It was a fairly productive weekend. The first thing I did was to ream the standard to final dimension.
I was going to do the bolt circle int that setup but I realized the standard was clocked slightly clockwise. Rather than measuring and adjusting,I rebuilt the setup with some pins to clock the part the way I wanted and drilled the holes.
The standard was flipped over and the mounting feet drilled.
That completes the standard so I started the crankshaft. The crank webs were cut to size, glued together and milled to shape.
Naturally when I went to drill the holes the glue bond broke. I rigged up some stops and drilled he crank webs individually.
Next shoulders were turned on the crank pin. I also center drilled the end of the crankshaft for decorative purposes. Then the crankshaft was assembled on a surface plate.
After the loctite cured I drilled the assembly for pinning.
I used some 1/16 inch drill rod as pins to pin the crankshaft.
That’s all I can do until the loctite cures so I’m calling it a session.
Till next time
