Ron Altier Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) I got to work on my mini tailstock slippage. I went to our local farm store where they have larger washers than hardware stores. As you can see from the pictures of the pictures, small is original one piece, large is my assembly of 4 washers (42 cents) held together with JB weld. I had to do a small amount of filing to get a nice fit. I did some testing and it holds good. The clamping surface has probably doubled. The question is.........will JB weld hold. I was going to solder them and may have to if JB fails Edited April 6, 2018 by Ron Altier added 42 cents p_toad, Gerald and Grandpadave52 3 Quote
lew Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 My guess is that the JB Weld will do the trick as the pressure should be squeezing the washers together. Quote
Billy B Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 It might hold because the smaller washers don't carry any load. They are there just to keeps the disk centered between the ways. Quote
Ron Altier Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Posted April 6, 2018 That's what I was thinking too. I did try it and it works well. Only time and projects will tell p_toad and Grandpadave52 2 Quote
