I have a pair of Cylindrical Bearing Outer races. They are 100+ years old (motorcycle engine, NOT HD)rusted etc. The owner had new crankshaft Pins made, and oversize rollers. Yes the bearing is not available anywhere in the world.
So the outer race needs to be enlarge .025. I have soft jaws which cover 2/3 the circumference, a couple light passes with solid carbide BB, grinder.clean up the rust pockets, show lots of hard spots in the race.
I do not have an internal grinder on the MG12 grinder, so the EE has to handle the job, with a Themac Tool post grinder. Practicing to find the setup for the final sizing, The setup is workhead 50RPM, 3/4 wheel at20K, 32A60 k5vbe.
infeed of .0042 per/rev.
The finish is far from what I expect from a surface as hard as this. Will I need to lap this to size and finish.
Ideas please.
