awesome :bow:

MatiR, at what point in the machining of the rods did you mill the .251 / .254 slot in the fork rod ? before or after milling the piston end to thickness ?

All the talk on the other post inspired me to start on the connecting rods. I think right now I have more time in the fixture and tooling than the parts Milling a rod: Before and after: Now on to mill the radii on each end.

Dave, thanks, I made a 12 mm one today. drilled 15/32" then reamed hole in the mill. holed ended up at .472" I am pleased.

Dave, At 1/2" how much under did you make the hole ?

is there a limit as to how big this method will work ?

I scored a set of Yankee Reamers 1/16" to 1/2" by 1/32" brand new on ebay for cheap ! I also ordered the import over under set Enco has on sale. Hopefully that will hold me over for a few days !

How about a photo of your fixture ? I have been kicking around fixture ideas for a week

I thought I was the only who did that

There are a lot of reamers on ebay, either import or new, but I have found ENCO has better pricing.

I want to buy some fractional chucking reamers. Where can i buy good quality in a hobby budget ? I checked ebay, no real deals there. Are there any "good" imports ?

some more work on my Hoglet. I cant seem to work up the nerve to start on the conn rods, so I have been making simpler parts

great job ! Thm: I have Elmers book, but never built one

that dividing head was a HSM project in the late 80's by Phil Duclos. I think it is in one of the project books but I am not positive.
