This project transforms an old industrial bearing into a massive, hand-forged blade, demonstrating how discarded steel can be repurposed into a functional tool. Through careful heating, shaping and ...

A large industrial bearing serves as the unlikely starting point for this Damascus steel katana build. The project follows the transformation of hardened steel into layered patterned metal through ...

This section of the industry may be classified as jobbing with quantities generally small varying from one off to perhaps 100 off. Tooling for producing open die work may consist of flat or shaped ...

Some manufacturing processes increase bearing life. Their main disadvantage is additional cost. Forging produces a fiber orientation in the race material that makes the races less sensitive to ...
