Engine stuff

Model IC Engines. We have Petrol Engine Plans, Diesel Engine Plans and Alcohol or Glow Engines Plans - along with a selection of CO2 and Gas powered engines Due to the large amount of free engine plans available from John-Tom.com, we have opened a separate page for IC Engines.

All plans are free to download - please ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat reader - you will need version 9 to read some of the files on this page. Making Wormgears. By Jim Sapp Worms have Wheels?

Making Wormgears

Worm gears and worm wheels are the system of choice for producing the highest amount of motor speed reduction in a single step. A single-lead worm and a 100 tooth wheel, in one easy step, will take a 100 rpm low-torque motor's output and give you 1 rpm with 100 times the torque (roughly). By simply putting two of these gear sets in series, you get a 10,000:1 speed reduction, and the ability to drive, say, an enormous telescope with a ridiculously tiny motor.

The worm gear itself is simply a screw, captured in place and running in bearings, that accepts the input motion. Home Model Engine Machinist.

These bits will become a permanant part of my arsenal of cutting bits. Here is the last bit that had to be made... a Horizontal Shear Bit Flycutter. This bit uses the same idea as the vertical shear bit except it runs horizontal. MetalworkingFun Forum. Sch league meal2014. Super suppliers.

Never mind, I have no immediate need to tilt the head and maybe never will. I used a 12v 1A mains power adaptor from an old Netgear wireless router with the jack cut off. Then its just a simple matter of connecting all the reds on the LED arrays to the + lead on the PSU and all the black leads to the negative. Only thing to watch out for is (and Bazyle reported the same fault) - one of my arrays had been assembled with the black and red wire round the wrong way. By the way, if you want to see some of the worse possible surface mount placing ever just buy some of these. Still and all, they are so cheap and the main thing is, they do the job.

Unlike simple tools such as screwdrivers, hammers and wrenches that don't need routine attention, virtually all machine tools have loads of controls and adjustments that affect their performance. Advanced Tool Sharpening. Many people create HSS lathe tools using nothing more than a bench grinder and get perfectly acceptable, if not downright excellent, results.

For most normal sized projects with moderate tolerances that may be all you'll ever need. As tolerances get tighter, or improved surface finishes are required for decreasing part sizes, better tools are needed. You can't shave tenths and simultaneously get a great finish with a dull tool. My goal is to show you some practical techniques that can quickly be applied to improve the edge quality of your tools. The Taig Lathe and Milling Machine. Machining. Forum Topics - Model Engineer. Rotary Table. My first automation project was to add a stepper motor to my Vertex 8" rotary table. A photo of the rotary table is shown below... The table can be used horizontally as shown in the photo to cut circles and arcs, or it can be placed on it side to index a part, for example, cut the hex flats on a screw head. The hole in the center is an MT3 taper which is the same as my lathe.

The handle turns a worm gear that rotates the table. It has a 90:1 ratio, meaning it takes 90 turns of the handle to rotate the table 360° . The Metalworks Workshop. In this section I am including a large number of designs for workshop equipment that I have had published in the Model Engineers’ Workshop magazine over the twenty years that I had been writing for it. In addition to the workshop items, many of my articles on workshop processes are also included. The additions are an ongoing project and new pages are still being added. All the necessary drawings are included together with details of the manufacturing methods. Further pages includes workshop tips, workshop data such as drill sizes for tapping and the gallery showing a few of the items I have made. Also included are details of the eight metalworking books I have written and are published in the Workshop Practice Series, four of which are now being published in the US by Fox Chapel Publishing.

WEW 4 Cycle Gas Engine. Introduction / Background: I am a mechanical designer / 3D CAD operator by trade and used to design parts and assemblies for a shop ran by some of the nation's best machinists and metalworkers. Since I'm generally a hands-on, do-it-yourselfer, gear-head kinda guy, I've always wanted to try my hand at metalworking, and more specifically, the building of model internal combustion engines. Vertical Shear Bit. * GadgetBuilder.com * Last Modified: 12 March 2014 Click to Enlarge The "vertical shear bit" is an adaptation of a finishing bit used on shapers as described by Moltrecht ppg 13-15. The idea is to use a cutting edge nearly parallel to the direction of motion so it slices across the work at a narrow angle, a shearing/slicing type cut.
