Hello Steve, did you make the Stuart steam hammer , how did you get on with it ?

I am about to start one,

Richard.

Does anyone know the maximum size of end mill the "Stent " will sharpen ?

Diameter and length

here's some more views, I've found this fixture plate far more useful than the slots, which never seem to match up with anything you need to clamp to it.

Fabio, whatever angle plate you buy, consider fitting a fixture plate with threaded holes like this, It makes it far more usable,

Has anyone got any details regarding the gears on the RLE engine, OD , tooth count, DP etc,

I have a set of drawings, but the details of the gears is well faded and unreadable,

Richard.

Just found someone on Youtube building a geared rotary table from scrap , 3 Videos , his name is "Jeremy makes things" , films are called "rotary table from scrap"

Richard.

I have just aquired a set of castings to build the "Bamford tulip top engine", almost identical to the engine that Ronnie Bickerton built a few years ago,

Is Ronnie still about ?

Unfortunately I have no drawings , so any dimentions would be very helpful, like bore and stroke, cam gear dimentions etc, all I know is the flywheels are 8" diameter,

Any help would be well received,

Thanks,

Richard.

Here are some pictures of an adjustable angle plate I recently made from castings, 7" x 5", increased to 8" x 6" using a threaded fixture plate 5/16 UNC threads, To be used on a Tom Senior mill,

Castings were mainly machined on the Edjwick shaper.

The Klopp shaper is now sold

I've got a Klopp 34" shaper made in Germany, I would like to swap it for an open crank oil engine possibly 5 horse power or larger, what have you got ? anything consisered , e-mail me on, [email protected]

BUMP...............................

Any more suggestions ?

Does anyone know the correct v-belt size as used in the "S" type Turret head , fitted to the Tom Senior M1 mill, It's an "M" or "Z" section belt, but I'm not sure of the proper length.

Thanks,

Richard.

I like the idea of using two 90degree angle plates bolted together, this would give probably an unlimited combination of angles, also would be more rigid and not inclined to move during machining operations.

Does anyone know of a supplier of a good quality (not imported) adjustable angle plate, about 6" x 4" ish, for use on a Tom Senior mill,

All I can seem to find are imported ones of varying quality,

Just seen this on Ebay , someone could use it to make a Stuart 10 v , or perhaps a clock ? Ebay No. 274503558767

Does the "Steam engines for sale" website still exist ?

It had models, parts , castings, tools etc,

It seems to have disappeared.

Can anyone give me the overall dimentions of the R&B gas engine ? length , width etc, Has anyone built it with twin 12" flywheels , what about making it hopper cooled ?

Richard.

Hello Alain, It would be nice to see some pictures of the rotary table you made,

Richard.
