Nice idea with the rotary table, gives you a lot more control, finer feed :thumbup: |

Cheers Guys My lathe has quite a big throw, so I could get the rotary table under the chuck, it probably won't work with most lathes. Stew |

Things slowed down on this over the last week what with visiting our son up in Glasgow, and i wasn't too happy how it was running far to sluggish, so I've spent a few days tinkering with it, the engine that is. Slowly chased the stickiness out of it final part was to make a new front cover, for some reason or other it was nipping the piston rod and slowing things up, so made a new one making sure, everything was correct, that did the trick its running great:- like one of Dave Stilldrilling orphans. Also spent a bit of time drawing up the governor Your probably thinking how the hell is he going to make that, well I've no bloody idea also :scratch: :lol: But you don't know what you can do until you try. First part the swiveling bit. Rough out a chunk of brass bar. Then form the domes, things were a bit tight so I had to finish off the back dome with a file and Mk 1 eye ball. Looks ok Tomorrow I'll start to mill it out. Stew |
