I've only used the machine to test out some different electrode shapes, but I love it already :) I'd like to see how big an electrode I can use and still get a decent rate of removal - any old excuse for a play :) |

Old girder forked motor bikes have friction damping, use discs just like you are describing, also older 2CV's. Look on vintage m/c suppliers. |

I've managed to get the old girl back in action - just cut a disc out of some thin plywood, the pilot hole was exactly the right size for the mounting shaft, and the disk was exactly the right size to replace the clutch plate. Screwed the thing in reasonably tight, and she's off and running! I've no idea how long it'll hold out, but even if it only lasts a few cutting hours, it'll cost pennies to replace again & again. I've actually got a proper job in it at the moment, pictures to follow. |
