[gduvic]

Very nice repair!

Thats a great save.

Amazing work! You are a true wizard in the art of fixing things!

Those studextractors/installers are the better ones.
Pulled many threaded rocker studs with them.

Somewhere i have some threaded collets just for what you be doin.

Threaded collets would so work.

Nice work Randy!

Thanks Brad. How y'all doing up there in Ohio?

I got one of these Wixy angle gauges for cutting compound miter angles. If I was squaring a saw on the drill press I would have used it for the job. Ya put it on the table then zero it and then set it on the work and get the work piece zeroed. It is a handy tool.
Nice Job!

Just putting it out there, Mastermind; I'm thinking of this like the old gear problem. Given the sympathetic orientation of the threaded surfaces the way this repair is done now, could this repair be improved upon if the threads in the 2095 case had been made left-handed and you cut left male threads on a binding post barrel with a low-profile head? If I had square access to a case halve's innards, I would want to machine a countersunk recess to accept the head and an o-ring from the inside.

Well Rev. Clearly you are a machinist guru of the highest caliber. I'd work for minimum wage just to clean up your swarf.

And now a confession; Randy, I was born without a swarf....

Say it ain't so bro.

No swarf ????? Do you at least have an oil can?

Nice machine work and repair MM...

I didn't like the idea of maybe slipping the part inside my collet. I like my collets........a lot.

The stud extractor can be used as a stud installer too.

I use my lathe tail stock to start taps all the time.
Put the tap loosely in your tail stock chuck, spin the part as slow as possible, leave the tailstock unlocked from the bed and push it into the part. Once it starts to bite it will pull the tail stock along, the tap will spin in the chuck before you break it or spin the part in the collet.

 

[Rx7man]

I run taps in the lathe just as srcarr does... when you reverse you should pull a little on the tailstock so the tap doesn't much the first thread trying to push the tailstock.

In this case (no pun intended) I'd have considered using a press-in stud.. I think the Husky 61's had them.. no threads in the case, and the square back of the studs could have a little bar welded between them to make sure they don't budge.

Looks really good and should hold well!

Great work. I might have tried to find the proper sized Time Sert first. What you did was basically make a Time Sert from scratch!

Just a stupid question, why not use an epoxy resin instead of the loctite?

I thought about that........sorta thought the thinner Loctite might be better about getting, and staying down in the threads. I thought the epoxy might just be pushed out when I assembled it all.
