What were 'your' recent metalworking projects?
Wes I just posted to the dropbox a set of files named Chain_Wheel that are about a device I made recently for our fire dept. Now that I'm in retirement mode I can take on time consuming projects like this one. Sure I could have bought one but what's the fun in that, eih? It was a study in math and workholding for sure! I've considered removing the chain guide on the slack side as that point is never under load going up or down. There could be a pileup if one link for some reason won't behave in the guide. At least the operating speed is slow anyway. Perhaps we can get more projects listed, eih? What do you have to show off? phil kangas |

What do you have to show off? phil kangas Well _I_ just found my 1/4-32 tap, which means that now I can make some glow plug heads for Cox 049s. It was in yet another place where I stash taps -- I really need to do a better job storing taps. Seeing a bunch of taps clashing together in a drawer in a tool kit just makes my skin crawl -- unfortunately I seem to respond to this by squirreling taps away in all sorts of different places. Yes, it keeps them from clashing into one another, but... Now where's my 2-64 tap, for needle valves??? -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com |

Phil Kangas wrote: What were 'your' recent metalworking projects? Wes Nothing to show off really, but this weekend I've been working on reworking a truck box for my new(est) truck. Nobody seems to make a box quite like I want, so I started with a 18"x18"x60" long underbody box, cut it down to 12" deep instead of 18", welded it back together, made some runner "feet" that will sit in between the ribs in the bed of the truck and support the box crosswise behind the cab. I still have to fab some end extension louver things that will fill in the remaining width of the bed as well as protecting vent openings from rain and bugs. I'll be putting a fan and thermostat in the box to keep it from getting excessively hot, and will be mounting a 2KW inverter and a compressor in the box along with the storage for tools and whatnot. When the box is complete I'll have it sprayed with Line-X to match the bed of the truck. The setup will also be on quick connects, so the box is removable when needed. |

The stub was ground to use only one flute with a rounded corner to match the radius of the link wire. Hair brained I know but it worked nice! phil |

Is this one of those things where I have to go to a store to find out? Enjoy, DoN. The retail web site says it may not be available in some stores. Here is the .com link.

To keep this thread interesting here's another of
my 'inventions' to save the world. heh heh .... But I'm too old to chase down this part to make any money off it. This N-10 locknut is a failure point on the log trucks around here and is found on the loader clam bearings. They get severe duty and when the center lock ring fails the bearing stack is free allowing the pivot shaft to wobble putting strain on the hydraulic motor that rotates the clam. The damage can be extensive and expensive. The cheap and dirty way to end this problem is to simply weld the outer locknut to its threads, that's what is done around here. Perhaps someone reading this thread can make use of this setup, I hope so. I'd be a shame for this to be lost. Good luck, enjoy. http://www.metalworking.com/DropBox/Locknut.txt http://www.metalworking.com/DropBox/Locknut_01.jpg http://www.metalworking.com/DropBox/Locknut_02.jpg |

The bearing this one is intended for is 50mm bore. Look in MH for locknuts and you'll find a listing of these sizes. This is a nice schoolhouse lesson, btw.... What is the problem, what is a viable solution, how do you machine it? ;)) phil |

I would make one 2" long. Support it in the lathe and
bore it out then thread. Then shape the external face and cut off the other.
