Hi all, Thanks for the kind comments. For the housing “feet” a couple of pieces of 6mm aluminium plate were milled square and to size Holes were drilled and countersunk. Some corners were rounded over. The finished feet. And mounted on the housing. A couple of bosses were turned for the eyebolt locations. For the rear bearing block a piece of aluminium was milled square and to size, the centre for the bearing was located and spot drilled. Material was milled away to start forming the boss of the bearing block and the bearing hole was drilled. The boss and the hole were finished with the boring head. The part was flipped over and the process repeated. Here the boring bar can be seen mounted “wrong way around” to cut the outsides of the bosses, the mill was run in reverse for this. Cheers Abraham |

Nice work there Abraham :bow: As this is vac motor, I presume its series wound? You have access to the ends of the field coils, how are you going to excite them, seperate regulator? |
| Alan Haisley:
Lovely work. Are the bosses glued in or will the ringbolts hold them in place? |
