Shaft repair at work the other day...
Shaft came loose from the coupler, which in turn toasted the bearing. Replaced the bearing, coupler, and welded the shaft back in, as the threads for the bolt that held it together were gone...

Yeah. If you look to the left and right of the square shaft, you'll see the hammers that are normally where the shaft is, they're like clamshells that attach to the shaft. The round portion is the coupler, and the bearing is on the other side. In order to fix it we had to pull the entire shaft up with come-alongs on both sides (it is heavy, those hammers go all the way down the shaft, and the shaft is about 8 feet long), pull the bearing and the coupler, install new, and lower the shaft back in place, and tighten it back up, weld it, then time the rollers. This particular piece of equipment is a glassbreaker, so material runs over the spinning shafts, and the hammers break the glass, which falls to the bottom, to a conveyor, while the other material gets pushed across the rollers to another conveyor for further processing. Sometimes trash can be interesting, LOL

I do a lot of farm repairs. They use stuff till it falls apart, fix it wrong and proceed to use if for several more years destroying everything around the original issue. I am pretty sure I will never go hungry no matter what.

This novice uses these long cuff gloves from Miller. Bulky but protects me from the comets and asteroids flying from flux-core.

So u buy your own gloves? My company consider gloves as expendable necessary items, so they buy whatever I want/need. So I get to try out different gloves and see what fits particular job. Ha... Especially for TIG welding. Different gloves does wonders for some specific jobs.
