Thanks Chaps I've given Jack his dinner, roast beef with all the trimming followed by apple pie and custard:- don't know where he puts it. :) On with the cylinder:- First a turned up a blank in the lathe then transferred the chuck over onto my spin indexer on the mill and proceded to mill the valve port face and to sculpt away the shape of the cylinder by indexing 1 deg steps until I got the finished shape. Then it was a mater of drilling the valve ports and the drilling and tapping M1 for the steam chest. Then everything was moved back onto the lathe whilst every thing was nice and secured I finished off the shape Then drilled and reamed 6mm the bore 6mm I just parted it off to length Centred it under the mill The drilled and tapped m1 for the covers and drilled and milled the air passage at both ends. I've also made the top and bottom covers. Heir's all the bits assembled to date. I'll be having a rest from this for a couple of days has we have visitors stopping. Stew |
