I like gluing in supports between the webs im not machining to keep the crank from flexing.

You just wave a torch at it later on and the cyano lets go.  Clean up with Acetone.

Superglue will hold the packing rods well enough to handle spinning on the lathe?

Yup!!!   Think about it, when it's between centers, the lathe is squeezing on the packing.   the glue just keeps it there.  I size the packing pieces and cut them from bar stock and face to length.

Craig,
You're making good progress. Some great ideas guys, I think I'll file them away. I think when I made the Upshur I ground a 3/8 nut to fit and let the center's pressure hold it together. Val was an overhung crank.

Dave, Chris, Art, Pete; thanks for your comments.  I’ll give you another option that I use for temporarily fastening the support between the throw webs for support… hot glue.  I’ve used it numerous times, easy to install and cleanup is a breeze.

UPS usually delivers to residences in my neighborhood at dark-30 but today the UPS delivery showed up mid-afternoon, so I got some work in after all.  That probably was as well because tomorrow is supposed to be C…..O…..L…..D and there probably won’t be any shop time.

After grinding this ½ inch shank down to 3/8th inch I got busy finishing the throw.  Didn’t take any pictures, so after I was all done, I caught-up with the photos, you’ll get the idea.

Cleaning up the left (center) throw



  Cleaning up the right throw



Working down to the final diameter



A little final sanding to remove a few tool marks



Next I’ll move on to the left-hand throw.

Dave, Chris; thanks for stopping by.  It is a large piece to be swinging in the lathe.  I’ll be glad when I have these throws complete and I can be working outside instead of inside the throws.  One little lapse of concentration and have the throw come around and strike the tooling and UGLY things will happen. :hammerbash:

I braved the cold North Carolina weather (yea- you guys in Canada are laughing yourself silly now :lolb:) and worked on the other throw.   It was pretty much the same procedure.

Here I’m milling out between the throw shoulders (stuck to the way I did the first one- if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it)



Finishing up on the mill

 
And the lathe work

Coming along well Craig!! Yes the temps were rather cool today. The shop heat pump is sure helping though.

Machining crankshafts makes your old heart go "pitter-patter", doesn't it!!! It was -28 C here today with the wind-chill. I had to go out and buy a new electric drill and get a different intake valve spring, and it certainly wasn't bikini weather.

Craig,
I have to ask, how far out is that lathe tool sticking out. It looks to be about 2 inches. The one lathe tool I have for that sort of thing I used on the cooling fins on Val, I needed .720 depth of cut to clear the corners of the cylinder, clears the tool by .03". A friend used the wire EDM to cut it .5 tall .25 wide blank. I should design on with radiused corners relieved in the center, for turning crank throws. Then when he has time on the machine he can make me a new one to use on a crankshaft.
