Sand mixer, made from stuff just lying around. Electric motor counterweights the sand load. This is for mixing the CO2 sand. Needs a few of the sharp edges cut off yet and a motor drive.

That's all well thought out and probably will inspire kids to get into Moto GP.

Both you and Flettner seem to be the "just get on with it" types here!!

Test fire, seems to run fine, Ethanol fuel.

First picture is gassing ( CO2 ) a 700 twin crankcase mold. The rest is a throttle body for a fourstroke, note the core to make this casting hollow.
The Solocil is mixed at 2.5 / 3%

I'm guessing the CO2 moulds are more suitable for one off type jobs, quicker than greensand no doubt?
What are you using to do the gassing - Soda Stream?

Is your new furnace the same as the previous one? The photos do make it look like you have made it with a smooth inner shell, but I'm probably wrong here (I realise it could be an optical illusion!).

Greensand would not hold together with my minimal side tapers, as the pattern gets extracted.
I went and got a CO2 bottle from Super Gas here in Hamilton.
Furnace is the same as last time only bigger, the crucibal is bigger this time. Hoping for a first melt this Saturday.
Throttle bodies are for Wayne from Blackwood Yamaha, he's building an 850 twin ( Yamaha ) road racer, it will be fitted with a Link ECU.

First melt successful! FAB

Nice work Flettner !

All I have done recently is make my disc sander, still need to make a tilting table for it. The sandpaper comes with stickyback 12", so you just peel off the backing paper and slap it on. Motor is a 3 phase running off a little VFD




Also was given this saw , 4 pulley speeds plus Hi/Lo so can go slow enough for metal. 3 phase

[Flettner]

Four cylinder heads, one 700 twin crank case lower half (with balance shaft housing). Also cast four drum throttle bodies for Wayne Blackwood but he's taken them home to cut the runners off ready for heat treatment.
Yow Ling, nice ban saw, free? Nothing in life is free.
Ideal'y the tilting plate in front of your disc sander should also rise and fall to expose more disc for the big jobs. Normaly it's on center.
