Hey viewers sorry for the late upload today we had a CZcams glitch but it's worth the wait! There is a lot happening in this video. During the job we can't spend too much time explaining every step, so just drop any questions you've got in the comments. How much does it cost? A new rod is about $6800 and we do the repair for less than a quarter of that 😎👍 And next time I will get it in one take for sure! 😂 Subscribe and hit the bell icon to turn on notifications so you don't miss our weekly uploads. 👇 🤳 Follow us online here: Instagram instagram.com/cutting_edge_engineering Facebook facebook.com/cuttingedgeengineeringaustralia/
Curtis, I know you get frustrated with the filming but I think your channel is really going to take off. Keep the vids coming, love the channel. Thanks for sharing.!!
Nothing more satisfying than to watch a Professional doing his job. You sir, have an incredible amount of skills and knowledge. Not to forget, nice shot an edited video, as always!
I know zero about lathes, milling machines etc but I love watching the process of fixing such heavy duty stuff and you make it look easy because of your great skill set. As always the bloopers are hilarious.
I was pretty impressed with the runout on that shaft - until you showed the other end. That right there shows machining a new rod was the right call. Loved the slo-mo into the bin too.
Ah 65and still being schooled in something I just took for granted...you are one hard worker,teacher,family man.love the banter between photographer and the subject...send more projects ..ill never tire of this channel..
Thanks for sharing in the description the factory replacement cost for this type of part. Your ability to refurbish back to OEM specs at a cost saving while likely still being able to provide a quicker turnaround time than shipping is a benefit for your business. Your attention to the details will serve your business well. Love the outtakes with your wife’s infectious laugh. Give the safety officer a belly rub for me and stay well.
i agree with you and i definitely wish Kurtis, Karen, & Safety Officer Homey the absolute best for themselves and their business as well, & with some of the new equipment, the stratosphere is the limit for their business
The filming and editing are as good as the machining. To bad regular TV production was never this well done. No drama no nonsense just interesting content, and a little safety officer thrown in.
I could have watched the video a few hours ago but preferred to wait for an evening in Canada to relax after dinner - I knew it was going to be a celebration.
Hey man. I have been a metal machinist for many years in few countries and I am learning from you :-) Mate even if I will not use the new knowledge - I am a bit old - it is a pure pleasure to watch your work. Yes you are good professional and you are presenting all the proper habits in our profession for the younger crowd. Thanks for that.
Loved seeing the milling machine doing the boring. You do a fantastic job explaining what's going on. And thanks again to your wife for the outstanding videography and editing. She does manage to make you look so composed when you do your introductions.
Having the lathe with a large bore throat like yours is a real blessing for sure. I am really impressed with having so much stock on hand. Being where you are it must be a small fortune tied up sitting on a shelf. I never had the fortune to have had a DRO on any of my machines. They sure make life a bunch easier for sure. Thanks a bunch Kurtis. Another sweet and shiny recovery and execution on a piece of junk eh ! Take care bud. Keep em coming.
Hey mate! Great to read your comment. Yeah it's a 125mm spindle bore would love the bigger brother with a 230mm bore some day! Thanks for always watching and supporting over there mate. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 230, Wow. That would be a beast of a lathe eh. How is that new long unit working out for you. It would be great to see a job being done on it.
Way back in 1979 i started my work career as an apprentice Jig Borer.. and we had to hand sharpen all our cutting tools. Those modern cutting inserts are amazing, we would never have been able to cut any of that hardened steel back then... Hello from the UK.
I’m in awe of your talent. Another great episode. Shout out to who does the editing, great camera work love the slo-mo action, knowing when to speed up add music, inserting definitions of what’s being done etc. then the bloopers at the end, perfect.
So CZcams brought me to your channel, and after watching a handful of videos I've gone back and started watching them all. You do good work, a lot of this is truly beautiful to see and learn from. Thanks for showing us! Cheers from the US Midwest.
Incredible work!!!!! You have some serious skills! I loved the slow motion part where you threw out the old cylinder rod. Great video and I know that your customer will be happy!!!
Hi Kurtis, love your videos. It's nice to see a true craftsman at work. You take great pride in a job well done. I'm sure the safety officer has a great part in that as well. Keep the videos coming. Paul
Really enjoy watching you, very skillfully, make the repairs you do and you do very high quality work. Thanks for taking the time to show how it’s done in Australia. When you get down to it machining is machining throughout the world, some, like you, are very talented with excellent ideas on how to get the job done. Thanks again. From Missouri, USA
Dang dude, you are great at free handing that mig! Don't know anyone that could keep beads that straight and tight! What enjoy about your channel is never gets boring🤔😉😆
Awesome video production/repair...as a fan of the channel it would be great to have an “interview” of Kurtis...education, work experience,business start up,introduction of his wife/partner...etc
I'm glad to have found this channel. I'm a machinist and gunsmith in the states so I work on a much smaller scale but love to see metal removal either way. Keep up the great work!
Gotta love it when the material is on the shelf before the job arrives, looked like a nice straightforward job this time Kurtis. Better than a rush job on Friday and getting dodgy materials supplied by the customer anyway.
Hey, I noticed that often times you seem to be working at night. Is it just because it's a rush job or perhaps to avoid heat or something. Really like the videos.
so who is the lady behind the scenes we get to hear her and her reactions in every video she needs a spotlight her camera skills are spot on! thankyou for the videos i have enjoyed every one keep up the great entertainment!!
I enjoy this channel as I am a retired ME. And all those metallurgist can take a flying leap as I have known many and they never agree with each other.
Hey Stu hahaaa yeah I think that was the most outtakes for 1 video so far 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely send us your sticker mate! Mailing address is on here: www.cuttingedgeengineering.com.au/contact-cutting-edge-engineering-australia.html
New subscriber, but I’ve watched several of your videos for a while now. I’m not a machinist, fabricator or anything of the sort. But, despite not having any knowledge or ability to truly understand all the intricacies of your trade, I easily can sit back and enjoy watch the project at hand. Kurtis, you do a great job of explaining what you’re doing to a dipshit like me and the “cameraman” I think your Mrs. (if I got that wrong, I apologize if I got that wrong) does a fantastic job. Thanks for the videos.
Love watching every one of your videos. What you do in repairing cylinders and knowledge in using the machines in your shop is a dyeing art. Your work is true craftsmanship.
Ha Four legged Security Manager (lol) doing his bit at the end to make sure the shipping documents and quantities matched the invoice I see. No stealing scrap on his watch! But the squeaky toy bill must be eating into the profit margin some. Great work as always. I like the attention to detail when dressing the weld. Shim stock to shield chrome. Well done sir.
hahaaa yeah he was definitely doing some quality control there! He's been getting a lot of bonuses lately, all the screen time and views he brings in we thought he deserved it haha 😎👍
I love watching your videos. It's amazing to watch you work. I love to watch and listen to what you say. Nothing funny, no joking. Very much to the point and you share your reasoning for doing things. But, BEST OF ALL are the outtakes at the end of some showing your serious manner and bantering with the person filming. The combination of what you are doing and your personality make these videos pure entertainment. Love the dog.
I now relish Fridays! My wife asked, "It's Friday, are you going to be spending an our on the Gold Coast again?" Yep! Man those button inserts do move the metal, don't they? Great job as always.
Hey mate! Got to love technology can visit anywhere in the world. Yeah the button inserts are great for digging in and roughing cuts. Cheers Bruce myself and my missus enjoy reading your comments! 😎👍
Video turned up here in NZ just after 9pm and it was worth the wait! Not that I expected anything less! Good job Mr and Mrs Kurtis and Homie! One question - how many people are working at CEE? Is it just you three?
Can I make a suggestion, for the one take challenge, keep it simple, how about "it's off a bloody big machine, gets used a lot and this ones buggered. The customer is a impatient, tight arse, so we're going to fix it a day for less than the cost a new one" As always you skills make an awkward job look easy.
Another great video. The delay is worth the wait. Very enjoyable and done in almost a documentary style, less talk gives the viewer a good understanding of what is going on. I see the boss got a new bonus for his(her) work.
Thanks for watching mate yeah I prefer less talking as you can tell from the outtakes i'm not the greatest at it on camera hahaa Safety officer boss definitely a he, can't miss the set of nuts on him if he turns around 😂
Always look forward to your videos, it’s a great way to end off the week. Would the old rod be ok for any DIY projects at home? Would that be something you’d consider selling?
Hey mate thanks for always supporting the vids! Would probably be alright for DIY home projects, we scrap it for quality control reasons could have fracturing through the chrome along with the other damage but for shits and giggles would be alright. Shoot us an email will see what we can do 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringI was asking, as my son makes ride on trains (5” gauge) and if we could machine the wheels and other parts rather than pay someone, it would help. Thank you, will email you one day soon. Cheers.
Kurtis, mate you are so professional. Love your work and the music is just right. Not over powering not too long just right. Sort of calming whilst watching. keep it up mate cheers Nick
I know very little about engineering, I'm sitting here in England watching you do what you do. It's awsome, mate you are an artist, and your doggie is lovely too.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Then will come the rush to install it in time to work on a job, with no time to enjoy the installation or the breaking in of the new lathe.
Your awesome videos inspired me to finish acquiring my machine shop stuff and I’ve got a lathe and mill now to accompany my welding machines. Cheers from Ohio 👍
So how do you prevent a bow occurring in that shaft when you're doing a heavy, mid-point weld like that ? I'd think you'd end up with deflection at some point during the welding process.
Здравствуйте! Подписался, и теперь регулярно смотрю вашу работу. Может вы покажете того, кто всё это снимает, и смеётся над вами, когда вам не удаётся завершить фразу?
Hey mate there isn't anyone else that works here, do work some long hours when it's your own business but prefer night time as no interruptions, cooler and can be a lot more time efficient
Stumbled across your channel and i'm amazed as a midwest farmer in the US my patches and break downs show up in a shop like yours. When i show up it's what the .... did you do now that i need to undo and fix. You should put your videographer and director on camera too. The out takes are great.
Hi, I'm very happy to see and monitor your good activities on CZcams. I both learn and enjoy. Because I am an electrical engineer, I think the main triangle of the main motor's star timer lathe is a bit high and the second multiplication of the motor is done with a long delay. And this can be harmful. Thank you for all your activities, keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more videos from you
I enjoy watching these videos very much it’s my senior year in high school and I plan on becoming a fabricator these videos are very helpful on expanding what I know about fabrication and of the process that y’all use. Thank you very much your videos are addicting to watch.
Back when I was laying a lot of bead, we'd peen the hell out of new weld, or use needle guns to take the stress out of the weld while it was still hot. I'm guessing induction hardened 4140 might be a bit less prone to stress deflection, but there must be some issue with displacement sometimes.
Hey mate yeah on larger dia rods when heat is sucked out quicker we do use the needle scaler to avoid stress fractures. This sort of job it's not necessary
Interesting to see how far you have advanced in your on camera work. I started watching a few months ago and going back through your inventory of vids has bee greatly entertaining. Definitely an advantage having a camera person. I work with a tripod or ceiling mounted camera. You're ability to move and change the shot is a big improvement over fixed shots. 😁😎
Hi buddy. Friday mornings wouldn't be the same here in Ireland without watching another job being well done . Your doing the work of 2 men there .... have you ever considered getting an apprentice to help with work ? Teach him your ways of working. I know apprentices can sometimes be a pain in the butt but we were all there . A good fella would lighten the load for you.
Hey mate! Thanks for watching over there glad you enjoyed it. Yeah apprentices need too much babysitting at first so really wouldn't be worth it just yet, we would probably look for someone with a few good years and skills behind them first
Really liked this video, I do some part time machining (amateur but I have a arrow vmc and a sodick wire amongst other "home" shop kit) and was looking for a competent rework to show someone who'd been told it wasn't possible, and watched it to the end. Great that you added the bloopers, and you showed the ones where you dropped the insert screw in the swarf and had to hunt it out, the sliding hook of the tape fell off the end of the shaft a few times checking the length etc. Because I've done both those so many bloody times too. Keep up the good work!
Nailed it !!!!! Everything but the 1st. take... but it was worth it... Thanks bunches.... 4 legged forman looks happy.... Camera work was great as usual...
Your skills and knowledge are so impressive, and I love watching your videos. I used to work construction, but I've been a computer systems administrator for decades now. I'm sick of sitting in front of a keyboard all the time. I like to fix stuff with my hands, and your job requires plenty of brains, skill and competence. Well done sir. I salute you. (Utah, USA)
Your outtakes are interesting and glad you include them. It shows the real issues with videoing most anything. The dog video inserts are also great. But your abilities in machining and turning are the best. Thumbs Up!

Cheers mate! Thanks for the great comment 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering and Kurtis isn’t too bad either 😉🤣😂 has the professional destroyed his new toy yet?

Hey mate glad you enjoy it! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment
At the most basic: Lathes spin the work against the tool, milling machines spin the tool against the work.
I was pretty impressed with the runout on that shaft - until you showed the other end. That right there shows machining a new rod was the right call. Loved the slo-mo into the bin too.
yeah it seemed alright at first, 10 seconds later, oh never mind haha
Slo-Mo into the bin. Thanks for your service, Rod. You will be missed.
I love the feeling when your get a jobs length right to 0.001mm, ahhh best feeling
Satisfaction on point 😎👌

Awesome as always. Special thanks to the camera Lady for awesome camera shots and thanks to you for all the work you do!!!
Cheers Greg we are both glad you enjoy the vids!
Thanks for sharing in the description the factory replacement cost for this type of part. Your ability to refurbish back to OEM specs at a cost saving while likely still being able to provide a quicker turnaround time than shipping is a benefit for your business.

Hey mate thanks for waiting for the vid! Enjoy the coffee and machining action 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering You maybe should consider to rename your company into "Emergency Heavy Machine Repair Australia"
@@dermozart80 No that will be the name of the TV show.

It's awsome, mate you are an artist, and your doggie is lovely too.
Another great rebuild. When does the "new" lathe get installed?
Soon! It's been on the back burner haven't needed it yet but will probably need it in a hurry and regret leaving it sitting there 😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Then will come the rush to install it in time to work on a job, with no time to enjoy the installation or the breaking in of the new lathe.
Is it just you in that big shop?
Your awesome videos inspired me to finish acquiring my machine shop stuff and I’ve got a lathe and mill now to accompany my welding machines. Cheers from Ohio 👍
So how do you prevent a bow occurring in that shaft when you're doing a heavy, mid-point weld like that ? I'd think you'd end up with deflection at some point during the welding process.
Hey mate the spigot being pressed fit keeps it aligned and welding with alternate start stop positions to avoid heat pulling the material. 😎👍
Don't think we've forgotten about your promise of a video showcasing that needs massive lathe you bought! Lol. Great video as always
Hahaa viewers won't let me forget! Nah the big girl hasn't had anything done to her yet haven't needed it so been on the back burner
Здравствуйте! Подписался, и теперь регулярно смотрю вашу работу. Может вы покажете того, кто всё это снимает, и смеётся над вами, когда вам не удаётся завершить фразу?
Привет, дружище, спасибо за подписку и просмотр! Она пока остается за камерой 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Говорите по-русски или через переводчик?) Я тоже подписан.
Thank you Kurtis, Giggler and The Woof.
Welcome mate thanks for watching
Spot on, would it be any different
The world needs more young people that have skills like yours
Hey man, do you work after hours when you make these videos? I never see anybody else in the shop.
Hey mate there isn't anyone else that works here, do work some long hours when it's your own business but prefer night time as no interruptions, cooler and can be a lot more time efficient
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering you are a one man shop? Wow. Impressive.
Stumbled across your channel and i'm amazed as a midwest farmer in the US my patches and break downs show up in a shop like yours. When i show up it's what the .... did you do now that i need to undo and fix.
You should put your videographer and director on camera too. The out takes are great.
Ho yeah, a new episode in my favorite ASMR series.
Cheers mate hope you enjoyed it!
Hi, I'm very happy to see and monitor your good activities on CZcams. I both learn and enjoy. Because I am an electrical engineer, I think the main triangle of the main motor's star timer lathe is a bit high and the second multiplication of the motor is done with a long delay. And this can be harmful. Thank you for all your activities, keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more videos from you
perfect work, always makes my bum twitch when you use a parting tool between centers :)
Always good to give the viewers some pucker factor 🤣
That was bloody fascinating. So many different techniques,processes and tooling changes. To be so accurate after all that work and welding 👏👏👏👏.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching mate 😎👍
Is it wrong I want to skip to the end, have a laugh then watch it from the start?
That's what I do hahaa
Well done as always....Cheeeeers Mr Safety officer,Karen and Kurtis.....
Putting the dial on the back end of the rod, fkin pissa "Quite a lot of runout" he says.
30:36 Is that the express delivery option in the background?
Yeah was a little bit bent 😂 Nah that's for the smoko lunch runs!
No just kurtyis's run about
It's Kurtis's SkyLux, only available Down Undah
I enjoy watching these videos very much it’s my senior year in high school and I plan on becoming a fabricator these videos are very helpful on expanding what I know about fabrication and of the process that y’all use. Thank you very much your videos are addicting to watch.
Hey mate good stuff! Glad you enjoy the vids and can get something out of them. All the best 😎👍
Back when I was laying a lot of bead, we'd peen the hell out of new weld, or use needle guns to take the stress out of the weld while it was still hot. I'm guessing induction hardened 4140 might be a bit less prone to stress deflection, but there must be some issue with displacement sometimes.
Hey mate yeah on larger dia rods when heat is sucked out quicker we do use the needle scaler to avoid stress fractures. This sort of job it's not necessary
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Even the comment has an Australian accent. :) cheers
Just an amateur but find your work fascinating always looking forward to the next show
Awesome thanks for watching!
3:17 Well, even though it's scratched to buggery, at least it's still straight.....
3:35 Oooooookay, never mind ((0_0))
😂😂😂 yeah looked alright at first
Interesting to see how far you have advanced in your on camera work.
I started watching a few months ago and going back through your inventory of vids has bee greatly entertaining.
Definitely an advantage having a camera person.
I work with a tripod or ceiling mounted camera. You're ability to move and change the shot is a big improvement over fixed shots.
😁😎
Thanks for all the great videos.. The best to the Security Manager and the Video Manager :D
Cheers mate thanks for watching
Great work. I love the fact that this guy, in addition to working on welds and such, is also a mailman. Impressive.
You are a cut-up! Your skill and knowledge is remarkable..
Thank you! Cheers 😎👍
Hi buddy. Friday mornings wouldn't be the same here in Ireland without watching another job being well done . Your doing the work of 2 men there .... have you ever considered getting an apprentice to help with work ? Teach him your ways of working. I know apprentices can sometimes be a pain in the butt but we were all there . A good fella would lighten the load for you.
Hey mate! Thanks for watching over there glad you enjoyed it. Yeah apprentices need too much babysitting at first so really wouldn't be worth it just yet, we would probably look for someone with a few good years and skills behind them first
Really liked this video, I do some part time machining (amateur but I have a arrow vmc and a sodick wire amongst other "home" shop kit) and was looking for a competent rework to show someone who'd been told it wasn't possible, and watched it to the end. Great that you added the bloopers, and you showed the ones where you dropped the insert screw in the swarf and had to hunt it out, the sliding hook of the tape fell off the end of the shaft a few times checking the length etc. Because I've done both those so many bloody times too. Keep up the good work!
You're an awesome tradesman and you're funny as well.........love the out-takes at the end.
Love to watch a amazing machinist with a sense of humor. 1st take.....yea right..
😂 I think that ended up being the most takes for any intro
Nailed it !!!!! Everything but the 1st. take... but it was worth it... Thanks bunches.... 4 legged forman looks happy.... Camera work was great as usual...
Hey Dave thanks for the regular views and comments we notice and appreciate the support mate!
Your skills and knowledge are so impressive, and I love watching your videos. I used to work construction, but I've been a computer systems administrator for decades now. I'm sick of sitting in front of a keyboard all the time. I like to fix stuff with my hands, and your job requires plenty of brains, skill and competence. Well done sir. I salute you. (Utah, USA)
Your channel is great as it is. The out takes are the human side. Love it. Great job as usual!
Glad you enjoy it!
Boring day but then a Cutting edge video thanks for sharing 🇦🇺👍
Enjoy! 😎👍
Your outtakes are interesting and glad you include them. It shows the real issues with videoing most anything. The dog video inserts are also great. But your abilities in machining and turning are the best. Thumbs Up!
Awesome, thank you! Great comment
Fantastic!! it's a pleasure to see you perform. Many thanks Mike
