    Finally finished

    - Purchased a 4" 4-Jaw Chuck
    - Purchased a 7/8" Drill bit
    - Purchased a 29/32 Chucking Reamer - al liitle larger than the 7/8" drill bit
    - Purchase a 3/4" Drill chuck
    - Had to cut the Reamer form 10" to 8 " so it would fit om my 14" lathe

    finally Completed my cylinders. The engine is complete. I will be putting a video on my forurmrant.com steam engine and I.C site and also some pics and plans on how to make a Boiler.

    Looks great, nice surface finish and crisp corners. The bores look good!

    The problem you may be having with chatter marks on aluminium on the outside balsaman may be that the rake angle on your tool needs to be greater. I use highspeed steel but the rake angle has to be high for aluminium.

    gdl357, could you post the video somewhere else? I'm having difficulty finding your video, not to mention I had to start an account to see the video, and even after registering, I cannot access photos and downloads, nor even post to anything.... Do I have to donate $12 to see the video? I see you are the site admin.
