AOG’s version of the Elmer’s number 33 mill engine
AOG:
It’s been a while since I posted my last build. I got a little burnt out on model engineering so I decided to take a break for a while. Now I’m back and ready to build my next engine. I haven’t built an Elmer’s engine in a while so I decided to take a stab at his number 33 mill engine.
I started with the base plate. It was squared up and coordinate drilled.
Then the sub base was squared up and drilled. I decided to omit the fake mounting feet because I didn’t think they added anything to the model.
Then I used a 7 degree angled endmill to cut in the draft angles.
Next up was the base. The part was squared up and drilled. I ended up misreading the prints and putting some holes in the wrong place but i plugged them and redrilled. Thankfully the plugs will be hidden under the cylinder.
Next up was to cut the slot for the crank. I didn’t have the right tools to put in the angles called out in the plans so I ended up using a ball endmill to make the slot.
I finished the piece by putting in the draft angles.
That’s all for now

That was one of my favorites of Elmer's engines.
