So, I was given a lathe that had electrical problems.
I sorted those problems, and I am now looking for some simple projects so I can learn the machine. My first thought is to turn some clutch pulleys out of brass. Do you have other suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Ya gotta appreciate the massive workload to achieve these works of machining art. (edit:01/06/16) http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/dahlberg.htm Mindboggling,dedication,talent,perseverance,skill... I happen to have made a plastic model of this car along with a Stutz Bearcat in the early '60s. Why I like it,the time and talent as applied to machine sculpture,as you would a fine Swiss watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoDFV_-FPrc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08Rfvu7k2nI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L4Hj85Kb5o ( You may find this illuminating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) " Here we show that a dense uniform dispersion of silicon carbide nanoparticles (14 per cent by volume) in magnesium can be achieved through a nanoparticle self-stabilization mechanism in molten metal. An enhancement of strength, stiffness, plasticity and high-temperature stability is simultaneously achieved, delivering a higher specific yield strength and higher specific modulus than almost all structural metals."....wow! I've worked with some amazing hitemp alloys,if they are referring to the top 3%,we have a new paradigm of power to weight across all applications. Magnesium-SiliconCarbide Composite(MgSiC) conrods,pistons,valvegear,chassis. Big changes coming.Wow. http://gizmodo.com/new-magnesium-composite...h-to-1749578336 http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v528/...ature16445.html ) / (edit:2/22/16) Think of an engine block with cylinder bores of < 3mm wall thickness,an engine of half the weight. Pistons weights allowing high rpm use,the temp stability to allow much higher velocities. Who will be the first to offer a superleggara boxer engine for a ridiculously exorbitant price? A 40 Kg advantage will eventually find it's way to a 914 engine bay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) / |
