It would’ve been nice if you would’ve told us how big it was.

I had to go double check the hole size that the drill will be drilling. 3m diameter by 250mm deep ( 0:55 ). Is that actually a footing for something? At 250mm deep it's barely what I'd call a hole. I checked the description and the description says 250m which IS a hole.

Brilliant problem solving safely ❤❤❤on the job. Should be part of education worldwide #MHLivingHistoryLeapyear2024

4mm pitch?

Excellent vid bro

Would have liked to see you gauge it......

OK, who else had the Pink Panther theme music start playing in their mind at 5:18 ? damnit *>_<*

Channelling Crocodile Dundee? That's not a thread, this is a thread

you could probably slow the rpms down in the threading 20%, chip might break faster

What is TPI and TPF? Is profile similar to API Regular or Int. Flush? I've cut more than a few (hundred) tubing and casing threads, and many of the Spec 7 (API) tool joints, and there are casing buttresses that are quite a bit bigger, but I think you've got the world beat in tool joints. I'm curious what you're doing about gaging?

I assume that gets welded to something?

Very nice! I still use a lot of top notch style tools.

I like your videos but PLEASE: stop with the quick cuts, and stop waving the camera like you're trying to swat flies with it. Those camera moves are OK when the content is boring so the camera operator tries to create drama by moving the camera. Your content is fascinating, please let us enjoy it without all the camera movement.

Always a good rule of thumb to bring your hand or some similar into the shot to scale size of the stock

Lovely video

You make excellent videos.

Internal grooving, "peck cycle" in your program, will help break chips. Usually there is a parameter for depth of cut per peck.

what loads are calculated for drill string using this coupler -compression and tension?

Love that Kong boring bar..........

Ah yes, the forbidden pink lemonade 👌🏻

HTS drills always make that same loud sound. When the drill is silent, that means the drill is jamming up with chips. Clamping a steady rest on the drill shank with plastic pads, can help with vibration.

loving this, cheers from the other Sunshine State, Florida USA...Paulie

Lower the RPM and adjust the feed rate until the tool stops chattering.

You should make a shorter arm for your indicator when measuring the runout, and thread it in the senter off the bolt in the chuch. The long arm and the magnet can give you a false reading when handing upside down

Hi from the expat Aussie in the UK, Great video.

Put about 5 to 10 heavy duty rubber bands down the shank of the drill.

Always nice to see someone working outside of the box. I have some customers that could use this technique to help their process. Cheers!

We love watching a big drill. So 900 rpm, but what feed rate please?

Hay mate love the channel we do a fair bit of vig stuff with plenty of groves looks good from here all we do is a 4mm peck on the X leaving a .2 finish cut running along the Y axis.Cheers from Tasmania

Awesome. Subscribed.

We ran the 2 insert style U drill, some up to 3 1/2” diameter.

Used to run the big U drill that you show at the end, daily on 42-48 Rockwell stock! Made many chips with them drills. Done most of it on an old WWII turret lathe, some on a Mori Seiki SL-65.

You could up the feedrate a little!

As a 40 year retired machinist, I still love to see metal hogged!

smartest guy i've known in my 71 years, machine design engineer. had a beautiful machine shop, older equipment but extremely organized. he always used vacuums to clean his chips as opposed to an air nozzle. each machine had a vacuum handy. makes sense as you have to clean up what you blow off anyway.

Wow u can spin indicators upside down in australia?

Hi again. The guy below uses Seco and that is the company I worked for for 28 odd years. The grooving tools he is refering too are one of the best on the maket. However to get chip contol maybe put a pause in the program every few seconds and mechanically break the chip? Cheers Ian, New Zealand

Hi from across the Tasman. Great tool and it looks like it works well. I am now retired but served my time as a fitter and turner and after a few years ended up working for Seco Tools here for the last 28 odd years. My experience with insert drills and Seco made a quality tool that operated well but you needed good coolant pressure to help get the chip out and I thinks you need to look at redirecting the coolant port so it assists with this. Otherwise it works well. Drilling with insert drills is certainly "heart in the mouth" operations as when it goes wrong it all over very quickly. Cheers and great videos. Ian

thanks for sharing the details of your operations, I'm in the process of learning how to run an older (mid 90's) Nakamura turret lathe with a 12" hydraulic chuck and soft jaws.

If you're looking to upgrade to a Large-Bore lathe that is really suited for your industry for that next part coming in- look into the Mazak SLANT-TURN series. I think John Hart is the Australian dealer for Mazak

"My only goal... is to either be learning or sharing what I've learned, there's no ego here" A (very slight) paraphrasing I grant you, but those words alone got you a like and a sub and are awesome words to keep in mind through life in general.

Subscribe and BIG like from Al, a lifelong Tool & Die and Machinist guy from Vancouver Canada, good job and great video, keep it up brother

OMG you ground up the pink panther 🎉

No ego, love it! We all work differently for the same goal. WWG1WGA 🇺🇸 WWG1WGA 🇺🇸

Absolutely lovely! MACHINIST FOR TRUMP WWG1WGA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Living in the 85% max is the place to be. Run everything at 110% and yeah you’ll get stuff done faster but that one time the tool gives up the ghost you lose all that time/money saving.

Great bit of girth on that. 😉 excellent stuff there. Love an efficient process that just works. I’m sure there’s a high pucker factor to that though.

I might need to talk to my tool coordinator and get me one. Do the make a 3inch diameter version? We drill big holes usally 14 to 25 inches deep.

Would EDM yield a larger slug with value to cover the cost of a third party doing the first process?

Thank god someone else uses ez guide i/manual guide i! Fot that tool start ez guide does have a “tool process start” canned cycle with graphic interface
