SNIPUse of the faceplate dates back to the time when the lathe was the main machine in the workshop and few had a mill
Hi John,Excellent work and great set-ups!John, everybody seems to want to mount the beam in a chuck and spin it. I was wondering if the whole job could not be done on a mill/drill? Once centre line was established, could not the table be just moved along to bore the holes?Each boss of the beam and the flanges could also be skimmed while the beam was fastened to the table. Just wondering...
.Some nice machines you have there. - More importantly it seems you know also how to use them.! Nick
Making some good progress since I last checked in. The pictures are great too for showing the set-ups. Bill
Nice to see you have one of the old flywheels without those nasty lugs that the current ones have where the spoke joins the rim.J
The parallel motion looks great John. So what kind of fixture did you come up with to help with all those links....fiddly work for sure!!!Bill
Nice "cheat" Though I'm nut not into studs as such, I must admit that you have reached a very nice looking engine with paint, studs, nuts, finish and all
