Hi Guys.
well I've finally bitten the bullet and started building this engine.
this won't be a blow by blow account, rather a show and tell as I (hopefully) finish a part.
It will also take me a fair amount of time as I have to save for the material and tooling required, I've already come to a stop on the head because I need a rotary table and they don't grow on trees.
parts so far, cylinder jacket
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/cylinderjacket.jpg)
crankcase nosepiece.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/bearinghousing.jpg)
part finished head.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/partfinishedhead.jpg)
and crankshaft.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/crankshaft.jpg)
That's it so far.
next is get a square lump of ally for the crankcase.
expensive hobby this, ain't it :(
more to follow soon.
I hope :D
cheers

Good start Roy ,,,,,,,,,,,, :clap: :clap: :clap:
I have that engine on my to build list :thumbup:
Rob

Hi
Roy
The parts you have made are quality stuff :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Thanks for posting
-
Nice looking engine to build. You got a great start on it!
Where do I find the plans?
Eric
-
That's a good, purposeful start Roy! :clap: :clap:
Looking forward to watching steady development...... :thumbup:
David D
-
that looks a good start, Have you got any pictures of the other side of the engine ? also have you drawn the plans or can they be got anywhere ?
Peter
-
Nice start, the plans are a pain to get hold of!! I purchased Malcom Stride's book - Minature Internal Combustion engines which has his NE15s splashed all over it, but no plans!
I believe even the plans in the ME editions stop short of a complete set and now he isn`t around they are no longer for sale.
I stand to be corrected!
Chris
-
Hi
thanks for the kind words.
I'm ( attempting) to build it straight from the plans in M.E.
They appear to go through to the end so I'll have to see what happens.
As for buying the plans, have you seen the price!
I can just about afford the material.
-
Wheeltapper - I haven`t seen the price because I couldn`t find the plans for sale anywhere!
Are you certain the ME articles cover the entire build? I was under the impression they stopped short.
pm to you.
Chris
-
Hi
HS93, I found this pic amongst the plans. its the only good pic of the other side.

Roy.
-
Seem to remember there being an advert in one of the model engineers for the plans. I started buying it again as saw that engine on the cover when it started but I quickly realised it was too complex for me! I think I may still have the odd copies I bought though.
Nice work there Roy. :thumbup:
Nick
-
There are a set of plans and a build book for the Nemett.
I bought a job lot of books a while ago and I reckon there are a couple of each in there, need to check but the boxes are not here at the moment and stored elsewhere.
John S.
-
The build book is based on the engine and like the ME articles does not quite have all the info, I think the cam profile may only be in the plans, possibly Malcoms way of ensuring he sold some sets of drawings.
JS The plans are hard to come by, since his death, you often see wanted adverts for them make sure you price them right.
J
-
By book build, do you mean his book, Minature IC engines?
-
No it's a booklet, A4 sized called Building the Nemmett or something like that, with it not being here I can't be certain but it's certainly not the Miniature IC book, that's on the shelf above me.
The booklet is to go with the plans and cover the various operations, should be able to get it mid week.
Jason what sort of price are they fetching ?
John S.
-
Wow!! I never realised it had a build book, that is amazing! It is a real shame it isn`t for sale anymore.

If it is for sale any chance of first offer.
Peter
-
Peter,
Certainly, I'm not sure just what is in the box but I think there are about 3 sets, never actually looked all the way thru the box, just bought a big stack of books and magazines off a guy who was retiring and selling up.
As I say the box is in storage so need to go over and fetch it then sort it possibly mid week to later.
John S.
-
I`d also be interested in purchasing a copy John, I have the book mininature IC engines and also a set of plans for the NE15s but would like the book to go with them all.
Chris
-
The drawings were a bit pricy when they were available at £45 a set, that would be a good starting price to be looking for.
I wonder if the booklet is infact copies of the ME articles.
J
-
Dunno ?
What year / issues was Nemett in, might have them here.
John S.
-
Hi all.
John, the parts I copied from the mags run from april 13 2006 to 20 dec 2006 if thats any help.
I can look up the issue No's if you want.
I've finished the crankshaft now, here's a couple of pics.
crankshaft with bearings.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/crankshaftwithbearings.jpg)
and assembled in the nosepiece.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/crankshaftassembled.jpg)
I'll try to get the material for the crankcase tomorrow.
thanks for looking.
Roy
-
Thanks Roy for the dates but i don't think I have anything that late.
John S.
-
OK been and collected two boxes of books, there were four boxes but two are still hiding so not sure what is in those as they were never undone.
So at the moment I have 5 books and 6 sets of plans all brand new except that one book has all the material sizes highlighted in highlighter pen.
One thing that puzzles me is all the drawings are clearly marked Nemett 15S - 15cc SOHC Four Stroke Engine, sheets 1 to 15.
However the book clearly states "Constructing the Lynx"
"Note: This is designed to accompany the full A3 engine drawings. It does not contain any drawings. "
So is the Lynx and the Nemett the same engine ? Looks to me as it is because I can't see any differences but it would be nice to know.
John S.
-
Yes they are the same, he changed the numbers to big cats.

Hi Wheeltapper, that is a great looking engine to build, and while I have often shared your lament of shortage of tooling, remember, someone was making engines when he had to build a lathe first. There is a way around every possible stumbling block, and while rotary tables are nice they are luxuries, not necessities. I have used a level on my three jaw chuck to use my lathe as a shaper to cut splines for a PTO clutch in my tractor, many people have shown the use of "dropping verticals" off a line drawn at an angle to a line representing the circumference of something, and divided it very accurately that way. Many rotary tables have been made using only common taps and constructed jigs. When you make tooling for one project, you will find it is used long after that project is finished, typically. :beer: Cheers, mad jack
-
Hi Jack
thanks for the kind words.
I'm the first to subscribe to the "making tools to make tools" way, but sometimes don't you just want to build the damn engine. :lol: :lol:
I should get the material for the cylinder liner and crankcase tomorrow so there should soon be some more pics.
Note the words' should' and 'soon' in the above . :doh:
Roy

Hi
back again.
A few more progress pics.

Hi
I dont usually embarrass myself in public but I had to take a pic of this.
poor mans DRO.
can I nominate it for bodge of the year? :lol:
I had to move the mill table an exact amount for the hole centres of the con rod for this engine.
steel bar clamped to the lathe tray, square clamped to that, digital caliper clamped to the mill vise and the other bit of the caliper clamped to the square.
piece of wood to take out the spring. :bugeye:
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/poormansdro.jpg)
am I mad or what?
Roy
-
could have just used the dials! :lol:
-
On this mill I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.
Roy
-
Nicely bodged Roy! :clap: :clap:
I really like that........ :thumbup:
David D
-
As long as it works :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Coming on nicely :thumbup: :thumbup:
John
-
can I nominate it for bodge of the year? :lol:
That's even worse than the rig-up I used on my milling machine yesterday to trim the angled top and bottoms of the splayed wooden legs of a table for my grinder and (now mounted on a base) portable bandsaw!
am I mad or what?
If you are, you'll be the last to know. Maybe we should have a poll :lol:
Andy
-
Mad skills on the DRO :headbang: :headbang: We do what needs to be done!
Build is coming along nicely.
Eric

Hi all.
Just a couple of pics of the finished crankcase.
Or
how to turn an expensive lump of aluminium into a hole :scratch:

cheers
Roy
-
Roy,
said it slightly tongue in cheek - I wouldn't trust my chinese mill dials either, except for over short distances ... the further I go, the larger the error gets, must be thread pitch error or something?!
I haven't got around to installing a DRO either. I've always debated whether to spenda few hundred quid doing that or putting that money towards a better machine! I think a better machine would cost an awful lot though, unless I went down the older but better quality route like I have with the lathe.
Anyway, looking very good so far! :bow:
-
Thanks Nick.
the trouble with my mill is for a start its an imperial one, they didn't have a metric version in stock.
the dials go from zero to 6o thou then a 2.5 thou gap back to zero. so you go from 0 to 60, turn the dial to 0, go to 60, turn to 0, and on and on and......................... :doh:
the measurement you want is in mm so convert to thou, divide by 60 for number of turns plus remainder.
by the time I've done that for a distance ( and lost count ) I may as well measure the space with a wooden rule and a piece of chalk. :bang: :bang:
silly bl##dy thing.
Roy
who will struggle on regardless :D
-
:lol:
Mine are 0-60thou too in 2 thou intervals I think, but I haven't noticed a 2.5 thou gap? Maybe that's why mine are innaccurate!
-
Nick,
heres a pic of mine
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/milldial.jpg)
1 thou divisions and a silly gap.
Roy
-
Cheers for that Roy, no mine definitely doesn't have the gap just checked, it's just cr@p!
Strange, guess they decided to use a 16tpi thread before thinking of the consequences?! :doh: What thread does that make mine though?!
I often think about putting the digivern type scales on too which would be far cheaper but obviously not as good, have heard all the stuff about swarf, coolant and batteries running out, as well as not being able to see the screens. I need to save up for a proper DRO, think it will transform the mill.
Anyway, sorry for straying a little OT, good work around :thumbup:
Nick
-
Nick, Roy.
My first mini mill was 1/16" per turn. Drove me mad, after a working lifetime of "thous per turn"...... :bang: :bang:
Given chance to replace a few months ago. I bought same, but metric version.... 1.5mm per turn. With 75 divisions!! :bugeye: :bang: :bang:
1 turn gives .059"..... I could cope, if X & Y had 0-60 dials, like the Z axis..... :thumbup:
David D

Jeeze, that sounds worse than mine.
I started another thread here about this.

Let's get back to creating intricate pieces of metal........ :thumbup:
David D

Hi
Talking of intricate pieces of metal;
we have a piston.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/Piston.jpg)
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm72/wheeltapper_2008/model%20engineering%20stuff/Piston2.jpg)
the next job is making the piston rings. cast iron, lovely and messy, yuck.
Ive also gone mad and ordered a rotary table. its a 4" vertex and I'm getting the dividing kit as well so I can tackle the cams and other things .
Cheers
A very hard up Roy.

Hi
just a couple of bits.
now I've got a rotary table I can do the con rod.
I've also made and fitted the piston rings.

Hi Roy :bow: :bow: :bow:
you have made a cracking job of making the carb :bow: :bow: :bow: and some dam fine machining on the rest of the engine parts too :thumbup:,,, i will be watching this build as i fancy building this engine one day .

That can be no embarrassment, but rather the cobbled together accuracy test of the decade, and should be enshrined with a framed picture on the wall of your shop. I'll second that call for "bodge of the year!! :nrocks: :bow: :mmr: :beer: Cheers, mad jack

Rob
-
It looks like you're really getting close now, we ought to be treated to some sound and fury out of the little beast fairly soon I expect. Very nicely done, fine craftsmanship all the way. :bugeye: :jaw: :beer: Cheers, mad jack
-
Hi all
I had a bit of a shock earlier, I made the timing disc to set the timing and discovered to my horror that the cams were assembed wrongly on the shaft. :doh: :doh:
I managed to break the loktite grip with a small blowtorch so now I can do it again PROPERLY :bang: :bang:
Oh well, something had to go wrong sooner or later.
Roy

It is a long honored tradition in the far east, China in particular, but other places as well, to deliberately insert an error in a work, whether art, building, dish, everything which demands skill, just to demonstrate no intent of challenging the perfection of creation. It is said that failing to do so will invoke an unintended error, which will interfere with the intended job one is doing, so maybe you need to put a flaw in it, so you won't get something else wrong. I think some of these old traditional thoughts which have echoes in our own societies are of real value in putting our work and lives into perspective in the world at large. Lots of fine looking parts, and getting awfully close to a finish line I hope. Very nice work, and it should be a great runner. :jaw: :beer: Looking forward to video, cheers, mad jack

Nice looking engine and some realy nice machining i am looking forward to seeing her run. :clap:

That is brilliant, looks great. Was just thinking though, it must be difficult to start by a flick of the finger ... you're only relying on getting it to fire once and pick up so it's great that it does. Bet it would start every time with some sort of pulley or electric starter though ?

Well done mate..looks a cracking engine!

Hi guys
one more pic then I'll stop boring you with it.
I had a free afternoon and a lump of ali
so I made a spinner.

all thats left is to make a nice wooden ( yuk,wood) base for it, I'll get my son to do that, he's into wood.
then there will be one last pic and then I need to think what to do next.
I rather fancy Bog's paddleduck engine.

So at the moment I have 5 books and 6 sets of plans all brand new except that one book has all the material sizes highlighted in highlighter pen.
Do you still have a booklet and spare set of plans they you would be prepared to sell?

it might be an idea to phone them first if you are after something in particular.
Its not a dedicated steel stockholder, its part of an engineering firm called Denny Engineering.
if they haven't got what you're after they can probably get it.
