I just got my plans from Jerry Howell to build his side shaft flame licker engine. This will give me a chance to play with my Taig cnc mill. I need more practice on it! Here is a picture of Jerry's side shaft flame licker.

Nice! I hope to have my mill done this month, I'd like to make one of those myself.
All polished and ready to make more parts.

CNCadmin,
This still a learning for me! Still learning cad but getting there. It is finally getting easier! The great part about this is the accracy of this little mill is GREAT! The small holes in the frame are for bearings and they just press fit in there nicely! I couldnt have done that by hand. If I want a .071 hole I now can cut it perfect! I dont have any backlash at all right now!

Nice finish on those parts, keep 'em coming.
Finished cutting out the base today before work. still need to do more sanding and polishing. I need to drill holes in it too, for the uprights. Boy you really cant beat a cnc machine.
