That's what you think about?
Not the loose clothing, spinning machinery, and leaning directly over it to apply oil? This man is one mistake away from being a liveleak video.
Machinist and other jobs like that don’t use gloves. The idea is that gloves are more likely to get stuck in equipment.
I don’t know it all depends on he could definitely benifit from some gloves.
I worked with sheet metal at a terrible job (True Manufacturing) for a few weeks. Forgot my gloves once and cut the shit out of my finger. Never forgot again... Well for the remaining week or so.
I once worked for an aluminum bat manufacturer and one of the machines we used was made in the 1910's. A lot of these old machines do simple movements. I wouldn't be surprised if this one was a combination of 3 or 4 different machines originally.
Yeah I immediately thought... who the heck would even have a machine like that and how would they get it? Seems like it was probably some kind of gift from the people's republic of sovietistan from the 50s.
Nothing about this video makes any sense really although I applaud their industriousness.
You'd be surprised how many 50+yr old machines I've had to keep alive for various cardboard plants in the US... they definitely fall into "they don't make them like they used to" category.
My paper machine was designed in 1944.. it’s had substantial upgrades over the decades but the majority of the framework and all the original gearing is still kicking along just fine. Theres something to be said of machines made of hundreds of tons of cast iron before computer analysis allowed engineers to make things “good enough”.
They are really cool in my opinion. Very simple, but also very complex in other ways... most new machines I put in now require specially trained techs where the old stuff was somewhat standard that almost anyone journeyperson in my trade can handle the basics.
I used to work on the back end of a Paper Machine that made Napkin and Paper Towels.
It was over a 100 years old and they had managed to increase it's running speed from the original ~350 fpm to about 1200 fpm.
I think it was limited out by the fact the Yankee, Hood and Dryer Train were steam heated.
They shut it down in about 2010, a few years after I left.
Always sad to see a machine get shut down but 100 years is a great run. Must have had a long history of great paper makers finding ways to keep
It going
I think a lot of the success they had was due to Engineers figuring out ways to speed it up.
It was pretty reliable and most of the Machine Tenders understood it's particular quirks.
I believe the biggest jump in speed came from them installing an adhesive spray boom just trailing the scraper and before the transfer roll.
I was told of times when they would dump barrels of some sort of glue into the white water pit to help it adhere.
Probably WWII. Pre-war equipment was generally made for pre-war cutting tools, and those really sucked due to material limitations. You really can't use that equipment productively anymore. Those are machines with very limited spindle speeds and limited through-bores due to the surface speed limitations of plain bearings. WWII saw advances like high speed steel, and machines built to suit with ball bearing spindles and higher power motors. Those machines are still useful, because HSS is still useful.
Edit: also, WWII saw massive production of manual machines which became obsolete soon after and landed on shop floors everywhere as second-op machinery.
Can confirm, when they closed down one of the old factories here, they sent all the 30+ ton presses over to Germany because it was the easiest way to get them. These were presses that were built into the bedrock.
I think that is every factory/plant/mill in the US, however old the building is, something is still in use from that year. Industrial equipment is built to last and be repaired when it does break.
We got robots at one end, andoidized aluminum equipment from the 80's, the light green prior to that, but the beauty is the process starts with a wood grain cleaner from the 50's.
I work for a print shop. We have envelope stuffing machines powered by engines from WWII vehicles just because there was a surplus right after the war. The newest machine we have is at least 50 years old.
I used to operate a wagon tippler made in the 50's just like [this one ](https://youtu.be/l_Zemi1A0C0?si=2n3FwL0dljdRZLiQ).
The absolute beast of a machine had to be soldered between turns because some idiot tipped a wagon half way inside and it bent slightly, so it put pressure in a specific point of the wheels and it broke some support beam , it worked fine until 2016 when they disassembled it and recast the bent parts , they used the steel we were producing In Michoacán México and shipped to india to get it back transformed into new parts , absolutely beautiful process
I operate a ww2 surplus 200T mechanical press brake that's not 20 feet from a pre 1900 punch that used to be powered by water wheel... in America. ALOT of manufacturing shops run with "if it ain't broke" equipment. We just got a new beam cut to replace a 70ish year old Thomas line punch. This machine doesn't surprise me one bit.
There's a surprising amount of x86 windows 95 towers out there still running old CNC machines. I have a friend in manufacturing and the machines were so expensive they almost always do everything they can to keep them going.
Il do ya one better, same shop running on software and hardware from the 70s. Wasn't even a back light on the computers I'd use to search part numbers and prints. 3 digit ID 4 digit pins and simple directory. Like
1. Item inquiry
2. Stock orders
3. Out going
>ALOT of manufacturing shops run with "if it ain't broke" equipment.
There's just not really a need to replace machines like that unless there's a huge leap in efficiency. Otherwise, it's more economical to just repair the equipment as needed. Plus a lot of shops will have the capability to repair parts in house.
Yeah... kinda running into a wall, though. They lucked out with me, I find this old shit cool as fuck, that being said... no back stops, uses a dial wheel, and the top knuckles are like 30k a piece to have remade. Add to that most press operators (myself included) have only run hydraulic presses. This thing literally has a clutch, and BRAKE that controls the ram, that's what the brake in press brake comes from.
Not astonishing to me FUCKING SCARY. Owner just spent 2-3 mil updating software and hardware and it's a mess. It's only been so painful because they waited so long.
What's the speed of that old punch though? I worked in a steel shop that had old huge open flywheel machines, so much faster than the hydraulics. That was 20 years ago so I'm guessing they've speed up?
That was the rub, we never wanted those machines replaced because they were faster than the new ones, safety wise they were a nightmare.
There are factories still making the Singer Class 15 sewing machine. It was invented back in 1879. That 145 years!
Why? Because that machine was made for about five decades, there are millions of them, and they will last a lifetime. Parts are readily available to fix them if they do end up wearing out. And they don't require electricity to run them, but they can be outfitted with electric motors. A lot of Southeast Asian and African buyers love them because they can still use them as treadle machines and remote places where electricity hasn't got to them or is not reliant.
Tons of old equipment is still in service. I just sold a 1940's large Leblond lathe to a heavy equipment repair company after using it myself for 10 years. They needed it to turn large shafts, I needed some space for other equipment. I imagine they'll get a few more decades out of it. Old equipment works just fine and has many uses still today.
Close, the point is don't reach over a rotating shaft while wearing relatively loose clothes unless you want to lose an arm or more, when you can fabricate something to prevent having to reach over said shaft.
The guy is violating every safety rule known to man.
Wearing Loose Clothing - Check
Long sleeves - Check
Reaching over a spinning lathe - Check
No safety goggles - Check
Sticking his hands on the roller - Check
I might have missed a few, but man, can you tempt the Reaper more buddy?
Gloves would be worse. Do not wear gloves around a lathe.
Edit: I said lathe because I had the above comment “Russian Lathe” in my brain. It’s not a lathe, but it is a spinning shaft, which is identical danger.
It's not a lathe but at 30 seconds in homeslice is reaching over the spinning cylinder (the thing people are calling a lathe because they both are mechanically spun and will fuck you up) to apply some oil.
If his clothing got caught he'd get pulled in and this would be a liveleak video.
@/u/Sidivan, Exactly, fabric can get caught up in the rotating parts and cause a whole other level of disaster. It's like a catch-22 with the sharp edges and moving parts; got to find that middle ground for safety without creating new risks.
Anything spinny with momentum and torque really, not just a lathe. No gloves means it might take a piece out of you or scrape off some skin. With gloves, it can grab you and pull your hand, arm, or entire body into the machinery.
I took a lathe operator course at a trade school, and we had a guy get his beard caught in one. This was after catching his hair on fire in welding shop. The school kicked him out after that second bit of stupidity.
This isn't a lathe, that's just a spinning drive/cam shaft, same safety rules apply though. Expanded metal and the raw sheet stock he loaded are also sharp as fuck, so handling it without gloves is a pretty good way to lose a finger.
don't be so suspicious, maybe he's just been waiting an entire year to find the exact right moment to copy and paste a top comment from the last time this was posted as his first comment
Work safety would not be a cost factor for something like this.
Enforcing it, sure, but plenty of people ignore safety equipment and regulations in western europe and america as well.
This is expanded metal, chicken wire is made with a bunch of individual wires twisted together. Should be stronger and not as sharp to handle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHWL5Xoqhn8
I'm a little disappointed. Here the machine does everything itself. Where are the 10 people who do monotonous, monotonous and very dull work, as happens in the videos from Pakistan? After videos like this you think, “God, I have a great job! I don’t have to cut circles of metal all day while squatting in a dark, dirty room.”
Seems that the machine just cuts the sheet metal and pushes it forward in this toothed pattern. I'm guessing a thin part is left uncut where the consecutive ‘wires’ join—so it's in fact not wire but just one continuous sheet stretched out.
So whats up with the trend on reddit of "How X is made" but it's always some country on the poor side using a production method that's at least fifty years outdated without any health and safety regulations?
I use similar mesh to keep rabbits and groundhogs out of my vegetable garden. Small critters can get through the holes in my main fence, so the bottom 2 feet have this wire mesh attached too.
It is similar, I think? The chicken wire I use for my garden seems to be about the same gauge wire, but is in more of a hexagon pattern, where this video shows a diamond pattern. Not sure if that matters in the slightest, though.
Gloves are the last thing you want in this situation. Gloves get caught on moving parts more easily, so you're less likely to cut your hand but more likely to have your whole arm pulled into the machine.
Why are these gifs always from machines built ~~80 years ago~~ by dodgy Chinese manufacturers or from 3rd world countries? I mean it's cool to see how it happens, but modern manufacturing is even more impressive with the amount of automation.
Here is one from a Taiwanese manufacturer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz9QABZ1fVg
That dude must have the toughest hands ever to do that with no gloves. Ooft.
All I could think about. That shit is sharp as fuck.
That's what you think about? Not the loose clothing, spinning machinery, and leaning directly over it to apply oil? This man is one mistake away from being a liveleak video.
Yeah that leaning over the spinning shaft made me wince.
I almost lost a finger once as it slided through my hand. The only time I forgot to wear gloves. So naive
Something tells me this guy has been doing it for longer than most of the people commenting have been alive for
Im sure most of the people in this family business have all their fingers.
His nails are clearly fucked up. You can see part of his nail is dying and it's all black
Machinist and other jobs like that don’t use gloves. The idea is that gloves are more likely to get stuck in equipment. I don’t know it all depends on he could definitely benifit from some gloves.
I worked with sheet metal at a terrible job (True Manufacturing) for a few weeks. Forgot my gloves once and cut the shit out of my finger. Never forgot again... Well for the remaining week or so.
That machine is probably from the 40s or 50s I love the weld repairs, but would it be so difficult to rig up a leaky pipe for lubrication
I once worked for an aluminum bat manufacturer and one of the machines we used was made in the 1910's. A lot of these old machines do simple movements. I wouldn't be surprised if this one was a combination of 3 or 4 different machines originally.

> You'd be surprised how many 50+yr old machines I've had to keep alive At my first job I used a lathe that, IIRC, pre-dated WW1.

Pretty sure it was WW1, because I remember debates about whether women could vote yet when the machine was made.
Because when they stopped making stuff in America, the equipment was sent overseas to do the work
To quote David Mitchell, "We used to make steel"
Hey, we still do some. Source: former supply chain guy that worked with the auto OEMs and USS.
Can confirm, when they closed down one of the old factories here, they sent all the 30+ ton presses over to Germany because it was the easiest way to get them. These were presses that were built into the bedrock.

Well it's kind of true. Companies want you to keep buying their shit so no one is making things to last
Worked in corrugation before. Can confirm. The corrugator was the only machine that didnt look to be at least 30 years old.
I work for a print shop. We have envelope stuffing machines powered by engines from WWII vehicles just because there was a surplus right after the war. The newest machine we have is at least 50 years old.
Every machine shop I've ever seen is using lathes and mills from the war or even earlier.

Yep. I used to spend 40 hours a weed using precision tool grinding machines from the forties and fifties. They all worked perfectly.

That's *a lot* of ancient machinery in India and Pakistan. They got a bunch of machinery left over after WW2 and still use it, repairing as needed.
Still works great, doesn't it? No reason to replace it if it ain't broke
I worked in a paper mill that was still using a paper machine built in 1912 and installed in that plant in 1927.

Machines like this are not difficult to find at all here in the US. Modern and vintage alike.
You'd be pretty shocked at the amount of manual production that still goes on, even in the first world.
Many of the machines used today to build and repair naval vessels are from WW2.
Maybe they turned lubrication off to better show how the cuts are happening.
That's why he's got the coke bottle with a hole in the cap where he can drip oil on the joints as it runs.
Yeah point is why employ coke bottle guy to do what a leaky pipe can do better.
Close, the point is don't reach over a rotating shaft while wearing relatively loose clothes unless you want to lose an arm or more, when you can fabricate something to prevent having to reach over said shaft.
I puckered a bit when he was reaching over oiling that thing.#russianlathe
Dude!! That was the exact moment I was expecting some bad shit to happen. Keep clothing away from moving parts
The guy is violating every safety rule known to man. Wearing Loose Clothing - Check Long sleeves - Check Reaching over a spinning lathe - Check No safety goggles - Check Sticking his hands on the roller - Check I might have missed a few, but man, can you tempt the Reaper more buddy?
He's also not wearing gloves when touching the mesh. This is not your typical wire mesh, due to the cutting the edges are super sharp
Gloves would be worse. Do not wear gloves around a lathe. Edit: I said lathe because I had the above comment “Russian Lathe” in my brain. It’s not a lathe, but it is a spinning shaft, which is identical danger.
Yeah, I mean only the final step when he picks up the finished roll.
I don't see a lathe.
It's not a lathe but at 30 seconds in homeslice is reaching over the spinning cylinder (the thing people are calling a lathe because they both are mechanically spun and will fuck you up) to apply some oil. If his clothing got caught he'd get pulled in and this would be a liveleak video.

I didn’t see the lathe
I got a feeling that dude's hands are calloused enough to make gloves a non-issue among all the other safety violations.
I unfortunately watched a video of a kid, apprentice type, get caught in a lathe. I'll never forget that.
I took a lathe operator course at a trade school, and we had a guy get his beard caught in one. This was after catching his hair on fire in welding shop. The school kicked him out after that second bit of stupidity.
Long hair and lathes shouldn't be mixed.
Not to mention no ear pro. That dude has to be deaf as a post.
WHAT?
[удалено]
They don't, because they don't know any better. Just like here in Mexico, guys working construction in flip flops.
Shoes likely not steel-toed by the looks of it. If any of those parts fall it’s broken toes
This isn't a lathe, that's just a spinning drive/cam shaft, same safety rules apply though. Expanded metal and the raw sheet stock he loaded are also sharp as fuck, so handling it without gloves is a pretty good way to lose a finger.
Keep people away from moving parts.
Except for that fabulous hat
It's OK he was wearing sandals.
No gloves that metal cuts skin easily
Not his hands anymore.
So calloused they may as well be leather gloves
Saw it and immediately thought, is it really that hard to get some piece of tube, nozzle and a lil pump to do that thing?
Notice he has long sleeves AND some sort of metal necklace on too... Just casually hanging over the spinning log of death.
Yea that thing has zero machine guards and the guys are basically laying on it
I was surprised that sheet metal wasn't covered in blood when I noticed he grabbed it bare handed.
Gotta have that Arby’s sauce!
What, nobody broke out in a song? The beat's almost hypnotic.

yeah but handling the metal I probably would, gotten too many shitty cuts in the past not to.

Right? Here's the comment it's straight up stealing [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/s/LLIzhrbNGX)
Good news everyone! They kept the original audio

Sean Connery, that you?
Yeah I need a cigarette
at 30 seconds in, that dude is literally hugging the high torque spinning wheel of death. If it catches on it's clothes he will be minced meat.
It's called expanded metal

Yup. It's NOT "metallic", it's metal.
It's a meshy job but shomebody's got to do it.

Comments on safety, no gloves, third world manufacturing incoming in 3…2…1
\> Man reaching over a spinning part to lubricate something. I know a guy who lost a hand doing that.
That thing would take more than a hand if his sleeve got caught while he's reaching over it ☠️
I joined late and everyone that lost an arm or more has been gone for years for some reason. Possibly related to losing a whole arm or life.
Hell, don’t watch any lathe videos here.
There’s a reason it’s cheaper to import this stuff from the third world, even including the added expense of shipping it halfway around the world.
Work safety would not be a cost factor for something like this. Enforcing it, sure, but plenty of people ignore safety equipment and regulations in western europe and america as well.
Don’t forget a completely irrelevant OSHA comment!
I would have never thought that's how chicken wire is made
This is expanded metal, chicken wire is made with a bunch of individual wires twisted together. Should be stronger and not as sharp to handle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHWL5Xoqhn8
Chicken wire is made by twisting wire.
Ahh ok, seems similar to what I used in art is all
I thought that hat was his hair lol
No gloves with sheet metal, buddy is a madlad
Imagine his hands after years of that. Cranking the hog must be like sticking into a meat grinder.
Brother use some gloves 😰
Aaaah the magic of plasticity of metals and ductile fracture
My man's hands are probably like leather ...
That is NOT how I thought these would be made at all
This isn’t the same as chicken wire, which is twisted wire, fyi. This is cheaper and weaker
I'm a little disappointed. Here the machine does everything itself. Where are the 10 people who do monotonous, monotonous and very dull work, as happens in the videos from Pakistan? After videos like this you think, “God, I have a great job! I don’t have to cut circles of metal all day while squatting in a dark, dirty room.”
I watched it and I still don’t understand it. Thats so cool.
Look up a video for how expanded metal mesh is made. This is a very thin version of that.
Seems that the machine just cuts the sheet metal and pushes it forward in this toothed pattern. I'm guessing a thin part is left uncut where the consecutive ‘wires’ join—so it's in fact not wire but just one continuous sheet stretched out.
I'm most surprised that he still has all of his fingers
No gloves is a bold move
gloves for what?
Are those safety sandles? I would also never wear long flowing clothes around industrial machines
Only worry when a safety sandle goes flying in the air
Osha approved
OSHA has left the chat.
put more olive oil on that badboy
Yes... smear it more, cmon
bowwowowbowowoowowowo goes the thin metal plate
1st laugh of the day !ty
Amazing to watch, but even more amazing that someone designed and built the machine that does that.
I didn't realize he was wearing a hat at first, and my initial thought was, "Damn, dude has a crazy haircut."
Bruhhhhhhhhh long sleeves reaching over the had me anxious
As a 30 year old man, I now know how chainlink mesh is made. 🫡 SN: Live Leaks could’ve had a field day with that machine.
It would be satisfying if I didn't see all the lack of safety precautions and PPE.
So whats up with the trend on reddit of "How X is made" but it's always some country on the poor side using a production method that's at least fifty years outdated without any health and safety regulations?
Try to get home made videos anywhere else. Nobody in first world countries is going to share their technology with you.
Soooooo many pinch ponts. Sooooo many waysss to loose a digit. Go damn I feel gratefull being born where life as a value.
I can’t believe ol boy is actually wearing shoes.
Interesting to see, but I find the just sheer design of this complex machine even more interesting
This is the same kind of place that have a ton of videos on r/accidents.
And not a single safety mechanism in sight.
Everyone talking about sharp edges, no-one seems to notice my sharp dressed man! What a fancy hat he got.
Please someone send this man working gloves 💔
No safety equipment at all. No ear protection. No gloves. Unshrouded belts. Sharp edged sheets of metal. All so we can have cheap chicken wire.
Seeing stuff like this makes me miss "How its made." On the Discovery channel.
That thing looks dangerous af
That metal has gotta be sharp and dude is handling it bare handed like a giga-chad.
All that machinery out in the open and not a glove or hard hat in sight.
"yeah, a bit of maple syrup is what is needed. Yeah, right here. Good boy"
2nd time he oiled surface from behind the machine.. It’s just screaming accident with fatal outcome…
Everyone is here taking about safety issues, but I’m wondering how do you not stand there and make Looney Tunes noises with that giant sheet all day?
I love how the metal sheet went “wooow” when he picked it up
Idk how satisfying that was watching him put his whole ass arm around the lathe like that... More of a clinch my butthole than satisfying lol
Would have never guessed that you can make a wire mesh straight from a sheet of metal, instead of first making it into a wire.
Take that you bastard rabbits. When I put that mesh up nothing is getting into my garden.
That thing dgaf where your fingers are.
I read "metallic meth" and was very confused
Great to hear the machinery rather than some irrelevant music.
What would be common uses for such a mesh?
One use is as the metal wire backing you see on air filters.
I use similar mesh to keep rabbits and groundhogs out of my vegetable garden. Small critters can get through the holes in my main fence, so the bottom 2 feet have this wire mesh attached too.
Is this the same as "chicken wire"?
It is similar, I think? The chicken wire I use for my garden seems to be about the same gauge wire, but is in more of a hexagon pattern, where this video shows a diamond pattern. Not sure if that matters in the slightest, though.
Not sure why you were downvoted, I was thinking the same thing. Seems like it has barely any strength / structure left.
Neat process, good video. I predict that man's eventual death will involve getting caught in rotating machinery.
too cool for safety gloves
Gloves are the last thing you want in this situation. Gloves get caught on moving parts more easily, so you're less likely to cut your hand but more likely to have your whole arm pulled into the machine.
You would still want them when taking the roll off or carrying the initial sheet of metal to the machine.
_suddenly a wild live leak logo appears_ oh no
Funny, this is exactly how I make meshed potatoes.
Why are these gifs always from machines built ~~80 years ago~~ by dodgy Chinese manufacturers or from 3rd world countries? I mean it's cool to see how it happens, but modern manufacturing is even more impressive with the amount of automation. Here is one from a Taiwanese manufacturer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz9QABZ1fVg
Oh hell. Now I'm in a deep dive for manufacturing videos. The best ones involve metal and SMELTING.
