I'm an old cabinet maker and when I need new rulers for the shop I would go to store and dump out a box and go throw them to find six that would read the same sometimes it would take two boxes. I have been to get calipers and found that it's hard to find two that will read the same every time on...

That is a very nice engine you have their. I think I would like to try one I like air engines ic engines are to much $$$ for elec. parts for a model that will only run 1 or 2 times and then just look at. And this is not your first rodeo I think . Very nice work.

ok brian I don't have enough brain cells to comprehend what you sead much less how you done it . I only have one brain cell left and I don't want to tax it to much I stll have to breathe and some times I think that is to much:big::big::big:

I use wd 40 it is a water displacement oil will let the water go throw it and hold the water to the steel and will rust water won't go throw wd 40 it's what's it's made for. just my 2 cents;)

thanks I was wondering if this was what they called a flash boiler sounds like it could be close I was trying to play with a new idea. was thinking of something like a forge like heating system where water tubes are heated in a flue type boiler to reuse heat over and over something like the old...

HF dose not sell these any more I have one and went back to get one more they said they don't sell them any more to bad the one I have dose a great job for it's size I took mine and put a 1" by 91/4" table on it to have more room.:rolleyes:

Been using these for 2 years now and for the price you can't beat them if they will do the work in their size range that you need they will cut as close a tolerance as you can get on any tool now you will have to take the time to set them up and check them out.;D

Thanks for info on engines and I got my beam going and it runs good it's my first build did a vid but can't get it on site but I wanted to thank again for plans.;D yes it's ear to ear

I don't know what you are going to do with yours but if molding is what you are in to look at the grizzly mini mill and lathe it is what I got to start with and I have not had anything in it's size range that I cound not do .You can't take as big a bite but it's a hoppy so time is not a factor...

Arnald just found this thread and just wanted to say nice job. I wanted to try one myself but I,m scared to try it maybe I will after seeing what you have done. But you are far and away better than me but nothing ventured nothing gained.:hDe:

has any body tried using window weights for cast iron for machining cylinders or other parts:confused:

cool I mite get one for myself I been using an old sears 4" that I have had for 30 plus years.Thm:

I don't know I am new to hobby but to me it looks like a lot of vice I hanging off the mill. It looks like it would ware the shimes on one side more than the other. maybe not just thinking.
