Hi Guys
Anyone got any picture examples of flywheels they have made without a RT. I appreciate that some method of dividing may be needed but without the extensive use or need of milling with a RT. I`m just looking for some ideas... and of course I don`t have a RT.
Any examples appreciated.
Chris
EDIT: just a quick addition - what is the 'standard' method of attaching the flywheel to the crank shaft. I`ve tried a grub screw but it doesn`t look great especially on small flywheels.

My "One and Only" wobbler here (http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1473.0) flywheel was drilled using a saw blade as the indexer. used what I had. Second flywheel used a taper lock. More pieces but less chance for wobble.

Second picture makes it all clear, nice one Robert
Chris, my one and only flywheel so far just had a recess and 3 holes, I spaced the holes using the lathe chuck jaws as a template.

Foozer - nice idea regarding the saw blade! Very clever :smart:
CC - same here and I was wondering if anything more elegant could be created without a RT.

More than likely, there are a lot of clever folk out there, have a search on HMEM for a few ideas, most likely a few on there.

Here's one I made without a rotary table: http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1508.0

:thumbup: your flywheel inspired me to make this post!!! I wanted to see what else could be done without a RT :)

Easy, anything you can think of can be made without a rotary table. The rotary is just a tool that'll help do certain things faster.
And your next question will be What?
I'll leave that to the student for his next assignment. :)

How would you do a standard spoked Flywheel without a RT?
Chris
-
Use your imagination...... :)
Or look up on here, there has been at least one thread showing how to do it if not two....

I would do it by careful marking out, followed by drilling and filing. Just like the old boys used to do when the most equipment the amateur had was a small lathe and maybe a drill stand. Which is pretty much what I've got as well.....
Unless the Machinery Fairy decides to drop in and leave me something. ::)

lol, I`ll have to keep my eyes open for the machinery fairy!! - must be a strong little thing.
Thanks for the useful post Andy. I may give it a go, I think perhaps I am too limited by how others do things rather than giving things ago using my own ideas with the equipment I have to hand.

mklotz has some good software... never used his flywheel one, but you will find it HERE (http://www.myvirtualnetwork.com/mklotz/#shop) Scrool down the page
