A hiatus caused by the mill arriving has meant no 10v updates for a while – here a catchup of the little bits I’ve been doing.
Drilled mounting holes for valve chest cover by spotting through from holes in the valve chest:
Obviously, I HAD to use the mill to drill the final holes in the soleplate. Touched off all the sides to find a zero point, then a quick bit of drilling in the relevant co-ordinates. Lovely !
Used the PCD function of the mill to help drill the mounting holes in the standard:
Using the PCD function again to drill the stud mounting holes in the cylinder.
Back to the lathe ! Turning the crank bearing out of the supplied brass section – don’t worry – the part is square – it’s the brass jaw protector that’s making it look cocked !
And we have a bearing ! Took a bit of gentle fitting with a file – but ended up with a pleasingly nice snug fit – needs a bit of a tidy up in the bore.
