I made this ten years ago on my then new Gingery lathe. I had to make a radial milling attachment for the lathe to do it, so it was a more involved project than just the turbine itself. I'd do the turbine again quite differently now, but I was just learning then. Well, I shouldn't say that. I'm still just learning! :coffee: Here is the finished disk turbine. Milling the disk on a radial milling attachment I made for the Gingery lathe. Milling a disk port Milling a stator scroll for trying the turbine as a compressor. Notice I can mount my lathe faceplate in the rotary mill attachment. The lathe arbor has been changed to a milling spindle in the headstock. Finished scroll with rotor. |

Shortly after being accepted as an apprentice, I asked Herr Meister Muller what the difference was between an apprentice, a journeyman, and a master machinist. His answer was wonderful: An apprentice, he makes a mistake and knows not what to do. A journeyman, he makes a mistake and repair it he can. A master sees the mistake before he makes it and avoids it. I doubt that I will ever truly qualify as a master under that definition... |
