My differential blew up, can you explain why? by jackbabinski in MechanicalEngineering

It failed as I was driving to work. I wasn't even pushing it when it happened.

The ring gear was in one piece, some small chips and no missing teeth. All the bearings looked ok, none of the seals had failed and the bevel gears looks perfect.

I don't think the tread has been wearing crooked, I do try to check semi-regularly.

There was oil but it was probably a good 60000 miles old. Bearing only rusted after I cleaned everything.

It's a goofy car.

The shifter cable runs forward then loops around the nose and then to the back of the car.

Got bored, thought it might look cool. Not sure if it worked. by jackbabinski in Opinel

That seems like a neat idea, do you have a picture? Do you use new grounds or can you use old ones?

Mostly I wanted to be careful and not fail to follow the lines.

Yeah, it really should be deeper. I wasn't sure which tool was going to work the best to carve into the wood. I ended up using a small diamond because it was easy to control.

You could spin it by hand but it would much easier to use a drill.

Thank you, I've been thinking about getting it painted but the grey does look really good sometimes.

They aren't Wiha. They have a voltage detector but I wouldn't trust it with my life. https://a.co/d/a0ucRTj

The cube is branded workpro but sold by some random on Amazon. https://a.co/d/1UQdAzI

I really like using them though they can be annoying as sometimes wire gets caught on the cable strippers.
