Hello to all, Hope everybody had a nice Christmas and Santa was very generous. Next up was the valve chest and, as the mill is still out of commission, a piece of brass was fly cut to size. It was then centered lengthwise, and the boss for the packing seal turned. It was drilled and taped. For the deep hole I had to make a long drill by soldering a drill bit into a length of bar. Test fitting the packing nut and valve pushrod. The part was then turned around and the boss on the blind side turned, and parted off. The round over was done by file. The piston pushrod was cut to length and threaded. Tuning the pin for the valve pushrod. Cheers Abraham |

Hi all, Next a slice of cast iron was marked and cut. A layout was stuck to the slice and some further cuts made. The off cuts will be used later. The main piece was centered in the 4-jaw chuck, the outside turned to size and the gland boss turned. Ready for drilling. The left over piece had to be turned over and machined from the other end to make the blind head. Being cut off. To hold the blind head for facing the outside an ER40 chuck was used. A slug of 25mm bar was placed in the back of the collet so it could close. The finished pair. That’s all for now. Cheers Abraham |
