A couple of coupler parts showed up today.The engine 1/2 of the curved jaw lovejoy coupling that engineer made for me(he did a fine job to say the least BTW,thanks engineer!) was splined by the people who broach the splines for Sprocket Specialists. Total including freight both ways was less than 25 bux for the 2. I think that's a killer deal and I knew I could depend on them fitting when I got them back. I'll carburize and harden them tomorrow and temper them when the programmable controller for the furnace gets here in a few days. This busa/091 adapter may actually have a light at the end of the tunnel.  I think I see a faint glimmer anyway.LOL!.

Yeah,I about fainted. When I first spoke to them he said 3 bux and I popped off it was worth more than that. I guess he took me seriously. LOL!!!!

Well the progress towards getting this thing done is delayed till the 29th of this month when Ramsey ships the sprockets and chain. THey were closed till yesterday for the holidays. :'( Damn! eyes Oh well,been putting in some quality time messing with the new heat treat furnace and programmable controller.Also been working feverishly getting the Fadal back together.I've gotten quite the education on CNC machines the last couple of weeks for sure. rofl I can pretty well diagnose errors and faults now on a Fadal anyway! eyes When I first got it I knew it was in need of a good rebuild.When done I'll have less than 1/2 the price of new and same as new including the fully integrated 4th axis. All new turcite,full replace of the lube system,new gibs and straps,new XY and Z ballscrews,new encoders/resolvers on all axis, and a bunch of small stuff. When I first got it powered up I had a hell of a time getting the axis to operate. Well ,of course,it's hard to get techs to give out info they make a living with. I wonder why that is? eyes ;D ;D Thank God for sites like CNCzone! Without the experts there willing to help I'd have been u shit creek for sure. They pointed me to the encoders being the culprits for what has turned out to be the cure for it's ills. This thing is SWEET now! Get the enclosure back together and I'll try my hand at doing the torque tube for the adapter. Hopefully I can get to that shortly before the sprockets show and get forwarded to Grob for splining along with the input shafts. MAYBE ,I really do see a light beginning to glimmer at the end of the tunnel.

Well, replace 2 sets of thrust bearings,seal up the cabinet,replace the lexan and I'm done with the rebuild. Lights getting a lot brighter now. Yes boost ,it just might be bigger flames.  :slp  rofl rofl
  DId a bit of carburizing a piece of 1018 tonite (carburizing is adding carbon to the steel so it will harden) then oil quenched it. VIOLA!!!!! ;D ;D a nice hard case. I only carburized it for about an hour and a half in the carbon atmosphere so it should only be maybe .010 deep. When I do the the engine half of the curved jaw coupler engineer made for me tomorrow I'll keep them soaking(carburizing) for about 6 hours for a nice deep case of about .040-.050". Then I'll temper them to toughen them up. Should make for a very durable piece. I'm getting very anxious now!

So I assume you did the black one.....  What made the color?  Is the color there to stay?  Did you check the hardness with a file?

I have an uncle that loves to check parts to see how hard they are with a file.  The more expensive the part the better.  :P

Yes ,I did the black color when carburizing. It is not scale. It is a very thin layer of what I can only describe  as pure excess carbon(?) that gathers on the surface of the part and is not absorbed into the case. On the test pieces I found it to be no more than .00025 thick as the shaft was only .0005 smaller after glass beading it off of test pieces. It appears like a black phosphate coating but ,of course, it isn't but it does look that way. I'm thinging of leaving it on as if it really is just carbon it should act as a dry lube of sorts and I think it will also be rust resistant. Maybe not tho. LOL!  It beads off easily but is fairly tough to abrasion. Not as tough as black phosphate but it will absorb oil and retain it somewhat.similar to BP coatings.

  Uhhhh,yeah I did the file test.  :-[ :-[ rofl rofl rofl Sending it to the pros Tuesday tho for a real testing.
