+Graham Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Despite people keep bringing me work I managed to get to complete the first of the four bearing housings today. The task was to turn this lump of flame cut plate measuring 210mm in diameter by 45mm thick into a bearing housing measuring 190mm in diameter by 40mm thick. Not only did the housing have to be a precision fit with the bearing case it also had to be a precision fit in the mount body's end plate. After a few hours work on the lathe and a lot of swarf it looked like this. Front View. Rear View. Bearing in place. Front View of the housing fitted to the end plate of one of the mount bodies. Rear View of the housing fitted to the end plate of one of the mount bodies. This will be welded into place during the final assembly. The complete thing. That only leaves me three more to do. More to follow as I get it done. BAZ, Doc and +Ibbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
