Decided to fit the crankshaft counterweights that I had waterjet cut last week to the crankshaft. First I had to find the lowest spot on the original crank weight with a dial indicator. Marked it and then found the center line of the new weights. Moved over to the milling machine and set up each weight over top of an unmachined one for relief and started milling. Each of the four original crank weights was a different diameter so I had to machine each one to fit, so I numbered them so no mix up could occur prior to welding them on. I made a lot of metal shavings today and had a great time doing it. Who knows what might happen tomorrow!
