Hey All I have spent the last few months building the 6 Cylinder Radial Pneumatic Engine. After assembly it will not run. So I started to try and analyze what the problem may be. I think it is in the air valve configuration. The crank has an offset pin that move a valve eccentricitly over a set...

So I have spent many hours building all the parts and pieces for this six-cylinder engine. I put it together and I seem to have a problem with it. When I rotate it by hand the center wheel that holds all the conrods seems to fall behind in rotation to the crank shaft. What happens is the conrod...

I was wondering. Has anyone ever built this engine from scratch without castings?

Help guys this is not rocket surgery! It will almost start but not quite. It should be simple. One side at TDC steam valve let’s steam into the top of that chamber drives the piston down . The other side BDC the steam valve let’s steam into the bottom of that chamber and drives the piston up. I...

Hey guys. Does anyone out there have one of these? Grizzly T1191

Hey guys need a little help. This is a new item for Grizzly. It looks interesting. It says it has a 4a drive motor. I cannot find what size stepper motor that is. Does anyone have any experience with this unit or one like it? Sherline has one that looks close and it is a #23 framestepper motor...

I have downloaded the plans for this Engine from John Tom. But I see on some of the posts for building this engine what looks like blue prints. Does any one know where I might be able to get a set of prints for this engine. I see on Grab Cad a couple of 3D drawings but no dimensioned prints. Any...

Hey guys just thought I would share. I installed a new 2hp 3ph motor on my Grizzly mill. As well a a Leeson VFD. Other than the fact the motor on the mill was metric and the motor I bought was all imperial the change over was very easy. Single phase 220 in and 3 phase out. The Leeson VFD has a...

Hey Guys. Just thought I would show you a pic of the rough finished cylinders. I solved the problem of milling a radius. With a little filing it should look OK. Now on to the next parts. Thanks for the help.

I am using a rotary table to mill the top of my cylinder blocks. As you can see in the pictures I am getting a line in the center of the cut. The end mill is sharpened low in the center

I am starting to build this engine using the J. Galba drawings. I have 2 questions. 1-Has anyone built this engine here yet? 2-I am building the cylinders out of one piece each. I know how to set up to mill them but I was wondering if there are any build logs on line.

Has anyone had any experience in building a Centrifugal Pump Impeller like the one J galba uses on his beam engine?

Just wondering about upsizing a beam engine. I downloaded plans for "Gerrys Beam Engine". I would like to make it bigger by 50%. Is it as simple as adding 50% to everything.
