Encouraged by Anthony, here's photos and some links to some of the stuff that keeps me out of mischief :) A small gas turbine built in 2012. Photobucket link to a slide show of the build. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/madluther/slideshow/Turbine%202 http://s87.photobucket.com/user/madluther/Turbine%202/story Some mods made to an X2 mini mill, this is still a work in progress. Slide show and story links http://s87.photobucket.com/user/madluther/slideshow/Mill http://s87.photobucket.com/user/madluther/Mill/story Thanks for looking. Steve. |

Hi Steve, I perused the pictures. I had been playing with Acytal to do bearings as well.. but never got very far. How do you like them? Eric |

Hi Eric, Thanks for looking in. I like the acetal nuts a lot. The thread here at homeshipmachinist got me started on them. They are fairly easy and quick to make but it does take a little bit of time and fiddling to get them just right. They have good and bad points. Good points: Zero backlash and very low wear. Bad points: They are temperature sensitive. A nut made at 20 oC will be tighter at 0oC and looser at higher temps, but as I get older I prefer the shed temps to be around 20 degrees C so its not that big of a drawback. The lesson here is make the nuts at the temperature that they will be used at. Regards, Steve. |
