I am happy. BUT I think I can make it better and I want to make it better. Im just in the process of reorganizing my little shop (11x22) along with setting up my cnc milling machine. Also trying to learn a new software to run it (Mach3). Along with juggling my family and work life. AHHHHH. Does...

;D

Anyone using emc2? If so can you give me input on how you like it? setup, etc??

Balck85vette, Actually Now that I watched the video again. It looks right. I think it is the was you are looking at it. ;)

Now that you mentioned that, It must be my video. Looks like everything is mirrored. Weird. Probably something I did wrong on my end recording the video. I had to have my 10 year old show me how to record a video on the IMAC. I had never done that before. I remember when I was a kid my dad...

Black85vette, I got it together and running. Got it to run on lung power too! ;D Im going to make some parts on my cnc mill when I get it all setup again. But for now this is as far as im going to go with it. I need to regroup and clean my shop, lathe etc.. Here is a movie. And thanks for all...

well i guess I should have done the card stock test first! >:( I measured with the crank screw hole close to the cylinder. It should have been the other way! :'( Oh well I need to make bushings and can still use the rod to get the bushing right. ::)

Ok this is what I did for the piston side to measure for the rod. 1. I dropped the piston to the bottom of the hole and measure with my digital caliper from the top of the hole to the bottom of the piston. I came up with .407 2. I then subtracted the .063 from the .407 and got .344 3. I then...

Ya I got the valve side all done. That photo helped for that one. Does the piston want to stop just before the air hole?

Hey Black85vette, I have a question for ya. I am at the point where I need to make the rod for the piston. I already have made the rod for the valve. I am a little confused on how to measure for the piston rod. On the directions you said this. "Do almost the same thing for the piston except...

Tail stock was a pain and I really wanted to make some mods to it. But I just lapped it in and kept fiddling around with the locking set screw ( got it to repeat every time when locked down). Got to with in 1/2 of thou. That is as good as I can get it with what it is. Took me 3 hours to get it...

Thanks! I keep looking at the cylinders thinking, what can I do to make those look really nice. Not just square looking. Got a few ideas on dressing the frame up too. But before I go hog wild. I would like to see it run first. :big:

Ya I am gaining. I managed to get my tail stock adjusted. And got some more work done on the EZ. I only need to make the rods and the crank. ;D
