I always take them, it’s a matter if I can share them or not.

That one is a Climax setup. Our larger 5” bar setup is a shop made Climax knockoff. Should have that one setup and running this summer sometime.

Hey there, welcome to the site, Wainwright here. At least when I’m home and not working. Lol

One thing I believe is that every Canadian should do the road trip across Canada at least once in their lives. I’ve done most of it a few times, and still see new stuff each time. Tentative plans to drive east to Ontario again this summer actually.

It’s 242 that I’m using, on 10-32 setscrews. They need adjusted sometimes, and the locktite gives enough drag to prevent them working loose. I can see in a real low torque application it may be too much.

Blue loctite doesn’t need heat to undo, at least the one I use for gib setscrews on our portable equipment. Will check which product code it is tonight.

There’s stuff out there called CCO, hardface fused to a steel backer so it’s weldable. Used on mining shovel buckets, it lasts quite a while. Just need to find some small pieces and weld them on. To the original poster, from a former Ontarian, welcome aboard!

Definitely another option. Or leave the bearing cartridges outside overnight.

I finished it last night, guys on day shift did the teardown. Seems I was about 3-4 tenths undersize. Nothing a swipe with a die grinder and a flap wheel won’t fix. The inner face didn’t need machined for those wondering.

Due to the locations I work, often there are rules about phone and camera use. However right now I’m at a spot I can share a little. I work as a field machinist, primarily repairing large dirt/mining equipment. Currently working on a track frame rebuild. Tonight’s job is to finish the bearing...

I’ve been to Ironman’s, he has some nice stuff he’s put together. Back to the original post, for small stuff I can’t think of much else, though there are two Princess Auto stores. Haven’t been into United tool yet, but there are several industrial tool suppliers in town. What they actually...

Just spent some time and read through the whole thread. For me these days it’s the $20 dollar safety glasses with built in readers. Makes it easy to stay safe and not subject expensive prescription glasses to the elements of metalworking.

Hmmmmm.

Did some quick searching and couldn’t find accurate specs for this model. Anyone know what spindle bore would be, spindle mount, and what threads it will cut?

That is a nice looking grinder. Just not something I have a use for these days.
