ChrisHow are you planning on holding the big end caps to the rods ?It looks like you will nip the journal if you tighten up those screws too much. Maybe studs and lock nuts ?Have you pinned the bushes to prevent them rotating in the rod.Phil
You didn't slice a loaf of bread for sandwiches yesterday did you Chris, and got inspired? Only that loaf of followers and the individual slices look mighty familiar........... In my shop the loaf would probably be called Blunder Bread these days rather than Wonder Bread! Just kidding around, the parts and tooling look excellent as usual.
Awwwww my hero......... Don
Hi Chris. just a thought before cutting the waste away - how do you you plan to oil the followers on the eccentrics? You could form an "oil box" out of the waste area either at the back end or next to the rods. This could have a small drilled hole to seep oil into the follower groove / eccentric od. the fitting work looks great!
Now you made me hungry! Not shortbread's, by any chance?
