What material are these made from? I just done some material research and was amazed that some rings are made from tool steel. But, I would bet the ones you make are some grade of spring steel. I have been wanting to design and make a tiny (50cc Max) long stroke slow rpm diesel engine. Been thinking at times how to make the rings. After watching this video, I now have confidence I can make the rings. I may use fewer fixtures if possible. I bet you grind them after heat treat using another fixture. In my one off case, I bet I can make an arbor with end clamp cap and use something like a "ring compressor" to close the rings on the arbor, then clamp them with end cap. Remove compressor and grind. The engine I want to make is experimental, I want to see if I can make a small engine that can be fueled on waste oil, diesel, or similar. Anyhow, thanks for the inspiring video, this helped me a lot.
Interesting videos. If you add an air or some kind of manual closer on the back end of your spindle for your collett chuck it would be much faster than using the tail center unless you need it for support.
I have an application and we're prototyping right now. Need rings to be inserted into a 26mm cylinder, metal must be non-ferrous, and the cross-section of the ring must be very slim -- like in fractions of millimetres. Can you do them?
+U3erpru7ser Thank you, these rings are used in diesel engines for locomotives. I haven't made oil-scraper rings, but I guess it has similar principle, initially in addition, grooves are perforated by punching and then calibration is carried out .
I can see how you can make a bunch of piston rings the first and second ones but the bottom one i.e the oil 3rd ring with the three parts and humps on them cann't see those easilly done ... don't even know how they can be done. So my problem is with a lathe how one can mill out the 3rd piston ring and valve spring (or springs in general)
+brickman291 Thank you! I congratulate you with the purchase )) But - I'm sorry - I make rings in industrial scale, not single request. You see I have many fixtures in my work, and it's hard to make it with a few rings. I hope you understand me. Good luck in your repair ))
Can you make different sizes of rings...I have an old Sears paint sprayer found at the dump and all that is missing are the rings and oil seal...can not buy either of these.
I always wanted to see how rings were made. Great video.
Thank you. Good luck!

All light tight in the gauge and flat I hope.
Hi thanks for the video. could tell me how you would go about making PTFE piston rings .
used the d3 steel hardening 1200. apter. fot inside the frezer minos 50 overnight

impressive!
+KFLY67 Thank you !
Nice work, but for what kind of engine are these? And can you also make oil-scraper rings?

+sam111880 It's probably done with a metal press foe the mold of the spring.
Nice I got old Italian motorcycle 175 cc had new piston made can you build me the rings?

Sorry, I’m afraid it is not
What is the name of this machine
What in the hell has 300 pistons?
