I then was able to use my rotary table for the first time to cut the upper radius on the pillow blocks. I started off by plunge cutting all the way around the radius. Then moved in to the finished size and did a final cut.
Once that was done I cut the excess material off with my vertical band saw. Then I finished the pillow blocks up on my mill using a fixture plate I made when I machined the connecting rod.
The final step will be to polish them to a mirror finish at a later date, and press in the oil lite bushings.
