Show and tell: stuff you made

[theflatline]

That’s the grinder I want! Did you just buy the chassis or with a motor? Did you go single speed or variable? What belts do you like?

Chassis, motor and variable speed control. Just easier to get it all together. As far as belts I’m just trying different brands. Staying away from the Uber expensive ones as I’m not doing actual production. I got it a while back but still think it is one of the better deals out there.

Do you use the variable speed much? I was thinking of going with the single speed package they have.

Not an absolute necessity but it is helpful. ie slower speeds for finer grit. Helps with more control over material removal, esp when grinding non metallic material. It’s something you can always add later.

a couple of new projects I started the day before yesterday. Working now so won’t get back to them till Monday/Tuesday. Using some leaf spring.

My main squeeze is car stuff. Recently I built some housings to use a spherical bearing in a control arm instead of a rubber bushing.

Not really as much "I made" but I am 3D printing me a few stripper "clips" for my K31 as I won't pay 20-25 bucks for the cardboard original style.

That's one big project you've got on your hands! Are you an A&P mechanic (and helicopter pilot?)

 

[Elk34]

I'm not a A&P, but have friends that are. Where it's at now he has all the lifts and tools to do it. I can hover and do basic manuvours but not a pilot. I'm working on that.

It sounds like you've got a good friend there. It'll be nice to get that done and take it out. I'm an A&P, but I'm not current at all. It's been years since I've worked around them. Yeah, flying isn't too hard at all, but helicopters are a little trickier. Good luck with the project (and getting your license)!
