My God John: wanna start easy uh?
Andy done something like this "ventilated" drum (isn't that?) for his 911's boxer. I see well it as a PE origami, but you know guys that I'm PE diseased LOL.

Re: Home Setups
Well that's a fun little shape, isn't it? Looks like you'll need at least a rotary table and a slitting saw. I wouldn't even care to guess accurately how many of those fins there are.
I'll be fascinated to see how you go about it, and/or happy to offer thoughts for how to possibly try it.

Re: Home Setups
I finally got around to clearing the garage out and made myself some workspace. I'm going to mount the grinder on some wood so that I can clamp it in the benchvise which will free me up some more room. The mill is still awaiting a good clean and tear down!

Re: Home Setups
G, I can't think why you would think I'm an Indian fan!
Mike, I've some pics of the Spyder completed in my profile - will try to update it at some point as I've got some frightening build shots with some of the body cut into very small pieces when I was 'correcting' the shape of it. The lathe rebuild was more of a clean-up, regrease and readjust process - I've still not lapped the jibs, though to be honest it doesn't seem to need it. The X2 Mill clean up will be a similar process as a lot of the componants are the same as the lathe. I'll shoot a photo session of the process when I do it. |
