    Really interesting and entertaining! 👍
    I work with epoxy and can give you a couple of tips;
    1. Always *decant* the epoxy; mix for half the time in container 1, then pour/scrape into clean container 2 for the second half of fhe mixing time. This guarantees no unmixed components get into the final result.
    2. Buy some 10ml and 20ml nurse syringes from the pharmacist. The type that dont have rubber plunger but are entirely plastic. The larger syringes have large nozzles and can suck up and inject epoxy and is a good way to get the moglice into a hole without air.
    3. Never trust mold release! Rub it into the sliding parts multiple times, the rubbing/ burnishing is as important as the layer of release agent. Also, you should have rotated the main shaft once the epoxy set into a solid, but long before it reached full hardness. It becomes a solid long before its adhesive properties become full strength, so you loosen it once solid but before it is totally stuck! 😁

I really like your videos and your demand of high accuracy (must be a german thing) i sometimes work as a mecanic with a german supervisor when rebuilding metal manufacturing machines (GROB, Burkhart+Weber Liebherr etc) and i really admire their strive for precision. The biggest problem was to find the right tecnical terms in a language in english so it was a wierd miscung of english swedish and german. But it worked out good anyway

  • @ChimeraActual
    @ChimeraActual 2 года назад

    I don't think I'm ready to modify my new D bit grinder, must learn how to use it first. However, I really appreciate the rationale and detail you and Robin (and you, too, Tony!) provide. I'll be back!
    BTW, That epoxy bearing stuff looks interesting. I think it's an 100% solids epoxy pulled towards rigidity and toughness with a graphite filler; the modern Babbitt.
    I mixed a lot of epoxy in a prior life as a boat builder. When adding the hardener try to get proportions exact, if anything slight the hardener, too much hardener tends to yield a weaker, and stickier (i.e. will lift some mold releases, causing issues) result, especially with small volumes.
    This is the way I mixed it using a nice sized, squared tip stirring stick:
    25 full stirs clockwise
    insure that the corners are involved with a couple of swings along the bottom edge
    25 full stirs counterclockwise
    Again the bottom edge, clockwise
    25 full stirs clockwise
    If you need to add fillers, do it now, and stir 25 to 50 more, depending on the filler.
    Keep batch size down if possible, too big a batch left too long will smoke and may catch fire. Ask me about Olaf...
    If kept cool and dry epoxy has pretty long shelf life.
    I thought I heard you mention a syringe, a good idea if the tip is large enough to easily pass a viscous fluid.
    Great to see you using gloves, which you might have dipped in the epoxy and smeared in the bearing hole...
    Don't count on the release agent being perfect, two coats burnished is usually enough, though.
    Tape off everything you can, despite the mold release.

    Since watching Robin's video about his D bit grinder upgrade and watching how much you use yours, I finally purchased one but have not done any mods to it yet. After watching this fine video I know why I have been waiting to upgrade my grinder. f I do all of the upgrades at once I won't suffer from upgrade envy. Thanks for adding more items to my queued workload of shop upgrade projects. I can't die before I finish my list so essentially I am immortal.

    Another kit project that is found in need of a finicky machinist to solve the inherent problems. You are having too much fun doing this, and you know that it will last forever, so the paint must be as close to perfection as the enginerding and machining. Now the major question is….grey? Green? Red was already used so that would be too easy. White would be perfect! Any debris immediately observed! Can we have a Group Vote? Great video as expected, the only way you operate.

      Haha, it will just be a rattlecan paintjob :D
      Ral6011 green, like my lathe and the tool&cutter grinder.

    I have an old Induma milling machine. The Y screw and handle are way off to the side of the Center line of the saddle. That creates a lot of stress on the brass nut and screw. It wore out the nut and screw almost to the point you could pull the screw out. I replaced the lead screw but couldn’t get brass/bronze stock big enough to remake the nut at the time (thanks Covid). So I mogliced the nut to the new lead screw to form new threads. My take-away from the experience, injecting the moglice with a syringe was SUUUUPER difficult. Went through a number of syringes. Maybe too much hardener? Too small of syringe, who knows. But there’s a pile of moglice still on my shop floor where I spilled most of it… but, the job worked. The Y axis on that mill turns fine. I just need to do a better job scraping the dovetails because the Y screw still jacks the table back and forth….

      And ya, trying to break the screw loose after the moglice hardened was nerve raking.

      Moral of the story - it worked, but I don’t want to do it again.

    Quite an undertaken task. Interesting.
    Do we expect trapped air in the bore?
