    Posting Rules Question

    I am struggling with poor vision right now and I have not been able to find an answer to my question. Is this only for small engine/tools/books, or can members post other items? Specifically RC related. Thank you.

    Dake Steam Engine in 3D by Ernie Daniel

    A little late, but I thought I would answer this question. This project was started 6 to 7 years ago and was going to be presented in a magazine. I do not remember why, but the drawings did not make it to publication. I worked with the gentleman who had the original engine/model engine to...

    3D CAD and Model Engineering

    Hello, First, I am an Alibre fan and support the software whenever I can. I have used other software and my best experiences has, so far, been with Alibre. I started a project in the early 90's designing a one-third scale working model of a 1937 Norton motorcycle. The design was first...

    Expanding Arbor Question

    Thanks again for all the suggestions. Looking at this design I can see where if it was not made right it could throw off the part. I do not know how critical the actual machining is or if I just got lucky. Anyway, I just thought I would show what I was trying to do. The pulley had to be...

    Expanding Arbor Question

    Thank you to all who replied. After reading the above replies I did the following: 1. Changed the slope to 10 degrees 2. Cut all 10 degree slopes in one setting (so they would match up) 3. Extended the collet area to approx 1 inch (I knew this but was not thinking as is should when I drew this...

    Expanding Arbor Question

    Hello, I am trying to help a friend who’s boss gave him a “little work at home”. I cannot be too specific about the part to be machined except this will be to perform second and third operations on a pulley. All the bores are from .5002 to .5050. I have seen a machinist use a similar expanding...

    My small garage/kitchen shop

    Hello, I only have a small area that I can call my own, so to maximize the space, this is what I came up with. The table and stand-alone stand (with the dial indicators on the bottom shelf) were made up from scrap 2x2’s from a cabinet shop. All of the table/stands are made so that I can move...
