As someone who works in aerospace, it's great to see something that really shows what the majority of small shop work is like. Older machines, really sound techniques, great results. I will say that as someone who left the industry for a decade, and then returned, outside of the almost universal switch to inserts for turning, one of the biggest quality of life improvements I noticed when I came back was in the quality of the new generations of synthetic coolants. Long lasting, no rotting eggs smell when the bacteria builds up, easy to clean. And much less smell overall.

The shaft is welded to both the worm and the boss and the boss is welded to both the shaft and the worm we do this to add strength to the shaft

idk man, doing all that work on manual when you have a cnc machine.. Chamfering that nut on manual, that was cringe. As was that prep work, cutting to a OD before cnc lathe. lmao
@SterlingNorthernАй бұрын
Thank you for your comment. We perform pre-operations manually for two reasons. Firstly, billets come in various sizes, so instead of adjusting the CNC program for each one, we turn them to a uniform size, which also helps preserve CNC tool life as it doesn't have to remove the harder outer layer. Secondly, we run this job across multiple machines simultaneously (where op 1 occurs at the same time as ops 2, 3, 4, etc.). Regarding the nut, I agree with your point about multiple operations, but we're currently limited to a one-tool machine due to a turret issue on the CNC lathe assigned to this job. I hope this explanation clarifies things.

@philnorman9425Ай бұрын
@@SterlingNorthern I understand your situation. The 'just-in-time' ordering mentality does no one any favours. This may be a good time to establish a relationship with a forge, even if it's a long way away. Those number of forgings would take 1-2 days to make saving the engineer time and money, as well as giving much needed work to a forge. It also helps the industry to think holistically, if the forge goes, then, when you really need it, it's not there, so you have to look far and wide to get the job done. Currently in Australia we are down to one heavy forge and a handful of general blacksmiths. The one remaining Trade school is mainly catering to hobbyists and trying to survive. Once the training goes it's all over. Once it's all over we will have to import our forgings from India or China at great expense. We must not succumb to short-sightedness. And always remember the Production Managers old saying "A lack of foresight in ordering on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

I've no clue if it's been an issue for your shop, or even if it ever will, but the amount of material wasted in each of these bolts really grabbed me. Have you considered some sort of trepanning step for removing the ~⅔ of those billets you're currently having to rough (potentially saving you on tool wear and materials costs)? I dunno, this just seems like a lot of work to put into what's ultimately swarf on the floor...
@SterlingNorthern2 ай бұрын
We wholeheartedly agree that it's unfortunate to waste such a significant amount of material. We've extensively explored our options, considering the immense challenge of moving all that swarf. However, we've encountered difficulties with trepanning due to the diameter and length of the shank. Initially, we considered welding a billet onto a shaft and machining it down, but dismissed this idea due to potential strength loss, especially considering the extreme pressure these bolts endure. If you're aware of any specific tooling or alternative methods, we're eager to hear your suggestions 😃
@mehmettemel87252 ай бұрын
@@SterlingNorthern I agree it's not worth to compromise especially replacing an originally forged part.It would have been a different story if the T end was much larger in diameter.I have a machine shop and noticed our similarities in prep before cnc machining especially when there is no hydraulic steady to do all the prep.
@NightsReign2 ай бұрын
@@SterlingNorthern After posting my comment, I spent an inordinate amount of time dwelling on this topic, trying to brainstorm options on this. And your point about trepanning being nigh impossible at that depth kept tripping me up... Various thoughts came up and were subsequently dismissed since they introduced new points of failure. Like, sawing/grinding off the excess material prior to the turning operations for instance. The only one that seemed to hold a glimmer of promise (in my mind) was some form of wire EDM processing, but that's an entirely new kettle of fish, and I imagine quite cost-prohibitive...
