Hi All
I was building a bead roller which came to an abrupt halt when I fell ill as did all my projects. So with my rekindled interest I was up at 4:30 am (please don't ask me why) and decided to progress the bead roller further forward while waiting for the coupler to arrive from China for the motorisation of the rotary table.
Rotary table re-ferb ready for stepper motor
Initially I was going to turn some dies but thoughtmy time would be better spent finishing the main chassis of the project so went with making a anti flexing brace and incorporating the stop/fence (is it a fence or a stop or both
)
So the stock was cut, blocked up and machined and all painted by 9:00 am.
I hope to do some more work on the rotary table this week and fall back onto the bead roller and get this finished out of the way so I can use it on the water tank on my 3" scale Foden steam wagon. Mind you I still have to think about how I am going to mount the industrial clutched sewing machine motor which I have got to power the roller. A job for another day.
I have included some photos of the fence \stop below.
