new use for a planetary gear

MrFluffy:
Good extension of capacity, has the potential for toppling increased since having the top section grafted on though?

DABIRDGUY:
No tipping accidents so far, althogh I did have a hammer go flying across the shop when I spun the top too fast.

BillTodd:
Don,

I like that - consider it stolen ;)


BTW I looked up the patent date on your sheet rollers: http://www.glennsplace.com/slip_roller.htm

The patent refers to the adjustable box bearing, filed by a Hail S Grannis on May 7 1889 for the Stow and Wilcox company of Southington Connecticut

I'd guess those rollers date from about the same era :)
