Got in the shop and was able to machine the base castings. The 1 inch bars are ready and fits nice. I started to machine the bases and looked in the lower drawer of my box to find two adjustable reamers, one too small but the other one has a range of 31/32 to 1 1/8 inches. How sweet when things come together. Here is a few pics. |

Hi You will find this a very interesting and rewarding project, and something you will be proud of when finished. It is a very versatile machine, and well worth the effort. Good Luck David |

Hi Nelson, Have you thought about using split cotters on the castings instead of splitting the casting it's self? I've seen this proposed as a variant by quite a lot of Quorn builders and although I haven't built a Quorn, I've used split cotters quite a lot and I find them far superior to splitting a casting and using a pinch bolt. This is shown in 2589 CotterLocks.pdf from "The Model Engineer" Jan 1961, the one in fig 3 is the most aplicable in my opion. Regards, Matthew |

Matthew Thank for the kind words and yes I am going to use cotters instead of slits. My thought is why make a point of grit to get into when you do no need to. The only slit I'm going to cut is the spindle mount. The spindle is enclosed so it will not hurt anything. Also some of the spots I'm going to drill and bore at an angle so a cotter can be used. David I looked at one for years before taking the dive and well I in too deep to stop now. I believe it will be a big asset when finished. Cheers All Nelson Collar |
