Arbor spacers.
bogstandard:
John,
At one time I was making model engines all the time, and using all sorts of techniques.
When I get these projects out of the way, my model engine designing and making will be resurrected.
This is my Halo project where I was setting up to do the finning on the cylinders in the lathe. This post will be restarted soon.

Kewl project...Best of luck with it.. :thumbup:
I'm tempted to have a go at the Boll diesel aero engine feature in one of the R/C mags... Trouble is dark nights and a cold workshop dont entice me to embark on this...
Apart from the fact that I'm still trying to finish my powered X axis conversion on my mill which is without problems!

Just to finish this topic off, I received the arbor spacers today. They worked out, after all the taxes and postage, just under 33 pence each. Which I am very happy with. Now I know a cheapish source, I will buy a few more in different sizes.
To put John R out of his misery, I went to the shop and set up a basic saw pack. 1/32" saws with a 0.100" spacer pack between each one.
I popped the right angled head onto the mill and set it up for milling in the Y axis, it is easier to see things doing it this way.
A bit of rough ali plate and a 0.100" depth of cut and the saws were on their way.
In less than a minute, the slots were cut.
After moving the pack over and eyeballing to basic alignment, I went for another cut.
Twelve slots cut in no time.
So I now hope you understand the reason for the spacers I was after. I have lots of slitting saws of the same size and width combinations, even small solid tungsten ones, so I will now be able to cut mass finning with ease.
