Stellaghost Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Bit of a long afternoon ahead Done some more chain drilling much easier than spending forever with a cutting disc and better for following a profile the long afternoon part putting my radius construct on a diet in the mill regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Started on its twin need to machine shaft on and then Mill it to the same thickness after that I will machine a couple of pins to knock into holes so I can Mill them together and achieve an identical profile regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Doesn't look like a lot of progress but it's taken me ages to get to this point Second one on a diet shaft turned in lathe and then cut into two pins and radius arms pinned together then put in Mill vice and started profiling You can see its starting to take shape ( a long way to go) at least to a position where it can be finished off with flap wheels and discs going down the grades until I achieve the finish I want regards Stephen 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Great stuff Stephen , they look to be a pretty accurate pair . You must have to run to the scrap yard with swarf once a week! just out of interest , is that plate S355 or S275 ? I suspect it won't matter with the level of fabrication going on , just love it Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it won't matter with the level of fabrication going on , just love it Steve Thanks Scrap man is a happy bunny with my deposits at the moment lol I would love to answer your question on the steel as there are no markings on it and sections were cut off a piece that's been laid in our works graveyard for a long time. I do know it has also been used for pressing dies in the big press at work so I would suspect it will be the S355 but the honest answer escapes me regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
