Machining & Welding - Conveyor Roller Stub Shaft Replacement, Quick and Dirty Shop Made Tool Build
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 01. 2022
- I make a lot of conveyor rollers, and until recently I just made new ones. With material costs its cheaper now to replace the ends. Watch as I make quick work of this replacement, and build a slide hammer to facilitate the repair.

Enjoy your work particularly the large pieces you do by yourself. I was surprised, however, that you didn't plug weld those stub shafts in light of the trouble they caused previously.
Doing roughly the same thing to an apron belt roller on a hay baler. The difference is that there's no stub shaft. The plug will contain a bearing that rotates on a stationary pin attached to the upper pivot arm.
Seeing what you've done, I'm fearing that I might have cut myself short on the amount of plug that will fit inside the roller. I bought material that allows for about 2" inside the roller, and 1" projecting beyond the end of the roller. The projection has to be flush with the roller OD, so it will form a shoulder. All welding will be plug welding through the roller OD. I'm hoping that the 2", plus the fact that I'll have a turned shoulder, will keep everything straight. I'm relying on the shoulder for alignment.
I'd love to weld them like you have, but there's no side clearance between roller end, and pivot arm. This is necessary for belt tracking.
Lesson learned................never cut yourself short when ordering material. A few extra bucks is cheap compared to the worry.
Another fine video(thumbsup). Take care
Keep your work, great inspiration for us. You are a very authentic and honest person in your communication, that has a lot of value for some of what we see your work and your conversation about it.
Quality of your videos continues to improve with each one. I really enjoy seeing what you’re doing. Keep hoping someone will take an interest in the Monarch.
Thank you. I am really trying to grow the channel and I'm having fun doing it. I think I have a possible buyer, and a backup plan if that doesn't work out. Will keep everyone informed.
Watch the long sleeves in the chuck. I came closer then I ever want to getting tangled up last Thursday doing the same filing that you are doing in the vid. It took the button off my Carhart jacket. Just because it's cold in the shop don't let your guard down like I did.
Glad you're safe. Safety is always my top priority. I usually watch a video of someone getting wrapped up once a week to keep me on edge. It's a risk, but I always am super careful.
I can understand why you are so busy. You have so many repeat customers and they know you will do it right the first time for them.
thanks for sharing
Well done on the roller repair Josh, And may you find a buyer for the lathe soon.
Thanks for another great video, Josh, I really enjoy watching your work.
I'd be all over that lathe you have for sale, but the shipping to get it to me in S. Korea would be a little pricey, LOL!
All the best,
Jon
Nice repair and set-up, like the tape measure clipped to the saw, I hate searching for tools, I have a toolroom sized lathe and lathe, even though there are only 3 metres apart, I have 99% of the tools at each machine.
Thanks for sharing.
Good workman like repair.
Like the weld positioner, neat.
Fingers crossed for the Monarch.
Thanks. I have a potential buyer coming Monday, and the auction people coming Tuesday if that falls through.
Let's go visit my buddy, Bobby Chuckitup.
Like your channel. Thanks for sharing. Like your old Monarch too
Why not flip the end plugs around 180 degrees and weld a new shaft into that side? (Only insert the shaft half way when making them ) or make them double ended then you just remove the puck , flip it then weld back in. Less labor as the plugs are used twice .
Charge the same tho .
Great project and it was fun to watch you make and fit the end
Great video Josh, keep'um coming..
Just found your channel. Great video I like the old machinery you have
Such nice heavy duty lathe
Great video ! It's good to get a variety of work in the shop and your welding is very good too! Good luck with the sale of your Monarc lathe
Variety is the biggest reason I hate CNC. I don't do the same parts for months at a time. I do small quantities spaced out over a long time. Keeps life interesting.
@@TopperMachineLLC I never liked CNC too. Very boring even if I don't know anything about it
Looking good nice handy one
Wondering why you didn't freeze the plugs and get an even tighter fit??
I gave a like when he lubricated the drill. 👍 Whim. And good idea too.
Good video
Nice repair job there Josh . So i am still guessing , a long bed lathe to handle long high speed rollers ! Cheers .
Lol. keep.watching. it's coming. Hopefully by the end of the month.
Brass hammers work well and do less damage.
Damn nice welds there josh
Thanks. Would be better if I had the drive on the roller stands, but that's coming.
That's a pretty big Johnson.
I've been told that many times.
Thanks for sharing! The surface finishes look good! What alloy material are you using? Also what feed and speeds are you using? Thanks!
These are all just CR1018, just because they are a consumable roller. But they do come out good. The old monarchs is running wide open at 487RPM and feeding .010/rev. Thanks for watching.
Hi Josh I know this idea might be counterproductive but if nobody will buy the monarch in the next couple weeks might be a good idea to store it have you thought about building a wood dog house or like a coffin / shipping crate maybe wrapped in plastic or tar paper and a couple rolls of rolled roofing in case you might have it for 6 months or a year just an idea good luck with selling it and thanks for all the videos.JM
I contracted with an machinery auction house this morning for their January auction. It will be gone by early February. Thanks.
will you put a starting taper on your parts
Great video but why sell the monarch lathe its a teriffic machine
Need the room
What steel are you using sir
Josh, is this veneer mill located in Birchwood by chance?
I work with several veneer mills, but that is not one of them.
Is that tube seamless? Or have you previously clean out the seam?
It's ERW tubing. So it has a seam, but very small.
Probably a stupid question but why wouldn't you make a threaded end shaft to fit into a puck so replacement is much easier?
I would think that if you would thread it in that there may be a possibility that it could come loose.
@@randydeboer832 you are correct. It could come out. But more than likely with these they are usually damaged too far to even replace. Most of the time the tube gets bent.
sir, how much electrical power is installed in your place to meet the needs of the overall work tool, is there a limit set by the provider?
That's a great question. When I upgraded to 3 phase, we calculated out 400 Amps needed at maximum draw. Since I plan to continue growing, we had primary brought in to the yard and I have 1200 Amps of 208V 3 Phase. Just for reference, my current average monthly electric bill is around $500/month.
@@TopperMachineLLComg..sir with that much installed power, in my area it can be used for 120 houses😲
@@victimovtalent6036 where are you located? It's kind of funny, alot of people think I'm just a bit shop, but this is my full time business.
@@TopperMachineLLC 3rd world country sir,for sure😁
@@victimovtalent6036 thanks for watching. I hope you're learning and being entertained by my work.
How much is the machine?
Josh, please don't wear long sleeves while filing on the lathe my dad was a tool and die maker for 40 years and always warned about that please be careful
Wrong hammer
