Variator for small lathe

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

vtsteam:
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.

philf:
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?
