Bar Studs Stripped Out Of Case......How To Fix

[Mastermind]

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!

I did start my tap while the insert was still in the lathe. The insert slipped in my collet when the tap started biting hard though. That's why I ended up holding the part in the vice.

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.

Thanks!

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

LOL. I'm going to assume Rev is a journeyman. But someone got a offended. LOL

Not everyone is a Master............

Good into fo here too. Bar studs are aggreviating when stripped.

I've always used these. http://www.ezlok.com/inserts-for-metal/solid-threaded-inserts There is another style that I have used and can't find right now. It has four stakes that are driven in after the insert is seated. The pins dig in and about the only way to remove the insert is to cut it out.

Brilliant! I didn't even know such things existed.
