So funny to watch Andy as a sidekick instead of the main man. LOL I have to admit, i was also scared for you doing the parting tool with that amount of brass spinning that quickly with nothing but some rubber holding it steady. 🙂

Nice explanation on using a small lathe. I enjoyed explanation of truing round stock, taping to adjust 1/2 the error, setting the bed and not cutting off the finished product and throwing it about the shop. Don’t ask how I know about that! Only comment I have is the outdoor sound quality was disappointing. Andy should know better! Please keep the subtitles/cc. Sometimes I have problem with language- grandparents were from Scarborough, parents from Canada, I’m in the USA for 60 years. Thx Ken

Hi Paul, so glad you like this style because this is what I'm aiming for... them are literally thousands of channels that show you how to do things by the book or on top notch equipment, I want to show practical engineering anyone can do, so aim to use layman's terms wherever I can..

If it is a standard size cutless bearing would it not have been better to ream out the holder slightly so in the future it would be easier to buy a new bearing that fitted, despite having a spare? Otherwise it will be necessary to machine each new cutless bearing.
@NigelTomlinson2 жыл бұрын
Hi Neil.. Yes you are right, however, as nice as the housing is its not a machined part and was impossible for me to line it up in my small lathe. the decision was made to turn down the bearing itself as it will be a good few years before it needs changing again and then they have the spare.. when the time comes it will be very easy to turn down the next pair.

If that cutlass bearing had a 1/4" thick rib on it that would fit very nicely into the open slot on the housing, I think that could be better than the 3 grub screws. Or not ??? Just a thought. :-))

Wow, brilliant! So the bearing is clamped to the housing. The rubber sleave looks to be grooved? Does the prop shaft just sit in the rubber sleave and get lubricated by water sitting in the grooves?. Never seen one of these broken down before...
@andrewthomasfinney7522 жыл бұрын
Did you finish the spare bearing and check fit it before fitting the 1st one into the cutlass bearing?
@johnowen83802 жыл бұрын
The cutless bearing is a standard size so by machining it down it is now a none standard size. Would it have not been better to machine the cutless bearing housing to take a standard size bearing. As it stands Andy will need to get the outside of a new bearing machined every time it has to be replaced once he has used the spare.
@NigelTomlinson2 жыл бұрын
It's a great point John and we did discuss it, however the housing, although very nice, i not a precise casting and would be very difficult to get straight in my lathe, even with the 4 jaw chuck, secondly, de to the gap that makes up the clamping system would mean i would be making interrupted cuts which adds to the risk of something going wrong.. so as there was enough to make a spare we chose the route we did... and I'm always here to make 2 more when they need them :)
