The connecting rod blank was set up in the mill and the holes for the cap bolts drilled,
The cap end was then cut off.
The cap blank was made the correct size and the rod blank trimmed.
The cap blank was reunited with the rod blank and using a series on slotting drills the bore was opened to 16mm
BUT on measuring it was 15.5 ***?- chinky cheap tools.
Luckily I had not moved the X Y so i fitted the boring head to finish the job.
Now waiting for the next stage.
Onward and upward Brian.
