Machine New Headstock Bearings - Dealing with Precision Taper Mount Bearing Installation

[Mcgyver]

... or why I love the old quality stuff. Less than a micro run out achieved.

Still have not got my youtube back. There is zero reason from them cancelling me, and all I've got from them "it looks like you’ve already appealed & received an email outlining the final decision. We know it wasn’t the outcome you were hoping for, but there’s nothing more we can do on our end as these decisions are made very carefully, appreciate your understanding. All their email said was "email didn't give specifics, just "repeated violations of our spam, deceptive practices and scams policy". I cannot understand that, there is nothing like that there. It's like they or their bot has F*** Up and they refuse to consider that as a possibility so just repeat the previous answer. If a human spent 2 mins on my sleepy channel it would be clear there was no spam or misleading content, let alone something severe enough justifying termination without a warning. Such hubris.

Yeah, they're the 800,000 lb gorilla, but the trail of corporate history is littered with the carcasses of arrogant incumbents. They've lost perspective - there has be a sense of fairness between them and content creators and they're so big they no longer think that important, at least based on their actions/

So, until they smarten up, I'm going with "dailymotion" Consider switching yourself as youtube is can be so egregious. They terminate accounts without reason and with no more than an extremely vague explanation, and with no balanced human appeal process. Appealing to them on X is a bit like being the undertrodden in a Dickens novel

Anyway ..... enough whining, the subject is really about new precision bearing installation for a Schaublin 102 ..... or why I love the old, high quality stuff. Less than a micron runout on this 75 or 80 year lathe.

The bearing fit is obtained, to better than a micron, by driving a tapered inner race up on the taper on the hardened spindle shaft. How far you drive it up the shaft, expands the inner race and removes clearance in the bearing. I know! but it works.

I got this one so there is less than a micron run out, and you can't move the spindle shaft anything even approaching a micro by applying force. At the same time, rotation is easy and smooth.

@Mcgyver I know you likely dont want to hear this, but those types of notices and account eliminations are most often the result of an account commenting on trending videos with spam of all sorts. This is a common technique where organized groups hack hundreds of low use accounts of people who wont notice that their account has been hacked and used to make spam comments.

If you don't know what is going on it is hard to make the right appeal of a decision. Youtube can easily verify that an account was hacked and accessed from an IP address not usually associated with your account, but they dont care. They also blame the user for allowing their account to be hacked. It sucks and it is sad but as soon as you sign up to such sites they basically own you and your content leaving you little recourse.

I've never seen dailymotion. I'll have a look at them, but I suspect they're american too and I am starting US products boycott.. which will include youtube. No revenue from any of my activities for them.

Nice job. That's truly one of those "flick the tip" type of situations to make sure the indicator is still working or touching. Nice reward for what I can assume is a great deal of skillful work to get there. Must be a real pleasure to use such accurate machines.

Interesting..... I'd been thinking their bot erred on my content but you are suggesting it was spam posting to other accounts. I hadn't considered that. I've made next to no posts with that account.

Dailymotion is French, part of Vevendi.

Users of any social media accounts need to have super strong passwords, check in daily and be vigilant, and where possible use 2 factor authentication. In the old days spammers and scammers used to just create accounts to use to scam people. Now they find suitable accounts to hack instead.

The reason is that it gives them the appearance of legitimacy. CHMW has been the target of such scammers. They hack a facebook account and advertise a machine for sale. When a potential buyer checks the account it looks legit, on FB since 2009, has real but sporadic content but haven't posted in a few months. So you get incautious and send that deposit and wham, you've been scammed. On YT the scams are usually for crypto or such but same idea, hack a legit account.

Oh and to watch out for here scammers have created a new account, pretended to be acquaintances of well known members, and posted in threads saying that they were just at so and so's shop. They'd make about half dozen such posts. Then stage two of their attack they'd send DMs to people with "wanted ads" and say "so and so" had what you wanted to buy and send you an email to contact. In the specific case I referred to they claimed the machine was owned by another member here. That member hadn't been online in months so they felt safe enough making that claim. I spotted the scam quickly because the email address name didn't match up with the CHMW user.

Scammers are becoming super sophisticated. I think they're using chatGTP to deign scams and scrape sites for user data to find specific accounts to refer to, ones of well known members that have been dormant a few months.

I wish I'd have asked admins to collect every bit of information on that particular account to see what IP addy they used

Hmmm. Never did it that way Dan.

I have always preferred to apply a bit of positive and negative pressure to the holder. That way I can instantly assess the workings of the indicator (smooth, intermittent, sticky, etc) without changing my setup or getting a false sense of security from a needle that works but has too much hysteresis either internally or due to my setup.

Another major advantage of flexing the holder is that it can reveal any flaws in your indicator setup that you wouldn't notice otherwise.

It also helps calibrate my physical sense of the forces at play in my machine and work.

Lastly it gives me that last minute verification of which directions mean what on my indicator. It always amazes me to watch machinists who don't ever seem to have that problem!
