Thank you so very much. I watched it all very intently. I used a punch like the ones you showed (with a flat end) but my hammering technique was much more, shall we say, chain-gang-like. I will take all this information and give it another shot before I drill it out. Great video. Helped a lot.

After 30+ years as a plumber, I have had my share of those stupid factory pins, Because of the mortis type fit, they tend to bend when the pipe wrench is used. Not a lot, just enough to teach anyone near you new words. I now just drill them and replace with roll pins. If I am concerned with the look, I will insert a much smaller soft steel pin through the roll pin and peen that over to give the appearance of a rivet. Love the video keep them coming!!!!

You know a project I need to do this year is make some of those wooden cases for pin punches. They are the same as the old ones for center drills. You look on line for a set like the Starrett and others, there will be missing punches or all miss matched but at prices that reflect a complete matching set. Those wood cylinder cases are about the coolest thing so make one that works with a set of punches you can find.

THIS is one of your best instructional videos yet. Good information to have,,,now go get em Ben. Those tapered pins are the devils work for sure👹. Another technique used on post and beam construction was to offset the holes a fraction of an inch. They pull the joint apart just slightly then drill through both pieces at the same time. To assemble they drive the joint together then drive the wood peg in to draw the two together.

I’m fascinated by what we call in the U.K. “shear pins” that are literally designed to fail, to sacrifice themselves thus saving a more expensive part from destruction. It wasn’t till even later that I learned they even have different shear strengths. Fit the wrong one, the pin doesn’t shear and the expensive part goes bye bye. I presume it’s part of the forging, either temperatures or materials, but I do find intentionally designing for failure, a fascinating tactic.

Taper pins are used for work that needs to be disassembled occasionally. On machine tools the older the machine the more often you may encounter them. You do have to look carefully to determine which is the small end. Well made pins often have the large end slightly rounded which helps identify which end is which. If you can't tell if it is a tapered pin try lightly driving the pin. If it doesn't break free try lightly driving from the other end. If it won't move either way it may be a pressed straight pin. Be careful and don't get carried away and start flailing on it. It's not uncommon to have pins under a shear load (like a gear on a shaft) break the pin and the parts have shifted. If this has happened no amount of force is going to push the pin out. Then drilling out may be required. If you think the pin is broken I have had luck welding an extension onto the pin (if it's big enough and you are lucky enough to have the pin protruding a bit) and jerking the broken pieces out with a slide hammer. Cheers from NC/USA
