When I buy bearings I use SMP bearings in Carlyle st Christchurch, their prices seem ok.Ian S C
Got my 6" Vertex rotary table with dividing plates and tail stock in Christchurch, and direct from Taiwan about the same time as I got my lathe, also from Taiwan, through Paykels, now I think Blackwoods PaykelIan S C
Just catching up with this after having been away on holiday Looking good I'm not sure of the need to mill the cams in 1° steps unless you have CNC. I have used 6° steps without problems.
Pete, just out of interest, when you loctited the crankshaft together what clearance did you allow between pin/shaft and relevant bore in the web? I was thinking too much and it's a weak joint, too little and then no space for the loctite?Chris
Top Pick LOCTITE 620 is a high temperature (450 degrees F), high viscosity liquid retaining compound. Provides a shear strength of over 3,800 psi on steel. Locks and secures metal cylindrical assemblies up to 0.015' diametral clearance. Prevents metal fretting and corrosion. Seals against leakage. Recommended for high temperature retaining of parts with a clearance or interference fit, i,e, retaining bushes, bearings, seals, fans and liners. Requires heat cure to achieve temperature resistance. ABS Approved.This and Loctite 680
