That drill press was just painful to watch. I didn't like cutting the grooves for the rings either. But my main complaint is machining out the bores for the wrist pin. There was absolutely no attempt to make the wrist pin bores square to the piston.
The engine compensates for the off-position of wrist-pin, the connecting rods [of equally poor quality] adjust by bending.
Can't help but watch, envisioning how to boost output and quality with proper fixtures, via exact equipment in use.
