Hi can any one advice is 5/32" copper pipe the correct size to run a stuart Turner s50 from a 501 boiler.

Thanks Paul

Update. I have purchased. A 24lt.9.6cfm.2.5hp compressor .thanks for the advice given by you all.

Paul

Thanks to you all the advice you have given is amazing. I could have made a big mistake. I am now haveing a rethink on the route I am going to take.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Alan and stuart .good point on noise. I did think about the air brush compressors. I had a look at bambi compressors I agree some thing like this is the way to go..thanks again.

Paul

Paul

Thanks.neil. I have a .002" clearance. I was a bit concerned .like you say it's not under a work load.the bore is not as good as I would like still my 1st attempt. The mistake was the side of the boreing tool rubbed slightly. Still see how it goes.i can allways get a cylinder casting from stuart Turner. If I am not happy with it.

Paul

Hi.could any one give me advice on what min and max clearance you would work to between piston and cylinder.on h10.do you have to allow for expansion.

Thanks paul.

Thanks to both of you.for your advice i see in the arc catalogue. There show milling cutters with 6mm shanks.it gets easier with help.not sure about China. I will look into it.

Paul
