"Every machinist should know?" Yes if they want to waste their time.

[@lollipop84858]

No I think you're missing the point. Every machinist should know? We all already know how to cut, drill, tap, and polish parts. Nothing new here for us to learn

[@stuarth43]

actually some of the 30 mm knobs were missing on my lathe a cuppla years back

Why in the hell would you ruin a bearing when you can get individual steel ball bearings from hardware stores and online suppliers.

[@richardpauza2075]

A Metabo .040 X 4.5 or 6 Disc would have been easy...

[@acroduster]

I too am trying to figure out the purpose of this video other than ruining a bearing to make handles that are readily available! First I could have ruined the outer race far more efficiently and at lower cost that the consumables I saw used, say plasma torch for ten seconds? Content for the sake of content is getting really stupid.

[@JimPalskie]

The bearing was no good. really?

[@pb68slab18]

I'll often salvage the balls out of bearings. They've come in handy for use as detents on springs, or projectiles for slingshots! I just remove the cage with a punch, slide all the balls to one side, and they come apart just as easy as they went together.

[@humanspirit3432]

Why not to cut it using an agle grinder? Why not just hit it with a big hammer? The bearing will fly into pieces. Why not to drill-out a separator? Then you can move balls to one side and disassemble the bearing. Or is it just a joke for commenters like me? ; )))

Correct , thank you anyway 🙂

[@victorrussell6284]

You just need to remove the cage, then the bearings come out the same way they went in! The races destroyed in this video would have made good spacers for use around the workshop, not now.

[@maurotolari9215]

Why did you show the bearing race in the chuck ? That is called deception.

I made a pinball machine for my kid 45 years ago using ball bearings like that, it worked out pretty nice for him

[@Tonicwine999]

Quite a cool technique to showcase, milling with a lathe very cool. It’s a shame that the ball bearings used as handles as gonna rust in no time though

For a real machinist it would be much faster to just free-hand a ball and finish it with a file and sandpaper.

He didn't have a grinder to cut the bearing. He definitely didn't have a ball turning jig.

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

Honestly, I get it. If you want to play and try out things, utilizing materials you have on hand, you would do something like this. The whole process of cutting apart the bearing race on a lathe seems pointless and wasteful, but it's not about efficiency. It's about using your tools in all imaginable ways to know for sure what is good or bad as option. Everyone can speculate, but you never know for sure, until you do it. It's playtime, not who does what the best or most efficiently.

[@dougj8186]

A few years ago a guy selling eye glasses online figured out that negative reviews boosted his search rankings as much as positive ones. So he started insulting his customers, gave poor customer service, etc., fishing for negative reviews, reasoning correctly that most people don't look beyond the numbers.

[@metallantik]

Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. This video also has positive points 😊 . You are only looking for fault

You could have extracted ore from mines and made them instead, that would be easier

I replaced my chrome plated drill press handles with plastic knobs for plain stainless steel rods. You don’t need the knobs.

[@stuarth43]

I did this with 30 mm bals for my cazenueve hb575 lathe

[@CJ-nt4cs]

I prefer to use a die grinder with a chop saw instead of wearing out my lathe. And it's twice as fast.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

no heat needed to crack the bearings out

[@dany67230]

Tout ça pour ça !

[@brianredmond4919]

No angle grinders in that workshop ?.

[@JanBinnendijk]

You do need a solid carbide saw for that.. why not just turn the outer ring in half with a regular insert?..

[@pauljanssen7594]

Actually you can buy bearings at a supply house the ball bearing but you have to buy 50 or 100 all you have to do is take a punch take out the bearing separator that keeps the bearing the keeps the bearing separated and move the bearings to one side and the race will come out

[@StevenStyczinski-sy8cj]

Why not just turn the spheres from some stock and make them the right size.

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

I used golfballs as handles om my drill-press !! 🙄😂

[@wayneharless5073]

OK everyone commenting its about the process.

[@AlexDiesTrying]

And the process could have been to remove the cage and disassemble the bearing with no damage whatsoever ( :

[@pauljanssen7594]

And you can easily take a die grinder and cut the shells into much easier than what you did.

[@Farmersamm]

As good as any way to get it apart I guess. Shows the ability to anneal something so it's machine friendly. My only experience with bearings, is cutting them off shafts, or out of the bore they're in. Oxy Acetylene, and a scarfing tip. Fairly surgical procedure to prevent damage to the parent metal on the shaft/bore.

[@Thevintagemachinist]

The handles worth more than the drill press!
