The Rose Engine is mounted on a Jet cast iron lathe bed.   The bearing blocks have been cut to rough size, drilled for the alignment and mounting holes; and bored for the bearings.   The Rose Engine is assembled for the first hand driven test. A router with a variable speed control is currently being used for the cutter.   The X-Y compound has been turned 90 degrees since this picture and the longer axis was reversed in its ways to locate the handle to the front.   It can now be turned either way if needed.
