:clap: Top Job Stot :thumbup: Looks like it'll do very nicely :ddb: Now, let's see what wonders you can make with it? :dremel: :) :nrocks: Ralph. |
| Stot:
Im going to make something soon I swear! But I decided to add a bearing, or two :headbang: I went with a thrust bearing for the turret and a roller bearing to support the bolt and provide the pivot. Just had to machine out the recesses for the bearings and then fir them. :dremel: Cheers Stot |

Well Stot, it looks like you've got a fine piece of tooling to add to your kit, those bearings are like icing on the cake. I'm in the middle of working out the manipulation of stepper motors with the purpose of putting one on my rotary table, to get more accurate results, and allow it to be power driven for such purposes as it would be useful, and seeing your finished ball turner, I can see using one of the smaller stepper motors I've collected out of printers and the like, and can easily see this as a fine application for adapting a stepper motor. Fine looking piece of tooling, I like the grub screws as adjustment over slots and bolts. Did you mark it with a set of initials and a date stamp? It'll be around a while, and you want the next owner to remember he didn't build it, half my tools have initials from dozens of different individuals, it reminds me constantly of the continuity of our work, and that we leave behind monuments to our imaginations for others to find. Top notch, all the way :beer: :thumbup: :nrocks: mad jack |
