The casting is mounted on its side on an adjustable angle plate. I used a fly cutter to face the long sides. My milldrill doesn't have power feed, so I had to crank the table by hand. This left an unsatisfactory finish, but it was the best I could do at the time. (Now that I have a shaper, I can get a beautiful finish on work like this; but I didn't have a shaper at the time.)

The final cuts left a finish that wasn't too horrible, but still not up to snuff. I had to do some cleanup work by hand later, using wet/dry sandpaper fixed to a cheap surface plate that I bought for the purpose. A very light coat of spray glue works well for this, by the way. Big...

This is where the setup got a little ridiculous. To do the short sides, I mounted the work on a right-angle plate and shimmed the bottom end away from the plate. It worked fine, but it's a good thing that these angles didn't have to be precise. Big...

Here's a shot of the crossheads, crosshead guides, piston rods and connecting rods. It's an embarrassing photograph: I put the connecting rod backward, with the big end at the crosshead. Fortunately nothing was fastened together at this point. That's a one-inch micrometer. Big...
