Cyclinder Liner Machining 2.JPG
6-Dec-2005
An aluminum mandrel was turned on the lathe to be a
tight slip fit for the honed cyclinder liners. Then a hole was drilled
and tapped for 1/4-20 in the to-be cutoff section of the liner to drive
it. Then the outside of the liner was turned for a 0.0015 press fit in
the cyclinder opening. Since the opening was honed parallel, I could be
assured of a good fit as long as the lathe was adjusted to cut a
parallel diameter. Gorden spent quite a bit of time making sure the
tailstock setover was adjusted correctly.
