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.

MODEL ENGINE BUILDER MAGAZINE Hard copies of issues 1 thru 27 Excellent condition $135.00 Please note that these can not be shipped. I can travel in a 50 mile radius of Grants Pass, OR if needed.

Hello, I am hoping someone in the manufacturing industry has been presented with this problem before and can help me with the answer. On a manual lathe above center will be in an upward direction from the spindle center-line and below center will be in a downward direction from the spindle...

Hello, I have wanted to help with tips/machining methods in this forum but so far I have not been able too. This idea is something I have used in the past and just wanted to pass it along. This is geared more for the person who is just starting out in model making. I hope this is not too...

Hello, On one of my Sherline Mills I have noticed that it can get out of square at times so this is something that I check frequently. This is a Model 2000 mill. (the 8 directional mill) I find that I don’t really have any problem with the X alignment but the Y can move at times. I have been...

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...

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...

Hello, In the past, I have needed a larger vise for my Sherline mill and with a new project coming up I thought this would be the time to start. First, the parts that I will be working on are 5.00 x 3.125 x .625. The operations will be to mill the length (5.00), and a T-slot toward one side...

Hello, I have a question about a D bit fixture but first a little background if I may. I have not yet made or used a D Bit. Actually the more I check into this the more I am confused so I figured I had just better jump in and find out for myself. I understand that a D bit is not that...

Hello, I was designing an engine to possibly build after looking at Elmer’s “Opposed Piston Steam Engine”, but I have a problem. If the model is rotated CW, the left piston with the upper crank throw leaves the cylinder .035 before the right cylinder. If the model is rotated CCW, the right...

Hello, I would appreciate any opinions/comments on an engine design that I have in mind please. The engine in question is an opposed two cylinder that will run on compressed air. This will not have a lot of run time normally, just run occasionally to show the concept works. I would like to have...

Hello, I have a project that requires a lot of small radius and a few concave surfaces. I found this type of turner on the internet and thought I would be the easiest for me to modify for my equipment. I have designed this to work on a Sherline and I only have .9371 from my cross slide to my...

Not sure where to post this, hope this is OK. I joined a while back and am just now posting for the first time. I have learned a great deal from this forum and I look forward to visiting every day. Recovering from a long illness I now have a little time on my hands and am starting to work on...
