Two great vids for home brew heating and cooling or parts for assembly or disassembly Heating Cooling
AvE is like that old grandpa we all know who knows everything- but without being old. That dude has taught me a lot over time. Next time I'm in Canada I should be all "Eh, you know that Arduino vs. Everything dude? Where's he at?" I owe that dude a Molson or three.
Was never aware that you can microwave the bearings like that . Id like to try it one day , has anyone tried it on the forum ?. Have been freezing the outer rings (cup) for steering head bearings and swing arm bearings for ages , so that's cool. But i still cant get my head around the microwave trick .
yeah the trick was the wet cloth which absorbs the microwaves and heats the bearing - don't do it without the cloth I haven't yet tried it, to date my most exotic ingredients microwaved are CD/DVD's and a bunch of eggs in an about to go out the door model... But there was that time we put propane & oxygen mix into a coke bottle and add the foil wrapper from chicken stock - hit cook and RUN!!!
Hi ruckusman. I'd really like to try the bearing trick , if i had an old microwave i'd try it but since the microwave is just bought new , i'm not game enough to try it. !.Iv'e only just started scrambling my eggs in the microwave ,yea i know i'm a bit slow .OH your a bad man there buddy , i'd never ever do that myself .
Also have used an oven to do jobs with , last one was a montesa Cota 247 T O.E muffler assembly. Baked on the gloss black VHT paint , the finished job looked really good.
Ok guys , looks like where all related some how . Oven / paint fumes and motorbike parts . Baked cake anyone ?.
That's cheating !. The guide lines are that you must use a domestic oven that has window that you can see the part's baking inside. Sorry buddy , but how can you see a cake rise with that oven ?.
That's fair enough and a honest reason . Iv'e repaired so many stoves it's not funny back in the days. Actually i could use an old stove when operation SRX 250 kicks in.
I've seen LARGE (11" dia. shaft) bearings heated in a propane barb-q. The company built huge fans and blowers for mines, agriculture, and steel mills. With the huge sums of money they charged, you'd think they would get a little more civilized and buy an induction heater.
