Here are some new tool ideas from the mind of Theseafox. PART 1.
Some are inspired buy others posts in this blog.
The first one is a great item for all Lathe users. Similar items on Ebay cost $25 PLUS!
This item was made from an old Protractor ruler and a piece of rod.
It accurate to about 1/2 a mm. Not as exact as a Digital Caliper But OK where accuracy is
not so important and quick changing tools.
the next item today is one seen on the net. I supersized it.
Made from a 3 inch truck Bearing, some 3/8 steel plates and an old Socket Bar.
Best if mounted to a bench or Tree stump. A good log set in the ground works too.
The Last item today is the best for ANYONE that pulls Bearings.
THE KNEE PULLER!
No extra tools needed! No Vises, Wrenches, or needing 3 hands to use it.
Simply after attaching this tool the bearing, Have a seat, place the bar between the knees (or a vise if you insist),
and use two hands to slowly twist the bearing off. Made from a stripped out Chinese puller. A wide Variety of tips
screw onto the tip of the rod depending on the shaft. I will post pictures of some of the tips soon.
The nut located below the handle is for locking the tool to carry it and the shaft/Bearing Assembly.
Sorry the blurry picture but i think you get the idea.
thanks folks
