How I Pour Babbitt Bearings, Gingery
43 pages, 5-1/2 x 8-7/16 (Softcover)
Prior to 1940 just about every machine built used
Babbitt bearings, and every mechanic was familiar
with them. Today things are quite different. Many
people get a great deal of satisfaction from restoring
old tools, machinery and automobiles that are destined
for the scrap yard. A lot of old, heavily built machinery
is still available at scrap prices. Often all that is required to put one
of these machines back in working order is cleaning and painting
individual parts and re-pouring the Babbitt bearings. This booklet
contains the basic information you need to melt and pour, in other
words, restore Babbitt bearings. You look over Vince’s shoulder as
he restores a sawmill arbor to like-new condition. Babbitt is excellent
bearing material, and with it you can quickly and easily make low-cost
custom bearings for those off-the-wall machine tools you plan to build.
