​@@tetedur377The CEE Franna crane was previously used to load parts into and out of a caustic wash bay is my understanding from what Curtis described in the early videos on the machine. Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

“It turned out pretty good” “I think it look alright” No man, that’s incredible and was satisfying as hell 🤘🏻

Im impressed at your decision to set this up slowly without rushing into it. So many (to many) people try to show how much they know by speeding through procedures like this and ultimately making a mistake or three and ruining the workpiece or the tool. You have gained respect and appreciation by your process.

Very professional welder and fabricator I like the way you spend time thinking through the best way to do a repair. .

I came up with a good alignment method when referencing off of an existing parallel bore. I went and got heim joints with eyes the same diameter as the boring bar and I welded bar ends into different lengths of dom tubing. They are basically adjustable link bars that allows me to perfectly line up the bore.

I don’t laugh at people figuring out how to make something work. Great job.

I think he did a great job, just look at the results! Especially with a machine he never used before.

Great job you have the never give up attitude. The job will always be done correctly.

Given your experience and knowledge of line boring and the fact that you already own what is probably the very best line boring setup available, I would say that you gave S-Power a ringing endorsement. I’ve commented many times before on your videos about my fascination with line boring and desire to get into it. I believe, based on your experience as well as other S-Power customer review videos that I’ve watched, that this is a system that I could use and afford in order to get started. Thanks for your insights.

Well, I see the mean girls are awake! Obvious? I’ll give you that. Thought I’d try to help Greg’s algorithm for taking the time to do the review with something slightly more intelligent than, “First”. Glad you fellers found it entertaining. Have a blessed day.

It's funny you watch a whole lot of engineering videos on KZread and you start understanding the creators thought processors.... and that's where it stops. Great job!

i never was able to get into the machine shop side of things i got stuck doing mechanics all my life witch thats what God wanted for me so i stayed with it but now im 62 wore out and really enjoy watching you guys thank you for struggling with video eq while you work God Bless.

Jesus man, you have some serious Mits !! Thank God you are a welder and not a proctologist

Hello fellow Texan!

Wow, I know nothing about welding, machining or boring and am totally fascinated with your abilities and work! Thank you for sharing with us!

I am an old mechanic and still have an inquiring mind, a very interesting project,

9:50 Now _that_ is what I call truly _quiet!1_ Astonishing! 😮

You are a brave soldier!! Nice narration of the goods and bads. I thank KZread for the privilege of watching "On Fire Welding", "I C Weld", C&C, & CEE some really great machinist/welders. THANK ALL OF YOU. Ye Ole Caterpillar Cowboy out here in Illinois. If "S-Power" doesn't take advantage of your experience and make some changes DAMN fast they are missing the boat. Back to the project. I think I'd drill thru the pin delivery grease in two places at once. Congrats Gregg, excellent project.

I realize that I like your vids for the great experience you display; but I also like it because you seem like a moderate, calm person unlike some die-hard guys in this field. Your shop is bold, not filled with propaganda posters (either side of the fence, propaganda takes us for more stupid then we actually are). It is all about welding and an important welder experience. Your vids make me see the importance of dual shield (I was a bit under the stick mode dogma). Thanks!

For that small amount of money I can see my shop expanding to offer line boring now. Great video as usual. Thanks

Great making no 6 blue chip

Great two part video. Thanks for the review on the boring equipment.

Very interesting project, than you for sharing your skills.

Well done. Thanks for the video Scott

Hello Greg. I'm new to your channel and really enjoy watching it. The reason I am writing to you is I watch C & C Equipment KZread channel and he just bought a metal fab shop complete with lots of fab equipment . There are a lot of Miller welders that he is talking about selling, so I thought I would give you a heads up so you see if there is any welders or other equipment you might be interested in. His video was just posted yesterday. Take care, Russ

Beautiful job! Hello from the State of Texas.

I REALLY like both the WS2 machines that CEE uses! For this being a cheaper option, I'm really impressed 👏 with the results you achieved with it! Between yesterday and today, I've watched 4 or 5 videos of yours and I've gotta say, you really know your craft my guy! You're up there with the quality of CEE and I'm gonna subscribe for more of your content bud! Keep up the great work! God bless!

Thank you! I think line boring machines are like cars, some have options others don’t, and some are more expensive, but they all get you to your destination.

Turned out great again.

You do very excellent work.

Another good job ... I kind of thought that trying to straighten that one side was not gonna workout. Glad to see you had the replacement side already to go. Nice J Joint weld, got to love the 71M wire. I did watch guys doing line boring but the Co i was working for at the time hired me to do cracks and weld on grouser bar so could not do a lot of learning at that time. my background is Welding, Machining,Lathe and mill And operator of all kinds of equipment

Well a great part 2 . Really enjoyed watching the review on the line boring kit . I agree there is always going to be teething problems but for the limited heads up on how to use it you did a fantastic job . For the price it seems a good investment for a start up item . As said a few improvements on certain parts could help in the long run but it's a usable tool out the box . Thanks for the overall time frame on the repair a lot of the time a couple of hours in a video really doesn't give the real time perspective with the hours it can take you to do the repair . And not a bad match on the paint . Thanks again fir a great video with great content .

👌👍! Great job! Keep them coming! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed this video very much. You did a great job.

You can tell you take pride in your work!

awesome review of the product. I appreciate your frustration at the 1/2 fine thread and 1/2 coarse thread. That seems as if it is a manufacturing error. especially when the screws they sent you do not fit and you have to use your own. Great job on the repair.

Nice result from a very difficult repair! Best wishes!

I need to buy a new line boring setup thanks for the review

I have to say that was a crap load of work but the end result is very nice, Great Job!

Part 2 ,,, morning coffeesss on! Here we go!!;-)!!! Cheers!

Excellent job !!!!

Great video and great job!

Nice setup you have

great work as always!

Great job! My guess is that customer had you do this repair because a new link was either not available. Not available in a reasonable time and or price. Love it if you included in your videos exactly what you saved your customer by doing this.

Nice work! As usual. Seems like that line bore setup is pretty good.

Great job ! Would love to of been there when that bent, sure it made a pretty good thud

Seems the haters came on strong on this one. I thought it looked good. He made it back to factory? It looked like an older machine and this repair will probably last the rest of its/owners life.

This was a good video to watch.

Nice job 👍

Great job !!!

Good work 👍

beautiful job congratulations , small shop big jobs .

Great Job !!!!

Nice job 😊

Awesome work man!

Looks very sturdy well done. I always wanted a line borer but stuck with the site welding and lathe/mill. Guess you could use the pitch of the grub screw for roughing cuts 2mm pitch one turn = 4mm Maybe shorten the arc length to stop that wire problem .

Well done!

CEE is great!

Another job is done and it may work for a while, I don't know who engineered or designed that setup but it should have been oversized and bushing installed so the bushings would wear instead of the pin and arm. because you could see from the camera angles that there were areas where the pin was not touching the bore 100% better than you started with

Thanks for sharing mate

Great job

great work

Used to max out and start to melting cables shooting weld studs back in shop days😂

Hi Greg, I just finished both videos on this repair and I have to say that it was one hell of a repair. That part must go through hundreds of cycles during a day of operation when you stop and think about it, so it is a little surprising that there is metal on metal contact between the arm and the pin and the other connection without having any bushings to take up some of the daily wear. It is all a bit much expecting the grease to do all of the work and we are all aware that not everyone is diligent with their daily grease patrol of their equipment. But then again what would I know? 😅 I noticed during the video that your press frame lower bar was flexing during the operation and you mentioned that it has bowed, so I guess that we can all look forward to when you get busy and Frankenstein the press! I love a good bit of Frankenstein equipment! 😅 Keep busy and stay safe! Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Well lucky for this machine it’s retired and lives on a farm and gets used a couple times a year. But yes, this is a bad design.

Bro that thing has some serious torque...

An interesting episdoe young man. No doubt as with a lot of things from the orient, doing some modification improvements can convert the product into a much improved tool over the original.

Amazing work as always. Wish you were in the St Louis area

Good video on the new boring machine. It was strange to receive the rusty set screws which did not belong. Milwaukee has a good reputation and this really disturbed me. I liked the graduated screw hole to assist with tool depth. Too bad the measuring device did not work. Yours is better.

Great video!! Maybe clamp a thick copper plate so the weld would have a backing plate to keep the weld inside the bore.

Awesome man I was waiting for this one 🍻

CEE has a really nice line boring machine, and I'm pretty sure I've seen him use a runout tab, or pipe in this case, to weld at least one bore. That might be the solution that would fix your tapering weld situation here

@legionofanon

Ай бұрын

Or maybe as an alternative if it works, weld from the center out from both sides. I think you could do this with just two setups, step the first welds then fill in from the other side

@OFW

Ай бұрын

Yes, his machine is definitely nicer than this one. But this one was cheap and it works pretty well, that was a part of the test. A run out tab is probably the best solution, but in the time spent making one you could just weld the end by hand.

Nice job, see where the old pin sheared at the grease hole drilling. Also common in the Volvo machine.

@butchphillips873

Ай бұрын

Pretty much every bored pin.

On the cheap bore welder we have we can only run it counter clockwise when looking from behind it If you run it the other way the threads can unwind causing the gun to come apart inside and arc out Kinda looked like what happened to you?

Did you think about doing PWHT (post weld heat treatment) To that heavy weld? He’s going to be a lot of stress associated with the welding. Something to consider.

so the bars should all be threaded m10 x 1.0mm pitch which is metric very fine I ended up retapping all the threads on my bars I have them from 1000mm out to 2500mm the measuring tool is very good it just takes a little bit of getting used to as its measuring tool stick out x2 +bar diameter to give you your bore diameter you need to sweep it across the top of the tool to find the proper height if you turn the adjuster 1mm it adjusts the diameter 2mm for mounting the motor I made up some short studs to make mounting easier it saves a lot of hassle ,to get round the bore welding issues cut the liner back a bit and screw it into the threaded part they are made too long that's why it arced inside they are very good machines and they don't cost a lot I am keen to see your thoughts on the facing head another top video 👍 to get around the issue of the welding tapering to the edge I sometimes swap the motor to the other side for reference I run 2 of these machines and got rid of my hydraulic one

That was nice brother.

As always I look forward to see your videos to me it's like sitting in a classroom and you're the teacher always something to learn from what you're doing

Nice Job

Pretty incredible. You have to know what you're doing with this equipment.

Wow amount of time you have invested in that I'm glad I ain't paying the bill 💸

I was waiting for the infamous white pick-up to make an appearance, but sadly it was probably out for a respray.....LOL Great video.

That doesn't look pretty good, that's beautiful, good job. I don't know anything about line boring but i could see the two sides were not parallel. You saved someone a lot of Buck$.

I don't ever expect to need to do any line boring but I would have to say that, based on the finish issues of burs and mismatched hole tapping of the bar holes - there are serious quality issues. I'm guessing that Milwaukee buys some components rather than make them so it could be a vendor issue but they owe a look at the entire system to the customer prior to pushing it out the door. I would hope they pay attention and fix these (and other noted) problems, being that the rest of the system seems to work adequately.

Milwaukee only makes the boxes. S power makes everything in them. For the price it’s decent. But could be improved on.
