Onderwerp: [PSUBS-MAILIST] lathe    HiAll, Forthe last four days I have been building a flange facing machine.  Forthose who don't know what that is, it is a portable lathe that clamps to a pipeor submarine to machine a flange.  In my case the hatch land on my newdeep diver.   After welding the conical land ring into the hull it willtwist from welding.  The conical face will be distorted and that is nogood.   This machine I built will re-machine the face of the seat. After re-machining the land, I will then machine the hatch conical facein my lathe  to match the seat.  I will also machine the centre shaftof the hatch with a temporary bearing assembly, allowing me to mount the hatchso it rotates on the seat.  This will allow me to lap the seat to aperfect fit.  That is how a guy on a budget builds a deep diver hatchassembly.  :-)    Theflange facing machine is built entirely from stuff I have in inventory, thepivot bearing assembly is from a 3\4 ton truck reared, the clamps to hold it inplace are tell-post rods, the drive is a hydraulic motor from my old launchcart, the power feed is a wheel chair drive motor, and the compound slide forthe cutter is off my old lathe.  I will power it off my mini excavator, sono point in building a hydraulic power pack.    Iwill be testing it on the mating ring for Gamma's escape pod. Hank
