One shrink fit and half a keg of moonshine later we're golden ...very happy lol

The method I normally use is to get frozen to the pin, get burned by the casting, jamb up the press, and then knock the whole setup on the floor.

Good finish on yours!!

It’s always best to heat the whole part in a something like an oven rather than localised heating. When heating with a torch the expanded material close the centre has nowhere to go since the outside of the part is still relatively cool this can sometimes make the bore smaller!. In this case it was the underside that must have had a heat induced taper. I love your videos and never see you make a mistake without explaining your reasons for/against afterwards.
I work for a UK based engineering company with 14 years tool based experience, just passing on some knowledge an old timer kindly/angrily gave to me

Watching shrink fits gives me the hives. That moment when it suddenly won't budge any further and I fall off my chair. Glad it worked well, Josh. Good repair, as always.

[thefreedomwarrior]

As someone who owns an old baler, I liked this one.

[BrucePierson]

It's always good to be able to repair expensive parts and save customers a fortune as opposed to them buying a new part. It also works when the part is no longer available, as it saves an old machine so they don't have to spend an even bigger fortune to replace an expensive machine.

Jeez I hated hay bailing when I was young. It would be fun to see the owner's reaction to his machine working quietly for the first time in forever.

[glenncpw]

Regardless what is said, it worked, which is the object of the exercise. People seem to forget this is a business, not hobby. Good onya

[bcbloc]

When it gets stuck before it goes to depth its always a heart racing moment. Glad you got it the rest of the way!

[papalilburn]

You earned that "shot" for sure! Awesome work!
A good neighbor to your customers!

[greglaroche]

Being able to make your own dry ice is nifty. Thanks for the video.

Yesterday was a major stressful day here at the shop (auto shop) so it was relaxing watching this today, Thanxx

[carrollprice]

Thanks for not skipping over routine metal working. Also, mentioning the type or class metal used for various jobs would help us novices better understand what metal holds up best for particular applications.

Hi Josh, Twin Sticks renovates old American trucks, I referenced him because of the beer comment you made, Kurtis however is a very good Aussie machinist and well worth a watch.

[StuartsShed]

That went great actually. I thought 3 thou was a pretty heavy interference when you were talking through the parts - but the beauty is that it isn’t ever coming out of there. Handy to have the press close by. ✌️👍

We did a similar one at work and unfortunately got stuck half way. The bastage wasn’t going in or out, so we had to start over and machine the pin out. Bummer.

[DarkWolf]

nice unintentional wave effect with combined rolling shutter and vibration.

[BrucePierson]

That must have been scary when the pin got stuck. Great work rushing to the press to get it home.

[terryfromsouthcarolina]

At the plant i worked at we did a LOT of shrink fit repairs.
They were all nail biters.
Some went wrong. That sucked because production was down on that machine.
I have had a pin like that upon cooling crack the bore. That sucked. It was a big repair.
I dont drink but i almost started that day. I was the shop supervisor and ALL eyes were on me.
I'm glad I'm
Cheers
Terry

Well done Josh. Every machinist that I watch has a “Whew!” moment when the interference fit is done. Good to see your preparation and urgency for the s*** moment. Good job bringing us along in the moment.
