hi Nigel the Bearing boys are not Single Row Angular Contact Bearing I have looked and researched it

thanks Kev

OMG I have just jot the cost for my 2 off mill bearings, when I picked myself up from the floor what a rip off from a UK supplier Part No: 7006 Single Row Angular Contact Bearing Brand: NTN or equivalent Quantity: 2 Price each: £75.50 total £151.00.

I called Chester machine tools with no luck all they said was we do not stock or sell them is this the case for Chinese machines'

looked at most UK bearings suppliers and on eBay in the UK they do not stock the size 30x55x13 the US & China have them but are as good as they look

as for my first post do I change to tapper bearing to keep the cost down

thanks Kevin

John that for that I will keep it standard as it has lasted this long all the best

kevin

hi John did you have to modify the spindle for the extra 4mm taken up with the taper bearings

hi my spindle bearings are shot in my Chester Champion Mill the Chinese bearings have lasted 12 years the question is do I fit like for like, the angular bearings 30x55x13.

or do I modify the spindle and fit taper bearings 30x55x17

any suggestion please

thanks for the suggestions i also had a look on you tube and found some good help as well

will i have to use a tipped cutter as i am not sure how hard this rail is any idea on the red, yellow & blue marking are

ty Kevin

That looks very nice show item but i want to use mine it would be a shame to use that one i do not want a point on the end as i do not want to forge steel or make horse shoes just general workshop bashing

hi guys i want to make a simple anvil not sure where to start any suggestions please.

thanks Kevin

The rail is a sample from when they lay new track it is about 10" long i was told it is a heavy haulage track that they use on the iron ore run from the docks to the steel works, 2 engines pull 4,000 tones on each run to the Steel works.

hi thanks for that it looks like tool steel then

ty Kevin

hi can anyone identify a bit 3" diameter steel that i have found it has blue and white paint on the end of the bar

ty Kevin

Caution it looks like it has asbestos on each end as well

hi thanks for the tip i have some bees wax in the workshop i will give it a go and thanks for all the help i have some thing to look at

ty Kevin

ty kevin

hi all i need some advice

has anyone fitted a coolant system to a Warco CY90 3 1/2" Bandsaw to get a longer life out of the blade.

i have found the band drive pulleys get very hot when cutting a lot of steel and they expand and i have had blades brake will the coolant help.

anyway back to the coolant has any one fitted one to the Warco CY90

thanks kevin

i went to sharpen some wood chisels with no success the 2 sided oil stone had hollowed on both sides . then wandered if can refurbish the oil stone had a good route in my tool box then

i put a Diamond dressing tool the type with the diamond braised on the end in to a fly cutter and milled it flat with a very good result it is good for the next 10 years

hope this helps some of you
