Phil; I don’t know how to send a message to you, so will try by way of this comment…
I figgered as a hands-on guy, who knows which end of the file to hold, you’d appreciate this…or at least get a kick out of it (or more likely, it would make you puke, like it did me!)…I saw this YT vid on “friction welding”…have a look and see how many fuck-ups you can list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTEP9QdTn5k&t=86s
…and its gotten 3.7mil views!…unbelievable!
Cheers
It’s like watching a slow motion car wreck.
Why? What is the purpose of friction two rods together? Just start with a longer rod and a chuck that is tightened properly. At least after selling that rod he bought a new chuck that didn’t have bolts sticking out and was able to tighten the bed so no wobble… imagine getting a sleeve or finger wrapped up in one of those bolts? I know I am being captain oblivious…
You’re supposed to mount a democrat between the two pieces of metal. Then it’s safe.
What in the actual fu@k was the purpose in that? I wouldn’t trust that weld for anything.
Friction Welding has its place…like when the piece can’t be made as one…FW essentially unites the two pieces as good as one…here it is at a pro level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42MUVQNPrXE …notice the high concentricity and use of a bigass flywheel to keep putting rotational energy in, instead of just a dumb motor which has no way of knowing whats happening at the junction…I think they just keep pushing the two ends together while the flywheel is slowing down and expending all its stored energy…opposed to the chinashit technique of just wanging the two together until they glow and calling it done (and ready to sell to the stupid Americans at Harbor Freight.)
“With your head held high and on a swivel”.
And your safety off.
I try to do that everywhere I go. It has pissed some people off. I have learned to no longer care. Why you ask? BFYTW
I don’t go out much anymore unless it’s for the hardware store, grocery store or fuel.
