That's a very interesting concept.

I've made a few myself, including R8's. I rough turn on the lathe and finish grind on the T&C grinder. I set my grinder taper by indicating off a...

Like I said , if 30 tons doesn't move it, wedges won't.

If you can't get the arbor to pop using your 30-ton press it's doubtful that the wedges would do it.
I would try putting a little heat to the body...

That looks like who ever made it put a lot of time and thought into it even if it was copied. I can't believe how well it cleaned up. Vinegar and water...

How did I not see that ??

Sounds like it should work then as long as the flattened ends don't split or tear open from being stretched....

I know this conversation has been about how to make this tool but I have to ask once you pinch the pipe, and I'm assuming it's copper pipe, and shut off...

I would try Digikey or Mouser.

Just like using a wood lathe. Great for odd shapes / contouring where accuracy isn't critical.

That's it. Pretty simple. I cleaned everything again, put it back together and it's working fine. So not sure what happened other than the check ball...

Never venture into those places. I can well afford to buy a new coffee pot. But there is nothing wrong with this one other than the valve.

I don't have a 3D printer as I mentioned previously. One of these days maybe. But how would it print a ball inside the cage without having the ball fused...

I've always used filtered water from the refrigerator so no mineral build up issues. I do run distilled white vinegar through it about once a year but...

No, heater tube is clear, but I have worked on others that were clogged up because bottled water was used and that's high in minerals.
