You offering?It's a 20min job tops for someone careful with a lathe.
If he brought it to me, yes... Doubt that will happen since hes at the other end of the countryYou offering?
How can you see what needs doing?It's a 20min job tops for someone careful with a lathe.
Yes totally agree, this is a "give us a drink" job.If he brought it to me, yes... Doubt that will happen since hes at the other end of the country
Basically he needs to find a workshop with a lathe and go in with the boss stripped off the wheel, a couple of £20 notes (1 should do it, but 2 just in case) and a *brief* explanation of what to do to it (none of this "its been catching here and here on my car and I've tried this and this and it did not work and here's the jackanory story") just take the OD down to X diameter and Y length, make sure they use some fresh ally for soft jaws, and have at it. It literally is a 5 minute job to turn, 5 minutes to set up in the chuck with soft jaws, and 10 minutes talking time.
No need for soft jaws. It’s not a precision part,it’s clearance. Put a bit of paper around it and don’t tighten the chuck like a gorilla and you will be fine.You could also do it between centres without a drive dog if you are careful.My lathe is free and accessible. If you want to run it up to kidderminster.
You can turn it yourself or I can do it for you.
Only thing I would say is Munkul mentioned fresh Ali and soft jaws.
I don't have those..
In case anyone else wants learn about soft jaws . Although this is high tech CNC it does show what they are..https://youtu.be/dRMm9P9XdbY
My guess in the Ops case a large 4 jaws and copper strips would do the job.
What I meant was just a few fresh strips of ally to go between the part and the jawsMy lathe is free and accessible. If you want to run it up to kidderminster.

Using my eyes, reading the description of the problem and using my engineering experience to offer a solution to the problem....?How can you see what needs doing?
No stress. it was just you mentioned softjaws and I could not see why.Using my eyes, reading the description of the problem and using my engineering experience to offer a solution to the problem....?
Sorry to take the pee, but I mean... come on. It's obvious.
