I did ponder what the best design was. In the end I decided that the bushes may get jammed and so the design I chose enables you to pull the rollers as well as push. If it becomes a pain then I can always alter them. I made the plates to hold the screw that moves the pinch roller. No pictures of this as it was just drilling in the mill. These plates were then used to drill m8 tapping size holes in the side plates. I also fitted the keys in the gears. the holes were tapped in the drill Progress so far with mock up screws Had a fiddle about with different sized sheet. Any more than 3mm thk and the gears cl are too far apart and start to get a bit lumpy but this is ok as I don't think the rest of the components are up to rolling any more than that. |

Ive been away for a bit but I have had this week off, so in between decorating I have got a little bit done on the rollers. The base plate was made and the tapped plates to adjust the third roller. I also fabbed up a handle. Got to use the press brake that I built a few months ago! Tools to make tools to make tools......... Here are the rolls nearly finished. just some adjusting screws to make (the ones shown are just bolts) |

....So we are nearly at the end of this build. I churned out a few adjusting screws and some t handles: Here is a couple of views of the screws and handles installed. Just need to cut the groove for the dog point grub screws into the screws, press some ferrules onto the ends to the t handles and give the thing a clean up and break a few edges and the project is complete. Not really sure what I am goint to use the rolls for, but I am sure a project will turn up. Anyone think of a tool I can make with this tool??!! :beer: :beer: :beer: |
