How does one remove failed blind bearing outer casing?

How can anyone not have a welder

Got my first one when I was 16

14 here, it saw a lot of action.

Lucky you. A 140 amp sip air cooled here, got a hole cut out the back eventually and a wee fan fitted to stop it cutting out. The oil cooled Oxfords and Bantams were superb welders, beautiful steady current. Mine is still here too, the inverter is much handier to move but just not the same.

Still got ours too.
Still our only welder, although we don't do as much welding as we used to.
The earth terminal, where it goes into the case, is getting a bit worse for wear but she still welds a treat

Got a sip aircoolled as well, 300 amp he will just about run on single phase but I've got to be carefull not use him after dark, as the neighbours on the same power line get their lights flickering on and off

Tbh the fumes from rod welding get me a bit wheezy these days so I try to do it all out side so they blow away naturally as much as possible.

Sounds worryingly familiar, an air fed mask is on the urgent list.

yeah,
Or a cheaper maybe just as good option I've thought about would be a powerful fan ? Set in the right position...and a cordless one at that, would be very practical...

I miss mine. Not being able to just go make or alter something is crap.
I want to alter the inter cooler on the old landy project but I need to get someone else to do it for me:-( as no ac/dc tig here.

I still havnt got into TIG, it will be one of my next challenges one of our little inverters will take a torch all I've got do to is get one and some gas and rods.

Got a nice GYS mig set but it gets used far less than the MMA ones.

As above, a blind/flushfit bearing has disintegrated on my firewood processor, how do I get the outer casing out that remains. I have looked at some YOU Tube videos, that show that if a bead of weld is applied to the outer casing they just fall out, does that really happen???? Needless to say I don't have a welder ,which led me to ask about welding and welders on another thread.

If you dont know how to weld dont start learning on a bearing race your likely to weld it to the bore!

Welding works very well and easy once you can actually plant a bead of some sort down dont need to be a good welder but you do need to have a good aim with your rod

These are designed to hold in the ball groove of the outer race - But the weld, cool and bugger about method has always worked for me
