Very informative. Thanks.
Thank u. Wish u could show us the complete drilling and finish as well.
That was a REALLY GREAT VIDEO, so informative so intricate. I'm very glad I subscribe to this channel
Pouring babbit is a lot more involved than I thought! It definitely takes some skill.
Similar to pouring lead in plumbing. Great video! Thanks for sharing. Always heard about Babbitt bearings, but never new what they were
Very informative video. Thank you for the detailed explanations.
Nicely done.
Very good video, I never knew how that process was done.
Clay in a caulking gun? That sure as heck seems handier than mold dam. What product was it, if you don't mind?
Great work. Nice how to video. 👍
I have always wondered how Babbitt bearings were poured. I have always played with post WWII toys so my experience has been very limited.
Question. How do you center the shaft in the bearing block?
Stop collets, and high temp caulk...... The modern equivalent to using "Babbitt Doe" for containing the pour. You going to scrape in the clearances? 😉
Excellent question. By the looks of the machine...this unit is not that critical. But that process is very interesting as well.
What make and model of paint did you use? It looks like it stood up to the heat well.
What is the name of the clay sealer you are using.
Be very very quite I'm pouring babbitts
Babbet is lead?
Babbitt is a lead alloy. Easy to research on the web. It has different properties and varies according to the machine it is being used for.
Mostly tin with some lead. Contains also antimony and copper.
