Like I said I don't want to hijack Jo's thread but could post some pictures if wanted. gbritnell
Looks like a fairly true CNC cylinder/head "castings" would be possible. This is the first setup that does most of the head, it would then need 4 more setups to come in from each side to do the upper couple of cylinder fins, the lower ones would be quicker to do on the lathe. In practice the valve holes and slots in the rocker posts would be better cut separately but I just used the 3D model to try out the CAM without removing these features.Downside is a high speed spindle would really be needed unless you wanted to let the machine run for hours as a long neck 1.5mm ball nosed cutter would be needed to get between the fins but if someone really wanted to make one or five it could be done.https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/2-flute-long-neck-carbide-ball-nose-end-mills-55hrc/long-neck-ball-nose-carbide-cutter-1-5mm-dia-16mm-neck-length-50mm-long-55hrc.html
