More uses than Expected for a Rear Mounted lathe Chuck.
Переглядів 4,9 тис.21 день тому
Thank you for the suggestions from viewers on further uses of this idea. I use it all the time now. As well as extra support it can give extra grip too. Axminster CO Lathe: www.axminstertools.com/axminster-model-engineer-series-c0-micro-lathe-505100?tagrid=56519888

Piston/Cylinder O Ring Fit for a Smooth Running Model Steam Engine.
Переглядів 3,9 тис.2 місяці тому
Free engine plans at myfordboy.blogspot.com I belive the secret for a smooth runner is a good piston to cylinder O ring fit. If the fit is too tight the engine may run perfectly well on compressed air but not on steam. Here I show my method. The piston is slightly undersize and does not touch the cylinder walls.

Переглядів 7 тис.5 місяців тому
I designed and built this engine to replace the single acting Mamod one on Traction engine and steam rollers. It puts the cylinder inboard in a more realist position. I don't have a Mamod engine but am now building my own version as the engine runs so well. Big thanks to Retro SteamTech channel for giving me some dimentions of a Mamod roller.

      Yup. Learned that after buying the cheapest butane refill bottles I could get. They tend to gum up my lighters parts. The more expensive butane is filtered, resulting in less gummy impurities and a cleaner burn.

      You could try some. Add water to dry sand with a spray until it will hold it's shape when squezed in your hand but does not stick to it. It can take a bit of practice to get the moisture content correct.

      Furnace is working well.Any damage to the refractory can be easily repaired with fire cement. The tongs are really good. I would only use the supplied ones for adding metal to the crucible. Very dangerous gripping crucible with tongs for pouring. No plans to market my tongs.
