Babbitt Pour 2024 Part Six

I'm bringing you along on my biggest babbitt pour since I left the shipyards back in 1994. The two bearings are from a work boat and supply support for a five-inch propeller shaft, which was re-machined to new custom diameters.
The Babbitt material is ASTM B-23 Grade 1 Babbitt
Melting point solidus 223C 433F
Melting point Liquidus 371C 700F
Pouring temp 441C 825F
Part Six, I finish up the boring of the two Babbitt bearings and take a good look at the finished bearing bores. I conclude my series with an overview and looking on to the next Project at JOB SHOP USA.
Life is good! Cheers, Keith

I remember when you used to line bored an engine block at the old shop with that lathe. Great job.

[@GeneralElectricCNC]

Hey! They turned out nice! Once the word gets out, you'll have to put an addition on the shop. I can just imagine how many people still do this kind of work. It's a lost art. Keep it up Kieth!

[@rogertaylor1589]

A great series thanks keith

[@scottthomas5999]

Amazing how you figure out these different setups to get the job done. Horizontal boreing on your lathe. Genius!! Thanks for sharing.

[@johnlee8231]

Great job.

Well done Keith great job 👍❤️❤️.

[@jeffo881]

thanks for sharing your experience with us.

[@peteengard9966]

Those look great. Fantastic work. Thank you Keith.

[@elffirrdesign2063]

Nice! got to watch an old boy do this all most exact process for dredge rebuild back in the 80's. I used that boring technique for the tool post grinder build for my lathe to set the bearings. Some of the most accurate outcomes in my meatball machinist career!

[@KG-yn9qi]

Well done!!! Thank you Sir! Keep the good stuff coming….

[@jamesreed6121]

Thanks for another excellent video. I always learn something from your videos. This six part series taught patience with a touch of tenacity. KOKO!

[@michaeldurling793]

Another fine job, a rocky start but a grand finally.

[@michaelgould5467]

Thanks for showing us the process. Between job concept thru completion you once again show your mastery of the trade. How many hours do you have working a job like that? Glad the new oven is starting to pay for itself. I am just glad I'm not the customer that has to write the check. lol ---M---

[@donniceblakely1075]

Man that's looks almost as good as if I would have done it myself! Lol. Looks great Keith.

[@susannovotney1903]

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidclodfelter7147]

Another job turned right! LOL.

[@passenger6735]

Absolutely delicious! I can't wait to investigate a similar line boring job on my castings now. I thought I already was subscribed but it seems I wasn't. I AM now. ...Again.

[@QuickStart-wpk]

Beautiful results and that’s what counts!

[@UKDrew]

Awesome as Always . Really cool series of vids..

[@jeffo881]

13 years and 865 videos and counting. WOW.

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Well done! Very interesting video. :o)

[@tmptorneria1818]

Hola keith q hermoso trabajo amigo una maravilla . Cuando terminas el torno . Saludos

[@georgepinder1329]

Great series of videos Keith. Amazing how you manage to do jobs like this. As a matter of interest what clearance would you allow between shaft and bearing and are these to be used with a brand new shaft? Please keep the videos coming thanks

[@KeithFenner]

A couple thousand for oil. The shafts were turned, and I had to make matching diameters.

[@Drew_Snydermann]

Damn spiffy!

[@ÁREAJ27]

Olá amigo Keith!!!Que maravilha de trabalho acabamento perfeito!!! Boa sorte sempre!!!

[@waynespyker5731]

As usual excellent craftsmanship, are you adding oil grooving away from the lubrication ports?

[@KeithFenner]

No I didn't

[@chieft3357]

I'm curious why there is no cross grooving at the grease port in the Babbitt for grease to travel and cover the Babbitt bearing surface. I'm use to seeing cross grooving on engine bearings.

[@KeithFenner]

Oil Slinger Ring System

[@chieft3357]

@@KeithFenner Not familiar with that setup. I'll look that up, thanks

Mr. Fenner is a skilled, intelligent, experienced master of his trade who is giving his time, sharing his knowledge, passionate about his art and has a desire to pass that love and knowledge on to the next generation. Trump will certainly be great for people like him. NOT!!!!

[@thomaslemay8817]

You did fine until you exposed your NYC. Woke delusional beliefs . Biden /Harris has been very bad for every single person in America, the only exceptions being politicians doing insider trading like Nancy Pelosi . The sad thing is minorities are the people suffering the most !

[@KeithFenner]

He did me right for the four he gave us, I exspect nothing less and hopefull for more new shit added to the same...

[@Jon2jammy]

Awesome series Keith, thanks for bringing us along. Bit of a roller coaster ride at the start but very happy ending 😊 Have you run out of monkeyshit?
