Does the hob rotate the blank, or do you index it ?
John Rudd:
The hob rotates, cutting the tooth on centre, and part cutting the tooth above and below....as the blank is rotated...is my understanding...
John Stevenson:
This is more up Squire Mawsons street than mine, bit agricultural even for me.
Local scrapyard called round and dropped a hydraulic breaker off they have just bought [ cheap I hope ? ]
Had a bit of a hard life and could I straighten the dipper mounting out and fit new bushes.
In a word NO. Trying to straighten this is on a hiding to nothing.
So chop the bent and damaged plates off, get a couple laser cut, thicker and with a bit more meat on and allow for heavier bushes.
Pic is part way thru the job, one plate ground off and new plate welded on. Close of play tonight and both plates are welded on and back on the breaker.
Tomorrows job is the 4 steel bushes to turn and weld in and then fit 4 new PU bushes to take 30mm pins instead of the original 1" to fit their machine.
Need to keep these people sweet and friendly scrap yards are hard to find nowadays.

What's a 'PU' bush ? Polyurethane ? Surely not.
