Those broken studs are just crying for EDM. That would be the ideal way to get them out of there with no damage to the housing. Thanks for another really interesting and educational video.
Nice little DiAcro. I remember we had a large one in the middle of our High School metal shop. It hardly got used. The jocks in our class liked to swing around on it.
I am glad that they were smart enough to bring that turbo to you instead of butchering it by trying to drill the studs out themselves. Nice job on both projects.
Those Di-Acro units are awesome, we had one at the school where I taught. Quite the challenge with the turbo too, are those studs using that special exhaust locking thread like the Ford pickups use? It's a strange thread form.
Everett, The Turbo studs have had a few changes over the years, but are 10 MM 1.5 thread pitch. Nothing fancy as far as threads, but they have changed materials a few times. I really appreciate you stopping by my channel. Gary
Guy, I’m a total newbie to the Di-Acro benders. I’m assuming mine is pretty old. But for the price I could not pass it up. I did pay $150.00 for the larger one. I think that was a good deal. Thanks for stopping buy Guy. Gary
Nice tool for $20. Is that the same Irwin that now owns Vice Grip etc.? That has to be the biggest dam turbo I've ever seen. Nice repair Gary. You must have lots of patients. I do a job like that it would be one beep after another. Take care.
Randy, good question, I'm not sure if its the same Irwin. When they told me the small bender was only $20.00 bucks I was able to look right past the rust. I learned many years ago if I don't have a little patients with certain jobs they will bite me in the A@@ Thanks for stopping by Randy. Gary
Question, have you tried a plasma cutter? I know you said you didn't want to heat it up. I drilled 18" 3/8" holes down some really large connecting rods once we had a bunch of them to make the hole was an oil path to the berrings on both ends of the rods, these were cast iron and they had more sand pockets then a 4x4' child's sand box. I busted drill bits drilling them about every 2" if I even made it that far, we did these on a 42" chuck on a lablond turret lathe that lathe wasn't used much anymore i belive my uncle picked it up at an auction I think it came from a ship building factory it was an old wwIi relic he bought a lot of old machines that way we'd fix them up either keep them or sell them. That was one big ass lathe. Most our production machines were cnc. But the old conventional tools are worth having for one off jobs. Its a shame you say scrapers buy and bid on this stuff its a waste of good machinery. The stuff has lasted 70+ years it will be around 150+ more Someones always going to find a use for it. That wasn't our biggest lathe it was our longest horizontal lathe. We had a vertical lathe with I thing a 5' chuck That thing would throw chips 15 to 20 feet red hot and a 1/4" thick let me tell you they came off the lathe and hit you they friken hurt. I know they've made larger lathes you start getting a big part in one of them it just looks scary.
Would love to find one of those in my area for that price. Was that factory weld on the handle gussets of the large Diacro? Great repair on the Turbo. See you next time.
When is a left-handed drill the right tool to get those studs out? Obviously you have to have one to choose it. I like the ship, too. None of that in my neighborhood!
Glenn, The threaded part has to be fairly loose in order for left handed bits to work. And that is almost never the case when dealing with engine exhaust systems. When your dealing with stuff like this turbo you just drill them out. Thanks for stopping by. Gary
For the smallest one, which I think is what he restored, the base price without tooling is $2200.00!!! The basic tooling is something like another $1000.00!! Wish I could run up on one for $20!
It’s great watching you approach a task which is out of the ordinary, with many possibilities for failure, on a piece of machinery that must be incredibly valuable, with such confidence - I would be *hitting myself that I’m about to destroy it - your experience is awesome.
I enjoy your channel and share your love for tools and machines, But I cringe every time I see the clutter overflowing all your work benches. Doesn't it affect you?
I reached out when you were doing the giveaway, I'm very interested in the treblanca XY rotary tables that you got. My email is in your account, please let me know if you're willing to sell or trade. I have tons of vintage proto ...

I love di-acro tools built like tanks, I bought me a used finger brake and been eyeballing one of these for ages.
Nice little DiAcro. I remember we had a large one in the middle of our High School metal shop. It hardly got used. The jocks in our class liked to swing around on it.
Tom, That sounds like something the jocks would do :) Gary
Another great video Gary , I'm learning . thanks for sharing
Thank you sir, I appreciate that. Gary

Nice job on both projects.
Great video production, discussion,rebuild &repairs
Thank you my Friend, Gary
Nice restore and repair of the turbo Gary. I like the ship.
Thanks Randy, I'm sure you have spent plenty of time on ships like that, and much bigger. Thanks for stopping by, Gary
@@OldIronMachineWorks Yeah a bit, 30 yrs.
Again two excellent jobs, Gary. top.
I appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time. Gary
Nice benders, always interesting to see how people get broken bolts out. a good old handmade thumbs up. Be safe.
Thank you very much. Gary
Great video . Cheers .
I appreciate that Max, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Gary
Hey Gary.......Great video thanks for giving us some good content!!!
Mike, Thank you for watching them. Gary
Beautiful benders!
Thanks Yuchol, Gary
Well done Gary. That was a huge pile of broken bolts for a fact.
Thanks Harold. I'm glad you took the last few minuets for your self on Sunday. It was nice seeing you. Gary

I have that same bender Gary. I seem to remember that mine has needle bearings around the action though. Great video, thanks for sharing!

@@OldIronMachineWorks anything from Diacro is top-notch in my book. At that price you stole them! Lol
Ah, broken studs. Always very delicate and time consuming.
Michael, Yes they defiantly can be. I still need to send you a email. I want to swap stickers with you. Hope your doing good. Gary
Nice job.. and thanks for the channel sticker..
You are welcome Doug, And thank you, Gary
Great bolt removal. Tricky stuff at times.
Thanks Robert, Gary
Nice tool for $20. Is that the same Irwin that now owns Vice Grip etc.? That has to be the biggest dam turbo I've ever seen. Nice repair Gary. You must have lots of patients. I do a job like that it would be one beep after another. Take care.

I did not, On this job I think a plasma would of made a mess. But I have used Plasma for getting other broken bolts out. Gary
Great content as always. Hope to meet you at the Bar Z bash in the future
That would be nice. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. Gary

Vernon, I’m not sure about the welds. These are the first Di-Acro benders I have had. Hope you are doing well. Gary

Those Di-Acro benders are over $700 dude.
You scored, again!
Ya, I was surprised when they only wanted 20 bucks. Made it well worth fixing. Thanks for checking out my videos Jeff. Gary
