Keith Great job very nice indeed. As always I learned a ton of info. Thanks for setting up your cam and giving us guys a chance to watch and learn. Your ending remarks are important as they tell us how you felt the job went and what things to watch out for. I am sure your customer was very happy.

Great repair! I read where the railroad would repair cylinders for steam engines that were wore out by heating and cooling from the inside several times. They could reduce the diameter enough to rebore and put back in service.

The closest part was in Texas, by his means of search, two days prior to making a buying choice and sold before he could make up his mind. Any how you’re pricing is close maybe ten dollars per hour higher, I had reduced my when times became tuff, to give a break to customers. When you’re running near antiques, parts aren’t always on the shelf, and getting your part fixed in time for a new contact priceless. ;{)-----

@KeithFenner12 жыл бұрын
Exact temp I’ll have to make it a point to check as I do the next brazing, I really sense the temp and how fast it can go from the steady heat to working temp right at the work zone. I’ll guess though around 900 or a bit more, degrees.

Yes, in fact the covering in earth or soil has been done for years, originally and the best mineral to use is lime and today you can still buy powered lime and build a steel box to keep it dry and clean between uses. It is actually better or more efficient than blanketing. ;{)---

In most cases I practice a post heating to lower localized area from working temp to blend into a full uniform part temperature and then blanket tight to create about a 6 to 9 hour cool down period. ;{)---

On the 2 part one I did I left the comments for both parts because I was not sure I would get to part 2. It looks like if that part was a little bigger it would not have fit in your lathe.

I've only ever looked on my page a couple times, I forget it's even there. I didn't realize every time you hit "like" that video goes on my page. I never bothered much with the likes and dislikes in the past. I just started trying to remember to do that a week or so ago. The casting shrinking from heating them is cool, I never hear about that. Did you ever hear about companies in the past, burying their new casting in the dirt so they cool down slower?

What if some form of ballast was bolted to the opposite end of the casting causing the imbalance, would it help, or just put too much strain on the machine.
