Making BIG Hex Bolts | K&W Facing Borer Upgrade | Part 2

Ғылым және технология

We are continuing the upgrades for our Kitchen & Walker Horizontal Facing Borer! Now we need to make the new bolts that will go through the column and into the riser block on the facing borer. The bolts are 450mm (17 ¾” inches) long and in this video we show the step by step of machining the 6 new bolts using round bar and turning it into hex bolts. We start with rough turning the OD of the high tensile round bar and cut the external threads. We also need to mill the ends of the bolts into a hex and to do that we use our Super Indexer on the milling machine. We finish the bolts off by giving the ends a quick tidy up on the lathe and buff with a buffing wheel. How do you think the new bolts turned out!?

    I enjoy watching your video's it brings back many memories for me. I am retired now, but I was an engineer, I served a technician apprenticeship, so many of the things you do are things we learned about particularly in the first year when I was 16/17 years old, I spent the whole first year in an excellent training workshop and the following year as a tool setter in the factory and a few months in the tooling investigation department that looked into problems with tooling in the factory and sought solutions, that was the limit of my hands on training. The rest of my apprenticeship was office based in various different, departments, I like most of the technician apprentices finished my time in a drawing office, in my case it was a jig and tool design office which I worked in for a couple of years before moving on. Later I did a number of different engineering roles and completed a degree. But the times I remember with the greatest fondness were the early years of the apprenticeship, a time of wonderment and discovery. We learned all the things you did in this video, but our machines were not so large as yours. I think our largest lathe had about 10 bananas between centres. of course in such a short time the skill level we achieved would not have been up to your standards. The bolts you made look great, I am sure they will do the job.

    Great way for making custom bolts. We had a Ministry of Defence contract and we were manufacturing and assembling verything except for the ordnance. We had to make special bolts and for that purpose the company bought a profilator which would machine a hexagon complete from round bar. The process was hypnotic and I would often stand there watching this fantastic machine for that time, making hexagons from round. These days it is easily achieved, but back then it was fascinating and so fast. Looking forward to part 3, thanks for posting, be well, be safe.

    so satisfying to watch an KZreadr actually use the "metric" method of cutting threads. you just need a good brake on the machine and watch your cutting depth, and it simply cannot go wrong. where as the "imperial" got so many opportunities to go wrong, even tho it "might" be faster

    That brings back memories. Working for Atlas Copco Wagner Mining Equipment Co. As a diesel mechanic in their factory in Portland, Or building oscillating axle assemblies using big long bolts and the twang of the threads and bolts when you hit them on other steel surfaces, the old days. We went through bucket loads of those types of bolts, 32 per machine. The ones I used weren’t as pretty as those.

    You forgot possibly the two most important reason to have the hex heads flanged. (1) it looks prettier than a plain hex. (2) it gives you a good reason to have used that large round stock. You can't do that with hex stock! Everyone knows that style and excuses come before function haha.

Kudos to both of you and the safety inspector who ensures you’re always safe. The bolts look great, the addition of the flange feature was a great modification. I can’t wait to see part three and the machine doing it’s first job after the modification. Keep those chips flying!
