More uses than Expected for a Rear Mounted lathe Chuck.
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.14 дней назад
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.
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.Месяц назад
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.

      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.
