Really cool project. No skimping on the craftsmanship. Nice job.

The flywheel should have had a matching radius as the outside cage.

@ wags9777 - Yes that would have looked great for sure. I don’t have a radius tool to be able to cut that 3/4” wide radius and trust it would look nice. With the price of brass I did not want to risk messing that up. Maybe next time. Thanks for the comments.

Enjoyed watching your great work. Do you think it’s possible to make one with a 3 jaw chuck and get the precision required?

@lisag2771 - Thanks for the feedback and the question. I believe you could make this in a 3 jaw yes. The flywheel and the bearing cup are the only two parts I turned around where any runout in your 3 jaw could cause issues. To minimize on the flywheel, you could just turn the outside after you turn then for sure you would have the center hole, outside, and one complete side all concentric. Having the outside of the boss and the cut out a little off should not have a huge impact on balance. For the bearing cups, since you are machining the bearing recess and the center hole concentric, I think the thread may have enough play to make up for runout on your 3 jaw. You could also use a cone bearing on the bottom side and only use the ball bearing on the top to allow the shaft to extend out the top for the starter? Bottom line, will depend on how far your three jaw runs out when you turn parts around. you could also mount the flywheel on a mandrel and machine both sides at one time? Good luck.

You have to go through inserts pretty fast

@wags9777 - Not really. I used the same parting and threading insert the whole project and I think I turned the other 2 inserts 1 time.

I feel like your lathe only has one speed

@wags9777 - For this material and even the stainless at small diameter I could run max speed on my lathe for most of it. I chose to slow it down one speed. So yes, other than the threading and parting, I did use the same speed for most of this project. If I had a little CNC lathe. I would have been turning faster for a lot of it.
