We're turning a chunk of solid 4140 steel into a big nut for the EX1200 bucket cylinder rod. We are making the new nut to replace the one that was seized and gouged off the cylinder rod! In this video we show the step by step process of making the new cylinder nut. We are starting with a solid piece of 4140 steel bar. First we drill and bore out the centre of the material in the lathe. Then we cut the internal threads before finish turning the outer diameter. Next we use the super indexer in the milling machine for face cutting the nut into a hexagon before drilling and tapping a hole for the grub screw. We finish the job by machining the new threads onto the EX1200 cylinder rod to suit the big nut.
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
Missed the first video where we gouge the seized nut off to save the $20K cylinder rod?

It's good marketing, and potentially useful for record-tracking when so much work is "one off". But with most of the work then going out to be slathered in yellow (occasionally orange) paint ... anything much more delicate than writing "CEE" and a reference number (YYYY/MM/Invoice# or similar) with the welder is unlikely to be visible through 3 coats of yellow and 2 inches (bananas) of mud ...

FOr those who don't know: if you are wanting a precise hole position, or if you're drilling a deep hole with a spade drill, it's crucial to provide a close-fitting starting bore deep enough for the guide surfaces at the OD of the insert to be fully supported before the central chisel edge touches the work. For deep drilling, high pressure coolant is advisable, otherwise a drastic reduction in feed rate will be necessary, with multiple withdrawals to clear chips.

Great camera and editing to accompany equally great machining. You should suggest the customer use some anti-size paste on the threads to try and avoid another frozen joint. I started machining, if you could call it that, when my step father bought a primitive lathe, belt driven, without any scales on the cross side, some 65 years ago. It was needed for a home built amusement size railroad that wore out bronze bearings every season. Great fun for a teen age kid.

My Dad (if he were here to see it) would say “that’s really nicely done” He had an old South Bend 13 out back the barn where I grew up, taught me to how to turn and center a rod, and cut a 3/4 11 thread on it. I got tired and wanted to see the U.S.A. , so I drove truck here outta S Tx. for 28 yrs. He passed 32 yrs. Ago, now I’m retired and working on old Lathe , maybe I can pick up where I left off. Nice camera work; steady, sharp & clear and get right in there and show us how it’s done 👍.

nuts take a lot of abuse and are high wear, the massive surface area of the threads make them a hotbed for wear and tear and galling as well as corrosion, a weird shock can strip threads and cause other issues too... its not too surprising nuts and broken threads make up such a huge portion of the work done as they are typically the weakest point

Time is money. Leave an EX1200 stopped for a few days, and you might also need to stop a few trucks, all in all, you can lose upwards of 50K pretty quickly, just at the mining site. So paying the OEM rates becomes a smaller loss. When the mining companies have access to enough spares, it's a different story, then machinists have the time to replicate a part and avoid the convenience fee. Most OEM's don't see machining specialists as competition as strange as it might seem, often times they have to work hand-in-hand as the OEM 's will hire machinists to refurbish older units taken in trade.

Definitely worth making a second cup of coffee to see this done. Truly amazing! I wonder how many people in the world could do a job like this? Never seen the likes of doing something like this or realized it could even be done...BRAVO!!

Absolutely one of the very best regular KZfaq productions, period. I love watching each new video. What a team! And, i'm not in the metal trade.

Of all the things you do, cutting threads is the most intimidating for a non machinist like me. Would be shitting bricks every time I set us the lathe and started to cut threads on that giant piece of steel. Thanks for sharing and another great video. And the drill type comparisons would be very interesting.

In this video you can see how much quality can be and is the hallmark of everyone who approaches work with great passion and commitment worthy of the artistic end result, even such an ordinary nut can be a work of applied art, this brilliant approach to the subject results in reliability for many years of use of both machines and tools and, most importantly, what is created through them in the hands of above-average specialists of today.

Suggestion: instead of air disconnects, use hydraulic quick disconnects; such as you’d find on a tractor. The ISO 5675 ones aren’t too expensive and can be connected to the same coiled air line that you are using; however I would suggest getting the poppet-style ones as they flow better at lower pressures.

After 35 years in Ship Repair and Engineering (UK), I have seen alot of Machine Shop work, including multi tonne Shafts. I must admit, that was, done perfectly. You are are a highly skilled Craftsmen, no doubt about it. Well done.

Even though I'm a welder/fabricator and Industrial Mechanic by trade. I find CEE's videos very informative and interesting. A lot of his information, i find, is very useful in my trade. We have damaged shafts on our conveyors we send out to be built up and remachined for the specific pillow block bearing size up to 2-1/4". Sometimes the shaft, where the bearing sits, lasts for years. Other times the repair lasts for about 8 months and everyone blames it on improper installation or alignment. Well i actually found out,in this video, why it happens. His attention to detail is top notch, he explains things really well without boring you and in ways you understand it for someone like me and his finished product looks fantastic ! I find it really amazing that this is done, for the most part, manually and not on some $1,000.000.00 CNC Machine and in such a short time! This man, and others like him, are MONEY for their skill and production level !

I personally managed machining and fabricating suppliers all around the world for a Forbes 100 company, I have seen good shops and bad shops, and many in between. You’re a good shop. Your approach to repair is excellent. Hope that you grow your business well. The fact that you know about why to not attempt weld repair on stressed threaded components says a lot about your business. Great job

OK, saw the uncut Patreon version yesterday, but you can't get enough CEE vids 👍 You can tell it is a big drill when Kurtis puts his hand in the hole it has just drilled 🕳 😂 No pilot hole - that must save some time. All the best, Paul

Made a nut like that once. Nut had to be cut off, tie bar was ok but not removed. Had to measure male threads with wires, make a male , then fit the new nut to the male. Mechanics were impressed about the fit and finish.

Isn't it strange that we watch each other work in our spare time? I change big rig truck tires and fluid filled farm tires. I enjoy watching about the drills and tools used to work in mammoth cylinders. This is my second video watching and I am hooked already!
