panelbeater · 09-06-2021, 13:03

ok.

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:07

2nd half turned to size

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:11

Now to start boring, I have a much bigger twist bit some place but cannot find it

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:14

New boring bars are not a patch on my old one, probably as old as me

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:16

The bore measures 62mm but the job is too hot to hold so will need to fine bore it when it is cold

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:17

Circlip groove done

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:19

Start boring the other end

solarman216 · 09-06-2021, 19:21

3 parts done but dinner calls, Rick

Flying Torquewrench · 12-06-2021, 18:54

How is the roller coming along?

solarman216 · 13-06-2021, 17:49

Had not done much on it as waiting for the other bearing and clip so not been able to do the 2nd clip groove, first bearing and clip in

solarman216 · 13-06-2021, 17:51

This is the shaft with the oil seals but just noticed a problem

solarman216 · 13-06-2021, 17:55

Oil seal will not like this so will need to splash a bit of weld on it and turn it down smooth but job for tomorrow, Rick

Flying Torquewrench · 13-06-2021, 18:53

Looking good Rick. I know who to call when I need a new roller.

Join the Q, been given two more over the week end, but looks like I will have to make a press bigger than the 6 tonne I have now as I cannot budge the trunions even with heat, Rick
