A big job and mostly well done , cooling the shaft down and heating the hub up probably would have made it a bit easier to install the shaft but brute force works to.

[@w.k.2239]

Presspassung 1/100 mm genau

[@theshauny]

It was fairly horrible to be be honest why did they cut the shaft off with the oxy towards the end, why wasn’t the key and key way the correct size to start with? And why didn’t the lay the gear over the hole on its side and put the shaft in from the top then once it stopped going in, just grab one of them heavy machines in the back ground (the red or blue fabricated machines not the machine tools) and if it still got stuck then they could heat the gear with the oxy, also why is the shaft rusty straght after machining if they used cutting oil when turning/slotting there would be enough residual oil on the part it wouldn’t go rust (hopefully get a bit of oil on the lathe bedways too cause you should need to use a bar to move the tail stock like they did it should be a one man operation putting that shaft in the lathe once it has a centre in it

"brute forks works to"... to what?

[@rosewhite---]

They actually don't know about the expansion of metal. I watched a similar video last year where they got a big shaft stuck and I said to warm the gear up by about 100 degrees and it would have expanded about 5 thou. 8 inch bore heated to 100F over ambient = about 5 thou. They said they had never heard of this calculation! But then they don't seem to have micrometers available.

[@fredperry2358]

Seeing their working conditions, one of the first concerns that cross my mind is the accuracy of the measurements. Also, in almost all of these videos the complete lack of basic safety rules, especially when dealing with eye protection. I guess they would never request or complain for fear of being fired for something as simple as safety glasses or shields.

[@papabob53johnson46]

What has safety rules got to do with the condition of the machinery, the complete careless handing on the stock and the absolute filth of the place they work in. That alone is a safety hazard.
