Machining Cylinders Part 5

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good morning Mr Crispin 🤠 After a long day at work nothing better than one of your videos 🤣 Love the dowel and whole jig 👍🏻

[@rogerdeane3608]

You expertise and methodical accuracy is inspirational.

[@lesliemaloney5459]

great to see you back, building a 5 inch loco myself. Good to see fine craftsmanship being done. Regards Les , Brisbane , Australia.

[@captain34ca]

nice detailed explanations and good camera work, thanks

[@gerilarryogle970]

Great to see you back. Enjoying this series very much in southern California. Larry

[@hankus253]

Thank you MrCrispin, the wait between videos may sometimes be long but well worth it every bit.

[@dailharris6800]

Great to see you back, I rally enjoy your videos,,such attention to fit n finish. What an inspiration

[@byjingobob]

Glad to see you back Mr. Crispin, your videos are a real pleasure to watch.

[@lorenlieder9789]

Great to see you making video again and very nice machine work MrChrispin.

[@63256325N]

Great attention to detail, very impressive. Glad to see you.

[@KnolltopFarms]

Thanks MrCrispin, I really enjoy your style of machining as well as your informative method of commentary. It is an excellent way for me to learn, and Heaven knows I need all the help I can with that. Oh, and not only am I now subscribed, I even remembered to set up the email notifications, so no more missed videos. However, that small oversight has allowed a nice library of videos to build up for me to enjoy in a condensed fashion, and for a Sunday that is ideal. Hours of edutainment on "Cylinder Sunday"! Have a great upcoming week, Aloha...Chuck

[@TheFuneralDirector]

Yet another great video, I hope you and John Mills are going to get some of the Niagara and SECO tooling for your KZbin contributions

[@tonyburndred9828]

Nice to see you back in the shop Crispin, well worth the wait, looking forward to the next video.

[@custardslastcake123]

it's nice to have you back.

[@m3jqf]

Nice work, as always. It's an education to watch you.

[@MarkGarth]

Great to see you back and the project is really taking shape.

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice workmanship!!!!!

[@ChrisB257]

Beautiful dedicated work.That is going to be a super loco. Look fwd to next step.

[@dinxsy8069]

A pleasure to watch as usual, coming along nicely.

[@hakimmic]

Beautiful work . Thanks for the video.

[@radbot1]

Great to have to back. Exceptional workmanship, looking forward to seeing more :)

[@Joshua543215]

Nice project. Pleasure to watch. I'll hold on to your videos :)

[@jmayaa]

Just found your videos...AWESOME!!! I've watched all I can find. Very informative, beautiful workmanship.... Can't wait to see your next video...Keep up the great work...

[@RichardHeadGaming]

Starting to shape up, looks good.

[@phooesnax]

Beautifully executed

[@HotAxleBox]

excellent, will show my friend this series of videos. He built the model LUL C stock that you may have seen at some model railways.

[@harris34567]

Nice to see your new video, excellent work as always.

[@user990077]

Great Video, great editing. Well worth the wait.

[@GaryGrumble]

Glad that you are back!

[@brucejenner5856]

I've read the Model Engineer and I'm sure those old sages did all their tapping with a tapping and staking tool of some sort?

[@keithwhittingham2155]

glad to see you back

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Very fine work!!!

[@bcbloc02]

Do you not have a rotary table? I imagine you have bolt holes to put in each end for the guides and cylinder caps. I also imagine your radius for the outer cylinder contour is concentric with the bore. If you have access to a rotary table looks to me you could save several setups by milling your contours and doing your end bolts in the same setup. Just perhaps a time saving suggestion. :-)

[@daveticehurst4191]

+bcbloc02 To do the external Radii using a rotary table would mean owning a 4 inch long end mill ( or however long the cylinders are ), not only are they expensive but would chatter a lot due to the excessive length and would leave the radius of the cutter where he really wants a sharp corner. The second problem is that Crispin would still have to set it up on a dividing head to Radially mill the insulation slot. When you see the next video, it will be well explained and become obvious as to why it was being Radially Milled. Hope this is of some help to you. I have already done a trial run for him on some scrap material, to prove the setup and sent him photographs.

[@bcbloc02]

Dave Ticehurst Didn't realize the sharp corners were a design feature. Thought these were supposed to imitate castings and you don't normally find sharp corners in castings. They make extended length endmills that are relieved so that they don't rub when cutting at full length and with those you could profile with no chatter, alternatively you can back grind the flutes on a standard endmill and achieve the same thing. For stunt milling you could use a boring bar to cut the insulation slot while set up on the rotary table as well. Lots of ways to do a job and I enjoy seeing how other people do it. Looking forward to the next video.

[@mayhem7090]

nice job! great video.👌

[@colinbagshaw1796]

Hi I have watched your videos with interest, when you are milling, have you tried the ripper cutters for roughing out? They enable me to hack out a 13 mm wide by 10mm deep cut at about the speed you were clocking at. They have saved me hours of metal removal time with so much less stress on the head of the machine, they are about 8 quid on eBay.

[@donotwantahandle1111]

Thanks MrCrispin for your detailed video. Are the cylinders and pistons/valves all steel and what would stop them rusting together between running days?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Hi, it will be a mixture of steel, cast iron and maybe bronze. You pretty much rely on the seam oil to keep everything protected.

[@rogercrier]

Is that vies a home built one, or built from plans?

[@theonlybuzz1969]

Mr Crispin, you mentioned David Tighthurst? In this episode and he worked in the Phillips tool room, was that the on at Simonstone near to the M65 motorway? I am sure it’s the same guy 6’6” long dark hair, I am going back to err 1996 ish? Loving o coming along very nicely there sir....Phil

[@stephenmetsch6316]

Welcome back. I missed you.

[@markgould851]

Crispin, where did you get those little angle plates? They are very nice indeed. Lying in the box behind the work at the 5 minute mark.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

They are called 'Z squares' Stan Zinkoyski at. Bar Z Industrial makes them.

[@matthewfarrell317]

Hey, wanted to say, just watched nearly all your videos, amazing work. I have always wanted to try something like this, I noticed your plans are already converted for the scale you are using. I can get access to different VR plans, can they be converted easily from full scale to model scale? If so how would one do it if you know?

[@granskare]

I have a friend in France who is restoring a Traction Avant and when he speeds up the film, he writes on the video, "vitesse x5 depending on the speed he has chosen...I think I am learning some terms such as 'datum' :) chuck

[@robw53]

Brilliant! Where did you get the vice from.

[@daveticehurst4191]

+Steam Train Builder I asked Crispin that several weeks ago. He came back with the answer CHINA, but was unable to find the catalogue with the Company address on. I did a China Ali barba search, it came up with several suppliers. I picked one at random and got a quote from the Company, for a 6 inch wide one it was 130 US Dollars BUT the postage was 150 US Dollars !!!!!! by DHL. Very quick delivery about 5 days from ordering . That was to Australia, postage to UK would be very Similar. I hunted E-Bay and other UK suppliers for a 6 inch wide vice, most only sold 3 or 4 inch. If Crispin does not answer you, I will badger him to try and find the Company name, and get back to you.

[@robw53]

+Dave Ticehurst the biggest vice I have found is a 120mm wide one from Arc Euro Trade for £129. I can't quite make out what size Crispins is.

[@daveticehurst4191]

+Steam Train Builder Hi there, quick reply. I have just gone back through all my e-mails to and from Crispin and he told me in one of them. "The vise measures as follows 150mm jaw opening, 120mm jaw width, 40mm jaw depth, it came direct from China and I think that it cost me £ 120".

[@robw53]

+Dave Ticehurst FYI that spec matches what Arc supply.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

+Steam Train Builder +Dave Ticehurst Hi both, Ive been back through the archives and here it is - www.zhengzhoutools.com/

[@mparkerlisberg]

No bench block for use as a taping guide the ensure the tapped thread is perpendicular, I thought every apprentice made one. Malcolm

[@crookedriver2079]

his machining skills and his model engineering videos will ALWAYS be better than yours ..... THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A WHILE....matter of fact: _where are your machining videos, anyway_ ?????

[@steveleith7932]

Excellent work and video. I was wondering if you have to take precautions with corrosion control on the locomotive chassis? Will you paint the chassis early on in the build or is that left for near the end of the build? Thanks for sharing this.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

+Steve Leith Hi, So far so good rust wise. I keep it in the house. I am planning on painting everything at the end. Cheers

[@madguernseyboy]

Can you link us the maker of you colin vice stop?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

I've just had a look and I can't seem to find his channel anymore. He is called Colin Chipett from memory.

[@328DaveGTS]

Thank you so much hope to see more ....

[@mog5858]

[@68sweetnovember]

excellent

[@tombellus8986]

Good work thanks for sharing

[@kevinl5878]

Thank you great work

[@justtim9767]

Glad to see you back sir. I'm amazed at how thin the frame rails appear, do you have any concern about possible flexing. Tim

[@EvanDavisTheOne]

At 13:50 you mention " Interesting camera effect " The effect you are talking about is called " wagon wheel effect "

[@granskare]

the bricks look rather old, maybe Victorian?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

They are indeed. Thanks for the comments.

[@granskare]

I have subscribed t hanks to my son w ho follows your channel. chuck

[@BisonWorkshop]

welcome back

[@granskare]

i was looking for something on google and there I saw your very foto which you use here as your avatar :)

[@steamsearcher]

Make or get a tapping machine! Or fit it under a drill press with a sliding holder!!!
