"Peeling feeling" net trend, in tools - videos

I've been largely ignoring the net's favorite new fetish: peeling videos. I guess I lumped them in with zit popping videos and such, or maybe a kind of visual ASMR. Videos of older peels ("OMG, I had no idea I was supposed to peel that plastic layer off 30 years ago; I'll do it right now!") are also analogous to the videos of long-sitting vehicles being started for the first time in years. There are some keepers though.

No need to throw away that bucket:

Nice floor stripping vid; of course floors rarely peel this nicely:

Now we know how these are made:

totally appealing

I thought I was over these up-close machining videos, that I had grown as a person and matured into an upstanding citizen of the web, enough such that I didn't have to watch them anymore.

I never tire of brute force judiciously applied to a sharp object slicing through steel or other materials leaving near perfect scrolls of shavings

This is half of why I watch Adam Booth's or Steve Summers' shaper episodes, it is hypnotic watching them. This looks like a large planer, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZWD8PlDwn4

Yep, fair-sized...for a garage.
TINY compared to "Niles Heavy Duty Planer Mill. Combines single point [or form tools] tooling on one ram and conventional 50 NM taper milling, 15-480 rpm on second ram, both mounted on cross rail, and 2 side heads attached at either column. The table measurements; 15' wide x 36' long, with 14' under the rail! A planer should reach 100%+ of it's table real estate; meaning the footprint was occupied by not less than 72' of guideways." But I only got to admire it, stationary after shutdown of Long Beach (CA) Naval Shipyard, awaiting it's fate. I'm positive it was scrapped.
In my very first shop, primarily doing mold work, ran everything except horizontal Lucas boring mill. Instead, one pet was a 8' x 40' Gray planer. Planers are great, especially press brake dies, tapered spars, molds like garage door seals, flatting weldments...
Mainly Joseph Whitworth is owed for his breakthroughs in mechanics to get planers effective. That's different than efficient, planing is still kind of special.

Just shows you why one needs to have a shaper, especially at four foot travel.

All of us like single point cutting; generation of proper chips and surface finish.
The hypnotic magic of lathes, shapers and planers? Simple. Comes from being able to see the action occur, even at 24 frames a second.

If I had any eye teeth I'd give them for a planer, sometimes the shaper just isn't big enough.
I have a folder on my computer called 'Machine Porn' and if I get annoyed about something 10 minutes watching metal peeling makes me feel good.

Glad it's not only me with such a folder. Gets a lot of use; I'm usually annoyed! So, when music doesn't work, chips might.
Shall I PM you some favorites?

Nice to see that planner mills still have a place in this world.

Peeling feeling flooring compilation. This one helps me understand the appeal of peeling feeling - if you squint hard enough, it looks like one of those up-close machining GIFs that we also enjoy.

This time of year, reminds me of snow plows. But I'll probably never get to drive one. I'll bet not one of these crewmen are familiar with planers or shapers...

Forget the Zamboni machine...I wanna drive a floor peeler machine.

Mr. Frank Zamboni, Paramount CA. Not just ice-rink surfacers, also an excellent motor winding shop. Adjacent to my hometown, therefore one of my inspirations.

I would have loved one when doing an( almost) "love job" reno on a neighbours floor. In the previous laying of the tiles, her husband had used that concrete/rubber fix stuff that took hours of jack hammering per sq metre. The vibration & white knuckle led me to do framing work every consecutive hour as a break.

The famous low "can opener" train trestle performs a perfect peel on a truck. 0:50 video:

11 foo 8 inch bridge has I believe been raised along with the safety barrier and still people drive high vehicles under it.

and he just keeps on driving...

The trestle was raised by 8". The yellow I-beam is at 12' 4" ("11'8" +8"). IIRC, the trestle itself is slightly higher than the cross beam. The guy who posts these videos (I think he owns the buildings where these cameras are mounted) has a series of videos that cover the raising process. It was very cool to see.

Why did they not stop? Are they so used to gut wrenching noise when they drive they didn't even notice they opened their trailer like a tin can??

Ipod & earphones? 70's heavy-metal rocker and can't hear artillery fire anymore? NO telling.

My guess is that they either pulled onto the street on the other side of the railroad bridge or into the parking lot on the left just beyond that. You can't see either because the elevated railroad blocks them. Most driver stop right after the bridge, though a few get out of the way before stopping. You can see that the driver hesitated a moment after hitting the I-beam.

Sweet. Instant sunroof machine.

Clever technique that results in a great peel.

I am just a little disappointed than it did not end back where it started so it would be an endless path. BUT... not so disappointed to take anything away from how awesome that process is.

Looked like a mask for the glaze. Would be neat to see the whole process.
