Clutch Disc & Bearing Flange

I share this video, to catch you up with a few of the next steps with the gearbox on Pearl. The clutch disc for the drive pully is now under reconditioning and cutting out the disc for it in my new WAZER PRO start off the program today and then I share a cut I made on 3/8” bronze ring I used in a marine bearing application.
Life is good! Cheers, Keith

To the USA from me in the uk congratulations are in order. Well done and god bless America. Let it be known my priminister does not answer for the people of the United Kingdom.

Keith, you’re spoiling us with lots of videos lately but I’m definitely not complaining, more the merrier as far as I’m concerned! Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. The intricacies of the internals of Pearl is fascinating, she’s going to be as new, if not better than new. Thank you.

A version of a Rockford or Twin Disc over-center type clutch. Many applications. The engine clutch on old crawler tractors for example.

I have never seen the clutch on my CBB Monarch adjusted it one click in 20 years of use. Hopefully I won't ever need to see it. Sadly the Monster Monarch is down as smoke started wafting out of the motor the other day when I was using it and that isn't a good sign. 🤕

Towards the end there, I realized "how long have I been watching this water dance around inside of this thing?" It was kind of neat to see the way the currents work inside of the machine while it is cutting, the back and forth flow of the detritus, how the nozzle goes from being completely submerged to at a point with no water at all around the nozzle, the random splashes and bubbles that arise from what I guess is the abrasive bouncing around, and just the flow of the current. It was a bit hypnotizing.
Glad you found the time and inspiration to make some videos again. Looking forward to the next one.

Mr. Fenner the clutch will be good. Good wazer helps. Trump for president. Greetings from Germany.

Always a pleasure to watch your work. I get the water jets capabilities and enjoy seeing you adapt it to your shop, but I have to admit, filling time with watching a water jet move at a snails pace is not value added footage, at least to me. But as always, thanks for sharing.

I would like to see the setup you had on the jig to hold that tube you were boring, it’s pretty much self explanatory but a quick overview and details like the thickness of the bottom plate that is fastened to the table of the K&T. Also what type of leg is supporting the tube at the far end and what holds that up, is it adjustable? Thanks for sharing and have a good one!

On thick material like that bronze plate would drilling a starter hole speed up the process and also save on the abrasive use? Seemed like it took quite a while to pierce.

Keith - can't agree with you more. Trump 2024!

[flarkel]

Is there any concern about embedded garnet in the clutch material?

Olá amigo Keith!!!
Trabalho bastante interessante como sempre, boa sorte!!!
