| Lykle:
Thanks to all your comments, the bearings are now lapped. I suddenly remembered that I had a pot of Aluminium Oxide powder, for my airbrush sandblaster. So I oiled the wood, sprinkled some powder on and presto, one lapped part. Oh wait, I will go to the workshop and take a picture. Least I can do for all the help I have been getting. The part is now fitted and it has a nice smooth action. After I replace the oil with a thinner one, it will be perfect. Yes I know, the surface is not great yet, that will be done later. This is the part in place. I also added an overview to show you the whole thing. |
