Making a Drive Roller for a vintage Moped

[@victoryfirst2878]

I have to admit a job well done Sir. Bet the gentleman who gets this driver wheel will be very happy.

Hi, he certainly was...

Wow what a great result, your process was much simpler than than I would likely have attempted. Great job, thank you for sharing.

They say that you can not teach an old dog new tricks but you surely did that today, fantastic job, Thanks.

Hi, its probably more like, one old dog sharing another old dogs tricks.

Excellent job! Looks factory.

Hi, the bloke I repaired this for hasn’t stopped fondling it… Thanks for watching.

Hi Jorge, Thanks for watching.

[@michedmck]

Great result, and good technique! Well done, Paul!

[@Thesheddweller]

Thank you

[@chrisstephens6673]

Turned out nice.👍 That friction drive was quite popular, or at least not unknown, in years gone by. I seem to recall there was an after market motorising kit for push bikes and im sure i have seen one used on something else and British too. Although it wont harm sticking one bit in the freezer you only have a few tens of degrees compared to hundreds using heat, so if you are in a hurry save on the cold bit and just heat.

[@Thesheddweller]

yeah. true, the factory i worked in never chilled the core component and they always heated the stainless rings to bronze/brown achieving 64thou interference fit. i was a bit belt and braces with this.

[@mr.ranyhomemade2466]

Very nice and working well it really awesome 😎

Hi, thanks, glad you enjoyed.

brilliant way replicating an old replacement part.....good job sir..

[@Thesheddweller]

thank you very much for your very kind comments.

[@stevesworkshop2194]

Hi Paul. Nice work. I came here from "Buzzing" magazine. Enjoyed your article on the repair of this drive roller.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ive done a few articles for other groups too.

[@handsofrhythm3415]

Good to see you brushed up on your insert searching skills! Had a big chuckle, at least you didn't hit your knuckles trying to catch it :) I got tired of inevitable indexing brain farts, you might want to look up 'Arduino rotary table for dummies'. Was one of best things I've done for the workshop. Love your content. Keep it up!

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, i’m trying to keep away from electronics as much as possible. Besides, I like things i can touch, electrics I can’t touch.

[@lecnac855]

Perfection as usual. And you make look easy. Well done.

[@Thesheddweller]

Thanks, cheers

[@paulrayner4514]

I'm well impressed, great save

[@Thesheddweller]

cheers, thanks for that.

[@marklatham5692]

When I watched your 'presented problem' I tried to figure out how you were going to go about it, sprocket like on the outside, spline on the inside. Hmmmm, another job for a shaper. Using your vertical mill (or lathe) as the shaper wannabee. Your solution was so much more eloquent. Good job!

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi. Thank you for you comments, when I looked at the Cog (as I call it), I rated it as a poor example of a belt dive gear. The time spent drilling would, I suspect, have taken equally as long as it would have taken while slotting, but being a none meshing component the drilling option was for me, the best solution. regards

[@ParsMaker]

nice work, the owner of the part will love it

[@Thesheddweller]

I believe he hasn’t stopped fondling it since he got it back.

Hello Paul, Very nice work... clearly good thought was made before starting of the order of operation. Take care. Paul,,

Superb job, and well presented. :)

HI, thank you thanks for watching.. :-)

[@אוריינקוביץ-ש8צ]

It would be nice if you could make a video of a tour of the workshop.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, I’m not sure, because I will have to clean it up first.. :-D

[@אוריינקוביץ-ש8צ]

At least display the main machines without photographing the tables or the floor.

[@Thesheddweller]

Have you seen my web page? I've published photos on there, the workshop is 4m x 11m, the pictures show you the rest. thesheddweller.com

[@hosseinhayati9820]

Thank you for sharing :) I've made a timing pulley for an old sewing machine just the same as you! Funny how thing works, I've just figureit out the best way of doing it whitou having ascess to much machinery!

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thats great. Make a video, it’ll be a welcome edition to the vast array of videos on KZbin. Regards

[@howardosborne8647]

Hi,Paul. Turned out very nicely. I also take the precautionary measure of placing the male component in the freezer before heating the outer when attempting any shrunk on work. The simplest and most convenient solution to the indexing 'brainfart' is to build yourself a digital indexer attachment for the dividing table. Have you seen the World Of Ward kits to build your own motorised indexer? Any number of indices you fancy all at the touch of a few buttons.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi i’ll take a look at that

[@Thesheddweller]

Is that all you got from my reply..?(

[@charliemacrae1045]

Amazing piece of work. Thank you. Please explain the method decision over using the shaper?

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, my reason is simple, it was easier to hold and the mill was not likely to ruin everything if the drill broke. regards

Very well done sir. 2nd video to watch this morning, and is that an Enco column mill?? I had a 1980,, and wished I hadn't sold, but the replacement Ru-Fu31 had power X and 3 stage DRO with VFD and will do til a knee mill takes it's place. Any way, the moped and use viewer's thx you for sharing,,(@@)! Best over the Holidays from Bears Rod Shop, Tx.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, the mill here in blighty is called a Warco GH major.

[@pcantigos4817]

Perfeito!!!

[@Thesheddweller]

Obrigado..

[@roeng1368]

Good job. But what a dreadful design to drive a tyre ! It must be very hard on it. Stainless steel is nice material to work with, but those stringy pieces of swarf are dangerous, hot and razor sharp.

[@chrisstephens6673]

No kidding after 50 years of lathe use I finally got bitten, first trip to casualty since I stopped wearing short trousers and all down to stringy stainless swarf.

[@roeng1368]

@@chrisstephens6673 I've seen it in cnc lathes, stringy stainless steel swarf completely binding the tool, especially boring bars.

[@chrisstephens6673]

@Sheila Walker i normally have no problem and in fact like turning stainless, all except 304, hatefull stuff. I might give you a run for your money on the speed front.😉

[@Thesheddweller]

stainless steel is indeed a material to be marvelled at, yet hated. In the past I’ve machined tons of the stuff. For stainless i find that to make best progress is to stick to the extremes. i have used a new generation ceramic button tool at 0.1mm doc, 0.1mm feed at 900meters pm it is dangerous as hell but the finish is good. Or the other extreme is a special triangular positive rake insert at 2.5mm doc, 0.53mm feed at 38 meters pm. the only other requirement that is needed on both counts is an abundance of power and torque, but mostly maximum rigidity. Both methods remove large quantities of steel, the former gives off a blade of white hot string 2 meters long and a strategically placed swarf bin means no cleaning out at the end of a shift, the latter makes a horrendous noise and the machine needs several clean outs of mostly 2.5mm hot square chips. I’m not even going to mention finishing cuts.
