Clausing 111/4800 spindle upgrade

[willthedancer]

Time to get a divorce from the crappy threaded spindle nose. Never been a fan.

D1-3 camlock coming right up!

Material is 4150FM quenched and tempered.

That looks about like the pile of shavings I generated a few weeks ago. Except that my pile was 4130.

Needed a dog to do some work between centers.

It's ugly, but once I'm done with it, it's junk.

The ugly dog worked well. Turned and threaded. I left a couple or three on the fits.

Now we get down to the sticky bit. A first year apprentice could get this far.

I have to massage out the sins created by my class three spindle bearings. 0.0003 run-out means 0.0006 variance in the fit. It probably will translate to about. 4 tenths out of round due to the tool radius.

Yup. 4 tenths egged. Definitely not good enough for a spindle bearing fit.

It's an ugly dog, but it was a good dog.

Massaged with a stone. Polished with emery cloth. Massaged again with the stone. Polished with emery cloth. Size is good on both fits. Ready for keyways.
