How To Bore A 100-Year-Old Steam Cylinder | Manual Machining Tips

Steam Cylinder Boring on Horizontal Boring Mill | #steamengine #manualmachinist #boringmill" Hi everyone and welcome to Topper Machine LLC! In this video, I take on one of the most challenging projects in my shop: boring the cylinder of a 1917 A.D. Baker steam traction engine. After over 100 years of wear, the cylinder is no longer round and requires precise machining on the Lucas Horizontal Boring Mill. Please visit my website to get more information: https://www.toppermachine.com/ Using a Chandler Duplex Boring Head, I restore the cylinder’s integrity to prepare it for new components. Follow along as I share the setup process, machining challenges, and tips for restoring vintage equipment.
