AKA Distraction 4 Small disc variator for the mini lathe I've just bought . It's fairly simple in operation : The input wheel from the motor drives the two rubber faced side discs. The out put wheel slides along a keyed shaft and spins fast as it gets closer to the edge. It should have about an 8:1 range |

That should definitely be a distraction! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :beer: |
| BillTodd:
Having most of the materials in stock seems a good Omen. |

Bill, Would a Kopp variator do? I've got a couple of 1/3hp units doing nothing on a shelf. Phil. |
| BillTodd:
A Kopp would do fine... But I've started cutting the metal 8-) What range do the kopp unit have? |
