    Classes started last week so this will probably take a while, as usual. I need to face both sides of the bearing portion.

    Ignore the rough shank. That's me trying to figure out how to machine 4140. Need machine a snap ring groove and face that side more. Still unsure if I want to buy a die or learn how to machine threads.

    Can anyone here suggest holders and inserts for threading 5/8-18 left and right?

    Ordered an internal grooving holder and a double sided insert. The cost for tooling will cover what it would have cost to have someone else make it. Owell, I'll always use the tools.

    0.060" insert and holder. Still need to get tools for L and R threading.

    Machined a groove for the spring clip and turned that face down so it's close to flush with the shank. I also sanded the casting marks off the outside. All that's left for this one is to thread it. I've accepted an offer as a manufacturing engineer and I'll have access to a lot of machinery. I'll probably wait to ask for help with threading. I would be pissed to screw this up.

    Thanks! I've been stressed out about it but managed to get two offers before graduating. The other was a project engineer for 16 D.C tunnels. The pay was higher but I felt as if I could have gotten the job with my current works experience. Plus, manufacturing will give me more options in the future. Having personal access to CNC machines as well as 3D printers will be nice.

    Great field to be in, Congrats. I wish I had the education to take advantage of the tools in my shop. I teach a high school course in manufacturing and robotics, but I only have a degree in education. I somehow passed the certification test to do the job, so I have to learn all the equipment on my own. We have 3d printers, laser engravers, cnc routers and plasma cutters. In the last few days I have taught myself rudimentary TIG welding.

    My girlfriend teaches the same class and she's in your situation. She went to school for you basic business but that went nowhere so she went back and got her masters in teaching. It's nice to be able to rant about projects etc and have her follow everything I talk about. All the schools are here are getting rid of engineering programs unless it's computer related. There is too much liability.

    That's cool about your wife. There are almost no females that do my job here. It's funny because my best welders are always the girls(at least with stick and Oxy/fuel, everyone can MIG).

    Please excuse my ignorance. I've been following this in hopes of learning something new but I can't get my head around it. What exactly are you making and how does it support the crank and supercharger?

    Project Maverick. I feel the need, the need for speed

    Basically it's a turnbuckle between the crank and the supercharger. I'll be able to make the belt tighter without bending the supercharger bracket and pulling the crank snout up towards the supercharger. It will stop belt slip.

    Thanks.
    So basically you can run the belt duck's ass tight and not worry about stress on the crank and main bearings.
    That's pretty slick. Nice work man

    Finally got the threading insert and holder. I've been considering using solid alum between the two rod ends but I don't care for fine thread in alum. The weight is about the same for steel tubing and solid alum. I haven't calculated the buckling safety factor but quick thermal expansion calculations estimate the alum expanding 0.045" and the steel expanding 0.023".
