a small update I faced of a piece of 38mm round stock in the four jaw chuck till I go the correct sizes. then lined up for the center of the cylinder and drilled it out in the lathe, increasing the drill size 1mm at atime till I got to the required size then with a reamer in the chuck in the tailstock I reamed the hole to finish the cylinder. I turned the 4 jaw chuck by hand as i slowly turned in the reamer. thats all for now :D |

Thanks Stew :D here are a couple of pics to show how they fit to the loco. I have drilled and taped one hole on the front of each cylinder for mounting the other hole will be marked out after final cylinder alignment :D I havent drilled the port holes yet so still some work to be done. Im going to need a Mill for this I think to get accuracy |

Hi Shoey You can sucessfuly mill the ports in a lathe using a vertical slide. This is what they are like you can get them to fit most lathes. http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Machines-Accessories/Lathe-Accessories Cheers Stew |

thanks Stew for that only problem is that I dont have slots in my cross slide to mount one I would have to drill and tap it ::) |
