Babbitt Pour 2024 Part Five

I'm bringing you along on my biggest babbitt pour since I left the shipyards back in 1994. The two bearings are from a work boat and supply support for a five-inch propeller shaft, which was re-machined to new custom diameters.
The Babbitt material is ASTM B-23 Grade 1 Babbitt
Melting point solidus 223C 433F
Melting point Liquidus 371C 700F
Pouring temp 441C 825F
Part Five, I set up the Clausing lathe for line boring process, mounting to the deck of the carriage on the Clausing lathe is similar to setting up an HBM to line bore a pump case. I had lost the audio on three clips as I set up the bar and take the first couple cuts, but found the audio in the background in other location, so I recorded it to dub in, not a total lost…
Made in China is a warning!
