Greg, it is so rewarding to see these worn oval holes made true again. I have my backhoe that needs this and would like to buy the equipment to do it with. I have other jobs I could do also! Great video!
Great content as always. Suggested on leveling the bars to each other, as a toolmaker I would suggest the use of a machinist level instead of the digital level. It will be much higher accuracy, especially once you get use to reading the bubble. You can see changes in the bubble that the digital level will never display. You may not need this level of accuracy but I figured I'd suggest it as you seem to be a person that enjoys continuously improving their quality of work.
@@OFW just curious have you ever checked the level you use. It's says it's accurate to .1 of a degree, which would be roughly .002 per foot. I'm wondering if it is truly that accurate, I've always been sceptical of digital measuring tools. Could slip feeler gauges under it to check it.
Can anyone recommend a flux core welding glove? I'm burning through generic gloves real quick, & I can't find harbor freight's or any on ebay... Apologies for the rabbit trail Greg & thanks again for doing what you do
Wondering on your parallel bar method; the level got reversed 180 degrees and still showed the .10 measurement but was the deviation reversed too? In other words by switching sides and flipping the level's direction was the difference between the bars null or .10 + .10??
You are the Man in welding. The best thing about your channel is the versatility. You take on all kinds of repairs. You should be proud of yourself as i am sure yoi ate.
Can you provide a website or phone number to buy a removal/installation tools to remove and replace bushings I ready have a hollow hydraulic piston. Thanks mobile welder Rene( Founder Welding Works) appreciate all your videos you show my respect to you and again thank you very much for
I have a fork truck tip, when picking up items like the bucket tilt the forks forward until they are touching the ground. As you move under the item slowly lift the forks and they will normally slide under the piece you are trying to pick up.
The cost of S-Power in China is $1900. The seller who offered to advertise this machine sells it for $7,500. In the USA, for 10k you can buy decent equipment, and not this pathetic semblance of a CLIMEX with a gearbox from a dough kneading machine
I don't know if this would work, but where your table supports have bent.Why not put 2 legs on there on each side?To go down to the floor with feet.And then when this same press as a push against the floor
Everything about taking the bushings and submerging them in liquid nitrogen to cool them off. Leave the bushings in the liquid nitrogen for about 10 minutes and they will contract and you can easily slide them in to the hole you just machined. Let the bushings warm up and they will appear as if you pressed them in with your hydraulic press. Food for thought my friend.
Does the s-power unit have to go upright? I wonder if it would be easier to set up if the unit wasn’t top-heavy. I also wonder if the unit has enough torque to handle two rough cuts at the same time (if the bar were long enough).
800 divided with 17 rods is 47 Amp per rod which is not very much. But what kind of welding rod is used on 800 Amps. And when do you use 800 Amps. I know they use 300 Amps for heavy excavator buckets but 800 Amps sounds way overkill...
I use 800 amps for carbon gouging. And if two guys were gouging it would be 400 each which is still pretty efficient. But welding wise 400 amps is about the most I go.
7:00 Not to be nitpicky but were you showing that 0.10 is essentially zero, or were you showing that the 0.10 was the same on both sides? Since you flipped the ends of the level as you walked around to the other side, it should have shown 0.10 and -0.10 right, if they were exactly the same pitch. Right?
There seems to be a lot of little details to assemble and disassemble the drive to the bearings. Would adding some sort of quick connection to the assembly reduce the accuracy?
Great job like usual Greg I just built a complete dump trailer to use with my quad,from scrap metal obtained at our local dump,so I can feel your joy 😂😂
Over the years I have found that a chewing tobacco can makes a pretty good tap, die and drill lube storage container. I just fill it lube of chose and dip the tool in it. Gluing a magnet to the can be really helpful.
