For some reason HAMB wont let me upload a .dxf file only a zip version. I can e-mail it direct to you if you want.
Just to let every one know the .dxf file that is posted is not a press fit type of cylinder girdle. This is designed to fit into the top of the...
If installed in equipment double check the firing order as mentioned, distributor rotation, and proper cylinder numbers, I've had forklifts that...
The problem starts with the bodies being wider and slightly longer at the top than at the belt line when you remove material things don't line up...
I picked up the Eastwood one a few years ago, The drums form Amazon fit fine they are slightly larger and come close to rubbing on the guard but...
My guess would be an AC compressor bracket for who knows what.
Here is a screen shot of the .dxf file opened in Sheet Cam[ATTACH]
My plan is to get it tacked in place about .020 above the deck then use a die grinder to V out the weld area jumping around with short welds. 8...
You need a program that can open it. I use Sheet Cam to convert .dxf files to g-code for my plasma table, there are a bunch of free .dxf viewer...
Pretty happy with how this came out, it will need a little cleanup on the block to fit in place as I didn't draw in the lumps on the sides of the...
I want to check the fit when I get home tonight, This is set up to be welded in so not a super tight fit. Send Cut Send looks to be a real good...
After screwing around with the local laser guy since Dec. I saw our fearless leader Ryan posted a article on his other site Garage Journal about...
Not sure but I think Mercruiser accomplished the same thing by cutting a grove in the deck between the cylinders. At least on the block I have has...
Nice how was this done?
Cast these a while back for the Cad 500 going in the Model A [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I bought one a few years back, needed to have a brushed finish in some aluminum signs I was building. Great tool for what its meant for I haven't...
I have a 4' Grizzly finger brake bought used $1,200 it will bend up to 12 ga. however I have never tried full width in that thickness. Sold the...
I tried to cut a 1/4 plate today off my drawing, my plasma did ok on the 1/8" thick stuff but not the 1/4" I know my router would make a nice part...
I'll try to cut on from 1/4" this weekend, I think I still have a piece large enough. My plasma cutter is the small Miller and wont give a clean...
Had some free time yesterday, used Sketch Up to draw a file from measurements. Cut this with plasma to check fit, only 1/8 sheet, need a few minor...
I will have to look at the block I have, wondering if a small shelf could be milled into the edge of the block for the plate to sit on. The lifter...
I have been wanting to try to cut one, I have a CNC table and could either plasma or router one. I think plasma would work with a little clean up...
Used to build corral fencing with oil field pipe and sucker rod, the sucker rod would become magnetized from sliding up and down in the casing, We...
Another thing to keep in mind it's nice to still have a hand feed for doing detail work. Some reduction drives wont allow you to over ride them.
This looks awesome!!
If three phase power is available at a reasonable cost it will open the door to a lot of equipment that can usually be picked up fairly cheep. It...
I moved my guest house (16' x 22') about 8 ' across the back yard with the cheapo Harbor Freight one.
I'm planning on the same tactic, only leaving the crank and flywheel in place. Use a cutoff wheel or sawzall to remove the majority of the...
It seem that most of these fire stories revolve around linseed oil. I go through bags of the white Home Depot rags in the shop, mostly covered in...
Clay oval track & Nipomo is not a Pismo or Santa Barbara as far as destinations go.
Separate names with a comma.
