The mark of a good craftsman is when he worries about the fit and finish of a part that no one else will ever see.

Personal piss off is those that don’t de-burr. Even if it’s hidden I do it anyway, pure and simple laziness from some.

@@michaelslee4336 it's taught in school for so long its just automated😄. those who don't deburr and skip other basics usualy or always show in the rest of their work too. sloppyness or untrained, incompetence or i dont know 😄😂😎

Well you know, the first thing every person that looks at your finished project is going to climb underneath and look at that transmission bolt. Quit being so hard on yourself. That looks like a fine repair to me.

@carlblaser3320 4 года назад

The devil is in the details. This is just a possibility but if that bolt holes had split while being romped on he could've been looking for a new transmission case

@philipershler420 4 года назад

No doubt that the repair had to be done. And I thought the final result looked pretty damn good. I was just trying to tell him there was no reason to apologize for the final appearance.

@troyd-motorsport9933 4 года назад

if you do gunk up your carbide bit, just put it in drain cleaner and the aluminium dissolves straight off it ;) (old machinists trick)

@mattmoilanen3813 4 года назад

@@troyd-motorsport9933 Ya that's what anodizers do when they de smut aluminum. Or just rub chalk on the burr as well.

Beeswax works amazing on any aluminum grinding and cutting 👍

Dip it in WD40 will help keep it clear also.

In a pinch, aluminum burns off at a lower temperature than carbide. * Just thought of this, because I wanted to add a tip too. Let me know if it works?

@davidparker9676 4 года назад

Nice Job. I enjoy your videos. Great tip using the SS bolt. It's been a few years since I've done any TIG welding but I would do something similar. I would use the carbide burr to remove the outer layer of metal that forms after boiling all the bubbles and contaminants out of the aluminum. When I went to weld over it again it turned out perfect and clean.

@OzGecko 4 года назад

Nice work. The only concern I would have is ensuring that the flat face around the repaired hole is in the right place so that things still bolt up flat and square. Perhaps run a straight edge across from some of the other mounting holes to ensure that?
