Bolts for MEN!!!!!

Postby D.Nickerson » Thu Jan 17, 2008 7:39 pm

The guys up in the machine shop have been working on theses things for the past few days. 6" sqaure stock is what they're made from. Alot of wasted material, but that's what the customer wanted. Not too bad to do, they just put it in the CNC and walk away for awhile. :D They're for one of the quarries we do work for, very big company. They are 4"-4, meaning they are 4" in diameter and 4 threads per inch. :shock: They are about 24" long and weigh around 90-100 pounds each. Takes a little more than a 3/8" impact for these things.

I'm curious, can you tell me how much each of those costs? Be nice to stand one up in the shop for a curiosity. :D

Doug , those are awsome 8)

I do have a dumb question: I notice one has a hex nut on it. You said the bolt was 4"-4. Is that a "standard" thread? Did the nut have to be fabricated also?

must be fun. A local machine shop made some about that size, or maybe a little bigger for Ameren UE, but the ones he made were over 6 feet long.

Only got one dumb question for you...

The threads on those bolts are larger in diameter than the shaft of the bolt. If the threads fit through the bolt hole, won't it "wobble" in there once the nut is tight? If the shaft is the right size for the hole, how do the threads fit through...

Just a rookie question when it comes to bolts!

I am betting each bolt has its own custom nut marked to match.........

The thread pitch will keep it from wobbling.

Mike, Good eye. It is undercut for a reason, and I don't know what it is. The company that we did them for has a lot of specialty things that require some custom machining. Usualy the parts that don't make it down to the weld shop I don't know a whole lot about.

rjmac, I'm not sure what they cost, the boss told me they were T&M and hasn't figured it out yet. I'm guessing ballpark about $600-$900. :shock:

Yes Vince, it is a standard thread, if you can call something like that standard. Usually when bolts are that big, the manufacture of the product will make them as they need them. So I guess a trip to the hardware store is out. :D

John, 6 foot long, :shock: there is some weight there!

1835Wayne, no, actually them boys can do alright up there. That CNC we have is pretty good with thread cutting. There was only one thread that I remember that gave them boys a hard time, but got it after some problems were straightened out, left handed acme thread.

Blueclawz, just make sure you retorque those things after a few hours. especially when you hook that cub up to the 6 bottom plow.

Make sure they put some antisieze on the threads! Might be hard to break the rust later! 8) 8) 8)
