You might want to check their time-sheets. I'll bet they REALLY took the sharpening firm' name andwere "on the clock" while they waited for the chisels to be sharpened. If they were, be sure you get the union steward involved - don't want them to file any grievances on you.Don
Quote from: cnr6400 on July 02, 2019, 04:32:56 PMHi Chris, I wondered whether the broach tool would be adaptable to the smaller engine as soon as I saw your 3D printed model pic. Through the side on the smaller one will likely be far less involved. Good luck with the detail dimensions today. Hope the elves don't get miffed about the thicker webs. Must be an eye-straining job sharpening all those tiny cold chisels every day while they hand carve out a crank from solid .... The side of the recess is so thin that it will be quicker to just cut through and cover it with some shim stock, though the broach setup would work as well.The elves got hold of my credit card and started sending the chisels out to Sharpen-While-U-Wait till I saw the next bill.... Lazy little swarf-heads!

When I first got onto this site a flak jacket and sidearm was not yet required...... Maybe things were under control with the elves a bit better in egg nog season with the rum ration. Now they are into the summer and the cold ones, how's the pile of empties under the ash chute piling up?
Excellent crank work Chris. I wonder why more people don't try this method. To me it's easier than fiddling around trying to make a crank from pieces.gbritnell
