Carbide Tips (Part 3) in use in the workshop
Finally the reason for the large diameter bar above, was to start to make the eccentric sleeve. As a way of demonstrating a reasonable cut on a small lathe, with positive rake cutters and slow feed. The Lathe is an Atlas 10F with I believe a 3/4 hp single phase Motor. The eccentrics are to follow after a weekend break in Blackpool !!
Eccentrics started just required finishing and a grub screw to lock, the collar just requiring the curvature machining for the governor drive belt.
Well a short one this month, and another day off at the end of the week to drive a narrow gauge engine on a pig farm! Next month continuing with these parts and perhaps starting the eccentrics outers made from bronze castings.
Until next month stay safe; make swarf; have fun!
