Mill working a few years ago. I added it and 1 more to set. Link in above post. Mike swears that it'll be painted nice when, (if) finished.

Cool thanks Buster. It's easy to forget what a blessing insert bearings are.

Verry cool buster , good to see that you are keeping busy !!
I have never seen a bearing made like this , I always assumed that a " run bearing " ment that the bearing had run its corse and needed replaceing , but according to this Quote:

That's how Model-T bearings are replaced. They needed more than splash oiling before they could use inserts. Huge steam turbines weighing hundreds of tons have babbitt bearings too. If the oil supply fails it doesn't take long to melt the babbitt.

They are for convenience. It's much more convenient not to have to re-pour the bearings.

That's some good craftsmanship. Woodworking, metal working, etc. Not many people know how to do that.
Make sure to show the results as you eat them. |

So the space between the stones is 1/8th inch, set by the hardboard, Buster?

That was just for slack. On end of shaft there's an adjusting bolt to get the meal to right size, consistence. I made a photo of some of hardware, but it sucked. The hardware is being cleaned and painted.
