One of my co workers ( fellow machinist )had a Paul Breisch Lil' Bother casting kit he got over 30 years ago. He started on it but never finished. Looks like all he done was starting the flywheels, skimmed both ends of the cylinder and skimmed the base. I also have the nylon for the sparkplug...
I'm just south of Allentown and we've only gotten a dusting of snow.
I'll post in the morning but I'm pretty sure it'll still be on.

I'll be working on the 485 hp Cooper engine tomorrow at R&T
When I purchased my 1942 vintage Monarch CK12, it came with a well worn 8" skinner chuck. It's only saving grace was it had bolt on jaws.
A few months ago, I purchased a 10" four jaw chuck with D1-6 mount.
I got that from Tools4Cheap.net for a good price and it shipped quickly.

The first one was stabbed thru both sides ( in one side out the other ) with both forks. When the truck driver brought it, the...

Plus, most dowel pins are made with a +.0002/-0 tolerance. Bot as...

Exactly what I was going to type. Don't have a pitch gage or a bolt? Set the pitch on a set of calipers and "eyeball" it. Your 1" 8tpi has a pitch of .125

A lot of good advise was given. I machine castings at work.
Machining a casting is working with averages. You'll have critical features that take priority and less important ones. Think the entire job thru from start to finish. Make sure the path you take will give you a good part when...
