Brazing Knuckles Part 1

[@KeithFenner]

@ramseyst42 I did look that product up, its like so many of the coatings that we used in the ship yards, on pumps with abrasive fluids and the large transfer stations for sewage, I was involved with in San Deigo. Most of the time its applied after base metals are repaired. Thanks for the subject mater, in that comment... Keith

Love your taste in fill in music

I bet that was the lower bearing race, because they are more likely to get neglected during greasing. My Carraro axle has similar damage, but it wasn't THAT severe. I actually did have a hell of a time getting the cup out. It was likely the stress from the misalignment after the lower bearing failed that caused the upper bearing to get wallowed out. This series is really valuable, because I'm going to have to do some build-up on mine.

The knuckle looks like they hot tanked it or steamed it before you got it, nice and clean. I know that the cast machines pretty easily without lube good thing since I bet its hard getting it clean enough to braze. Nice setup.

@SlowEarl1 It a 17" Clausing Colchester, with a 29.5" gap, bed length is 8'...

I have watched just about all of your videos...this is one of my all time favorites. Also one of the reasons I subscribed a long time ago. I said if this guy can fix this...he can fix anything. Thanks for all that you do..

[@KeithFenner]

I was running it below a speed that would need a counter weight...

[@KeithFenner]

@ramseyst42 Never herd of it, sounds like some of the products, like JB Weld and Marine Tex, which have their uses, in certain places! you know I'll be looking that one up, just for the heck of it...LOL... Keith

Ahh, Brazing Knuckles - I thought it was a martial arts film like `Fist Of Fury`. Great job.

[@KeithFenner]

The difference in the holders is more for speed, ease of setting and comfort with either dovetail or piston style tool block post systems. It is more a personal preference choice. ;{)---

I know this is late but I'm wondering if you ever bolt on a mass to reduce the inballac on lopsided part like this.

[@ramseyst42]

Have you ever tried Belzona Super Metal for rebuilding worn metal parts?

[@SlowEarl1]

Very cool.What size and make is that lathe? Keep up the good work

[@VoidedWarranty]

I've seen you sleeve some things and build up braze on others. Why did you choose brazing here? Was the wear severe enough to get into one of the bolt holes if you bored it out that big?

[@joedell71]

Hi keith.I see you use an aloris style tool holder on your lathe. I just bought myself an old Atlas craftsman 24" on center lathe and it has the old style lantern tool holder. I am pretty new to the whole machining hobby and was wondering if I should invest in an aloris style tool holder or stay with what I've got and learn with that?? your thoughts. Thanks again.

[@Opinionator52]

I like your setup simple and very strong, not to mention that awesome lathe! Oh the envy! :o) O,,,

[@GnosisMan50]

no counter weight?

[@KeithFenner]

The amount of missing material was more on the inside face and off to one side. To much strength would of been lost in going with a flanged sleeve. ;{)---

[@arjen-de-vries]

Better than my dentist

[@spelunkerd]

Thanks for letting me watch over your shoulder.

[@KeithFenner]

Cool, glad to be of help! ;{)---

[@phatrides222000]

take me down to the paradise city. Hell yea. lol

[@Fabes002]

I'm not a fan of lemming fans sending in freebie tools etc to KZbin "stars" but Keith is one, and if I did send something, it would be a gross of blue Sharpies!

Hate to see you filing the way you do over the chuck with a long sleeved shirt & wristwatch.
