I personally don't get tired of seeing it. I do some casting from time to time, and this is like adding to my experience pool. Always welcomed, and always thankful for it.

Hello Keith. If Im not centrifugal casting babbit bearings and using the Old method. Im always turning the mandril with a slight taper then its always easy to get out of there with a hammer. I realy like your videos by the way.

You used to smoke your shafts and mandrels before pouring, but of late I don't see you doing that. Why the change? Just an aside, my Dad, when pouring babbitt, would wrap the shaft with oiled "butter" paper that runs around .003". My cousin asked if I was interested in redoing the bearings on his 18" jointer that Dad did over 40 years ago. He says no rush , but thought it was time for the next generation to step up. Think about it, I'm about the same age as Dad was back then. Thanks for all the good content. David Vik

One thing that really impresses me is that you don't need to "smoke" the shaft like I was taught to do so that helps to speed things up a bit!!!

Keith used to smoke those shafts before he poured the babbit but he hasn’t done it lately. I wonder what made him quit doing that, it seems to be working though.

Maybe the difference in the type of babbit since this is food safe?

Just a guess, but... The carbon deposit was to create a releasing layer. With the heavy babbitt thickness and mechanical detents in the babbitt, the carbon layer was not needed, for this size. Again, just a guess. I could definitely be wrong.

Hi Keith, Asked before, what about flux on the shells? Since this is for processing food, what Babbit do you use. While high lead content might be good mechanically, wouldn't there be a risk of using it for this application? What about turning a groove on the inside surface of the rings to pack the Deacon into? Perhaps a viewer will now send you a larger ladle.

You are such a perfectionist, I can relate. 😉 Wondering why you didn't smoke the mandrels when you poured all of these bearings, wouldn't that have made it easier to remove them? 🤔

One setup in lathe does it all- 1. make 3 rings 2. tack them together 3. grip with outside jaws and bore ID 4. flip them and grip with inside jaws machine step followed by OD- 1st finished ring will fall off 5. repeat process and you have 2 finished rings and a scrap piece

Presuming that all four of those Babbit support castings are installed the same way, seems curious that two of them don't have those 'keying' dimples in them. Worth addressing, or are they superfluous on the two that do have them anyway?

Surprised that your offset boring bar doesn't have locking screws that you tighten after making adjustments (or you don't use them), mine did and I would tighten them after adjusting my cut to lessen the chance that vibration would cause the setting to change during the cut.

hi, should you tighten the gib screws on the boring head after you advance it?
@Hoaxer51
@Hoaxer51 3 сағат бұрын
I noticed that he didn’t tighten the gib screws but when adjusted for the cut it seemed like it took a little bit to turn the screw so there must’ve been just enough pressure on the gibs to hold the adjustment screw from turning during the cut. I think Keith found the happy spot for gib screws. Lol

Could be camera, but it appeared there is a bit of runout on the boring head, or possibly the spindle on the mill.
