Good morning, Natlek. I can't remember why I thought about this. Perhaps because we were discussing cutting and filing a slot for a guard/bolster and I thought this could minimize filing needed to get a straight and square shouldered slot?I understand now what you mean , but I can t see for what task I will use this set up , Weo ?
Here's a question... how do you guys organize your tooling arms? Storage wise... Trying to figure out the best way to maximize my space...
Not the best pic, but I just welded up some scrap square tube with some cut offs on either side:
I angled them around 20 or 30 degrees IIRC, just so they stay putmore easily. I'm debating puting wheels on it so I can roll it around. I'll likely add some more brackets for more tool arms, work rests, or whatever. I also have the option of putting some kind of rack or shelf on the top, but I'm still playing around with how I want to ultimately configure everything.
You can add plate from other side and make it rigid like two inch plate, I mean make frame like this ..............Messed around with this "slack belt" set up this weekend... The plate I used is too thin for sure (1/4''). I'm getting about 0.025'' of left to right movement when tension-ingthe belt. So word to the wise, if you're going to be building something like this use thicker plate! LOL
I'm going to mount this 8'' wheel straight to a tooling arm... but I wanted to test this set up first.
