I checked the fixture before and after each section was turned and it was consistently in the .0002-.0004" radially and axial run out range. That said, I don't think I could do any better if I tried. I've not measured it yet, but I will, but I think it'll be fine. The fixture worked very well, and asl long as you were gentle, it stayed put. . . . . . . Just keep and eye on the fixture, and keep checking it with a dial indicator to make sure it stays true.Dave

The crankshaft will be as true as you can make it. Did I say it looks fantastic.Mike
Woa - now this is a major point in this build that you just completed and it looks fantastic Looking forward to the rest as you find time Per
Crank is done!!! Interestingly enough, the best way to get the small chips off the parts while I was machining was a clean toothbrush!!..
How do you keep the toothbrush clean??Quote from: steamer on January 03, 2022, 09:25:08 PMYa know Hugh, I have no idea. I have not noodled why the brush works and nothing else would, there doesn't appear to be anything on the brush....I suspect electrostatic effects....but all I know is it worked amazingly well!!!Dave

I hear you steamer. I'm finally making good progress on the radials and I'm hearing 7 days 12 hours at the end of February. Just plug along when you get time and the crazy will end someday.
