I might be laboring a bit on some of my setups, but the results seem to be coming out where I want them - and I am really enjoying making this engine, I am having more fun in the shoppe of late than I have ever had.
I use a piece of scrap spring steel to hold parallels in place.
For the bore in the eccentric, why finish with a reamer?
Quote from: crueby on May 01, 2022, 11:00:08 PMFor the bore in the eccentric, why finish with a reamer? Mainly because I already have it, but that's just being bloody minded. I think I will finish it up exactly as you describe, which sounds like a fine approach. I have HSS inserts for that boring tool, I'll probably dress the edges on the insert and then go at it as you describe, and get just as good a result. A case of not seeing the wood for the trees, while I wandered around fixated on the reamer I already had.Thanks Chris for the suggestion - very much appreciated!
