Broaching - Colchester ARBOR Press

No arbor press, no problems! I recently purchased some broaches off AliExpress in order to broach my flywheels & gears. I had to make a arbour sleeve and use the old Colchester Master 2500 lathe as an arbour press.

    Theres something to be said about good old Aussie ingenuity. What a brilliant idea to press in a keyway broach using the tail stock of the lathe bloody genius if you ask me. Just a thought I had regarding them gears you mentioned at the end. Why dont you look into using them nice 3d printed ones as a template for doing them as a casting? You could set up a little sand casting mould and do them out of aluminum cans or some of the cast swarf maybe I dunno Ali cans for sure thought that would work great and not be too expensive to do.

So I had to go down a different route. That's why my nickname is Humpty Dumpty machining company. Bloody motor mechanic (my first trade) coming back out in me. Great idea about the cast gears.

    Swarf and resin will be hard to pour and will probably get a lot of air entrapment. I get great results with garnet sandblasting media (grit) and about 20% resin, it is cheap, heavy, and incredibly strong when set due to the very high strength of the garnet particles. And it comes out as a reasonably attractive purple-brown colour. Rather than mix it too dry (which most people do with epoxy-granite type mixes) I mix it wet enough to pour off a spoon, then pour it in and tap it settled, then skim any excess resin off the top.

    • @AaronEngineering
      @AaronEngineering 2 місяці тому

      Hello and thanks for the feedback. That’s some good advice. I didn’t think of using that. I did two pours yesterday of the resin. I did notice that the weight of the cast swarf did tend to sink down causing the resin to lift up. I just kept sprinkling more cast on it until full. Cheers Aaron

      @AaronEngineering Great! I can't wait to see the result. 👍 Yeah the swarf can work if it is very fine particles rather than curly tails. Curly tails get entangled and clump up and get a lot of air entrapment etc.

    G'day Aaron. Excellent job using the arbor, finding that everything fitted together eventually. I noticed you put oil on the key & shaft before you assembled it. I don't remember oil going on the broach when cutting the slot to size ? At least you know what your next project izzzz .. Build a 20 ton Press 😮😅😊. Ted

      G’day Ted. Always good to hear from you mate. Yes cast contains graphite (self lubricating) so I didn’t use oil when broaching it. I did put some oil on the shaft as it was a tad tight and I wanted to get if off again 😂. Cheers 🍻 Aaron

      G’day Ian. Glad you got a laugh mate. A bit of Aussie humour to make the video go down easier 😜. Cheers Aaron
