How It's Made Nuts and bolts

It's ridiculous the number of videos I had to go thru to get to one that actually explains the process. Thanks! Curiosity abated!

Wow the quality drop when it showed the forming of the nuts was something else.

My Dad worked as a master machinist in a factory in Cleveland, Ferry Cap & Set Screw. He made parts from scratch using blue prints, essentially the job that CNC machines do today. The "super" threw him a print and and a hunk of steel and let him make the part......amazing.

2:11 this is what I was wondering, it's fascinating how they create the threads by rolling machines

Never boring watching "how its made"

Cool stuff. Mass production of standardized interchangeable parts made at low cost is nothing less than a modern marvel. Add to that how ubiquitous nut and bolts are for fastening, you realize just how amazing a simple nut and bolt is. Not to mention modern material science, the methods of designing, testing, and reproducing specific alloys suited to different uses metallurgists come up with. Imagine if every nut and bolt were still hand made by a blacksmith. Every one would be slightly different size, strength, and material grade. Something like a car would be ridiculously expensive and labor/skill intensive to manufacture or work on. Thank God for technological advances, making everyone's life immeasurably easier and better.

2:57 should be a meme. Something intensifies

Thank you very much - very helpful subtitles. Detailed steps 👍. Most of the other videos I searched only shows rows of machines churning out screws. But yours actually show the detailed processes, and in slow motion. Thanks !! Subscribed !

Her voice drives me nuts!

I swear 2:57 is the definition of intense

Kind of floored picturing a process like this for all of the various sizes of nuts and bolts. What a world we live in!

It's pretty amazing how the thread machine works, people have no idea the level of pressure exerted on the bolt to cut the threads. You would think there would be a faster way to cut the threads on the nut vs using a tap.

its impressive how cold forging is used , soft metal is turned into precise machined and hard bolts and that too with such a scale

Engineering so amazing as always! 🎉

The hex head bolt in the beginning is grade 8, the strongest commonly used bolt (not sure if there's a higher strength level). Grade 8 is designed by the six dashes radiating out from the center of the bolt head, Grade five, one of the last bolts shown, is designed by three dash marks radiating out from the bolt head. The metric equivalents of grades 8 and 5 are 12.9 and 10.9 respectively.

One of the better videos out there!

The narration is also good, clear and informative. Thank you very much.

i like these videos . informative.

They make it look easy. Making screws is an art form being lost. To see it done in real life and the amount of work going into setting up the machines is a test of ones character.

I have the same moto and pretty much the same build as yours. I deleted the smog part, most unneeded plastic covers, smaller LED lights, supermoto type of mirrors and lighter Renthal rear sprocket. Right now the motorcycle sits at 275lbs (125kgs) with a full tank of fuel (2gals). Is not light at the regular CRF450R or a KTM but is a really great bike and reliable.
