i recently made a model of my southbend 9 inch shaper. I stripped my shaper down and measured all the parts involved , worked out a scale which I think was 1/5 and got to work. The model was made without using any castings a was made mainly from pieces of 1/8 “ plate welded together and scrap metal machined up to suit.

Very nice, how did you machine the 'T' slots? The traction engine looks good too, Can you give us the details?

Hi Brian I machined the tee slots using a modified 5 mm end mill. I milled a ordinary slot first and the used an end mill that I necked with a Dremel grinder to only cut on the end and give the tee shape.

The engine is my Durham and North Yorkshire in 2 inch scale and is a work in progress

Fine work! Thank you for showing us.

I must admit I'd not thought to make a T-slot cutter in that way, but come to think of it, I'm pretty sure there's one among my cutters-from-goodness-knows-where.

We look forwards to progress on the engine.
