Anders, Have been following your builds you are very skilled at what you do. Time to step up to an auto, second hand cnc's are fairly affordable these days. Less time machining more time for projects and its not like you won't use it this is something you will probably do for the rest of days. Cheers

Its true, loading Material into the machine is about as hard as it gets. The guys in the shop pay me out all the time. Call me a button pusher and are amused when when I wash my hands telling me "how dirty can one finger really get" Great bunch of guys keeps me laughing all the time.:-)

Hi Beaker,
Been using your thread as one of my references in building one such engine...
Cool work you are doing...
Had a few queries regarding your engine.
What type of ball bearings are you using for your build?? Are they simple ones,angular contact or hybrid bearings??
Cheers, Patty

Hey Patty. Thanks and great to hear your doing a similar project. Bearings are just angular contact, steel case and ceramic balls. GRW make a quality bearing and can be found all over the place.
wheels have been turning slowly lately but all ways working on something. Got a spot welder in the making right now for combustion chamber and have had a try at metal spinning with mixed results. Will do an update soon.
Plenty of parts made. Cheers Beaker

Any idea what the compressor wheel is from? It looks somewhat like a Schwitzer to me. I'd love to know the dimensions and blade angles on the NGV and turbine wheel btw, I can't seem to find any for the KJ-66 either. Where did you get your whirly bits from?
