Month: July 2023

Ron Grundy, who worked for Kearney & Trecker for 30 years as a machine scraper and rebuilder, invited myself, Kevin and Kyle to his home shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to get a crash course on machine scraping. Now that I have my straight edge machined, it’s time to learn and to start to scrape it flat. Ron covered a lot of information in two days, and told a lot of great stories.

NOTE: This video is not intended to teach the viewer how to machine scrape.

I try to be constantly working on learning new skills, and one that I have been wanting to learn is machine way scraping, a skill I plan to use when I rebuild my 1960 13″ South Bend Lathe. There are a bunch of new tools I will need to accomplish this, and a straight edge is one of them. I picked up this 18″ prism straight edge as a raw casting from Denis Foster. The first step in preparing this raw casting to become a useful tool is to machine all of the necessary surfaces.

Last part of the power drawbar is the handle that attaches to the actuator from the previous video. This is the last part in the series. Happy to have this project complete.

Next part of the power drawbar is the actuator that attaches to the handle pivot from the previous video. This part presses on the butterfly valve of the air tool to engage the drive socket.
