It looks like they were determined to get their money's worth out of the clutch disc and they ran it down until there was metal on metal. It looks like you'll be able to save the part. That's quite a nice tool. It seems to have the flexibility to make it useful in many different applications. Thanks for posting Bruce. Stay safe and all the best to you and the family.

Great video Bruce and really nice set up. Man that is a nice boring head for sure.

That quite the sophisticated tool you've got there. Thanks for the video.

G Day Bruce, I had never seen a boring head like that before, great tool. I have machined many flywheels over the years but usually grinding due to hard hot spots. I found it was important to keep track of how much came off the main surface and take the same from the clutch pressure plate bolt surfaces to maintain the same clamping pressure. Great clip.

Yes getting away a bit with the grand kids having a great time. Trying new editing program for my channel and finding it a great help with editing so upload times dropped. Powerdirector 15 Finding it easy to use.

Great video that is a very handy boring head

Be sure to pull those dowels and knock the tops of those stands down the same amount for a proper repair. Most clutches are speced marginal for the job and just a couple of thou can reduce the plate load by hundreds of pounds and cause premature slippage.

Thats quite a large "Boring Head"! Many years ago, I ran a SIP with a similar head I believe was a Wohlhaupter Facing head . The Wohlhaupter was like the Rollsroyce of them all!

Yes the both brands are on equal footing the Wohlhaupter was more common because the other was an Eastern Block made tool that was not so common. it is however equal in quality and worth every penny.

Interesting.

I gotta admit that's a pretty simple way to turn a vertical mill into a facemill, more or less.

Those heads aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination but pay for themselves quite quickly in a job shop like mine.

Nice tool....didn't know that you could machine the hard spots on a flywheel, always seen them ground

i bought a wohlhaupter UPA4 off ebay for 800 still one of my best buys i got ! when you consider they go for close to 2500-3000 brand new !

Yep that head sure looks alot like My wohlhaupter upa 5 - 6. Awesome quality tools, almost as good as My d'andrea ts4 :)

Ha, last flywheel someone brought me had so many hard spots in it looked like a metal leopard. Someone was slipping the pedal but good... :-)
