What about using longer (or shorter) lower (or upper) control arms to purposefully induce camber gain to help minimize tire scrub in a lean? As I think of it, I can imagine this may compound the problem, making it worse. 🤔 I really dont know - Just a thought(less) question from a poorly self educated dreamer.

Ok. But I would definitely not rely on the bored hole in the turret and a grub screw to hold the adaptor. I would face the each turret hole and thread. Bore to suit a threaded Chuck with locater spigot. Otherwise this looks ok.

Can a case-hardened workpiece be unhardened? I would think that you could soften it by annealing as if it were carbon steel.

So the involutes are close enough to a circle? Or is that an approximation?
@MetalMachineShop27 күн бұрын
The circle has a slightly tighter curve so there is fractionally more clearance than an involute, but the differences is very small and probably much less than the accuracy achievable on a home workshop set up.

Law’s book does show you everything you need to know to build one of these but there is a lot to be gained by watching someone else do it first. Also interested to see your various shop-made indexing and positioning tooling. Thanks for posting. Subscribed.

That’s a useful project to see demonstrated. I remember the seatpost split clamp that came with my HED R1C carbon frameset (bought 15 years ago) being utterly useless and having to source something else to clamp the seatpost. I wasn’t into machining then so couldn’t make one. The HED made for a very good budget TT frame all the same. More recently, I did make a split (on one side only) clamp to go on my lathe’s tailstock quill for mounting a homemade DRO. It works quite well. However, I cocked up at the first attempt and had to make the thing again; I didn’t drill the hole centrally through the ring thickness. I also discovered I needed a rather long tap to go through both sides of the clamp. On reflection, maybe I could have drilled with the tap drill all the way through, then tapped only the lower half from the outside, then drilled the upper hole larger to give free passage to the cap screw. The voiceover is fine. I would be happy to see it contain even more detail.

I’ve seen a great many KZbin videos on knurling, and several showing attempts at making the Hemingway kit that is the basis of your tool. Sadly, though, when it comes to doing some actual knurling, very few people seem to be able to produce what could be described as a good knurl. It’s very refreshing to see that you’re clearly an exception to this, as the knurls you’ve produced look excellent. I bought the Hemingway kit last year, but I’ve simply not had the chance to make significant progress with it yet. Would you be good enough to answer a few questions? I see you held the axles the knurling wheels turn on in place with hex nuts. I think the kit suggests tapping the relevant side of the slot and screwing the threaded axle end into the tapped hole. Did you use the nuts to provide a more secure fastening? Did you use the 3/16” wide knurls Hemingway suggests? Do you find the Tommy bar gives enough torque to easily tighten the wheels down on to a part? I know this rather short tommy bar is what Hemingway suggests. Are there any other departures you made from the Hemingway instructions? I don’t remember the H shim being in the instructions, though I’ve not got these in front of me at present to check. Anyway, all the best with your channel, and well done for the exemplary demonstration!

There seems to be an error in your spindle attachment design. The two spindle pivot points are parallel to the wheel, this gives your tires scrub while turning. The spindle pivot points should be designed, so that if you draw a line through those two pivot points, that line should bisect the center of the tires contact patch.
@MetalMachineShop3 ай бұрын
@@profesonalantagonist this would be a good point, however, this video is purely talking tilting mech. The steering mechanism is a separate arrangement supported within the uprights that hold the wheels. Part 2 in this series covers this, if I remember correctly, it’s a while since I made these videos. If you want the tilting and steering joints to be combined, e.g. as ball joints, then a slightly different tilting arm geometry is needed. I look at this in a later video. The wooden prototype I made uses this arrangement and there are some videos about this.
@profesonalantagonist3 ай бұрын
@@MetalMachineShop As I watched the rest of your videos, I saw where you put the angle in your separate spindle . I skimmed over the rest of your videos, so I assume you had accounted for that when you made the spindle into the one part. I did speak before I saw the whole thing, and clearly you did take all of the parameters into account. This is a very cool build by the way!

@@Pushyhog sorry I’ve had to put the project on a bit of a pause due to other things and work getting in the way. I have been working on the design for a new version which I think will be more practical and user-friendly, so hope to get started on this as time allows. I’m thinking it will be half way between a faired velomobile and unfaired trike. So with a partial fairing/rain cover. I’ve got all the bits from the prototype so hoping to put them to good use soon. If I could retire from work I’d have time for all the stuff I want to do!
