    This looks like the "pilot bit" for a large DTH hammer (for a company like e.g. Lännen Alituspalvelu if it is for horizontal drilling and for any of a large number of people who do foundations if it is for vertical drilling). It's not necessarily only intend for rock-drilling. Using DTH for advancing a steel-casing or steel-pile in coarse, stony, mixed material is very common. This pilot bit will be drilled into to accept a large number of "hard metal", cemented tungsten carbide bits. In Finland, which has very hard rock like all the baltic shield countries, they will be the hemispherical kind of button bits; very smooth and not very sharp or pointy. This means slower drilling, but they do not wear down and break as fast as the pointier sphere-cone-shaped bits. When drilling horisontally, the drill rod also has a large auger that neatly fits into the steel casing. Air from several large compressors (~20 bar-ish) is let through the drill rod to the hammer. The hammer hits this pilot bit, which hits the rock face or soil. In harder materials like rock, only the button bits hit the face; the much softer hardened steel is keept clean by the used air from the hammer, which is channeled to the face of the hammer, blowing away all the small stone chips or whatever is there. The air then is channeled away from the face, around the hammer and into the auger in the steel casing. The drill rod/auger is slowly rotated to remove spoils like an auger conveyor. The pilot bit is slightly smaller than the casing, so a ring bit is used to ream a hole slightly larger than the casing (this is a wear-part, rather than a many-use-part). The pilot bit has a lot of inertia when it starts moving from being struck by the hammer, and it will hit the ring bit that is usually welded to the steel casing (sometimes there is a bayonett-style coupling). This drives the ring bit and casing forward. The hammer is rotated slightly after each blow so that the button bits hit slightly different places each blow. They are also distributed on the face of the hammer so as to make almost concentric circles evenly spaced, so that no part of the rock face avoids being hit by the button bits. As the button bits hit the surface, they do exceed the compressive stress of the rock locally, causing crushing into powder; but outside the area hit by the button bit, the buttons cause bending stress. Rock is weak against bending (like unreinforced concrete) so some cracks radiate outward. Eventually different networks of cracks from adjacent hits line up and small stone chips come off the rock-face.

    Hell yeah! Thank you for documenting the process, I have encountered many big forgings, big CNC-machines and big machined components, but I don't think I've ever seen how such a large forging is actually machined. Im a materials engineer, and whenever I work on making the toughest possible tool steel in the future I will be thinking of what a pain it will be for all the machine operators :)

    People can make some amazing machinery that we take for granted. Always fascinating to see... Several years ago my wife and I hauled a huge bit that was almost as wide as our trailer and around 20 ft. long from a foundry in Duluth, Mn. to a mine on a mountain in the middle of New Mexico. It wasn't machined like this though, unless it was done at the mine later on. I think it was for production in the mill because the business end was rounded like it went into a huge bowl and not shaped like a rock bit and the "shaft" was like a screw conveyor. Everything in that mine was huge. I doubt one of the haul trucks would even notice running over a pickup truck. Another time we hauled a steam turbine shaft from a power plant near Henderson, NV to get rebuilt in NC. It was driven by steam produced by a natural gas fueled jet engine similar to an F-16 engine, I was told, and had had one of the turbine blades go through it. It was 30 ft. long and weighed 20,000 to 30,000 lbs. The precision of that thing was amazing and the General electric plant we hauled it to had others that weighed over 100,000 lbs and had to be transported on train flatbeds.

    You're absolutely right - there isn't a lot of content like this on KZread. I've actually looked for footage of large industrial lathes, and there's very little to be found.
