This is starting to become a superb post Bernd, well written and described, plus the pics take it up a notch or two.
Can't wait to see the finished article.
I won't ever make one, but the post is turning into a real good read, just for the techniques you are using.

Bernd:
Thanks for the kind words John.
Haven't done this type of techincal writing in a long time. :)
The pictures sure help explain a lot. 1 pic=1000 words, right?

Cool.... I like it, specially the method for alignment of the hole.... Could take a while with a dti in there?
I now have a clear mental picture as to the cotter clamps design and use.... I was thinking early on "why is it mounted with the pin in it?" :doh:
All understood now..... Been a while since I have seen something like that, possibly will be a while till I do again?
One of these days I'll find a bit of ali that'll do for one of those plates!!
Now then Bernd, my questions are ....
Are you going to use the mill for the smaller bore, or the lathe? I would think the work would stick out quite far on the lathe?
And how are you going to round the ends off ?
...... Oh the suspence!! :bugeye:
:)
Looking forward to seeing the next bit :thumbup:
