Squish cutting 2.0

A lot have been asking for squish cutting mandrels, so I came up with this system for cutting the squishband area.
worksaws.com/p...
Large mandrel
worksaws.com/p...
small mandrel
they come with 1 size bore rings, other sizes are ordered separately.

Good job Joe. Tree monkey was ahead of his time for inventing those

[@alanmeyers3957]

Anyone with any mechanical abilities wanting to achieve said operation, could figure this out, I was doing this in the late eighties, why? Because I didn’t have a lathe.

[@JMB676]

Very cool, I enjoy the fact that you have all the equipment to do top notch work but yet you still try to figure out a way to help show other like the “average joe” how to do these machinists only fixes with out all the machines. Thanks for posting. I’m working on making my own way of making my own squish cutter for my cylinders out of old pistons. It’s not as good as your setup but these are tje things I enjoy doing the most. Problem solving on a budget and with only hand tools and my lil rotary tool.

Awesome now you just need a way to cut the base without a lathe for those of us that don't have a machine to cut it with.

[@joehackett9471]

That produced some pretty good results!

[@Leave_Nothing_Stock]

I just saw these on the website last night by chance and was shocked I hadn't seen that before. Now I know why. Wish it would've been before I made a full set of individual mandrels. Maybe I'll get a small one for those odd ball little saws

[@justinweaver8107]

Great tip sir.

[@kbittorf335]

Forgive me if you already know. If you have a surface grinder, grind the bottom of the set screw flat to hold the tool bit. One set screw should really grip that bit then. A trick we used to do at the machine shop.

[@230e4]

Cool Joe! I was just thinking how handy this would be for a 462 cylinder.

[@vascopires2045]

Now you need to come up with a base attachment that has a cutter to cut the base

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

I found how to cut bases by 3D printing an insert and using a router with a flat bit with a bearing to follow the insert. With this tool I could do everything I need to get some very high compression.

[@old509cc2]

Do you have a video on this?

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

@@old509cc2 sorry, I don’t. I got the idea from a forum post that I found and just used a 3D printer to make the insert. It works well if it’s all you can do but I wouldn’t recommend it if you can cut the base any other way because it’s pretty dangerous having your hand that close to a fully exposed router bit.

[@cajun3197]

I made some stop rings for Aaron and John bob. They seem to be working nice for them.

I need a couple mandrels made. I want to cut the squish band but id also like to be able to cut it at an angle so i could cut dome pistons to match. Can you make this for me?

[@novicelumberjack]

First comment! Yay!

[@jaredhoath3151]

Itd be sweet to make tight fitting sleeves for cylinders so a guy could chuck that up in the lathe and cut base with it to so ya wouldn't need dedicated Mandrels for each cylinder

[@dynojoemods2764]

Might be able to wrap with paper to hold well enough.

[@jackpinesavageadventures3142]

WOW !!! 👏👍🏻

[@richarddodds9326]

Less compression can be room for more fuel / air..

[@cr250gp]

So how do you cut the top of the cylinder after you cut the squish? Seems the piston will hit the ring left? Sweet idea.

[@dynojoemods2764]

The guide rings are slightly undersize. Allowing the cutter to cut over size at the squishband.

[@cr250gp]

@@dynojoemods2764 Next question is I'm assuming that for the smallest cylinder the mandrill just rides on the cylinder. On those unless I'm seeing it wrong. The tool cutter comes out to the edge of the mandrill but there is no slop on that setup to slightly cut the ring of death? Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Next question is how the guys using your slick tool cutting the base without a lathe or mill. Sorry for all the questions. I just like to fully understand something. Thank you Joe. Love your work bro. Peace

Ide take a set joe

[@troy3052]

[@matthewnasci2646]

What is the goal of removing material from the squish band?

[@dynojoemods2764]

To make the combustion chamber smaller, and allow lowering the cylinder for port timing changes.

[@KingCobra_98]

question is how to cut the base without a lathe now..

[@henrykurish9816]

is there a way I can cut the base of my cylinder without a lathe?

[@dynojoemods2764]

The stihl cylinders without an extension can be sanded on a flat plate of glass or filled very carefully taking lots of measurements. But a lathe is generally best

[@Dolmar-Rick]

Interested in this, except the postage to uk on your website seems to be a killer, like $90🫣. I had some parts sent of similar weight from us recently, and it was only $28🤷🏻‍♂️. Also, I'm guessing to do 45mm on the large version. You don't need any spacers, etc?

[@dynojoemods2764]

Send me an email, I may be able to get it down some, but shipping out of the US has been rough lately.

[@kbittorf335]

International shipping from the US has gotten crazy, even to Canada.

[@7eis]

Have a feeling I'd end up with the cylinder in the vice and a drill on the mandrel 😂

[@steppoffaith8426]

Thase spacers non cutting manderal work for cutting the base also.

[@dynojoemods2764]

They are a bit too loose to hold the cylinder. But with enough paitence it could be used to do so.

[@steppoffaith8426]

@@dynojoemods2764 it would be convenient. Just ordered both mandrels and several spacers. It will save lot of time for me. Which I am.stretched.thin now!

Hello Joe What setup would you recommend for 45mm 45.2mm and 48mm cylinder's?

[@dynojoemods2764]

Small would be best if you don't plan to go much larger than 48mm. Could get small 45mm it would work ok for the 45.2 and get the 48mm rings too.

They are listed and have enough material on hand for 6-8 sets. I have the links in the video description. Mandrel + 1 size is the "kit" other size rings sold seperate. Or people with a lathe and material could make the rings too.
