Re: brazing broken teeth of 3-jaw chuck
|
I would disagree. Brazed joints are nearly as strong as the base metal, and these teeth don't see a great deal of force applied.? Getting them in the right place and such is more problematic, but it's not impossible. Jewelers use different grades (melting temperatures) while silver soldering, which is essentially brazing with silver brazing rods. it's been close to 50 years since I've done such things, but it is doable. Well, maybe not with the shaky hands I have now...? But still worth a try.?

Hello,
?
I wanted to ask your advice.

Unfortunately, the 3-jaw chuck slipped out of my hands and fell to the ground. From the hit to the jaw n. 3 broke 3 teeth.

Luckily I had another original 3-jaw chuck but I would still like to recover this broken one too.

Initially the idea was to make a small hole (0.5mm) on each tooth to insert a small harmonic steel wire to be inserted into an adjacent hole directly on the jaw. This is to have a support for brazing with castolin 8103.
?
Unfortunately I was unable to drill the steel of the tooth. At this point the idea is to braze directly by inventing a way to keep the teeth in position while I heat the piece.

Have any of you ever experienced something like this. Do you think brazing can hold up?
?
Thank you
