ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for in-situ crankshaft reconditioning includes a bracket connectable to the crank webs of crankshafts of a variety of sizes and configurations. The bracket includes a set of adjustably spaced, two contact point corners which are in turn connected to a set of four spaced vertical posts. The elevation of the corners with respect to the posts is adjustable. A pair of axially spaced apart annular rings are slideably connectable to the vertical posts so that their position in a direction transverse to the length of the crankshaft may be adjusted. A pair of orbital wheels are mounted on the annular rings and the precise positioning of the wheels with respect to the rings is manually adjustable through cam members. A mounting bracket carrying a machining head rotates with the wheels. The position of the machining head is adjustable in at least two dimensions with respect to the position of the orbital wheels.
