I live in Germany, I work in IT, I own a mini lathe and I'm about to build a shapeoko CNC. My interest in machining came from watching people like you, abom, mr crispin, clickspring etc. Among the ones I listed, I love watching your videos the most, even tho I never met you, maybe never will, you enthrall me the most, you have a special Aura which I really like. Keep on rocking Mr. Fenner.

The last time I pored babbitt was about 1959. My grandfather needed it done, but he was in poor health, so he told me what to do and watched me do the work .

the Harris Stay Clean flux does a very good job for tinning ferrous metals, I used it for solder many parts that have been saved that way As you say, cleaniness is of a prime importance when soldering about any materials. very good teacher excellent video

@3:20 - I used to work for a national battery company where part of the job was replacing cells in huge forklift batteries. We used large ingots like this along with a torch to "solder" the cells back in place. We always vented the cells before firing up the torch though. Each joint only takes a second if you're good.

Hi Keith and Lisa 😊, good job on the tin nine, man I can smell that flux from over here, used to use what we called spirits of salt fluid don't know if it's the same stuff kieth but the fumes made your eyes water and took your breath away. I'd be interested to see the babbit poured, and straightening that big shaft would be a good watch. Whatever you give us is always interesting, cheers mate, best wishe's to you and Lisa, Stuart UK.

Hello, my first KZbinr whom I watch and admire and I need to have text translation turned on to understand what he is saying, but thanks to the translation technique I can keep up to date with what's going on with you. I am familiar with this whitening and tinning technique. I also repair various devices, but I have never poured bearing alloy into the bearing shell (babit). I am very far from the shipyard and we do not have such solutions. But I've seen such shells before. Maybe one day I will come across this type of bearing, I have this babit, although I prefer the name bearing alloy. The most important thing is that it combines well with the tin primer. I will be happy to watch the continuation of the acetabular casting. Best regards and all the best. PS. I wonder how he will translate it.😊

Eu apliquei muito babbit em mancais de bronze em formato bi-partido,os mancais eram aquecidos e aplicavamos uma camada de estanho,logo em seguida aplicavamos camadas de babbit usando o maçarico oxi-acetileno e varetas que fazíamos na cantoneira. Depois de frio usinava a parte de fechamento e tornava o diâmetro interno. O babbit que o patrão comprava era usado e tinha impurezas que fazia ter que antes de colocar a medida final tinha que remover com fresa esférica e fazer enchimento até que nao restasse mais impurezas.

@KeithFenner Which welding rod should be used for Case hardening ?
@KeithFenner4 ай бұрын
You need to anneal the part before you weld it and you need to know what type of material was used in original parts. After that I would look up in the Lincoln Electric welding book and use the suggested rod that matches your needs.

Хорошая работа.👍 Конечно, таких диаметров вкладышей заливать не пришлось. Но Ф60мм, то да. Не знаю, мы или бедные, или нищие. Но намного всё проще. Шаблон с картона, лудили паяльником, на паяльной лампе. Потом напильник и шабер. А, ну да, еще помню, если диаметр позволяет, то шабрили поршневыми кольцами Б/У. Пополам переломил и вперед.👍

Thanks for the video. As a retired MR1 we did a lot of bearings. The biggest was a main line shaft bearing for USS Detroit. Inside diameter of 48 inches, plus .002 minus 0. We got it done on a 50 year old ship at sea (anchored) during Desert Storm. It was a steel shell with grooves. The faces were hand scraped for flatness, then bored on a HBM. I haven't seen all of your videos yet, but I haven't seen you "peening" the babbit. The moulders would do this to see if the babitt would release from the shell before machining. Do you do it also?

I need to be taught these interesting things, even if I never need to implement the task. Our company purchased me a $200,000.00 Haas ST-35LY lathe, day 3, relax and understand what I taught myself in day 1-2...extreme and intense. I never fail..on day 3, making parts ( I think that I need to adjust the arc filters). Just saying, I seem to always teach everyone including myself Mr Fenner. Please continue..

Keith, I'm writing to see if you'd be willing to do less of the attempted indoctrination; regarding the pledge of allegiance to the flag and the right wing turn your channel has taken. I've been watching you since the beginning of turn wright machine works. You have been an amazing resource for learning more about turning, welding, brazing, and the general properties of steel(straightening shafts, tempering, etc.), how things work, what tolerances are important, and strategies to be efficient in the shop. I work at a construction company and get enough right wing propaganda while I'm on the clock, if it would be possible to enjoy an educational program at home, I would sincerely appreciate it.
