Another Edwards built.

Crank is done but not good. I had problems with the second chuck on the mill turn and the part was scrap anyway. I did the other step on the dmu 50, went good but the part moved in the chuck...

So, i will have to make some kind of jig or i'll will do it in 2 parts. Making it one part take LOTS of material too...

Did you make it one piece included the counterweight? No wander it took a lot of material.
I just finished mine and I am pleased with the fit of the bearings and the pinion, a precision that I have difficulty achieving reliably.

Yeah, i did it one pièce, too much material to remove.

So, i did the first step of the crank. I tried to do it one shot but i had vibration problems and i was not able to hold the part like i wanted to.

This one is good, i have +0.001" on every diameter, will test fit with bearings as soon as i get them.

I should do the second step and the counter weight today.

CamGear done too. Wire EDM.

Crank assembly.

Colming along well. Not so fast over here though. Made a nice mirror image cam ring. Will be handy if I want the engine to run backward.

No way!! ;-)

It Happen to the best of us!!!

 

[Glorfindel]

Working on the case today. I'll try to make a little video without cooling fluid.

 

[Glorfindel]

Almost done. I have to do the small 0.050" oil hole tomorrow.

 

[Glorfindel]

Almost look like an engine ;-)

 

[petertha]

Coming together beautifully.

 

[Glorfindel]

Did those little button this morning.

I guess i will get used to smalls parts ;-)

On the subject of rockers... some parts are easier to draw that to machine.
I made 12 rockers ganged up side by side. 2 extra because on a part with 27,696 operations, orientations and tool change is easy to screw up at least two.

I'm good at backward making, but then being dyslexic helps, it also makes me crazy when copying numbers~

 

[Glorfindel]

Did the cam housing. I will have to redo it. I did a dumb mistake when i took the G54.
