Nice work as per see you still have that shiny filter for your camera :)

Any one question regarding the slotting tool, what is the shape for the leading edge of the bit, I have one of the Hemmingway ones but had little success with key way broaching , same lathe as you show
A pic of the side and front would be very nice


Have you got that cupola working ?

Thanks for the info ihad been using a zero front rake in the mistaken belief that it would stop dig in

Thanks again

Well as my mobility has decreased I have got rid of my loco,s and now make stationary engines

At the moment I am on with the Galway none dead centre engine

A few machine mods to make them easier to use sitting down difficult to wangle the handles on crutches  :)

RobWilson:
Hi Stuart

Sorry to here you had to get rid of your loco  :( , but glad to here your still active in the shop , nowt wrong with a good stationary engine , and the Galway is a fine example  :thumbup:

I hope you will take the time to post a few photos when its done  :poke:  or in progress  :poke: :poke: :)


Just think of the cutter as a single tooth on a broach , good and sharp it takes me less than a minute to cut a 1/4 key  1 1/4 long in steel   :thumbup:

Yes Rob it was quite a wrench to part it was not one but four the two latest ones one was part built , both not even fired but with a boiler maker built boiler with complete paper trail I sold them in exchange for a carrier bag of twenty pound notes looked like a bag of bricks.

The other two were found a good home


As to the Galloway it will be a long time as I am not as quick as I used to be but its getting there that brings me the greatest pleasure

Stuart
