Like any crank web, the cast crank part was designed to hold two shafts at a given offset.
However the two holes would need to be parallel in all planes for it to work without imparting a twisting action into the system; and the holes should be the correct distance apart to match the piston stroke.
The crank casting was held in the 3-jaw chuck and a square used to set it upright to the lathe bed.
In this setting the hole for the crank was drilled and reamed. Half the amount needed to get the part to final thickness was machined from the back face of the crank.
The crank was set to run true in the 4-jaw chuck so that a concentric step could be machined to suit the hole just drilled in the crank web.
A collet chuck could also be used but one the correct size was not available.
The crank was pinned to the crankshaft and the outer face machined to bring the part to final thickness.
Also in this setting the small end was faced to final thickness using light cuts because of the intermittent cut.
