Guess I'm a couple years behind but I'm really enjoying the series and thinking I need to put a set of these castings on my Christmas list. Thanks for the high quality videos. I see the Cingular shirt. I'm an AT&T employee up in NJ.
Thoroughly enjoying the whole series as I machine my 10V. Just a thought. I marked my eccentric offset as you did and then as I set it up my 4 jaw I measured with my DTI how much I was offseting my 5/8 rod by as a double check. Worked well. Thanks again. Dave here in New Zealand
Dave, thanks for watching and for taking a moment to comment. Your method of making the eccentric works well. As you found out, there are several ways to set up parts for machining. ~John
That's funny -- when you were "parting" the completed concentric from the piece of stock, I was thinking, "Will that tiny part fall into a basket or be contained somehow?" And in the BLOOPERS at the end of the video I got my answer -- NOPE. Very good videos W5CYF, thank you for your time.
Steven, Thanks for watching and for your comments. Usually I manage to catch the part before it falls, but with the crankshaft hole off-center, I just let this one fall. Hope to meet you on the air someday. 73/John
Hi Tinker John from Devon, England. As a first project I am building a D10 with valve gear and feed pump. I chose this because I already had the book on the V10 and I was able to buy the castings direct from Stuart Models when I passed by in the summer (they are just along the coast). I then came across your videos purely by chance having already seen Tudor Barker's photo spread on the build. If you don't know of it go to tudedude.co.uk Thank you very much for taking all the time to post up your series.
I hate changing chucks so I find that once I'm forced to change to the 4 jaw it stays on and I just deal with it until the next time I need to turn some hex bar then I'm forced to change back... I think it's just because I'm lazy.
Hi John, I am just about to start building the twin cylinder version of the 10v so I have found you videos inspirational. I would like to have more detail on the tool you used in this video to get the concentric in line. Can you help? Paul
Paul Gardner Paul, Thanks for following along and for your comment. It's pretty hot in Texas right now and shop time is limited, however I'll try to get a video up showing the setup. ~John
I'm not sure of the exact term used for the rod, I made it several years ago. Here is a link to something similar but without the spring: www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?topic=6379.0 I made mine in two pieces and put a spring in. Not sure if spring is required. Hope this helps. ~John

Great tip on centering a round part in the vice. Thanks
David,
Thanks for watching and for your comment.

15:30...Awesome way to find the center!
Thanks for following along. ~John
nicely turned out eccentric I will try that way next time I make one
HFDX1 Thanks for watching and for your comment. Hope to get back in the shop soon. ~John

I learned a lot from this video. Before watching i would not have known how to make an eccentric. Thanks. R.O.G.
R.O.G,
As always, thanks for watching and for your comments.

What's the rod called that you used in this part to center the eccentric.

Thanks John, that gives me some ideas!
ah, part 12.
Frank,
Yes, it's #12...things got a little out of sequence on my side. :)
John
lol measure twice and cut once
That's a crankshaft the wrong size, and the eccentrice the wrong size too.
