Engine Block Repair

[Jammer Six]

This was it! Thank you!...

[Jammer Six]

Wow. There's a lot there! Thanks!...

[Jammer Six]

Not sure I could get behind a repair procedure that involves scraps and burning camel **** with diesel.

Good to see an apprentice treated...

[Jammer Six]

I see. So one buys a chuck to get the jaws? Or at least one pays attention to the jaws when one buys a chuck?

[Jammer Six]

If I'm shopping for just the jaws, where would I look? I only see two piece jaws with chucks out there, but I'm sure that's because I don't know where...

[Jammer Six]

Given a small lathe, (9x20, in this case) what is the biggest three jaw chuck you would use?

Is it different for a four jaw?

...

[Jammer Six]

Late again, doozer.

[Jammer Six]

Why are two piece jaws a CNC thing? It seems to me they'd help us, too...

[Jammer Six]

The job is finished. None of the catastrophes anyone here chattered about happened.

So.

I guess Kurtis was right, and about...

[Jammer Six]

One of my favorite sayings. I love to whip it out.

Man who says it can't be done shouldn't interrupt the man doing it.

[Jammer Six]

Out of all these opinions, I think I'll listen to Kurtis.

Given goods for sale of any type, and given a market for that good, (which exists) there is one reason and only one reason why said goods do or do not...

[Jammer Six]

A new hobby! Oh, yes, a new hobby! That's exactly what I need! Shiny, very shiny, a shiny new hobby!

[Jammer Six]

Cosine is .992.

Almost one. (One foot, one inch, whatever. Or one thou.)

Compound rest set to seven degrees, (or thereabouts)...

[Jammer Six]

That was interesting.

So tell me this: is tearing chucks apart and re-building them part of being a machinist?

[Jammer Six]

Ah!

So this procedure isn't going to work if I just waddle down to the basement and try it without modifying my chuck!

Now,...

[Jammer Six]

Leads us directly to the next stupid question, what the hell is a "set-through chuck"?

[Jammer Six]

It looks a lot easier than bumping the work. But it looks like after the last bump, he tightens all three bolts down without checking.

Anyway,...

[Jammer Six]

More stupid questions.

Watching the thread on content creators, I found the name Gotteswinter.

Watching one of his videos, I...

[Jammer Six]

Well, if it's junk, it's American Starrett junk.
