    my new granite surface plate

    If you have a mill and dial indicator you can measure the quality of the surface this rock :) Of course, to the nearest designated by the milling table ;D It might be interesting and instructive to others - measuring boards cost a lot :(

    My first steam engine

    Thank you, I checked and in my case I have Large Clearance :-[. I suppose it should be Push Clearance. Is there any theory for clearance of cylinder and piston ?

    My first steam engine

    It probably depends on what you can do with better accuracy - I know now that it is easier to do first cylinder and then adjust the piston in the lathe. For example, was quite hard to measure the diameter of the cylinder when it was on the milling table. Robert
