Can We Use The Lathe Like a SHAPER For This Part?
HAL Heavy Duty Machining Australia
View ChannelAbout
Welcome to our heavy duty machine shop. We specialise in the drilling industry and are located in Central Qld, Australia. My name is Matt, and in a nutshell we make super heavy duty gear that drillers typically love breaking. Hydraulic cylinders, drilling crossover subs, drill bits, recovery gear... the list goes on. If it's drilling related, we do it. WHY HAL? We chose to name the channel after my late grandad Hal. After working on a drill rig since the age of 14, Grandad then "retired" from drilling at age 60 to "the machine shop" ... and then proceeded to work until his 87th birthday. THE CHANNEL This little channel is just about sharing some of the weird and wonderful gear we get to make in the machine shop... and how drillers manage to break it. I upload once a fortnight (or weekly if possible...) and really appreciate all the comments from around the world. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

Video Description
In today's video we turn the big Colchester Alpha 1760 into a Shaper to machine out a gigantic water swivel. This is the final part of a four part series, and it's mesmerising to watch! If you want to catch the previous parts to the rebuild, here they are: PART 1 https://youtu.be/_vuB2IwWYZA PART2 https://youtu.be/Ak5tqk3fF3Y PART3 https://youtu.be/U_g0Y5HVU0k Enjoy! ABOUT HAL HEAVY DUTY We're a real life machine shop for a 60 year old drilling company located in Central Queensland, Australia. Our job is to keep rigs running in the field - fixing all the stuff drillers break and creating all the custom gear they need to get the job done. We run two CNC's, manual repair lathes, a few mills and a big green Megabore Lathe we call "THE HULK"... and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful tools for odd (usually oversize) jobs. We release our weekly video at 1pm Friday (AEST), so be sure to subscribe if you want to see stuff you really won't find anywhere else.
