This Tool Is a NIGHTMARE To Run (But It Saves Time & Money!)

Video Description

In today's video, Matt is running our worn out shop made trepanning tool on the hulk (our Spanish Gurutzpe Megabore) to core out some very large billets. Built over a decade ago, this trepanning tool is very VERY temperamental to run. It gets the job done... but only just. We're in the process of building a bigger one, but for the moment we've got to make this tool work. So... let's have a crack. 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.
