Cylinder production for a radial model engine

Post by suntravel »

Nice project for my mill and lathe, 28 cylinders for two 14 cylinder radial model engines.

The tight tolerances (0.01mm) are no problem with Acorn Six and closed loop, even on small Chinese machines.

CAD/CAM with fusion 360, just post and run and the machines are doing the same thing as in fusion simulation.

The tricky part was only to figure out an effective workflow for machines without ATC.

Surface finish from boring is ok for the final honing...
