Making bearing mounts for my shop made line borer.

In this video I make 4 bearing mounting plates, 1 bearing housing and 12 stands.
First job, after cnc plasma cutting the 20mm mounting plates, is to machine the centres out to 114mm. The 3 jaw chuck is mounted into the 4 jaw so the plates can be held on the outside edges.
The bolt holes are then drilled in the milling machine using the rotary table.
Next is to cut out some 25mm plate to use as the flange plate on the bearing housing. After cutting them out they’re tacked onto the round bar, preheated and welded round. Once cooled its mounted into the lathe and machined to the required dimensions. The bearing was a little tight in the housing so the die grinder and sanding wheel was used to open up the hole slightly. The bearing is pressed in and a spacer is made to space the second bearing away.
Last job is to make 12 stands that bolt onto the mounting plates. They are drilled, tapped and machined to size in the lathe.
The bearing housing, mounting plates and stands are then assembled and ready to use!
Hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching!

  • A dial indicator that mounts in the spindle would sure be helpful to you when you go to center things on the mill. It's also some pretty simple trigonometry to be able to figure out x and y coordinates for a hole pattern so you can put them in without using a rotary table. 10:06

  • I had a similar project to do last week where I had to put round plates on the bottom of some round stock, I center drilled all the round plates on the lathe (gonna drill them afterwards for the shaft/bearings anyways), put the round stock in the jaws and then used a live center to press the round plate up against the stock via the previously center drilled hole, tacked the two together and repeated the process (I had about 50 of them to make)

  • Excellent helpful video . A bore welder would would be an extremely useful addition in order to make the best use of this line borer. In order to get the Mig wire to feed into the bore and synchronize correctly with the rotational speed several challenges would need to be overcome. Whether it would be possible to reverse engineer a manufacturers bore welder I am not sure as this would require a good knowledge of electronics in order to get the feed motors to work correctly with each other ? It would be very interesting to see some bore welding videos if it is possible to make a bore welding machine. Keep these videos coming please.

  • Reaching through the bearing mounts and welding the bore by hand is still a pain in the backside. No matter what the bearing mounts always seem to be in the way or something is obstructing your view. I don't know about you, but I find if I cannot see I have a hard time welding. That as we know is where the bore welder comes in to play better than anything else. The bore welder does not care about such things, it just welds away. Nevertheless hats off to you sir for tackling a problem and fabricating a nice solution. I do like the three point bearing mounts quite a lot. I will be interested to see what solution you come up with for a bore welder, whether shop made or purchased. Are you able to start a cut with the pattern torch if need be from a drilled hole any place you like? or do you have to start from a fixed spot? Or is drilling a hole to big of a nuisance to bother with cutting slots? Cheers

    @warrenjones744@warrenjones744 Жыл бұрын

    • Hand welding is no fun. I look forward to the time when I have a bore welder 😆 I can start cutting from wherever, I just have to tell it where in the cam software. It’s a bit of a nuisance having to drill holes as you have to run the whole program and start and stop it to mark the pierce points. After the little mishap with the torch touching the slag, I stopped it after each pierce to knock off the slag. It’s not an issue when you can have a longer lead in.

  • Is self aligned bearing may be the only option instead of the 2x2 bearings? The 2x2 must always be in perfect perfect alignment after you remount them after welding. This could be an issue in particular for longer distances: a tiny underneath that 2x bearing mating surface and you're to far out when the bearings are say 1 meter apart. In other words you need to work very clean meaning the the mating plate with the 3 bolts need to be turned flat too and kept very clean????

Old machines over time can have all sorts of crap in the suds sump which never get changed. Re the gloves I think fresh disposable ones over the ones you are using as you will take them on and off and what is on your hands will be in the gloves. I am 62 and been using Dads old lathe since i was 12 and got caught up once as I used a file to take of the sharp edge like he used to do. My jumper got caught in the work piece and was dragging me into the chuck.
