A bit more done today

, worked on the air control valve spindle , this was turned and screw cut , then slapped onto the mill like so .

Two flats mill on the screwed section .

Then a section of spindle was milled away for the gate /butterfly .

And then a couple of hole were poked in .

Next a 1 mill thick disc was turned , this needs two slots milled . I used an old bearing race to centre the chuck with the aid of my Zero set indicator (Wilson copy) , just love that tool .

Then the disc mounted and milled .

Nearly there .

Just seen the reference to David Vizard, that's a name from the past. I think his how to modify your Mini book is still the most thumbed and dilapidated book I have on the shelf.

I've had a couple of Thiels and a polish copy that was nice - all sold on. The two mills I have now and have done for a few years are an Ajax and a Shizuoka CNC. I got tired of having to buy two lots of tooling for both mills, so when the nearly new and well tooled Ajax came about, I decided to take the plunge.

RobWilson · « **Reply #112 on:** May 04, 2015, 09:58:44 AM »

Aye Vizard's book is a must for A series engine tuning

RobWilson · « **Reply #113 on:** May 04, 2015, 10:07:46 AM »

A wee bit more progress this morning , thought I would post now as I need to stop for a curry .

Made up a couple of shouldered washers , cant be doing with way ward springs LOL.

The slot required a tad of hand fitting at the bench .

And it all goes together like so .

Thats the valve just about done , I have left the other end long and un machined as I am still undecided how I will be controlling the valve.

Next ,welded on the dump flange .

And this is it so far .

Cheers Rob

Besides the other glamorous stuff I forgot for a minute about the custom vise jaws themselves. Good to see them again!

Zadig · « **Reply #116 on:** May 06, 2015, 02:57:04 AM »

"Glamorous" is the pefect word.

Lovely work. It does have the look of being able to carry out "Uranium Enrichment" mind!

Well a tad more done , Knocked up the blower mounting bracket this morning

This just clips over the bottom rail of the stand , the reason is two fold it allows a degree of float and once the forge is pushed back into the corner motor/fan accesses
will be difficult , this way I can just lift the motor/fan assembly out if needed.

Motor attached .

And in position .

Just need a bit pipe work welded up to join the blower to the control valve .

Cheers Rob

Aye its canny mate ,
