I can see many things that would make their jobs much easier and their tools last much longer but that is just me. I must say however these men do a great job working with what they have.

I’m self employed semi-retired precision engineer and have used manual machinery for years. Because I was near to retiring it wasn’t worth me buying CNC machinery. It nice to see that some people are still doing things the way I’ve always done them. I’m appalled at their lack of safety equipment though. No safety shoes or eye protection is madness. One other point; the title says 100 years old technology. The principles might be old but the actual machines are at most 60 or 70 years old.

The heat treat furnace is a doozy... and they seem to use the Mk1 eyeball for hardening temperature... oh... no... he has a remote pyrometer, and a hardness tester... cool... 🙂 I note in all of these videos that their tooling is shop made with brazed carbide tips, which would certainly save a lot of expense for folk who's currency is probably not that buoyant.

The machinists could not work around that problem. It was the piece that was cast and its circumference at the splash was less than the diameter that was per specifications. You can only take off material and not add it. Unless you weld extra at the splash to build it up. Evidently, at that splash, it did not interfere with the connecting pieces. I see some comments are critical but to me, these guys show years of experienced craftsmanship working in a country that does not have immense resources. I love to watch these clips showing different cultures.

I was taught many decades ago that really skilled people can make almost anything with basic tools, and I have found that to be true. I once made a complete telescopic sight base and rings for a rifle with just a hacksaw, pliers and files. I didn't have a vice, or even a pair of vice grips at the time, but I did have a small propane torch for the brazing. It turned out OK and worked well on a P14 303 rifle that I had at the time. That would have been in 1962 or so when I was living in a bed-sit in Auckland, NZ, so no workshop facilities at all. I was 20 then... It's amazing what you can do if you try. Happily, these days I have a decent lathe, mill, forge/anvil, welders, vices, measuring equipment etc. etc. ..... Sures does save time and it's so much easier to be really accurate... :-)

That 100 year old technology was used to bootstrap today's multi-million dollar CNC machines. Humble beginnings :-) Stay safe.

@KathrynLiz1

34 минут бұрын

Exactly... machines make things, with the aid of craftsmen, more accurate than themselves, including other machines. The first lathes were crude 'dead centre' setups and were used to make the spindles for better ones, which were used to make accurate slides that led to mills and shapers..... Soft steel was case hardened for wear and hand fitted, enabling the machining of later alloy steels with high speed and latterly carbide tool bits. It's all a progression. The old cam operated automatic lathes have now given way to CNC with all of its speed and versatility......... But there's still room for the jobbing engineer that can make one of something to OEM specs when factory parts are not available. How many young folk today know how to forge and temper a leaf spring for an old gun? Not many I'd say from the people that come to me with long faces and broken old firearms... 🙂

And to think, this is the tooling, men and metals that built the industrialized world. Technology has been updated about 50 years . I wouldreally like to work in this shop for a year or so. With a pair of Red Wings on though. And a welding helmet.

I would love to know how close their apex measurement is on that double helical, because I have manufactured similar shafts like that (turn, hob, grind) with far more sophisticated machinery and I know that I had to have that apex measurement within a couple thousandths of an inch. I can't believe they can get that same kind of accuracy with the machinery they are using.

Compared to this shop the few commercial American machine shops I ever set foot in were compulsively obsessed with cleanliness (chip removal) and unnecessarily high flows of coolant/cutting fluid. That the gear hobbing machine had a functional cutting fluid system surprised me. I expected an old man or a boy with a coke bottle. Where are the apprentices? I was under the impression that chip removal and dribbling cutting fluid was a prime purpose of machine shop apprentices.

OSHA would have a field day with all the violations in that factory, open toe shoes, loose fitting clothing, no eye protection, trip hazards everywhere, etc. However, they do some pretty damn good work in spite of all the hazards.

*Horror! The technology is like 80-100 years ago. The accuracy and purity of the processing remain a big question. There is no safety precautions at all stages of work.*

I saw a similar lathe in Manila where it had been taken apart and had the carrier bearing hub bored out and replaced with the size they use on Mercedes Benz Heavy Trucks so they could pirate bearings out of the junkyard. and they made beautiful things.

Great workmanship. But put on some eye and ear protection!!!

Im 75 now....and i was taught 60 yrs ago....do NOT wear long sleeves when working at a lathe..

Приходили боги и приносили новые станки и инструменты. Делали приспособления. Научили работать с клиентами и зарабатывать деньги. А потом умерли. Бедные остались одни. Деградировали и приспосабливались как могли. И не было ни сил, ни желания уйти в сторону, откуда приходили учителя! Но жизнь текла, железный дом давал пищу, а развитие только могло отнимать спокойствие. Так они и жили и было им хорошо.

Bet that lathe is older than the operator.
