Thanks Mike!Started in on the con rod big ends and the eccentric followers, all out of bronze. The bar was first slit where the center of the holes will be:then milled in the steps and drilled the holes for the bolts to hold the top/bottoms together for boring the holes out. These parts will be sawn off the bar, bolted together, then bored on the lathe while holding the parts in the 4-jaw.You will doubtless notice that there are two sets, smaller is the con rod big end, large is the eccentric follower blank. Each has two sets of holes since two of each are needed. But, due to a CNC error (Count Not Correctly) I got too far out on the first set of the eccentrics and broke through the side. So went farther up the bar and did a replacement there. So, next will saw the pieces off the bar and start cleaning them up in the lathe...
