Making Heavy Duty Adjustable Pin Spanners - Shop Made Tools

This tutorial demonstrates the complete fabrication process of heavy-duty adjustable pin spanners designed to improve efficiency during hydraulic cylinder repairs. Follow along as the Cutting Edge Engineering Australia team transforms laser-cut high tensile plate through milling, drilling, and tapping operations to create durable shop tools. Learn how they machine replacement pins from high tensile bolts on their Hafco TM-1740G lathe, ensuring parts can be easily replaced if damaged. The 34-minute video showcases practical machining techniques using equipment like the Hafco BM-63VE milling machine while explaining how these versatile tools eliminate the need for creating one-off spanners for each repair job. Perfect for machinists, fabricators, and anyone interested in creating custom shop tooling for industrial applications.
