Customizing a Graphite Thrust Bearing (Throwout Bearing)
In this video I'm going to customize a graphite thrust bearing for an oldtimer car. It had previosly installed a regular thrustbearing which unfortunately was too thick. Therefore the car had issues getting the gears in. We're now switching to a new graphite bearing, which are very common in oldtimers. All dimensions are identical except for the lower thickness and the bigger two shafts. I need to turn them down to ø10mm to make them fit into the clutch.
This is a detailed explained video going through all needed steps to get an accurate result.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I've watched many (if not all) of your videos and wondered how you always got exact dimensions when turning parts. now I know! I didn't realize it takes several turns and adjusting the DRO each time. So fascinating to learn :)
Remarkable precision, an absolute delight to watch such professionalism at work.
It's nice to see just how precise you make parts that are needed. I knew you made quality parts, I just didn't realize the amount of precision that goes into making the part. I know absolutely nothing about mechanical engineering but I do appreciate a job done with perfection.

Yes indeed, all the measuring and preparation you never see in the restoration videos.
You are always right so I only write about my past experiences. When it comes to graphite bearings vs roller or ball bearings, I have to say there is a reason graphite is part of history, particularly in sports vehicles. Beautiful work as usual.
Never, every apologize for your English. You speak it perfectly well.

Very nice turning. A number of lathe owners on KZread could indeed learn from your high precision techniques. This is how we used to do it at the Rolls Royce Experimental Works when making high precision one-offs, short run or small batch parts for development aero engines during the 1970s. We used similar lathes too. Thank you for sharing.

I was a flute player for 10 years and we used graphite to help the pieces of our instrument go together if they weren't sliding well. Because of the pads and cork, oil or any other liquid lubricant wasn't an option since it would ruin those things. I never knew graphite was used in a similar way in other fields!
YOU HAVE A VOICE!!!!!! Love your work and channels. ❤️❤️❤️
I love the videos. I actually start to get anxious at the 4 week mark and a new video hasn't been uploaded yet 🥴. Keep up the great (and precise) work!
This process was edited/narrated very well. I enjoy this style as much as the videos with captions only. I must admit, it would be interesting to hear you say *"I make a new one"* vs seeing it in captions. ;)
