Thread: Lathe crash - help needed

Eskimo,
At least we have something up here, you guys get all the machinery deals down that way.
Brendan,
Good to here you got a set, they might not be the quality of the bearing supplier one's but you have a range on hand when you need them. I have used them on my mill and my son's big 30cc petrol RC car as well as other things, and they have held up no problem and they are made of reasonable good quality spring steel.

Dave

Awesome, thats good to hear.

Was that set from here in Aus or from overseas? because I looked for you the other day and couldn't find them.


Dave

From ebay man, they are in NSW...

Its funny, they have a lot of items that you see around the usual traps, only this mob are more expensive....yet their circlip offering is the cheapest on the net.

I find that happens with ebay sellers sometimes (one supercheap item, the rest more exy), although 95% of the time I find that if ozmestore1 have the item they are cheaper than everyone else.

Not sure if they have posted them but the external circlips are handy as well.

Where have I seen those things used before? They look familiar.

Holding mower wheels on is where I see them most.

"Holding mower wheels on is where I see them most."

ha ha, yeah i think thats where I recognise them from!

Yep mower wheels, I used them on the power feed stops on the mill. They make it easy holding things on round shafts that don't have enough room for threading. You can either make a groove with a cutting tool on the lathe or use a hacksaw to make it.

These are handy accessories, they also bring out roll pin sets, copper washers, metric nut kits, spring washers, split pins, R clips, grease nipples and loads of others.

Dave

You left out O rings Dave
Anyone seen a dowel pin kit? be nice to have some in the shed.

Bonded washers are used on the sump plugs of some cars from the factory... pretty good idea, they seem to seal better than plain aluminium or copper washers. Good idea for any drain plugs I reckon, you better buy some
