| Powder Keg:
Thanks Chuck:o) I have a half a dozen more parts drawn up now. I have combined a couple of the parts that were soldered togather. I'm tempted to CNC a couple of the parts. But I think I'll do them manually? |
| Powder Keg:
A few of the pieces on my version of the Cyclone I'm changing a little. The Crank Disc/Pin was drawn as two separate parts. I thought it would be more fun to make them as a single piece. I had a piece of that cast iron almost big enough. It's a little small on the OD, but it just has to keep the crank bearing on. I think it will work fine. It has a .750" "throw" so a one inch indicator was out of the question to indicate it in. I ended up marking out the center and using a center point out of a wiggler set to locate the center of the pin. I got the piece pretty close then I used a indicator on the shaft to dial it in. It's not the best way to do this, but it's all I had and I wanted to start cutting metal\o/ Here I am just starting. About half way through. Done!!! Ok, not done, done. But close. I need to drill a bolt hole in the center of the pin for a keeper. Then I'll saw it off a little long and face off the other side. I took a short video so you could see some action. I'm taking .125" off the diameter here. More later..... |

Excellent video`s power keg. I noticed in your last video you were turning quite slow, I think I need to consider turning speeds more as I`m thinking I turn too fast! Chris |
