Model A - still milling

 It's been a busy week what with one thing and another but one thing that did happen was a delivery from Tracy Tools - 2 milling cutters and a slot drill which enabled me to finish the first slot and start the second. 

This is how it looks in place:

Note that the edges of the slots are currently radial - they will have more of a tangential slope once we move to the vertical slide setup.

This is the same view with the original kickstart shaft:

And for the record, from the other end of the kickstart travel:

Next we are back on the lathe to mill the long slot that goes most of the way around the shaft:

That is three 0.5 mm passes.
