Steam Engine Plans Only Horizontal Mill Type Lathe CNC Live Kit Model Air Toy

Accurate but misleading - lathe and machinist skills required

The drawings are very easy to see and read, however they are not to scale. This means they are plans not templates. This means that you can not glue the drawings to your material and then cut them out using the drawings as a pattern, which is what I thought I was going to be doing.

The discription states that there is no foundry or casting work required, that everything was assembled using stock materials that were easily available. I interpreted this to mean that I would be able to build this model from parts readily available from any hardware store and that no machining would be necessary - wrong. MACHINING IS REQUIRED. This means that you will have to have machinist skills and a precision steel cutting lathe.Read full review

Poor instructions and drawings

It would be better to charge twice as much and have clear drawings with proper tolerancing information. As well as a complete list of hardware required, and an exploded view to make sense as to how to assemble it. Other drawings I have bought and built have been much better.Read full review

If you know anything about machining you can make this.

For me it was very easy to make. It also helps that I have been a tool maker for 40 years. I ended up modifying some of the parts and redesigning others to make it (in my opinion) a better running engine.
You always have the option to build it the way you want.Read full review

Steam Engine Plans

This steam motor is a well made design. I am going to make in my free time. I would recommend these plans to anyone. I was looking for a steam engine more advanced and did not require any castings. These plans are more advanced( valve and cam assembly) than a wobble steam motor.Read full review

Misleading user

Those photos make me think this is a good STEAM machine to teach, but only few papers shipped. I lost money and in Vietnam don't know how to send it back
