First cuts tonight. Some trepidatioon on my part as it's the first serious machining I've done since my right eye lost a little of it's effectiveness! Not to worry, I'm adjusting!
Bashing away at the cylinder casting on the FB2/V10P mill. The material machines beautifully!
Lovely finish. The centreline witness mark came off with a rub on the surface plate.
Turned over to find a 0.030" belly on the casting. I'll finish it tomorrow.

Just went to the Reeves site and looked up that engine, its going to be a beautiful one! Following along here...

Surely the "belly" is just the result of the draft angle needed to get the casting out of the sand. Also visible in the machining of the first surface.
