    Default Babbit bearing job U tube

    I saw somebody doing this type of babbit bearing job on a car crankshaft years ago and I always wondered how it was done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZh2VZbqQiI

    Default Babbit metal

    MM, thanks for posting, I've never seen that done before, very interesting.

    I saw that big pair of scissors on his bench, I'd be tempted to cut off his silly, safety hazard, beard.......

    was quite a common job years ago for my old man as a marine engineer ( which keith fenner is by the way ) in the merchant navy .
    it was very often done at sea to keep something running and very often on shafts a heck of a lot bigger than the one in that clip . i still have a few of dads bearing scrapers that went to sea with him all those years ago .
