Profiling the rods with the blank screwed on a scrap piece of steel.
The profiled rods caps and mountiing block
The caps super glued to the rods to enable the rods to be drilled and tapped 3mm.
Tapping the rods
The rods bolted together to enable the big ends to be pocketed. Note the jig used to hold the rods.The small end has been reamed 6mm to fit on a 6mm dowell, the big end cap is held in a small Starrett vice which is screwed in a slot in the plate to enable the rods to be accurately aligned.
This rod has been bored.
Using the same jig the rods have been tapered and fluted
The same jig mounted on the face plate will be used to centrifically cast the white metal for the big end bearing. The final boring of the bearing will be turned on this jig.
