Expanding arbour

<< < (2/3) > >>

mklotz:
An even simpler bodge is to tap the arbor end with an NPT (National Pipe Tapered) thread and use a (commercially available) NPT pipe plug to effect the spreading action.  I've done several that way over the years and keep a collection of smaller pipe plugs on hand for that use.

If John does publish his C-o-Cs, I have the perfect title for the book - Pile of Crap.
(Just kidding, Bogs. It's not unusual for a C-o-C drawing to be the only design reference for many of my jigs and fixtures.)

bogstandard:
Marv,

I was actually going to suggest a first cut tapered tap, and just by screwing a normal thread into it, it will expand enough, but I thought that was just too much of a bodge.

Too much of a bodge for the likes of us, John?!  Surely you jest.  The concept begs definition.

I can tell from your no-nonsense, get-er-done approach in the workshop that you, deep in the dark of night, have bodged just as wildly as I.  We've just got the good sense to not advertise it.

Until NOW!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just couldn't let that one pass.  :lol:

Cheers  :beer:

There are times for, and times not, and to err is only human.

As long as it can't be detected, then it is perfectly acceptable. The only exception is when someone's life depends on it, then definitely not.
