Main Rod 7
2-May-2006
Now that the inside and outside surfaces have been
machined, I took the peice to Gordon's shop to use the horzontal mill
to cut the thinned part on the rod, and the center flute. I clamped the
ends to the table, and blocked the middle. There was still some
vibration, so I had to clamp the bar down in several places, moving the
clamp along as the machining progressed.
Now I cutting the flute down the middle.
