Hello all,
I’m considering the viability of building The Senior (internal combustion) engine, sold as castings by The Engineers’ Emporium.
It’s advertised as being possible to build on a “Myford or similar capacity lathe”, with references to a 3.5” lathe being acceptable.
I have a Myford Super 7 (no milling machine, but a vertical slide) – how realistic is this likely to be?
I think my primary concern would be the main bed casting: the face which mounts to the cylinder, and the main bearing cap ‘flats’. Can these be achieved on a Myford 7?
I’d very much welcome the thoughts of those with experience! Creative set-ups aren’t my forte, but I’m eager to learn
Many thanks,
Bert
