What's on your bench

That's a nice looking lathe, looks well taken care of!

I think someone before me refurbished it. Or maybe it is just in that good of shape. It was once owned by the US Navy. I keep her well lubed

I'm almost ready to start painting the old beast, currently working on getting as much junk out of tank as possible. Next will be taping off things like the overly complex tank vent, carb, ignition switch, etc.

Xpw nikasil is chipping it may be junk

I have a xpw jug that I think could clean up. Interested?

Didn't read this until this morning so it's too late now, all the grinding is done and the port timing is set. When you say "won't have much comp", how little compression do you mean? I imagine around 160psi should be fine? it seems to pull over with decent compression (by feel) now.

I may order another piston and weld a pop up on if the saw is underwhelming. Or just get another whole top end kit, they are cheap. I don't have a 4 jaw chuck for the lathe so cutting the squish band is out of the question for now.

I read through a bunch of 288 build threads on here before I started to get ideas. Thanks for providing guidance

I'm just trying to help by the way. Since you have a lathe it opens up what you could do when modding a saw. Have you seen the dial indicator holders for the south bend lathes? Instead of using a mag base holder to measure the carriage movement you could have a dedicated holder. I've got one and its great. Also picked up a cross slider holder too. Great poor mans DRO.

I bought all his holders and love them.

Yeah the lathe is a really nice tool. I have a small mill too, but my proficiency on it is very very limited.
I was admiring the indicator holders I may have to make one for the carriage. I don't do much work where I would use one, but probably wouldn't hurt to have.

Almost done with the 066 jug

You’ll have to explain

So, I've made a new fine-adjustable end stop on my chinesium mini hobby bench drill.
Made an extra set of parts to my brother, he's birthday is in a few days - he's 51 years young

Cheers

A friend's cs62 on the bench. Changed over to 3/8 bar/chain/sprocket, and the mixture limiter caps removed. VERY touchy on the low side mix, 1/8 turn makes a big difference. Just shy of 180 psi compression stock.

that saw needs ported. Be a unique bad ass saw. I saw the same saw or a bigger version for sale locally once. Really wanted to pick it up but it was missing too many parts

 

[buttercup]

Well done

Thank you , sir.

Had a little time to start on these.

 

[Yotaismygame]

Just have to match the muffler to the exhaust port and run it.

Well this should give you guys a good laugh.

I decided today to actually start in on my hybrid 372 build, the crank is already installed, well the very first part I go to install (seal on flywheel side) I discover that is the one part I am missing. For some god only knows reason I ordered all the same seals for the PTO side . I put in an order for two of them so now I have to wait until mid next week to try again and figure out what else I forgot .

I got in another OEM P/C kit for the hybrid but I plan to use the farmertec cylinder that I ported first to see how it works out and if I like how it runs I will send the OEM cylinder to Yota and have him take whatever I need off the base and then I will port it.

Yota what did you do to that handle bar?

372xpw is on the bench still but is breathing again, surgery seems to have gone well
