Machine Shop Tour (Inside an Australian Heavy Duty Workshop!)

Рет қаралды 2,223

Күн бұрын

Welcome to HAL Heavy Duty - a machine shop that specialises in the manufacture and repair of components for the Australian Drilling Industry.
In our first video Matt gives a quick overview of what we do, and a brief walkthrough of the facility. We have a bunch of lathes, mills - all dedicated to keeping rigs out working in the field.
Our current obsessive project is the construction of one of the worlds largest drill bits to ever hang off the back of a road registered drill rig - which is quite literally nuts... but insanely fun to try and make. So stay tuned to watch it all unfold over the next few months!

You and one of your fellow ‘Aussie’ channels (CEE) have one thing in common, the sheer enthusiasm and passion behind what you do. For a non machinist it brings a little known subject in my world to enjoyable light 👏👏👏

Thanks mate. I genuinely love what I do, and am eternally fascinated by it. Kurtis is a great guy with incredible knowledge of manual machining. One of the people I’ve called when I’m stuck. True pro and a great guy

"We make stuff so that they can't break stuff! " That sounds like a challenge for those 20 drill rig crews if you ask me! Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Very interesting…. At my workplace we have an awesome manual lathe which is a Colchester - I never knew they had cnc machines too

Nice! Yeah, the CNCs are brilliant. We were so impressed with the first one (Jean) that we got it’s bigger brother (Hal)… They actually have a mode that lets you switch them to manual mode as well. So you can use them like a normal lathe. Really really versatile.

a lot of money on display, CNCs aren't cheap, the tooling prices are astronomical, and the market for nice to haves has a billion toys to suck up cash. looks like you guys are doing it right though, may the chips fall your way.

It’s crazy how expensive they are. Agreed 100% brother. We chose to stick to mid range Taiwanese machines for that reason. They’re good heavy duty machines, but by no means top end. The Mazaks and DMG are literally twice the price… and we just can’t justify it. I’d love to have a DMG in the future with a turret & y axis milling for bigger runs of parts. Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it.
