Beautifully thought through, and executed John! :clap: Given me several ideas for the 'orribly mismatched, Robinson flywheel...... :thumbup: David D |
| Bogstandard:
Thanks Dave. I always have a problem, if I haven't got a strategy plan to work to, I invarariably put off machining until I have. Sometimes it can be a few minutes, sometimes weeks. It might even be a bit of tooling needs making or purchasing that delays things, but invariably, when it comes to the time, I will be following a pre planned route. I do occasionally 'wing it', but only when it is something that can be made again relatively easily if a mistake occurs. This component isn't one of those. John |

That is a nice looking flywheel now John. I think it looks really nice in bronze, but always think it's strange they don't use cast iron for things like flywheels as it'd be more representative of an original. Must be easier to cast bronze? Lower temp? Great work :thumbup:, I can see a rotary table would be useful for me but then I'd need the appropriate adaptors and tooling to go with it. Nick |
| Bogstandard:
Nick, I don't know why but on smaller engines bronze seems to be a favourite, but I could see it getting very expensive on a larger engine if it was used. I am now trying to do a lot more on my mill, as the lathe is now getting rather difficult for me sometimes, that is the main reason for the RT, that is the tool that resembles the lathe the closest. I reckon with a little work, I could have done the whole lot on there. John |
| NickG:
Quite incredible, most people see their lathe as the cornerstone of their workshop but you are showing with that extra axis that so much can be done on the mill too, and it has a larger capacity. :thumbup: |
