Thread: ME Beam engine flywheel
10/01/2023 12:16:58

Hi chaps,

thanks for all the valuable input so far. The flywheel arrived today and whilst centering it up to bore the hub wouldn’t be a problem the rim will definitely need turning as It’s got a couple of very high spots and there’s a casting number that sits proud on one edge.
I’m going to set it to one side for the time being as there’s a hundred and one other things to be getting on with. I’m going to see where my nearest club is and maybe go down that road.

thanks again

Hi guys

thanks for the feedback so far in answer to your questions I’ve only got one of those small 7”x14” Chinese lathes and while after some fettling and adjustments it has so far been adequate there’s no way a 9” flywheel is going to fit. I have an Axminster tools SX1 milling machine so will look at HowardTs suggestion and see what I can come up with.

I live close to Romford in Essex btw

thanks once again for the ideas.

Hi everyone,

first time posting so be gentle with me. I’ve recently aquired a part built ME Beam engine, among other things it was missing the flywheel which I’ve ordered from Reeves but it’ll be too big to turn in my lathe. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find someone with a big enough lathe who would machine it up for me?

thanks
