the last four days I have been building a flange facing machine. For
those who don't know what that is, it is a portable lathe that clamps to a pipe
or submarine to machine a flange. In my case the hatch land on my new
deep diver. After welding the conical land ring into the hull it will
twist from welding. The conical face will be distorted and that is no
good. This machine I built will re-machine the face of the seat.
After re-machining the land, I will then machine the hatch conical face
in my lathe to match the seat. I will also machine the centre shaft
of the hatch with a temporary bearing assembly, allowing me to mount the hatch
so it rotates on the seat. This will allow me to lap the seat to a
perfect fit. That is how a guy on a budget builds a deep diver hatch
assembly. :-)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

flange facing machine is built entirely from stuff I have in inventory, the
pivot bearing assembly is from a 3\4 ton truck reared, the clamps to hold it in
place are tell-post rods, the drive is a hydraulic motor from my old launch
cart, the power feed is a wheel chair drive motor, and the compound slide for
the cutter is off my old lathe. I will power it off my mini excavator, so
no point in building a hydraulic power pack.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
