Default Made a thin bushing

Coworker asked me if I wanted a challenge yesterday. He need a thin seal install bushing made to install a $200 seal without cutting it on sharp edge of a hydraulic motor shaft. I turn out a piece of alum round for him. It was only about .030” thick in the big part tapering to nothing for the seal to start, and where it went over the shoulder, was only .010” thick. He and the boss was impressed. Probably will be making more of these in the future for different applications. When I parted it off, it created a slightly rolled edge that keeps it snug on the shaft, so it should work good.Click image for larger version
