Re: 3/4" Kozo A3a Side Rods Tight
First, Thank You All very much for your suggestions, interest, support, and kind words. With the feedback that was offered, I decided to keep the Side Rods on the side of the chassis that provided the smoothest running. Due to the features on the Side Rods (Pin counterbore and oilers), the side rods...

3/4" Kozo A3a Side Rods Tight
Hello, I have drilled and reamed the holes for the Side Rods on my 3/4" Kozo A3a Switcher that I am constructing. The Side Rods have not been finished yet, but are to the point that I can test fit. The Side Rod bushings are a very close fit to the crank pins. With Side Rod 1 on the left, and Si...

Re: Scale bolts for models
I have used American Model Engineering Supply for both scale fasteners and small taps. The fasteners are available in brass, steel and stainless. The taps are of high quality too.

Re: Spanner Wrench
Craig,
I thought about pinning, but was not sure if the holes would loosen up after some use.

Spanner Wrench
Hello, I decided to build my own spanner wrench after ordering one that was the wrong size. It was a pretty quick project and except for the welding, I am happy with the resulting tool. Here are a couple of 'before and after' MIG welding photos: My intentions were to fill the holes with weld, then f...

Upgrading from G4000 to G4003G, Shop Visit?
I am contemplating upgrading my lathe from a Grizzly G4000 to G4003G. I have motor vibration issues on the G4000, which I could likely fix by replacing with new AC motor, or migrating to 3-PH Motor with VFD controller, etc. But rather than putting more money into the G4000, I am considering it a goo...
