To me it would only be worth maybe $20 just for parts or to modify for a single use, maybe a small surface grinder if the speed is good.

It's you!............ Just kidding! ;D You can bet that whoever is complaining would most likely be posting "their" build of one. Carry on young man.

Coleman fuel is a petroleum naphtha product marketed by The Coleman Company. Historically called white gas (not white spirit), it is a liquid petroleum fuel (100% light hydrotreated distillate) usually sold in one gallon cans. It is used primarily for fueling lanterns and camp stoves. Though...

Thread is over 5 years old. :hDe:

I've been wanting the get a 5c chuck for about a year but farming isn't cheap and last year wasn't good and if corn prices don't go up - this year doesn't look great either.... :(

Looking good there. I hope the man door is wider than it looks. Big machinery likes big doors.

Nice! I like the wood base also.

Looking real good Gus. I enjoy your updates because they have such pretty pictures. :) Keep up the good work. Maxx

Howdy there, Bob. Looks like a nice engine to me. I'm new to small engines and haven't built one yet. From all the studying I have done here I see my list growing for the tooling I need to get first. I can see this becoming an addiction. :hDe: Maxx

I put glass scales on my mill about 6 months ago. The plastic piece that secures the read head to the scale was about the same thickness you listed. The install specs for mine called for a .004 gap between the read head and the scale body. I actually went a bit wider .010 and it reads just fine.

Looks great and sounds good. Are you sure you have the dynamo wired right? It should put out way better than that.

I keep an eye on CL but around here people ask way too much for the good boxes.

I picked up some iGaging scales for my lathe. First up is the carriage scale but the bed rail isn't parallel to the machined backside of the carriage. I need an angle plate to mount the ends of the scale to, gosh how do I figure the angle? I have an idea! I'll use my new iGaging Angle Cube I...

Spotted this video on YouTube, I see it is made by a member of another forum. It gives basic sound advice and gets you in the ballpark. I keep a hand written chart on my wall and had forgotten the basic formula so it is a good refresher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIUS_0xfeGg

Simply amazing! That is definitely not a project for an impatient person. Maxx

You put the ring in the bore use the top of the piston to make sure the ring is sitting square in the bore. Then use feeler gauge to check the gap of the ends. If the gap is too tight lightly file the end and recheck the gap. 4 thousandths is 0.1016 mm.

Congrats, very nice!

Just spotted your thread, here is a newly made video about speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIUS_0xfeGg

I can't see it, I don't do facebook. I can normally see some peoples FB, I guess your account is set for friends only.

Did it come equipped with ball screws? If not you might have some issues especially with direction changes.
