Home made Rod milling machine

Re: Home made Rod milling machine
I'm all in favor of saving a couple bucks, but most machine shop can do this for about 50 bucks. Then you will have it perfect and sleep good at night knowing it's right and balanced. Rember during balancing there is some oil weight on the piston.

I guess you are right. I have a ton of tools and like doing stuff myself also. That 50 bucks that you saved shoudl go to a new tool. That's how I feel about stuff I save money on. Just make sure you deburred the wrist pin hole.

pretty interesting, personally i'd have milled out the piston instead of shaving down the rod.. but thats me and i have access to a mill.. also its alot easier to make all your pistons equal weight for balancing purposes
my machinist taught me how to balance my rods, just curious how you went about balancing yours, its really easy to do it wrong.
