I'm glad you mentioned how difficult it was machining hardened steel. You make it look so easy, it looks like 12L14 :-)

This would have been a good time to use that fancy hardness tester you bought at the auction .Great video Adam

It shouldn't amaze me that you can hear the difference between harder and softer material, but the squeal is not something this ex-carpenter ever heard in wood. Thank goodness. Thanks, Adam!

Thanks for re-explaining what this was actually for. I kept scratching my head watching you machine these asking why. Pretty cool stuff.

Thank you for leaving the sound on. Machining is just as much hearing as feeling. On my manual equipment, I can feel what is going on. At work, I run Cnc and have to listen to the cut. Everyone should learn the sounds of actual cutting. You learn the sound, right before the drill breaks or the insert cracks. Hearing protection is a must, but the sounds are important.

Those dang hubs are heat treated by rapid induction coils in the factories... science and technology in action. Great job!

Dude you made this look so easy... I have a Corrado and I'm working on some custom rear hub, and just having the right tools makes a world of difference.

Nice series Adam. Thank you for giving us the speeds. It either reinforces what I though they should be, or corrects my error.

I use the Starrett Master Vernier Height Gage 254MZ. Very similar to your height gage. Easy, quick and accurate! Thanks for taking the time to produce another excellent video.

Fascinating work you do Adam. Love the technical aspects of things you work on.

Just watched all of your metalizing videos again as I have to do my first job of this type, I'm sure glad you put out this content for us to use as a help during the learning curves ( and in machining there are a lot) keep up the good work, even if it's noisy.

You never now what you are going to find when customizing car parts. They like to case harden areas. It makes machining very interesting and frustrating. Good job Adam.

Very precise, beautiful drafting. I admire the artistry in everything you do.

Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 and although I don't do any of the type of work that you do I just want to say that you are fantastic in the way that you work with the manual machines. I learnt how to work with cnc Mills and lathes which yes they to take a lot to learn and understand but with the machines that you use it's different, thank you for sharing the videos you do and also the methods & techniques you use to teach others how they can do everything that a computerised machine can achieve 👍👌

Thanks for showing some machining of hardened material. It comes up more times than we might like to admit...

CBN is your friend. It will cut this stuff like butter and the burning steel chips flying off makes for really cool pictures.

Great Video Adam. Nice to see your approach to what would have probably been a frustrating job for most people. Best Regards Sarah

Yo Adam, for all those people complaining about the audio -- I just want to say thanks. One of the big problems I've had when trying to learn this stuff by my lonesome is not knowing when something is right, and a lot of time the audio cues are what you have to go on. Knowing what you're hearing, what options you have, and what decisions you end up making is extremely useful information.

Sounds is definitely one of the things you have to learn when machining. You let the machines "talk" to you and you know what's going on. For the ones complaining, there's always the mute button.

Man, that's the first time I've had sound from a video _"hurt my ears"!_ Even turned way down, I had to just take them off during the cuts! Holy cow!

Abom, a trick I've learned as my eyes get older is to use my phone to take a quick pic of those small numbers then blow the pic up to view. Works well for poor light and bad view angles too.

I use this trick at work too to read tiny spec labels. Another trick camera phones can do is check to see if infrared emitters are working on say, a TV remote. With the naked eye, they appear invisible. Watch the same thing on your phone screen, it looks like a dim red LED.

Nice job on the hubs , Cheers from Perth W.A.

I can tell you haven't been too keen on this project but I think you have managed to overcome the obstacles. Good idea talking with the owner and the both of you coming up with a plan. Just part of the job shop life. Sometimes you go into a job with good intentions only to have to make changes midstream.

One of my fav vides so far. Keep up the good work

The first 6 months in the current tool shop I work in were spent modifying and making parts for another employees old chevy truck. Modifying and doing this stuff is a giant pain.

nice watching you work... that's gotta be one strong dub.

that was pretty cool thk for taking me along

Thanks for sharing this. I've worked on stuff with hard spots, and literally thought "Damn Abom never has these kind of problems. What Am I doing wrong?"

Appreciate your videos!

hi I watch your videos when I can I like how you know your job and how you do things and how you do your machine work -I wish I had some one able to do some of my fab work for my projects like you. any way nice work and you and your family keep safe and well.

@abom79 - Words of wisdom at 13:00. Would make a nice t-shirt. 😬 “It’s a little soft right on the end, but it’s gonna start getting hard really quick. The shinier it gets the harder it is. We’ll have to slow it down.”

Adam, great video really enjoyed the content thanks for sharing your skills hope your having a great day.!.!.!.

Nice job turning that tough stuff. I've only ever run into 1 part with some weird hard spots like that. Well not so weird I guess, cut the material with a chop saw, it got heated red hot, then tossed into a snow bank lol. In any case, had to grind them off, hss just wouldn't cut it. Well done on a tough project (well it looked tough to me🤣).

I have a few of those seco inserts as well, I machined a modular milling head holder out of a very hard piece of shaft. I had to temper it back first because the tap wouldn't even touch it.

I notice you're turning slowly, I've found these inserts meant for hardened materials work a lot better when you take them up to speed. I did a 20mm diameter at 1800rpm, no coolant and got an absolutely spectacular finish. My feed was quite slow at around .02mm/rev

I recently modified Some hubs for a VW and yes. Hard as a coffin nail.

I'd assume you would have a tick list for particular comments every time you upload an automotive video, they always seem to attract controversy. Nice work, and keep up the great content! Your teaching this boilermaker how to use a lathe with all your great videos!

Interesting couple of videos. Aside from the resonance from the squealing breaking my glasses and causing me to have seizures (😲) it had a lot of good information as usual. Often the sound something makes while turning is very helpful. Thanks for including it. It really helps me learn. Looking through the comments, I see the trolls are hard at it. Non carborundum illigitimi, don't let the bastards grind you down! Thanks.

Enjoyed this immensely. In the UK we would call the axles constant velocity joints. Had them on my Mini cares I owned during the 80’s

Cool Job!

very good work

Good job making the ChevroWagen frankenhub. Turning that out of a billet would have been a bear, even if you could broach the splines. Functionally it’s fine, just the aesthetics of the leftover holes detract from the part. The customer got what he wanted so all is good. Lets see some more paying jobs. Thanks for sharing.

The holes wont be visible with the rotors and wheels on.

I am working on a project where its the opposite - taking 5 hole hubs and re-drilling for a larger 5 hole pattern and trying to not break out on the outer diameter

Honest question, what about tempering it after you've welded it, to make sure the HAZ isn't brittle? The post heat does that?

Great work on job and video :)

Man, your precision surface plate is bigger than my work bench.

Great video and good job. As my (unsolicited) 2 cents, I would've annealed the hub. You effectively turned bearing races and the hardened welded up hole might become an issue since the stud's splines won't grip in the hub, risking that stud to spin when torquing down and/or taking off the wheel nut. The only place where it might be important for the hub to be quite hardened is the interior splines, even so, I doubt it would be an issue.

awesome job machining. had to take the headphones off when you got into that hardened steel. my hat is off to you for taking this job on. on a side note: i wonder why the customer didn't want to go to something stronger like some chromolly RCV's and just make some custom hubs that use a much larger unit bearing than that one shown. when you're worried about horsepower breaking a cv shaft or wheel bearing why continue to use something that's "ok" when you can take that up to "unbreakable" level. broken cv's can break a transmission which is a whole lotta more money than stepping up to the plate

Nice job adam

I like the 6 jaw you got there. What brand is it & what size is it?? Exceptional job on those hubs. One other thing is when maching that hard stuff, it starts screaming well i seen a machinist lean or let drag a piece of metal on the backside of the turning piece & it shut the resonating noise up, what's your thoughts on that practise????

Nice work! What do you use to clean up the cutting fluid and chips? I always seem to struggle with that.

Lol, my dogs do NOT like this video. They went outside, and I gave a thumbs up. Thanks Adam

Adam, I as one just noticed that you are growing a beard, looks good, let it grow some more, make it a real full beard. I've been growing mine since 1969, and I'm 76 now. I think you do great work. Thank you for the great videos. Michael said that bye for now my friend.

Suggestion: on your height gage in stead of picking it up to read the very small scale, try taking a quick picture of the setting then “read” the zoomed image on your phone.

He would either have to make them from a giant chunk of already hardened steel...which would mean removing WAY more material...or make it from the un-hardened steel and heat treat it and harden it properly to make it safe for a racecar. Yucky.

@@animalmother556x45 hubs are usually never hardened but heat treated or forged. this one is an exception because of the bearing races on the shaft that requires surface hardening. the real expensive task would be the ID broaching for the drive shaft anyway when making from stock.
