Tinning the shell of a Babbitt bearing is not always a must, but when it is called for you will have to do just that. I share my process on tinning a cast iron shell that uses a thin thickness of Babbitt as the bearing. Just like the 5-inch bearing we re-poured last week this 6-inch bearing is for a marine shaft. One other difference between sizes is this run in an oil bath versus the other being a grease lubrication. https://turnwrightmachineworks.com/ https://jobshopusa.locals.com/post/5318282/jobshopusa https://mewe.com/keithfenner.52/posts https://rumble.com/c/KeithFenner Made in China is a warning!

Pearl’s project is getting back on the making and the first part in the head stock gear box is the second in line shaft we found to be messed up. I hand grind the radius needed on the teeth of the cutter, make a spacer to hold the cutter apart to form the teeth I’m cutting on the spine. I share the method of aligning the spline to the index head for clocking the tooth to the root of the spline, cut in part one. https://turnwrightmachineworks.com/ https://jobshopusa.locals.com/post/5318282/jobshopusa https://mewe.com/keithfenner.52/posts https://rumble.com/c/KeithFennerShow more

Pearl’s project is getting back on the making and the first part in the head stock gear box is the second in line shaft we found to be messed up. I set up the dividing head on the K&T for the spline cutting and start milling the root of the spline areas. https://turnwrightmachineworks.com/ https://jobshopusa.locals.com/post/5318282/jobshopusa https://mewe.com/keithfenner.52/posts https://rumble.com/c/KeithFenner Made in China is a warning!

I'm bringing you along on my biggest babbitt pour since I left the shipyards back in 1994. The two bearings are from a work boat and supply support for a five-inch propeller shaft, which was re-machined to new custom diameters. The Babbitt material is ASTM B-23 Grade 1 Babbitt Melting point solidus 223C 433F Melting point Liquidus 371C 700F Pouring temp 441C 825F Part Six, I finish up the boring of the two Babbitt bearings and take a good look at the finished bearing bores. I conclude my series with an overview and looking on to the next Project at JOB SHOP USA. Made in China is a warning! Vote MAGA 2024 #TRUMP Make America great again!

I had lost the audio on three clips as I set up the bar and take the first couple cuts, but found the audio in the background in other location, so I recorded it to dub in, not a total lost… Made in China is a warning!

WAZER Reaches New Altitudes Building my machining career in the shipyards, totally prepared my skill level to take on this aircraft engine mount project! LOL, it’s more like the WAZER pulled me through another quick and clean project with little machining needed. When I purchased my WAZER I had these kinds of jobs in mind and sometimes it’s almost like having a second person in my shop, handling the cutout and I’m off working on another part of the same job or next project at hand. “Made in China” is a warning label….

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks and I’m a good example of just that, even if time had past between the original build and the reprograming of my FENNERIZE X-Carve machine. Sure, I have been a conventional machinist/ Jobber most of my career and then dabbled in CNC machines, first the PlasmaCAM then 3D printer, then the X-Carve machine, so found myself wanting and building my own CNC machine. I had some but very little CNC experience in a few businesses that I worked for in my career, but I really count that as zero, just because it was just not anymore than being a machine babysitter. Now I have ventured into my second 3D printing machine and looking into the additive business with real useable materials that pertain to my Job Shop USA.

Sometimes the projects you have to set up in the lathe have a lot of sticking out and sometimes you can’t support the load and you have to let it hang out there to do the work. I share my set up and machining of a ductile pipe flange assembly for one of the local municipalities. “Made in China” is a warning label…. Life is good!

How broke is too broke 2 , I finally considered the project at hand an example of deciding when too broke is the final conclusion.

Phase converters are a blessing when you need them, just to be able to run your machines that need it and when you can feed your shop with real 3 Phase from the pole, you really get the quiet snappy current without a secondary motor running in the background. There are a few other perks as well like slightly lower energy bills and more floor space or wall space, not to mention less noise distractions for my viewers during my videos. “Made in China” is a warning label….

I lead off the video with some new construction highlights in my Job Shop just before we get into the Ball Joints, we are machining replacements.

Radar Mast update and how this project is proceeding. I had to lead off with a WAZER project running in the background because it was important to get that project out for the customer at the same time, I wanted to get back onto the Radar mast project. I set up and welded the spreader bars into the main mast framework, welded the backup strips for the mast skins and finished with a view of surface growing and shape of the main mast coming along very nicely. “Made in China” is a warning label….
