Title: Model Solenoid Powered Wheel Grinder
Post by: flyingtractors1 on November 16, 2012, 02:15:52 PM

Some time ago I posted a picture of my "Treadle Wheel Grinder" with thoughts of posting an action video. The two finger engine required more dexterity than I could muster.  So it progressed into a solenoid & moment arm powered model.  Now I can work it just fine.

Thanks.  Yes, one of my other hobbies is lost wax casting, and I've built a variety of miniature tools, etc.  Ralph
