Reworking a basket ring
1. the challenge
The basket of this ring is very high and should be set lower.
A challenge that would otherwise take a lot of time.
2. preparation
First, the cup is sawn out and cut to the desired height.
To make it more comfortable to wear, it is filed at an angle on both sides.
3. the new squad
A frame is then made.
It should be slightly larger than the basket so that it protrudes a little.
The opening in the ring rail is filed open and the basket is fitted.
Steps are filed on the inside into which the cadre is welded.
4. welding
After the first welding point, you can easily check the position and correct it if necessary
.
The frame is now firmly cemented all around and reinforced with a little welding wire (0.25 mm) if necessary.
5. final assembly
Now the basket is put on and the claws are welded with one or two points, depending on their position on the inside or outside.
The burr that was created when filing the joint strengthens it even more.
6. result
Finally, the ring shank is pressed onto the adjoining prong and the welds are lightly polished over.
