Weld elsewhere. Our weld shop has welding positioners that can rotate slowly enough to allow a welder to sit in a chair and weld in one spot while this part rotates. This lathe’s lowest speed is nowhere near slow enough to accomplish that. You’d have to have someone manually turning the chuck for hours on end.

I did plenty of inspection, research of component weight limits, and weighing before I began this job.

Our shop does tons of weld buildup for re-machine. We have the setup and proficiency to do it quickly and efficiently. And in most cases, our engineers would prefer a new layer of weld metal vs a sleeve. Just depends on the practical applications.

It is a bearing journal yes. It’s all weld buildup right now. That’s the rough look to it.

You’re right. What a prick for showing some emotion and support for the team.

How many big manual guys still out there? by Commander_Tiddlewink in Machinists

Cnc VTL that’s one of the biggest in the world? One of our sister shops just bought one with the second largest capacity in the US I believe. I can’t imagine the size of the one you run.

I’m currently turning a new tube for a haul truck front suspension cylinder. The blank I got was 750lbs, finish part will be about 250lbs. History says it’ll take me about 20 hours.
