This 38-minute video from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia documents the troubleshooting and repair process of "The MOAC" tool that was performing poorly during a hydraulic cylinder repair job. Follow along as the team initially suspects warping from the tufftriding process but discovers the actual problem lies with the arbor being significantly out of specification. Learn how they diagnose the issue using a dial indicator to measure run out on all faces of the arbor, then watch the complete repair process involving re-cutting the taper, setting up the compound angle on the lathe, and creating a custom fixture to ensure proper alignment. The video culminates with reassembly and testing to verify if the repairs successfully restored The MOAC's cutting performance. Part of a larger series on The MOAC tool, this practical engineering troubleshooting demonstration shows real-world problem-solving in a machine shop environment.
