here are a few pictures of the work I have done on the rotary valve engine. This was my first attempt at machining the crankshaft. I used the 4-jaw chuck and dial indicator to make sure it was true and used a parting tool to cut the throws.
Hello,
I found this forum at John-Tom Home. I bought a Sherline lathe and mill about a year ago at a hobby shop where I work part time. I wish I would have gotten into this many years ago. I have started project machining a rotary valve steam engine. I go the plans at John-Tom. I thought it best...
