Aggressively Removing Over 100kg Of Metal (FAST!)

Today we’ve been given a rush job and have to remove over 100kg of metal from a solid billet of 4140 steel. We’ll be using all the big tools and making the Colchester Alpha 1760 earn its keep!

Enjoy.

ABOUT HAL HEAVY DUTY

We’re a real life machine shop for a 60 year old drilling company located in Central Queensland, Australia. Our job is to keep rigs running in the field – fixing all the stuff drillers break and creating all the custom gear they need to get the job done.

We run two CNC’s, manual repair lathes, a few mills and a big green Megabore Lathe we call “THE HULK”… and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful tools for odd (usually oversize) jobs.
