Tom, I dont know if you have been following the Miller Trailblazer 55G
thread, but Im going to need some End Brushes to clean up a cast iron
head, block and valve seats.

Brass? Steel? No idea of what a good wire size would be to use on cast
iron.

Ive got a 1/4" chuck die grinder that will run your 1/4" shank end
brushes. No idea of the rpms..probably 10k or faster.


What do you suggest?

Bore is 3 7/16", so maybe a 4" brass wheel brush to push and pull
through to remove rust while spinning with a drill motor?

Make me a list and how you want them paid for. Paypal or credit card
no problem

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I'll bet that engine is the same that was in my old Clark forklift! I'll send a
box-o-endbrushes and some "Spring Brushes" ( McMaster #4864A2)

I'll trim some wheels to 3-7/16" for the bores but the spring brushes will AMAZE
you! (my invention) Still have an Impact Brush? It would do the head in
minutes! I don't know what I have on the shelf in Brass wheels, I'll look. I'm
not certain if you need brass, I'll ask.

Cool. Thats an intersting brush. Says for die grinder, but only has
an 1800 rpm max...that would indeed be spooky turned faster than
that.....brrrrr. Got just the drill motor to turn that.

Never did get one of those Impact Brushes, we did discuss it,
but...shrug

Im not sure a fine wire wheel would do damage, or would be ok. Im way
way out of my depth here. I suspect, based on one of your fine 6"
brushes thats been living in my 6" bench grinder for a number of
years, used for derusting and deburring, it would be the
ticket...but...I dont know..and thats worrysome.

Got the pics of those pallets of air cylinders done this morning, Ill
email em to you. Did you ponder on that box of V and timing
belts...probably a few hundred in there at the least. Ive neve dug
down to the bottom. Lots of B and A belts, long ones, etc etc

If you are interested, I can take a picture down into the box. Its
about 4'x4' x 5' tall. I think there is enough room to stick all the
air stuff in the top, and shrink wrap it for a one unit ship.

Got some gear reducers and right angle drives too, maybe 4-5 and a
bunch of .25-3 hp 3ph motors and servos as well.


Thanks Tom,

Gunner

1800 outside of a bore. Spin it full-speed after inserting it into a bore. The
wire flares out like an upside-down umbrella causing the spring to compress.
When you throtle down, the spring expands and re-contains the column of wire.
You'll see.

Did you see what McMaster gets for those? I sell them for less than $3.00

Is that because you're a lesbian?
(I'll find one for you, I apologize, you're the guy to use these things...WAY
cool!)

Let's try the brass first, I'm sure I can find something and trim it to fit and
ship it Monday.

I can't use any timing belts and I doubt if I bought three belts last year. I'd
sure like to see the cylinder pix!

I'll have to look-up the ratios of the gearmotors we use on the 9 pay-off
de-spoolers, We buy too many of those at $350 ea.
