Making a MONSTER Hex Socket for a Hydraulic Nut Buster! | Shop Made Tools

We’re taking a chunk of solid steel and high tensile plates and transforming them into a custom hex socket, designed to torque up giant nuts for cylinder rods on a hydraulic nut buster. This isn’t your average DIY tool, we’re diving deep into the world of metalworking, using precision machining, milling and welding to create this robust and hefty piece of tooling. From the initial machining of the weld prep to the final touches on the milling machine, every step is captured in detail. We'll guide you through the process, from drilling and boring to welding and finishing, as we shape this raw material into a powerful tool. And then the final test, to see how the huge nut fits in the socket and how this tool looks in the hydraulic nut buster! 💪🛠 In this video we are using: Hafco 261260G Centre Lathe Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine WIA 500i Weldmatic welder Check out all of our Shop Made Tools videos here:    • Shop Made Tools   Don't forget to: 👍Give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it! 🔔Subscribe & hit the notification bell so you never miss a new video. 📝Leave a comment below and let us know what you think!
