My shaft puller

[dbwood]

A while back I saw some posts about different shaft pulling techniques. I took some quick pictures of my pulling set-up and thought I'd share them with you. It's just a bottle jack, pipe clamp, bench vise, 3/8" wrench, and some boards. It would never fly in a production shop, but for what I do it works.

Hey, if it works.....

Very 'creative' I must say...

Well done!

Mines a Size 9 boot on the end of my foot to hold the head down whilst I yank the shaft out from the grip end! I really do need to get setup with a real shaft puller!

Got any pics of your sweet setup???:thumbs up::laugh:

That's actually pretty slick! Nice work!

I just use a wooden jawed vise to hold the head, and my hand to pull the shaft.
No problem at all. Once the glue is hot enough, it requires no big amount of force.

Thats pretty slick. Does it work well?

I was thinking of buying a puller but maybe I could build my own.

BTW, Are you a Woodnet Person ?

Nice setup. Very clever.

I've only done four drivers with it, but it's been fine. The bottle jack is capable of far more force than necessary so I just use fingertip pressure until the wood lever bows the tiniest little bit. Warm the hosel up with one or those cheap butane torches and the head slides right off.

I've lurked on Woodnet a little bit and Woodweb a little more, but I'm not a member at either place. I've been building furniture and cabinetry professionally for about 30 years. My current day job is building interiors for corporate jet aircraft so I work with a lot of exotic veneers, fiberglass, nomex, kevlar, graphite panels, all kinds of stuff. I get to remove/replace or new install a lot of epoxied in fittings.

"Nice Niche"
must be demanding on your back and legs, working in that environment!
