How much did Clausing charge you for the gib?

$174.23 each. Clausing has it well-calibrated. It's a lot for that
little piece of cast iron, but it would take me at least that much
trouble to make one, absent the surface grinder.

Damn! The delrin af bushings I bought from them seem like such a deal in
comparison. Hopefully, next weekend I'll get to moglice the pulley shafts if
I don't have to work at work, or work on my moms house.

I guess I need to rotate it for up to 4 hours. I have two drive sheaves
coupled together using the mandrils I'll be using to turn them down between
a collet and a tailstock center.
I'm glad you are making progress. Having a real working American chunk of
iron at the end, will be sweet for both of us.

If you use the non-fluid Moglice, it won't run away.
But is that a bearing surface you want to form with Moglice?

I believe I have Moglice Semi but I was told it will droop if I don't spin
it. The roughed up surfaces will be coated turned to slide in the mating
sheaves bores.
