Deanofid, jimmybondi, steamer,
How rude am I? Thanks guys for your continued suport. I've been out of the shop awhile now (had to do play house things). But I'm dying to get back to it! Tonight I'm going on a tour of the local power plant with my metal working club...so....tomorrow it will start again!

Hi All,
Well after doing the play house thing my right knee went on the fritz. It was scoped about 4 years ago for a torn meniscus (I'm sure I didn't spell that right). Played a lot of football in my younger day. But I back. Didn't do to much today except clean and oil the machines and a little setup.
This will be my 3rd oil pan. The angle of the front and rear cut is killing me. I took an angle measure off the print and it seamed to come up around 15 deg. NOT. So before I waste more time and have another break out I will do another No. 3. At this rate I'll be 200 years old before I finish :big:
I went to the yahoo site for this engine and there is a pic of the mag cover of EW's engine and it looks almost square. Soooo I will cut the angle to 3 deg. and play it safe.

Here is what I did tonight (after watching the tree lighting ceremony at Rock Center with the wifee)
Swept up a bit.....can't believe that much swarf from the little parts (by the way, what dose swarf stand for?)
The set up......Again
To much angle again this was the second attempt
Well, that's it, tomorrow it begins again!

Hey Tony,
You might want to lay that part out ( draw it out) to confirm the angle if the drawing is not accurate.....I feel for ya.
You know for spending as many years playing with machine tools ...use and design, you'd think I would have heard of the definition of swarf....Knowing as many Norwegian machinists that I did, no one has ever offered a definition....it's always just "been"....Thanks for that Peter!

first, many compliments Tony :bow: :bow: :bow:
you're doing a great job here
but please, may you explain why that angle is so important?
because if you made that part for the 3rd time, it must be critical
in my ignorance, it seems to me only an aesthetic affair, that doesn't influence the functionality of the part
what am I missing?

Ariz,
If you look back some posts you'll see that when I cut out the inside I broke a hole in the bottom. The second one I had the great idea of using my DRO and touched off on the hi zeroed and low spots and adjusted the angle till I got the .125 dim,. Perfect right......wrong.
This one I'm cutting the angle way down (3 deg was ~10 I forget) because you are right it is just an aesthetic thing.
Thanks for the kind words
Tony

Thanks kvom.
No Captions tonight. I'm sure it will all make sense
Here I touch off on Z and zeroed the DRO (not you zee :big
