The Smallest Part You Ever Made?

Hi Chuck,
The bore is .299 and the flywheel is .900.
SST, here's a link to my little engine running. [ame]http://youtu.be/tcfrKsOaDNw[/ame] I will post the drawings in the Plans section for anyone interested.

I made 80+ of these high pressure steam valves in one batch.

A single piece crank made from 6mm silver steel (drill rod)

I hope George doesn't mind, but I have collated the separate sheets of his fantastic plans and made it into a single file for easier handling.

I guess the smallest part I have made was the crosshead assembly for the half scale version of Jerry Howells Miser. At the time seemed more like trying to machine aluminum foil !! Great thread though and nice to see all this very small work done so beautifully!!

No problem whatsoever John, thanks.

About 12 years ago our shop made tiny parts and a 5 gallon bucket around 1/3 full had 70,000 parts in it worth $100,000.

If I was the boss we would not run parts like that Run your wire some place else.

That is when you get a screw machine. We did quantities like that all the time for Amp Electronic Connectors. Don't know what the cost was though.

Wow, some great very small stuff in this thread.

Here is the smallest part that I've made so far.
