Making BIG Hex Bolts | K&W Facing Borer Upgrade | Part 2

We are continuing the upgrades for our Kitchen & Walker Horizontal Facing Borer! Now we need to make the new bolts that will go through the column and into the riser block on the facing borer. The bolts are 450mm (17 ¾” inches) long and in this video we show the step by step of machining the 6 new bolts using round bar and turning it into hex bolts. We start with rough turning the OD of the high tensile round bar and cut the external threads. We also need to mill the ends of the bolts into a hex and to do that we use our Super Indexer on the milling machine. We finish the bolts off by giving the ends a quick tidy up on the lathe and buff with a buffing wheel. How do you think the new bolts turned out!?
