This last images from the front..shows the large angle plate used as the base for everything. The motor runs at 57rpm...just nice. Bouncing back and forth from this and the making the 4 steal poker pins in the shop on the lathe was fun.
So...I finished..
1) Making 4 2.5"wide leather flat drive belts.
2) Modifying and remachining all 4 spindles by cutting them and machining threads on their ends to accept 4 flanges.
3) machined 4 poker pins on the lathe with 1/2" ball tips.
4) Machined 4 flanges to be mounted on the bottom of the 4 mirror tables.
5) Located, engineered, mounted a 2hp 56rpm outdrive motor to bottom of polishing machine base.
Lastly...I need to mount drive chain and drive sprocket(once they arrive)...and make the four mirror tables.
Fun fun fun. I will beable to work on four seporate mirrors independantly of one another at the same time...what a pleasure when that happens.
Thanks for looking in.
