Customizing a Graphite Thrust Bearing (Throwout Bearing)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2022
- In this video I'm going to customize a graphite thrust bearing for an oldtimer car. It had previosly installed a regular thrustbearing which unfortunately was too thick. Therefore the car had issues getting the gears in. We're now switching to a new graphite bearing, which are very common in oldtimers. All dimensions are identical except for the lower thickness and the bigger two shafts. I need to turn them down to ø10mm to make them fit into the clutch.
This is a detailed explained video going through all needed steps to get an accurate result.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I love getting to see the in-depth preparation and precision process. We don't get to realise or appreciate this gets done for all components behind the scenes when we watch the main videos. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
For the people pleasantly surprised with commentary from M.M on this video, you might not know on Patreon he does vlogs where you hear him speak about progress on current and future projects. If you can afford it it's highly recommended
Behind the scenes extra ;-) Thank you very much
I would but unfortunately I cannot support the company Patreon.
@@R_Forde I really respect that... 🤔
Never, every apologize for your English. You speak it perfectly well.
Great to hear the voice behind the magic. The usual lathe montage makes it look so simple but so much measurement and care goes behind it.
Glad to help
He should be well pleased with this. Thanks for sharing this, MM. I love watching you machine stuff beyond "I make a new one". I can't get the smile off my face!😁
He sure does if it works ;-) Thank you very much Vickie as always
@@mymechanicsinsights 😁
I always admire non-native people being so fluent in technical English.
Requires a lot of practice :-)
Remarkable precision, an absolute delight to watch such professionalism at work.
I've watched many (if not all) of your videos and wondered how you always got exact dimensions when turning parts. now I know! I didn't realize it takes several turns and adjusting the DRO each time. So fascinating to learn :)
Your English is impeccable. Thanks for hearing the voice behind the machine..
Many many thanks :-)
It's great to see the effort needed, even for such a small change. I'm no machinist and while I have a reasonable understanding I'm sure there are enough of us out there that won't have a clue how much work those speed cuts you show take!
Also your voiceovers are brilliant, I get why you don't always do it, but it's a huge help for the more technical videos 😁😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are always right so I only write about my past experiences. When it comes to graphite bearings vs roller or ball bearings, I have to say there is a reason graphite is part of history, particularly in sports vehicles. Beautiful work as usual.
So a hour long work cut down to a 10 minute video, i know the feeling
It’s so addicting to see you flying through the machining process in most of your videos. Sometimes you forget or don’t know about all the leg work that you have to do to get the results that you achieve. We’ll done.
I don't know if you have ever made a video introducing yourself and give some background information and how you acquired your experience that we see in your videos.. You are truly a master of your craft and we love watching perfection.. So anything you can share with us about yourself, we would love to hear.. Thank you MM for taking us along and allowing us to be a part of it.. Take care my friend and God Bless you and your family... Hope all is well in your part of the world...
He gives us snippets on Patreon. Come join the fun.
Thanks for the idea!
Watching you perform even a basic machining job like this gives me a great deal of pleasure. I admire your skill and talent.
Glad to hear that :-)
It's nice to see just how precise you make parts that are needed. I knew you made quality parts, I just didn't realize the amount of precision that goes into making the part. I know absolutely nothing about mechanical engineering but I do appreciate a job done with perfection.
Yes indeed, all the measuring and preparation you never see in the restoration videos.
I love your narrated videos, MM, especially when you show us the "why" of a technique (the zip ties are a perfect example). I'd wager that the custom-turned shafts are more finely tuned than the cradles in which they're seated. Thanks again!
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
I think videos like this where you discuss the process indepth are very good and have a large educational and entertainment value
Would love to see a video of you completely restoring your lathe. It does so much for you. It deserves it. 😊
Uff that'd be a ton of work, but cool I agree
I didn’t know there was computers involved with the lathe. It was cool to see that process. I always enjoy every one of your videos MM, thanks for your efforts!!!
Thanks 👍
Sensors are tracking highly accurate glass scales on the X, Y, and Z axis and displaying the readings on a monitor.
@@ellieprice363 Neat!
I was a flute player for 10 years and we used graphite to help the pieces of our instrument go together if they weren't sliding well. Because of the pads and cork, oil or any other liquid lubricant wasn't an option since it would ruin those things. I never knew graphite was used in a similar way in other fields!
This is pretty much your regular, run of the mill (pun intended), stuff that machinists do. But you make it much more interesting. Please post more content like this to help feed the My Mechanics need we all have so we don't starve in between your larger project videos. Love your care and precision.
He has a bunch of that here on the 2nd channel. He saves that stuff for here and restorations for the main.
Will do, thanks
Your video made me realize why there is such great cost difference in requesting different accuracy on milled parts
Right on
You make even the simplest jobs look so nice. It's nice to see someone being so very precise and patient in this crazy now now NOW world of ours.
Thanks a lot
Been watching since first deadlocked vise video. Have since watched every thing else multiple times. Cant get enough of your videos sir. Great job
Wow, thanks!
I like how you edit your videos when showing different steps. There's a nice rhythm to it that keeps the viewer engaged. Keep up the great work.
The 'Insights' channel is wonderful to watch and learn from. Just as much so as your regular one 👏👏👏. Thanks brother 🙏. 😎
I appreciate that!
It’s wonderful to hear your voice.
I love seeing how the CNC controller is set and how you orient it by placing the cutter at a certain position and zeroing it. Very insightful 😊
Thanks for the video! I really love these more in depth segments because it puts into better perspective all that goes into the kind of work you do. I hope to see more like this one soon. Take it easy, and happy turning!
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Thank you for making this video! I had asked a long time ago how you make precise cuts with the lathe. So cool to see the process.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow my mechanic made a new accent!! He sounds almost like an American now… amazing!!
He has loads of experience since he talks on his vlogs for Patreon.🤗
400 vlogs on Patreon defintely helped a lot :-)
I’ve been watching your videos from day one , it’s nice to finally hear you on video.
Here on the second channel, he has several narrated videos.
That’s just excellent, love your videos. And these where you explain your work is even better. Keep up the outstanding work. 👌🏼
"Not now babe, new My Mechanics video just dropped!"
enjoy
So lovely to hear you talk us through it.
Really liked the extra safety measures you had in places to keep you safe and the part secure. Great work as always👍
Very nice turning. A number of lathe owners on UA-cam could indeed learn from your high precision techniques. This is how we used to do it at the Rolls Royce Experimental Works when making high precision one-offs, short run or small batch parts for development aero engines during the 1970s. We used similar lathes too. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Hello My Mechanics! I don't know if you're comfortable with narrating your videos, but I have to say that this is great! It adds value to the work, as we can understand how to prepare the part, and also be more mindful of all the work you put in each job! I hope we see more narrated videos on this channel, the main channel can keep the 'silent protagonist' style hahaha, have a nice day! :D
Frankly, I was preferring the editing style of your previous video. They were different and made your style so unique. I’m probably too conservative. Great project anyway.
He has a bunch of narrated videos here on the 2nd channel.
@@peirossmallhomemachineshop5364 This was a quickly filmed piece and not filmed to the exactitude of the main channel.
Thanks, will do!
It's nice to see your machist process vs just the highlight shots for the "I make a new one."
Glad to hear that :-)
Love the work My Mechanics. I really appreciate seeing your process.
More to come!
Your skills are exceptional, i always find your videos enchanting and therapeutic, it’s always a joy to watch you systematically work and the end result is always jaw dropping…
Wow, thank you!
YOU HAVE A VOICE!!!!!! Love your work and channels. ❤️❤️❤️
The level of care and precision is uncanny.
Love these additional insights. Keep them coming!
I like this format of video. Your normal stuff is great, but it would be cool to have things like this more often too.
Noted!
Newer subscriber here, love your attention to detail. I've tried watching other similar channels, but again, your attention to detail continues to be unmatched. Wife says I'm OCD, I just say , no, I just like doing stuff right.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Didn't realize you spoke English so well.
After 400 vlogs on Patreon my english got a lot better ;-)
Thank you for sharing, explaining and giving us an indepth behind the scenes look at the process. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I ent no genius but you sir are a legend...i dont miss a vid that you make...my jaw always drop when you say i make a new one..i should have a shirt with that slogan😁.😎💪👌👍
Look at the Description below the Patreon follower list. There's a link to his T-Shirts.
I actually have shirts, check description
I'm a machinist and I approve of this video
I really like this style of video, it makes me feel a lot better about my own machining in school that you use a digital display like we do. Also, I recognize Trabant parts when I see them!
Great to hear!
Greetings from Petersburg!
Even in such a simple job, you are a perfectionist. It commands respect (as always). I had a car with a similar clutch bearing, Moskvich 408. Sometimes these bearings were boiled in industrial oil to improve glide. Health to you and peace!
Oh that's a cool information, makes sense. Thank you
@@mymechanicsinsights Thank YOU! (Boil for about an hour without bringing to a boil.)
It's so nice to see that you keep old cars working well too.
Yeah he just makes a new one 😉😉
Always!
Great to see those Tesa measuring tools😊
More to come!
glad i visit this second channel.. i can hear your voice, it's no longer world mistery
Thanks for stopping by
This process was edited/narrated very well. I enjoy this style as much as the videos with captions only.
I must admit, it would be interesting to hear you say *"I make a new one"* vs seeing it in captions. ;)
Thank you very much!
It’s too FICK 🤣🤣🤣
I am German and loved that one. I know you said thick but the sound was on point.
Love your videos
lol
I love watching your restorations they are mind blowing with the precision and attention to detail and then I discovered this channel which is more amazing I can spend all day watching your videos
When Mr. MyMechanics says something is ten point zero millimetres you can bet that sure it is! 😉
Thanks for sharing! 👍
@My Mechancis Insights thank you for the dialog it was great to hear you talkabout it. You did great. This provided a lot more information than what you could have provided via text.
Awesome, thank you!
I love the videos. I actually start to get anxious at the 4 week mark and a new video hasn't been uploaded yet 🥴. Keep up the great (and precise) work!
Watching fine craftsmanship is intriguing, enlightening, and peaceful.
Behold! Speech! I enjoyed the description of what you were doing - and it's easier to watch/listen to while I do other things ;) Hope the bearing worked out!
Glad you enjoyed it!
But what sort of car! Thank you for the fun video, always enjoy spending some time in your shop and watching you work!
Can only tell it's a 1939 BMW. More to come!
@@mymechanicsinsights I'm quite excited! Thank you for the spoiler :)
I always enjoy your work! Thanks for sharing your time and skills with us!
My pleasure!
This is the first video where I’ve heard your voice. And can I say you sound EXACTLY like I imagined!
He has more here on the 2nd channel.
Very cool, thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching ;-)
I love your narration in these videos and even though this one was very simple I’m really glad you chose to record and upload it - I loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video. Surprising the amount of detail for what you call "a small job"🙂👍
Glad you liked it!
Like always. Perfection.
Great job. Nice vid.
Exact explanations and btw,
your English is very good to understand and nice to listen, too.
Greetings and regards !
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
I liked the voiceover. Also liked you talking about what things you do before you start machining the parts. And i'd like to make a suggestion: show the before and after the reparation. Have a nice day 😉
Cool, thanks!
Nice video of a useful project. Ciao, Marco.
Many thanks!
My first time on your second channel. Great to hear your voice and see more of the machinery you use
I hope you like it
Pretty cool. Weird looking part indeed. What is equally interesting is seeing the process behind your work. Enjoyable video. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks for watching!
I think you should talk to us more often! 😀 And this episode is really great. You never know how many people you will help. ☺️
He speaks on a bunch of videos on this channel. Check 'em out!
I hope so!
Thanks for sharing this great video :)
It's almost 3 in the morning but when a my mechanics video posts, sleep can wait.
More voice over insight posts.
good night
Hey! You've got a voice! Nice work sneaking up on that 10 MM diameter. Great video thumbs up.
Hey, thanks!
I love your work. Great job and a real perfectionist!
Thank you kindly!
Great job adapting the new part to meet the parameters to replace the old one.
Thank you very much
I always have an impression about how many preparation works need to be done before any parts of work. You are very cool specialist I know ))
Thank you very much!
Was a nice surprise to hear your voice, and your explanations are very good and precise. As always, a very good video. Regards!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
I like how you zip tied the barring. I probably wouldn’t have thought of that and it would have went sailing across the shop! Long time subscriber from Oxford, Connecticut.
Thanks 👍
Thank u for sharing,this is my favorite channel, keep up the good work 👍
So nice of you
Thanks for sharing. I found this to be quite interesting, and entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it!
*Beautiful work done by a very talented young man. It was "I make a new one..." from a part that was too big.*
Thank you very much!
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations from Brazil.
Many thanks for watching :-)
Finally, he uses a tool I am skilled with:
Zip ties.
👍
haha good one ;-)
wait are you restoring an entire car?! Is that what we’re looking forward to next?! :D
Aren't you even more precise than all the other parts of the assembly? 😅 A little piece of perfection as usual, thank you so much I really enjoy each of your videos !
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Impressive little tutorial on this throw out bearing.good video, just keep doing your thing,😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
Restore your lathe!! Lol Excelent Job i love your work! ❤ Saludos desde Argentina!!!
Brilliant work, dude! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks you too
You have reached a very good English pronunciation bro, very nice! 💪👍
Thank you very much :-)
Taking .002" cuts every time to get dead accurate on a 10mm diameter on a manual lathe is damn impressive. That's a level of manual machining precision necessary in aviation overhaul and repair shops.
It's pretty easy with a DRO ;-)
@@mymechanicsinsights I was wondering why you made those 0.25mm depth cuts and each time you measured with the micrometer. Was that to better calibrate the DRO ?
@@mymechanicsinsights It also helps to have good calipers and micrometers. It would be a lot harder to get a diameter with a .002" tolerance using measurement tools that have slop greater than that.
We've trashed calipers at work because they start getting wonky and fail to repeat measurements or are wrong by +/- .003".
Nice video, and it’s great to hear your voice! Love your work.
Thank you so much 😀
Nice hearing your voice! Lovely work as usual
Thanks a lot for being here :-)
Once again very precision machining. Too bad everyone doesn't do things to that degree of effort. Even a simple part can be made perfect... Thumbs Up!
Thank you very much!
Amazing Voice And Commentary! It Was Nice To See BTS Content!
