3 forum posts | Can anyone help me with a link to a video or just advice on how to fabricate the parallel motion links for the Stuart beam engine? How does one shape the part to get the "fishbelly" features. For that matter, how do you machine the basic shaft profile? Thanks in advance for your help, Lee Novice Machinist

![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | Have a read ofmy couple of posts in this thread I would put a very small ctr drill hole in one end of the material then hold in the 4-jaw with tailstock support to first turn a parallel section and then shape as above. when done drill and ream the two holes and finally use filing buttons to round the ends. The holes can be drilled before turning and the button scribed around then that line acts as a guide where to stop turning. Edited By JasonB on 11/04/2020 16:55:37 |
