Hi all, My little oscillating steam engine is almost complete. I need some fasteners and fix some screw-ups I made. It doesn't warrant a build thread, but I have a few pictures I took. The pics demonstrate the well-stocked shop we have at school (De Anza in northern California). I'm attempting to post pics. The first shows the facing of the vertical brass frame using my favorite took, a Sandvik 2" shell mill. It leaves a beautiful finish on the brass and aluminum. The second is the bearing insert in a collet chuck before drilling the mounting holes. Everything lined up well using the DRO rather than a rotary table. The third picture is the semi-finished engine. I'll post a video once I have it running on compressed air. I'm on to the next one today! Chapman |
