What's on your bench today?

No resin will hold it, helicoil is difficult in plastic so the oversized one is the way I would go.

You would be amazed at what has gone through my bandsaw over the years apart from wood. It would have done the mince in seconds no problem. That's what butchers use anyway although its all stainless steel to meet hygiene regulations !

Yup, used saws on meat before and find a mallet and chisel good on splitting chicken pieces and stuff like that. I think 180 dec C kills most of the bacteria:001_rolleyes:

Had a 346Xp in with a wobbly clutch drum, the owner suspected a worn crank but had to make sure I wasn't embarking on a full tilt repair rather than a simple new bearing fix.

 

A new bearing showed that the play was still significant as did fitting a different drum so measured the crank where the needle runs and there was around 0.25mm difference from the inner to outer edges - this became pretty obvious once the crank was out and inspected as in the first pic - note the wear as the bearing surface reaches the threaded area.

 

The saw was stripped, the splitters were mounted on the bar mount and the crank pushed out from the clutch side cases - make sure ALL the bolts are out and the oil is drained:001_rolleyes:. The bearing popped out with the crank....bugger!

 

The crank was pushed out from the other side of the cases, the bearing moved but stayed in and was driven back in later.

 

The bearing was removed and then pushed back in to the cases, make sure the bearings are free moving IN the cases and it is worth cleaning them whilst at this stage.

 

Looks easy doesn't it:sneaky2: Well it is if you have the RIGHT KIT and EXPERIENCE:thumbup:

In my experience that doesn't look easy!
