Uh oh, drama in the Cutting Edge Engineering workshop! Kurtis broke the tailstock on our big lathe and needs to repair it. First thing, we get the tailstock disassembled to diagnose the problem which turns out to be a broken nut for the quill and leadscrew. But the nut has an internal acme…

The irony of Kurtis mentioning he was 'heavy handed' in the last video and then he goes and breaks the big lathe 😐🤦♀ Good thing he knows a guy that can repair it 😅 Leave a comment below and tell us what YOU think of his repair skills!👍

Ha, the fact the Ice-cream man watches your videos just goes to show how popular you guys are, keep up the great work.
I totally enjoy watching your videos with your and Karen and Homie. You have great talent indeed.
Could you not have just drilled 4 new holes in the flange which wasn't broken (basically the same bolt pattern offset by 45 deg from the originals) to get it back together quickly? Just asking for my edification. Obviously I appreciate that it's going to be weaker than original. Cheers,
beautiful.. very interesting …
but … the franna project ??
we are waiting …
That was a satisfying reassembly
Good old chinese cast iron. You never know what you might find in that shit !!
2:40 not just an adjustable hammer, but an adjustable SLIDE hammer. nice
very slick job
30:00 love on board cam!!! Cheers!
Very nice repair, but a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Those cast iron threads are suspect mow due to the condition of the original casting, in the event they fail, how would replace it? would you need to turn a new screw as well?
The nut should have never been cast in the first place. As you found out, it is far too brittle for that job.
What kind of problem would manifest if the nut bolt holes were
to be redrilled 45 degrees apart?
I like more todays -5 ºC (in southern Finland) than your + 30+ ºC. This winter's record was almost -40 ºC in the northern Finland. I wouldn't like that either. Anyways, I like ice-cream too.
Ah FFS is my go to comment
A fantastic job as always, not only have you repaired it but you have improved it, a top-notch engineering job, congratulations Kurtis and greetings to Karen🐾
What would the chances be of you and Karen getting permission trom a company to film when you are on site making repairs like on a big mining or earthmoving work site?
Why you didn‘t drill four new holes? That’s the fastest way to fix it !
Greetings from Germany
I would have just drilled 4 holes on the same PCD of the damaged 4 in between them on the flange
👏👏👍👍👍
love the dog cam. give the dog his own channel LOL
all this instead of treading acme?? why?
"Ice cream man"! Shades of bigstackD perhaps?
Looks like Homie got a case of the zoomies for a bit!!
you're the man Kurtis, great job. i wish it was warmer here, not 92 but not 29 either or colder.
The dodgiest piece of “cast” iron. It’s like it was just iron filings packed down in a hydraulic press.
Unless it was meant to be a failure point to prevent more significant damage from a crash??🤔
Mr Whippy!
Mad respect for you sir. You are 100% beast mode. I am just impressed every time I watch your videos. 👍🏻🍺
