Building this project is going to allow me to also build some of the tools and fixtures that I have wanted build build but haven’t gotten around to.
The next part of the steam engine that I’m going to machine is the cylinder. There is a portion of the machining that will require a lot of the material to stick out from the side of the milling machine vice.
This gave me the perfect opportunity to make a set of Machinist Jacks.
They are nothing fancy. But they should work just fine.
I would like to build a nicer set someday. Does anyone happen to have a set of plans for a nice set of machinist jacks?
