edgar_kx3:
does it hurt to have them ground so its more like a slip fit, throw some retaining compound on it when going together? make putting the halfs together so much easier.

sandblaster:
First, it is ground to cleanup, then, it is plated oversize so that when they grind it, they grind it to the factory finish size.
Just for grins I checked the fit and it is perfect.
Gotta like that  :mrgreen:

The current cost is 75 USD to have one repaired but you have to have it pressed apart first..

alward25:
Is that at the place across they alley 'Blaster?

sandblaster:
Yep
But if you walk in the door you won't get it done for that price  :wink:

sandblaster:
The case is at the plate shop along with the bearing for the correct interference fit.
Here's their main tank.



The plater said the case had too be EXTREMELY clean before he would put it in his tank



I think we did a ok job :lol:
