Will probably have another video of it in action soon! Cheers 😎👍
AMAZING JOB !!! You always have the right tool for the job. Love it.
Hey mate thanks appreciate you watching 😎👍
everyone brags on ole Curtis (true he knows his sh-t) but the lady that gets little credit on that camera is just absolutely suburb my hats off to you Ma'am great job !!!!!💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Probably the best part of your videos are the outtakes at the end, I watch all the time.
Damn...thats some nice work!!! Ive never seen a bore weld that beautiful in a while!!! Nice job well done!!!!
Hey Jesse cheers mate appreciate it 😎👊💥
Wow I've welded miles and miles in bores with hardfacing stick wish i would have had this thing helluva piece of kit
yeah fuck doing it by hand, I did in the beginning but quickly invested in one of these machines 🤣
When I watch videos like this of people repairing/building/modifying components for heavy machinery, I always wonder one thing. How often do you repair something and after delivery back to the customer, does the customer ever respond back and hits you with a "This fit great, thank you so much" or "Excellent work!". I would assume that this happens more with newer clients and gives you a sense of return customers but I'm more curious about long time clients. Obviously they are using you so they trust your workmanship, but I'm always curious on how often they are simply amazed by the quality and presentation of any given repair that they actually reach out afterwards and give you a well-deserved pat on the back for your time.
best machinist I've seen
Shit hope I haven't peaked too soon hahaa thanks very much 😎👍
Love the "blooper" bits at the end with the f words
The best part I reckon 🤣 haha
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering yes have to agree things seem to work out a bit better when swearing at them or you just feel better not sure which is correct
Great stuff. Really enjoy your videos. Glad you're going out of your way to step in the camera and explain. Tank you. PS, I love the shop dog. Keep up the great work!
Hey mate thanks for watching and dropping a great comment. 😎👍
Another great video. My shop is not a hydraulic shop per se, but rather a jobbing shop that takes on the odd hydraulic cylinder. I must say I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for that. Also, I really like the bloopers at the end. With the exception of an Australian accent (instead of a Canadian one) it really does sound like my shop when I'm working. That word with the c roughly in the middle of it and that other word that starts with a c are in constant use in my shop, often one after the other. Thanks, Ken
Hey Ken thanks for watching mate glad you're enjoying the videos from over there. Haha yes Fs and Cs are all part of workshop vocabulary to get a job done right 🤣👊💥 Cheers, Kurtis
Omg He,s F in & Jef fin now before he starts Kurtis I have to say Your good Lady is a saint, great show as always Love to You both form Liverpool Uk
Love your videos, especially the outtakes at the end complete with Aussie vernacular!
Hey Paul cheers mate yeah that's my favourite part of the video haha 😎👍
Отличный станок!👍👍👍
Приветствую) не пойму.. чтобы замерить последние проходы Он снимает штангу полностью ??? ...ну чтобы нутромером замерить Я имею ввиду?!
@@user-fq7vd2yj3c мне так кажется,у него известен точный размер державки на борштанге.И от нее он уже и пляшет.
Ws2 sirmeccanica spa , Italian pride . when I see a tool made in Italy, so far from Italy, I feel proud.
Thanks for watching mate 😎👍
Yet again, great work and skill. That boring machine was great to see, never seen anything like it before. Love the ending, spoken like a true Aussie lol
Hey Phillip cheers mate appreciate it. Yeah it's a great bit of gear definitely makes these jobs easier. Ending is my favourite bit hahaa
the shop manager keeping you guys on your toes again i see.
He's never far away, follows my misses everywhere 🐕😂
One question, how much does your vet charge to remove paw swarf? 😢
Nothing mate he's never had swarf in his paws that bad 💪🐕
@@chrisstephens6673 Not many animals are as weak as humans Walking in swarf is much the same as prickles in some grass Their paws are much tougher than we think
@@fowletm1992 agreed but I can testify to the sharpness of swarf, I nearly cut my thumb off a month ago. And no I wasn't doing anything unusually silly at the time, a pure rather messy accident.
6:31 ... Thats one handsome Staffy you have there!! 🧡
Thanks mate yeah he gets all the ladies hahaa
His harness is too tight!
i remember having to do a similar job about 40 years ago. A millwright decided the easiest way to get a bearing out was with a cutting torch. (GENIUS) .He did not know how to make a bearing puller and would not ask for help. it would not have been so hard but our management at that time did not think we needed carbide tooling .Too expensive they said. So i worked at it for three days ,resharpening my HSS tool every 5 minutes after hitting all the bearing material he melted into it.
I like you, but I’m not sure you like you enough. You’re good at what you do, and like the rest of us, one mistake isn’t made up with a thousand successes. You are genuinely fun to watch - get it. You are fun to watch, and that is what successful videos are all about. And damn but I like that dog!
GDaye . Thats another specialized bit of kit I never knew existed , Im interested if you want to do an in depth video on it . Do you make the bearing for the rod eye ? Thanks for the entertainment . Regards .
Hey Steve great to see you here mate thanks for watching. Nah the bearing for the eye is an OEM factory component. Cheers, Kurtis👍
Love the pooches interaction. He is beaut!
Respect from Germany👍
Cheers mate thanks for watching 😎👍
lol, trying to eat the wife's sunglasses. Im going to assume that those bearing failures were in the catastrophic failure category given the damage? Cool machine, looks like it makes near perfect welds. Great video
He's such a turd hahaaa Yeah with the right settings it goes well and welds beautifully, it can be a prick of a job if there is impurities deeper in the eye. Would class this as above average damage, lack of maintenance, catastrophic would be eye ripped off or split 🤣
A very interesting and very well made video, explains the process perfectly. Thank you. How long does it take, start to end?
Hey mate thanks for watching and commenting. All up with setup and weld cool down time usually about 6.5 to 7 hours in a job like this 😎👍
Thanks Kurtis, the set up and filming time is very much appreciated! Thank you too, Giggler and Security Officer!
Takin a skim before second weld pass. Shit Hot Farrrrrrkin love it!!!!! Thats how the big boys roll!!!!!
that insert tooling is some tough stuff the way it cuts through that weld surface.
Yeah works well that's a Dormer Pramet insert
Greetings from Sweden! Have been following your channel now for the last two months and I have to say that the ability and ”feel” for manual milling/turning/boring that you have is truly outstanding! Is the mig welder in this application water cooled? Seems like it would get quite toasty in there but I didnt see or hear any signs of wire jamming or spattering?
Hey mate thanks very much for supporting the channel! Nah not water cooled just 500amp inverter has an excellent duty cycle no overheating. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Great camera work Miss Camera Lady.....much better shot of setting tool depth, very easy to understand......fantastic job, love Sir Safety Director, makes me smile every time I see him. Cheers form USA, Paul
Been a structural welder 20 years never seen a machine like that nice job on your tacks with hard wire
Hey mate yeah seems alot of people never seen one of these before. Thanks for watching 😎👍
Are operators not greasing their equipment, or is it just old? That is a really neat bit of kit!
Hey mate could be a number of reasons why bushing failed... lack of maintenance, reusing and old pin, no grease etc. Thanks for watching
d lazy and not greasing like they should is my opinion.
Wrong grease for the application is another potential cause. Lots of outfits get the cheapest grease they can get by the pallet. For those applications, extreme-pressure moly grease is the way to go. Cat even has a memo out on the new 745 a-frame bearings that non-moly grease will accelerate failure of the bearing.
Great video as usual! Quick question, how many employees do you have? You have a lot of equipment for one guy to be paying for! My reguards to the safety inspector.
Hey Ed thanks for watching mate. It's just me in the workshop for now and my misses (doing the video/editing) she also does all the office side of the business, then there's the useless safety officer who breaks lots of regulations hahaa. I work pretty bloody hard but like to keep my business moving forward and re-invest back into it to get the right tools and machines
absolutely blown away. never even knew such machines existed.
Can’t help but love line boring, taking something and making it new again
yeah before and afters always look nice 😎👍
How long did that repair take from start to finish. I love watching this sort of work but I have no idea how time consuming it actually is.
Hey mate thanks for watching haha yeah an edited video of 25mins is very deceiving. The whole job with setup and time for weld to cool before finish boring takes about 6.5 to 7 hours. Usually have more than 1 part or bushing position to repair at once so can get on bit of a roll 😎👍
I hate you, your "tack welds" look better than most of my welds! LOL
🤣🤣🤣 many many years in the trade!
Engineer, impressive work, I love the very complete SIR WS2 machine. Thank you for sharing your technique, knowledge, machinery, equipment and tools. Greetings from Guatemala Central America.
Beautiful machine, excellent job. I was particularly impressed that you bored the first weld bead so that the second bead has clean metal to bond to. I bet that not everyone does this as it takes that much more time. How come you had to set the machine up on the other side for the second snap ring? Too much overhang and possibility of chatter if you go from the first side?
Hey mate thanks very much. Yeah not many do that but Ive never had my job come back but had to repair other guys work the day after they did it 😂 And you're spot on with cutting the snap ring. Respect 😎👊💥
the wall thickness on that eye looks disproportionate, anyway, nice f'n job, mate ... I had a dog like that...had to get a dodgy vet to certify it was a poodle
Hey mate yeah it is like that and comes standard from factory, they're under constant compression no chance to rip the eye. This boys a blue english staffy looks alot like another good breed 😎👍
That automated welding is awesome, so much better and cleaner than spray welding :)
Yeah goes well and we've never had one fail
Really great job with some totally new bits of kit from my perspective. Nice to see the apprentice enjoying himself!
you are a gold mine for your company, i just wanted to say
Hey mate I hope so it's my company and just me that does the work haha cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
That boring & welding tool is awesome, on to the wish list it goes
Yeah mate it's a decent bit of gear and definitely worth the investment for this sort of work 😎👍
Masterpiece of repairing
Nice chip. Good solid setup. I did some line boring and welding for my shop years ago. Always found it to be an enjoyable and interesting process. Unlimited application for repair. Thanks for the hi quality vid!
Hey mate appreciate the comment especially from someone with experience! Cheers 😎👍
I really enjoyed the line bore video. The tooling is nice. I really like the bearing block attachment method. I think it is a cleaner idea than the York machine we use in Texas.
Great Job Giggler, the camera work is Awesome. You make Curtis look Great.
Awesome work. Amazing boring machine. Great video. Excellent skills. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers mate appreciate the great comment 😎👍
i"m a tool and die maker. Ive never done this type of boring. But very impressed with the bore finish. with this setup. It must be super ridgid.
looked like they beat the hell out of that eye , very nice repair
Man how things have changed! I used to do that same work years ago for a Cat dealer in Tampa Florida. Nothi ng that high tech though, Cat had a boring kit that used a hydraulic actuator that advanced as you turned it. The ones we had worked quite well but on a whole were not very well received. Our bearing holders were tack welded on in the same way but had three set screws from the outside that tightened on a plain spherical bearing. The bearings were 2 inch I think. We had collars that could clamp onto the bar that would go up to 6 inches. The whole mess was turned by a 3/8 air drill and speed could be varied to suit. Most of the time we just bored the hole oversize to accept a repair sleeve which got welded in. The original Cat hardened sleeve was then pressed back in. The whole contraption was quite dodgy and had a nasty bit with chatter. Oh, the bar that spun in those spherical bearings was lubricated with anti-seize compound so you got nice and black from the graphite. Beautiful machine, well made and the welder was fascinating. I wondered how you were going to do the snap ring grooves. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for the great video and am looking forward to seeing how you modern youngsters do stuff! LOL! Even at 62 I still learn new things! Cheers! Terry from South Carolina
Hey Terry yes the technology today is unbelievable but still lacks in some things such as the snap ring cutter and why I got creative. Sounds like they got creative back then with what they could do too, we've come a ways hahaha Thanks for watching mate from over there, have a good week. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
That machine is bad ass. I was thinking it would have been easier to bore that in the mill, which may be so. However, with it being able to weld as well and getting both processes done with one setup and not having to move that heavy bastard around is awesome. Great work, very cool seeing pieces of machinery I’m not familiar with. And the bead that thing lays...damn!
Hey mate thanks for watching yeah it's a decent bit of gear definitely makes these sorts of jobs easier. I've done it the hard way with hand weld and using a milling machine to bore and quickly invested in this machine to save my sanity 🤣
I love the borewelding, it's so awesome to see.
I knew the existence of line boring machines never used one but one that welds so uniform looks awesome.Used to machine similar type of work on horizontal borers but this is an exceptional piece of equipment especially when you can't bring the job to the machine.
Hey mate thanks for watching, yeah this is definitely a handy piece of gear to have in our arsenal 😎👊💥
Cracking video mate, I’m a reclamation machinist myself but have done most of it with metal arc spray and HVOF. Just about to start a new job lineboring so this has been a huge help!
I'm a grade 5 adjuster in an ammunition plant, in charge of the cupping operation on my shift. We run Fritz Warner dual action presses. We had an outfit come in and line bore one of our cuppers. They used a laser mapping set up to figure center of the bore. Attachment plates were made for both sides of the cupper. The bearing jig for the bar was placed and the machine installed. There are 4 main journals in this cupper the width of the crank case is about 4 foot long, the outer journals about 7 inches wide the two inner journals 3 inches wide. Tell me if this doesn't sound right. When the outfit that was doing the boring job would machine a journal they would take the cutter of the bar reposition the whole rig for each journal then continue with the next journal. In the end they ended up 0.009" off center with one of the journals. In my mind, just from watching engine main bearing journals getting line bored I would believe a person would let the boring tool run from one side to another and not upset the boring bar mounts in the process. I'm just a layman in this operation, just wanted to hear your thoughts on these goings on. Excellent video btw👍👍subbed your channel.
Hey mate thanks for sharing. Yes I totally agree that once it's setup and you have found center then leave it alone, don't move or adjust anything especially on something with such fine tolerance. Without seeing the setup it's hard to say why they did that, maybe a reach issue, but rule of thumb...once it's set leave it the fuck alone haha. Thanks for subbing. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Very interesting.. I haven't seen a line boring machine like that before, Looks like it takes a pretty healthy depth of cut ! thanks for sharing !
Superb workmanship! Great save.
Cheers mate thanks for watching 😎👍
Thanks for sharing all your hard work. Sheds alot of info on how repairs are made and the costs of such. Keep em coming!
Hey mate thanks for watching glad you enjoy the vids will keep them up 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Thanks Robert.
I'd love to see a review of that line bore set up for sure. Thanks all the way from the USA
Never seen a tool like this before, really good . 👍👍
I love your commentary after you finish mate your a true Aussie like me .
You are an inspiration to machinists and youtubers worldwide, good work, good videography, keep it up.
Only one suggestion, maybe take an Orbital sander to finish face on outside areas that are Flap disc ground to give a more polished look, I know, extra time to do, but hopefully customer will notice and appreciate. Cheers on a job well done.
This machine is from ITALY and I'm from Italy too😁
We weld and machine the working surface of cat struts every day at work. Super cool to see how the other half is done.
Hey mate good stuff thanks for watching 😎👊💥
Then the puppy comes out ... now this channel is famous. 😊 I stopped by for the content, but the puppy made my day.
Hey mate glad you enjoyed seeing our safety officer shop dog, he gets all the attention haha 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I bet he does! That line bore looks like a nice toy!
It's good to see a master at work thanks for your time 🇬🇧🕊️🇬🇧🕊️🇬🇧😷
Hey Phil thanks mate! 😎👊💥
That was a slick piece of kit you got there, worth it's weight in gold for those jobs .
Yeah definitely worth it for these types of jobs 😎👊💥
What an incredible bit of kit! I expected you to mill this out and make an insert or something. Brilliant!
