Today I solder the eccentric.
First, I have but only cut the axes of 6mm silver steel and ground on the points to be soldered.
Before you put the axles in the eccentric I moisten everything still points to the brührungs surface with a suitable flux.
I've had enough for brazing itself for these parts this small torch just good. I'm even for soldering workpieces as long hot until the flux cleans the visible surface. I from the outside to melt some silver based alls and then warm the side of the axis, so that the solder is drawn by capillary action and the heat through the gap between the parts and connecting surface.
After cooling in the first stage I turn on the outer circumference and the two sides.
After I have cleaned the axis of the flux residues do I get the eccentric with my small belt sander in shape.
So I can now mount the idlers in the pans and adjust the chain track. And I've seen that at least one of the Leitradachsen is bent and I still have to replace them. If the wells are then also charged the correct amount of idlers.
And then I also unpacked, gear ....... dreams ......
With this I can now also begin slowly.
