Hi John For that size you could use a bit of round tool steel in a holder. The holder can simply be a bit a square bare with a hole down the middle and split down it length. the tool post clamps pinching the holder on the tool keeping it where you want. Hope this helps Stew |

John, Sounds great, looking forward to the project! Nick |

Stew, I found a 7/8" drill in a junk shop today so I will be able to make a decent hole that wont need much to true it up, it might be a millimetre or so more than I intended but that wont be a problem as the design is not really finalised yet. I had tried a bit of 3/16 tool steel but it was too springy at the length required but with a bigger drill to start I should be able to get something stiff enough into the hole. John |

Hi John I was just curious if the Artful Bodger might, might, did make a little engine? Enquiring minds want to know and it will refresh the topic. :ddb: :ddb: Cheers :beer: Don 254 |
