Making a BIG Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Eye, Part 1

This video is part 1 of a job we did to make a new BIG hydraulic rod and eye for a Hitachi EX12006 Excavator bucket cylinder. The rod has a lot of scratches and the eye is completely torn off the rod and has fatigue so we are making a whole new cylinder rod and eye. This shows the step by step process to make the eye including machining, milling, drilling, facing boring. We start with a 200mm chunk of steel plate and turn it into the hydraulic cylinder rod eye ready to be fit and welded on to the new rod that we make in Part 2 In this video we are using: HMP150T Hydraulic press TM26120G Centre Lathe BM63VE Milling machine Everising H360HA horizontal bandsaw Join our channel: We upload new videos every Friday at 5pm AEST If you want to see more of our videos click LIKE SUBSCRIBE You can subscribe to our channel here: To see more follow us on online here: Instagram Facebook
