Pillow Block Bearing: a Grey-Iron Housing Bored for a Ball Bearing

A pillow block holds a shaft in a bearing parallel to the surface it is bolted to. Heavy housings are commonly grey cast iron, the bearing is usually 52100 steel, and the shaft is held with set screws or collars (Wikipedia, Pillow block bearing). This one is a housing cast in grey iron, bored on the lathe and fitted with a ball bearing, for an 8 mm shaft. Design and sizes are ours. The picture: our drawing.

Make the pattern

From pine, make a pattern: a flat base 90 × 25 mm with a lug at each end, and a round boss rising from its middle about 40 mm across, its axis parallel to the base. Allow a little extra on the boss for boring, and taper all sides so it draws.
