In this video we are making mounting plates to go on a Caterpillar 631 Scraper Tractor. The mounting plates are to support the guide rollers of the back ejector door on the machine. We were lucky enough to be able to go to the customers yard and get inside a 631 scraper to show and explain where on the machine the parts go. For making these mounting plates we are using bis alloy 80 grade high tensile plate. We show the step by step process on the milling machine including face cutting, boring and drilling. We also use a rotary table and set the milling head to 45°degrees to cut some bevels before setting up the 90° degree head and horizontal attachment to cut slots in the plates. The parts are finished off with grinding and chamfering
In this video we are using:
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine

I really hate to think what a permanent career ending back injury would be like, so know that you have my full sympathy and thoughts for at least some sort of recovery. Do they give you the opportunity for hydro therapy in a pool of water so that you can relax and take some time out in a neutral buoyancy environment?

This is even nicer to watch than Clickspring... ;-) Big thanks for sharing your knowledge and showing your skills! I'll pass it through to my students Mechanical Engineering. They'll love it! If our workshop with the tiny machinery doesn't impress them enough, then it's nice to have some heavy duty backup over here. You just got a new subscriber ;-)

“Extremely sharp and terrifying tinsel!” - classic. Really enjoyed the on-site intro as well. It’s fun to get the scale of some of these machines. Shame you couldn’t tolerate a little bevel on the closing end corners and do the boring and beveling on a lathe. I have to say I was amazed how well that wonky 45 degree setup worked. :) Any particular reason you couldn’t just run an 8mm end-mill to make the slots? Slower I’d imagine, but with the changeover to horizontal and back, for four parts, one wonders.

@CuttingEdgeEngineering 2 жыл бұрын

hey mate thanks for watching good question. The stick out (flute length) of the end mill to cut slots is not as efficient

@JonDingle 2 жыл бұрын

Great work all around! I was hoping a nine inch angle grinder would have been used to do the bevels but l was out of luck. Homey has honed his parcel opening skills l see. Top regards from a cold but sunny England!

This is why you need to get your CNC up and running. At least 3/4 of the work you needed to do on these can be automated, allowing you to do other things. And if these are a common item for you, it just amplifies the reason you need it. Don't worry that you can't tilt the head on the CNC; a bull nose cutter head using round inserts will cut the weld prep bevels, as well as rough out the bores for the pins as well. These can be done completely in the CNC with the correct tooling, and with almost the same fixturing you just used.

@robertlewis4666 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah just great! CNC does everything...........but who programs the CNC? Personally I'd rather spend time actually machining that sitting in a stuffy office fart arsing around with a bloody computer!

Great to see the part on the machine before we start the machining process.Brilliant. Great video work. You could even hear the ping at 27:33 as the machining stresses suddenly released. Question please: How come the large diameter drill didn't try and walk as it exposed half its' diameter when drilling air in the clamp hole, especially as it was sharper on the one flute?

@markfryer9880 2 жыл бұрын

Because the drill bit is scared of what Kurtis would do to it if it wandered off course!
