3 pin plug engine
mechman48:
Hi
Just finished making my mini engine utilising the pins from a 3 pin plug; got the idea from a drawing I had from another contributor / forum... name escapes me at the mo' :scratch: ... but all credit where due... quite fiddly to get the ports in the correct position, & being 1mm dia were very carefully drilled, thankfully I had fitted DRO's to my mill a while back so made locating a lot easier, having fingers like sausages didn't help either. the only down side it takes approx' 45 psi to get it running... but this was born out by the originator also saying that it took 50 psi to get his to run, probably due to the small port sizing but it does run. Unfortunately I only have a small spray compressor so only manage to get about 5-6 seconds of continuous running out of a 3 litre tank.. some low life took my other compressor plus associated piping & an oscillating engine earlier this year... :wack: but onward & upward as they say... onto the next project!
