New Shaft for Bull Gear, Long Workpiece Challenges

Рет қаралды 167,622

Күн бұрын

This is the follow-up video for the bull gear repair. Here we are machining the new 1-15/16" shaft requested. One end will need to be drilled in the center and tapped for a grease fitting. There's also two 1/2" keyways that are milled into the shaft. This was a long shaft at over 12' which provides a bit more challenge to handle for both lathe and mill work.

Oh, man ... it's the old Abom79 channel: machining! Only one product promotion, kind of - the Noga mister. Way to go.

@paulhunt598 2 жыл бұрын

Kool Mist makes a similar product to the Noga and I was using it long before I heard of Noga about 25 years ago. Noga products are generally well designed and last. Their very early mag bases used plastic knobs that failed. All of my more recent Noga bases resolved that design flaw. I don't mind a Noga plug. I have recommended their products ever since I bought my first product. A new machinist showed up with a Noga mag base. It was so handy that I had to have one. My son was in trade school at the time. He took that mag base to class and the college immediately made Noga mag bases standard student issue. The school was unaware of Noga before seeing my mag base. I have added so many Noga bases to be my tool inventory that my other premium quality bases stay in the tool chest drawer. I do take pride in the Starrett base and drag it out mostly to be smug.

@@paulhunt598 I worked with Noga starting in the mid 80's. In those days you dealt with the Israeli's and the factory directly. Now there are 8 -10 tool company's that rep them in North America. Their world wide presence is huge these days as well! They started with quality products and continue to this day. Good company!!

@paulhunt598 2 жыл бұрын

I tend to have favorite brands and only get tempted to jump (brand) ship when I discover a truly better product. I had my heart set on a Mitutoyo base of similar function to Noga in the early 80's, but it was too pricey for my then poor man's salary. I discovered the Noga brand just about the time that my tool budget pocket was getting a bit deeper. They have some very fine innovations in indicator holders and deburring tools. I own quite an array of their indicator holders, mag bases and common deburring tools, but none of their fancy deburring products. Common Noga products are pretty inexpensive if you purchase them from the trade school dropouts. Noga seems to be their standard student issue. I generally pick up these products in same as new condition. I buy tools for my 23 sons, sons-in-law, and grandsons. The Noga products make nice filler gifts and they have adequate pricey product options if I need a special gift. I haven't seen one of those Mitutoyo mag bases that I once treasured in many years. Noga may have improved the concept enough that Mitutoyo dropped the product. My first Noga mag base has unpainted aluminum arms. Do they still make a similar version? It is still possibly my favorite, and still gets the most use. It sports shop made knobs since it was made in their knob plastic failure era.

When turning a 21 foot shaft half a century ago we used a steady rest, follower rest, passed it through the head stock, and reduced the whipping of the ends by drilling holes through both of the wood walls of the shop, then greased them. We could get about 5 feet at a time, then slide the shaft again, and resume. Admittedly, that’s not always an option.

Using T slot on mill table to align shaft and aid in clamping 4. Using gantry to support shaft long end 5. Using fixture on mill table to mount steady rest for lathe support 6. Tricks to clear 2 flute plunge milling key slot 7. Rule of thumb for key .001 interference fit and clearance for key depth Your instruction style is among the best on KZfaq. You seem to understand intuitively what the novice needs to see and hear.

Nice ideas for long work pieces. Funny how people always do things the way they were taught, I was always taught to look up in the machinery's handbook, they have a chart with key width and shaft size that tells you how much to add to half the key so you can just touch off on the top of the shaft.

Smart young man, built himself a steady rest for his wood lathe, almost four feet in diameter, mainly out of plywood, that lets him stabilize large vases while turning them.

Some time ago, I did some work for a company that used a bunch of agitators, a belt drive and thrust rated bearing on one end and a straight rubber bushing and propeller on the bottom, but they wanted to reduce cost/stock where possible. We wound up creating a top and bottom short machined round bar with a stub designed to slip into a heavy wall pipe that could be cut to length as required. They were also big fans of how it didn't weigh nearly as much as a solid hunk of round bar and the fact that they were much easier to produce and comparatively low cost if a two foot round bar is scrapped.
