Regardless of what direction, grit action and other comments, you have way more than 99% of DIYers. As a thought, if you have a lathe would it make sense to make cones to hold the ends? Large trucks even school busses that use a straight axle have "King-Pins" and bushings that wear out. The bottom uses a large thrust bearing and are changed as a kit, then thrown away. If you have a shop for large trucks, check in and see if they have a few you can get. I have 4 with 3 different hole size. Large and larger. Just joking but they work great on load using pushing tools or pullers. Just use a needle on your grease gun and you'l find lots of use for these little gems few know about.

Thanks Dean...yeah that was along time ago. Surprised that I left the video up I honestly forgot about it..lol. I didnt have a lathe at the time which is why i did this. Worked at the auto machine shop for several years and did cranks etc on the lathe there woth the Goodson crank polisher. I fabbed a unit that was identical to the Goodson for zero money just matetials laying around and time. Uses the standard belt. The jig Was a quick build and not the greatest but it got the job done. This setup is long gone now and I have a lathe that will do the job correctly. I guess for me yes there is a correct way but also a way to make do with what you can afford and get the job done too. Thanks for watching the video!!

good job!

[@maxlacugnato442]

Thank you but that's been along time ago and I do them on a lathe now...lol

[@johnholloway2445]

[@screemer122]

super job ..i liked the video to

[@blairguinea6811]

good job Max

[@johnwoodworth248]

With 320 grit you should never slid the belt across the journal you should do plunge style to avoid making the Journal a hourglass laying on its side shape . Plus the current draft should be turning the opposite direction the same direction it will be running in the engine . But good set up just the same

[@100nortonfan]

Very clever! Unfortunate camera settings, insufficient details, like how is belt tension adjusted or how is belt tracking accomplished, Otherwise, thanks for sharing.

[@goyocarreras]

Good video, you could tell me what type of sandpaper you use, and how thick sandpaper is needed to polish the crankshaft, thanks.

[@maxlacugnato442]

It is the standard crank polisher belts made for crank polisher. Can be purchased from goodson or any other auto machine supply

[@goyocarreras]

@@maxlacugnato442 I'm from Spain, that's why I ask him because I don't know what type of sandpaper they are, that's why I asked him the grain to reduce a few hundredths and then polish.

[@dirtydug7526]

Good stuff man

[@zerkfn8501]

good job...cudos bro

[@1964deuce]

Your spinning it in the wrong direction

[@ImpalaLfx]

Please explain b4 I make the mistake

[@dpierson489]

As soon as you turned on your machine, I noticed that the crankshaft is turning in the wrong direction!! No matter how smooth the surface is, it will eat the bearings.

let me guess, you're an internet mechanic with 70 years+ of internet mechanic experience?

[@dpierson489]

@@Shade_tree_garage01 who are you? NOTHING!!! you are in dire need of retraining ( if your willing to learn ) but to me it seems like you already think you know it all ,

[@McDonalds_vesh]

40 rpm would be better
