Darren:
Limited interest.....where did you get that from?

It's fascinating, still trying to get my head around the workings. I take it the headstock is turned manually and not by a motor?

bogstandard:
Mark,

There was no way I was insinuating you should go down the CNC route. I just mentioned that nowadays CNC would be the method used. I love the way old machines work.

Have you considered making one of the engine turning lathes? Now that would be a nice lifetimes project.

I think this method is at least a couple of centuries old, maybe more. Proving they had mass production way before any of us realise.
You can visualise a little street urchin, pumping away at a treadle driven cutter setup for a bowl of gruel and a lump of bread a day. Not much different from nowadays I suppose.

Lovely example shown in the vid BTW.

Cool..... Rose engines are so very facinating to watch a skilled man work......

Spent a while at a show chatting to a guy who had one set up.... He showed me how it worked on some delrin.... very, very cool!

I'd have one if I could afford it and if I thought I could manage to control it!!




You have a definate watcher here Mark  :thumbup:





Ralph.

That is so cool. It is not quite what I was thinking it was. I was thinking I had seen on a show about watch making that they showed a rose engine for machining fancy detail work into the watch faces. Ill be watching and learning also.

rleete:
Wow, that is really neat.  Never saw that before, either.  I always wondered how that stuff was cut, I assumed it was some sort of CNC router.  Never imagined that it could be done like that.  Really cool stuff.
