The bearing housing sits at the front of the engine and contains the first bearing that supports the crank shaft and the propeller.<\/p>\n

The front of the housing has a 3\/4 inch radius. \u00a0I felt that is a bit big for a form tool so decided to cut this “old school”.<\/p>\n

The initial radius was formed with a rough step cut using a X\/Z feed chart that I first created in Excel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe rough steps were covered\u00a0in layout fluid making sure to get the fluid into the base of each step as this is the reference line for the completed radius.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a file on a slowly turning lathe, the steps are smoothed and the shape refined.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once all the blue between two steps disappears , that point of the profile is at the correct depth. \u00a0Working steadily, the entire radius is refined.<\/p>\n

I’m happy with the way the completed radius turned out in the image above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
