[@NormReitzel]

[@smarthome2660]

Retired here so I love watching a true master do the things I cannot anymore. Thank you for sharing Kurtis. In my college courses of machining processes I combined all of the required parts to make a gear / bearing / race puller. It was a 8lb slide hammer with a 2 jaw & a 3 jaw with concentric and a ring to push the jaws in or out against the work. I basically rewrote my whole curriculum that included all of the processes like rotary table, lathe, mill, heat treating etc. All of these processes would have left me with useless parts for each respective process, so combining all I was able to have something tangible in the end. I actually needed a puller to rebuild my differential on my car so this was a win / win. Shout out to Mr. Begman - Delta College - University Center, MI

[@humancattoy7767]

Quite an ingenious bearing puller. It sounds like the customer is going to refurbish their used bearings. It'll save them a chunk of cash. I'm impressed with your method of cutting a ginormous hole in a big plate of steel.

[@MoraFermi]

They need to split the cage of the bearing, rendering it useless.

[@SeanBZA]

@@MoraFermi Not necessarily, they can cut the cage, remove the rollers, and then regrind the races to fit oversize rollers, and put in a new cage. Cheaper than a new bearing, and you can still reuse the cage if you simply prepare it and weld it up again on the cut. Big cost saving on those large bearings to recondition them, and provided you have not let it get too worn, you get a good number of refurbishment cycles as well before you need to replace them.

[@marksmallman4572]

@@SeanBZA would anyone go to that much trouble?

[@SeanBZA]

@@marksmallman4572 If your new bearing is $1k, and refurbishing gives you half again at a minimum as much life for $300, it is worth it. For very large bearings all will be refurbished at some point, especially as the price goes over $5k, and lead times for new ones are measured in months. Some you have little option, as a new one might be a year or more to order, and you need the machine to run, while a refurbish might only take a week. For some you just have to do it, as the original manufacturer might no longer make them, which is common in older precision instrumentation, as the bearing races are actually part of the machine, and you simply polish them and put in matched sets of balls. There your refurbishment means you select from a whole series of slightly different diameter balls, to get the right clearances in the machine.

[@ursamajor26]

@@SeanBZA Given how much work it is to pull these off and re-install, I expect there is very little economic reason to try to rebuild a bearing.. However, using a puller like this will make it less likely to damage the shaft compared to cutting off with oxy/gouger/etc, so to me, that's the value..

[@randr10]

This is an awesome puller design. I would say that when I'm doing mechanic work, the hardest thing sometimes is getting good pullers and press plates that will work with whatever I'm trying to take apart and reassemble. Recently I've taken to making my own. Having the lathe and mill there to make custom pullers and press plates just makes my job so much easier. I'm rebuilding my Kubota tractor engine and rather than do like most guys and smash the old sleeves out of it with a chisel and risk destroying the block, I made my own puller out of scrap steel I had lying around and I made the pulling plate out of some aluminum to avoid damage to the block. You can't get these old blocks any more and people want stupid money for them so it's critical not to wreck them. The screw I used was from an old broken Snap-On kit I inherited from my father. It took me about half a day to make it but it saved me about $700, and it would've taken a week to special order all the pieces in, so it was well worth my time. It was a hell of a workout with a long cheater bar to pull those sleeves but it popped them right out no problem.

[@MH-es9rn]

Ever hear of a “Clamshell” puller? Best investment I’ve made as a diff mechanic.

[@randr10]

@@MH-es9rn No but I'll have to check it out. I find myself doing a lot more diff work as time goes by. Most people are afraid to do it because you can't just slap the part on and torque it down. You have to actually set it up and take measurements and stuff. 🤣

[@vallejokid1968]

[@cl7510]

I thought the exact same thing.

[@timothyball3144]

It's cheating! Lol

[@SeanBZA]

Yes hard on the taps. But UNC threads is odd in Australia, though I would guess that it is used because it is an old tap, and thus either there are a lot of them around unused and sold for a pittance, or Kurtis is always grabbing them off auctions in boxes of nearly new taps. Going to guess though the machine it will be used on though was made in the USA, so it has a mix of UNC and Metric threads and fasteners through it.

[@notstonks20]

@@SeanBZA seems to be UNC because that is the thread the pulling studs have, maybe same for the bolts that hold the puller together?

[@SeanBZA]

@@notstonks20 Possibly, old unit that is the ship of Thesus, where every part has now been changed, but the new parts still use the old thread patterns. At least those threads will be easy to replace, as the insert kits probably are cheap, as they have been sitting on a shelf since the 1970's. I have a few sets like that, came in the metal case instead of the plastic ones the metric use, and bought for around a tenth the price as well. Just going to be a bear getting new inserts for them, the only supplier only keeps a few around at a time, so included them with other orders, to get better pricing, slowly. Some of the kits had a date on them that was older than me.

Very neat welding work there. Reminds me of some heavy welding on a cutterhead for a TBM I was inspecting in Italy. The guys were having a break when I first arrived. I had a good look at some of the finished work before they came back. My first question was "where are the robotic welders?" They looked confused. I was pointing at the other workshops. "Which one has the big welding gear?" I asked. They just pointed to the three of them. "Welders" "just us". I thought they were pulling my plonker. No way such heavy welding, of such high quality, was done by hand. I sat for an hour watching them work, open mouthed for the most part. Proper artists at work. Never seen welding as good as that before or since. You came pretty close though.

[@SeanBZA]

My father had a neighbour, who used to do fabrication at a paper mill, and his speciality was brazing the paper webs to make a continuous roll. Only way you could see the joint was to look for the line of yellow and blue on the shiny fine mesh stainless, where the heat had discoloured it, and the yellow was the silver brass alloy paste he used, to join the individual 0.5mm wires together. Did that for over 40 years there, and even in his retirement he would go in and do this, on a contract basis, well into his late 70's. He did train a lot of people in the job, though most of them left after a few years for better pay, so he was always doing the training, and also some specialist fabrication when needed. Don't think I could get to that level, I do not weld enough, and can do reasonably strong and ugly though. Filler and paint though can cover a lot of sins, and car body panels are not at all difficult to replace.

Another nice job. I’m always impressed with your handling of heavy materials, this time the chucks, and your forklift driving. Any chance of including a rough estimate of the material price for the steel? This type and grade is not what the average guy would know and might be interesting to a few

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

hey mate thanks for the suggestion will do that next time!

[@nicholasnakone6673]

I'd work on roughly 6k/t mate (AUD). Approx $400 for the two pieces. (Going on twice the rate of mild steel atm). Try calling your local plasma cutter for a more accurate price.

I love the outtakes at the end. That's how I feel my whole day normally goes.

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Kurtis and Karen, Another fine video on well made shop tools. Karen, the start of the outtakes had me laughing with Kurtis's silence. That was golden. :-) Homey sure tore into that shipping package. Have a great weekend and you both stay safe.

[@stuartmacleod6213]

What a set up. I had to gouge off 450mm bearings from a jacking house that tool would have made my life 10x easier

[@maxnex7676]

I hope that was Karen making the coffee at the end of the video otherwise Kurtis has some explaining to do about his manicure 😂. Thanks guys, have a good weekend.

I loved the fact that it was the same style in terms of cuts/edits making the Coffee vs Making the Tool 🤣

Nah, that was Carl's bit on the side. Karen was recording. 😁

The Wise Machinist once asked of the Apprentice: "What came first? The Shop bought Tool or the Shop made tool?" -Meditations of Steel and Precision Chapter 3, by Karl the Philosopher.

[@lastguy8613]

I'm only a house painter but the bakery where I go to get lunch does a egg and chicken sandwich. I ask myself the same question

[@MajesticDemonLord]

@@lastguy8613 these are life's important questions.

[@lastguy8613]

@@MajesticDemonLord I call it the what came first sandwich but I always eat the chicken bit first as its not as good as the egg side. I just wish they'd make more egg sandwiches so when I'm late I don't get the philosophical delima tbh

[@teeanahera8949]

I wonder when Carl’s real name will be revealed to the new subscribers……

[@SeanBZA]

Always the shop made tool, the shop bought tool is invariably only used for common things, and I would say most machinists still use the tools and jigs they made as apprentices, and have gone on to make many more. Remember many a shop made tool starts off as a broken shop bought tool, that failed to do the job, and was modified and upgraded to do the job properly or differently.

That's what I love about watching this channel - it always gives solutions to problems. I work in IT, and this sort of problem solving is always educational. Thanks!

I happened to notice a chopper landing out the back of CEEA earlier this week (whilst doing a delivery just next door (not a stalker, I swear)). An update to the Camera Mount Spacer perhaps?

[@seanys]

I think they have a neighbor who parks there.

So happy you guys like the coffee!!!! Gosh, didn't know you had a Cappuccino machine. Hahaha. Maybe next time I get this wild assed idea, I'll include some speciifically for that purpose. Thanks for including in your video. I'm humbled.

Thanks for including Douwe Egberts 🇳🇱☕🇳🇱

Might be a silly question but do you ever paint/powder coat the components or tools you make? Or do you just coat them in an oily protective film for rust protection and leave It up to the customer to paint etc? Loving the videos.

[@gorillaau]

He has stated that generally his customers have their own paint shop, or perhaps they don't want to pay an outsource hourly rate to do something that could be done in house.

It’s pretty nice that is thoughtful people out there sending gifts, obviously enjoying the channel
