A wonderful technique that every machinist should know .

[@markh8091]

This was in the March 1971 issue of "Wasting Time" magazine

[@humanspirit3432]

Why not to cut it using an agle grinder? Why not just hit it with a big hammer? The bearing will fly into pieces. Why not to drill-out a separator? Then you can move balls to one side and disassemble the bearing. Or is it just a joke for commenters like me? ; )))

[@metallantik]

Correct , thank you anyway 🙂

[@Whatsindabusches]

Was thinking the same thing!!

[@victorrussell6284]

You just need to remove the cage, then the bearings come out the same way they went in! The races destroyed in this video would have made good spacers for use around the workshop, not now.

[@Tracer414]

"Every machinist should know?" Yes if they want to waste their time.

[@lollipop84858]

No I think you're missing the point. Every machinist should know? We all already know how to cut, drill, tap, and polish parts. Nothing new here for us to learn

[@angeloghidini1121]

I get the display of lathe skill but damn this job was a waste of time

[@bekosuki5177]

😊

[@russbell6418]

Yes and no. If you need a round machinable ball for some reason and have access to large ball bearings, this is a quick visual tutorial on partial annealing. I have needed one, 40 years ago. Used similar method, dropped in perlite to slow cooling. Completed machine work on the ball the following day.

Why did you show the bearing race in the chuck ? That is called deception.

[@roybragg4734]

Why in the hell would you ruin a bearing when you can get individual steel ball bearings from hardware stores and online suppliers.

[@richardpauza2075]

A Metabo .040 X 4.5 or 6 Disc would have been easy...

[@acroduster]

I too am trying to figure out the purpose of this video other than ruining a bearing to make handles that are readily available! First I could have ruined the outer race far more efficiently and at lower cost that the consumables I saw used, say plasma torch for ten seconds? Content for the sake of content is getting really stupid.

[@JimPalskie]

The bearing was no good. really?

[@guyowen3041]

A great way of making something you already had.

[@JB-he1jt]

Surface grinder and 1/32 cut off wheel makes precise easy cut right through the case!!

[@vizibug]

you CANNOT be serious...the human race is spiraling...

[@Farmersamm]

As good as any way to get it apart I guess. Shows the ability to anneal something so it's machine friendly. My only experience with bearings, is cutting them off shafts, or out of the bore they're in. Oxy Acetylene, and a scarfing tip. Fairly surgical procedure to prevent damage to the parent metal on the shaft/bore.

[@aarojokinen6690]

For a real machinist it would be much faster to just free-hand a ball and finish it with a file and sandpaper.

[@metallantik]

👍❤️

[@mikecollett8782]

He didn't have a grinder to cut the bearing. He definitely didn't have a ball turning jig.

[@Tonicwine999]

Quite a cool technique to showcase, milling with a lathe very cool. It’s a shame that the ball bearings used as handles as gonna rust in no time though

[@adamdelarozza1985]

Nothing a little bit of oil won't stop.

[@MG-nz6bx]

@@adamdelarozza1985 There ya go! Who doesn't love an oily knob in their hand, you freaking knob? You know what doesn't need oil? PLASTIC!!!!

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

Honestly, I get it. If you want to play and try out things, utilizing materials you have on hand, you would do something like this. The whole process of cutting apart the bearing race on a lathe seems pointless and wasteful, but it's not about efficiency. It's about using your tools in all imaginable ways to know for sure what is good or bad as option. Everyone can speculate, but you never know for sure, until you do it. It's playtime, not who does what the best or most efficiently.

[@auntiebarbara85]

What a wonderfull technique, indeed

[@theosgrandpa]

I made a pinball machine for my kid 45 years ago using ball bearings like that, it worked out pretty nice for him

[@whitemoonLG]

Чтобы разобрать подшипник нужно просто снять сепаратор отверткой и шарики снимутся в одну сторону

[@andrewbowers_]

I replaced my chrome plated drill press handles with plastic knobs for plain stainless steel rods. You don’t need the knobs.

[@Blue.star1]

You could have extracted ore from mines and made them instead, that would be easier

[@annelarrybrunelle3570]

So, yeah, you might do this if that was all you had to work with. Generally, cheaper and easier just to buy pre-made.

[@HardOperator]

Nice!

[@pauljanssen7594]

Actually you can buy bearings at a supply house the ball bearing but you have to buy 50 or 100 all you have to do is take a punch take out the bearing separator that keeps the bearing the keeps the bearing separated and move the bearings to one side and the race will come out

[@CJ-nt4cs]

I prefer to use a die grinder with a chop saw instead of wearing out my lathe. And it's twice as fast.

[@brianredmond4919]

No angle grinders in that workshop ?.

A few years ago a guy selling eye glasses online figured out that negative reviews boosted his search rankings as much as positive ones. So he started insulting his customers, gave poor customer service, etc., fishing for negative reviews, reasoning correctly that most people don't look beyond the numbers.

Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. This video also has positive points 😊 . You are only looking for fault
