Damn, there was a huge amount of metal removal from that pin even before the video started. And, as always, impeccable concentricity, especially considering the scale of the part.
Hi Chris, can you elaborate at all on what this pulley system is going to be used for, is it for a cable car or such like, fantastic work as always, cheers.
Cómo has quitado el óvalo de la pieza? Poniendo los máximos de óvalo al par de las garras? Te ha dejado apretar la pieza con un mínimo de fuerza para mecanizar la sin peligro? Saludos y buen trabajo como siempre.
What the pin...? (...I thought when I saw the title.) I mean, what's a thrust pin? That doesn't look like a pin at all, so maybe Uncle Google would help me with that? Yeah, he did. The first result with a "thrust pin" in it was _"Rope Pulley Assembly | Thrust Pin and Bearing Bush Machining, Chris Maj"_ Oh, them wonders of modern internet, mać... Will have to watch it till the end to find out... ;-)
I know you know what you're doing and I know that's one of those serious clamps, but seeing all that mass dangling from a clamp on a smooth parallel surface made me nervous, hah.
Hey Chris, I asked cee and abom79 about this and it seems I can't get an answer and since I'm in the states I really don't want to pay shipping from Australia. Kurtis from cee uses hardened chrome bars, what is the us equivalent of that? He also gets stuff coated with titanium nitride, what is our name? What I need essentially is a 2 inch hole punch designed to cut 2 inch diameter circles of sandpaper. It needs an end cap of some sort and a spring to push it back up after cutting. The other part is in 2 parts, one to hold the bar properly and some kind of slide screw that is there only to keep it captive and aligned with the cutting edge. Both of these welded to some plate in back to keep them aligned. I would also like to punch holes in the direct center of these somehow for a dremel type mandrel. The next part of the project is 2 hardened washers in each size from 1 inch to 2 inches all with the same diameter center hole as the mandrel and as thick as aluminum hard drive platters. These titanium nitride. One last item, I used mandrel from a company "pinecar racing" they sold to help sand the wheels. I went to my supplier yesterday hobby lobby and they switched brands so I will need a few mandrel made with long screws, flathead, half inch long screw. Let me know what I need to accomplish all this. Dellr007@yahoo.com
Hi Chris, i was wondering about your lathe that does it have memory for your geometry on tools or do you have to everytime when you switch tool take X and Z again ?
