Stirling Steele Welcome Page

Click here to get a sneak-peek at Steele's newest Stirling engine design. The new double cam drive is a very versatile and cost effective answer to multi cylinder beta type Stirlings. Beta type Stirlings with their higher compression ratios have long be thought to be the most hopeful Stirling for integrating into our energy hungry world. Now with this new Stirling drive it is possible to group or cluster multiple beta type Stirlings together to provide compact cost effective Stirling power producing engines or heat pumps for real world applications. Plans for this engine and finished engines based on this design are not available for sale however the US Patent covering this design improvement is available for license..

These plans provide the builder with sources for parts, detailed and assembly drawings plus full instructions for adding ball screws to your CNC converted Sieg industrial X2 mini-mill. Ball screws add speed and near zero backlash to a mill to increase the accuracy of the parts the mill can make.

This kit replaces the original motor gears and the high/low speed change gears. The belt retrofit runs much quiter (tests showed a 27% reduction in spindle noise) than the original drive gears and enhances the mill's speed range by up to 72%. The kit bolts on in about 15 to 20 minutes and includes all necessary installation hardware. A clear plastic belt guard is included along with complete instructions. This belt drive kit is one of the best bolt on improvements you can get for your mini-mill.

Plans for converting a Sieg Industrial built Mini-Lathe Model C2 and C3 To CNC. These solid little lathes are an excellent candidate for conversion to CNC and these plans make the task quick and sure. Like the mini-mill conversion, manual function is retained so you won't loose the ability to quickly manually turn a part. With the addition of CNC motion control on this lathe it will be able to interpolate shapes, cut threads and create parts that are just not possible or practical to make on a manual only version of this lathe.

Plans for converting a Sieg Industrial X2 Mini-Mill to CNC. This conversion will allow the builder to transform a 110 pound iron bench top mini-mill into a 3 axis CNC capable of performing many automated machining tasks. The mill will also retain its manual function which is ideal for the shop where it is the only mill. The conversion is bolt on and only requires the addition of two tapped holes into the base machine for installation.
