Ball crank puller

[Getaway]

I was working on my Burke Mill and needed to remove a Ball Crank so I made this.

Nicely done. Do you have a bender to do the straps?

 

[Getaway]

I don't have a bender. I wish I could bend some things like that. I carved them out of a block of 1018 CRS. My Burke Millrite is not operational yet so I did it the only way I knew how with what I had.

Band sawed the stock about 5/8" to long
Dressed the sides & ends on the Millwaukee tool & cutter grinder.
Drilled and bored the hole on the lathe.
Sawed and filed the slot
Sawed to length and rounded the end on the Belt sander.

Thought I would never get done.

They look better than any bent pieces I have seen. Probably more work than you wanted to put into a simple tool, but hey nobody said this hobby was for the impatient

Nice job, Getaway! As already mentioned, there is more than one way to skin a cat, which you proved here.

 

[RandyM]

Yup, nice tool. Did you get the handle off the machine?

 

[Getaway]

Yes. The handle was almost off when I took the picture. It was not all that tight. Some day I need to make a nice "Bolt" for the puller.

Thanks Guys for all the kind words. I read this form almost every day.
