Отличная работа! Автору ещё остаётся приобрести хонинговальный станок, для более точной доводки отверстий. Хотел спросить, как осуществлялась сборка, есть схема для установки уплотнительных элементов?
😭 No Kurtis painting in video 🤣😂
@@travel_like Я думаю, он знает, как это сделать, исходя из своего опыта.
AND WHO SAID YOU DIDN'T GIVE A F%%K? YOU GIVE LOTS OF F$$KS
I can see right now you are going to need more swear jar storage space!! Cheers
The Fragile sticker on the steel stock for the piston got me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
Same lol
A decent dent could cause the material to need swap out
I'm facing my demise down a very short barrel and as a result, spend a majority of my life bedridden. Most of what I do to pass the time is watch KZhead and play on my PS4, (only because I can't afford a PS5 :) ). I could sit and watch you work all day. The skill, accuracy to detail and craftsmanship you put into your projects, I find very enjoyable, relaxing and a delight to watch. I'm very happy I found your channel. Your staffy is cute as a button too. Such a happy little one. You keep putting out this great content and I'll continue watching for as long as I can. Thanks for the distraction and the laughs :)
Friend, whatever you're charging for a job isn't enough. Care, detail, and quality are beyond standard. Great worknas always. I hope your customers recognize that.
I’ve been told that in the trades if you’re not losing half your jobs on price you’re selling yourself short. 😮
Remember there always and Indian guy who can do this cheaper an on the side of the street.. :D
@@Svendrys LOL AN INDIAN GUY AND A HAMMER !!! LOL
@@Svendrys and it will last exactly 2 weeks, 3 days and 2.5 hours. I once saw an Caterpillar D8 Engine rebuild, after it literally exploded with a big hole in the engine block, done in India on the street, on the sandy, dusty ground. In the end they put in some sealings or smth (I think it was around the crankshaft, the part that connects the cylinders to the crankshaft or smth) that should provide lubrication, and they put them in in the wrong way, so the oil won't be able to get in it like it should and its obvious what will happen soon to this "rebuild" engine.. and I don't want to know how much sand and dust got into the engine. And obviously they poured all the engine liquids on the street like it was water..
A lot of shops would have buffed it a bit then put the old piston back in, he rebuilt it from scratch. Both the assembly techniques used and materials used were better than factory.
I was a job shop machinist for forty years. Really appreciate the professionalism you have. It’s Almost a dying art. I miss but don’t miss all the work. Some people think it’s easy but we know it’s not. Although at first I wish I would have paid more attention in math class. Love your videos.
Math isn't my strong suit either, been a production machinist for 10 years til I got laid off, still loving those general machining!
i agree; have family that has worked for decades; my brother did parts for eyes surgery, then parts on special glass for measuring depths in the sea, now for over 2 decades doing Spyderco knives, moved from califonia to colorado, factory across for the coors factory; try those great knives; another uncle worked doing parts for military helicopters; they enjoyed, i do enjoy wood working and this channel a lot;
This brings back old memories….I was a form block maker and machinist working for Northrup Aircraft Company while i was going to college.
It's no easy work man. Tough and very sensitive in every sense
I love the fragile wrapping on the solid piece of steel.
thats the info for the person handling it, not the pice of steel :D
It’s a trap to catch crappy delivery drivers when they drop kick it into the van and break their toes 😁
I have known people who if given a rubber hammer and a 200 pound anvil and left alone for 2 hours they would destroy that anvil. Handle with care indeed!
You’ve obviously never had a knuckle dragging steering wheel attendant AKA truck “driver” dog a chain down over a length of precision finished/ground 4140. Yeah I know this was only a short piece but the lack of GAF/brains in the transport industry is endemic. Try explaining to a customer that the length of hollow bar you have been waiting months for to finish their job has been turned into a banana by a moron with a 5 t forklift and a pallet full of 200 L drums. At least with a “fragile” wrapping you have some chance of winning the inevitable argument with the office at the transport company.
Against dust on the thread
That commitment to the thread cutting without running a scratch pass to check thread pitch makes me nervous every time I see it. Congrats for having that amount of courage to commit to it like you do. Once again, fantastic video.
YEET! 😂👍
Full send or nothing
Me as well. Such confidence in machines and edges my customers never had (I was an insert engineer, ceramic, PCBN and carbide, for 25yrs). Perhaps Kurtis is not showing us everything, which is totally understandable. I always recommended a fresh edge, or visual edge inspection in Mantis scope, before doing a finish cut, particularly in big expensive parts like CEE routinely handles. Ouch, accidents, unpredictable, happen and bite big $$. Love the vids, thanks to folks at CEE... and yes, more Homeless! :)
scratch passes are a great way to pad the machine hours .....ERM I MEAN , to make sure everything is gong well . Definitely not a way to scam people out of a few more of their hard earned currency . But in a high volume shop where threads are cut every day you learn to just trust your machine and your instinct . Not looking for a fight , just making a joke , nothing wrong with making a scratch pass if it makes you comfortable .
Go big or go home.
Absolutely fascinating to watch! Brings back memories of starting out in a machine shop at the start of my engineering apprenticeship exactly 45 years ago! And makes me want to go back there and learn it all again! 😆 Love the use of the press as a spare pair of hands!
A first-class job..! Bravo! Promise you won't stop showing Homeless, he totally cheers me up. He's the happiest dog on KZhead.
My week is like a hydraulic piston. Under pressure all the time, always going back and forth, bearing this load or that, and I come out of it fucking munted... until CEE fixes me up again. Cheers mates
Hope you get a rest over the weekend mate
I do not think anybody ever summarized better what I love about Kurtis' and Karen's channel. You are speaking my mind!
It’s 17 year old Kurtis with a “Stash” 🥰😍❤️ absolutely beautiful work on the Barrel in the last video Sir. It’s so satisfying to see someone who knows exactly what he’s doing go about his/her {Karen the producer/director is the real boss} job. Please hug homeless for me 🥰
Cheers mate glad you like the videos and work and my face 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering well, ummmmmmmm well, ummmmmmm 😎
I love how totally confident and competant you are.
Not knowing jack about what you do makes it so amazing to watch the skill and knowledge you have. You make it easy to follow each job you take on and be able to watch both your success and failures and how you get to the final finish. Oh, and adding your great dog to your videos is another reason I love them. Stay safe and healthy.
I know that it takes an incredible amount of additional work to shoot and edit each of these well done episodes. Thank you for doing it. CEE is in my top 5 channels to follow. I am continually pleased to see both the skills you apply and the depth of experience you have with the equipment you repair and reconstruct critical components for.
Chris that's why he makes the big bucks.
As somebody with no experience in large hydraulics like this, I really appreciated you showing us the reassembly of the piston seals - *thanks heaps!* It's absolutely incredible how much pressure and force those tiny little things can withstand, day after day, with some gorilla operator bashing the living sh!t out of the machine. We actually had sun today in Sydney... so strange to get a change from rain!
we have had to change seals on our 2000 vertical compression press. 36 inch bore x 60 inch stroke. 914 mm bore x 1500 mm stroke. first pull the slide and cylinder . it weighs 50 tons . pull cylinder apart vertically with a 30 ton crane. piston seals and guide rings cost 25k. cylinder works upside down . the rod stays stationary and the external housing moves up and down. this gives less deflection to the press platen. makes it very difficult to change seals. seals last about 5 years cause the platen gets around 100 C since the mold under it is 160C.
"with some gorilla operator bashing the living sh!t out of the machine" ........Bahhaaaaaaaaa.
When thinking of pressure, always remember that PSI is pounds per square inch. If you have high pressure but not that many square inches (of acting surface area), you have a low force :) I feel like PSI is the more intuitive unit here because it spells out what it is. It of course applies to bars or pascals or whatever too :)
As somebody with experience in large hydraulics, this is still awesome because I never see the inside of the cylinders and I'm not a machinist.
Careful there is an Heavy Equipment hire/Lease company named after the animal, here in Australia. Please don't get them upset.
I was a machinist years ago. I could not stop watching, very satisfying before and after. Thank you for your knowledge and attention to detail.
The last couple minutes are always my favorite. Anyone that takes pride in their work speaks the same way when they're concentrating or dealing with a headache. I love it.
I've been watching your videos for a month or two now (watching old ones when I need a fix) & you make it look so easy I'm pretty sure even I could do it. All I'm needing in the shop, machines, & the skills that you have. Thank you for making this videos they are great.
Watching Curtis do his job makes me appreciate all the hard work it takes to make precision parts that are required for today's machinery. I think about all the background work they have to do in order to make a part right (materials, dimensions, tools required) the first time. Mistakes can be expensive and catastrophic. It's a complicated and necessary Dirty Job. Well done to them both. 😀🍻🥓&🐕
I like that you list inserts, rpm’s and feed rates on your turning video’s. Great video’s, thank you for them.
who ever does the videoing deserves more than a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates. it's excellent work. as to the machining work, tbh it's scary how skilled your work is just love it all
Cheers mate we both appreciate the comment
Kurtis,although I’ve never been a machinist I look forward to every single video you release. You are a true master craftsman. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment and showing how things are made in the machine shop.
So much machining and such a good effect. And all of this perfectly filmed. It's a pleasure to watch the work of both of you.
I am a retired pencil pusher who started as an Industrial Engineer out of college and ended up in Real Estate and Development but I really enjoy your skill and ability to make and fix things I have always loved as a kid, heavy equipment. Happy New Year!
Hats off, the engineering, machining, and tolerances you work to are absolutely incredible mate. The amount of work that goes into something!
Kurtis, Excellent machining video. I love your precision movements. You make inserting all the o-rings and seals look so easy. I know it isn't because I've done three or four sets. The three of you make an excellent team. Well done, Lasses, Laddies, and pup!!
I'm finally watching this after a full weekend doing other stuff. Great video as always, it looks like that cylinder will (hopefully) last a LONG while! Watching channels like this, car repair ones, etc, make me HOPE that the engineers designing the equipment and the people writing the repair and maintenance manuals will take notes. I've got a friend who works as a Hydraulic Systems Engineering Project Lead for Caterpillar in their Tucson, AZ Proving Grounds. Maybe he should see some of the repairs you deal with!
The Kurtis Mantra - proper planning, clever tooling, attention to detail and pride in your work! This project was brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
I was in this trade some 30 years ago your work is Amazing.Great to watch and to keep learning.
Great videos mate absolutely love them very helpful for me. I can see how much time and effort goes into 1:the machining and 2:the documentation of it. Keep up the good work man!
As an old bloke who’s been having a bit of fun turning little bits of brass and aluminium on a micro lathe, I’ve been really enjoying watching how all this BIG stuff is done, and with all the same point zero somethingth of a mm precision I’m getting used to. And it’s so satisfying to see something get fixed by machining new parts instead of just chucking it out and buying off the shelf replacements.
Well to say I am mighty impressed ! You boys are true engineers and the care and precision needed for that repair was truly amazing. Brilliant !
Thank you for all your excellent content. I was never in your field (retired now) but cannot stop watching this channel.
Well done! Looked a WHOLE lot better than the mess you started with. Swear jar filling up fast! Lol
Cheers mate thanks for always watching
I love how brutally honest you are, because all this experience and high quality work doesn't mean that accidents don't happen!!! 100% respect for that and your work gets better and better going through all Ur videos from scratch then coming to a point were I'm waiting for new one to come our weird hahaha !! BTW Ur bloopers at the end are way better than Jackie Chan and Chris tuckers in rush hours 🤣🤣
It's so awesome to watch you patiently do all that machining. I am a industrial mechanic myself, and my stepfather is an aussie. Thanks for the awesome videos
I enjoy watching this fellow so much , he has so much integrity and direct to
Curious if Karen has any schooling in video production because her editing skills are top notch, on par with anything you see on tv. Really enjoy the work you two put into making these videos, with the info that is included and so on. Makes someone like me with no engineering experience whatsoever understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. Look forward to your videos every week.
Cutting Edge Video.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I look forward every Friday to watch your videos! Kurtis never disappoints either, and Karen's video work is always outstanding! My favourite Safety Officer is always fun to watch, too. :)
That takes an unbelievable amount of experience, skill, and knowledge to rebuild something like that! Amazing as usual!
Brings back memories of when I was a storeman purchasing officer forklift driver in a factory buying parts for the machine shop and the welders etc. I never got to watch what happened in the machine shop much, it all still looks like home to me and I am fascinated by all the detail you go to, and your wife's videoing as well. And it's ALL Aussie. Top marks to you both!!!!!!!! Well done indeed!!!!
Watching Kurtis making that piston, I was remembering the expression "measure twice, cut once". If I was making that part, I'd measure like 432 times before making the next cut!😆I make small parts on my mini-lathe for my business and I am an amateur. I hate when I'm like 80% done making a part, then make a mistake during the final cuts and having to start all over again! In Kurtis's case, it would be very expensive to make a mistake that ruins the piston when almost done making it. Clearly every newish machinist has a list of expensive parts they screwed up while trying to make it. Luckily my small parts are not much in material or time. Good job on the beautiful part, excellent filming and editing.
For me, the satisfying moments are when the seals are going on and everything fits perfectly. I do enjoy watching these videos you and Karen produce because it helps me truly appreciate all of the intricate machinery I’ll never see. Like that piston only you and the next guy will see. Thank you for letting us all see the beautiful details!
Kurtis is obviously expert at assembling tight fitting, almost inelastic seals in deep grooves. He makes it look easy but the noob should know it's very easy to mangle the sealing lip on a groove corner. DAMHIKT. Proceed wih care.
@@forrestaddy9644 yup for sure.. Watch the end bloopers and you'll see he understands as well lolol.. Good stuff
Just beautifully done!It's a pleasure to watch someone who knows their business.
Extremely impressive, as always, but this job was exceptionally satisfying as a viewer to be able to see the entire assembly come into the shop, be taken apart, and witness the raw carnage with our own eyes. All the separate remanufacturing processes culminated in a rare treat where we not only got to watch it all go back together into a complete and ready for use unit, but we actually got to see it function. It's one thing to know it turned out to be all the right sizes in all the right places, but it's quite another to get that visceral experience of watching it do the thing it does as an irrefutable confirmation of a job well done. Great video!
Gday Kurtis and Karen, the piston turned out perfect, there’s was quite a few features to machine in, I think the customer might be stripping more then just the cylinder valves looking at how much damage there was, have a great Easter and enjoy the long weekend mate, Cheers
Hey Matty yeah I reckon you're right mate and hope they give the system a good clean, glad you liked the finished result. We're looking forward to some family time over the Easter weekend hope yours is a good one too mate. Cheers Kurtis & Karen
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Доброго времени суток! Скажите, а почему вы не выставляете режимы резания, при которых стружколом гарантированно выполняет свою работу? Очень много кадров, в которых стружка вьётся и наматывается либо на патрон, либо на деталь, либо на инструмент. Я имею ввиду именно черновые режимы. Так-же, было бы интересно узнать, какой именно материал сейчас обрабатывали. Со стороны похоже на нержавейку, но стружка синеет, потому к нержавеющим сталям я заготовку отнести не могу. Но это и не углеродистая сталь, по звукам, которые говорят о большой нагрузке, материал похож на высоко легированную сталь. Возможно имеется термообработка до 30-32 HRC, но обычно термоулучшение делается после сверления. У нас в россии вышеперечисленными свойствами отличаются 30хгса, 40х13, х12мф и подобные легированные стали. Среди европейских материалов я немного не разбираюсь, потому очень интересно!
Always wondered how they looked inside the cylinder. Nice work, mate! I know the next guy will be impressed that you obviously took pride in your work! You're fast and exact too! Kudo's brother!
Clear, concise and well worth watching (ex Brit Army engineer, who worked on hydraulic buffers and recuperation systems in large artillery and Chieftain Tanks). Liked and subscribed.
Another work of art from Curtis And I am always impressed that you "just know" what seal part goes where!
I’m retired from industrial maintenance, and I am still amazed that managers still don’t realize that a good preventative maintenance program will pay for its self. But most managers have no idea of how to set one up, or how to keep one running. Instead they look at preventive maintenance as a nucince! They believe that preventive maintenance is when maintenance prevents you from running production.
I have been watching your videos for a while now, inspired me to buy my own lathe and start practicing, gets delivered at the end of next month, chip on precision machining bloke 👍🏼
Hell yeah mate good for you, what lathe did you get for yourself? 😎👊
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Colchester Master 2500, good size to learn on and nothing too expensive incase I break it, looking forward to it.
@@VxRussell quality lathe
Good on ya mate, hope that you get great enjoyment from using it, but, it is not a toy,it can hurt or worse still,so take care 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@VxRussell I will back up that comment about taking care around a lathe. If a drill press can scalp a person with long hair in seconds, a lathe can do a lot of damage to a person in seconds as well plus there is a lot more torque behind a lathe than a drill press. Standard Workshop Safety Rules apply plus always pull the chuck key out and pop it into a holder before you hit the go switch!
The level of execution and professionalism is amazing. Keep it on!
Great job! Makes me homesick for the machine shop! I always wondered how they expected to prevent this damage on these heavy long cylinders laying horizontal. Huge amounts of leverage on the piston at full stroke. A little wear and even more angle under full pressure, self feeding cycle it seems! Very professional and proud of your work! A true craftsman!
The voice over at 15:30 was a nice touch. Keep up the good work you 3!
thanks Karen made me do it 😂
Brilliant as always, well done Kurtis and Karen, Hello from Ireland 👍
Hey mate!
I appreciate your comments toward the end of settling on the grub screw method. Bad design, but good to make it serviceable for the next bloke. Great job Curtis, you are very talented.
Honestly, I like that you just speak freely and honestly without trying to talk to put yourself on a higher level, but I have a lot of honest respect that you are so damn proud of your work that you’ll spend your own money and time to get the job done to what you know is superior quality work, that’s how I was raised and how my uncle does it too. That’s nearly a forgotten thing anymore.
Have a good weekend!! A few hours left on my volvo 460 excavator and it's weekend here to and I drink 1 on you! Cheers mate 🍺 greetings from Holland.
Sounds good mate enjoy 😎👍🍻
Absolutely outstanding beautiful work guy. Can't believe how messed up that cylinder in that piston were man
Cheers mate!
I enjoy watching you do this and do it right without cutting corners. This will keep your customers coming back.
Totally hypnotised watching you work. Really skilled work. Congratulations all the best
I’m betting the “swear jar” was only half full before the the edge finder when into orbit😂 Nice work as always👍🏼
3000 rpm in reverse = underwear changing moment as it experienced instantaneous disassembly…
I wonder how many times a day they have to empty the jar?
I used to keep 5 or 6 edge finders in my box. I always managed to break them the dumbest way possible lol. Or just plain dumb luck
@@jenksify DAY? With a Jar that small, you should be asking how many times per HOUR they have to empty it... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
@@gunner4544 Nope... He wouldn't have needed to change his shorts because that thing would have come apart so fast, he wouldn't have had time to load his shorts... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
NICE! That's a major job - not a lot of shops can do all this I suspect.
Thanks for your honesty regarding edge finder
Simply amazing the skills and knowledge you've accumulated, Kurtis!
I have advised people to watch your videos to learn how it should be done. Your the best I have seen!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Dear Curtis, I am constantly impressed at how despite working with large chunks of steel that you take such care with the work and your tools by handling them gently. In another profession you would have made a great surgeon. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
A man who treats customers request and parts as though they were his own. A part thanks been dropped or dinged may need a face to be remachined or, horror, remade. Sorry for the banana dimensions, but a ounce of prevention save a a punt or two of work.
Thanks for showing your “mistakes” and explaining them. I’m learning a lot how machining works.
Thanks for the subtitles btw, it's always much appreciated by those using them :)

Only found this channel recently its fun keep it up, pretty sure it was recommended so im sure your growth will be great
hey mate welcome to the channel thanks for the support!
Your knowledge, technique, skill and precision are astonishing.
I love it, the way you say it as it is. Honest in every way. You should be proud of yourself for bring the way you are.
Very nicely done. Love watching the new seals go on. Hope you have a nice Easter :-)
Quality work young man and so is the video so top marks to all!
Thanks Jon have a good weekend
The outtakes are brilliant. So recognizable.
It’s so satisfying to watch someone who really takes pride in their work amd truly gives a fuck about quality, regardless of who is watching. Fantastic work CEE
Fantastic editing for the lathe scenes Karen loved the slow mo. Kurtis, I know you chose to make a profession from something you tinkered with in a garage. Do you ever look at what you make and say frek that looks good? I know I look at it and wish I could have that skill. 👍👍👍
hey mate thanks for saying so, it's definitely satisfying work and some days I do think that 🤣
What ! You will be starting a family over the weekend
Great to see people still doing what I'm now unable to do. Great work, nice workshop too
Krutis brilliant work ! Men in your trade always amaze me cheers
That hunk of metal must be Italian....”fra-gi-le”....🤣 All who gets that reference raise your hand...🙋♂️
You should see the courier drivers here in Australia, balls to the wall they going to get the delivery done ASAP 😂😂😂
I'd raise my hand but I shot my eye out last week.
Perfect, settling in for the night with one of the few channels I really look forward to. Homeless was in good form at the star of the video too, that dog is awesome
Haha cheers mate, glad it is enjoyed and Homey sure knows how to win all the fans
The skill of making the 2 holes join up perfectly at the middle is 👏 brilliant
Mate the rubber seal on the piston at the bloopers had me howling, I knew it happened even before I got to the bloopers, so when you started swearing at it I actually lost it. Top stuff man you're a machine
Love your work, top notch and efficiency I could only dream of. Confidence like that only comes from many years experience of doing it right (withy some ...R&D? in between I'm sure). Learning some very nifty tricks. 👌
thanks for watching mate
I love how massive steel blocks come wrapped in fragile stickers hahaaa. Great job as always Guy's.
Thanks to both of you and the not human crew..!
Always looking out for the next guy that has to tackle the job. A mark of a professional!
As someone who has 0 knowladge about the work you do it's really entertaining to watch either way.
Thanks for watching
Great tip on those threaded mandrels will start making them now.not only time savers they increase production and cut set up time exponentially and also leave plenty of room and avoid crashes.
Always amazed how you get the job done. You are a true artist
I am ever in awe of watching skilled and talented work being executed.
Another masterpiece, Kurtis. I am always impressed with your work! The final results are always stupendous. If I was your client, I would for certain, rest assured of the results. Hi Karen lol . Be well you three 👍🏻
Perfect editing on the outtakes. I love the back and forth to the swear jar... You guys are great. You do fantastic work and I hope you have a peaceful weekend and a Happy Easter.
Cheers mate glad that was enjoyed and you have a good Easter too 😎👍
Outstanding Job!! Your experience and expertise is self evident! Bravo!
Kurtis am amazed at how excellent your work is
Thanks for the video - very enjoyable! BTW - was anyone else amused by the steel blank for the piston being labelled as "fragile"???
lol a few viewers found that amusing
If you ever had couriers handle stuff that label is not much use, they are very likely to drop it, break it and lose it, and I have seen them take a block of steel like that and drive a forklift tine thorugh it. Even the cylinder and rod they can break them, unless you go really overkill and put them in a crate made from heavy planks, which delivery to Australia would snarl up in customs for a month, for fumigation, because it is "biological material", and has to be pathogen free.
Karen:"Let's get started" Kurtis: "Let's get chopping" That's teamwork!
😂😂😂 straight to the out-takes we approve
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Sometimes I go to the outtakes first...it shows the problems, difficulties and frustrations of working the metal and producing the video. Then...when I watch the video all the way through, I have a small inkling of what happened behind the scenes.
@@gearjamor Thats called reverse engineering..LOL
@@Ashley.0000 So true!
Nice work fella. takes me back to the 70s when i was metal working, thanks for the show.
