Well I have the bases all machined and last night I finished up making the bending die, follow block and clamping blocks so I could start bending the piping.
Here is how the first one came out. I have 1.099 from the end of the pipe to the centerline. The plans call for .9375 so there is some wiggle room here.
I am going to cut the second leg of the pipe to approx .950. Best I can tell from the plans this end of the pipe should end at the end of the bearing. The dimensions I come up with are .9375 so .950 will give a little wiggle room here.
I should have these finished up this morning and then I will start on the Steam connector. I am using hex and plan to follow what Tim (tin falcon) has done in the past.
