Production Videos

This is the new post to bring together all the production videos that have been made and keep them all together in one place.

we start with the 4inch Burrell gear cutting...

Next is a 2inch Burrell Governor Bevel on the CNC mill

next is the same part on the 4th axis, having the side holes drilled...

this next one is the Showmans rear wheel rims being drilled, although we don't actually make them like this any more its still worth seeing...

foden smoke-box on the 4th axis...

this is actually the blank that was sent of to the casting company...

this is a funny one, this is the big heavy showmans cylinder casting. we were just moving it back and forth at this stage to see if the 4th axis could handle the weight and hold the tolerance needed.

cylinder liner shrink fit...

the new Hass machine...

and the last one for now...

another new video. this one is the BU4 cylinder block saddles...

some video of our new machine.
now, this was filmed using my phone so its not top quality and the sound keeps dropping, probably because i had my finger over the mic
also a lot of the noise is not coming from the machine. the sound you can hear in the first section, like a mad Bee on a moped, is the boiler maker preparing boiler plate with the "nibbler".

nice to have a clean machine at STW, it basically like our old machines with a few extras and reads the exact same code, in fact this program was first used on our old 4th axis machine to make the prototype rotors...
