Swarf production is in full swing.

(1/5) > >>

techno ludite:
Yer 'tis then.

This years quota of swarf has started with a vengance  :ddb: started machining up the parts for the little pump I got from southworth engines.

 
 Family group shot.                                                                                     Finished Columns.

    
 Going old school with a 'sticky pin' setting up on the rotary table,                  Now just about to start milling up the pump base.
 not happy with all those new fangled doo-hickeys.

I wont bore you all, all in one go, so here's a link to my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/techno-ludite/sets/72157624037389809/ with the rest of them.

The next post I shall try and include a few more of the ones that I forgot to get pics of.

Divided he ad:
Looks like your having fun  :headbang:



Sticky pin eh?  I'm obviously not old.... erm, school enough to know this one  :scratch:



I don't know about this castings stuff.... I would have thought you could make those bits from bar stock? Then again you'd need the plans I suppose?



Still looks good :thumbup:

Thanks for showing

techno ludite:
I'd liked to appologise for using profanities on this site.

Swarf production was stopped last week due to a really horrible case of 'man flu', these head colds can knock you sideways when you least expect it and there is no mrs ludite to mop my fevered brow when I do come down with the lurgy, and wouldn't know it those buggers at ( profanity alert ) work :whip: needed me to do something or another   :coffee: .

But here is the latest offerings to the god of swarf production  :bow: ,

    
  Undercutting the pump valve.                                                                 Group shot #2

    
  Pump valve drg.                                                                                      One of the pump unions.

  
   Cylinder bottom finished milling.


And the rest are on my flickr page, http://www.flickr.com/photos/techno-ludite/sets/72157624037389809/  as usual

Hmm it looks as though I've made a bit of a balls up on the pump valve machining, oh well back in the lathe it goe's again tomorrow night.

Techno.

Must be a great feeling being back on deck!. Its looking good.

Divided… sticky pin= chewing gum or plummers putty stuck on the end of your  collet holder or chuck with a needle or any sharp pointed pin placed in it , turn the spindle on and slightly hold the revolving pin between two fingers and get pin to revolve true just like a wobbler stick center finder only this set up is only worth about 5 cents works every time.

Keep up the good work brother..           Anthony.
