切割时注意将钢管放平和稳固，不让它滚动以免受到伤害
http://s2/mw690/002a7NW0zy6J849jv3331&690
切割完成，边缘整齐。

    要考虑的第一件事是两辊，设计其可能直的径和方法。 As there are two scrap metal yards in the city, we went to them to see what kind of steel tubing was available.到二手废铁市场，我们去给他们看什么样的钢管是可用的。 We found suitable 3/8th inch thick steel tubing that was 6 inches in diameter;我们找到了适合3/8th英寸厚的钢管，这是直径为6英寸; for two lengths to make a 30 inch wide bed.两个长度，以30英寸宽的。 The first thing to do was to cut the tubes to size – using a cutoff disc.要做的第一件事就是确定管大小 - 使用截止光盘。 The tube where then trimmed to length, leaving a little for final truing on a lathe.该管的地方再修剪长度，留一点作最后修整在车床上。

It was decided that we would use a high quality shaft as the Brandt press at the university had broken when a student had put too much pressure on the rollers.会议决定，我们会用高质量的轴作为勃兰特记者在大学已经打破，当一个学生已经把太多的压力在滚轮上。 When I went to my friend who owned a machine shop, he came to look at the damage and told me the steel was likely a number XXXX which should have been YYYY, that he had in his shop.当我去我的朋友谁拥有的机修车间，他是来检查的伤害，并告诉我的钢铁很可能许多XXXX本来是年，他曾在他的店里。 I told him that the outside tube might be supported with a doughnut-like ring inside, which would make it impossible for him to replace the shaft.我告诉他，外面的管子可能与一个甜甜圈状的环内，这将使它不可能为他更换轴支撑。 We took off the roller and in week or so, called me that it was fixed with the better steel shaft and a trued new surface on a lathe.我们脱下辊和一周左右的时间，打电话给我，这是固定的更好的钢轴和trued新的表面在车床上。

钻一个圆孔，并扩大了与一个工具，以适应轴的直径。

    我们决定从与甜甜圈环的内侧加强管，所以从废料场的1/4英寸的钢板被切开，使六环 - 1上的每一个的内部和2的两端。 The cutoff saw was used to separate the pieces and trim them closer to a circle.截止锯被用于分隔件和装饰他们更接近圆形。 The best way we thought of making the donuts was to cut out a plywood disc and screw it unto the faceplate of the lathe.我们认为制作甜甜圈的最好方法是，切出一个胶合板盘并拧对车床的面板。 Four holes to screw the sheets unto the plywood on the faceplate was all that was needed to produce center hole that was made to fit the shaft, using a boring tool.四个孔的螺丝直到面板上的胶合板板是所有需要产生是为了适应轴的是，使用镗刀中心孔。

    The plates were transferred to a three jaw chuck to lathe the outer edge that would fit inside the roller tube.将板转移至3爪卡盘到车床的外缘，将适合的滚筒管内。 You will notice that I have made a more solid tool holder as I had found the original tool post was not really ridged enough, which I only use when needed for angle cuts.你会发现，我已经做了更坚实的刀架，因为我已经找到了原来的刀架是不是真的成脊状足，这是我所需要的角度切割时，只能使用。   The block will take both 1/4 and 1/2 inch bits, considering the project.该块将两个1/4和1/2英寸的比特，考虑到该项目。

轴是因为特殊的功能需要，以防止它打破了最昂贵的印刷机的组成部分之一

    由于是夏天，漂亮外，我们决定搬到室外焊接，因为我可以很容易地得到电源110伏交流弧焊机从地下室靠窗的电源插头。 Since the chosen steel could become brittle from arc welding and extreme local heating, we used an acetylene torch to preheat the shaft before arcing the ring into place.因为所选择的钢可以成为从弧焊和极端的局部加热，我们使用乙炔焊炬起弧环到位前预热轴上。

http://s15/mw690/002a7NW0zy6J85EePsq9e&690
    自从我的110伏小焊机是不够的厚金属，焊缝不化妆，但对于压力足够强大。 Some grinding and filling with body putty made a decent looking set of rollers.一些打磨和填充体腻子做一个体面的面色一组辊子。 One of the shafts is longer at one end to accommodate the gear to turn the bottom drive roller.一个轴的长度在一端以容纳齿轮转动底部驱动辊。  http://s4/mw690/002a7NW0zy6J85QRXbl23&690

    Since my lathe was too short for this set of rollers, we took them to an industrial metal shop that trued the surfaces and shaft ends cut to size.由于我的车是太短，这组滚子，我们把他们带到了trued表面和轴伸尺寸切割的工业金属店。 As they didn't seem to have a belt sander on hand, they used a disc sander that produced the unsightly surface.因为他们似乎没有有砂光机在手，他们用所生产的难看表面的盘式砂光机。

轴承制作：

http://s7/mw690/002a7NW0zy6J85ZitLM26&690
   人们可以使用滚珠或滚柱轴承，但为了降低成本，我们采用类似于我用在我的敞篷按套管系统。 It was more work but a learning experience for us as well.这是更多的工作，但对我们是一个学习的经验。 We decided to use two inch long bushing that set the dimensions of many other parts, like the upright supports and wooden sides of the press.我们决定用两英寸长的套管的设置上其他许多地方一样，直立支撑和新闻界的木边的尺寸。
