Glad I found your channel. Thank u for taking the time to make these videos. With straight up answers. And no BS.

You are very welcome

Nice job Daniel. The Turner Brothers are fine gentlemen. Good balance machine. Take care, Ed.

🔔😎🇺🇲 1:20 I missed how you are squaring all the weights to the crank throws centerline. 25 yrs ago I did all the balancing at the race shop. Your machine is AWESOME.👍👍👍

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Ty, ai really appreciate that!!

[@dirtlump]

The Turner Technologies Mill Balancers work very well and are extremely accurate.

[@powellmachineinc3179]

We think so!

[@4speed3pedals]

That is a very nice crank balancer. Finally, it only occupies space your already have instead of makiing a permanent location for another piece of equipment. It almost looks portable.

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Yep, that's why we chose it, does a great job!

[@tomstrum6259]

Really nice precision work there ! ....Thx for showing how the Balance job is done....

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Absolutely! Ty for watching

[@JAMSIONLINE]

Nice vid! We have a DCB-750, software is circa ~2004, and no drill press mounted on the machine. It's a royal PITA to have to move over to our TCM-25 just to drill, then set back up and spin. Takes any profitability out of the job haha

[@powellmachineinc3179]

I was doing the same thing... this setup was a game changer, , best money I spent in a long time!

[@xacksparrow4776]

Why would you not buy it with the drill press? I have a DCB 750 also. It does an awesome job.

[@v8packard]

Love the Turner Balancer

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Best investment I have made lately, I think it came in in early 2020, took almost a year after I ordered it.

[@farmflipping5887]

Awesome video!

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Thank you!!

[@mswayed1396]

Great work, nice balancing machine I am consider build my own balancing machine any recommendations ?

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Turner technology

[@patrickwendling6759]

Thank you for your knowledge and video's USA 🇺🇸

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Absolutely

[@RoederPerformance]

Just subscribed Daniel. Love my Turner also!

[@powellmachineinc3179]

AWSOME thanks!! Yes, love it

[@TheKrighter]

Still can't find a good beginners vid for crankshaft balancing. What are those things that are clamped onto the shaft? How do they work? When I say beginner, I mean BEGINNER ;-)

[@alexquevedo831]

Hey you wouldn’t happen to have a 5.3 LS1 GEN V for sale

[@powellmachineinc3179]

No, not at this time

[@xacksparrow4776]

Shop owner here. I have a DCB 750 balancer. It does an awesome job for what I do. My question is do you feel the imbalance angle is important? I always try to end up with my imbalance 180 out from the throw on each end, what do you think and always try to get under 1 g

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Ideally that would be best in my opinion, but once you are under a gram I think it's to small to matter

[@Tetrax-lt8is]

what is the price of the machine

[@boknows3841]

It doesn't have to be perfect. If its heavy remove the material from the outer edge of the throw, never drill it unless you absolutely have to.. a couple of grams is nothing. You might get that much weight when assembled when there is oil sticking to the bearing

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Perfect is relative

[@boknows3841]

@@powellmachineinc3179 Static vs Dynamic Balancing. Static is repositioning the center of gravity to align with the axis of rotation. Dynamic is adding or subtracting weights / counterweight to ensure a precise motion and minimizing vibration. A crankshaft is nothing but vibration. On a V 8 engine you have two opposing pistons firing at a slightly different time on the same rod pin. Now think about it, if you are balancing and blueprinting the engine to get the maximum amount of performance out of it, would you want to penalize it by leaving in necessary weight on the outside of the crankshaft? If you are looking for performance the first thing that you want is to remove mass. Unless you want to use the engine in a truck for towing or pulling tree stumps.

[@boknows3841]

Unnecessary weight, damn spell correct keeps changing what I typed

[@RallyRobert976]

How do you calculate the rod and piston weights that you have added?

[@anthonyreznik8883]

you first balance your connecting rod and piston assembly, then use the balanced weight.

[@GrandPitoVic]

Are these new forged crankshaft?

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Correct

[@nickhoffman5524]

Bad thing is you do not recover the cost of the 1st crank being bad, poor mfg quality right there, hopefully they treat you right on the price of each crank LOL

[@powellmachineinc3179]

Unfortunately, we just have to absorb the time

[@chrismorrison9140]

You'd have to x-ray that to find where the problem is, and then the only fix is to cut out the porosity and weld repair it. That one goes in the scrap bin unfortunately.
