We are continuing the upgrades for our Kitchen & Walker Horizontal Facing Borer! Now we need to remove the column and fit the riser block to lift the column on the facing borer. After fitting the riser block we need to position the column back on the machine and fit the new bolts that we made in part 2. With projects and upgrades like this, it’s great when things go to plan!

CEE has really helped deepen my appreciation for machining, which was already pretty high. My dad was a world-class scientist. One thing most people don't appreciate is how critical are machinists to science. A lot of equipment for scientific experiments is custom, and that means a lot of it is made by machinists. My dad once ran a major scientific lab (occupying a fair amount of a large building), and it included metal shops, plastic shops, electronic shops, etc, and in his view, the machinists in these shops were the backbone of the effort. In fact, as a high school and college student, he'd worked in a small neighborhood machine shop himself, so he knew very well what these folks did. Without them, there's no science. I always had a general idea of what metal machining was about, the one big thing I didn't appreciate was the importance of welding as an additive process (as well as a way of joining parts together). I didn't understand that in some situations you can take a worn part, add back material through appropriate welding, then machine it back to standard. I think that's the single biggest thing that CEE has taught me, but all the videos are interesting and educational. These videos are a unique resources. Somewhere in the world, be in the Americas, in Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, there are young people watching the CEE team as an inspiration and model for careers of their own.

(Edit: Alignment question asked and answered below by others -in the next video!) In terms of not looking like it fits in, there's a philosophy of "if you can't hide it, embrace it" and I think a really nice contrasting bright paint job, just on the riser block, would actually look great.

Many years ago a furniture store opened in what had originally been built as a Tank Garage, under a block of flats. The old garage area was, as you may expect, not pretty with all sorts of service pipes coming down the various concrete pillars. The shop fitter's solution: paint all the bits they didn't want the public to notice bright red. It seemed to work far better than trying to hide things to my mind.

@CatNolara Жыл бұрын

Normally the bolts should hold the parts in place well enough, the dowel pins are just so you can fit the parts back together perfectly after taking apart. With the riser block it wouldn't be really possible to make new dowel pin holes accurate enough, usually those get finish machined after everything has been aligned. But I don't think you can accurately drill new holes without damaging the existing holes (with that I mean accidentally widen them so the dowl doesn't fit snuggly anymore).

@robertlevine2152 Жыл бұрын

The dowels, also called alignment pins, in my experience are a critical part of a machine. My experience is with ships. When aligning motors and pumps, and motors and fans when alignment was achieved, bolts, shims and alignment pins were always used to assure nothing moved. It is important to note that unlike Kurtis' shop, which is stationary, ships move and flex constantly. With that said, there is a reason the manufacturer fitted the dowels, or alignment pins. It would idea to follow the manufacturer's practice. Bob

As you removed the guiding bolts the whole machine won't be off like 2-3 mm, the bolts don't seem to fit very tight through holes... just wonder.

Lucky bastard! Not a single bolt rusted! Unbelievable! :)

Doesn´t the machine head needd to be precisely aligned with the table? The riser may be parallel but there was as far as i saw way too much play around the bolts to use them for rotational positioning, so the head probably won´t be square to the table. Before the riser this positioning was done with the big pins that were removed in the process

it definitely has to be realigned, no idea if it's possible to fit the dowel pins again though.

Is there some alignment between the spindel and the bed of the machine? If so, how do you realign without the pins?

@ElectricGears Жыл бұрын

You have to do the alignment manually. You install a long bar in the chuck and use an indicator to adjust it to run absolutely concentrically, just like when setting up a bar in the lathe. Then you sweep it with an indicator by traveling the table. Once the indicator no longer moves as the table is traversed, the headstock is aligned. Then you drill new holes for alignment pins. (You can't reuse the old ones unless you do some very complicated and difficult setups).

Curtis, you are an amazing and skillful technition. Your wife is really aware of what make a great videographer also.

Do you need to re-align the headstock to be square to the x and y table travel, now that you moved the headstock?

In my country there is an expression “straight arms”. So they say about people with a predisposition to engineering. You are the highest link among people. Cheers

Nice job but I would DEFINITELY paint the new riser block, easy to match the colour so it won’t look out of place. I always touch up my machines whenever a paint chip occurs, keeps the machines looking nice.

The breakdown is a lot of work. Rather sneeky thou since you have a video of all the disassembly- way to go Karen!!!!! Kurtis, your confidence in "picking that head off the machine, was awe inspiring. It was like you do it everyday.... WOW!! Well Done Team!!!!!
