Re: Should I grab this shaper?
See "This Old Tony" on youtube for uses. How many broaches can you buy for 500? Can you say dove tails, crosshead? Interesting that a shaper is considered obsolete yet you are modeling a machine who many think it is obsolete. There is a quote about shapers "what can you make with a sh...

Re: Milling s part for PRR K-4 4-6-2-Heindenhain
Thanks Bill
I'm sure your stuff is way over my head, its hard enough with the 3 axes, I'd like to hook up the 4th ax at some point. No matter how you spell the beer in German or American I can barely write a good program as it is without the beir!

Re: Milling s part for PRR K-4 4-6-2-Heindenhain
Thanks Bill ! You do me a great honor. 4 years ago I bought one of 3 Shizuoka machines being offered on ebay the others had Bandit Controllers. Because of your praise of Heindenhain and also talking to the guys at Heindenhain, I found out that the TNC310 was still one of the older controllers being ...

Re: Milling s part for PRR K-4 4-6-2-Heindenhain
I assume you meant milling out ??, at first I thought this was some new slang the kids use:} Yes I was milling the exhaust passage way for the steam chest cylinder valve. The rest of the pieces I received already machined. The original creator did a great job on the rest of the steam chest you saw b...

Milling s part for PRR K-4 4-6-2-Heindenhain

Re: reversing lever notch spacing
Steve You say your working on Baker valve gear, well my hat is off to you because baker is usually found on the later steam engines like Berks and such, it is considered better than Walschaert by many. Looking in my favorite book again, I find its explanation about lap and lead is better under the B...

Re: reversing lever notch spacing

H Series GN 4-6-2 Valve cage Blue Print
Since I joined the Chaski I've been trying to think of a way to at least contribute something, other than my opinion. So my building of a PRR K4 is slow and not much to show. But going through some blue prints that have been stored in a attic. I finally have an area to really look at them. A flat be...
