Hello Chris. I'm always won over by your machining videos and this time it's a six-meter piece, no kidding, it's heavy. I don't know how you manage to have zero everywhere with your comparators on such a long part, there's no point in vibrating. Great job as a watchmaker machining this noble metal.
Here I thought you were in Poland this whole time. Huh. Pain the in bum having to accommodate such a large piece, but at least it was only a little off each end!
Some of us are trying to get other things done over here Chris. Now I find myself restraining the urge to spin up five different versions of "that's what xyz said".
Do you find using s smaller tool nose radius typically works best for finishing? What insert sizes and radiuses would you say you use the most in certain circumstances? Like roughing, finishing, light cuts
This may be a silly question but is the colour of the chips a indicator of how much load is on the tool/part... As I noticed some chips were blue and others were a slightly brown colour
Stuff like that sucks depending on what you have to do to it. We had a job one time for some 20"ish diameter heavy wall pipe 20ft long being used as a mold for fiberglass poles. Those things were limp noodles and had a terrible bow in them. We had to turn and then grind them to a certain diameter and a taper. It was a nightmare.
@@latemnf in my opinion you have nothing to be sorry for. If anything i should be the one sorry for missing such an ideal opportunity. Carry on good sir.
I was born and raised in Europe, finished trade school all metric. I moved to US, had to learn imperial. All the machines are set up for inches and all measuring tools are inches so that's what it is. I got used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. You know Americans love their inches 😉
every shop has its guy who sing/whistle christmas song all year long XD
It takes a big lathe with large spindle bore and years of experience to handle that bad boy! Thanks for letting us watch. Have a pleasant weekend.

its the whistle guy again 3:30 :DDD
Yeah, that's him.
Excelente. Este formato de video es por mucho de lo mejor que has mostrado. Animo saludos desde México.
I see you guys have a little drummer boy in your shop also 🤣
Yeah, he's always walking around, tapping on something.
Thanks, Chris for showing us that unusual piece....excellent job on the limits...top.
Gday, certainly a long shaft to deal with, the lathe didn’t mind at all mate, thanks for sharing, cheers
Haha, she never does, I take good care of her.
3:30 Christmas song? love that!
It may not be Christmas yet but people still put up their Christmas decorations around October anyway.
I hate that, at least wait until after the Thanksgiving.
Toujours égal a lui-même j'aime beaucoup se travail bonne continuation
Always enjoy watching you work

So how did you finally figure out that I'm in the US.
@@ChrisMaj my guess is the flag on the wall when you were spinning the shaft around.
@@ChrisMaj The flag on the wall 😉
@@jimsvideos7201 Yeah, I thought so.
Me too, but for me it was the guy “helping” at the tailstock speaking some strange form of English and the fact that the drawings are all in bananas.
Top notch machinery and outstanding skills, thanks for the video.
It's a beautifull job, i did one long time ago and i know how hard is this. Good luck my friend 🇧🇷

By jaysus that's a long shaft, only ever done 3m meself,as you say hard to handle more than anything ,great camera work, thanks for sharing 👍
I love this job it's passionating

I always rough down to 2mm above the diameter with a CNMG then use a TNGP to turn to size.
Dobra robota. Ale mam pytanie, kto tak fałszywie gwiżdże o 3:40?👍😁
And already whistling Christmas songs. Fun!
V obchode je vždy ten jeden chlap.
I see your shwarts is as big as mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣... Space balls reference 🤣🤣🤣
0:11 - Inquiring minds and all that: How'd the center drills get in the ends?
The largest horizontal boring mill that we have.
Do you guys do surface condition testing, or do you just have a speed and feed memorized to obtain particular surface condition requirements?
After all these years I have a pretty good idea what feed /speed and tool nose radius is gonna get me to that surface finish I'm trying to get.
Why do you don't use another tool to make soft surface?
This may be a silly question but is the colour of the chips a indicator of how much load is on the tool/part... As I noticed some chips were blue and others were a slightly brown colour
Blue means that heat from the cut is transfered to the chips making it blue.
Did I read the tolerance correct? Only 1/100 th ?
Oh man, I only wish I could struggle to accommodate such a large work piece - I’d just laugh if someone even mentioned something that long… sigh…

I'm sorry bro but, that's what she said..

@@95dodgev10 my kind of guy lol.
What’s the go with using imperial units for? Wouldn’t you rather metric mate? It’s so much easier

@@ChrisMaj I wouldn’t put up with that. I’d be telling the boss off and make him see the light that metric is easier to use and better way to go.
J'aimerais bien travailler avec vous parce que j'aime bien ce métier
✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼
good job!!
give him more money per houer
Nice , but 2 bits too long :D
They always tell me "we got this long job coming in ", but they never tell me how long until it's in the shop.
