This is the gear fully functional.

I converted some plans from inch to metric and found this list very useful. http://mdmetric.com/tech/cvtcht.htm

This is my setup. As this is the first gear I make any comments are welcome.

I'll follow your progress with interest. Just started on the same engine. But I do it on a manual lathe and mill and on a slow tempo. I like your cylinder design.

Thanks for the reply and the most interesting link.

Hello, I have a emco 5 compact lathe. I bought it second hand. Not all the change gears are with the lathe. Some off the gears included are plastic and some are steel. I want to make extra change gears. Some time ago i made a nice deal and have some gearcutters available. Now the...

That's another nice build and good video. :cool:

Good start on the EZ engine. :cool:

Thumbs up for the scotty's :D

I've never made thread on the lathe. This was a fun way to learn. The inside thread was made with a tap. All outside thread with the lathe. M6 inside an M10 outside.

Hey Geoff, I was thinking about the small rocker engine. But Elmer's radial is also on my wishlist. Hello Zapjack, I live in Bentille. That is a very small village in Oost-Vlaanderen. Close to the border with the Netherlands. I learned a lot during this 2 builds and I will and I hope my next...

I'll remember that one. Thanks Gus.

Here it is.

It was not the intention to make a video before it was finished. But on request everything is possible. Tadaa... it is running at 2 bar in the video. It stalls at 1 bar. I hope that will drop after running in. http://youtu.be/4ee6P1R4Khg The flywheel is somewhat wobbly for the rest I am...
