Does anyone have some Babbitt?

[pontiac428]

I'm looking for a few pounds of some known-good bearing babbitt. Anyone have some sitting off in the corner somewhere that is going unutilized?

Just for clarity, I'm not looking for any old lead, but a hard lead alloy for babbitting bearings. I am looking to use it to restore a 7/8 internal hex sliding bearing bore for the carriage drive on my Nardini.

Thanks!

Probably about 2 lbs, maybe a little extra in case it ends up leaking onto the floor when I pour it. It's a one-shot project. Thanks for looking into it.

Give me a minute and I/ll send you some pictures. This is bearing grade I used for 3 and 4" shafting before I retired.

This is severe service Tuftex 77 nickel Rollite babbitt. If you can use it let me know and it's your's.

The highest grade would be "high speed nickel babbit" McMaster has a good comparison chart.

I had a Babette once, but that's a whole different thing. Mike
