How to Remove Blind Roll Pin
"Ol' Duffer" wrote in message ... I have a vintage lathe that needs to have the cross slide thrust bearing shimmed. I'm not 100% certain, still need to get more light on the subject and blow the hole out with air, but I think the handle might be mounted with a blind roll pin. Yes I agree this is a stupid way to build things. Anyone know of special tools or methods to remove such a thing? Or maybe I just destroy the old handle with a big nutcracker, sawzall, grinder, or whatever and turn myself a new one? Can you not turn the shaft and drill a relief hole to remove the pin ?? -- Regards ........... Rheilly Phoull |

Why not just drill it out? The pins are hard steel but they can be
drilled. Rheilly Phoull wrote: "Ol' Duffer" wrote in message ... I have a vintage lathe that needs to have the cross slide thrust bearing shimmed.

Get a roll pin remover. This is not a joke. The tool is a special-nosed
punch w/ a sharp edge and in the center of the punch is a point that fits the roll pin exactly. |

Punching won't do anything helpful. Drilling may work, but it'll be painful. Drilling a relief from t'other side - if practical - sounds the best approach. |

You did not say what size roll pin or whether you could get to the back side of the blind hole. Roll pins have a hole down the center and you could run a small drill down this hole to find out if the bottom of the hole is solid or just stopped up with something. By drilling down the center of the roll pin this would give you a pilot hole to locate where to drill from the other side. Van Gardner |

Sue is exactly correct. You DRIVE the remover in, then carefully and squarely PULL the remover out and the roll pin with it. I have pulled a few this way, works most of the time. If you have not seen this tool, you might have a hard time visualizing this. I got a set from McMaster many years ago, like ez outs, they are not a panacea, but they can work in a jam and when they do, you stand there just marveling. (at least I do!) Regards, Tom |

OD- Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a blind roll pin? How was it installed? Can it come out the way it went in? If it is one that can be accessed from one end only, then you should be able to screw something into it that will grip it. Perhaps tapping it would allow a screw to be inserted, that can then be pulled out. Fred |

OD- Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a blind roll pin? How was it installed? Can it come out the way it went in? Yeah, a blind roll pin is installed in a blind hole. You push it in, but heaven help you if you ever have to remove it. Sorta like those dinky, doofus axle caps on coaster wagon wheels. They shove on easy, but not made to remove. Sue Nim describes the roll pin puller, I have a set of them, they kinda look like a needle file, but one side has rather aggressive barbs. You push them into the roll pin hole, then gently and squarely pull the puller out, and, if the stars are correctly aligned and you had an extra bowl of Wheaties that morning, out comes the roll pin!

Are you able to drive a small drill inside the pin hole ?
If yes, simply drill the handle througn the pin then, from the opposite side, carefully bore the hole until it reaches the roll pin. Then use a rod and a hammer to push the roll pin.

If it's a roll pin how about tapping threads into it, inserting a screw and levering it out? Grind a special tool if the roll pin permits that is basicly cylinderical with a small tab on the end to pass down the slot in the roll pin. Insert twist and pull out the pin??. Just a thought.

Yes I agree this is a stupid way to build things. What brand of lathe is it? Something cheap might actually be made like this, while a real industrial lathe, especially an old one, would be more likely to be built to be serviced. Three possibilities come to mind: Drill out the roll pin with a carbide spade drill. Drill a hole from the opposite side so that you can drive the pin out. Check to make see if you can leave the handle attached and remove the handle with the shaft by releasing something at the other end of the shaft. - ----------------------------------------------- Jim Adney Madison, WI 53711 USA ----------------------------------------------- |

When I used to do development work on automatic transmissions. the valve bodies
had blind roll pins to hold valves in. To remove them we used allen keys ground to a point. They were inserted in the pin and turned in the direction to tighten the roll while pulling the pin out of the hole. |

How about spot welding a ring to the pin and simply yanking it out?
