What's on your bench today?

[spudulike]

I reckon I am in with a chance Justin. Do you pay travelling to and from work, or will I have to move?

 

Seriously though, I hope you get the right guy (or girl). Not many good ones around.

 

Yup, that M25 journey would be a killer each day.

 

I think that the yoooofff of today need an app to do anything and not found one to fix a typical mower, strimmer or saw yet!

 

Good luck with the quest:thumbup:

Mmmm:thumbdown: you were lucky though, reckon yours will live to tell the tale!

Trust my saw to be awkward, cant just break the bearing like most would.

Been having a tinkering day today, and I've fitted a spare 16" bar onto my 660! I may have taken the rakers down a little more than you're supposed to...!

Ehem, I'm younger than you pair (much) and I don't use an app... Other than arbtalk or YouTube...

Ok second time I've seen this. Think I might get a cv made up. Just got to work the PC again. Last time it went for a diving lesson. :lol:

 

Typically Barrie, you are spot on but the MS200 uses a crank bearing that has no inner ball race and is like a roller bearing with cylindrical rollers in just an outer race. The bearing went completely tits up and ground a slot out of the crankshaft that looked like original machining to me but obvious once assembled with new bearings or when compared to a good shaft!

 

I should have asked our Fountain of all knowledge - AKA Rich but he was contemplating his navel fluff whilst sitting on the bog - so his other half said:lol:

 

I just made that bit up:blushing:

 

That it. I'm checking my bathroom for cameras.....

Too late, you are on Youtube already:lol:

This is the MS200T crank bearing, note the strange cylindrical rollers and lack of inner race - the rollers contact the crankshaft so if a bearing fails, it can knock the crank shaft out!

yeah, yeah, rub it in, why dont you:blushing:

Make sure you're gonna use PPE if you plan to use it on that trampoline.

 

Here's my ported 2177 running rakers at about .055 on an 18" bar in seasoned maple.
