First of a short series of videos about machining a 9 1/2" gearbox shaft. This shaft is very similar to my past Heavy Metal Machining series, so I try and give you guys some different angles, and information I may not have shown before.
In this video we get the ends centered, set up in the Pacemaker and begin roughing the shaft down.
I have some pretty nice 1/2" metal removal cuts getting the ends turned down.
The annotations of cut depth, feed rate, and RPM were a great addition - I'm sure it was a pain adding that to the video editing process. Your efforts are appreciated! I am learning a lot...
Yeah - it's made me start making a feeds table for my lathe ! So there's one already on it - but I'd never taken any notice of it ;) Now I've looked at it, I see the data is in 3-4 'different languages' - so I'm converting the data all into thous per spindle rev then will convert the finished table into metric values.

Love when you give the feeds/speeds/insert data in the video... nice touch. Glad you're able to give us more day-job video. Stay dry and safe.
Thank you for such informative videos. I've never run machines like that, and the sheer patience you exude while coaxing the final shapes out of cold hard steel is impressive.
It's so interesting watching you makes these parts and very relaxing to watch the mill/bits/etc take metal off. Love this channel so stoked I came across you guys. Cheers.
I love watching this stuff all day. Shows me what I WISH I was doing. Thank You !
Nice to see you videoing again at work. I see they woke up ! Thank you Adam.
A real joy watching somebody who knows what they're doin'. No idle chatter, no editorializing, just solid, useful information. Thank you, sir.
Yes certainly someone who uses inches with decimals knows what he's doing.
I was a lathe operator for several years. I have been retired for 8 years now and this sure brings back memories. Thanks to you and your boss.
Hey Adam, just wanted you to know that I enjoy and appreciate your videos. I am not a machinist, I have been in the plumbing/ HVAC trade for over 45 years. I learn a lot from watching you.Thank you.
Nice to watch someone that can visualize the finished part inside the raw stock, understands end-to-end runout (and how to manage it), and can properly add roughing allowances when working from both ends of the part. I got soooo tired of having to go out to the shop and hold someone's hand and instruct them step-by-step, or have to cross-examine them to figure out how they managed to make a crooked shaft or have one segment too short. Retirement is nice! P.S.: Love the Mighty Mag trick and wireless hoist control!
As an engineer who draws these parts I absolutely love watching a skilled craftsman make it. I learn a lot from it. It makes me think more about the possible problems a craftsman can encounter.
As an engineer who draws better parts than the guy above me I absolutely love watching a skilled craftsman make it. I learn a lot from it. It makes me realize that my drawings and designs are perfect to the point where the craftsman will not encounter any problems.
lmao
As the Toolmaker/machinist that has to make the parts the guys above me draw; it's my job to catch all their mistakes and make the parts correctly the first time under budget. Sometimes I even amaze myself.
@@johnbell1396 I wholeheartedly agree with you. It is however, part of our job to have to draw up assembly's with weldments, lathed and milled parts considering all other purchased parts, sensory etc. But I/we do consult the craftsman very often when we run into uncertainty.
@@johnbell1396 where I work, I both write up jobs including drawings and procedures or, when needed, I double check jobs created by others. I can tell you that making a job/drawing starting from scratch is A LOT different than just double checking it. At the end of the day, the company is profitable when everyone does their best at what they do. It's team work.
What a good professional and person you are! Thank for sharing your joy of being doing what you love with us!
Awesome! Pardon my dumbness, but it's simply amazing how you treat metal as if it was wood. Never seen such a beautiful thing!! Thank you for sharing!
Very enjoyable. Reminds me of helping out at my dad's factory when I was a teenager.
The care taken to make these videos is much appreciated, Awesome job
I have been in construction for 48 years, so I know the pressures of perfection, and may all of you who are not in these fields, the sweat and blood, is more than any one can imagine. Hats off to you guys who have the courage to start and finish. Their can never be any mistakes, mistakes that could shut down the entire operation. my admiration for you guys can only be appreciated By the gallons of sweat to the compared to the tears. Sounds off, but as my grandfather would say, “ I know nothing of what you do” “ but a blind ground squirrel picks up a nut, or two along the way” I thank you for taking the time out to show us.
The only thing I like better than machining, Is watching you machine always such smooth moves
Great camera angles and superb editing -- just the right amount of time on the various angles, and your smooth narration, you combine these in a straight forward & honest way that relaxes, educates, entertains.
deesine For real, anyone that’s ever tried to shoot in their shop/garage will realize that it takes a lot to get the lighting, angles, editing etc perfect, not to mention doing it safely and quickly 👏👏
The music that you use is so perfect to accentuate the beauty that you rend from rusty blanks. You are an artist Sir, your precision, your attention to detail and your innate understanding of the forces of nature are truly inspiring and... BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for allowing me to see the process, even if I don't understand the fine points.
I find it very easy to watch your videos. You are so well versed at what you do that it is easy for you to explain what you are doing. It’s so great to see someone who knows what they are doing like it’s 2nd nature. Great job!
I spent 5 years working at a scrapyard and seen many varieties of turnings come in barrels. To keep from feeling like a brain dead zombie running a a magnet through the turnings to separate the iron from the alloy I'd always look at the details of the turnings and put a story to how it came to be. From the variation in colors to the how smooth some of the edges were compared to how rough others were. Even like finding the longest fry from McDonald's there's finding the longest spiral from the machine shops. Now I get to see my stories unfold😆.
I do the same with pubes in public toilets
Dude, your skills are very impressive! I wish more kids would aspire to learn your trade and be like you!
A lot of precision goes into machining parts, I'm sure you take pleasure in the work you do. Great Job
I’ve been a mechanic 40+ years I enjoy working with my hands building things from wood metal stone ect. Watching you make a precision machine shaft was very interesting. I’ve dabbled with very small lathes in various shops the way you trued and centered the chucked end told me if your lathe doesn’t have this setup you can’t do precision work. Enjoyed watching someone with such talent great work!
A brilliant Video, loved it. My Dad did this for G.M for 34 years he was a toll maker and he was shit hot at Maths the things he made i still remember today. Brilliant Video - Ian u.k
Enjoyed that, brought back a ton of memories from the assorted lathes I ran at Dresser from 74-98. I bid off machines at the end and finished up as a Test Stand Inst. Mechanic my last 9 years. Miss cutting chips, but not holding half thou tolerances lol. You do your Dad proud, and no mistake!

Love watching your older videos. Thank you
Love watching that beautiful metal come to life from under that surface rust. Damn what a sight. Awesome work.
Huge amounts of respect for Machinist like you. As a Mechanical engineering student, watching your videos teaches me many things! Hats off to you sir!
whenever you have the chance also do your best to go in the machine shop and watch the guys work on your projects, also talk to them about points that can be improved (sometimes you can get really good feedback).
Always love the videos at your work, they never fail to entertain. I wish you luck with the incoming storm, stay safe.
Thank you so much for this video. I work at a milling/turning company in the Netherlands, we do mostly small precision work in the space and flight sector. Your videos are so humbling. the culture at my place of work is like the bigger the easier, i think your Channel proves the opposite. This one was the first of your videos i’ve seen, and you’re gained a sub! Keep up the amazing work!
I keep coming back to this set of videos cause of how awesome they are
Good centre lathe Turner , great job, nobody appreciates how the 4 jaw Chuck is our friend. Keep it up.
Very nice work Adam as always !!
Really good work. Reminds me of my machinist friends from my last job doing precisely this kind of work. I learned a lot from them and I'm always surprised how much I remember. Working with them has made me a better engineer.
I never get tired of watching you work, Abom.
That’s a nice chip 👍 I’m a (CNC) machinist. I dabble in manual machining (taught on a Southbend) & just bought a tiny hobby lathe. I like the dials & handles. You’re a specialist. I hope you charge for the special skill set. Keep up the vids. Good job on the wood toolbox tour as well. Reminded me of the old PBS docs & shows on Sundays.👍
Have a hard time to understand how people can't see the beauty in sculpting steel and iron as a mason does with stone. in the end the result is both beautiful to look at and useful. that is why i learned to become a machinist and now studying metallurgy and foundry processes to be able to develop the (Swedish) speciality steel industry. for the love of the art and craft of forming metal from foundry to a finished product. watching this is just like meditation. :D
Awesome to see your work I did the opportunity to be around thr machinist in shipyard when I were working at the hull repair and is awesome to see the shaft does come to you guys and you guys make become so shine and clean it give tears to my eyes sometimes.. and it's been 10 years that I dont work on the shipyard thank you all machinist to make my shipyard keep working and my boats floating
How refreshing to hear someone admit to a measuring (temporary!!) mistake!. Also very much enjoy your articulate commentary on what you are doing and why. Excellent! Many thanks.
Excellent work. Thanks for posting. Almost makes me want to go back and do it another 38 years... Nah, never mind.
I am an old machinist myself...thanks for the memories.. and for keeping the trade alive
Love you guys, you built the modern world for us. I have a book on the Saturn V Rocket, and it says in there that we couldn't build a Saturn V today due to the lack of extremely skilled machinists for key components like the Turbopump on the Rocketdyne F-1's. I'm sure youngsters can do it, but we need to pass these hard won skills on, who knows when we will need it again? The death of Apprenticeships and lack or work, for all the benefits of CNC the amazing skill of an individual to do it with eye and instruments to incredibly precise tolerances is amazing. Technology used to enhance skill, now it replaces it.
WOW, LOVE WATCHING PEOPLE WHO EXCELL AT THERE TRADE! Thank you for the knowledge.
I am, every now and then, running into these old videos. And I watch them to see an Old Master at work (yes, Mr. Abom79, you have crossed into the domain of Old Master - this from an Ancient Used To Be ;-). But what really touches my heart is the picture of the three generations with which you closed (still do?) All your movies. This shows respect to those who came before you, and reminds/teaches those that came after you that a middle aged master can produce excellent quality and that special wonderful beauty using tools conceived thousands of generations (lifetimes, really) ago, and built some 70-80 years ago. Such tools were built without any digital (or even electronics) circuit doing the measuring (or accuracy + quality assurance) for you. That all a man needs are some very basic tools and in a few iterations (generations) he can re-build our civilization from scratch. And these needed basic tools can be produced by anyone with the basic understanding of our tools and machines. Thus, our continued survival is assured with the basic understanding that God has given each of us. Now, I am not saying that we think this two-bits philosophy goes through our mind with every job we run. But we do, at times, think of these things, at least in part, every now and then. Thank you Adam, for reminding us who we are and what we are thankful for. [And I do the PIC thing & sign my real name] Simon
Well done! I have seen almost all your videos. Big fan! keep it up like most tips and tricks. and heavy machining videos
hello I'm a manual lathe operator I've tried to turn more like this Cement and iron steel factories have processed spare parts. I congratulate you. Hand work for using lathes
Hi good luck I have a job in my business I want to work in your company I use fine lathes and processing precision parts
Please thank your Boss for letting us into his shop.
I was going to say the exact same thing

Thanks guys. I had talked the boss before the last two projects I have shown and they give me the ok. They don't want me doing it daily, but saving it for the bigger projects, maybe once a month or so.
This is great channel. I myself am electronics technician but I really admire work of machinists in my firm.
Adam, We did our heavy turning between centers. This allowed for secondary work on the cylindrical grinder to run between centers. We acquired a G&L Endomatic in the mid 80's to prep our rough material. The G&L used self centering vises to establish an ind ensure varying material diameter was always centered on the machine. Mill heads rapidly simultaneously machined material to finished length. Center drills then simultaneously drilled center drilled holes on each shaft end. This machine eliminated all the lathe set up effort that your video process required. The G&L was fast to set up, repeatable and accurate. This was easy for the machinist to use, but this machine was among the most difficult machines for the maintenance mechanic (me) to level, align and keep mechanically true. Prior to the G&L purchase, we had to use similar lathe processes to your demonstration. The G&L was ideal for production work (our world), but proved just as effective for one-off work. Due to embracing Lean Manufacturing methods One Piece Flow required one-off production with SMED set up changes. About 2015 we upgraded our processes and considered replacing the early 80's CNC lathe and the old G&L with current CNC lathe with full milling functions and two spindles. This option could not out perform our G&L and standard CNC lathe cycle times, required larger shop footprint and much larger machinery investment costs. We purchased standard (older) lathe technology (although a brand new CNC machine) and rebuilt the old G&L. It is fun for me to see you still embracing older methods with older machinery. In my retirement I am moving from being the machine repairman to learning to do manual hobby machining in my basement shop. There are a handful of you KZheadrs that are my constant companions and instructors. You are a favorite. Keep the content coming. I like your transition to your own shop nearly as much as your Motion Industries days. I especially enjoy references to your father and granddad. I am currently training a bevy of grandsons and other boys into electricians. My boys followed me into the trades and now I am getting to shape the next generation into that direction. I wish for you that you could have sons that would accept the next generation mantle. I had 5 sons and now 13 grandsons that I get to help shape.

Anyone else find it super satisfying to watch that rust fly off with the chips to reveal a super shiny new metal underneath? Hell yeah. :D
+youtubasoarus I do!
Thanks for the reply brother! Awesome channel! Always a pleasure to watch those chips fly! :)
I fapped to that the entire time lol
youtubasoarus I have been a machinist for 47 years both cnc and manual. There is nothing like really removing metal fast with some serious horsepower
Yea, And the bright deep purple chips...Love the way they look.
Posted 2017 for my viewing pleasure here in May 2020 - The year of lockdown in South Africa. Thank you Abom79. I am an amateur carpenter and love all kinds of wood. But there is a world in weight to be said for this kind of metal work. Beautiful. Thanks!!!
I'm a jewelry Model Maker and just got recommended from Trenton and Heath! I work with machines on a much smaller scale! Your page is amazing!!!

Great video. Machinist are so under appreciated compared to other trades. Manual machinist are skilled craftsmen
I wish I had the skills these guys have! Such an art.
Some of us are but some of us are just too dumb to do anything else.
trades are under-appreciated in general compared to things like programming which adds hardly any real value to society outside of a few uses of it
Under appreciated by who? I am pretty sure that machinists make a ton more than the other trades.
mechanics are way more under appreciated then machinists
This reminded me of my experiences machining steam turbine shafts, up 35' long, in the 90's. Love watching your videos.
I really enjoy watching you adjust the 4 jaw. True artistry.
Nice throwback to the original gearbox shaft videos with the shaft-cam whilst craning :D I've never machined anything in my life, but your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch, and I've been through near every sns so far haha. You're a brilliant machinist, and you really seem to have all your ducks in a line! Keep it up, and stay safe during this insane weather you're having!
+Pictometry This one is very similar to the first one so I'm trying to give some different info and views from before.

Great video thanks. I've been selling steel for 30 years and never really saw the process like this.
Now I know why 4 speed transmissions are so heavy. Great video, thanks for sharing. Now, only engineers would think of centering the material before turning the product. Ain’t that metal beautiful! Wow! At 75 I am still learning.

That is so satisfying to see a professional at work.
I worked in an R&D shop for about ten years. I had to design, make, modify, assembly parts, and demonstrate the finished machine for customers. Very challenging work, but very satisfying when the customer was presented with exactly what they were wanting.
beautiful finish on that material. Top job as usual Adam. Thank you for sharing your talents. Dave from Australia
I've said it before, but I really like how you don't speed up or skip past too much on this channel. It's pretty therapeutic watching the cut happen in real time and watching the chips drop down
That gearbox sure sounds good. Nice vids you are doing. Thanks for keeping a trade alive. Old school. That's the way I learned. 30 years and finally disabled. Concrete and lifting too much finally took its toll .

Maravilloso trabajo,,, Hace muchas lunas yo era estorbante de TORNERO,, ((ES UN TRABAJO DE ARTESANOS.))
Even if im european and speak in metric, i allways look forward to watching your videos, theyre just satisfying to watch. Maybe its that smooth operator or that chip? i dont know. I wish you the best of luck, i know the news about the hurricane has been everywhere on the internet but i genuinely hope you make more videos in the future
I'm European (English to be exact), but I work in imperial.
It´s probably big toys for big boys. ;) I´m trying to learn the imperial system too. Although the agreement of international like technical things is metric I´m getting some customers still sending in blueprints or orders with imperial, since my cnc lathe speaks both it´s no problem I´m just not used to calculating stuff in imperial, kinda odd for someone who learned on metric but eh. I got to speaking english pretty well so I´ll get on speaking imperial aswell.
Da vid it's easier when you grew up in America and used imperial for your whole life. Just know that 25.4mm is an inch, 12 inches is a foot, 3 feet is a yard, 5280 feet is a mile. That's most of your conversions for distance.
And you will join the rest of the metric world someday for all the benefits there are.
YaksAttak, I know. It´s just more convenient to deal with all the numbers 1/4 inch is like 6.35mm and then you add tolerances in like thousands or tenths it just kinda gets out of hand and takes up more time converting than actually making the part. Even if I had CAD data from like Solid Works it would take me at least an hour to make up a blueprint that made sense to someone who´s only familiar with metric. Let´s say I´m just having this idea about moving to the US and start working and living there and someone walks into the shop and says "I need like a quarter inch diameter of steel one and some sixteenths long" and I just go and grab a calculator to figure out that stuff in metric. I just wanna go grab a piece of steel and hand it to them, like I can do with metric stuff. Also I wanna find out for myself which system is more convenient in ease of use, my experience is only based on metric which of course I´ll find easier to use just because that´s the only thing I´ve been using this far.
This is a fantastic video. Just great 👍 You didn't talk talk talk talk.. much appreciated 🙏 you let us watch and think !!. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and skills.. very very interesting Very enjoyable 😎
I miss the abom videos like this. Big projects for customers.
Seeing you adjusting the chuck to zero out the gauge is basically like watching someone do a rubiks cube. I can't see any pattern but you obviously can.
Tighten the highs, Loosen the lows. The indicator tells you everything. Rubik’s cubes are a lot harder
Summer Why would you would use a DTI to true black bar?? Pencil is all that’s required. Biggest job I turned weighed 20 tons and was 15 ft dia. Heavy machinist for too many years to mention. Oh and coolant would give much longer tool life although I see why you wouldn’t use it to video. Stay lucky!
@@kevinwalton4538 20 tons is nothing xD
Namrise haha exactly, here at Sheffield forgemasters we have the ability to cast over 500 tons in a single pour. The VBMs and lathes probably wouldn’t be able to handle that weight so it’s up to the millers to machine it. At the moment I’m working on a VBM with a 20ft diameter chuck and I can take 10mm DOC. I find it hilarious watching the small CNC machines running at 2000 rpm whilst I’m sat here spinning up to a maximum of 10.5 revs 😂
@@kevinwalton4538 a bit like the Coolent that is being used in this video ? Skip to the end mate !
Very few people can appreciate or enjoy the sound of chips being cut off a piece of material like we do.
I love watching your old videos. I have a Colchester Triumph 15" swing lathe. Built in 1964. Been fine tuning it and she is cutting a test bar within half a tenth. Remarkable so proud of the old girl!
Cutting to half of.0001 inch??!!!! 😮
This knowledge of working metals is much more important and useful than a college degree. I am amazed how you do all this. We need more people like you!
Well Honolulu, with no college degree, I can assure you, NEITHER the lathe, the round bar of steel NOR the 4140 Alloy would exist! Nor for that matter your computer or smart phone on which you are watching this video. It always pissed me off, when in 50 years of providing and operating industrial machines one bozo on our staff saw me with a wrench in my hand, and said- "About time you do some real work/" ... but we digress.
Adam, my Father had a business where he sold inserts to the auto companies in Detroit, I used to flip through the manuals but it never really grabbed my attention at the time. I watch your videos and it seems I understand how you lay it all out and it is fascinating. Thanks for the entertainment, it is really interesting to watch how these parts are made.
Adam is a really good teacher.
Wow! i'm used to seeing hobbyist machinists, but industrial shops don't mess around: .400" depth of cut is no joke
Exactly, and in Industry the vast majority of machinists will have mountains of work like this coming at them, all required asap, plus foremen and managers breathing down their necks...
i used to inspect very similar various parts .. watching the machining process is awesome
Craftsmanship and machining at its best!!! Respect!!!
First video of yours that I've seen, and it absolutely hypnotising! I'm curious though, isn't the heat bad for the tools? Quite surprised to see them smoking and the pretty purple / blue discolouration. Don't they want lubrication and cooling?
Adam. Another great video. But I worry about you . . . Pretty big storm coming your way. I know you are further up but even the panhandle will get some rough weather. Hunker down brother.
My area of the panhandle is not under a hurricane watch. Looks like Pensacola will be spared the worst of the storm.

Brings back memories. I am an older retired Air Force Machinist from 1969 on. Then worked in the Rolla Research Center for 27 years as a machinist. It never gets out of your blood. Still miss those days.
Nice work. We have an old 60's era Clausing Colchester we have just rebuilt. New turcite, rescraped the saddles, new ways, rebuilt the spindle and the transmission, even a fresh coat of paint. We got a new DRO with glass scales accurate to .0001" (so the box says) and a brand new set of tooling, down to a 4" heavy knurl. We chose to rebuild that machine versus a new one for one simple reason: quality. There is not a single weld anywhere on the machine. It is all solid gray iron casting. The base, the spindle box, it is all cast and solid as fuck.We're just getting setup for a 12" x 44" shaft for a giant hydraulic cylinder that operates a drawbridge. Should be fun! It has to go out for chrome once we get it all finished and hardened.
Awesome machine!
Magnificent!! Loved the piggy-back ride on the gearbox shaft as you rotated it, starting at 20:08 and stepping through, frame by frame to the remount at 20:58! Great view of the workshop layout, and of the old shaft?? at the far end of the lathe bed. Thank you Sir, John Greenwood
+Aristakas Yea I did that a few times before and the viewers really enjoyed it. 👍🏻
I really did not understand everything that my grandfather told me especially about tool and a dye until I started watching what you're doing a month ago. he was Tool & Die maker for 40 plus years AFTER World War II (He was a POW) reminds me so much of my grandfather and how unforgiving he was in how everything had to be just so I never understood Y until now!!!! Ty he was perfecuonist... NOW I get it.
Nice to get back to grassroots. Started my first job in a mechanical workshop, I miss those days. Thanks for sharing!
i saw the shaft, now i definitely want to see the gearbox :)
I'm just curious as to what the hell happened to the OLD shaft!

I only wonder as an amateur mechanic myself. I run a landscaping business, and save quite a lot of money servicing my own equipment. Mostly single cylinder engines. This year, I've had to replace one engine, and rebuild another due to employees not paying attention and running over things (like the bolts at the base of a lamp post, for instance), both of which resulted in a bent crankshaft. Fortunately, I had an engine from an older mower that needed too many parts to make relaible, but had the same engine (Fujikawa FJ180V Kai, which is apparently quite popular). And another with the same engine that had a broken connecting rod from which I was able to salvage the shaft. Not nearly as costly as it could have been.
Awesome video. Hey, i know you have mentioned in a few different videos about your dad selling some of the equipment to Motion, but maybe a good vlog topic would be to give us a full run down on the history of the machine shop and when and how it came about that he sold some of it to Motion and how you came to work there? Stay safe sir.
+Ramsey Customs - turbocobra Hey Gary, I have touched on that in a couple past videos. I think my intro to the shop video I talked about it, and I believe talked a little more in SNS 100. I'll have to go back and see. If not I'll plan it for a later video.
Right I have heard you mention it in a few videos, but don't think i have heard the full story, if you did i missed it. It's just a thought.
I would love to see a video on the full story, I know you've touched on it before but a dedicated video would be great. Thanks again.
