Ok.... This thread is rapidly becoming the wrong one!! So I'll ask that any Aeolipile comments be placed here..... http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=389.0
Just to keep the forum in order! I'm going to copy the bit I wrote and paste it there to allow continuity and flow :med: ;D
Thank you.
Ralph. (John, your answer will be there too :) )

So help me out Ralph...
I hope to get to the tool post Weds. I need all the info you can share about setting it up for the insertable bit, height and such.

Just one little bit to add here.... The final adjustment.
Due to a small DRO mounted on the cross slide (I noticed this during the last check before it is sent to the new owner) being 17mm high a bend is required in the handle. So....
Place 2 bars on one side and one on the other, the bar to be bent is positioned between them in the vice and turn until the bar is bent! (this took an extention on the vice handle... It will bend a small dia' vice handle so care is needed)
Sounds easy right?.... Well the trick is in getting the bars to stay still whilst you get the one to be bent into the correct position..... I cheated... used bluetack!! :thumbup:
The end result....
I also made a blank for the knob of the handle... Nothing special just a piece of brass 16mm dia' bar 18mm long. Threaded for the thread on the handle. All that he needs to do is make a little arbour and turn his first ball.... :D
Shouldn't be too hard?!?!
Well that's it until I get some pic's of what it can do (maybe a video?) I'll post them at that time.
Ralph.
