It's been one a heck of a week in the shop! • We've just upgraded our big Alpha Colchester 1760 Lathe (HAL) with a brand new shop made cross-slide bar holder equipped with three shop made tools, specifically for all the biggest jobs. • 1) The KRAKEN - a 110mm shop made HTS style drill • 2) The HYDRA - an 85mm (40kg) shop made multi-headed bar • 3) The BEAST - a 95mm bar (780mm long) for hogging out • In this video we test out THE HYDRA in some of the worst cutting conditions imaginable - elliptical, interrupted and filled with weld.

An extremely challenging setup, matched only by the horrible cutting conditions. • Let's get machining... • WATCH NEXT: • The MegaDrill Project • The Megadrill Project (A 3m Drill bit... • Monster Drill Rods • Machining a MONSTER Drill Thread (It'... • About HAL Heavy Duty: • We're a real life machine shop for a 60 year old drilling company located in Central Qld, Australia. Our job is to keep rigs running in the field, constantly making the gear they need to get the job done. We run two CNC's, manual repair lathes, mills and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful shop made tools to get the job done. We're a little shop that takes on big projects. The latest is our MEGADRILL project where we're manufacturing a 3.0m drill bit that'll weigh upward of 20 tonnes. We release one video a week (usually on Friday/Saturday) to give you all a window into our heavy duty world. • • #australianmachinist #machinistlife #machineshoplife #cnclife #heavydutyequipment #australiandrilling
