Hi Folks, at 1.15minutes, were you just relying on pressure from the live centre to hold the pressure plate against the faceplate via contact with the release breaking? and is the carbide ground to the form profile of the spring pressure ridge, of are you just removing high spots with a light skim! great work, very impressed!
Hi Mark, Yes the pressure against the faceplate was more than enough to drive the pressure plate while taking light cuts. At first we were just experimenting to see how much needed to come off to clean up the highs and lows. Then we used a shaped tool to retain the curved profile, but we only focussed on the part that the spring makes contact with.
Excellent video as usual David and Ian, well done.
😍😍😍
