How to simply transfer the ID to an OD on a lathe.

What a faff. Inside and outside calipers do the job in seconds.

Nowt simple about his way in the video.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Indeed, but I'm not sure it'd be as accurate, he does have a bit of leeway duse to how he fits the metal bands.

With practice you can work to around 0.001" with calipers. It's all about practice and 'feel'.

You get the ID size with the internal calipers and then set the the external calipers up by setting them to the internal ones.

Sounds like a right old phaph to me Jim, i like the circle method.

Nice to see pudseys new van being built.

Actually, I am wrong, he needed the circumference for the hub not the ID/OD, he has calipers galore so he must have some reason for doing it that way, he has a similar method for doing the steel rims.

You are wrong ---- in so many ways.

Do you honestly think Jim that I don't know what wrong looks like at 74?

Anyhoo he seems to know what he's doing and been doing it the traditional way for decades, no idea if you do

Having worked in engineering for 50 years, you could say I also had decades of experience. That's the difference, the layman says "ooh look at that, it looks interesting". The Engineer looks at it, rolls his eyes and carries on with something else.

The one in the second video is a professionally supplied tool though.

Not that you see much of it.


All in a days work Jim.

I'm sure someone on facts said you were pilot, hence the nom de whatsit then.
