Turning Weld Build Up With High Speed Steel

got a small job to do small a job these are some parts for this part right here are off of forklift axle and a while back in my channel probably about at least two years ago I think it was I released the video called fort lift axle repair and I'll throw the card up there in the video and throw it in the description box in case you didn't see that if you want to check it out these are the parts out of that video that I did luckily the damage isn't as bad as it was then in that video I had to lie on board the housing and make some steel bushings to go in there to bring it back to size for the kingpin to fit in and then this was one of the parts that go in there and so the other side has been worn out now and Joe has been trying to limp along until he get to the point where he could tear it down and work on because they used that forklift every single day so he's got another forklift now and out so now he's fixing this one I believe it's a t-rex but Rex or something like that forklift when I'm altering looks like a law so he says the the housing is okay it's not watered out like like the last time but the this right here this is a sealed Journal this one is good that's what it's supposed to look like right there you got a sealed journal here and I don't remember if this is a bearing journal or if that just fits the housing I can't remember now but it's just been so long I haven't even gone back to look at that video I'm telling you how but I got some good sizing right here so Joe welded this up it was really eat up that seal journal it was just totally gone and wore out so he built this up using MIG wire and I'm going to set it up in the Forge all we're going to get it indicated and I'm going to turn this back and make it look as close to this one as I can so this will be the first job that we go down in the monarch and use the the new four jaw Chuck so let's go let's go get started put a little use on the little Miller fall grinder that I'm working on right here this is what I'm doing here trying to knock that spatter off and clean the rough stuff off of it okay we already got the Chuck set I measured this is about four inches in diameter there and I've got the jaw set about four inches so I'm going to go ahead and stick it in here try to get it even just by feel barely snug the top one not too shabby we're red and just snug them a little bit more go ahead and we'll start here so there's a couple ways you could indicate this you can use these machine surfaces that's what you want to true up on since we've got two turned areas this one is a little bit messed up but I think we might be able to use it so we'll try it indicate here and here and you'll indicate here on the OD get it true and out here what we do is bump it around and try to get it lined up parallel with the spindle you could also indicate on this face right here and that ain't bad at all that's only ten thousands right there I can tell you already I'm liking the way this Chuck feels it has a very smooth very smooth friction to the threads this is I'm not used to it at all it's so it's much better much better than the old chuck I'll go ahead and spin the numbers around make it a little bit easier to read anyway so you know we got a thousand right there but we're going to have to do this again so all right now I'm going to move it out here to this end okay not too bad I'm going to take my this hammer here it's a little bit big for this but we'll try there's a couple ways you can do it you find your low and you can tap the flange and it will kick it around them jaws really got it it's so it's not wanting to move very much we'll try it like this I got a little too tight on the jaws anyone to move see that alright loosen it up a little bit now we're getting somewhere all right now I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and move it back and see how far we are on this side here loosen barely snug I don't want to over-tighten it again it's about a half of thousands so I'm going to go ahead and come back out here to this if I get it real close we might verified on the face there and see it's about a half a thousands about a half a thousand six just about there yeah it looks looks good enough there so I'll set up a tool and we'll start doing some turning so here's our good piece that we're going to copy and this is all inch dimensions for that diameter right there is one in 5/16 and then our seal journal it's 2 inches back here I think this just fits this is going to fit up inside the hole there so we'll just you know we'll just try to copy all those one thing that I do need to do also is set this shoulder length so there's a couple ways you can do that you know you can do this right here with the back of the calipers it looks like it's going to be thirteen sixteenths you can do it like this at the bottom of the calipers now it gets you close you can also take a depth gauge try to hold it nice and square and come down very gently with soft fingertips and I'm getting looks like eight fifteen eight sixteen so we'll just call it 8:15 I think what we'll try is this high-speed tool text to Rex 49 I speed steel we'll try that first these high-speed tools are excellent tools to use on wells like this because oftentimes when you're cutting a weld it's it's an interrupted cut and you're hitting sometimes slag and it'll mess up the tool bill so using a tool like this is handy because you can just go over to and regrind it you're not busting your expensive carbide inserts but there are times that your weld is very tough and high-speed just doesn't want to cut it so I don't know how this is going to react we're about to find out I'm assuming this system cast steel and I know Joe used just regular MIG wire to weld that up I'll use some cutting oil on it too just gonna take it nice and easy I'm not in a hurry here I'm going to just dial in 50,000th make a little pass across there to get rid of the hot spots all right so that worked out pretty well so far it's not beating and banging it seems to be soft not hardened steel I've got rid of the high spots there so I'm not worried about coming in there and take it too hard of a cut somewhere what I'll do is kind of get an idea on how much mean reduce that we're going to be around 2 inches 30 or so looks like about 200,000 somewhere in that neighborhood so I know I can go ahead and dial in another hundred thousands and make another pass here like it's time for a new brush over there fine one finished getting this OD roughed in we're not down the size yet I need to go ahead and turn the shoulder back first so I'm just going to run this tool up very gently by hand with the hand wheel here until it just sucks all right I just felt it touch got a little resistance now we'll come over here and using this Mac back indicator I'll come up and I'm just going to try to square up that little disc there and we'll set a zero I'm going to move the tool back out of the way I'm cranking it back and we'll go ahead and count out our we'll go to eight ten that way we got a little bit to clean up on the face like five thousands all right so there's our there's our 8:10 and go ahead and reset it back to a zero all right so that's where our shoulder will be it looks like it's going to not quite clean everything up but that's worked up I think what I'll do is just turn it I just touched off there and I'll just just go in and I'll turn it back to my zero I'm not using a fast feed either I got it set at 5,000 feed try not to push it too hard here all right so we'll do one more on camera here just I'm just going to keep doing this until I get down there to to that diameter alright we got it down into our target range there and again we're going to make this right at 1 inch 312 which is one in 5/16 so I'm going to mic the weld and we're at 625 six seven eight one inch 339 we've got little ways to go I sped it up some I want to go ahead and take ten thousandths now what I did before I started that shot I forgot tell you I slid this tool out and I used my own and I went ahead and rehome that edge to help leave a better finish on there it looks like it's leaving a nice finish nice finish there let's go ahead and we'll finish this out I'm going to dial in the remainder of what we need and just let it pass you know run all the way across this path here so we're at a 321 and a half yeah it looks like we got 9,000th all right so I'm gonna back off here I'll run out 5,000 change my feed direction clean up face up five thousands okay all right we're getting there we're almost done I'll just blend that with some Emery cloth there to see where I hit my looks like 312 and a half to me all right so our tools still sitting where we just cut our shoulder this zeroed out our next shoulder length is going to be 9/16 back so we're going to do the same thing we're going to move it 9/16 which is 562 right there we'll reset this back to our 0 okay and this is going to be a two inch diameter journal right here this one's measuring like 1.9 98 but it's not critical because this is bigger than that so go ahead and check it with our brown and shark here like we got 45 thousands let's take a 20 thousands pass and see how let's see how the tool does here on this all right get a measurement here let's make one more cut 24 24000 just trying to keep the words cutting wet with the cutting oil help maximize our finish there okay it is right on it two inches let's go ahead and finish out our this diameter right here let's go ahead and mic it believe we said is going to be 28,000 it's over two inches yeah about 28 29 4/6 thirty one two three all right so we're going to take three we're going to take four thousandths and after that we're going to blend it all right so it's just barely touching there I'm going to go ahead and back it out stop that you can see like that thousands were a little bit we were running out we'll just hit it with some memory we need eel go ahead and hit it hit a chamfer here and polish it up we are going to put a chamfer you can see on this one it's got a nice lead-in out of fact here's one of the beauties with the multi fix you can kick it around 9 degrees if you want to change your angle a little bit so I'm just kind of eyeballing that angle and you see that set back a little bit so that may be a lip seal can go over it yeah kind of cleaned up the world there too all right there we go we got her all polished up there's a couple spots right there that didn't clean up very good I'm not real happy about but I was hoping that they would on that last cut so I'm just gonna I'm going to leave those and let Joe determine whether he's happy with that or if he wants to spot that and reweld them and me set it back up again and turn it but I think it will work I'm going to go ahead and take it out of the machine here all right there we go nice little job for the new four jaw Chuck you you
