Love the raw machining, no music, and with talking held off till the end. Nice change of pace👏
-
Pure maching, no music, no commentary no nothing, love it!
-
That art-deco pineapple looks cool as hell.
-
Sitting in my car on lunch break... watching a video about what I do once I go back inside... there's something wrong with me. Loved this video though.
-
Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely impressed with the depth of cut that tool can withstand and how much heat it must be holding up to.
-
That was awesome...thanks for not ruining it with some ridiculous techno soundtrack like so many people do on YT.
-
I'm a machinist (and not a yacht owner), but that thing is so display-worthy as a roughed part.
While it might be an odd request, I'd probably have a finished part installed in the engine room and a roughed part installed in the living room as an art piece.
Maybe with the functional internals, critical tolerances, and mating surfaces made to spec so it could be used as a functional part in a pinch 😅
But that is cool as hell even if it's "just a valve".
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished part. -
The margin for error is nonexistent. And to think that one day this masterpiece of art could be spending eternity at the bottom of some ocean.
-
Why can’t we leave it like it is? I know some areas have to be finished, but as it stands….ITS A WORK OF ART!
-
if i had a choice i'd leave the outer surface like that, looks cool as hell, as long as you don't brush up against it, razor edge nightmare.
-
Those cuts are insane, you guys know your specs. No coolant, perfect speed and rotation for the chip to absorb all that heat.
-
Wow over 1200lbs😳😳 Those Kennametal Tools can really do some serious work!
-
it's always fun to watch a massive machine create an endless supply of flying razor blades that range from 570 to 800 + decrees (or so)
-
I don't know about others, but I figured they wanted it like this! It looks amazing just as it is!! If I was the customer I'd be cool with you stopping right there because then I'd have the coolest and most original ball valve ever!!
-
This thing is a piece of art as is
-
It's like watching a sculpture take shape. Nice work.
-
Probably my favorite video in the last year or so
-
The sound is scary and beautiful at the same time knowing the power and the precision machining it has!
-
The large portion of these videos are things we already do, but this is a beautiful piece of machining. Well done.
-
I love the art deco of the rough machining, I hope you left it that way.
