Randy aka Mastermind shared 2 videos that is going to save me alot of work in the future. I was doing all of this by hand in the past and havent used acid in 5 years.
This is the method Wiggs told folks about before he put it on video for others.

I've not been able to watch the videos........this laptop need a video card, driver update, or????

Put 1 or 2 port jobs toward getting you a new laptop. $400 and under x3 Toshiba's does the trick for my whole family.
Sometimes during Dec Christmas time like now $300 under.

Cool, like cut I will use this. All we need now is for Wiggs to come up with a way to repair plating!

I've got a couple of good desktops in the house........today I bought a Apple I-Pod Gen 4 so I could upload video faster....

The disc that you chuck in the drill and use with the scotch brite what is it called. It is right there on the tip of my tongue but just can't say it. any help would be great. That is very slick how fast that is over the hand way. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea on the Scotch -Brite .I do it by hand with kerosine and it takes a long time .I like the homemade flap wheel too.
Now let me tell you a little story on old Al .I got in a hurry once on an 034 cylinder and flap wheeled it using a big 1/4" electric die grinder ,powerfull .Like a dummy I used an about 3/4 used up 80 grit wheel ,bad choice ,stiff .Like you say watch the exhaust port .I cut right through the plating and turned that cylinder to junk in the twinkling of an eye .Like they say an education is not free .
-
Well now that the cat is out of the bag, that is exactly what I do after the acid with a flapwheel.
I haven't had one come back yet and I've done some NASTY cylinders!!!!!

It's a Roloc mandrel.

It's a Roloc mandrel.
The kind with the tiny 'fingers' for grabbing the pads? Almost like Velcro, but more rigid?

Randy could you maybe get a close pic of the part you made for holding the emery cloth in the hand-piece? Trying to think up some ideas I can redneck make without use of a lathe.
What was diameter for one? Like 1/8 1/16 etc

I was thinking of the disc mandrels made to work with the ScotchBrite Roloc pads (3M parts #922, 923, 924, etc.) - see photo.
eBay had some 1/4" X 4" split mandrels for about $5 shipped, and some Dremel sized ones for about $2 shipped. Before I saw those I was thinking about taking a short length of rod and slitting it with a thin Dremel disc?

Thank You is a poor price to pay. Yeh I know send a donation ;D. The last acid treatment I did took 4-5 hrs. Made me wonder if it was worth it. Now I'll be willing to save 25-30 cylinders I havelaying around.
Thank you Randy your "The Man" by the way you are a true craftsman.

Those look like tiny disc sander pads .More than likely McMaster- Carr has them .I'll look in a little bit,I have the catalog ,several as a metter of fact .
-
Aha and so it is ."Disc holder " Mac master -Carr number
46325A92 2" ---46325A91 1.5"

Those look like tiny disc sander pads .
The ones Randy showed are used with Roloc discs that have a short, threaded stem. The ones I showed were made to interlock with ScotchBrite type pads. There are also smooth ones for sticky back (PSA) sandpaper, hook-and-loop varieties, etc., etc.
Of course, with a hole saw and a thin piece of plywood or conveyor belting, you could cut a disc, insert a cut-off bolt and a 'T' nut, and make any kind or size you wanted. Or take a utility knife and make a stack of ScotchBrite discs, stars, etc.

Holy crap I tried this tonight, works GREAT, some 1/4 bar, cut it. I also put the scotch bright in the little mandrle and it worked fine if you can't find the disk thingy.
-
I just use a 320 grit ball hone.
-
Hi cheers I will give it a go
-
The way I settled on after all these years. 1 flapper, 2 test by hand emery cloth to be sure all is removed in area, 3 fresh light crosshatching with ball hone.

I've got one ,an 850 McCulloch I managed to straight gas on a prime .I can save the cylinder but the piston is toast .Because we are under plague conditions this would be a good time to clean it up and determine what grade of piston it needs ,there ar
e three sizes .I must say lately I've got a lot of stuff done on chainsaws ,weed wackers blowers and two concrete saws .
Got about a two year supply of firewood but that kind of gets old after a while .I mean after all I'm not a spring chicken any more .
