I'm investigating CNC options and have been researching the Milltronics MB line of CNCs. The model I'm interested in is a 98' MB-20. From what I've researched these seem like decent machines. I don't...

Never hurts to try though does it? :D

Thanks for the link, that forum is great. The Google webpage translator does wonders!

Thanks for the info. EngMod looks a step up from the TSR software that I have. Do you have first hand experience using EngMod and would you care to elaborate on it. I've checked out the website...

Yeah, I know the one. The one you're thinking of is "Design and Simulation of Two-Stroke Engines" by Gordon Blair. I've got some programs similar to his that I've been using.

I appreciate the...

I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience designing two-stroke engines? More specifically the cylinder/port configurations. I'm a university student doing a motorcycle and engine design...

Thanks for the info so far. What components should be inspected when looking at used lathes? How much play should I look for/what is acceptable?

I was wondering if any of you can help me in my search for a used manual lathe and mill? I want to use the machines for making motorcycle parts. I don't need anything too big maybe an 11" x 36"...

Thanks for the info. I figured it would cost quite a bit. I guess I'll start saving my pennies. I need to purchase the two donor motors first and model the new cases before I'm ready to have...

You're correct it would be a horizontal split. The engine is only a two cylinder two stroke though. The reed blocks attach to the cylinder so they would not need to be machined into the crankcase.

Yeah, I'm aware that the crankcase is separate from the transmission. The rough dimensions are 12" wide x 12" long x 9" high. There are six bearings for the crankshaft and another four for the...

I'm interested in making some motorcycle crankcases for a two stroke twin cylinder engine with a six speed transmission. Can anyone give me a rough idea of what it would cost to machine them from...
